New Way to Make Apple
Dumplin9S
Served With Hard Sauce or Cream
and Suaar

By Mrs. Janet Mckenzie Hill, Editor OF
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
Here is a new way to make apple
dumplings that will surely please every
housewife, for it is not necessary to
have whole apples, and the juice cannot
run out and burn as with apple dump
lings where the apple is placed in the
center and the dough turned up around
it. The biscuit part forms a crispy
shell that holds the apples and juice.

..The uniform conduct of Mr.. Taft's

TO COMPARE NOTES.
The Kaiser Has Invited Col. GoethaIs
to Luncheon.

Berlin. March 7-Emperor William, who
is keenly interested in the Panama canal,
has invited Lieutenant Colonel George A.
Cocktails, chief engineer of the Panama
canal to luncheon at the palace on
March 10.
The emperor is known to hold opinions
different from those of the American en-
gineers regarding a sea level as opposed
to a lock canal; also on the inadequacy
of the Panama locks for the expected
battleship development.
These opinions are based on reports Of
German engineers and the emperor now
has seized the opportunity of comparing
his views with those of Colonel Goethals,
who has returned from flying trip of
inspection of the Kiel canal and other
engineering works
Colonel GOethaIS found the locks of the
KieI canal larger than those of Panama,
but was chiefly impressed by the military
methods in vogue there and also by the
military administration of the state rail-
way. He goes to Dresden tomorrow to
see the methods employed on the canal
being constructed there and Will depart
for England Immediately after his lunch
con with the emperor and sail thence for
America.

Il believe that Colonel Roosevelt

Endorsement to some of the positions

either the initiative Or the recall. L
believe that both Of these plans will
work very well in a municipality. and
perhaps even in a state, but the ma

have been more thoroughly tested IN

Scrubbing Floors.

Washington. March 1.-Two chill
dren of Lawrence strikers ran away
when forced to scrub the floor of the
home in which they were placed, ac-

strike today.
Daniel J. Murphy. prosecuting attor-
ney of Lawrence, read the following
telegram from Samuel G. Logan. the

Twenty-third street and Fourth ave-
nue., New York
Mrs. Taft did not attend the hear
ing today but her niece, Miss Ander-
son, was present, unaccompanied
Rev Clark Carter, the city mission
airy OF Lawrence, gave testimony re-
garding the removal of children which
the churches opposed.
A friend of mine" he said, 'heard
woman tell little girl who was to
be taken to New York to put on your
home. They'll take care of YOU over
there- 1t was the general impression
that the people who were sending the
children away wanted to excite sym
pathy.'
Wanted Them Back.
Mr.. Carter said that after the chill
dren were sent away parents came to
him complaining and saying they
wanted their children back The mis-
sionary also described a condition of
terror prevailing among the foreigners
aroused by the strikers.
All those people, particularly the
women he said, "are terror stricken.
People have been aroused from their
beds at night by strike agents who
would shout: No work, don't go
work; kill you Threats to blow up
homes precipitated a terrorized condi-
ton among the people"
do I understand that people of
Lawrence are in a state of terror"
asked Representative Hardwick
The strike began in terrorism" Mr.
Carter replied 1.-The people rushed
through the streets in calling the
strike, broke down the mill gates,
overpOwered the watchmen, rushed
through the mills, tore girls from their
work and drove all the workers out.
Some of the girls told me they were
thrown down and others tainted.
1.-THE people generally felt terror
every day whether parties to the strike
or not People in the suburbs were
afraid to go into Lawrence for days"
