HOT WEATHER DISHES.

Ices and ice creams are always well
come in hot weather, and for dessert
nothing can take their places. Iced
fruits are easier to serve than fancy
buildings and much better for the di-
gestion.
During currant and cherry time,
those delicious fruits will be used for
pies as well as eaten fresh A cherry
pie is considered by most epicures the
sine qua non.
In baking cherry pies remember to
insert a paper funnel made from
writing paper in the center opening
and the juice will boil. up and never
run over and spoil the pie.
Tomatoes are such refreshing vege-
tables and are especially good for the
blood.
To vary the manner Of serving, chop
a cucumber and an onion, mix with a
sprinkling of chopped parsley and
French dressing. and heap on nice
thick slices of tomatoes.
Individual berry -shortcakes are pre-
pared by baking powder, biscuits.
Split them and butter while hot; I'LL
with crushed fruit and put berry or
two on top, if strawberries, If small
fruit use more. When making the
biscuit If they are rolled thin and
spread with butter and another laid
on top they split much easier and are
not as apt to soak the juice and be
soggy.
Macaroon Cream-Soak a table
spoonful of gelatine In two table
spoonfuls of water. Make a custard
with two cups of milk. three egg yolks
and four tablespoonfuls of sugar.
When cooked add the gelatine and stir
in teaspoonful of vanilla and eight
macaroons crushed and sifted. Add
cup of whipped cream and mold.

I have personally had many thrilling
experiences in the air, but there are
two instances that have left upon my
memory stronger impressions than all
the others I regard them as my two
closest calls.
Both of these thrilling moments came
to me while I was flying for practice
at my school at Beaulieu. near South

die, and I have an ideal flying grounds
there. It is seven miles from the raik
road station, with perfectly fat coun-
try, smooth and clear except for one
line of telegraph wires.

NV Closest Call of All.

NV closest call came to me in most
undramatic way. There were no spec
tators save only MacArdle and our
mechanics, and I think that Mac was
the only one Of them who really saw
my danger and knew that he was
near to losing a partner.
I was flying low with the Bleriot
XII, with the antiquated type of wings.
I started to circle the place in wide,
easy curves, without any definite OBJ
iect in view / found the machine
was banking well at the turns, and
became curious to see just how small
p loop I could make with her, SO
gradually narrowed the circle in which
I was flying. There seemed no limit
to her possibilities; I felt as though
could turn her on her beam ends If
wanted to, and SO, without the slight
est thought of danger, | kept drawing
closer and closer about the center, fly
ing at a great angle all the time be-
cause the circle had become so small
that there was no straightaway fight.
1t was a case of jam the rudder over
hard and see how close she would
come about.

HOUSE DEMOCRATS
WORRIED BY SENATE
HAVE DISPOSED OF LEGISLATIVE
PROGRAM EXCEPT THE
WOOL SCHEDULE.

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Demo-
Gratis in the house of representatives
having disposed of practically all Of
their legislative program except the
wool schedule, which is almost ready
for action, are worried over the puz-
zling situation in the Senate. the chief
feature of which is the Canadian reel
procity bill
The house Democrats argue that
they took the reciprocity agreement
just as it came from the information
al conferees and the President, and
passed it as a matter of national pol
icy without attempting to cucumber
it or embarrass the administration
with tariff riders. The farmers free
list bill, which followed, they ARGUED
was an affair ftheir own and does
not stand in the way Of the recipToci-
ty measure, for whose consideration
the extraordinary session of congress
was called.
Now they say that the Republican
Senate is juggling with the Canadian
agreement Should the bill embody-
ing it be eamended and the Democrat
ic house called upon to consider it in
amended form the house leaders fear
they mikht be placed in an enbar-
RAISING position.

LARGER TRADE
IS YET TO COME
IRON AND STEEL BUSINESS
STILL GOES ON IN USUAL
WAY.

NEW YORK, May 23.-The prom.
ise Of larger business in the iron and
steel trade is yet to be fulfilled Rail
road buying last week was more
contracted. Car and locomotive ord.
srs were insignificant and rail con.
tracts aggregated only 10000 tons.
A temporary furry in soft steel
bar was caused by aggressive selling
Of hard steel and iron bars on a basis
of 1,20 to 1.25 at the mill, but after
Canvassing the situation the mills
rolling soft steel bars refused to
meet the competition, holding prices
FIRMLY at lao base. The RESULT how
ever, was to check the placing of i'm
portant new contracts for soft steel.
Transactions in fabricated steel for
buildings and bridge were large in
number, but not in tonnage. Orders
were placed calling for 10000 tons
OF steel shapes, and bids were sub
mltted of $4,000 tons additional.
Foundry iron consumers were more
disposed to place contracts for small
dots of gray and malleable iron for
various deliveries extending over the
remainder of the year. Activity was
mainly in the East, where orders ag-
gregating about $4,000 tons of
foundry and 10000 tons of basic were
closed. Pipe works bought several
thousand tons of Virginia and North
ern foundry and special machinery
manufacturers took 5000 tons from
Buffalo furnaces.
Contracts in all districts were
scarcely 10000 tons, but 10000 tons
more are under negotiations.
