‘OMAN'S PAGE. White and Yellow Peaches BY LYDIA LE BARON WALKER. In different sections of the country ‘white and yellow peaches are considered more or Jess desirable. There 1s a pecu- larly meliow and delicate flavor and texture to white peaches that has a dis- tinet appeal to some persons, while the more pronounced and heartier flavor and texture is preferred by others. AS DECORATIVE AS IT IS DELI- CIOUS. Yellow peaches, as a variety, keep =r without specking, which in itself indicates that the yellow peach is a hardier and less delicate fruit. This very element is seen in the cut fruits. The pink-centered white peach has an almost fragile delicacy. The yellow with its deeper pink-toned center sug- gests more substance.

Clings are often selected for sweet pickling or for canning when put up whole. | are not desirable for using fresh and ripe in any way, for the pulp is too hard to separate from the stones. The following recipes are given es- | pecially for those who requested more ways of serving the ripe fruit: | " Peach Shortcake.—Make a short bis- | and bake it in two layers.

When the cake is cold | | spread onme layer with the sugared peaches. Cover with the other layer. | Spread the top with whipped cream | and circle the edge with peach slices. If the cake is large enough, a second | | small circle of peach segments can be | in the whipped cream. | | Peach Shortcake—Make a short bis- | cuit dough. Bake in a round pan. While hot, cut a circle from the top, leaving one inch all about the edge. Pull cut some of the inside, enough to form a receptacle for sugared cut peaches. Spread the inside of this shortcake lightly with butter before | putting in the peaches. - Cover with the | circle of crust previously removed. Spread with whipped cream, dot with peach slices, and serve hot. Peach Prappe.—Chop a cup of peach | | pulp and mix with sugar until well sweetened. Mix with one tablespoon- ful of powdered gelatin dissolved in one tablespoonful cold water and meited over hot water. Let stand until bogin- | ning to harden. Whip one cup rich cream and fold peaches and cream to- | gether. Pour into a mold and set on | the ice. Unmold and serve thoroughly chilled. (Copyright, 1930.) Rose Peach Salad.

He does a lot of good down there by hunting out white grubs and cutworms and it keeps him out of mis- chief up here.” This was a busy day for Mother Brown. She had a lot of sewing to do. She sat by an open window sewing and as she sewed she hummed. For a long time she worked. Then she had to go out in the kitchen for something. She MENU FOR A DAY. BREAKFAST. she . Yes, sir, the thimble was miss- ing. At first, Mother Brown thought that she ml{ht have been absentminded | and possibly have left the thimble somewhere else. She went back to the kitchen to see if she left it there. She | couldn’t find it. Then she went out- | doors to see if it had ‘fallen on th ground outside. She didn't find it there. By this time Mother Brown had stopped humming. She was anxious to | finish her sswing. It was very annoying to have lost the thimble. Moreover, she | was puzzled, She couldn’t understand | how she could have lost it. “T must have been’ careless,” said she. “When I got up in a hurry I must ha dre it and it rolled somewhere: ‘Well, I ean’t stop to hunt for it now. must have another old thimble around somewhere and I'll use that.” Mother Brown around in her work-basket and finally found s battered old thimble that would do. ‘Then she resumed her sewing. As she worked she heard the voice of Jim Crow down in the cornfield. You see, th wind was just right and Jim Crow’ voice carries a long distance. “If that black rascal was up here, I should sus- pect him of knowing something about that thimble,” thought Mother Brown. “But I saw him go down in the corn- fleld and he is still there. So I must have dropped that thimble somewhere.” She gave the matter no further thought, feeling sure that sooner or later the thimble would be found. She knew it couldn't have gone very far. | Presently she went out the kitchen to get dinner. Then she blew the horn | which was the signal to Parmer Brown | and Farmer Brown's Boy that dinner was ready. Jim Crow understood that signal just as well as the others did. He stopped hunting for white grubs and | he rode up the Long Lane and into the | farmyard. Mother Brown was standing in the doorway as Farmer Brown's Boy ap-| proached with Jim Crow on his shoul- der. Instead of riding into the house, as usual, Jim Crow flew up in a tree Mother Brown noticed this. “Well, you black scamp,” she exclaimed, “you must have found a lot to eat this morning Usually you come right in and tease to Plums.

WASHINGTON. ‘D. €, TUESDAY, 'AUGUST 5, 1930. BRIDGE TALKS BY MRS. JORN MUNCE, JR. | One of the most discussed questions |around many bridge tables is this: When should you take your partner | out of & no-trump bid, and what should | | you nold to do 02" l the takeouts, and no system will prove a winner in every case, but I believe the method | we will discuss in this talk will pro- | duce the most satisfactory results in the long Tun. The object of every pridge player should be to go game in »ne hand, and all takeout theories must e based on this assumption. Don't! think that partial scores are to be! scorned where game is impossible, but | in auction try to buy the contract as cheaply as possible, in number of tricks, 20 as to minimize your loss when a loss | has to be faced Dealer having bid a no-trump, sec- ond hand having passed, if third hand | is weak, with nothing over normal sup- port, it probably means that dealer has | strength. aiso that fourth hand is| strong and will likely bid a suit or dou- | ble dealer's bid, to ask his partner, who | has previously passed, to declare his best suit of four cards or moré. It is now generally agreed that with a hand | containing normal support, or less, third | hand should pass. A piayer with a strong hand—that is, one or more tricks over normal support—should show his | strength to his partner and should not | be satisfied with 50 per cent success. | Witen third hand holds & strong five- card major and other help he should | bid the major, giving his partner the ! choice of the major-suit bid or no- trump. Partner could go back to his no- trump bid without increasing thg con- tract, knowing the strength that partner holds. The following hands are | 2 splendid example of this bidding: | the dealer. holds— Ace, queen. king, aueen, ack. sack. 3, 'd “hand, holds— , 10, 8,15, 4 2. 2 , 6, The first round of the auction bid- ding is very simple. The dealer and his partner are one game on the rubber and dealer bids one no-trump, the hand containing strength in_three suits and no worthless singleton. West passes, and North, with a six-card major headed by the king-10, and wholly lacking in side strength, facing a mo-trump bid, bids two spades, as this holding pre- sents too good a chance for game At the major declaration and contains too many Tisks to make a pass advisable. as well as unusual strength in the heart suit, bids three hearts. Coming to the second round of bid- ding, South, or dealer, raises his part- ner’s bid of two spades to three spades He did not hesitate about bidding the three spades #s the spades in_ his hand are the ace and queen and his minor | strength was much greater than his bid | of one no-trump had shown, so in rais- ing the spades he is not overbidding. West, of course, passes again, and North Now East has the real bid- ding problem. If he bids four hearts, set, four tricks, although West is apt to fact that he has passed each time. The 100 points for honors in the hand will reduce the loss whatever it may be, and as he wants to prevent the other side from going e he bids four hearts. South doubles, and this is what is known as a free double; his partner has shown his strength and South or dealer has every reason to believe that he can set the bidder. Although this is a busi- ness double, North feels that his hand will be trickless against a heart declara- tion and bids four spades, as he knows hat West holds the worthless hand of the deal. ‘The contract bidding would be two no-trumps by dealer, a pass by West, three spades by North, dealer’s partner, | and East would have to pass, although the bidder is vulnerable. Some players | might prefer to bid four hearts, this being optional, and should the East hand pass or bid four hearts, the sec- ond bid by dealer would be four spades. this original bid of two .no-trumps was made with a hand much 100 strong for a two no-trump bid, had all four suits been stopped, dealer is justified in rais- ing his partner's bid of three spades to four, or a game-going bid. The leads and play of these hands will be given next Tuesday. WHO REMEMBERS? BY DICK MANSFIELD, Registered U. 8. Patent Office. 7 NEW AND INTreeiTmg 17 | B8 scenes' |7 ACTOAL LIFE Morion?

C. PEATTIE The good old term, dog days. mean- | ing the long hot spell, when Summer seems never ending, and we all pant when chasing the 5 o'clock commuter’s car or walking to the parking space across a blistering street, has not the sinister significance it once possessed. | Indeed, so secure are we all from a deadly plague of old that many people have forgotten what the dog days| were—-the days when the cry of “Mad dog!"” rang down the street, and the strongest men fled in terror. It is almost inconceivable to us that | to have been bitten by a mad dog 50 | years ago was regarded as fatal. You made your will, and died in lingering agony, inhumanly snapping and foam- ing, the brain a horrible disorder. Every school child ought to be taught, instead of learning the dates of battles long ago, that the man who made the Summer streets safe for children to play on was Louis Pasteur, the great Besides a dozen other scientific_accomplishments of the first magnitude, he developed the serum that | saves countless lives every year. | When he first began working, on | little more than a hunch, with anti- hydrophobia serum thousands and thousands of people died every year in France and in ail the rest of Europe and America from the bites of mad dogs and cats. | Pasteur'’s work was still in the ex-| perimental stage when two peasants came to his door with their little son in their arms, raving in the delirium of hydrophobia. They had rushed the child a hundred miles in the effort to | get him there in time for the wonderful cure they had heard about “But.” sald Pasteur, sadly, “it is too late. I cannot save him. He will only die.” Still, the parents begged Pasteur to try; he hesitated, knowing that if his serum falled before its reputation | was well established he might do irrep- arable injury to his cure. A cold man of sclence would have remained stead- | fast in his refusal. Pasteur was melted by the piteous appeals of the mother. | He gave the serum. And, as he ex- pected, it was too late. The peasants, distraught with grief, went away say- ing that the doctor’s cure was bad and had kitled their son, Pdsteur always sald that this was the bitterest moment in his life work But his serum survived the injury to its fame. Tree-of -Heaven, - When von step into one of those back yard outdoor tea rooms the proba- bilities are that you will take a seat under a spindling example of that par- ticular form of vegetable growth called a trec-of-heaven. It is & question why it should be so called, more especially | as it too often looks, in city lots, like | an overgrown and unhappy sumac—an | impression carried out just now hy its compound, heavy, greenish spikes of flowers, It may seem hard to find anything | heavenly about it. One tragition is | that it smells to heaven, or that if you | took 1t to heaven you could still smell it. After having sald disparaging things about the Allanthus tree, which comes from China and holds a place of honor there, I must confess that 1 never saw more magnificent trees of any sort than some specimens of the tree-of-heaven growing on an old abandoned estate in Maryland, down near Port Tobacco. The trunks were noble as doric col- umns; the follage was as light and lovely as if a fern should be a tree. Offhand, I should estimate those trees at_a century of growth. It changed my views in the direction of respect for the species, Allanthus | altissima, as botanists call it. | The tree-of-heaven is above all | Pomill | Superfine | Sugar i dissolves quickly and completely on fruits and cereals “Sweeten it with Domino™ Granuleted, Tablet, Superfine, Confectioners, Dainty Lumps, Powdered, Old Fashioned Brown, Yellow: Domino Syrup, Always full weight, American Sugar Refining Company | tion—on | & sort of ecstasy of ind things & Summer tree. It is late in leafing, and early deciduous in this climate. And in every way it proclaims that it is a member of a tropical family—our only representative, indeed, of the Quassia family.

Even in its| spindly, back-yard form, I will say this for the tree-of-heaven, that it grows bravely on where ofher trees| would languish in discouragement | and die. Watching the Buzzard. ‘The very essence of a long, warm, lazy Summer afternoon is in the flight of the turkey buzzard. A buzzard, to| be appreciated, has to be seen in the | distance. Close at hand, or walking about in a field, he is the most repulsive and silly looking bird in existence. His | head is so small in proportion to his| body that he looks brainless; his gait | is Jumbering, and he is seldom seen on the ground except where there is an animal carcass. But, of all the flights of our birds, the buzzard's is the most exhilarating, and we never really appreciate it when we are in a hurried mood, or merely glance up while we are walking, to see a buzzard in the sky. Oné needs | leisure; and one should, preferably, lie on the back, with hand shading against the sun, and with a distant prospect of | the Blue Ridge Mountains as a frame to _the scene. Tt is sald that our buzzard rises as high as the condor—which is to say higher than the Andes. In times of thunderstorm he is said to mount above the clouds without the least difficulty, and let the elements rage below him. Nicotine and Roses. An old countryman who lives near me may be scen by his neighbors, in the cool of any Summer evening, blowing smoke on his rosebushes. He asked me once if it didn't do the bushes good. I hesitated a long moment between bald prevarication and barren truth; my Answer was compromise. “Nicotine,” I told him, “is good for the rosebushes and bad for the greenfly.” There really were greenflies on his rosebushes, and it gave him an excuse for a pipe. Of | course, a little smoke didn't keep down the greenfly. But why deprive him of his pleasure? It never gets too hot for insects; in | the midst of Summer they hover, flerce and hungry, over the land, worked into lustry or appetite or both by the ever-rising tem ‘When we have mosquitoes and chiggers and spiders and centipedes and butter- flies, dragon flies, swarm flles, house flies, beetles, grasshoppers, katydids, cicadas, and literally thousands of others, all flitting, crawling, stinging, fighting, eating, mating and in various pitches singing, we know, in the August weeks, & little of what the year-round lfe of the tropics is like.

The order is headed, “Troops in De- partment of Texas” and is addressed to “Maj. Gen. P. H. Sheridan, U. 8. A, commanding Military Division of the Gulf, New Orleans, La.” “You are authorized by the Sccretary of*War,” reads the order, “to cause all volunteer white troops—Cavalry, In- fantry and Artillery—serving in the Department of Texas, that you think can be dispensed with, to be mustered out of the service. “The musters-out will be by entire organizations, including all additions thereto by recruits and from other sources. In selecting the organizations for discharge, preference should be given to veteran refiments having the shortest time to serve. “The musters-out, discharges and payments will be made under the regu- lations promulgated in general orders, No. 94, current series, from this office, except that the officers and men who desire to receive their discharges and payments at the rendezvous where mustered out will be permitted to do so. “Please forward to this office, without delay, a list of the regiments and inde- pendent companies you may select for discharge -under this order, giving therein, for each, the strength, present and absent, respectively. So soon as the list is complete, inform me by tele- graph of the number, present and absent, for the respective States. “Separate lists of those who may desire to receive their discharges and payments at the rendezvous fcf muster- out should be placed in the hands of the chief paymaster, so that he can at once make arrangements for payments.” ‘The order is signed by Thomas M.

GLASS. THIS GAVE HER A CHANCE TO In 1375 the ignorant London mobs witnessed a gorgeous spectacle. A fine procession set out from the Tower for Smithfield, where a tournament hac been organized under the direct aus- pices of Edward III, King of England. A long line of mounted knights was in the procession and each one's horse was led by a lady of high degree, su- perbly gowned. In the center rolled a triumphal charlot in which sat the 63~ year-old monarch. Beside him, mag- nificently attired, was a woman much younger than he, who appeared in_the character of “The Lady of the Sun.” This woman was Alice Perrers, one | of the first of many eminent gold-dig- gers figuring in the history of England. The parade and tournament were in- tended to show to the world the power she held over the King. How much younger than Edward she was nobody knows, since the facts of her origin were never discovered. Later genealogists have tried to give her a gentle pedigree, but chroniclers of her own day Insisted that she was the daughter of a tiler of Hunneye, near Exeter. She seems to have been employed in her girlhood as a poor servant, and fourteenth century accounts say that her first lover was “a certain fool that used, with his hands to carry water from the conduit to men’s houses for necessary use.” Whatever her origin, Alice had brains 1y LITTLE BENNY BY LEE PAPE.

Beflnufln% at court in a humble posi- tion in the household of Queen Philippa, her diplomacy brought promotion as a lady of the chamber. This gave her a . chance to ensnare the aging Edward. The death of Philippa consolidated her position. Alice’s reigning passion was avarice. 1f_she wheedled and cajoled Edward III it was to gain riches. She suc- ceeded beyond her dreams. For a time she virtually ruled England. The first recorded grant to her was an annual allowance of two tuns of wine, made in 1366. In 10 years she became the proprietor of manors, Jands and tenements in 17 counties. She ac- quired possession of large quantities of Jjewels and money and, four years after the Queen’s death, she even obtained her jewels. Her graft in the disposal of public offices, “corners” in necessary com- modities, and so forth, was enormous. After Edward’s death Alice spent hec- tic years trying to retain her wealth, of which the new King, Richard II, and her numerous enemies sought to dise ess her. She lost many possessions, ut still was a rich woman when she died in 1400, (Copyright, 1930.) ~ DON'T SUFFER FROM CONSTIPATION Prevent It This Pleasant, Healthful Way Beware of the frequent head- aches, the listless feeling, bad breath and sallow complexion. 1f allowed to continue, constipa- tion may get its grip on you and serious sickness can result.
