On JWday Governor McLean re-! Virginia, 117,869. The Atlantic
ceived from the very able body of 'states are now leading New England
men comprising the Salary and Wage in waterpower development.
ixnnmiesion tne report 01 that body Governor McLean appointed the!
along lines authorised by the 1925 ! following trustees of State institu-
General Assembly. It ras indicated
Mr. McLean will give the matter his
full study and later make its con
- tents known. Those familiar with
the commission, headed by Julian
Price of Greensboro do not expect any
dvVstic revision of- state wages to
follow or any gross inequalities in
schedules to be ordered. The com
mission is composed of men who are
of long business experience ami know
what it costs to live. The body of
state employes have gotten over the
first scare which came to them when
appointment of a commission to re
vise their salaries and eliminate un
necessary employes was announced.
They feel that they will get a square
deal In addition, Governor McLean
has announced the Wage Commission
primarily was to place the state er.i
ployes on a regular basis, meaning
that schedules for different classes
of employes would be uniform
throughout the departments. Some
increases may be made and some em
ployes may be dropped as unneccs
sary. The greatest value of the re
port however will be a full classifi
cation of all and definite salary
schedules adopted. Those not now
within the classifications outlined ly
th ecommission are not expected to
be affected, but when new employes
are gotten in the course of time their
employment will have to be along
ihe lines of the standard set by the
commission.
The State Fair Special, led by O.
Max Gardner, its president and sla.cd

went into the Western section of thr

welcome. Everywhere the personal

He has grown inmensely in the esti
mation of the people since that mem
morial campaign of 1920 and the
occassion which the state fair special
offered the people to show him their
regard was taken advantage of to
Ihe fullest. Great things are expect
ed of the fair under his leadership.

Judge Sinclair recently told the
grand jury in Warren county that
the State is spending a large amou.it
of money every year to clean up and
is still dirty, presumably having ref

takes exception to the remarks ar.O

the idea that laws are a panacea for

is intensely interested in club work,
was most enthusiastic over the pros
pects of the new district and her en
thusiasm was contagious. There are
a number of towns without a woman's
club and it is the hope of the pres
ident to organize clubs in tho:,
towns and make the first district one
of the best in the state. Mrs. H. D.
Secrest cf Canton is the secretarj
of the district.

peating the club collect. Mrs.- Quin
lan outlined the plans for the work
of the district and asked that ench
president familiarize herself with tl.e
year book and pass it along to lh
officers so that they may study it.
She also stressed the North Carol! aa
Bulletin and the Public Welfare in
the Community as most helful pib-
'ications. Mrs. McKee, the State pro
ident, offesed Mtaarhs froBS Usm to
time which were full of splendid
suggestions. Mrs. Quinlan dwelt upn

It was announced that the district
meeting will be held in Waynesvili-

bring box lunches. The district dues
of five cents a members were brought
to the attention of the presidents by
Mrs. Quinlan, who urged that thesi
he paid early in the year. It was men
tioned that the first district is indeed
fortunate in having not only th'.
State president, but the State Corr:

and several State chairmen.

THE average housewife is prac
tically running a domestic
"three ring circus." Beside
the social duties which take her
out of her home, she is pretty sure
to have either business or club in
terests as well. Also she must not
neglect her family-meals.
The pantry shelves well-stocked
with ready-to-serve foods have
proved the solution of this busy,
modern woman's problem. As all
modern canneries know the secret
of preserving the vitamins during
the canning process, these foods are
just as nourishing as Ihe fresh o-ics

Tlie Versatile Pineapisie
L"J
PINEAPPLE has indeed been
well named the most versatile
fruit that we have. In des
serts it is unrivaled and as a salad
with cheese it is as delicious as it is
good to look at Its widespread
popularity dates from the perfec
tion 01 tne canning process, for it
is the canned product that is in
greatest demand. Fresh pineapple
is somewhat tasteless and is usually
mil 01 tougn noers.
Canned pineapple is packed in
two ways tor the convenience of
tne bouMwtfo in slices for salads
and desserts that require firm
fruits, and shredded for ice cream,
sherbets... fruit drinks, puddings,
pies and other fancy desserts.
Recently the world hss been de
veloping a taste for saute pineapple
and you will now find it served in
this form with meat dishes. To
saute pineapple place slices of it in
a frying pap of hot butter and
brown it slowly on both sides.
For a quick dessert nothing is
more delicious or easier to make
than shredded pineapple mixed with
marshmallows cut in small pieces
and bound together with whipped
cream. , If you like, a sprinkling
ot coconut can be added on top.
Crushed pineapple makes a deli
cious sandwich filling if mixed with
cream cheese. It also adds flavor
to ice cream when poured on like
sundae sauce.
Pineapple Custard Pie

apple, 1 cup sugar, tablespoons

PARTIES are one of the joys of
childhood. They will linirer
in the memory, long after
other early incidents are forgotten.
Therefore every mother should see
to it that her little boys and girls
have birthday celebrations that are
worth remembering.
Of course, games and other
features of the entertainment play
a Digf part in every children s party.
But, after all, it is "the eats" that
count most with the little folks.
The mother should take pains to
serve inc son 01 nungs mat most
children like best, yet always with
an eye to their wholcsomeness.
Many a party is shadowed by a
cnua s illness atterward, from eat
ing too many rich, indigestible mixtures.
A simple menu will be just as
satisfactory to the little guests, and
at the same time make the whole
affair easier for the mother. Re
freshments should be selected that
do not require elaborate prepara
tions beforehand. Of course, the
birthday cake should be made cithcr
the afternoon before, or the morn
ing of the party.
Here is a good, standard recipe
for the birthday cake: i cup
evaporated milk, diluted with 28
cup water; 1 cup butter; 2 cups
sifted sugar; JH cups flour; 8
whites of eggs beaten stiff; 4 tea
spoon! baking powder; 1 teaspoon
vanilla; yi teaspoon almond ex
tract Cream the 'butter and add
the sifted sugar, a little at a time,
beating to a fluffy cream. ' Add; the
diluted milk and 3 cups of flour,
alternately, a little at a time, until
half of each is used. Fold in half
the egg whites; then tht rest of
the flour and milk. Fold isu thc
remaining egg whites, and add to
tne batter the bakinir-oowder thor-
oughly mixed with. the remainimr
quarter cup pi flour.,,; Add the flsv-j
onnff- ! JP,k IB with
paper. This will make one large
birthday cake or two smaller ones.
Make -the frosting of : $ pi
"". K enn boiling water, 3 egg
wMtes stiffly beaten-rVl teaspoon
vanilla, and 14 tensnoon rose-water

mir-point. m a ; saucepan, "istir-ing;
until the scsar ?s dissolved! - "Then1
boil without stirring tit:l
the syrup threads when
dropped from a spoon.
Pour gradually over the
beaten white, of eggs, stir
ring constantly until the
frosting is of the right consistency
to sorcad. Add the flavoring and
spread on the cake.
Probably ice cream will be served
with the cake, but for a first course
pineapple salad with whipped cream
wirjld undoubtedly please the little
folks. It is so simple a matter to
open a few cans of pineapple and
arrange the slices neatly on separ
ate plates, surrounding each plate
with maraschino cherries, and put
ting a fluffy mound of whipped
cream in the center. Evaporated
milk may be used to make tke
whipped cream, preparing it thus:
scald the. contents uf a can in a
double boilet 7or five minutes, then
set on ice to cool. SttV it constant
ly while boiling and also while cool
ing, so as to prevent a crust from
forming on it. When cool, it may
be whipped like ordinary cream.
With the pineapple salad, wafers
or thin bread and butter sand
wiches may be served. A: basket
of fresh fruit and ornamental cans
of hard candy as favors m-Irn at
tractive additions to the table, which
-1 course win nave the birthday
