Macaroni and Eggs.

Macaron1 and Eggs.
The dish that appeals to all is
macaroni and eggs. Boil 4 ounces
of macaroni very fast in boiling

a little cold water. J'e
With a little butter, an equal
quantity of -four and half pint
of skim milk make some thick

pepper, salt and any scraps of
grated cheese.
The macaroni and sauce are ar
ranged in a fat dish in layers and
placed in the over to brown, while
the necessary number of eggs are
poached. Take up the macaroni,
arrange the eggs on it and serve
at once.
Rice may be substituted for the
macaroni if more convenient, and
a little anchoVy sauce instead of
the cheese makes a variety.
Spanish onions are invaluable
at this special season, and, with
macaroni and hard-boiled eggs.

A BIT OF NAVAL HISTORY.
Origin of ths Corps Of Professors Of
Mathematics.

Before the Naval academy was Is.
tabiished mldshipmen received their
education entirely on board ship. Their
technical education WIS obtained In
the school OF experience. helped out
occasionally by the voluntary efforts
81 the older line officers Their gen
ersii education was at first neglected,
but later instructors were appointed
for service on ships that carried mid
shipmen. These were appointed by
the secretary OF the navy for stated
periods much ms civilian instructors
nj the Naval academy are appointed
az the present time IN 1872 general
order was issued providing that they
should live and mess with iieutenants.
They were commissioned In 1913. but
specific rank was not given them until
the general reorganization Of all stan
corps during the civil war
The late Professor H. II Lockwood.
Z :. y. in some very interesting rem
inisceuces read before the Naval
Academy Graduates association In
1880 relates how the corps OF profess
sors OF mathematics came to be form

academy lie was one Of its instructors.
He had had service in the army. Az
ia the development OF the course Of in
struction he determined. after consul
tation with the superintendent. to give
the midshipmen little infantry drill.
This did not suit the proud spirits Of
the young gentlemen OF that day, and
10 show their disapproval Of this and
other efforts Of the professor they hung
him in eitiEy. An investigation and n
court martial followed on the charge
OF insulting Il superior officer.
The defense put up the plea that the
instructor was not = superior officer
Such n condition Is hard to understand
ut this time. when the status of Off
GERS instructors and midshipmen at
the Naval academy Is well defined. but
at that time midshipmen We're officers,
while instructors had no official stand

and 10 punish the guilty midshipmen II

DEMOCRATS PLAN RALLIES.
But Leading Candidates Have Made
Their Last Appeals.

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 4.-The Mary
land democrats have planned a series Of
rallies, but Speaker Champ Clark, Gov.
Woodrow Wilson and Gov. Judson Har-
mon, the presidential preference candi-
dates, have made their last personal APP
peals to the democratic voters. Mary
land has awakened to the Importance of
Mondays primaries. and today the whole
state is talking Of little but politics.
The new primary law gives voters the
opportunity to bind the delegates to
the state convention to act On a presi-
Dental candidate as their constituents
instruct them, and majority OF dele
gates to the state convention, acting as
thus instructed, can choose a delega-
ton to the national convention, which
must vote as a unit for the presidential
nomination candidate thus given the
popular choice Since delegates to the
state convention are elected by counties,
except in Baltimore where the legislative
district is the unit, the presidential pref
erence vote will be significant only as it
gives majorities in the various counties
and legislative districts. In other words,
the total preference vote Of the state
will not necessarily decide which can
didate will get the Maryland delegation
to the national conventions.

north of New Roads are of gloomy

Lettsworth early today said the town
was deep under water. Motor boats have
been sent to Lettsworth for rescue work.
On Verge of Starving.
A special train arrived at New Roads
last night with several hundred refugees
from the deluged country. A relief ex-
petition arrived at Bachelor. ten miles
south of Torass. last night with a large
number Of victims who were on the verge
of starvation.

growing more menacing. A force OF Loo
men worked all night, aided by search
lights on steamboats, in the river, trying
to prevent a break directly in front Of
that city. Bayou Sara, where a break
occurred yesterday, is today under water
ten to twenty-five feet deep.
