Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Block, anddaughter, Betty, returned thisweek from a three week's visitwith relatives and friends inCalifornia. Mr. Block in talkingwith the Sentinel reporter, stat-ed that he took particular painsto investigate conditions pre-vailing in the territory outside ofthe Big Bend district, especiallythose in California.

Mr. Blockcame back from the trip to thewest very .much more cheerfulover our local conditions. Theyreported a most delightful trip,enjoying the many pleasures of-fered by the western states.

with two victories to break theirtie with Casners and take undis-puted possession of ..first place.Attendance at the games con-tinues to increase, and interestis becoming intense as the raceprogresses. The Rotary Club en-tered their team this week, play-ing the Firemen Monday, andwith a six club league now going,prospects for an interesting ser-ies of games is evident.
On Thursday, The Firemtenshowed vast improvement, andhoisted warning that despite along losing streak, that theywere possible contenders, whenthey held the strong Casner nineto a 6-5 win, pushing over thewinning tally in the ninth in-ning.
The Barbers played excellentball Friday, with only two er-rors, and defeated the HumbleOilers 5-4, also pushing acrosstheir winning tally in the lastpart of the ninth on clean hits,coupled with errors by the Oil-
The Rotarians met the Fira-men Monday, and the Fire Boysrang up their first victory 25-7,in a game replete with thrills.The Rotarians played a muchbetter game than the score indi-cates, and promise improvement.
Tuesday, the crucial game asfar as the Barbers and Casnerswere concerned, was played. Astrong wind blowing down thediamond made fielding hard, andadded errors in the miscue col-umn. The Barbers outplayedCasners to take a clean cut deci-sion 25-16. 23 errors by Casnerswrecked their chances of win-ning, while the Barbers comittedonly 8 mistakes to take the well-earned victory.
Next weeks schedule promisesseveral tight games, and it ispossible that the standing of theclubs will be further changed.

"Yes," he answered rather ap-ologetically. "But it was thrill-ing. Here, dry your eyes. This istime to be gay. No one wasdrowned."
He was wiping her cheeks soft-ly when Nancy took her smallvanity out to powder her face.Blake noticed it was the samevanity that they had made theirintroduction possible early in theevening. Nancy's face turnedpale.

"There you are. Nancy, when doI get my dance?"
"Right now.""Hurry or we'll be too late."Blake looked very white in the
amber colored setting. He watch-ed the couple pass through thearchway and then step into rhy-thm upon the ball room floor.He wondered why he liked thelittle witch. She must know shewas some kind of an enchanterbecause she was so indifferent.Why couldn't he feast his eyeson another fair woman? Per-haps if he did, Nancy would befar more charming and he wouldlose her. Well, he'd make her likehim, yet. In his heart, the worldseemed only to care for play—for was not Nancy implying in-sults to his sensitive soul? Shewas irresistible and perhaps hehad been too emotional with her.Why could he not forget his in-fatuation for a moment?
He stared at the couple blank-ly as they passed dipping by thearchway. Then his eyes restedoti the last column they had lastpassed. "Wouldn't you like toknow?" What did she mean bythat? Was she hiding some-tning? Was she only bluffing?
Moments passed and it finallyoccured to him that he was in astupor. He turned and walkedinto the ball room searching!/

All the crowd mumbling haddied into a dreadful silence forthey had left the club. Blake wasfanning his patient and saw apeculiar pink color coining backinto the girl's face. Within a fewseconds, Nancy opened her eyesand glared at a misty lookingface. She batted her eyes severaltimes and then became awarethat Blake was standing in frontof her; he was still moving apamphlet sheet above her facegiving a crinkling sound.

(To Be Continued)"
"To dress" sometimes meansto clean and prepare for cooking,!as a fowl. Other times it means jadding last the oil or mayon-naise that completes the dish, asa salad. "Tossing" sounds likea game—and so it is. To "toss Ithe greens" for salad, you sim-ply turn and overturn them
i lightly with a fork in either hand| until every bid of the salad is jcovered with dressing. Practiceboth methods in this salad re-cipe:
Oscar of Waldorf SaladDice 2 cored and quartered ap- j
pies (peel if skin is not tender) jin a large bowl; add to them J.-2cup broken nutmeats, 1-2 cupdiced celery and 1-4 pkg", pas-turized dates (sliced). Dresswith a mixture of lemon juice,and mazola, using enough tomoisten thoroughly. Then tossuntil mixed. Serve in mounds of 1lettuce and dress each servingwith a little mayonnaise orcream salad dressing. Serve!with butter wafers.
All the old hands know what"to baste" means, but depend-;able authorities vouch for the.truth of the story of the bride [who sewed up her chicken withjstrong white thread under the FOR SALE—Four-wheel trailer,
six 30x3 1-2 tire and tubes. Sim-mons bed, mattress and" springs.
ply means dipping liquid on foodwhile cooking—syrup on fruits,for instance, and meats withdrippings. If your roast has notsufficient fat of its own, addscm$ rnazc'a fur basting; and ifit is too dry add some hot water.
"Until it coats the spoon" is acommon phrase in boiled creamor custard recipes, for that'show you tell when it is done. T&e
;am will cover the spoon witha film that does not run offWhen the spoon is taken out. Usethis test for:
Fruit-Nut Custard Sauce1 3-4 cups scalded milk; 3 egg
yolks; 1-4 cup sugar 1-2 tsp. va-nilla; 1-4 pkg. dates; 1-2 cupchopped nuts.
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar;add scalded milk slowly. Cook indouble boiler, continue stirringuntil mixture coats the spoon.Add vanilla (or use cookingsherry) dates and nuts.
Every cook must learn to bea cut-up, no matter how soberher nature. Different degrees ofcutting up and the use of differ-ent utensils are implied in thefollowing terms: to mince; toshred; to crumble; to chop; andto grate. You usually crumblecrackers, but it is best to rollup vanilla v/afers with your roll-ing pin for the following:
Peach Icebox Pie1 pkg. orange gelatine; 30
small vanilla wafers; 2 cups slic-ed peaches; 1-2 cup whippedcream.
Roll wafers and line butteredpie plate with the crumbs. Pre-pare gelatine. When beginningrto set, pour into crumb-linedplate, chill. Add peaches andcream.

IN ANSWER TO A LADY'S LETTER
A lady writes to say that she does not understand why an 8-cylindercar does not cost more to run than a car with fewer cylinders. Sherefers to my statement that our Ford V-8 develops more power on a gallonof gas than any car we have made.
The use of 8-cylinders does not mean the addition of two or fourextra fuel consumers. It is not, for example, a 4-cylinder enginemultiplied by two. Our 8-cylinder engine takes the fuel supply of anordinary 4-cylinder engine and divides rt eight ways. And why?
By reducing four larger explosions into eight smaller ones, we getengine smoothness and quietness. Eight-cylinders indicate the way thegas is used, not the amount. It is just the difference between goingupstairs in four long jumps or in eight ordinary steps.
Two things use up gas—bad engine design and useless car weight.Besides having an engine that gets a high percentage of power out of thefuel, the Ford V-8 has a light, strong body and chassis so that no poweris wasted in moving excess weight.
The only extravagance about the new Ford V-8 engine is in the buildingof it. The extravagance is ours—the economy is yours.
The whole question of car economy needs clearing up. An economicalcar gives economy all round. Price, operation, upkeep, all play theirpart. If what, you save on gas you lose elsewhere, that is not economy.
As to upkeep, our dealers say that in recent years the improvedquality of Ford cars has cut down their repair business 50 per cent.
As to price with quality,—judge for yourself.As to economy, here is the record of a stock car three weeks out of
shop in Oklahoma:
On a run of 10,054 miles at the rate of 1,000 miles a day—the FordV-8 gave 18.8 miles per gallon of gas. Not a drop of water was addedto the radiator. The oil was changed once in 1,000 miles.
That should answer a lot of questions.
