... 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

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).

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

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.”

How to Light the Tree
To combine in equal proportions
red nnd green lights of equal bright
ness on your Christmas tree is an
assault on the eyesight The result
suggests traffic signals gone mad.
Two parts of green to one of red may
be used more effectively.
19,403 Bales Ginnod.
There were 19,405 bales of cotton
ginned in Barnwell County prior to
December 1, as compared with 16,438
bales to the same date in 1929, ac
cording to a report made public a few
days ago by P. A. Baxley, special
agent, of Biackville.
