Doughnut Season Here Once More MARY NEA Service Writer This is the time of year when doughnuts are Justly popular. The temperature of the fat is of utmost importance, since this solves j the fat-soaking problem and determines the digestibility of the dough- | nut. When a thermometer is used it should register 370 degrees when the dough is dropped in and should he kept at 350 degrees during the fry- | ing. For the bread test an inch cube of bread from the soft part of the | loaf should brown in sixty seconds when dropped into the hot fat. Good Doughnut Rules Following is a rule for old-fash-ioned yeast doughnuts. Two cakes compressed yeast, 1 cup milk, H teaspoon salt, V 4 tea- ! spoon nutmeg, 2 eggs, % cup granulated sugar, 5 tablespoons melted butter, 4 cups floor. Scald milk and cool to lukewarm temperature. Add crumbled yeast cakes and stir until dissolved. Add 114 cups sifted flour and beat mixture until smooth. Cover and place in a warm place until puffed up and I bubbly. It will take about an hour for the sponge to rise. Mix and sift j two cups of flour with sugar, salt, | and nutmeg. Add eggs well beaten to sponge j and then stir in dry ingredients and melted butter. Slowly add more flour until dough is stiff enough to knead. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in bulk. This will take not more than three hours. Use Biscuit Cutter Turn the dough on to a floured board and pat the dough into a sheet about three-fourths inch thick. Cut with a small round biscuit cutter. Let stand on board, covered with a clean tea towel until double i in bulk. Drop into deep hot fat and fry until delicately brown. Drain from fat, dredge with sugar and cool before storing. Stamps for Canning Many housekeepers find rubber j j stamps are handy for stamping I i names on cans and jars of home- j i preserved foods.

Just Every Day Sense

BY MBS. WALTER FERGUSON

PARADOXICAL as it may sound, one of the chief ailments of the American home these days is the woman inside it. Without her, it’s true, there could be no home, but when she constitutes herself a tyrant at the fireside, the same condition arises. There is a vast difference between a house and a home, as everybody knows. Plenty of women are busy keeping houses. But when it comes to*making homes, they are only charwomen and watchdogs. Multitudes of our dwellings have things too fine for the children to use and chairs too grand to hold father’s feet. And while there is no reason for the family to destroy the furnishings or the bric-a-brac, still there are many reasons why everybody should be allow’ed to feel comfortable and natural anyw’here on the premises. a a a HOME is the place where every individual can do as he pleases. This is not actually the case, of course, but insofar as it ever is possible to do exactly as we like, each of us may be his real self within the four walls of his home —and nowhere else on earth. It is only there that we can relax and undress, mentally as well as physically. The home should be an abiding place and not merely a sort of dignified tavern for men, women and children. And it is not the place for a lot of regulations. The mother who forever is making rules about this, that, and the other, disregards the first great rule of the successful homemaker., and she is generally a failure at her job. In every home the rights of the individual should take precedence over the rights of the house and the furniture. The outside world, the school world, society are so filled with restrictions that civilization has set up, should make our homes little'havens of freedom for those we love.

LEGION MOVES FOR RELIEF OF STATEJOBLESS Finding Work for Idle Held Duty; 200 Posts to Participate, Aid for the unemployed of the state is to be sought in a program started by the 209 Indiana American Legion posts at the annual fall conference here Sunday, j Floyd L. Young. Vincennes, deI partment commander, has announced plans for uniting the posts j in a concerted effort to relieve the unemployment situation. In recogntiion that a national economic and business emergency I exists, the American Legion is in{eluding provision for work for the ! idle as the most important part of its national service program. Plan Is Suggested A practical plan has been formulated for legion posts to follow. National headquarters will issue an honor certificate to every employer of labor who increases his paid personnel by 10 per cent before Dec. 1. Likewise, each legionnaire who obtains a job for some unemployed person will receive a patriot card suitable for framing. Every department commander has been requested to appoint an employment officer, who will appoint assistants in the 10,000 legion posts of the country. Finances Are Healthy Ralph T. O’Neil, national commander, said at a conference in the Antlers: “Some Legion posts already have started work on the employment situation and others will join in the task when the need is impressed upon them." Bowman Elder, Indianapolis, presented an extensive financial' report at the conference showing the Indiana Legion in a health condition financially. Outlines for several membership contests among Indiana posts were presented at the conference. Major ! Richard F. Taylor is planning to! collect membership cards by air- j plane.

NORMA NOT A GOOD ‘MADAM DU BARRY’ Film Star Gets Into Trouble When She Tries to Walk in the Shoes of a Famous Bad Woman of Old France. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN NOBODY can make a Poiiyanna out of Madame Du Barry, because she was not that kind of a girl. And Norma Taimadge got herself Into a lot of trouble when she tried to make Madam say “No," but act “Yes.” w You can’t put Du Barry through the laundry any more than you can clean up Anna Christie, and it will always remain a mystery why Norma Taimadge decided to make a talker of “Du Barn-," especially since Pola Negri made history by her work m the old silent “Passion." On the stage we can have season after season of Shakespeare, but I think the screen is all wrong in turning finely acted silents into talkers

with stars not suited for the job. To my way of thinking, Miss Taimadge is no nearer being Du Barry

in looks or action than I am the girl herself, or as she was. Even the broad announceme n t that this movie does not attempt to be historical in any sense, does not lessen the grief of Miss Taimadge. She seems to be afraid to go into realism. She is afraid to be the real Du Barry. Maybe the censors were the ones most

' & ’ V.

Norma. Taimadge

feared, but if I was in Norma’s shoes. I would fear the general verdict much more. If we are going to have Du Barry on the talking screen, then let’s have her and not just a mere excuse. At no time did Miss Taimadge convince me that she could have m*,de a fool out of King Lords w?ii as making simps out of the entire court. And I think the director, Sam Taylor, is as much to blame as any one for Norma’s sad work in this picture. In all fairness, I want to state that a fortune has been spent in creating a marvelous background. Some of the palace interiors are of great beauty. The fete in the king’s garden just before the people go nuts and toss the king off the throne, is one of great beauty, but scenery alone can not make a bad picture good. Several of the men in the cast do really fine work. William Farnum does wonders as the silly old king who goes wild over any pretty face. Here is good work. Excellent also is the work of Hobart Bosworth as Due de Brissac, probably the outstanding work of this movie. And Conrad Nagel as Cosse de Brissac is completely miscast. ? And the ending of the picture is a splendid example of the evils of overpadding. Have your own idea about this one. I have and it is in the negative. Now at the Palace. HAROLD LLOYD AGAIN IN A VERY FUNNY PICTURE It has been some time since the last Harold Lloyd comedy, and it is

with pleasure that we welcome a net*- one, such as “Feet First,” which is his second talkie. I say welcome, because we are always ready for good comedy. I

' believe that “Feet first” has all the fun and laughs one can stand in one day. There are plenty of gags, seme old ones and new ones, but all good ; laughing material. Harold works him- : self up from -in $lB clerk to $35 a week, and all due to a ; personality course from which he graduates. This

j±

concerns the first part of the picture,

Harold Lloyd

and though funny, the real fun does not start until he finds himself on a steamer without a ticket and funds, and in love with a young girl who thinks he is a big leather man. The trouble he has to throw some magazines overboard, which contain an advertisement with his picture and letter telling of his success as a shoe salesman, is a riot. He throws them over the rail, and the wind blows them back, scattering them all along the deck. This part is funny to the last page of one of the magazines, which sticks to the back of a woman’s dress. The last part of the picture is solid with thrills and fun. For here Harold w repeats what he did in a former picture, that of trying not to fall from the dizzy heights of a large building, where he crawls around like a human fly. Lloyd is perhaps the best at this type of entertainment and here is the big punch of the picture. Barbara Kent is the girl he falls for, and Alec Francis is also in the cast. “Feet First” is one of the funniest pictures I have seen ixi many a moon. See it. Now at the Circle. (By Connell Turpen). tt tt “RIVER’S END’’ PRESENTS SEVERAL BIG PROBLEMS “River's End" first written as a novel by James Oliver Curwood, and now as a talkie on the screen, presents to the leading characters what one would call problems of conduct. I see the Liberty magazine is g v-

ing prizes for such problems and their answers. Here the problems are presented and' answered, in a very interesting story of the North Mounted Police. It is perhaps the best of its type we have had in the talkie form. The acting is very good. The scenery is beautiful, and direction is good. Charles Bickford plays a dual role,

and with great success. He is both the hunted man, and the man who is after him. Hie first problem of conduct comes when as the hunted man, he has a chance to escape and leave his would-be captors in the wilderness to freeze, or save them and risk his being captured. He saves them but the man who wants his capture dies from a frozen lung.

Charles Bickford

The other, being only a guide, takes a liking to him, and because he is the very likeness of the dead man, urges him to take the other’s place and thus make his escape. Once he becomes entangled with the dead man’s living life things be-* gin to happen, and more problems are presented. In the cast are Evlyn Knapp, Zazu Pitts, J. Farrell MacDonald, Tom Santchi and Junior Coghlan. Miss Knapp as the girl of the picture is a new one to me, but welcome, because of her natural char mand good acting. Zazu Pitts is funny with all her gossip about the scandal in the village. Coghlan comes to the front as a juvenile actor. The women will like this homeless little boy, who is in lcve with an ideal hero. Fine entertainment from beginning to end. Now at the Apollo, (By observer.) a tt a

A SCREEN MUSICAL COMEDY THAT DOES NOT REGISTER “Heads Up,” with Charles (Buddy) Rogers and Helen Kane in the lead roles verges on the brink of mighty poor entertainment, and is only

I

made fair, by the good comedy role of Victor Moore, who is anew screen comedian, imported from the stage. The plot and action is silly, and very unconvincing. In the first place, Rogers falls in love with a daughter of the rich, at first sight. Then he captures some rum runners, single handed, and all

Victor Moore

this on the yacht, which belongs to the rich female’s mother. The yacht is immediately wrecked on a rock, and the passengers are marooned on an island. The situations are slammed together without reason or effect, and the result is a hodgepodge of nothingness. To Victor Moore goes the creditfor brightening this weak vehicle,

with some good comedy gags. As the cook of the yacht and a former convict, he has his troubles. He is also an inventor of household utensils, with which his kitchen is well stocked. Helen Kane helps to pep things up a little with some song numbers, and Billy Taylor, as her lover, clowns and dances a bit. Taylor was here with the Fred Stone show, “Ripples,” which was at English's a week ago and in which he had a leading part. For your information. Buddy sings in this one also. Margaret Breen is his leading lady. Only fair entertainment. On the stage Charlie Davis and band, with the Publix unit show, are featured in “Hello, Paree.” Now at the Indiana,—(By Connell Turpen.)
