' Woman* s World By MAIR M. MORGAN 'A Woman'* Placo !• In th) Home.* V;;:= li/ A Satisfying Salad Oftentimes a green salad does not Batisfy the demands of hungry men. A. inscaroui salad, however, la hearty enough as a main di;jh as it supplies the necessary starch. The cooking ot macaroni tor salads la most important because there must not be the slightest trace of stickiness. Drop macaroni into plenty ot boiling ivater â€" 3 quarts and 1 tablespoon salt to 2 cups macaroni are good propor- tionsâ€" and boil until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain it well and rinse with cold water. Chill and have all the other materials cold, too, before com- bining them. Macaroni and Egg Salad One cup cooked macaroni, 2 hard cooked eggs, ^ cup diced celery, 4 tablespoons sliced stuffed olives, salad dressing, shredded leaf lettuce. You may use broken stick macaroni, elbow, shell, bow.fcnot or any shape you may choose. Chop eggs and combine with macar- oni, celery and olives. Add salad dress- ing to make moist and serve on a bed ot shredded leaf lettuce. Garnish with halves ot stuffed olives. Use oli.res stuffed with pimentoes. Macaroni and Ham Salad .... This salad is especially good served on a bed of shredded new cabbage. One cup cooked and chilled macar- oni, 1 cup chopped cold boiled ham, 1 tablespoon prepared horseradish, 2 pimentoes, 1 cup salad dressing (may- onnaise or cooked dressing), shredded cabbage. Mix horseradish and ham and com- bine lightly with macaroni and pimen- toeo which have been cut in shreds. Moisten with dressing and serve on a bed of shredded cabbage sprinkled witii French dressing. Macaroni Fruit Salad One cup cooked macaroni, 1 cup canned diced pineapple, 2 bananas thinly sliced and marinated in lemon Juice, 1 cup whipping cream, i-i cup pineapple juice, ^ cup lemon juice, 1-3 cup sugar, 2 tablespoons corn- starch, 14 teaspoon salt. Mix sugar and cornstarch thorough- ly and stir into boiling pineapple juice. Cook in double boiler for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lomon juice and let cool. When ready to use fold in cream whipped until firm with salt. Add macaroni, pineapple, bananas to dressing and serve on lettuce hearts with a garnish ot fresh strawberries. It strawberries are not at hand a cube ot bright jelly will serve as an attrac- tive garnish. Cucumber ScHip For something diffe.-ent and very flavorsome try this recipe: 'Take a cucumberâ€" an average sized one would make soup for four to live people â€" cut it in thin slices and toss these in butter for two or three min- utes. Treat in" the same manner two small onions cut flnel.v. Put both vegetables in a pan and pour in clear soup or plain boiling water if you want to be economical or to have a "maigre" soup, allowing as usual for reduction. Season with salt. pepper, very little nutmeg, and a pinch ot cayenne popper. Brftig to the boil and let it simmer for halt an hour. At the last minute add two yolks ot egg diluted in a little cream. Serve soup with croutons. A Fashion Note Nasturtiums are coming up. not only in sunny gardens but in evening dress- es to wear in the moonlight. Nastur- tium colors, at least. The whole na- sturtium range from yellow to red is used for color contrast especially on brown mousseline dresses and on pas- tel gre^Mi and yellow ones. They make smart cire ribbon belts and flow- ers at the waistline. Ombre (or shaded) nasturtium tones »re seen in capes, flowers and in new negligee and hostess gowns. When Buying Vegetables The custom ot selling fruits and Tcgetablcs by the pound is becoming popular. "Bunches" and 'baskets" are as variable as th« "teacupsful " and the "flve-cents-worth" of the past and it iff oniy when a common unit of mca- â- urement is appliinl to ttuits and vesre- tables that prices and quality are easily comparable. Keep This List The following list will help the housewife in caculatlng the amounts needed when purchasing vegetables by the pound: One pound ot asparagus will serve three persons. â-  One pound of green beans (about one quart), four persons. One pound ot shelled lima beans (less than a quart), four persons. One pound of beets (about five medium sized beets), four persona. A medium sized head ot solid cab- bage weighs about three pounds and serves seven persons. One pound of brussels sprouts, six persons. One pound broccoli, four persons. One medium-sized, well trimmed head of cauliflower weighs about one and one-half pounds and will serve four persona. Four rather small tombatoes weigh one pound and will serve four per- sons. One pound of rhubarb, after being stewed will serve three persons. One i>ound ot fresh spinach, three persons. One pound of peas in the pod (about one quart) yields about one cup, shelled. Allow two pounds for four persons. One pound of mushrooms will serve six persona if the mushroom* are served on toast. Three or four potatoes weigh one pound. One peck of potatoes weighs fifteen pounds. Savoury Sandwiches Cut thin slices of brown and white bread and butter, and spread the brown pieces with cream cheese. Stone and crop some olives uud mix with some chopped pickled gherkin and a few chopped capers. Mix with a cream salad dresing and spread on the white slices. Then put a brown and white slice together, press firmly and cut neatly. Stocking Saver If you are one of those women who always wear their stockings out first at the toes, where the sheer joins the foot, before you wear new stockings at all, run a tew reinforcing threads back and forth across those spots. If you wear them out at the heels, turn your new hosiery wrong side out and stitch through some reinforcing threads. Useful Hint To separate tumblers which have become stuck together, pour cold water into the inner tumbler, then stand the outer glass in a bowl of warm water. The inner glass will con- tract and the outer one expand, so that they can be separated easily. Household Kinks To remove fresh fruit stains from dresses, aprons, napkins, tablecloths, put the material over a bowl and pour boiling water over the spots, holding the kettle high. It your salt will not shake freely on a damp day, a little rice or corn- starch mixed in the salt will eliminate this particular difficulty. Yellow turnips, peaa and carrots taste better if sugar is added to them while cooking. Soak salt fish in sour milk and the delicate flavor will be brought out. .\ pinch of soda placed in spinach while it is cooking will preserve its color. When baking a pie shell without anything inside, be sure to prick it well with a fork so that it has air holes in it. Otherwise it will shrink and crack. $500 Chow is Seized as Security for Rent Montreal. â€" John Arena of Montreal did not pay his rent so his landlady took a lien on his $500 chow dog as a first mortgage. Arena laid a com- plaint for theft, but agreed to with- draw the charge if the dog were re- turned to him. His offer was refused, and a trial was set for the end of the month. June 11. Lesson XI. â€" Jesus on the Cross.â€" Mark 15: 1-47. Golden Text â€" God commendeth his own love toward us, in that, while we wsre yet sinners, Christ died for us. â€" Rom. 5:8. I. THE MOCKING OF THE SAVIOCR, VS. 1-32. II. THE SUFFERI.N-GS OF THE SAVIOUR VS. 33-36. III. THE *E.\TH OF THE SAVIOUB, VS. 37-47. r. THE MOCKING OF THE S.VVXOLB, VS 1-32. The Trials of Jesus. The trial of Jesus was rushed through in a single sitting of the Sanhedrin on Friday momingr, whereas the law forbade the trial of a man and the condemning hmi to death on a single day. Xo at- tention was paid to the rules of evi- dence. No opportunity waa given for the presentation of the case in favor of the prisoner. The Sanhedrin had determined that Jesus should be put to death, and they rode rough-shod over all their rules. The trial has fittingly been called "the Ij-nching of Jesus," The Title on the Cross. 22. "And they bring him unto the place (3ol- gotha. Which is. being interpreted. The place of a skull. "Golgotha" is .A.ramaic and "Calvary" Latin for "a skull." Seen from a distan- e, the hill looks exactly like a skull â€" empty eye- sockets, rounded forehead, lines of ehe nose and mouth. 23. "And they offered him wine mingled with myrrh: but he received I it not." It was a custom of the Jews to give those condemned to crucifixion, with a view to producing stupefaction, a strong aromatid wine. 24. "And they crucify him." The cross on the ground, the \-ictim was stretched naked upon it, his hands were nailed to the arms of the cross, and his feet, one on top of the other, were nailed to the foot of it. A \TOod- en peg in the centre partially sup- ported the body, which mainly hung from the wounds in the hands and feet. Christians should never forget what their Saviour went through for their sake. ".-Vnd part his garments among them, casting lots upon them, what each should take." Four sol- diers and a centurion that guarded each of the condemned had fi/r their perquisites the garments of the cruci- fied. They were great gamblers and dice were at hand. So they cast lots, thus fiulfilling the Messianic Ps. 22:18. 25. "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him." This would be nine o'clock in the morning, according to the Jewish mode of reckoning, which began at sunrise, or 6 a.m. 2G. "And the superscription of his accusation was written over, THE KING OF THE JEWS." The con- demned was required to go to the place of execution with a board hung from his neck bearing the name of tlie crime for which he had been convicted. 27. ".\nd with him they crucify two robbers: one on his right hand, and one on his left." As if to say that Jesus was no better than those rob- bers. . ^ 29. ".A.nd they that passed by raile<l on him, wagging their heads." The cross stood beside the main highway northward, thronged always, and espe- cially at this pasSDver season, with a motley crowd. ".A.nd saying. Hal thou that destroyest the temple, and build- est it in three days." It seemed a fine jest with which to taunt the Sufferer. 30. "Save thys^. and come down from the cross." In his refusal to come down from the cross, and thus, as they said, display a proof of his Messiahship, he gave to the world a more convincing proof than this could possibly have been. 31. "In like manner also the chief priests mocking him among themselves with the scribes." The religious rul- ers of the Jews, the august members of the Sanhetirin, joined their taunts with those of the rabble. "Said, He saved others; himself he cannot save." Never was a truer word spoken in jest. Christ did indeed save others, and how gloriously ! II. THE SUFFERINGS OK THE SAVIOUR, vs. 33-36. The Three Hours of Darkness. 33. "And when the sixth hour was come." That would be noon, after Jesus had hung on the cross for three hours. '"There was liarkness over the whole land until the ninth hour." That wouM be -three p.m., the hour of the daily evening sacrifice, the crucifixion hav- ing begun at the hour of daily moni- ing sacrifice. The Climax of Agony. 34. "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice." Showing that his physical energies were still far fix>m exhausted. "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" Speaking in the Aramaic or common form of Hebrew, which was his ordi- nary language. "Which is, being in- terpreted, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" 35. "And some of them that stood by, when they heard it, said, B«hold. he calleth Elijah." Christ called "Eloi," but they thought he called 'Elias," seeking for help from the spirit of the great Hebrew prophet who had talked with him, about his coming death on the Mount of Trans- I'guration. 36. *.\nd one ran. .\nd filling a .sponge full of vinegar." The sour wine and water called "posca," a cask of which was placed there for the re- freshment of the Roman soldiers. "Put it on a reed and gave him to drink." There is one voluntary act of kindness in the story of Christ's Passion. "Say- ing, Let be; let us see whether Elijah cometh to take him down." The Seven Words From thj Cross. 1. The word of forgiveness, "Father, forgive then; for they know not what they do" (probably uttered in the first cruel moment of crucifixion). 2. The word to the p>enitent robber, "Today shalt thou be with ine in par- adise." 3. The word of personal affection (committing his mother Mary to the care of his beloved apostle John), "Woman, behold thy son! . . . Behold thy mother." 4. The word of spiritual suffering, "My God, my God, why has thou for- saken me?" 5. The word of physical suffering, "I thirst." 6. The word of completion: "It is finished." 7. The word of submittal: "Father. | into thy hands I commend my spirit." III. THE DE.4TH OF THE SAVIOUR, VS. 37-47. The Shout of Triumph. 37. "And Jesus uttered a loud voice, and gave up the ghckst." Evon after our Lord had hung upon the cross for six hours, his body was still strong enough to cry with a loud voice "It is finished!" It was a victorious shout. He knew that he had accomplished the conquest of sin which he came to accomplish. 38. "And the veil of the temple was rent in two from the top to the bot- tom." This was the wonderful curtain between the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place, a curtain sixty feet long and thirty feet wide and as thick as the palm of the hand. Tiie C-ent'Tion's Testimony. 39. "And when the centurion who stood by over against him saw that " a gave up the ghost he said. Truly this r-an was t!ie Son of God." The Burial of Jesus. Two members of the Sanhedrin, who had not voted to sentence Jesus to death, one Nicode- n.us, who, early in Christ's ministry, had come to our Lord by night and had the wonderful interview with him rec- cided in John 3. The tther Joseph of Arimathaea a man of wealth who had a newly exca%-ated tomb in a garden near Calvary, rendered the last ser- vice, saving the Saviour's body from the public refuse heap, which was the lot of crucified crimirials. It was a costly undertaking, for not only were the s. ilchre and cerements needed, but P ..e had an evil reputation for greed. le errand proved ejsier than they ha.a anticipated : Pilate's sin rest- ed hea\'y on his conscience, and he "made a free gift" of our Lord's body. Thus on the evening of Good Friday the form of the Saviour wa.> reverent- ly laid away as had been prophesied, "with a rich man in his death"' (.Isa. 53: 9). aWITHJHE -A LONrSCOUTS «Sfc5^ \ '^ Visits Canada to Study Canadian Exhibition Methods Claude Taylor, Chief of the Exhibi- tions Branch.

The Forestry Camp Oa Saturday, May 20, nearly one hundred Scouts from all parts of this province gathered at the Government Seed Extracting Station at Angus, On- tario, for the fourth Forestry Camp. This camp Is sponsored by the For- estry Branch of the Department of Lands and Forests, to encourage the Scouts to take an interest In refores- tation work, and has proved to be a very popular event around the 2Uh May week end. The camp was located In beautiful surroundings in the Angus Community Park, and was full of interesting ac- tivity from start to finish. Sunday morning was commenced with a ""Scouts' Own" church service, conducted by the United Church minis- ter from the village, and In the after- noon the boys went for a hike around the Government property. An Indoor campfire was held in the evening, when stories were told and lantern slides shown, of the forestation work. Monday and Tuesday mornings were spent in actual tree planting on a piece of barren ground which is known as the ""Boy Scout Forest." and which it is eventually hoped will develop in- to a beautfuUy wooded camping ground for Scouts. This is situated at the junction of the Notawasaga and Pice Rivers. On Monday afternoon a trip was taken by car and lorry to the Mid- hurst Government Nurseries, where the Scouts were shown the small trees in their actual development, from smaii seetiiiugs to good sited trees. The evenings were spent at Indooi Camp fires in the spacious ""Commiia ity Hall, " where songs were sung wltl great "pep," stories told and moviei shown. The Lone Scouts were represented by three members from .\lliston, and by three ex-Lonles, now members 01 tl:e lat Unionville Troop. The camp broke up at noon on 77ed- nesday, after a very enjoyable time, and all present expressed their ajK preciation of the splendid co-operatioa and kindness of the Department and of the Angus staff, for making this camp possible. Each Scout was presented with 1 souvenir book on Forest Trees, ilAjm the Minister of L^nds and Forests, and also a badge, in the shape of three wooden beads, strung together with busk-skin, and inscribed '"Angus, 1333," to be worn on their uniform.
