original stain is spread, and the final con-
dition is worse than the first.
AS a background for this cleansing proc
ess use q board about eight inches vide
and twelve inches long. This is not IN
convenient to hold on ones lap. 1t should
be covered with thick fannel.llke bian-
keting, and then padded with piece or
thick. strong cotton. Cnbleached mus
lin is the best for this purpose and there
should be three or four of these cloths
constantly in use. The flannel must De

it can be removed as fast as il Is stained.
The object of this board is to give flrm
base on which TO rub. The covers act as
absorbents.
For all kinds of cleaning. except heavy
cloth. such as mems garments. white nan
mel is the best thing with which to rub.

dirt it must be thrown away. the bowl
wiped and fresh fluid poured in.
With these ready for work. the spot to
be cleaned is stretched smoothly over the
board and the first Goth dipped into the
bath. Instead of rubbing from the center
of the spot outward, which spreads the
stain, it is better to begin at the outer
rim and work tOwa~d the center. Inc

to a fresh spot. and as soon as all has
been used it must be laid aside and an
other one taken.
The material being cleaned must be con-
stantly moved on the board to Il fresh
place when applying the bath. One sees
the reason for this. for the first wetting
sends soil and moisture through to the
background. and unless the garment is
moved from these spots the dirt which
was rubbed out will be worked back into
the fabric. When the unbieached cotton
has been stained the cover should be re-
moved and fresh one substituted.
When beginning to rub dry it is we'll to
have a new under cover.
If. even with the best effort. there is a
ring left after the goods is dry. a steam
ing kettle will remedy the trouble. always
providing that the rim is not dirt, but
simply the line of previous moisture. The
ring may be held before the nose of a

efficacious. With this. however. care must

IN THE KITCHEN.
Recipe for Pic Crust.

Pastry flour made by the old process of
grinding is usually conside red best for
pastry. but any good flour will answer.
For the shortening, butter and lard, half
and half, is best. though clarified drip
pings of beef. chicken or pork may be
utilized. To make a good plain pie crust.
allow for each pie that is to have two
crusts heaping cup sifted flour. scant
| half cup shortening, a saltspoonful each
salt and baking powder, and enough cold
water to mix stiff.
Have all ingredients and utensils cold.
Sift together flour, salt and baking pow
der. Then cut in the lard or rub in with
the tips of the fingers, until the -four feels
'mealy.' Add cold water. a little at
time to mix to a stiff dough- toss out on
lightly Toured molding board and pat
down to about half an inch in thickness.
Flour the rolling pin, then with light
deft touch roll out the crust into an OBJ
long sheet Put the butter on in little
dabs here and there. sprinkle lightly with
flour, roll over and over, turn half around.
pat out and roll again. Then roll over
and over like a jelly roll and divide in the
center. If there is time, set these in the
ice chest, each piece turned on end with
the rings of pastry on top.
When hard and chilled. take out and
roll one piece to fit the plate with an inch
to spare. Double over. lift lightly and
lay in the tin. Press down the center SO
there will be no. air bubbles and let the
edge of the crust come just to the edge of
the plate. Brush the rim with cold water
and dust the bottom crust lightly with the
fingers dipped in flour or brush with the
white of an egg to prevent soaking.
Roll out SOME of the paste into a strip
half an inch wide and place on the edge.
Turn in the filling and if an upper crust
is to be used, as in the case of a mince or
apple pie, wet the rim again before put
ting on the upper crust. Roll out the lat
ter in the same way as the under.
Fold over and make several fancy
slashes in the center to allow for the es-
cape of steam. then lift onto the pie.
Press the edges of the crust lightly but
closely together and push the two crusts
away from the edge of the plate. which
gives them a chance to expand. Bake in
q moderate oven.

BY CARNEGIE INSTITUTION
MARKED PROGRESS INDICATED
BY THE SIXTH YEAR BOOK.
Work During 1907 More Productive
Than Any Similar Period in
History of Project.

Marked progress along many lines of in
vestiSation in which the institution is in
terested is shown in the sixth Year Book
of the Carnegie Institution. which has
just been issued. The work of the year
was more productive than any other since
the foundation of the institution. in 1902.
and this condition is readily explained by
the fact that many of the departments
and grantees have just reached the point
where results are being brought forth. In
the laborlous researches, however it is
stated as hardly TO be expected that many
results of great Importance and perma-
nent value can be reached within dec
ade at least
Thirty-eight volumes were published by
the institution during the past fiscal
year, and attention was called particu-
larry TO the books embodyirg the results
or experiments carried on by DR.. II. r.
MacDougal and Mr.. w. i. Tower Dr.
MacDOugal. director of the department of
botanical research, produced a new spe-
cles OF plant by an application of chemical
fluids to the egg cells during the period
preceding fertilization. Mr.. Tower of the
University of Chicago and an associate
OF the department of experimental evolu-
ton worked with the genus LeptinOtarsa
commonly known as the potato bug and
succeeded in producing new forms by
MedHS VI eINlTonmental lnfuenceS alone.
1heSe results have been pronounced to be
among the most important achieved in
the field of biological science since the
time of Darwin.
During the past year the geophysical
laboratory of the institution has been
completed, and is now occupied by Direc-
tor Day and his staff; the construction
OF a nutrition laboratory is well under
way in Boston. and definite provision has
been made fer the erection of an admin

is still largely in a preparatory stage.
The work of the department of merid-
ian astrometry. under the dictatorship of
DR.. Lewis Boss is engaged in a definite
study of the motion and structure of the
stellar system and a preliminary cata-
loeue. embracing the precise positions for

to substantial completion.
The year book further canvasses the
work of other organized departments. one
OF which is searching foreign and home
archives for documents and papers which
may throw light upon American history;
another is gathering material for the
publication of an economic history of the
United States, while a third is studying
human nutrition in specially designed
laboratory.
1t is also shown that part of the in
come of the institution is expended in ex-
tending financial assistance to competent
Investigators.

To Remove Stains.

No spot or stain can be removed from
any kind of material unless there is a
backing to absorb the fluid as it is rubbed
in. Failing this. the cleansing agent nee
essarily spreads over the surface to which
1t is being applied, carrying the soil stain
with it.
Another requisite is fresh cloths to rub
with. for as soon as one is Soiled it should
be rejected. for a cleansing agent immedi-
ately loosens dirt and everything in con-
tact with it becomes soiled. and unless all
rags affected are at once laid aside the

cries of triumphs long past filled the

hundred and second anniversary of
the birth of Edwin Forrest was OBJ

event occurred tonight, when some

actors, presented "Toodles,' in which
he starred in 1916
