Great “Prosperity Parade5' oi: Lumber
Turning an order for almost a million feet of lumber into a “prosperity parade,” Los Angeles staged a mile-long
procession of motor trucks and trailers bearing a 12-months’ supply of timber for a large movie studio. The huge
order required 100 trucks and signalized the opening of production on the 1931 picture schedule in Hollywood.

Missed Their Potatoes
One of the strangest yearnings
•which ever entered the port of Phil-
adelphia was that which arrived with
the British tanker Athelknight. The
crew hankered for potatoes—mashed,
hashed, brown, french fried, boiled or
baked. For the 43 officers and men
of the Athelknight had not tasted or
seen a potato in nearly 50 days. Ev-
ery potato in the “spud locker” folded
up and died three days out of Soura
baya, Java, seven weeks befor<*
Where Burmese Rebels Are Active

to New York from Porto Rico where she had been visiting her son, Governor
Roosevelt. She attended memorial services in Oyster Bay on the twelfth
anniversary of her husband’s death, and received a large group of “pilgrims”
who made their annual visit to the colonel’s tomb.
IDEAL WINTER SPORTS OUTFIT
IS MADE UP OF GAY TRAPPINGS
^TpO DRESS to environ-
X ment is a fine art which
should be cultivated. Evi-
dently the charmirig young
sportswoman in the picture
thinks just that. In her
selection of all the trap-
pings which go to make up
a perfect costume for a per-
fect winter day this fair
lady shows a sophistication
which declares her to be
rightfully style-minded.
Nor in her enthusiasm for “effect”
has she at any time lost sight of com-
fort. She has chosen a costume in
russet and crimson. The short skirt
of deep red is fashioned of “comfy”
wool while the snug jacket is fleece-
lined suede. The jaunty stocking cap
winds its long scarf streamer around
her neck. Her russet and crimson
leather boots are laced on the inside
of her foot and they are topped with
as gay a pair of striped woolen socks
as can be located in any up-to-date
hosiery department. The gloves?
They are crimson knit.
It seems that skiing costumes have
gone Norwegian to a great extent.
The long trousers snuggle up around
the angles in a most protecting way,
revealing just enough of the gay
socks to give the proper touch of
color. In making the jacket of the
same material, the ’dea uppermost in
the designer’s mind is to maintain a
solid color background which will the

pink tint and the lace faintly tea-
colored and the gown takes on such
adorable lines as does the model illus-
trated, where is the artist who can
paint a more entrancing picture?
Which goes to show that all pictures
are not produced with brush and paint
on canvass. Some of the most beguil-
ing visions of beauty gowned in beau-
ty are created by artists in the sar-
torial realm whose media consists of
exquisite fabric plus handsome lace.
The interesting thing about this win-
some frock is that the designer has
succeeded in incorporating a whole
list of quaint details without making
the gown take on a hopelessly old-
fashioned look.
To enumerate there are the wee
puff sleeves, the raised waistline, the
ribbon about the waist, the ruffled
peplum effect, and the deep lace
flounces—reads like a description
quoted from an ancient Godey’s La*
WINSOME GOWN WITH YOUTHFUL TOUCH
more strikingly emphasize variegated
colorings of the accompanying acces-
sories.
Picture if you will a long trousered
costume made of black wool. The fin-
ger-tip jacket which fastens up the
front is bordered all around with
black fur, cloth which simulates as-
trakhan. The beret is also of the
black boucle which trims the suit. Sc
far all is black, which makes the con-
trast of the bright yellow scarf, like-
wise the yellow gloves which are worn
with this costume, all the more vivid.
Red is very much employed for
skiing costumes. A designer of note
in Paris adds a beret, an enormous
scarf and a pair of gloves made of
red curled wool to a costume of navy
Norwegian cloth.
Fashion’s Latest Message.
Taffeta trimmed with lace is the
message which comes straight from
fashion headquarters to those sweet
young sophisticates who are content
with none but the loveliest for their
party frocks.
When the taffeta la a “delicious”
dies’ Book. However the picture, as
you see, reflects a style portrait which
is brought down to date in a manner
to satisfy even the most exacting mod-
ernist.
The flair for wide lace flounces is
becoming increasingly insistent, for
which we should rejoice since they
bring new grace and an air of the
“sweetly feminine” into the realm of
party frocks which is most fascinat-
ing. Dinner frocks of chiffon with
deep lace ruffles are ever so smart,
and when the lace is black the effect
is quite Spanish.
The vogue for lace combined with
fabric promises repetition in spring
and summer modes. Costumes of silk
or chiffon are so manipulated that
with the lace jacket on, the ensemble
gives the impression of being all of
lace. However, the sleeveless dress
with the bolero or coatee of lace re-
moved tells a different story, since the
upper part is usually fashioned of a
dainty fabric which blends with the
laue.

QOOGOOQOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh, for the fresh spring season.
When the groves are in their
prime,
And far away in the future.
Is the frosty autumn-time!

HINTS FOR HOMEMAKERS
Caramel is a favorite flavoring with
a large majority of people. It is
equally as good as
a flavoring for
meat sauces,
soups and made
dishes, as in des-
serts and lea
creams. It may be
quickly and easily
prepared as fol-
lows: Melt a cupful of granulated su-
gar slowly In a smooth omelet pan
and cook until It becomes a rich
brown, being careful to avoid scorch-
ing. Pour in a cupful of boiling wa-
ter and stir until a thick sirup is
formed. The caramel may be kept in-
definitely if kept covered or bottled.
Ink stains on the fingers can be
removed by rubbing with a cloth
moistened with household ammonia.
Rinse the hands in clear water after-
wards.
Lemon jbice and sunshine is an ex-
cellent remover of rust spots on linen
or white fabrics.
When it is necessary to use boiled
water for drinking it will taste bet-
ter if it Is poured back and forth
from two pitchers, giving it more air.
Use a lump or two of sugar instead
of starch when washing fine laces.
An easily prepared mushroom sauce
which adds tremendously to the at-
tractiveness of a broiled steak is pre-
pared thus: Mix in a frying pan one
tablespoonful each of butter and flour,
stir in gradually one cupful of brown
stock; when boiling point is reached
add one cupful of mushrooms, salt
and pepper to taste, a tablespoonful
of mushroom catsup, with a teaspoon-
ful of caramel.
When white stains on polished
wood surfaces cannot be removed
by a cloth dampened in alcohol,
use powdered pumice mixed with
linseed oil to make a thin paste. Rub
over the spots until they disappear.
Wipe off carefully with a soft cloth
dampened with furniture polish.
A quick relish may be made for an
occasion by chopping cooked beets
with celery and cabbage and a table-
spoonful or two of freshly grated
horseradish root, sugar, salt and a
little vinegar or lemon juice to taste.
Reasons for Scarcity
of Batak Literature
Marco Polo and the emperor of
China landed on the Batak coast, to
avoid a storm in the Thirteenth cen-
tury, and had to erect block houses
to avoid being eaten by the natives.
For the Bataks were and are canni-
bals, eating renowned individuals, not
for dietetic reasons, but that his
strength and wisdom may be incor-
porated in the banqueters. The choice
cuts are the Angers, toes and the
palms of the hands; and—according
to a cannibal chief who confided in'
an explorer—the popular term among
cannibals for human flesh is “long
pig,” as the general taste is like that
of the pig.
This tendency on the part of the
Bataks is probably the reason why
libraries are not usually furnished
with Batak literature, because very
few agents could be induced to look
for rare worksi within reach of people
with such Ideas. Indeed, the Cleve-
land public library is probably the
only library in the world to posses?
a pustaka.—Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Inn’s Many Famous Guests
The Lion inn at Shrewsbury, Eng-
land, still popular with tourists, has
entertained famous persons for more
than a century. There George IV
danced before the battle of Trafalgar
and there Paganini once played. De
Quincey spent a night at the Lion and
Disraeli was there in his early days.
In 183S Charles Dickens, accompa-
nied by “Phiz,” was accommodated
at' the inn and wrote to his daughter
of “the strangest little rooms” and
“how the windows bulged out over the
street as if they were the stern win-
dows of a ship.” The ballroom, de-
signed and decorated by the Adam
brothers, is still used for dancing.
Back to the Library
A young patron at the West Indian-
apolis public library was explaining
why he had not been taking out books
for some time.
“Well, you see,” he said, “my broth-
er used to buy lots of magazines and
I’d read them. But he went ‘goofy’
and got married and don’t buy ’em
any more.”
