Four persons, two couples, all of Florence, S. C., were injured Saturday night in an accident near Kingstree, S. C. One of the four was in a ser ious condition. Two persons were injured yester day when they drove their machines into a bridge over Cape Fear River near Littleton that had collapsed. Six others almost miraculously escap ed injury, two automobiles and a tiuck plunged into the river before the drivers could be warned that the bridge had collapsed. The list of remaining injured in cluded the following: One at Lum berton, three near Gastonia, one near Columbia, one near Hartsville, four near Lexington, N.

SUCCESSFUL HOMEMAKING By GRACE VIALL GRAY Self-Rising Flour a Time-Saver to Woman in Kitchen Within the last few years there has been a steady, ever-increasing in terest in solving homemakers’ prob lems. Anything that would cut the working time in the kitchen has met with great favor. All sorts of modern machines, such as the power washing machine, (lie pressure cooker, the dish washer and the vacuum cleaner are now’ recognized equipment for the modern home. , In the matter of foods, considerable progress has been made to lighten woman's work. Possibly no one food material has contributed to greater efficiency in cooking than self-rising flour. There is no doubt but that self- rising flour Is a great time saver in cooking. For example, laboratory ex periments prove that a cake calling •1 ’ • Self-rising flour makes the mixing and baking of biscuits a simple mat- -ter. Hot breads are always welcome on the table and with this efficiency flour, containing the leavening agent and salt properly blended in the right proportions with Soft Wheat, hot bis- .cults can appear frequently on break- fast, luncheon, or dinner tables. « for three cupfuls of flour can be mixed with self-rising flour in eight minutes ugninst the fltteen minutes required for the same cake made of plain flour. Of course the explanation for ftis Is as follows: Sejf-rising flour is sift- ed oiico only, lhere is no bilking pow der to meusure, Hu* eggs are added unbeaten, and the cake is mixed as .JiAlirkly nnd gently as possible. ' In addition to being it lime saver, self-rising (lour is dependable and this ^ one leatnre, dependability, is worth | its weight in gold to homemakers. To i know that each day her products will be perfect and always the same Is a godsend to every one of us who pre pare three meals a day, 505 days each year. In self-rising flour, n trained chem ist has prepared the proper propor tion of leavening, which is baking powder, and Hour in a chemical labora tory, with the greatest of accuracy and with accurate weights and meas ures. So the chemist in giving us flour blended with baking powder in the right proportion assures us of that accuracy that we cannot always get. In using self-rising flour, sift flour before measuring. Never add soda or baking powder. The following recipes are delicious, and illustrates the eflicieney of self rising flour: Drop Cookies (50 Cookies). 4 mips sifted self- 2 mgs rising flour 1 ’ . rups sugar \ rut fat 3 tsp. Ha vot ing T cup milk Place fat in a warm place until it becomes soft, though not melted. Combine with sugar. Stir In eggs. Beat well. Add alternately the flour and milk. Add flavoring. Drop small portions of the mixture on a greased i baking sheet and bake in a moder- | atcly hot oven ("*75 degrees F.). Doughnuts (40 Doughnuts). 4 Vj cups sifted self- 2 • rising flour 1 cup suyrar l cup milk ’-j tsp. cinnamon 1 tbsp. melted fat '* tsp. nutmeg Combine melted fat and sugar. Stir in eggs. Add flour and milk alter nately; add flavorings. Roll out the dough about one-third inch thick without handling it any more than necessary. Cut out the doughnuts and fry In deep fat hot enough to make a doughnut rise to the surface quickly and to brown each side In tibout one minute (about 375 degrees FT. liouarhold B^Jeuoe Institute ECLIPSE YIELDS NEW MOON DATA Discover New Wave Length in Corona Spectra. Niuafou Island.—The discovery of a new' wave length in the spectra of the sun’s corona and further informa tion on the movements of the moon were announced recently by American scientists as the fruits of their ob servation of the solar eclipse here. Spectrographs obtained by Dr. S. A. Mitchell, scientific head of the American naval observatory expe dition, caught manifestations of the heretofore unknown wave length, which showed itself at 6,770 ang strom units. An angstrom unit is one-liundred-millionth of a centimeter. The data is expected to be useful in computing movement of the moon and in forecasting future eclipses. Coronal disturbances on both the east and west edges of the sun were recorded. These appeared to have had their origin in eruptive promi nences. The detail shown In the spectrographlc lines of the coronium (chief constituent gas of the corona) did not resemble that exhibited by the prominences. Changes in coronal forms shown by the successive spectra indicated vio lent motions in the inner corona. These disturbances could he traced to as far as KXMMJO miles beyond the sun’s surface, and, as far as is known, never have been observed before. Development of photographic plates today indicated the expedition had been successful beyond expectations. A shortage of fresh water delayed de veloping. This became a difficult Job when fresh water had to be brought ashore from the U. S. S. Tanager and protected from lava dust blown in by trade winds. Photographs of exceptional beauty and detail were obtained, especially nine plates from the sixty-three-foot tower camera and three from the six ty-five-foot horizontal camera, con structed as an afterthought from scrap material and a spare lens. Beautiful- coronal streamers, with especially interesting strawberry- shaped domes, were conspiciuftis on plates of all cameras. The data indicates the totality was of b.'l.b. seconds' duration. Successful photographs of the flash spectrum were obtained both ut the beginning and end of totality. Arson Changing With Times, Marshal Finds Madison, Wis.—Arson, like all other crimes, “has gone Twentieth century,” according to observations of William (Ireenwald, deputy stale fire marshal of Wisconsin. “The present day torch is much the superior of its counterpart of 20 to 40 years ago,” he explained, point ing out that the old idea of a slow burning candle in a pile of oil soaked shavings is out of date. Greemvald said that system offered tf)0 much chance of failure because “the candle might go out and some inquisitive person find the evidence.” Common industrial use of highly volatile oils has made the arson “torch” harder to detect, he said. (ireenwald told of one man who bought abandoned mill* and some times operated them at a loss, but always recovered from the insurance companies in ease of a fire. A watch man. he said, in one of the mills told of discovering a small fire nnd of run ning to get a bucket of water from a tire barrel. The whole room burst into flames when he threw the “water” on the fire. “Gasoline in those barrels marked ‘For lire only,'” was Greeuwnld's ex planation. Blue Spruce Trees in Demand for Landscaping Crcede, Colo.—Colorado blue spruce trees are in demand in the Fast for ornamental use in the grounds around fine residences. Th\v bring good prices nnd have proved to be most desirable for transplanting for land scaping. The trees are being gath ered from the Rio Grande forest re serve near Creede. He Likes Doughnuts Porterville, Calif.—Herbert Kern really likes doughnuts. Kern drove 72 miles into the mountains for a vuea- tion trip. When he arrived there he found he had forgotten a sack of doughnuts. He drove back and got them. STHER MARTIN felt cheat ed. Here she was on her first trip by air—at Christ mas time—and she couldn't enjoy it at all! Of course, she had to admit to herself. Fred Harrington was prob ably as surprised as she was, if he had seen her. At least he didn’t know’ that she had seen him. She had been in her seat when she noticed him entering the air liner and never since had her face been turned from the window. That wouldn’t have been so bad if she could have seen the earth and watched the rivers.and farms as they skimmed swiftly along, hut with this snowstorm raging! She lifted her vanity case for the tenth time and under pretext of ar ranging her hair carefully surveyed the man lw*o seats back across the aisle. He w’as still absorbed, appar ently, in his magazine. That w’as what she had expected, and she w’ould have dreaded meeting his glance, yet she pursed her lips in discontent. She lowered the glass and again looked out of the window, trying to cheer herself with the prospect of Christmas. Christmas without Fred! Against her longing to go to him, t,» talk to him, was her pride. One w’es proud in love. She tilted her cbm higher, but could not keep the J'urs from her eyes. The other passengers were charting gayly, exuberant with holiday plans. Suddenly-there came a hush. The ship was going down, Slowh gliding earthward. Tensely they watched the land seemingly come up to meet them, and then as the ship struck and jolted over the rough ground a woman screamed. Involuntarily Esther looked back and into the eyes of Fred Harrington. “(Mi, Fred!” she said, and h e caught her to him. “My dear,” he whlspere 1. “My dear!” After a hit they joined tho excited group about the pilot. “Couldn’t take a chance In this bll.vzard,” lie was saying, “so we drop’.ed a flare. We’ll have to all stick by the ship till it clears up. A aian wouldn’t get far in this storm.” “You mean,” Esther asked, “we’ll have to spend Christmas here?” . “Possibly.” “Oh, well.” said Fred, “what does it matter? I think we'll have h. very merry ('hristinas — now — together — don’t you?” And Esther, understanding, smiled and answered, “Very.” ©, 1930, Western Newspaper Union.)
