There is no such thing as the So
called luck in cake making and bak-
ing. There are certain relative propo-
sitions which must be followed. Es-
pecially is this true in butter cakes,
where there is always less butter than
sugar, and less sugar than -four. Less
baking powder is required with a Civ
en- measure of flour, than would be ne
cessary in dough without eggs. For
instance, one teaspoonful QeveD of
baking powder is plenty for each cup
OF -four where several whole eggs are
used. When too much baking powder
is used the cake is apt to be dry and
coarse grained.
1t is, a mistake to think a new
dough recipe should be necessary ev-
cry time a new cake or change is de-
sired. Keep the same fundamental
principles of the dough in -four, sugar,
butter and liquid, then vary in the
number of eggs, yolks and whites or
both, light or brown sugar, honey or
maple sugar, variation in flavorings,
melted chocolate mixed with the sugar
and butter, and so on ad libitum.
Some day We will take "Doughs'
for our subject and give the variations
in loaf cakes, layer cakes, doughnuts
and cookies, and their method of mix
ing, which is often changed, varying
in the quantities used. A good layer
cake recipe may be used in such a
variety of ways for cakes AS a two
layer cake, which makes rather thick
layers, but a much better cake and not
So much filling; where more of the lat
ter is desired make three or four lay
ers of cake.
1t is also baked in long pan which
will allow the cake to rise to about
two inches in height, frosted, halves
OF nuts placed at regular intervals
and cut in squares, so the nut comes
in the center of each one. This same
layer cake dough may be baked in all
kinds Of patty or gem pans, the top
cut of, scooped out and filled with any
fancy nut filing; cover replaced and
frosted all over and decorated for the
holidays with touch of red and green.
| will give q recipe from my card
index cooking recipes, as ! have never
found a better or more reliable one,
and many variations may be made
with this dough. Use only the best
materials for cake and have all ma
terials ready before beginning the

packed in the cup.

Writing about the problem of the
Balkan states several years ago James
Bryce assumed the eventual expulsion
of the Turks from European expul-
sion which he felt must come sooner
or later because of the incapacity of
the Turks to learn. The problem that
really concerned him was as to the dis
position then to be made of the peo-
pes of the peninsulas
The alternative possibilities as he
saw them, were the absorption of the
little states in the two great military
empires of Russia and Austria, or
their development as independent peo-
pies.
Such absorption, he pointed out,
would mean good order and increas-
ingly efficient government But it
would involve a growing uniformity in
Europe. Gradually the national life
OF the Bulgarians, the Albanians, the
Servians, would be absorbed in the
dominant life of the empire in which
they should be incorporated This
would mean the loss of elements of
possible value to European civiliza-
ton.
On the other hand, If the Balkan
states should be allowed to work out

THE BALKAN STATES

their own destiny, they might make
unique national contributions to the
worlds stock of ideas
Little states have done this of which
Jewish and Greek nations are the clas-
sic exemplars. The Jews supplied
Europe and America with religion.
Pretty much al the inspiration for
art and science and philosophy dates
back tC Greece. The vast Persian en-
pire contributed nothing comparable
to the Jewish and Greek additions TO
the worlds life.
China has been a victim of an over.
powering uniformity. Isolated from
the rest of the world with no fresh
infusion of ideas to keep it awake, thu
empire simply stagnated.
The Bulgarians have shown won
derful capacity for development when
the Turkish blight has been removed.
Sophia, the capital, which under Turk
ish rule was a medieval village, under
Bulgarian control has become a beau
tiful Modern city.
With their unique history and indi,
viduai traditions, the Balkan peoples
under regime of freedom, ought to
produce distinctive literature, and to
add to the richness and variety of the
world in music, art and social life.

THE CONTROL OF MONEY.

]. Pierpont Morgan, Americas fore
most jugg.er in the art of high finance
says there is no money trust in this
country and what is more there can
be none. Yet the committee before
which Mr.. Morgan gave testimony at
Washington, had before it charts CIV
ing lists of interlocking directors in
quite a number of leading financial
and industrial institutions and show
ing affiliations OF J. p. Morgan & Com
pany and some other corporations
through interlocking directories. The
explanation showed that the chart
dealt with the affiliations of $50 direc-
tors in Is banks and trust companies.
II further showed that these $50 men
held in all TAG directorships in 134
banks and trust companies, transpor-
tation and Industrial corporations,
having total resources of capitalize
ton amounting to s25, ,00O,O 600
II this is not a money trust T. is
something very much like It. A com
bination in control of $25,325, 0O0, 900
has almost irresistible power over
the financial and business transactions
OF the country. When $50 men hold
TAG directorships in 134 banks and cor
porations, they certainly have a con-
trolling ability over the money situa-
ton that can not be easily calculated.
There can be no doubt that ]. Pier
pont Morgan is able, largely, 10 con-
troll the money market; to cause
stocks to rise or fall by his shrewd
manipulations and, if necessary, to
bring on a panic. He can depress
stocks so as to give his firm and his
clique an opportunity TO buy, and aft
er they have bought, he can increase
values and thereby add millions on
millions to his wealth and the wealth
OF those associated with him.
One of the points made this week
in the examination of Mr. Morgan
was that he was in favor of the prac-
tice Of allowing interstate corporations
to deposit their funds in the hands of
\ private bankers and without restrict
| ing these funds to institutions under
the supervision of the government. In
reply to questions by Mr.. Untermyer,
Mr. Morgan said that the depositing of
these funds was a matter to be left
TO the discretion of the boards Of the
corporations in question.
Mr.. Morgan would thus have these
enormous amounts of money entirely
protected from government supervi.
sion. he would have them in the
hands OF private bankers, unaccount-
able to the government, or anybody
else, so that they could be used &C.
cording TO the methods Of high f.
nance" for such control OF the money
market and the big business transac-
tons of the country as would benefit
Mr.. Morgan and the class OF men to
whom he belongs.
These are interesting facts and
their disclosure must help the people
10 see the vast power which is in the
hands of a comparatively few men,
who have their headquarters in Wall
street.

Ideal Match.

But" says the candid friend, 81
cannot for the life OF me understand
why you intend to marry him. He
has wooden leg and the other one is
bowed, and he only has one eve and
is bald in patches. and positively has
the ugliest whiskers l ever saw on a
man. Why. no woman in her senses
could love him!"

plains the besuteous girl. 81 shall
never be jealous of him for the rea-
sons you have cited. And he will al.
ways be SO glad and proud that mar

That was an interesting paragraph
in the Associated Press report Wednes-
day evening, which stated that Presi-
dent-elect Woodrow Wilson, in his
speech to the Southern club of New
York. had promised to provide "gib-
bet OF public disgrace" for any man
who should attempt to start a panic in
the United States.
This opens up such an interesting line
