l'amulpais Potatoes
Tamalpais Potatoes. Doesn't the
very name make your mouth water?
This delicious dish, prepared from
left-over potatoes, is a favorite with
Mrs. Belle De Graf, San Francisco
home economics counsellor and writer.
Chop fine 3 eupS cold boiled potatoes.
Add 3-4 cup of cream, and salt
and pepper to taste. Pack very solidly
in buttered custard cups, or
muffin pans.' Set in a pan in a very
hot oven. Bake 30 minutes, or until
golden brown crust has formed which
will hold the potatoes together. Turn
out in individual molds.

Baker Potato "Tips"
Mrs. Sarah T. Rorer, Philadelphia
cooking expert, adds two or three artful
touches to baked potatoes which
make them taste unusually good.
"After scrubbing large, perfect potatoes,
I soak them an hour in cold
water," she says.?'. .. ;
"I bake them on the upper grate
of a medium oven, and turn them
after 20 ipinutes. I let them bake
another half hour, or until . they feel
soft when pressed in a napkin.
"Never try them with a foidc, for
this allows the steam to escape and
makes them heavy. Serve in a napkin
at once.
"The secret of good baked potatoes
is a slow oven; for a hot oven
hardens the skin at once and makes
the potatoes soggy."
* *
Stuffed and Browned
Miss Margaret Allen I^all, nutrition
expert atthe Battle >Oreek College
of Home Economics, has a decided
preference for stuffed potatoes
She fixes them like this:
(5 medium-sized potatoes
1-2 cup milk or cream
3 tablespoonfuls butter
1 teaspoon salt
Select well-shaped potatoes about
equal size. Bake until soft, then cut
or break each potato at about the
middle. Remove the contents, mash,
add salt, butter, and sufficient cream
or milk to cause the potato to beatup
light. When- very light, fill skins
with the seasoned potato, piling it
up in irregular shapes. Set .'the
stuffed potatoes in oven a few minutes
to brown.

ala Pittsburgh
Mrs. Kate Brew Vaughn, home
economics director, of Los Angeles,
teaches cooking tb 100,000 women
every year. Her Pittsburgh Potatoes

only cooked luncheon dish, she says.

recipe:

When to I'ne Salt
Underground vegetables, the r00^ J
or stems of plants, should be cooked j
in boiling unsnlted water. They con-j
tain a certain amount of weedy fiber)
which is hardened by salt. Salt them j
when ready to serve.
"Top ground vegetables, such as,
peas, beans, cabbages and onions, arc .
much better cooked in boiling, salted
water. Cooked thia way they retain
their color,' and their flavor if "ttlKit ified.

<'iliirl.-ston, May <J.-~Five Berkeley
county men are in Charleston jail as
the result of the homicides Saturday
afternoon at Monck's Corner, when
Sum J. McKnight and Jervey Mitchum
writ* killed and Ben Villeponteaux
was fatally wound^ ip the neck.
'1'he prisoners are: Jeremiah
"nght, Perry Wright, Jesse Murray.
Thaddous Villeponteaux und James
Anderson. .Jeremiah Wright was de
livcrtd to the sheriff of Charleston
county Saturday night and the other
foui were delivered this morning j
about 11:30 o'clock by Sheriff Ballentine
ol Berkeley. It is reported that
the Berkeley sheriff is looking for
Glennie Johnson.
Ben Villeponteaux was in the Riverside
infirmary here and tonight
died. It was reported that he underwent
an operation early this afternoon
but the hospital authorities appeared
reluctant to discuss it.
Edward J. Dennis, former state
senator from Berkeley county, was in I
town today and conferred with some!
of .the prisoners at the county jail.
No statement has come from any of
the prisoners, all of whom seem to be
easy in their minds, not bothering
about the outcome of the charges
against them. They have been com- J
mitted on warrants of Magistrate
Harvey of Berkeley county and were
brought into this county for safe- J
keeping. It is declared that feeling in J
Berkeley county is tense.
- While it is generally reported that
the homicides grew out of a raid Friday
by prohibition enforcement officers,
no statements have been avail-1
able. Friday five state agents and a
federal agent destroyed ten stills, 10,000
gallons of beer and 1,800 gallons
of cpm' whiskey in the Hell Hole
swamp region. They also seized two
motor vehicles, a coupe and a truck,
It is not established which group, if
either, was offended because of the
seizures.
The homicide occurred at the rail-1
read station at Monck's Corner, county
seat of Berkeley county. McKnight,
Mitchum and Johnson were
in one car when the Villeponteaux I
brothers, Anderson and Jeremiah
Wright drove up in another, a sedan.
The shooting is reported to have begun
immediately.
McKnight was shot in the back anX
breast with buckshot and was in- J
stantly killed. Mitchum, after being!
shot in the side and back, got out of I
the car and went about 300 yards before
he fell, dying a few minutes
j later. Johnson was unscathed. Ben
Villeponteaux was wounded in the
I neck and paralyzed.
According to Deputy Sheriff Woodward
of Berkeley county four empty
cartridges were taken from Mc- j
Knight's pistol and two from Mitch.um's.
Ben Villeponteaux and Jere- j
miah Wright had shotguns. Except
for cuts from glass Jeremiah Wright
Thaddeus Villeponteaux and Anderson
were unijured.
Solicitor James Allan went to
Monck's corner late Saturday afternoon
when reports of the homicides
reached him. It was also reported |
that one or more of the city police J
detectives also went to Monck's Cor-1
ner. An inquest will be held but the
date has not. been announced.
All the men involved in the affair
are well known in Berkeley county j
and it is said that all of them live in
the Cordesville and Huger neighbor- I
hood*. j
Death of Miss Nellie Corbett
Miss Nellie Corbett, the _ only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs, J. R.. Cor-I
bett, died at their home in the Hagood
section Saturday night, after an
illness of three weeks' duration. The
funeral services were held at , Be1
hesda church Sunday morning and}

J. E. Cook, assisted by Rev. Moultrie
Guerry. *
Miss Corbett is survived by her
parents, one brother, Virgil P. Corbettj
of Madison, Ga., and three
adopted brothers, Fred, Dewitt and
Clyde Clark.?Sumter Herald.
The Psycholologicl Moment.
Mr. Jones was no Napoleon, but his
tactics when a drink was in sight
were invariably sound.
On'one occasion as he was rushing
from his home, his wife asked:?
"Where are you going in such a I
hurry?"
"Over to Robinson's house," was
the reply. "He just telephoned to ask
if I could lend him a corkscrew, anil |
I'm taking it myself."
"Couldn't you send it?"
"My dear wife," said Mr. Jones in
incisive tones, "the question you ask
shows why most women are unfit to
lead armies or make decisions involving
millions in business deals. When
the psychological moment arrives
they don't know what to do with..it."

ALL OFFICERS RE ELECTED
Greenville Reunion Closed With
Grand Ball at Textile Hall
Greenville, May 6.?Unanimous reelection
of officers of the South Carolina
United Confederate Veterans' division
and the sinking of "When the
Roll Is Called Up Yonder" closed the
reunion of the organization here this
afternoon. Many veterans remained
in the city for the grand ball, which
was given .in their honor at headquarters,
the Textile hall, tonight,
however.
Officers renamed for this year include
Gen. 1). W. McLaurin, hf Co*
lumbia, commander; <ie?. N. (?.
Osteon of Sumter, commander of the
First brigade; Gen. W. II. Cely of
Greenville, commander of the Second
brigade; Gen. W. A. Clarke of Columbia,
chairman of the state Confederate
historical commission, and
General McLaurin, trustee of the
Southwide Memorial association.
General McLaurin immediately reappointed
his staff, which includes, in
part Col. J. B. Lewis of Anderson,
adjutant general; Alex McBee, Greenville,
major; J. D. Hardin, of Darlington,
lieutenant colonel; Gen. C. Irvine
Walker, of Charleston, honorary
commander of the U. C. V. of the
South; Capt. George W. Sirrine, member
of staff through virtue of his be'ing
commander of Camp Pulliam.
Because no invitations for next
year's convention has been placed in
the hands of the commander, the matter
of selecting another place of meeting
was deferred artd placed in the
hands of General McLaurin. He will
be open to invitations and announce
his decision at a later date. ,
A resolution asking that the general
assembly at its next session
authorise the treasurer of the state
to deduct headquarters dues of fifty
cents from each pension check before
mailing them to veterans was approved
after some discussion.
Objection was removed when it was
explained that such procedure would
?ot interfere with camp activities and
would not include widows.
And Belled Garters
"Have you heard the latest?" asked
one yesterday. "They tell me that
Southern girls are starting new
styles, one being of a tinkling nature.
Newspapers are telling that Southern
girls are wearing belled bloomers
?that is that they are sewing little
tinkling bells in their bloomers. So
far they say Broadway has not heard
the belled lingerie but is expecting to
every minute. There were belled garters
last winter, but they soon rang
out. There was too much traffic for
the bells to be effective. In some instances
they say that not only garters
are belled, but bloomers and petticoats.
"This is a ranging age. No doubt
about it."-?Newlberry fierald.
Automobile tires in the vicinity of
Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts,
are cut to shreds by ragged clamshells,
which are carried high aloft
by gulls and then dropped to concrete
roads. The gulls use this
method to extract the clams.

about Stoves i
- <3y Mrs.''Sarath"Tyson Rorer
Philadelphia Cooking Expert
44 t prefer oil stoves to any other
I'kind. I speak from the fullness
of 30 years' experience with
them. Oil is clean, economical,
and dependable. It saves a
world of work. No coal or wood to carry
in, no ashes to carry out. And no dust.
"I have just completed a special experiment
on the 1926 model Perfection Oil Stove, testing
it under all possible cooking conditieh9.
I cooked many meals in my own kitchen.
Every dish was deliciously cooked. .
j * Immediate Cooking
"Steak began to broil and my molasses cake
began to rise almost a9 soon as I lighted the
burners. There was no waiting for the heat
to 'come up.'
"The bottom of every utensil used in the
experiment was as clean as a
china dish. No scouring was.
necessary. Those long Perfection
chimneys certainly are insurance
against sooty kettles.
All at the Same Time
"I cooked many things at once.
For boiling beef I used a very
low flame. I French-fried potatoes
over a hot flame with
yellow tips about 1% inches
high above the blue area. I
cooked white sauce over a
medium flame.
"I used all grades of heat at
the same tinie satisfactorily.
. , - ' II
All flames remained steady
and even. They did not creep
or'crpwl.'This is a real blessing
to the cook. She can forget her stove and
keep her mind on her cooking.
44 Very Well Satisfied"
"Altogether I was-very well satisfied with
the Perfection Stove. And, my good opinion
of oil stoves has increased, if that is possible." y
