‘BUESDAY, MARCH 23,1926. “THE ROMANCE OF BAKING POWDER (By Merion J. Parker) _ Thirty years ego a four-wheeled Mechanical monster crept slowly @long one of our city streets. It} ‘Was propelled by an unseen force and as it wended its way, it puff- @d.and groaned and squeaked. Horses reared on their hind legs and tugged at their hitching lines; dogs barked their disapproval and man for shelter, while astounded bystanders could only look on in open-mcuthed amazement. The world was viewing its first auto- mobile. if that first car could amble. down that same street today, the attention it would attract would be almost as great as its first trip. What a far cry it is from the modern, well-upholstered and _ bomfortable sedan of today back to that first rough attempt at automotive engineering. | What Progress and deve’opment those thirty. years have seen.

Baking Powder as ~ commercial: article had a twenty year start on the automobile, but the first products Of either are teday curiosities in their respec- tive lines. Despite the fact that baking powder ‘is ‘still a white powder and looks like its first an- eestor, the changes it has under- ~ gone are nearly as radical as those more visible changes in the auto- mobile. For the sake of compari- | , sen let .us consider similar types | of changes in both industries. Phe automobile has been made more durable. It withstands wear and tear much better than its prototype. Baking powder has undergone an analogous develop- ment. The Modern powder is musth better able to withstand the ‘Wear and tear of varying climatic eenditions—so fatal to baking powders. The speed of the auto- mobile has been developed and ‘until: it now conforms ‘with every modern condition of teavel. .The speed of action of baking ‘powders has also been vand developed until it has brought to the correct er dewenged by modern bak- QUIETS DISTURBING RACK.
