City Manager of Mutual Life Advises Against Sale of City Property; Make Phoenix Pleasant for Chil- dren With Fairgrounds

Moved by the revelations of the July Bulletin of Phoenix town, J. H. Coons. manager of the local office of the Mutual Life Insurance company of New York, is constrained to write in this wise;
 Harry Welch. Esq,
 Secretary Phoenix Board of Trade.
 Phoenix, Arizona.
 Dear Sir:-Referring to. your bull letin of July 1st
 My attention was attracted by item Phoenix City Council planning to provide playground for children Out door life the year around makes Phoenix an ideal climate for health" All success to playground for child ren'' and to Outdoor Life in Phoe- nix
 Unquestonably Phoenix will grow In growing in population and in con- mercc, let not the greatest attraction of Phoenix as a home city be sacri- ficed. Let not outdoor life be sacri- ficed by the destruction of parks. Rather let the city hold for parks. every piece of real estate it now has and let it add to it's realty holdings. | Under no conditions should the city l hall block and the court house bloo;l | he sold Neither should the Centra, ! school block be sold If new city hall and court house are needed, let | the city buy the court house block | and the Central school block and sell l to the county for court house pur- | poses only enough of the Central | school block for the cOunty's needs | The result of grouping of public l buildings will be a great public con 1 venience and the resultant reduction | of fire hazard in our business dis | trict would be q great saving in fire insurance premiums The cooling ef- feet of the parks and of the oper l spaces about these public buildings will assure summer comfort in oul
 business district. The trees. flower:
 and grass in the business district vii speak more alluringly to the transien guests in our city than the most ex-
 pensive buildings that could be erect
 ed on these sites. Fairgrounds fol
 children are much to be desired. Mum
 erous small parks within the city ar I along the same lines and just es sCntial The more Phoenix grows, tn
 more the parks and playgrounds vii ] when the city re-buys them as it vii
 certainly be compelled to do if i 1 stays in the class of progressiv
 cities Business Is good only to sup
 port homes Except for happy health homes, business is a deadly Grudgery
 Every great city in the country i spending millions for parks an playgrounds. Why should Phoenix o the eve of her greatness, sacrifice he
 health giving parks and playgroun spaces. that would continually eu nance in value. for a few hundre thousand dollars. to erect building that would continually depreciate i value? Why should Phoenix imitst tile proved errors of youth of othc cities Now is the time for Phoepi2 / not to sell real estate, but to bu more.

 had been looking up the law though
 he had been in town only a day pr two. He said that that would work no hardship upon him for he had been pipe filter Accordingly the permit was granted and he proceeded with the construction.
 MT. Creighton in the course of his official duty went around to see the building. There were the iron posts all right and the required iron work for the roof support. MT. Kleen had done good job, The man that wrote the building ordinance could not have done a better one.
 But after having complied with the law. Mir KIeen went further and sur rounded the iron work with wooden 1 two by fours, so that for all pur- ] poses except strict compliance witt
 the law, the structure might as well 1 have been frame. MT Kleen said that the corrugated iron could not bc | fastened to the iron work, hence the ' two by fours.
 l It is doubtful whether or not. un-
 der the law, it was necessary for MT ! KIeen to go to the trouble of puttinf 1 the iron piping together. If he haC merely stored it within the building
 it might have answered the sam'
 purpose.
 In the opinion of the inspector, tht
 iron work was not made to supper
 the building at all but only to uphold
 the ordinance It does that nicely.

SAVING THE JUDGES
 OF COMMERCE COURT
Five of Them May be Retained as Cir.
 cult Judges.
ASSOCIATED PRESS pIsPArcHI

WASHINGTON, Aug. ?. - Five judges of the United States commerce court would be retained in office as judges by an agreement today by the house and senate conferences on the legislative. executive and judicial ap- propriations bill. The commerce court would be abolished by agreement and it's work turned over to the district courts.
 The senate has proposed that the five commerce court judges be dropped from the judicial rolls. The house proposed to keep them as circuit judges. but not fill vacancies that might occur. In this manner the num- Der of circuit judges would ultimately drop to twenty mine in number now authorized by law

GETTING UP THE CR0QUETTE
pensabIe for Success in This
Appetizine Dish.

Soak one cupful of stale white bread
crumbs in one-half cupful of milk,
mix with one cupful of chopped nuts
(either mixed nuts or walnuts). Sea-
son with salt and pepper, add the beat
en- yolks of two eggs. Shape, egg and
crumb. Fry in deep fat.
How to Shape Croquettes.-If the
mixture is thick enough to be handled
it may be rolled into any desired
shape.
How to Egg and Crumb Croquettes.
Slightly beat an egg and add one
tablespoon of water. Dip the croquette
in this mixture and then roll it in
very fine cracker or stale bread
crumbs. The process may be repeated
twice, which insures the croquette
against soaking fat.
Rules for Testing Fat for Frying
Drop into the hot fat a cube of bread
from the inside of the loaf. and if in
40 seconds it is a golden brown, the
fat is then of the right temperature
for frying any mixture which has been
previously cooked. For uncooked foods
use the same test, allowing one min
ute for the bread to brown-Woman's
World
The Marietta journal and courier. (Marietta, Ga.) 1909-1918, 1912-12-20

Grated rind and juice of one lemon,
one cup boiling water, one cup sugar,
yolks of two eggs, butter size of an
egg, one slice white bread broken fine
(about one cup). Beat the yolks of
eggs well and add to the sugar and
butter. Pour the boiling water onto
the bread and stir until we'll mixed,
then add the sugar, eggs and butter.
Bake in deep plate lined with
pastry; when done whip the whites of
the eggs to a stiff froth; add one
tablespoonful sugar; pile this upon
the top of the pie and return to the
oven until it is delicate brown This
is the incest lemon pie 1 ever tasted.

Chop veal or beef as fine as for
hash, fry for few minutes in salt
pork drippings. Take from the fire;
in the same frying pan make a rich,
well-seasoned cream gravy If cream
is possible; If not, use milk, thicken-
ing with cornstarch and adding a gen
erous lump of butter. Pour half Of
the gravy into pan over the fire, thin
1t with hot water, dip in slices of
well-browned toast, then lay the
moistened toast in fiat dish and set
in a warm place. Into the thick
cream gravy put the minced meat;
cook 1t five minutes and spread 1t on
the toast. Delicious.

SOME CLEANING HINTS
METHODS THAT WILL BOTH Rem.
oVATE AND PRESERVE.
Use Spirits of Wine, With Warm Wa.
ter, to Freshen Satin-Proper Care
of Glass-Washing Soda
for Silver.

To Clean Satin.-Take equal proper
tons of spirits of wine and warm wa
ter, sponge the satin on the right side
with this, working down the material
and not across it. While still damp,
iron on the wrong side.
Another plan is to clean the satin
with the following mixture: Four
ounces of honey, the same quantity Of
melted soap mixed with one egg and
one wineglass of gin, using a stiff
brush. When the satin appears clean,
rinse in cold water; press between
clean cloths to dry or hang up to
drain.
Iron while still damp, and thorough
ly dry before folding.
Care of Glass.-There is nothing
that repays one more for careful wash
ing and drying than glass. First one
must have bowl of warm water soft
ened with dissolved soap. which
makes a very good lather. Too hot
water should not be used, as 1t might
crack the glass.
Have bowl of clean water to rinse
the glass in after washing 1t and If a
very fine polish be desired on it have
a third bowl of cold water with a little
ammonia in it. Wash each article sep
arately, rinse it well, and dry with a
soft glass cloth, which should be made
of linen or little, fluffy particles will
stick to the glass and spoil the ap-
pearance.
When it is washed and dried polish
with leather kept for the glass, or
with silk handkerchief or with some
soft tissue paper.
How to Clean Silver.-Have an alu-
minum pan containing about two gal
Ions of cold water. In this dissolve a
piece Of washing soda about the size
Of an egg, and heat the solution to
boiling point. Drop into this the sill
yer to be cleaned, taking care to keep
the whole at boiling point. Let the
silver soak for three or four minutes.
Lift out with a wire spoon or long
handled fork, wash in hot soap suds
and wipe quickly with a perfectly dry
towel. The pieces so. cleaned will be
as highly polished as when new.
This process will neither injure
plated nor solid ware. When all the
silver Is finished, if there are any
pieces that do not look white and
clear, rub them with little dry whit
ing and dry buster; then polish off
with soft, dry clotA.
To Wash Feather Boa.-Prepare q
soap lather and one or two lukewarm
rinsing waters. Place the boa In the
soap lather and wash it by squeezing
between the hands till quite clean
Rinse it well 10 take out all the dirty
water and soap.
When this is done, squeeze the wa.
ter out Of the feather and roll in a
cloth, which will absorb the moisture
Take hold of the boa by the ends and
twist each in the opposite direction
thus giving the natural twist to the
boa. Fasten a piece of tape to each
and tie these to a line to prevent the
twist from becoming undone. Shake
the boa to separate the fronds, and
leave it until quite dry, occasionally
shaking it to keep the fronds apart.
The drying process should be done
in warm place, SO that it will dry
quickly, and the fronds thus become
fluffy, when it is ready for curling.
