Some Years Ago (By Clyde Ennnis) A BURGULAR IS SHOT —DOWN IN SAVANNAH Robber of Belk-Harry Store is Wounded in Flight Chief tof police Frank Miller re ceived word yesterday from con vict camp No. 2 of Savanneh, that a negro whose name was not given was shot while trying to make his escape. The letter continued that the latter had been arrested and sent to the Penitentiary for a term of tone year upon some small charge While a prisoner for only a few days he made a break for free dom and was shot down without serious injury. The Detectives were unable to axtract a confession from him, but Co the officer J. B. Davis, he told a story of a Jobbery in Salis bury about two weeks ago. It is recalled that the store of Belk-Harry was broken into and a quantity of goods stolen. The thieves undressed and changed clothes and shoes, leaving their duds, on the floor. They left about' four blocks off, they deposited one case of goods and left out. No trace of them ever developed. Thru the faith humbugs, bloodhounds were after them soon after the rob bery was discovered. Chief Miller offered a reward of 25.00 and Mr. Davis wrote an elequent letter for it. Mr. Miller will send for his men and he will be brought back here for trial. The case can not; be heard until the next term of court. Man Stands Upright After Death Mr. J. M. Maupin, of this city; has just received a letter from his mother in Roanoke, '/a. telling him, of the strange incident. Mr. Edwin Carper, a prominent! Hardware merchant of Roanoke, | Va. Mrs. Carper heard a shriek from her bath rcfem and upon en tering found her husband standing on a register with his hand touch ing an electric button. His mouth and eyes wide-open—-dead. She at tempted to move him and was her self thrown across the room by the electric shock. just 36 years ago—v~api ivew man Laid Dynamite on his breast and touched off the fuse. "Life is not worth the living” these were the last words of the late Capt. Joseph J.

He tells us all about strawberry tomatoes, strawberry spinach, and strawberry sunburn, but not once (at least not in our volume) does he mention strawberry shortcake! Now, if we were asked for defini tions of strawberry shortcake they’d probably go something like this “the It’s not only a simpler task to put a shortcake into the cold, unpre heated electric oven, but you’ll find your shortcake the best ever! It has a finer texture, it is taller than ever before and it is a beautiful golden brown—thanks to the draftless, heat controlled and moisture-controlled construction of the oven. The slow rising oven temperature causes the SI d big, unstemmed strawberry in each b^d of th:clz whipped cream gives a rI ^ touch to that most dcncious cf summertime desserts—strawberry shortcake, jj most super-elegant dessert of the whole -summertime,” “a sandwich patterned after the best biscuits you ever ate put together with scads of fresh, juice-dripping red strawber ries,” “the only dessert Uncle Zeke recalls for a second helping,” etc. Isn't yours among them? Start in Cold Oven Since it’s been so unanimously de cided that strawberry shortcake is just about the “berries,” let’s pool our pet shortcake ideas. One ardent shortcake promoter tells us to dress them up like this: Drop huge spoon fuls of whipped cream on top of the shortcake and then plunk a great big, unstemmed strawberry on each “bed” of whipped cream. Another highly recommends “individualizing” the shortcake, while our contribution to the whole of shoftcakedom smacks of all that’s easy, quick and excit ingly new in the field. We recom mend starting shortcake to bake in a co’d, unpreheated oven—a feature of the new automatic electric range. You know how easy it is to forget to preheat the over? Well, the new ek Icic range hr.s fixed that as well as hundreds of other cooking snares and pitfalls. shortcake ingredients to “act” g-ad ua iy and thoroughly. Here’s the recipe for making “miracle” shortcake—a shortcake so delicious, so easy to make that you won't have to define it; you’ll just want to devour it! Strawberry Shortcake 2 cups flour 4 teaspoons baking powder y2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar rA to y3 cup butter 3A cup milk Mix dry ingredients and sift twice. Work in butter with pastry mixer fork, or finger tips, and add milk gradually. Toss mixture on floured board and divide in two parts. Pat roll out and put half in round tin. Spread lightly with melted butter and place other half of dough on \ top. Place in cold electric oven. Turn switch to Bake, set Tempera ture Control for 475°, and bake ap proximately 15-20 minutes. j When baked, split shortcake and l spread with softened but’er. Put to- | pother wkh sweetened, crushed j strawberries. Serve with whipped I' cream. Ever Make Lights From Vases? It’s Worth Trying! — ...... i By Jean Prentice » Vases make charming decorative lighting units when wired and equipped with 100-watt bulbs. The interiors of the vases must be pure white, of course. Some stores carry them already wired. The effect produced is charming indeed. V^" E hear so much about indirect lighting nowadays. Architects and decorators who strike for soft, pleasing effects invariably incorporate it into their plans and designs by means of built-in coves and panels. A very simple and effective way to achieve lighting of this type is by means of ordinary vases. That is, ordinary vases that are given a dif ferent sort of treatment. Let me tell you about it. It’s really quite simple, and costs a mere trifle. Must Harmonize With Furnishings The v’ses are selected to harmon ize wi.' the decorative scheme of the room, then wired to accommodate a lOU-watt bulb. Some of them come ready-made in this way, and may be obtained at most department stores ar.d specialty shops handling objects of this kind. Should you decide to usq, an old vase and do the wiring yourself, or have the work done for you, be sure that you get vases that are white on the inside, so that they will properly reflect, and not absorb the light. The small hole through which the wire runs from the lamp socket to the wall plug or convenience outlet should be drilled not at the bottom of the vase, but at the side, about an inch or so from the bottom, so that the fixture will rest on an even base. A small reflector attached to the socket in side the base will throw more light upward and onto the ceiling, where it will be reflected in all directions. (Better have the wiring done by an electrical expert unless you are quite experienced at this sort of thing.) Results Should Be Checked Light thus obtained is very decora tive in character, and provides soft general illumination. I have seen as many as four in a room, mounted on bookcases and tables where they couldn’t glare into anyone’s eyes, r id the result was really something t thuse about. Of course, even the best of decora tive lighting effects must be aided by light of sufficient amount from floor and table lamps, and the general re sult checked by a light meter to make certain that there is enough illumina tion for such severe eye tasks as read ing and sewing. Among the advan tages of supplementary decorative lighting such as is obtained from lighted vases is that the illumination in the room becomes more flexible, and may be adapted to the changing moods and requirements of the family. j but of sound mind, and bt>dy.'“— I know that life is not worth liv ing, that the fates are against me,1' 5:10—A.
