Chicago Tribune: A French finan-
cier is trying to revive the time
when every workman sang at his
bench" The rule of science which
prevails in modern Industrial estab-
lishments IN France as well as in
most advanced countries he declares
to be the cause of inefficiency. With
Carlyle this Frenchman believes that
"the man who sings at his work" can
accomplish more. The question of
freeing work from motony, of even
making it entertaining, must before
long engage popular attention in the
United States. There is no doubt
that work in many factories is made
doubly hard and trying because the
employees are not allowed to talk to
each other. Every element of fun
is thus eliminated from the work in
hand. Many immigrant girls, who
worked longer hours in the old coun-
try, declare that they were never so
fatigued there by II and Is hours
work day as they are here by nine
or ten hours because it is all work
and no play here, while there play
went hand in hand with work. The
rule of science which prevails in
most modern industrial establish
ments may perhaps save few min
utes here and there which would
otherwise have been spent in gossip.
But it irritates the nerves. 1t may
breed disgust and aversion for the
job in hand, which becomes pure
drudgery. While the silent workman
may seem and ever be buster, he is
liely to be less productive than the
man whose job has been made less
lrksome through the entertainment
which he derives from humning a
song to himself of chatting with a
fellow worker. The theories concern
ing song as stimulant to efficiency
which are extolled by the distinguish
ed English writer to a past genera
tion and are now espoused by a
French financier, have their basis
deep in human nature. 1t will not
be long before the most impractical
employers begin to realize that the
monotony bred by enforced silence is
not always conducive to greater out
put and is on the contrary breeding
lower workmanship.

whatsoever tl.lsa axe honest
whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good
report, If there be any virtue,
and II there be any praise, think
on these things"
The Inter Ocean points out that to-
day two courses are open to any
newspaper One is straight, honest,
candid, truthful and clean. This
brings slow increase in circulation
and gradually wins the respect of
advertisers, but it makes the paper
an object of ridicule TO those who
worship the yellow journalism of to-
day. The other course is to out
shrek the yellow scavengers and
scandal-mongers. This is as easy as
lying, in which it chiefly consists" !"
the editor tartly adds.
1t is certain that any paper which
panders without conscience to every
passing whim of the multitude, one
which stirs up discomfort and envy
and class hatred viii always have a
following. The easiest thing in the
world is to muckrake, and be flam-
buoyantly sensational, especially if
no regard is paid to truth and de-
cency.
Recently story appeared in a
Denver paper which illustrates this
point. A dispatch from town in
the western part of the state told of
dance staged in bathing pool by
society people. No newspaper man
could have read that story without
feeling that it was fake" The
earmarks of vivid, unclean imagin-
alton were all over the account. 1t
was reflection upon the good name
of Colorado city, nor did it in one
particular meet with Pau's require
ments as to being honest or true or
pure or lovely or of good report.
There seems to have been no fact
upon which to base the article. Yet
it passed muster and was sent into
the homes of Colorado for boys and
girls to read.
The legitimate function of news
paper is to print the uncolored news.
There is an honest difference of opin-
ion as to how much Of evil should be
given the public and in what man
nef. One great newspaper has its
motto: "All the news that's fit to
print" Others are less scrupulous.
One or two papers go SO far as to
eliminate entirely all stories II
crime.
The Republican believes that IN en-
tering a home newspaper should
observe the proprietes which obtain
in wholesome civilized life. No faith
er would permit as guest an IN
scrpulous, blatant, foul-mouthed
scandal-monger. Any newspaper
which in general exhibits these quail
\ tiles is unworthy to be received day
after day for young people to peruse.

The Right Materials

Bear in mind that the best materials
make the best food.
A soft Winter wheat pastry -four is as
necessary for cakes as for biscuits. In fact,
it should always be used with baking
powder, as it absorbs moisture more
readily than hard Spring wheat bread
-four, which contains much slow dissolving
gluten. If bread -four is used for cake, one
must use at least one-third more moisture
than is called for by the recipe, for all
cake recipes are written for pastry -four.
A great deal of the uncertainty of cake
baking is eliminated by using a double
raise baking powder such as X c.. The
batter need not be hurried into the oven,
nor need n be careful about slamming
the oven door, or jarring the stove. X G
is really a blend of two baking powders,
one of which commences TO raise as soon
as moisture is added; the other is inactive
until heat is applied, SO that the raising is
sustained against all danger of falling until
the cake is baked.
Cane sugar is always to be preferred for
cakes, because beet sugar is hard to dis
solve and is likely to sink to the bottom
or stick around the edges of the pan,
making an imperfect cake.
If impossible to get graduated cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamed.
The Brookings register. [volume] (Brookings, Brookings County, S.D.) 1903-1971, 1913-01-30
Mixinp

The -four and baking powder having
been measured and sifted, measure out the
sugar and butter and cream together. If
the butter is cold and firm, warm the
sugar slightly in the oven. After dreaming
the butter and sugar, separate the yolks
from the whites of the eggs and with a
rotary egg beaten, cream the yolks until
light lemon colored and very creamy. Add
this to the butter and sugar, and blend
all together. Now add a little of the water
or milk and stir it in thoroughly; then a
little flour, stirring it in thoroughly; then
more moisture and more flour alternately,
stirring each time until all the -four and
moisture are in the batter, when it should

Baking

|. One of the most important things about
baking cakes is to have a moderate oven
at the start; in fact, in using a gas, oil or
gasoline stove. it is not necessary to light
the stove until the cake has been put in.
Then there should be a very low flame at
first. After the cake has doubled in bulk,
increase the heat and bake until a brown
crust is formed and the center will respond
to the touch. Never allow a crust to form
over cake before the batter has doubled.
In a wood or coal range, have a very light
fire in the fire box. After the cake is in the
oven, replenish the fire and by the time it
has burned up the batter will have
doubled and is ready for the hot over to
finish it. 1t is impossible to specify the
length of time to bake cakes, for the larger
and thicker the layer, the longer it takes
to bake.

Measure Euerufhinp

1t will save time and many steps if you
will get everything required by the recipe
on your mixing table before starting.
Everything should be measured correctly.
If the recipe calls for sifted -four, sift it
once before measuring. Measure flour by
filling the cup with a spoon. If you dip
the cup into the flour, it will pack and there
is danger of over measuring. Measure the
rounding or heaping teaspoonfuIs, accord,
ing to the recipe. Sift the -four and baking
powder together three times in order to get
them thoroughly mixed, so that the cake
will raise evenly; also to loosen up the -four.
