FOR THE GAS STOVE.
New Cooking Utensils That Arc a Joy
to Use.

New Cooking utensils That Arc JOY
to Use.
Judging from the number of cooking
utensils to be used over gas, it appears
as If the kitchen stove would soon be-
come thing of the past.
Among the latest inventions for gas
stoves is the waffle iron. 1t fits into a
frame underneath which the gas is
turned on.
A good sized iron that is divided into
four quarters, making three corner
shaped cakes, Is $1.10. There are
French waffle irons that make four or
more small cakes that cost $1.75, $3.50
and So. Each size comes with a frame
to at.
Then there is a new steamer that
burner. There are four vessels, each
setting into each other, made from tin
with an excellent copper bottom.
The water is placed in the first one
and put on over the gas stove. When
the water boils the food to be cooked
can be put in. The odor from one pot
cannot escape to the other, and a din
ner consisting Of a chicken, potatoes
beans and apple dumping Cboiled) can
be cooked at one time over the same
burner with the latter turned of half
way.
In using this boiler the chicken is
placed in the pan next the water, then
in hn ird
wire rack, which comes (15 cents ex-
tra) for keeping them dry and mealy,
and lastly the apple dumplings.
1t is mt necessary that all the pots
shall be used-two, three or four, as
meets ones needs. But 1t is extremely
necessary that the little cap shall be
placed on the tube of the last pot; 9th
erwise the cooking will be a failure,
as the steam will escape.
This vessel comes in four different
sizes and costs from $175 to $3.50, ac-
cOrding to size.
BY its use food cannot burn, of
course, and as fuel saver it has no
equal. Nickel frying pans, especially
good for use over gas, are delightfully."-
clean looking and exceedingly strong,
as the nickel is over iron. A medium
sized pan in this style may be bought
for 65 cents. Large sizes sell for more.
When 1t comes to the question of
buying roasting pan 1t is quite a
problem, for there are so many good
ones. The seamless are supposed to
be best, and there are a number of
these which include also the self bast-
ing feature. One style in iron which
has an extra tray or rack inside the
ventilated cover is only 81 and is Of a
reliable quality. Then there is anoth-
er style similar to the first in merit,
but has glazed iron, which makes
washing and securing easier. These
are $125 to $1.50
Then there are agate self basting
pans and enameled pans that do the
same service, and really all are excel
lent in their way.
Though number of new griddle-
cake pans have been introduced, there
is nothing, am told, to beat the soap
stone models. The aluminium ones are
practical, but are expensive, and, while
Iron is satisfactory, it is apt to make
the house smell Of cooking and is not
as clean looking as some of the 9TH
ers, so that, all in all, the soapstone
is conceded to be the best kind.

WARNING OF JAPAN WAR.
Congressman Humphrey Says Yellow
Nation Has Lead In Pacific.

Nation Has Lead In Pacific.
New York, Feb. 3.-Representativ
william E. Humphrey Of Washington
in speaking at the Metropolitan temple
on ship subsidies warned against the
danger Of war with Japan. The
church was decorated with flags, ana
militant battle banners marked the
ends Of many Of the pews.
II am sorry to say IT," declared Mr..
Humphrey, "but the United States has
criminally wasted it's opportunities on
the Pacific. 1t will take years to over
come Japan's lead in the Pacific. There
are fifty merchant vessels now under
construction in Japan. In the United
States there is not single vessel in
tended for foreign trade, nor has there
been for the last six years. For sew
eral years japan has bought every
American merchant vessel that has
gone into the market on the Pacific.
Subsidy is the magic word of ia
pans matchless progress. 1t was the
subsidized ships Of Japan that gave
her her great land victory over Russia.
1t was sailors from the subsidized
ships, trained thereon, that made pos
sible the humiliation of the Russian
fleet"
The speaker declared that it would
be a simple matter in the event of war
for Japan to land 100000 troops in the
Philippines and 100000 in Hawaii be-
fore the United States could begin to
start out her transports. Where Japan
has $50 vessels of her merchant marine
on the Pacific, the United States has
only twelve. In addition, he said,
there are 100000 Japanese In the fish
cries and merchant marine, where the
United States has hardly 1000 native
born American sailors.

a. m. because of the exceedingly
rough weather. He denied that he had
In any way conducted himself in an
unbecoming manner and asserted very
positively that he had touched no liq-
uor during that day.
He said he was greatly fatigued and
in a highly nervous state at the din
ner, but drank little Of the wine sefv-
ed. He could only account for hi Rp-
pearance by saying that he was about
worn out because of his long service
on the bridge, but emphatioally denied
that he was intoxicated or in any way
under the influence of alcoholic liquor.
After the testimony had been heard
the court. retired and within short
time reached its decision, Rear Admi-
raj Sperry, the commander Of the feet,
forwarding it to the navy department

AUTO DRIVERS
 IN THE TOLLS Fourteen Arrested for
 Speeding. ALDERMAN ONE OF THE VICTIMS Police Are in the Midst of Anti
 Speed Crusade. The Authorities. It is stated, Are De- termined to stop the Speeding
 Upon the Streets of "a
 Montgomery.

When fourteen Montgomerians, among them some of the most promi nent citizens. and one, even, . member of the City Council, were arrested yes- terday for exceeding the speed limit for automobiles. there was marked the beginning of jealous crusade, by the city police officials. against reckless driving of the motor cars.
 s Yesterday afternoon and last night the police were on the qui vive. peer ing here and there for the speeding cars. listening intently for the thud- ding wheels of the over-swIft ma chimes. And with all the search ing and the listening, there resulted such a haul as the police make but seldom.
 Those arrested for exceeding the limit were: J. M. Kennedy, repre- nta : tive of Ward 3 In the City Council; A. W. LeBron, jeweler: c. P. Anderson. coal dealer; G. L., Harris, broker; w T. Robertson, grocery merchant; pr. J. H. Blue. surgeon; NJ. s. Houghton. lawyer; J. NJ. Keller. garage operator; J. T. Willard, inspector oscar Nor man. w.. D. Fleming. chauffeurs; Tom Johnson, Frank Johnson and Robert Jackson, negro chauffeurs.
 The arrests were made by Ohicers D. Canty, G. Canty and Paul.
 The fourteen were not taken in cus- tooy Ali US pul dt FdIiouS ttIucs during the evening. when the three of- f1cers. all mounted on bicycles, sa " that this motorist or that one was im- bued with too much of the speed ma mia. and that he shot his car through the Montg emery streets at rate greater than the prescribed eight miles an hour Then they would give chase. and their summons would result in an arrest.
 i, As the fourteen disgruntled automo- bile drivers were conveyed to the po- lice headquarters. they made bond for their appearance before Recorder Baber today.
 The charge is that rates ranging from fifteen to thirty miles an hour were achieved by the fourteen drivers whereas they should have been con tented, according to the law, with a modest eight mile rate.
 Most of the arrests were made after the autom obile races at Vandiver Park Two of those taken In custody, J. NJ. Kennedy and w. T.. Rouertson, had served as judges at the races, and an- other. Oscar Norman, was the winner In the contest. The races of the af- ternoon. 1t seems. served as an uncon- scious inspiration to those who partook and the excessive speed came natural iy.
 It is stated by the officers that the haul of yesterday Is not the result of a sporadic attempt at reformation. but the beginning of 6 crusade against eN- cessiye speed that will last.
