Whole-Milk Flavor

Milk dishes made with Van Camps Mix are
exceedingly rich and savory. Dishes made Of
milkmen's milk cannot compare with them.
Some women think that this flavor Is due to
something artificial but 1t isn't Il 10 simply the
flavor Of whole, rich milk.
Milkmen's milk separates. The butter fat rises
and the solids fall. When that milk gets to the
cooking Il 10 rarely more than q half-miik.
Van Camps cannot separate. Il contains too
little water. So il brings to your milk dishes tho
whole milk flavor. When you learn what that
means you viii never cook without Il.

There is a twenty-mile stretch Of
road between Washington and Fred

be found in the United States" declares
A. L. Westgard. official pathfinder of
the American Automobile Association.
Accompanied by Preston Belvin, presi-
dent of the Virginia State Automobile
Association, and several other promi-
nent Virginia motorists. Mr.. Westgard
arrived in Washington late yesterday
afternoon after a trying run from

II required two days for them to make
the 150-mile trip.
For twenty miles outside of Freder-
icksburg. road that is travelled by
farmers on their way to market, Is the
worst piece of roadway l ever saw
said Mr.. Westgard. Some parts Of 1t
seemed almost bottomless, and had we
not been riding in high-powered ma
chimes, we never would have been able
to pull ourselves out. In the last year
l have made three trips from New York

route, and in all that long distance
there Is nothing to compare with that

The route blazed by the pathfinders
will be the connecting link between this
city and Richmond on the proposed in
ternational highway extending from
Quebec to Florida. The Virginia State
Automobile Association, backed by the
American Automobile Association, Is
conducting a campaign throughout the

Six-Day Teams Are
Miles Behind Record

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.-with all the
riders tied. Nhe fifteen teams that got
away at one minute past midnight to-
day in the annual six-day bicycle race
in Madison Square Garden. are several
miles behind the record now, and show
ing no indication of hitting up lively
pace.
The garden was jammed when the
men were sent away this morning. and
several thousand persons remained all
night, hoping for hair-raising sprints.
They saw few real sprints, but numer-
GUS spills. There Is a bad spot In the
northeast turn, which has thrown more
than a dozen riders, and where serious
accidents are expected before the week
Is ended.
The early interest follows the
work of the German pair, Lorenz and
Soldow, who are making their initial
DOW in New York, but who brought
great crowds from 5broad. OF the Amer
ican riders. Kramer aid Moran, are be-
lieved by the experts to have a good
chance.

break, the writer Is inclined to discredit
the foregoing.
In response to g. request for the vir-
ginia end of the interview, The Times
today received the following from its
Charlottesville correspondent:
DR.. Lambeth Speaks.
Hammond johnson, as a Virginia
alumnus. has a right to an expression
Of his opinion, but his statement as
quoted in the columns OF the Baltimore
Sun was not based on official informa-
ton.
while It is true that another game
between Georgetown and Virginia will
not be arranged until we understand
each other, 1 have every reason to be-
lieve that an amicable settlement will
ultimately be Effected
These were the words of DR.. Lambeth,
athletic adviser Of the University Of
Virginia, in an answer to an article
printed In Baltimore, which quoted the
former gridiron star in terms that in
dicated that Virginia would drop the
Capital City team next year in favor
of Johns Hopkins. AS stated previously a
date for a game between Georgetown
and Virginia will not be definitely set
tied until the local athletic committee
holds Its next meeting, and from pres
Shl iIuiSdlOHS SuCH meeting VIII
not be called until after the holidays.
An investigation of the eligibility
code will be the principal business of
the session, as 1t Is thought that the
disagreement hinges around certain
rules incorporated in the said code
which are Interpreted In too liberal a
sense.
Although nothing official has been
given out 1t is thought that the Virginia
authorities will refuse to agree to the
terms of the alliance which in its pres
ent construction allows Georgetown to
play men transferred from Holy Cross
and Fordham in their first year.
AS to the game with Hopkins in place
Of the annual Georgetown date, 1t is
hardly thought that the local authori-
ties would agree to such a substitution
Baltimore would hardly furnish a crowd
as large as that which turns out an
nually to witness the big game In Wash
ington. However 1t Is more than prob
able that the Baltimoreans will again
be included In the schedule.
What Baltimore Says.
In response to a request for the Hop
lSins end of the story. The Times Bal
timore man responded:
Graduate Manager John Holmes, OF
the Johns Hopkins University football
| team, knows nothing concerning reports
that Virginia has severed athletic re-
lations with Georgetown or that Hop
kfns Is to fill the breach.

Three Successful Forward

Registering the only score of the
game within less than ten seconds be-
fore the referees whistle sounded the
end of play, Vigilants Athletic Club de-
feated the All-Star High School eleven
at Capital City Park. by 8 to 0.
Within one minute before the game
was called, the All-Stars punted from
their 4-yard line. the ball going ort
at their 25-yard line. vigilants effected
three forward passes, which carried the
bali across the line for the first and
only score Of the game. Time was call

made.
Undoubtedly Yesterdays game was the

A CONTRAST

n WRITER, who is enamoured of the Com.
n mission form of government, has published
\ an article in a New York newspaper, the Evening
Post contrasting the condition of affairs in Tren-
ton, which adopted the new form after bitter
fight with the condition in Hoboken where the vot-
ers rejected the commission system by large
majority.
The authorities Of Hohoken announced that
they we're unable TO pay the bills contracted by
the city or the salaries of its employees The city
treasurer had to borrow on his personal note
$4,000 70 tide over temporary deficit in the
finances Of the city in order that the employees
could be paid their salaries and have money for
Christmas
The correspondent says that the affairs of Ho.
boken have been managed for years by gangs Of
selfish politicians, whose pretensions to party afil-
iations are laughable. Four months ago Trenton
adopted the commission form, and the New Jersey
capital is likely 10 save during the year 100000
IN routine expenses
1t Is said that Trenton has never been the prey
Of gangs such as have exploited some other New
Jersey cities, but Trenton has been governed by
partlsans who have made mistakes and wasted
money The city government was merely in
efficient until the change was made
Although some accuse the commissioners of
being partisan and say that Trenton still has par
tisan government under a new FORM the fact re-
mains that the change has already accomplished
saving to the city. The commissioners have
succeeded in reducing by thousands of dollars the
estimated cost of some public work Mayor Dom
nelly declares that in the reorganization of the
departments Of the city saving Of S55Oe0 will be
effected.
All of which should be interesting news to Will
mingtonians who are familiar with the expense
of our own city government the deficits, the
vrangles and contentious and what are in a few
respects the ludorous municipal campaigns con-
Quoted here. With our New Charter Commission
we have chance to adopt modern method of
handling the affairs of the city and it is therefore
to be hoped that the commissioners will construct
charter which viii be satisfactory to a large ma.

convention in June.
According TO these stories the friends of Colonel
Roosevelt working in the belief that they can
round up a formidable number of delegates and
then convince the former president that in order TO
Save the party he should consent to the use of
his name in the convention
The Roosevelt propaganda is 10 extend to all
parts OF the countrs Whether these reports are
true or not, it is certain that determined effort
is being made to have Roosevelt appear a can
didate Some sort of plan has been agreed upon,
for in many parts Of the country the Roosevelt
sentiment is breaking out, apparently by pre-sr-
rangement The Roosevelt men, however, are
fighting under cover, and that makes the task of
combating them all the more difficult

LAEoLLETTE AS A aBoss.y

THAT fine old resctionary the New York Sun,
4 is not much impressed by the LaFollette can
didacy for the presidential nomination, and now
and then it raps Battle Bob. 1t even charges that
Battle Bob is a boss with a cast iron grip on the
Wisconsin progressive machine such as Quay never
had in Pennsylvania or Plat in New York or Hanna
in Ohio
Quite true LaFollette has a firm grip on Wiscon-
sin, and those who against him are likely TO be
hit by the buzz saw. Uncle Ike Stephenson, how
ever. had big roll and dehed LaFoette, and now
the latter is trying TO rout him from the Senate.
But the friends OF LaFollette might reply that
if LaFolette is a boss, he got there through tho
suffrages of the people, through direct primaries
and all that but so did Uncle Ike.
AS the Sun finally diagnoses the matter it is a
conflict for the Offices and LaFolletes career bears
out the statement that he has been eager to Sc
cure place for himself he TO serve the people.
Most servants Of the people also take good care
10 serve themselves while they are about II. We
don't presume that anyone in politics would ohal-
lenge the statement that the distribution of the
Offices is the potent factor in politics.
