Chicken a la King.

 * A;
 Chickcn q la King.
 You had request some time ago for chicken a la King recipe. l am pleasing myself. and would fain hope obliglng some unknown friend by nclosirg one which goes in our family under that name and which we like better than any other dish made of leftover chicken It may be made of boiled or of roast fowls.
 CHICKEN A LA KING Cut the fowl into neat pieces and chop very fine tiny onion. Heat cupful of milk in a sauce- pan. adding a pinch of soda to prevent curdlng, and stir Into this the onion and chicken meat. As soon as II bubbles, stir in the beaten yolk of an egg and set the saucepan In pan of boiling water for three minutes, stirring from the bottom several times. Season with a teaspoonful of minced parsley. salt and paprika to your taste.
 This Is the recipe, but we think the dish nicer when served with garnish of minced cold ham heated for a minute In a little stock. The stock from the chicken gravy diluted with hot water is best If you have 1t. Heap the mince upon rounds of toast and lay these about the chicken upon a hot dish. Serve round of toast and ham with each help :" of the chicken.

Cleaning Suggestions.

As one Of hundreds of interested read CTS of the Corner, I would ask one or two questions.
 How can clean a blue fiowered silk corset?
 How am 1 to take a kerosene stain out of tan shoe? ERNEsTINE L.
 Prepare a mixture of powdered starch, two parts; borax (good quality. one part. Provide yourself with a new clean ' com < plexion brush" and rub the powder into the corset, not missing thread. Shake 1t of when you have gone all over the gar- ment and rub in a fresh supply. Leave this on for three days before brushing out the powder. keeping the corset in a covered box to exclude the dust. Do not rub the silk so hard as to fray the figures This Is dry cleaning" If you do not wish to take 60 much trouble you may wash the corset in gasoline, using plenty of 1t and drying in the shade. Do the work out of doors and have no artificial light near while you do it. (2) Cover the grease spot with paste of French chalk and household ammonia. Leave 1t on for a day; rub eff and renew If necessary Had you left the kerosene in the open air without touchlrg 1t the spot would have vanished of itself. To keep dust from settling upon 1t you might have covered the oil with oatmeal (dry) and let 1t alone Kerosene is the least obstinate of stains if it be properly managed. had the misfortune once to have lamp over turned upon matted floor. Without touch ing the hideous spot, went out of the room, leaving the windows open tc facilitate the evaporation, and let no one enter the door for twenty-four hours. Going in then, found no trace of the oil beyond smell. which soon passed away. If the oil be of fair quality the disappearance is more com plete than If cheap dark kerosene be used

MOVING PICTURES
OLDER THAN
PHOTOGRAPHY
BY F. IRVING ANDERSON

TT rather odd to ascrbe the birth of the science
of photography to moving pictures, when the
= motion pictures find them every street
today possible only through photography;
yet such is the fact Moving pictures older than
photography, and what is more, responsible in
the beginning for the discovery of photography.
The progenitor of our modern moving pictures was
the diorama, trick echancal spectacle devised by
Daguerre and Bouton in Paris in 1922, and hailed by
the fun-oving populace with all the enthusiasm of
toy The dorama consisted of series of paintings
on gauze, arranged succession of .1drops in much
the same that the modern scenic artist to
stage spectacle such Little Eva floating among the
Clouds the goodnight skyrocket in modernized Uncle
Tom; but the original dioramists went farther They
showed the scenes in darkened auditorium and pro-
duced their effects by varying the direction intensity

the image thrown on the oiled paper upside down.
He was the original moving picture man, because,
when he watched the sheep and cattle and people up
side down, running his oiled paper screen, he
dreamed of the day when some miracle would enable
him to throw these images direct the curtain in his
dlorama, and give his audience the real thing.
HE conided his dream to Nepce chemist. Niepce saw
the possibilities of it, and they formed partnership
Niepce had heard that asphaltum captured images of
light and shade, and he began experimenting. One day
he turned with the first Photographic plate of history

lavender and after about year of hard work Daguere

been able to produce shadowy something that took
the appearance of landscape by exposing the plate

He could cut this time in half for picture of white

FL.EMINGToN, Feb. 22.--Anent the
disharment proceedings brought by
fcrmer Attorneys General Robert H
McCarter, representing taxpayers of
TIunterdon county, against Senator
William c. Gebhardt. comes the state
ment today that the action was entire
ly non-partisan. Prominent men here
who have been indicted by the present
granc jury for alleged violations Of the
election laws state that they have had
no hand in the movement and have
not contributed financially toward it.
It Is asserted that Mr. McCarter was
retained to bring action against Geb-
hardt at least a month prior to the
time the grand jury adjourned, and
that the movement to disbar Gebhardt
was begun before the grand jury found
any political indictments.
It is a peculiar fact that those in
dicted were either Republicans or
political opponents of Senator Geb-

evidence against Gebhardt's political

Wisehart and Ostby are prepared to
swear that Senator Fltzherbert, In the
lobby of the Trenton Horse, agreed to
the two bills, which would practically
drive the Commercial .Acetylene Gas
Company from New Jersey.
The revulsion of feeling among the
senators against Fitzherbert is not
mixed with compassion. Two power
rul senators on the Republican side
declared emphatically that Fitzherbert
would not be permitted to resign, even
though he should choose to do So.
There was at first disposition on the
part of the majority of the Senate to
permit the accused man to withdraw
gracefully. This has changed, how
ever.
I'VE do not want the State and the
nation to think that this Senate is
composed of any but honorable men,
and for that reason we will do all we
can to make o. thorough investigation,
and If we find Fitzherbert guilty we
will expel him." This is the sentiment
of the majority.
The senators are disturbed at the
statement made by Ridner that for
1850, $500 of which he would keep for
himself, and the rest give to the sena-
tors, he could prevent the passage of
the acetyleDe gas bills.
They are also shocked at Fitzher-
bert's admission that he promised to
see the backer of the bill and ask
him II he will withdraw it for $1,000"
