BAKER
SAYS GOOD PIES
KEEP HOME HAPPY

MINNEAPOLIS. Minp., Sept. l7.-If
women had pie clubs along with their
literary and art clubs and all of them
would learn to make thick, juicy pies
with tender crusts, domestic entangle-
ments would be so few that the di-
vorce courts would have to go out Of
business, in the opinion Of Mrs. V. A.
Eddy, No. 2211 Oliver avenue, North,
champion piemaker of Minnesota and
past champion Of Wisconsin and South
Dakota.
Most men will give up night at the
club or a cafe dinner if there is good
pie at home, Mrs. Eddy says. and she
advises all young women to learn to
make a pie.
Mrs. Eddy's statements we're borne
out by dozens of Minnesota men at the
state fair when they called at the
womens building and asked to buy
some of the prizewinning pies.
Mrs. Eddy won three OF the six pos
sible first prizes offered by the state
fair management For FIVE years she
has been capturing a majority of these
prizes and before moving to Minnesota
she won the prizes for several years
at the Wisconsin and South Dakota
state fairs. It's just a habit with her
now
While the pie champion is modest
about her achievements. she is not
secretive about her methods. and is
willing to tell anyone how the pies are
made.
1T doesn't make much difference
what the pies are made of so long as
the fruit used is of the best quality
and the other ingredients pure and
wholesome" she said. IF the pie has
the right amount of sugar, a tender
crust and the flavor of real home pre-
pared fruit, all the men and most OF
the women Eill eat it and ask for
more. Some women make pies with
out following any particular recipe,
and then they say it's bad luck if the
pie doesn't come out right. The trou-
BILE is the pie doesn't go in right II
it goes into the oven right and the
oven is right at the same time, it will
come out all right. There isn't any
luck about it."
Mrs. Eddy won first prizes for her
apple. blueberry and pumpkin pies
and she gives the recipes for the three
winners:
Apple Pie.-Fill the crust full OF
sliced Duchess apples and use a CUP
of sugar for every six apples. Put on
the top crust and bake it. That is all
there is to the apple pie, and there is
no favoring, but it must be done that
way.
Blueberry Pie.-One quart Of blue
berries and three-fourths Of a cup oi
sugar make the filling for the pie.
Pumpkin Pie-One cup of stewec
pumpkin. one cup of milk one-hali
cup OF sugar. two well beaten eggs
butter size Of walnut, one-fourth tea
spoon Of cinnamon, pinch of allspic'
and cloves and half teaspoon of gin
ger.
Piecrust for all pies-One cup o
-four one-half cup Of shortening ant
enough water TO make a soft dough.
Mrs. Eddy made her first pie whel
she was eight years old. When sh'
lived in South Dakota friend snug
gled a pie that she had made for tn
family dinner and entered il at a con
test at a convention of domestic sci
ence teachers and experts. Mr.. Eddy
went without his pie that day, but th'
pie won first prize at the show.

Safeguard the Crossings,

II IS entirely immaterial to the local
public whether fagmen are stationed at
the street car crossings BY the Commits
sioners under their police regulation
pow ers or by the interstate commerce
commission under it's authority granted
by the act OF Congress giving it jurisdic-
ton over the local street railways The
Important point is that something should
be done speedily by either the District
Commissioners or the Interstate COM
merce commission to make these cross
ings safe before attention is paid to such
complicated and difficult problems as the
enforcement of running board rules and
the provision Of enough cars to accommo-
date the traffic. Ever since the introduc-
ton of rapid transit in Washington these
crossings have been dangerous, and acct
dents have occurred at them from time to
time. The Star has repeatedly endeavored
to induce the authorities to compel the In
stallation of fagmen. pointing successfully
to these mishaps as unanswerable argu-
ments in favor of such a practice. Still
the railway companies have been permit
ted to continue the operation OF their
lines. trusting TO the selfgiven signals OF
motormen at the crossings to avoid COLI
sions. and now a tragedy has occurred
due directly to this cause. What more is
wanted than the finding of the coroner
jury that the loss of life at 9th and u
streets the other day was due directly to
the fault Of one of the motormen, who
thought he had the right OF way at the
crossing? Let there be no hesitation
either on the part Of the District Com
missioners the interstate commerce
commission on this score else there will
be another fatal mishan. even while the

A Wet Year.

Up 10 date this has been a rainy year.
and If it continues IT. will go on the rec
ordS as one of the wettest within the
range of written weather history The
average of rainfall in Wash
ington from January ! to the present is
25.I4 inches. The actual rainfall this
year during the same period has been
80. 4S inches, an increase this year over
the thirty-year average OF 4.74 inches
This is trlfie more than is per cent in
crease over the average. Much of this
excess has come in few exceptionally
heavy storms such as the one of a fort
night ago, when two and one-half inches
of water fell within two or three hours
1t Is small wonder that with rainfall of
this character, so heavily concen rated,
there should be floods throughout this
part OF the country Evidently western
Pennsylvania has had about the same
sort of season as this part Of the country

Pneumatic Tube Economy.

Not even a consideration of government
economy will justify obstinate objection
to a paragraph which was inserted in the
sundry civil bill by the Senate providing
for the installation of a pneumatic tube
system to connect the Capitol. House and
Senate Office buildings. Library Of Con-
gress. government printing Office and new
city post office for the transportation OF
documents, parcels. etc, that are con-
tinually being handled in great quantities
back and forth between those structures.
Such a system of tubes would undoubted-
ly save the government q good deal Of
money In haulage and handling, and
would, moreover. facilitate the transac-
ton of the public business by permitting
almost instantaneous deliveries from
point to point.
In one of his recent messages to Con-
gress regarding the matter Of money saw
ing in the administrative work. the Presi-
dent called attention to the possibilities
OF economy in the handling of the docu-
ments and papers between the various
departments. He gave some statistics
relative to the immense volume of bust
ness which the government does daily.
and pointed out ways and means of saw
Hl6 Alouey dil4 tlIle "A SeHefdI pleu-
matte tube system. linking all the de-
partments, and with the Post Office De-
partment. perhaps, as a central point
would undoubtedly prove of the greatest
value.
1t is a false reasoning that looks to the
initial expense of a new undertaking, and
computes the cost of the enterprise as too
heavy to be borne when the assured Incl
dental savings Will far more than COM
pensate for such an outlay. BY spending
$4,000 on a pneumatic tube system be-
tween the buildings of the Capitol Library
printing office group. the United States
would probably save at the rate of at
least $2o,CCD Il year. a return of 10 per
cent on its investment. Any business
man would jump at the opportunity to
save money at that rate Those who re-
gard themselves as economists in Con-
gress should try to take this view OF the
matter and acquiesce without demur in
the proposed installation as positive
means Of saving money to the govern
ment.

Not only has Mr.. Bryan figured largely

Wilson is elected. The Stars suggestion

became Secretary of State in the Garfield
cabinet In 1883 his support was given
10 Con. Harrison i'll the nominating con-
yention and he accepted the portfolio OF

Garfield row with Mr. Conkling over the
New York patronage. and he opposed
with his own candidacy Gen. Harrison

fieId and Gen. Harrison in calling him to
tncir side confessed the obligation the
country thought they were under to him.
Neither Gen. Garfield nor Gen. Harri-
