They were famous for their quick breadsâ€" tjn.ler, flaky biscuits and delicious rrlla Many people believed that Old Mammy never measured the ingredi- ents but carelessly threw them to- fether and, by some magic, got re- sults. But they were wrong. Mam- my was an experienced cook â€" she al- ways measured but she used her hand Instead of a mea.^uring cup and she was never careleHS about ingredients. She knew that T.our was the basis of food quick breads and cakes and she always insisted on the most finely milled flour she could get. Now Mammy's magic cooking has been modernized for everyone so that tb« newest bride can make biscuils that suggest Southern hospitality.

Room 421, 73 West Adelaide Street, Toronto. Just Around The Corner When with your wife and family on a little pleasure bent, And you hear the children laughing, with their glee the air Is rent, Whilo you roll along at twenty and you all ejijoy the trip. And you think there Is no danger but from me you take a tip. When with your wife you're chatting and It seems so good to live, And have the little pleasure your car to you can give, But Just around the corner and hard- ly yet In sight A road hog speeds along your lane and hugs the shoulder tight. He hits the middle of the road then swings upon your side. Just a-burnlng up the pavement wittj the throttle open wide, For a road hog's speed l6 seventy, nothing less will satisfy, You have a moment for to act or perhaps you all will die. When scarce three lengths In front of you he swings to miss your car His car which is a heavy one will hardly feel the Jar, But when he hits your running board your car will gi.ve a hitch In spite of all that you can do you land Into the ditch. The road hog never looks around and hardly bats an eye, He's thinking only of himself, he don't care If you die. He will not stop to help yoH nor his assistance lend. But steps still harder on the gas and hlde.s around a bend. You are safer in the Jungle where the lions prowl and roar Than you are upon the pavement that runs smoothly by your door, With all the road hog nuisance that endangers life and limb Lt would bo a public kindness to rid this world of him. Keep a sharp lookout for road hogs- when out upon a trek You can ahvay.s recognize one by the bristles on his neck, If speeding down the highway by chance one you should spy Drive your car clear off the pavement and let the brute go by. Now there are many road hogs on the highway I am told nut they will never speed their cars where sireet.s are paved with gold. Then where will earthly road hogs go when they no longer dwell. There Is no room for such in Heaven. they have a place In Well? (Your guess Is as good as mine) - M.R.R. Walla Walla, Wash.

Homecoming (Giirett Oppenhelm In the New York Sun) Let us go \>y the kitchen door And the back stairs Lightly to the top floor Where the dim years Ue Btored In the attic. There's a bottle of old wine, And a broken rafter. And a ball of red twine, And a sound of laughter. Echoing, enigmatic. We will make no sound Moving there together. Though dead leaves rustle on the ground, This Is Spring weather. Remembering, enraptured. There's an old moonbeam At the top landing And there, like a child's dream. An old clock still standing. Telling forever one moment forever captured. Australia's "Wandering Jew," Mr. Philip Lewis, during his thirty-seven years of evangelism has travelled 276,000 miles, walked 76,000 miles, worn out 200 pairs of boots, read the bible fifty one times. Need We Fear By John O'Ren in Baltimore Sun â€" Those who are anxious over some "new trend" in the colleges and un- dergraduate thought ought to look at the retults of the Princeton poll of the senior class. The favorite poems, in one-two-three order, are Kipling's "If" (of course!), Gray's "Elegy" and Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach." The favorite novelist is Dickens; the favorite dramatist is Shakespeare; the favorite book is "A Tale of Two Cities." And the only concessions â€" if they may be called that â€" to the one- time spirit of the age are made in behalf of Masefield, whose poetry ranks fourth after Arnold, and "An- thony Adverse," which takes second- place among the novels, and "Ah Wilderness," a favorite play which is, by the by, fuH of nostalgia for dear days of '08. Could One ask, in this year of 1930, for a more astonishng com- ment upon the tastes and mental habits of the und-'rgraduates of rather a gay college.

B. S. Haldane. W.F. Urges More Beauty In Farm Premises As one motors through Ontario, and especially Kastern and Central Ontario, one i.s ol'tfn struck with the forlorn und even dismal appearance of many farms, observes the Kingston Whig-Standard. The house and barns are unpalnted, the barnyard is a quagmiro and no attempt has been made to have a lawn or flower garden The exceptional farm where an at- tempt has been made to beautify the home surroundlnKS stands out as a brlRht spot and makes the others look even worse by contrast There are mitigating circumstanc- es for the Tinlovely appearance of the terms, and thoy are very strong, and chief among them being lack of cash to expend on what is considered a luxury rather than a necessity. Then, too, the farmer works long, weary hours at work which Is very like gar- dening, and he finds no recreation In dJKKiiir? flower beds and mowing lawns. His wife and children also work hard and as a result, only In the odd case does the farm home and Its aurroffndings receive the care and attention which they merit. But In spite of these very plaiuiible excuses, the WhlsStandard believes that a great deal could be done by the farmers of the district to beauti- fy their homo surroundings. Little wonder If the children want to leave homo and try their luck in the city when the homo is a dingy unattract- ive placo. If the home were pretty they would be more likely to remain on the land Farmers who cater to the tourist trade find that tourists choose the cleane.st and most attractive looking farm for their overnight stop. In this case a clean good-looking farmhouse pays golden dividends. But any far- mer and his wife will find a pretty garden plot around the house will re- compenso them many times over In the way It will lift their spirits and the pride It will give them In their own home. Improving the home surroundings on the farm need not be an expensive undertaking, necessarily. A little paint, some work, and a few cents worth of flower seeds will do wonders. Apart from the physical improvement the planning and the awakening of the spirit of improvement will do much for the souls and minds of the Inmates of those farm homes which will try the e.\periment. Mothers will feel more like enter- taining the Women's Institute; Dad will eye the place with a new pride of owneiship; son and daughter will feel that they and their home are every bit as good as their city friends and their home. It Is the spirit of not being satis- fled with things as they are that does make the world progress and If all ot the farmers of the Kingston district become so dissatisfied with their own home surroundings that they set to work to Improve them, they will be greatly enriched at the expense of a little bit of energy which perhaps Is expended now on a less useful enter- prise. Home beautification should not be the job of any one individual al- Gossip Town (Author Unknown) Have you ever heard of Goseip Towtl On the shore of Falsehood Bay.

In just an hour or so. The Thoughtless road is a popular route, And most folks start that way. But it's steep down grade; if yo» don't look out, You'll land in False hood Bay.

And home beautification is not a job that can be worked at a few days and then, left. It niu3t be worked at intensively, at first and then regularly during the Summer every year. w f -r « â- K Shirley Entertains An Overseas Visitor *#A;-'7*>*<-;-â„¢yw. - ^ Shirley Temple and Teru Kurusu, 10-year-old daughter of Saburo Kurusu, Japanese Ambassador to Belgium, have a great time together in Hollywood as Teru presents a Japanese doll to the young movie star.
