Grandmothers Disp Talent to Outclass Granddads Clarksburg, March 5.--~Afterha If a century of busy home life, training their children and grandchildren, 41 grandmothers Monday night answer- ed the challenge of the grandfathers to stage a concert. The grandmoth- ers represented pioneer families of the district, and showed a surprising array of talent. The community hall was crowded an hour before the op- ening time. The artists, who were dressed in costumes of the early fif- ties, hoops and bustles, also were a- dorn with treasured cashmere shawls that had crossed the ocean with their mothers. Old-fashioned lace caps, with curls peeping out the side, were also int evidence. Great-grandmother Leavens welcomed the audience, while Grandmother Mrs, Charles Ferguson deftly spun at her wheel. Among the other grandmothers on the paltform were: Mesdames Tho- mas Hoggard, George and Thomas Mitchell, Oliver Dobson, W. J. Lougheed, Alex McGowan, J. W. Hutchison, John Wheatley, Levi Payne, R. Kirby and two great- grandmothers, Mrs. Thomas Idle and Mrs. M. Andrus. Dances familiar to the early settlers were capably dem- onstrated, and songs, recitations and dialogues recalled early courtships, A 10-picce women's orchestra played for the dancers. Some weeks ago grandfathers of the district display- ed talent at a concert, but the concert honors went to the women. sree -- GOVERNOR APOLOGIZES New Orleans, La., March 5.--A formal apology by Governor H. P. Long of Louisiana to Commander Von Arnauld de la Plerre of the German cruiser Emden has ended a-24-hour diplomatic crisis which resulted from the Governor's choice of a pair of green silk pyjamas as attire in which to receive a call from the commander and his staff, A red and blue dressing gown and blue bedroom slippers completed the Governor's attire. The German naval officers came attired in dress uniforms. "The Governor's raiment was an | insuit,"" Commander de la Pierre asserted after the reception. The Emden would weigh anchor and steam out of the port unless an apology were offered, he asserted. Governor Long hastily borrowed articles of formal morning attire from friends though he could not manage a silk topper. The harbor boat was ordered and he returned the commander's call and presented his apologies. The Governor ex- plained he came from a mountain district and was not versed in the niceties of diplomatic procedure. He had treated the representatives of the naval forces of the German republic "just like folks' and wae surprised they had resented it. "I wore the $35 lounging robe given me by the State Banking Department for Christmas--what more did they want?" he asked a friend. ALL OVER : The colored man went for a ride in an aeroplane. When he came down he said to the pilot, 'Thank you guv-nor, for dem two rides." "Two rides?" said the ""aviator. "You've only had one!™ "No," said the colored man, Ma first and ma last!" "two. Your memory may be poor and yet Some things there are you can't forget. Peter Rabbit. ' Curiosity is a most provoking thing. It will not let you forget when you want to forget. Peter Rabbit never went over to the Green Forest. that he didn't remember what Whitefoot the Wood Mouse had told him about his winter home. Just the sight of the edge of the Green Forest would remind Peter of Whitefoot's secret and immediately arouse Peter's curio- sity. He wasted a lot of time hunt- ing for that home of Whitefoot's. Sometimes he 'saw Whitefoot, but more often he didn't. When he did see Whitefoot it was always near the place where he had met Whitefoot when the lattér had told him about that home: Now, many pairs of eyes are bet- ter than just one pair. At least, that is what Peter Rabbit thought, "If I can't find Whitefoot's, home my- selfe, perhaps some one else ean" said he. "The thing to do is to ask questions." . The first one Peter asked was his cousin, Jumper the Hare, who lives in the Green Forest,. "Cousin Jumper," said Peter, "do you happen to know where Whitefoot the Wood Mouse is living this winter?" . Jumper scratched a long ear with a long hindfoot. "No, I don't, Peter," said he. "Now 'you mention the mat- ter, it occurs to me that I haven't seen Whitefoot all winter. 1 do hope nothing has happened to him. T am rather fond of the little fellow." "I can set your mind at rest on that score," said Peter! "Nothing has happened to him. Anyway, nothing had happened to him up to a few nights ago, for I saw him then. He was ovep on the very edge of the Green rest." Sh "That explains it," said Jumper, "T very seldom gp over to the edge of the Green Forest. It must be that he "as moved over there." "Do you think so?" cried Peter, "1 hadn't thought of that. I have always thought of Whitefoot as living in the Green Forest, #0 I supposed he had he te rn Peter Cannot Forget By Thornton W. Burgess EE a a i a I i ia simply wandered a long way from home." "You may be certain he hasn't done that," replied Jumper. "Whitefoot never wanders very far from his home. You may be sure that his home is not a great way from where you saw him. I am glad to know that he is alive and all right." "Oh, he was very much alive and quite all right when I last saw him," said Peter. "He was looking unusual- ly well. And he told me that he has The first one Peter asked was his cousin, Jumper the Hare one of the best homes he has ever had." "Didn't he tell you where it is? Or didn't you ask him?" inquired Jump- er. "Oh, I asked. him all right," re- plied Peter, "but he wouldn't give me so much as a hint, I suppose it must be in a stump, or under a stump, or in a hollow log, or in some old home of Drummer the Woodpecker. I shall have a good look over there now." "It may be under ground, you know," said Jumper. "Sometimes Whitefoot makes his home under ground. «Copyright, 1930, T. W.

PANCAKE 1UESDAY--JUST A RELIC How many of the millions of peo- ple who ate pancakes yesterady know why they partake of them on Shrove Tuesday or anything about the history of them? In England, Shrove Tuesday is the Feast of Pancakes. ' On this day be- fore Lent every one's thoughts turn kindly to the light and dainty entre- met that looks so simple, yet re- quire great skill to prepare and more to cook. The pancake is really a relic of un- leavened bread. It is the old shriv- ing cake, and is typical of Lent. Four symbolic ingredients were used--salt, as representing the health-giving principle; flour, signifying the staff of life; milk, as a token of inno- cence; eggs, the staple food of Lent, This compound of four typifies four corners of a square--Careme, the French word for Lent, expresses it exactly. The fat used in frying, too, was specified, Housewives had to save enough grease wherewith to fry their cakes, trom chops or cutlets, eaten on Collop Monday, thé day before Shrove Tuesday; and as it was con- sidered unlucky to use any other, the good housewives spared no exer tion in obtaining the fattest cutlets possible and in carefully draining off the grease, Pancake bells in the old- en times used to toll on Shriving Day in England to tell people to prepare their batter and fry their cakes which were eaten before mid- day. In the afternoon or evening every one went to church to be shriven or absolved from their sins, In the Middle Ages the original pancakes were caten hot from the pan and with only salt to give them savour, Nowadays--under the relax- ed rule of Mother Churth--they. can be enjoyed with sugar, honey, Jam, lemon juice or golden syrup. At Westminster School, "tossing the pancake" is a good old custom which still .urvives. The school chef at the appointed time and place ap- pears before the assembled boys with frying pan in hand, and tosses the cake it contains high aloft over the heads of the scholars. The boy who secures the largest fragment in the ensuing scramble pockets a guinea. In Italy, pancakes are Easter fare, and the housewife there starts mak- ing them some days ahead, so as tos have them ready for Easter Saturday and Easter Sunday tea or coffee. Neighbors and friends visit each other to taste (and test) the respec- tive makes, comparing them, men- tally, with their own. Each child has a little pancake, in, fancy shape, to his or herself. The confectioners' - windows in Italy are replete with pancakes just before Easter as ours are with Good Friday buns, Pancakes must be made. and {ried quickly. All ingredients should be prepared and stand ready before the cpoking process is started--the milk warmed, the cggs lightly whisked or beaten, and the fat, preferably lard of pure flavor, just simmering in the pan. The batter should be periectiy smooth, 'a state obtained by gradual addition to the milk during the mix- ing and be smartly beaten just be- | fore frying.
