i Woman's World By MAIR M. MORGAN ^ i : Zestful First Course With the thermometer registering 90, then dropping to the 60's, our ap- petites dither and we hardly know , what we do want to eat. Consequent- ly the first course of summer menus l3 extreraey Important. Ice cold bouillon of jelly-ike con- sistency is welcome on a hot day. Fruit in the form of a cocktail, soup or appetizer is also popular for sum- mer meals. Chilled fish cocktails, Tegetable appetizers and vegetable Juice cocktails all make inviting begin- nings for hot weather menus. Careful- ly seasoned and thoroughy chilled, these first courses invite one to forget the weather and eat. Not Too Stiff If it's possible to serve a cold con- coction in a well of ice, so much the better. But if this form of service Is ^not convenient, keep the food on ice until ready to serve and always chill the service container before filling it with the mixture. Jellied consomme is delicate for hot noons or evenings. Highly seasoned, It stimulates the appetite much as hot Boup does. .lellied tomato bouillon is appealing with Its tart piquancy. It should be auiveringly firm, but not stiff enough to shape. A too-stiff jelly is unappetiz- ing. Crisp wafers are a good accompani- ment tor any jellied soup. And radish- es and celery may be served with any- thing but a mixed vegetable soup. Canned soups, bouillon cubes or freshly made stock may be used for Jellied soups. Instead of long cooking and fussing over meat bones trying to extract the gelatine, try using gelatine, with canned soup or bouillon cubes. This makes a delicious jellied soup ftiiich is very easy to prepare. Extra Spice Needed Extra salt and pepper are needed for Iced bouillon, since very cold foods liave a tendency to dull the taste. Fruit, also, is refreshing and zestful served in one of its many forms. In making a fruit cocktail, be sure to cut fruit neatly iu small pieces. Crushed or broken fruit is much less inviting than firm perfect sections. If melon Is served as an appetizer do not cover It with crushed ice. This harms the flavor and is not a really effectual method of chilling. Chill the fruit thoroughly before cutting and serve at once. Boiling Salmon ^ If oil is rubbed on salmcji^to be boiled and the flsh pla^^ in oiled paper the full goodfteeffand color will be retained. AlgnJ add a little vinegar to the boiling ^l^ter. FricassjSre of Veal A few cold scrjdps of veal, some thin rashers of bacM«, the yolk of an egg, a little parsle.^^easoning. First puj^^ pieces of veal through _^ â€" aJWrtfcWTthen make a sauce by stir- ring 1 02. flour into 1 oz. hot butter, and gradually adding % pint veal stock. Bring to the boil. Season with V'epper and salt, and a pinch of nut- meg. Put in the meat â€" but only keep it warm; do not let it boil after this. Cook a few tiny rolls of bacon. Now stir into the sauce the yolk of ^a egg beaten up wjth a little lemon- Juice and a dessert-spoonful of finely chopped parsley. â-  Serve on a very hot dish, and sur- round with bacon roils. New potatoes and green peas should accompany this dl.sh. Vegetable Time-Table To avoid the unpleasant experience of finding part of your dinner ready for the table and the other part merely half-way cooked, it is a good idea to study the time tables which have been worked out in kitchen K.boratories for the benefit of the beginner in cooking. However, there are many factors which must be considered in the cook- lug of meats and vegetables that time tables cannot specify. The varying maturity, time from the garden and size of materials cannot be calculated In the making of the time table. Young, fresh - gathered vegetables win cook in less time than riper varie- ties. Wilted vegetables will take longer to cook, too. Cut Large Vegetables Small or large vegetables cut into than those left whole. The more sur- face exposed the shorter the cooking period. The time required for pre- paring vegetables for cooking must be considered in the planning of the whole meal. Green peas should cook in 20 to 30 minutes. Asparagus cooks quickly and is quickly prepared. Thirty minutes should be allowed for cooking this vegetable. Green beans cut iu diamonds should cook in 30 minutes. Remember to cook all green vege- tables uncovered. This keeps them in- vitingly green. New carrots cut in slice.s, cook ten- der In 15 or 20 minutes. Diced they will take longer New beets require only a thorough scrubbing before cooking, and they should cook In 30 to 40 minutes. Bake Potatoes An Hour The method of cooking potatoes de- termines how long it takes to cook. Baked potatoes need an hour in an oven which ri^glsters 400 degrees F. Here again, the size of the vegetable must be considered. Potatoes cut in half lengthwise will usually cook tender In boiling water in 30 minutes. Black Currant Jam Required, 3 lb. black currants, 5 cups water, 6 lb. sugar. Wash currants and put in the preserving pan with the 5 cupfuls of water. Boil for one hour. Put sugar to warm, and at the end of the hour's^ boiling add the warmed sugar to the boiling fruit and boil hard for five minutes. Pour into pots and cover. Advantages over old method: (1) A clean, wholesome jam, com- pletely devoid of leathery skins. (2) Ease of making; it is only neces- sary to stir when adding the sugar. (3) Economical. This quantity makes 11 lb. jam. Cookies Here are four recipes of the ever- popular cookie; Rich Cookies One-half cup butter, 1-3 cup sugar, 1 egg,, well beaten. % cup flour, Ms teaspoon vanilla, raisins, nuts or cit- ron. Cream butter, add sugar gradually, egg, flour and vanilla. Drop from tip of spoon iu small portions on buttered sheet two inches apart. Spread thinly with knife first dipped in cold water. Put four raisins on each cookie, al- monds blanched and cut iu strips, or citron cut in small pieces. Marguerites Two eggs, 1 cup brown sugar. Va cup flour, 14 teaspoon baking powder, 1-3 teaspoon salt, 1 cup pecan nut meats or walnuts cut in small pieces. Beat eggs slightly and add remain- ing ingredients in the order given. Fill small buttered tins two-thirds full of mixture and place pecan nut on each. Bake in moderate oven 15 min- utes. Ginger Snaps One cup molasses, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup butter, 1 teaspoon cinna- mon, 1 teaspoon ginger, 1 teaspoon soda. Boil together 8 minutes. Let cool, then add suflicient flour to roll thin. Cut into cookies and bake in moderate oven. Brandy Snaps Three-quarters lb. brown sugar, % lb. butter, *i cup molasses, enough flour to stiffen (about 1 cup). Drop a little off the end of a spoon (some dis- tance apart, because they run.) Cut them apart before they get too cool and curl on a round stick.

Vancouver Daily Asserts Man is Gambling Animal "A gamble from his birth on, by force of necessity, and compelled to gamble with the weather, with acci- dent, with disease, with life and death and with business, is it any wonder that man acquires the habit, and whether for small stakes or great, puts his big or little coin on land or cattle or stocks or commodities or exchange, or on whatever horse has an attrac- tive name or whatever card or color takes his fancy," asks the Vancouver Province. "He is, whether he likes It or not, and whatever he may choose Canadian Scientist Improves Television Super-eye of Ottawa Scientist Said to Perfect Radio Pictures Ottawa. â€" Invention of a "super eye," which it is claimed will make perfect television possible, revolutionize the speedy transmission of messages and action pictures, and multiply a thoua- and-told the power of telescopes, has been announced here. The inventor is Dr. Francois C. Henroteau, head of the Astrophysical branch of the Do- minion Observatory here. Dr. Henroteau has been working for 10 years on an apparatus which he hoped would facilitate astral observa- tion. It is stated that application of the apparatus to television had not been contemplated until his research disclosed the possibilities iu that direc- tion. Use of the photo-electric cell la said to be the basis of the invention, which has been patented in the United States after a seiies of tests. The inventor was indisposed and could not be reached for further de- tails. Dr. Henroteau was the discover- er of the mysterious planet "Y," the planet discovered by the Lowell Ob- servatory In Arizona. â- mall pieces will cook much quicker J '" ^° about it, a gambling animal." International Boundary Ottawa, Canada.â€" The international boundary between Canada and the United States comes under the .'urls- dlction and administration of the In- ternational Boundary Commission, which is responsible for maintaining the boundary in a state of effective demarcation. The Commission con- sists of two Commissioners, one re- presenting Canada and one the Uni- ted State. Their duties Include the carrying into effect of the provisions of five international treaties.

Gjlden Text â€" A vi/oman that feareth Je- hovah, she shall be praised.â€" Prov. 31. 30. Timeâ€" Birth of SamOel, B.C. 1171. Placeâ€" Ramah. Shiloh. Subject â€" Devout Motherhood. Hannah's Prayer for a Son, 1 Sam. 1: 1-18. The Book.s of Samuel. The two Books of Samuel were originally one work, as were the two Bnokt; of Kings. They are named after the great first prophet, second only to Moses in the history of Israel, the second founder of the natioa. An Unhappy Hou.sehold. Samuel's father was Elkanah, who was a mem- ber of the tribe of Levi, to which was assigned the carj of the tabernacle at Shiloh. He was a devout and kind man, the noble father of a noble son. Samuel's mother was Hannah, one of the great women of the Bible. Her name, which is the same as Anna, the prophetess of the New Testament, has the appropriate meaning of "Grace."' Samuel could have had no better par- ents, and a man's parents have much to do with his making. Hannah's Vow "So Hannah rose up after they had eaten in Shiloh, and after they had drunk." Hannah could not endure to remain at the teast, and quietly arose and went off by herself to pray. "Now Eli the prie.st.' He was the high -priest at tne time and served also as judge of the people. "Was sitting upon his seat by the doorpost of the temple of Jehovah. The .sanctuary Itself was â- so encased with buildings as to give It the name and appearance of a house 0- temple. Here Eli sat on days of religious or political solemnity, and surveyed the worshippers as they came up the eminence on which the .sanctuary was placed. "And she was in bitterness of ,oul, and prayed unto Jehovah, and wept sore." "And she vowed a v^w." The vow was very common in Hebrew religion. If thou wilt indeed look on the afflic- tion of th;- handmaid." Look on with compassion and in mercy. "And re- member me, a.id not forget thy hand- maid." As W3 go to God in prayer we may go in the happy certainty that the Lord never forgets us. "But wilt give unto thy handmaid a man-child " We see Hannah's humllitv in that she calls herself thrice the Lord's serva.it and slave. We note in this prayer also the low esteem in which girls were held in comparison with bovs. "Then I will give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life." The boy shall be de- voted to life-long .service, and :iot only for a certain number cf years, like the Levite Elkanah. "And thera shall no razor come upon his head." Lastly, no razor might come upon his head, the free-growing hair being at once the distinctive mark by which all men would recognize his sacred calling. The Birth of Samuel. In due time Hannah's prayer was answered, Eli's prophecy was fulfilled, and ' man- child was born to Elkanah and Han- nah. Samuel Taken To Shiloh. "And when she had weaned him, she took him up with her." Probablv at the great annual passover feajt. "And brought hiin unto the house of Je- hovah in Shiloh." As it was more than three centuries since the con- struction of the tabernacle, the orig- inal tent must have been renewed many times since the days of Moses. "AaC the child was young" Just how .voung Samuel was at this time we are not told, but he was old enough to help Eli in the care of the tabernacle. "And they slew the bullock and brought the child to Eli." There were three bullocks, but this is the one spe- cially used in the dedication of Sam- uel. "And she said. Oh, my lord, as thy soul liveth, my lord. I am the woman that stood by thee here, praying unto Jehovah." The incident, so important to Hannah's life, was sufficiently strik- ing for Eli to be expected to recall it. "For this child I prayed; and Je- hovah I'ath given me my petition which I asked of him." How few of our prayers really make an impres- si..i upon us! How, then, can we ex- pect them to make anv impression on God? "Therefore also I have granted him J Jehovah." What God has given us, God has a right to, "As long as he liveth he is granted to Jehovah." Only a mother can understand the depth of Hannah's sacrifice. "And he wor- shipped Jehovah there." He, that is, the boy Samuel, thus putting his own child-seal to his mother's gift of him- self to (Jod. "And Hannah prayed, and said." At the close of the dedication, Han- nah, instead of cryii.g, broke forth into a joyous ode. "My heart exulteth in Jehovah." Character is most clear- ly disclosed. "My horn is exalted in Jehovah." It is the same as saying, My strength comes from the LorJ. •My moutli is enlarged over mine ene- mies." Hannah is no longer doomed to shamed silence when taunted with childlessness. "Because I rejoice in thy salvation." Hannul had been sav- ed from her misery, had been helped out of persecution. "There is none Iioly as Jehovah." Hannah is grateful. "For there is none besides thee. Neither is there any rock like our ^d." He is the foundation of all things, like the rock- basis of the earth. Wrinkles in Suits Men's Fashion Note Also Buttonless Overcoats Predicted by Designers For Fall Chicago. â€" Wrinkles are the latest wrinkle in men's suits. A "boon to bachelors," overcoats sans buttons, and, of course, button- holes, will be taken up enthusiastical- ly by the well-dressed boulevardier this Fall. Men aren't such "saratorlal simps" as they used to be. So spake the experts who design clothes for the men of all nations, gathered here for the convention of the International Clothing Designers' Association. George E. Serak, president of the Chicago Club of Clothing Designers, acted as spokesman for the associa- tion's style committee which conferred and discussed present trends and made a few predictions about Autumn fas- hions. The wrinkles in suit coats, he ex- plained, aren't just ordinary onesâ€" not the kind appearing on clothes that have no alliances with the pressing iron. They are vertical and achieved by the easy cut and drape of the cut. They are on the front of the coat, just inside the shoulders, replacing the former "boilerplate" effect. The buttonless overcoat has some- what the free and easy lines of a bed sheet. It is fastened about the middle with a belt tied like a rope and any knot will do. Wedding Consent Federal Matter Alberta Court Rules Province is Without Jurisdiction Edmonton.â€" Alberta Court of Appeal has ruled any girl over 12 and any boy over 14 years of age may marry with- out their parents' consent as far as provincial laws are concerned. It de- clared such cases are exclusively under Dominion Government control. The judgment was handed down here during appeal court sittings and followed bearing of a case in which a mother attempted to have the mar- Influx of Tourists To Visit Canada Dominion Exhibi' at Chicago Attracting 15,000 Persons Daily Canada is expected to entertain at great or possibly a greater number o( tourist visitors this Summer than last year. This optimistic forecast wai made by the publicity branch of thi Di'liarlment of Trade and Commerce. "Residents of Eastern United Statuj who are motoring to the Century ui Progress Exposition at Chicago are r* ported to be mostly visiting Soulherq Oiilario en route," the statement d* clured. The Canadian GovernmenJ stand at the Exposition is being visit- ed by an average of 15,000 person* daily and enquiries as to tourist po» sibillties in Canada indicate a possibia great influx of tourists. "The increasing wave of economia optimism in the United States is also expected to be reflected iu an iu. creased number of vacationists visit Ing Canada," according to the stat» ment. "In New Brunswick touristi inquiries received at the Provincial Government information bureau hav« been greater this season than ever b» fore. In Quebec the tourist traflJc pre. vious to June 15 was nearly as greal as last year. A greatly augmented volume of United States automobile! is expected to enter Ontario as th« season progresses. At Sault Ste.

New Body Design For Bluebird Sir Malcolm Campbell Experi- menting with New Style to Boost Speed Mark Daytona Beach Fla. â€" Experiment! with two new body designs for his r* cord-holding Blue Bird racing car an being made by Sir Malcolm Campbell of England with a view to boosting the land speed mark. In a letter to L. Warren Baker. Florida representative of the Amert can Automobile Association, the 4- year-old driver told of proposed altera- tions he plans for the big machine, which he hopes will enable him to at- tain a five-mile a minute clip. Campbell, who has been blazing « trail of automobile speed records for the past quarter of a century, hung uj the present mark of 272 miles an hour m trials here early this year.

" It is most interesting news, and I am delighted to learn of it," declared Hon. S. L. Howe, Minister of Mines. "Anything that will raise the price of silver will be of assistance to our min- ing industry." "It is good news," assured S. G.
