ThickeninE Sauce.

One of the mistakes Of the inexpe-
rienced cook in making a sauce with a
thickening Of butter and -four cooked to-
gether Is that the liquid Is added to the
thickening before the temperature has
been lowered. The pan In which the
butter and -four are cooked should be
drawn back to a cool part Of the range
and the mixture should be stirred until
partially cooled; then the liquid may be
added gradually. 1t should be cold or
nearly so, whenever possible.

Answer to Dog and Hare Problem.
To the Editor:
In answer to the Dog and Hare" problem. the
hare takes six PAGES to the dogs Ave. therefore
while the dog takes one pace the hare takes one
and one-lfth PAGES. Nine PAGES OF the hare being
equal to seven PAGES of the dog. one pace OF the
dog equals one and two-seventh PAGES OF the hare.
Therefore while the dog takes one pace, which
is equal to one and two-seventh PAGES OF the
hare. the hare takes one and one NTH PAGES and
the dog therefore gains the difference between
one and two-sevenths and and one-hfth OF
three-thrty- nth pace of the hare. To gain hfty
PAGES OF the hare the dog will have to take hfty
divided by three thirty-nf OF 5S3 Is PAGES. In
which time the hare will take 700 PAGES

Please let me add my testimony on the IL"
seat question Man cannot realize what II means to
a woman to be forced to bear the jostling of an
- car. In many cases 1t causes positive pain
yet would rather bear 1t or. II possible. wait for
a car less crowded than to rob New York man
OF his seat. In the Southern cities a gentle
will reinquish his seat TO a lady with a gentle
courtesy. which makes It a pleasure for n woman
to accept 1t, and she is glad to acknowledge the
act with thank you" She feels grateful. But
when New York man gives q woman a seat he
does 1t with an angry scowl. and glares at her
much as an eyicted tenant would look at a land
lord. Invariably refuse a seat thus offered and

suit as to the best methods Of putting n

lent certificates Of citizenship exposed
by 1.-The Evening World" and to me
morialize Congress for reconstruction
of the naturalization laws. The sug-
gestion Is timely. and Judge Giegcrich
deserves credit for making It, The
courts incur n serious responsibility by
the careless issue OF naturalization pa
pers. and have n direct interest in the
erection OF proper safeguards against de-
| ception and fraud on the part of APP
plicants. The crimes dragged to light
by THE Evening World are of a start
| ling character, and If they do not show
collision they at least indicate gross
carelessness in the courts. An honest.
upright judicial officer like Judge Gieger-
ich naturally desires to render such
scandals impossible.
The law strives to guard the purity
of the ballot-box. and as has recently
been seen. inhicts heavy penalties on
those who are guilty of wilfully allow
ing a single Illegal vote to be polled a

is crime which actually supplied thou
sands OF fraudulent voters with tn,
means of breaking the law, with scarce
ly any danger OF detection.
