Cotton Festival
Slated This Month
In South Carolina

AIKEN, S. C.-The town Of Aiken
is known everywhere for its polo,
harness racing, golf and its resort
atmosphere, but September 1926
it Is holding it's first annual festi-
val and the theme OF the three day
affair Is cotton.
Growing and manufacturing OF
cotton turns the wheels of commerce
in the county of which the famous
resort is the seat. Horse Greek
Valley between Aiken and Augusta,
Ga, is dotted with modern textile
plants.
One Aiken County textile mill, for
instance, produces enough cloth in
a year to go around the world more
than twice. The South's modern
textile industry now employs over
100000 people.
In 1845 William Gregg built at
Graniteville of native stone the big
gest cotton mill OF his day. Gregg's
wasn't the first mill in the South,
but along with 1t he built the fore
runner of today's mill community,
complete with schools and churches,
and he was the foremost manufac-
turer of his time to insist upon
free white labor.
The establishment Of the mill was
a significant point in the develop
,ment of Southern industry, because
Gregg, a crusader for social reform,
preached that manufacturing would
i,e the economic salvation OF the
Ilonlanded Southerner.
The modernized Graniteville mill
Is still in operation today and under
It's original charter.
Cotton Is not only the principal
cash crop of Aiken County, but the
areas cotton mills are its economic
life blood, with well over 80 per cent
of the textile mill dollar going for
wages, raw materials, taxes and new
equipment.
The cotton festival, in which
business, the textile mills and the
Chamber of Commerce are cooper
ating, will include parade, a street
dance, the coronation OF a festival
queen by the director of q famous
orchestra, a football game, q boxing
match, a golf tournament and other
attractions. Merchants have planned
to give away hundreds OF dollars IN
trade certificates.
There will be d number Of exhibits,
many of an educational nature.
The festival will also mark the
first showing In South Carolina OF
the travelling photo exhibit OF the
Textile Information Service, which
has been presented before leading
trade bodies and in art museums IN
the last few months.

NEWPORT, r. I.-This famous
sea-coast city, once the blue ribbon
watering place for American So
ciety, has just completed q tradi-
ton breaking season.
Faced with a drastic shrinking
Of its superwealthy society clientele
and a considerable de-emphasis OF
it's Importance as a United States
Navy center, Newport had it's choice
of languishing gracefully but un-
prosperously or of trying to sell its
natural attractions to more people
at popular prices. The City FatherS
and the hard-headed Yankee busi-
nessmen decided to experiment with
the latter alternative.
In view of the habits of a century
or more, it was not a decision lightly
made. The observation-disclosures was
mixed with conservatism and a
formula which had brought fame
and prestige is not to be tinkered
with casually. But the closing and
auctioning of some Of the great
estates along the Atlantic Ocean
front meant sharply reduced tax
revenues and the deactivation OF
most of the naval establishment

helped the cause, either knowingly
or otherwise, by sending a trained
historian and archaeologist to super
wise excavations around the tower
in an effort to establish its true
origin.
While most of them took no in
terest or in some cases, even de-
plored the trend, few of the most
famous of the Newport society group
furthered the cause. The Countess
Laszlo Szechenyi, formerly Gladys
Vanderbilt, who also has a home in
Washington, leased THE Breakers"
pretentious family mansion on the
Ocean Drive, to the Preservation
Society with the understanding that
it would be open to the general pub
lie at modest admission fee. 1t
has been a popular sightseeing at
traction during the past season.
Another of the ocean front man.
sions, "Ochre Court" reputedly cost
ing $5,OO0,00O to build, was given
outright by the Goelet family to the
Sisters of Mercy to be used as a
Catholic Girls College. Even the
on-again, off-again auctioning of
"Chetwode," the $150,000 home of
John Jacob Astor, brought some
summertime publicity.
Even the sponsors OF this overall
effort to lift Newport out OF the
past into the future recognize GER
tain Instructions. The city has no
passenger rail service and scanty air
service. Located in actuality on an
island In Narragansett Bay, it Is
reached from the west by a COM
bination Of toll bridge and ferry and
from the east by roundabout route
by toll bridge or freeway through
thickly populated areas. 1t does
not have hotel facilities in abund-
ance. But it does have the "cool
summer climate. good beaches and
unsurpassed sailing waters and the
ancient and exciting history OF a

meant serious loss of payroll and
an important part OF the social
flavor.
Remaining as irremovable assets
were such attractions as a cool
summer climate, good beaches and
unsurpassed sailing waters, and the
ancient and exciting history of a
picturesque community. The simple
objective was to spread the word
open at least some of the doors and
welcome the tourist public. 1t will
take at least one more season, per-
haps several, to tell whether all
parts of the objective can be
achieved. The summer tastes and
habits of Mr.. and Mrs. America
create no profound doubts that 1t
can be.
Perhaps with a slight civic shud-
der, NeWporters accumulated a
$4,000 kitty and bought them
selves a two-year publicity cam
paign. To do the spade work. they
hired an aggressive tourist-conscious
publicity firm that already had such
diverse interests as travel in Egypt,
Holland. Belgium, Virginia Beach
and Miami.
A Newport News Service was set
up in the Hotel Viking where picture
hats, parasols and Navy braid had
once been the rule of the day.
The forthcoming flow of news" did
not deal with beauty contests and
"cheesecake" but rather with the
charms of Thames street, the glamor
of Bellevue avenue, the magniflcence
Of the Ten Mile Ocean Drive, and
the intriguing riddle OF the Old
Stone Tower (Which may have been
built by the Vikings as church in

Riley that wrote that bit of poetry
which comes afreSh to our minds
each Autumn If you ever had that
happy privilege of living in the
country and could step outside on
frosty morning like we had last
week, surely these lines would pop
right into your minds. 20, it sets my
heart a-clickin' like the tickin' of
clock, when the frost is on the pun
kin and the fodder is in the shock"
/ don't think a single pumpkin could
have escaped the mantle of Jack
Frost last week
Autumn is time for many things,
the least pleasant one to think of be-
ing housekeeping. Then there is
the storing away of summer cloth
ing and other things; the assembling
of fall and winter wardrobe; and
that ever present problem of MAX
ing the garment conform to the
NEW look" which means letting
down countless hens, sewing on
facings and other methods of max
ing the old garments a little more
modern.
It means a change in our menus al
so. It's time for baking, roasting, and
hearty oven meals. It's a good time
to serve roast duck q know 1 will be
in trouble for this very thought, for
my husband will ask" why don't we
have one, and 1 will probably wind
up by doing that very thing, so sup
pose that we look at the recipe for
Roast Duck with Apple Raisin
Stuffing
Select a young bird One of the
tests is that the feet should be soft
and beak flexible. A 4 to Z pound
duck is the best size for roasting.
Allow a pound of duck, head and
feet on, picked but not drawn, per
person. Remove the wing joint and
tip, leaving only the second joint
of the wing. Prick the skin in doz-
en- places or so across the back,
around legs, wings and tail, after
the bird is on the roasting rack. Ex-
cess fat will escape through these
holes.
Roast with the breast side up,
uncovered. To add an interesting
flavor, basic during the last hour
with orange juice and grated peel,
grape fruit, apple or diluted cram
berry juice. Roasting time should
be about 80 to IS minutes per pound
in 350-degree oven. Now here is
the stuffing recipe.
Apple Raisin Stuffing
2 cups of pared chopped apples
4 cups of fine bread crumbs
" cup of seedless raisins
2 tablespoons of melted butter or
margarin
70 cup of sugar
l tablespoon of lemon Juice
1 teaspoon of grated lemon peel
" teaspoon of cinnamon
II teaspoon of salt
"a cup of stock or water to moisten
Combine the apples, bread crumbs
and raisins. Add the remaining in
gradients. Mix lightly Mixture
should be rather dry since apples
add moisture during cooking. This
makes the right amount of stuffing
for 4 or 5 pound duck.
AS festive garnish, and also
delicious one, serve Orange Shells
with Pineapple around the roast
duck. Halve oranges and remove
the pulp. Scallop the edges of the
shells with mellon ball cutter or
pairing knife. Measure the orange
pulp and add equal amount of
crushed pineapple. Add lemon
juice and sugar to taste. Cook un-
til mixture is of marmalade con-
sistency. Fill orange shells and bake
in moderate oven about 20 minutes.
Top each with a half of walnut
meat.

This is the season for using sweet
potatoes In our menus, and there are
so many ways of preparing them.
Filling orange shells Gas pre-
pared above) with boiled and mash
ed sweet potatoes, to which have
been added butter and cinnamon,
with the orange pulp and juice, then
baked in a moderate oven, is one
way. Mashed with raisins added,
then placed in casserole, and topped
with marshmallows, and Drowned
in the oven makes another delicious
and attractive dish. But for the
moment we will turn to two recipes
for potato pie.
Sweet Potato Pie
2 cups of boiled, mashed and strain
ed sweet potatoes
~ cup of brown sugar
/ tablespoon of butter

2 teaspoons of cinnamon
2 cups of rich milk or cream

Of heavy black paper or cardboard.
Study the Projected Image.
The next step, and the most i'm
portant of all, will be the selection
of the final composition. Here you
will make or break the finished
product. Place piece Of blank
nonphotographic white paper in the
printing easel and. after turning on
the enlarger light, carefully study
the image projected onto the paper.
If the composition does not suit
you, keep adjusting the enlarger
and printing easel until you have
found the best possible arrange
ment. This may take some thought
and time, but it Is well worth the
trouble. You probably will dis
cover that several, if not many,
excellent and different compost
tions will be possible from one neg
ative. Select the best one and you
will be ready for test strip.
Cut of a strip of the paper that
you expect to use for the final print
and, after covering the lens with
the red safety screen, place the test
strip in such position on the easel
as to obtain coverage from the fllm,
ranging from the darkest to the
lightest areas. Remove the safety
screen from its position across the
lens and expose the strip for what
you determine to be the right length
of time. After development of the
strip for the correct time Chased
on normal negative), you will be
able to judge how close one way
or the other you were in the test
run and allow for changes when
making the final print There are
other ways of making test expo
sures and these will be discussed
at another time.
After you have determined the
correct exposure for your print, 60

sure to check (under the red safety

certain that the entire surface of
the emulsion comes in contact with
the solution. Failure to do this will
result in an uneven or spotty de-
velopment. Once you have decided
that development has gone far
enough, don't hang onto the print.
Place 1t in the short-stop bath for
a few seconds. then place it in the
hypo, again being sure that the
surface Of the print Is evenly
covered.
+. Washing Is Important.
Right at this point is where so
many amateurs make a big mis-
take. They rush the print through
the hypo fixing bath, wash 1t and
then a few months or a year later,
wonder why stains and discolor-
ations appear on the print. After
having spent so much time in
shooting the picture and making
the print, it will pay to take the
greatest of care to insure proper
flxation and washing of your prints.
Nothing will cause more regret than
to see print fade away and then
discover that the negative Is lost.
Under normal conditions Is to 20
minutes will be long enough for
the print to fix. It is equally as
important to wash the prints
thoroughly. The length of time in
the wash will depend on the method
of washing and the temperature of
the water With a mechanical
washer with the water between so
and 70 degrees F., 80 minutes for

in France and Germany. This led
to wild speculation in bulbs, which
reached it's height in the celebrated
"tulipomania" OF 1634-37. Bulbs
were bought and sold over and over
again while still in the ground. A
single bulb of the variety T. Semper
Augustus Is said to have changed
hands for $4,000 f1orins. In other
transactions, goods such as wheat
and cattle were added to sizable cash
payments. Then came the inevitable
crash, and it required action by the
Dutch government to bring about
final settlement in many cases.
Self -Coloring Varieties.
A striking pecularity of the tulip
is the tendency for individual bulbs
in self-colored varieties suddenly to
produce flowers with striped or
feathered markings. AS rule.
seedlings at first produce flowers of
solid color. except perhaps for a
blotch at the base. Propagation by
offsets cont pues the variety in its
original color; and then, perhaps
after several years, variegated indi-
viduals appear, usually only small
proportion of group. This is known
as breaking" The offsets of these
broken flowers continue the same
variation, and as far as we know
do not revert to the self-color. This
change was observed very early in
the cultivation of the tulip, and at
one time, varieties with variegated
flowers were more highly regarded
than the sells. Broken varieties are
grown and increased like, any others.
When they originate from the late
Towering breeder varieties they are
classified as Bizarres If the stripes
and featherings are shades of dark
brown on q yellow ground, and as
