duced by paste mixtures. “Paper cam¬
bric” is an example of a fabric with
a paste finish. Artificial silk, or ray¬
on, is a more lustrious fabric than
either of these, but should not be mis¬
taken for mercerized cotton.
■ Many years ago the United States
Department of Agriculture, John
Mercer, for whom the process is nam¬
ed, discovered that when cotton yarn
or cloth was dipped in strong solu¬
tions of lye for a short time then
washed, neutralized, and dried it be¬
came much stronger. In the later
years it was noted that if the yarn or
cloth was held under well-regulated
tension during the process it was ren¬
dered glossier as w r ell as stronger.
Hence, mercerization is a process that
not only durability but beauty,
There are today on the market many
cotton fabrics in which the entire cloth
‘is glossier and stronger than ordinary
cotton materials or in which bright
mercerized yarns have been introduc
ed to form stripes, checks or figures,
Some of the best known mercerized
fabrics are bastiste, mull, cotton da
,
mask, cotton foulard, sateen, Venetian
and cotton poplin. Each of these is
valuable for some special purpose, ac¬
cording to its character—the
fine fabrics like bastiste for under¬
wear and infant’s dresses and the
heavier ones for linings or household
uses.
How to Select a Turkey for

When you select your turkey

ment of Agriculture, one of the
considerations is the amount

on the breast, back and hips.
of flesh means plenty of meat for

ous amount of fat to insure a
tender turkey. The French

ter observe how plump the bird is.
Feeling the end of the breast
keel bone and examining the spur
the feet may give some idea of
age of a turkey, but these are not
fallible for picking out a tender
key. Almost any turkey can be
ed so that it is tender; but it is,
course, easier to roast a young
The best method of cooking a

and juicy. Cooking it in a
roaster with a little water in the

age of the turkey and its size.
The custom, of having a turkey

BREAD MAKING CONTEST
CLOSES.
The 4-H Club Girls of Mitchell
County are no longer in suspense as
to the successful prize winners in the
bread contest that has just ended.
Mary Bowen’s bread scored highest;
Coy Akridge’s second; and Louise
High’s third. To these happy girls
go respectively $12.50, $7.50 and $5.00,
which were offered by the Hand Trad¬
ing Company.
The work with bread started in the
spring when the girls began with the
making of muffins. After testing
their skill for a while in this work,
they began with loaf bread with the
above results.
Not for a moment though
any contestant feel that her work
has been in vain because a prize did
not come to her. Much greater bene
fits than mere prizes are sure to come
to each one who patiently practices
the beautiful art of bread making and
produces sooner or later, so rare a
product as the “perfect loaf.” Your
demonstrator, your club, and your
county, are proud of every one of you.
SAVINGS.
“Lttle bits of paper, little wisps of
straw,
Make the finest kindling a body ever
saw—
Twisted into faggots, neatly laid
away,
Start the kitchen fire and not a cent
to pay.”
“Savory little drippings from the
roast or fry,
Take the place of butter which you
have to buy,
Rescued from the garbage for the
family’s sake,
Add a pleasing flavor to everything
you bake.”
i
“Take the extra hot cake husband
couldn’t eat,
Day-old bread and biscuits are not
wasted wheat,
Toasted in the oven till they’re nicely
browned,
Just as good as cereal and once they
have been ground.”
“Strings from all the bundles from the
grocer’s shop,
Count dandy dish-cloths, fillers for .the
mop,
Handles for the skillets, mats to set
’em on,
Bag to hold the clothes-pins—hand
dy, every one.”
•>
“Don’t deprive your household of the
things .they need,
Constant deprivation only tends to¬
ward greed,
Minimize your wastage—that’s the
better plan,
Don’t beat anybody but the garbage
man.
WHAT IS MERCERIZED COTTON.

FATAL CROSSING
“PERFECT TRAPP”
LAWMAKER SENDS DIAGRAM
SHOWING CAUSE OF NA
HUNTA TRAGEDY.
ATLANTA, Ga. — The Nahunta
grade crossing, at which a school bus
was wrecked last Monday, resulting
in the death of 12 school children and
the injury of 18 others, was pronounc¬
ed a “death trap,” by Representative
J. B. Strickland of Brantley County,
in a letter made public here today by
the Georgia Public Service Commis¬
sion.
Representative Strickland enclosed
under the same cover a drawing of
the scene of the accident, showing 28
freight cars which, he said, were on
one side of the crossing, and 32 cars
on the other.
"It was a perfect death trap,” he
declared. “The first car on the
North side was standing on the cross¬
ing so that automobiles had to run
around the end of it. There was no
chance for the driver to see the train
or the engineer to see the truck un¬
til they were within two or three feet
of each other.”
At the same time, Fort E. Land,
State School superintendent, issued
a call to all public school officials to
require busses carrying school chil¬
dren to come to a full stop before
crossing tracks. He urged that the
drivers send lookouts ahead before
making' the grade.
Secretary Robert Springfield, of the
Public Service Commission, returned
from a trip of inspection at. the scene
of the tragedy. He refused to di¬
vulge the nature of his findings and
would not comment on his view of the
probable cause.
Next Gubernatorial
Race Sets Dame Ru¬
mor Actively at Work
ATLANTA, Ga.-r-Dame Rumor has
set the tongues of the state wagging
over the next gubernational race in
Georgia. Governor Clifford M. Walk¬
er will not be eligible,to succeed him¬
self in office, the law of the state pre¬
venting an incumbent from serving
a third successive term.
While almost every section of the
state is considering the merits of a
favorite son or a suggested' candidate,
there are as yet no hats in the ring.
Indications are, however, that ere
long the seekers for the coveted post
of chief executive of the common¬
wealth will make known their inten¬
tions.
J. Howard Ennis, of Milledgeville,
Ga., on a visit to Governor Walker
and other State officials at the Capi¬
tol a few days ago, stated that he
would formally announce his candi¬
dacy for governor between the pres¬
ent time and November 20 or there¬
abouts. He has been acting in state
political circles for a long time, and
is now president of the state sen¬
ate, having served in the legislature
for fourteen years continually.
George M. Napier, state attorney
general, has announced that he is
seriously considering the requests of
friends and associates to make the
race for governor. Mr. Napier has
held his present post for several
years and previous to that time occu
pied a public office. In declaring
that he was considering announcing,
Mr. Napier declared that he was by
no means dissatisfied with his pres¬
ent duties. He has a host of friends
throughout the state, and a frequent
speaker at various gatherings in
Georgia.
The Polk county Bar Association
has gone on record, by the adoption
of resolutions, advocating the can¬
didacy of W. W. Mundy, for gover¬
nor. The resolutions were adopted
October 30 at Cedartown, Ga. Mr.
Mundy is well known in that section
of the state, and as a Kiwanis club
district governor.
Waif Who Wouldn’t
Study Music Given
Grand Opera Role
NEW YORK.—A waif who was
spanked in a Methodist parsonage be¬
cause she did not study music has
risen to operatic stardom. When
Mary Lewis was a girl in Little Rock,
Ark., her foster father, a Methodist
minister, used to spank her to make
her study music.
Today, at 25, shd has a contract to
sing with the Metropolitan Opera
Company. She will make her debut
later in the season..
In its efforts to recognize Ameri¬
can talent, the Metropolitan seems to
be recruiting chiefly from the South
and West this season.
Recently the director engaged Mar¬
ion Talley, 17, of Kansas City, who is
preparing for her debut.
When Mary Lewis was little her
foster mother used to punish her
when she caught the child dancing.
But Mary Lewis today says she just
couldn’t help dancing and piroutted
in her room without music when no
one was looking. Then, when she
was 16, she ran away with a vaude¬
ville company which stranded when
it got to California. She became a
moving picture bathing beauty. The
next step was the Greenwich Village
Follies in New York, then Ziegfield’s
Follies.
