CAKE MAKING.

The evolution of cake making has
changed the old, tedious process of
Dreaming butter, adding the sugar
gradually or dreaming both together.
Now, a good cake may be made in
half the time it took to cream the
butter and sugar. Putting all the in
gradients together as follows: Break
in the eggs, add the sugar, warmed
butter, a little flour, then all of the
milk, and flour with the baking pow
der, the beating coming after all the
mixing is done Beat we'll for five
minutes with large Dover egg beat
er, and turn into the pan. Water may
be used instead of milk, with scarcely
any difference in the quality of. the
cake. The butter must not be melted
to destroy the grain, but simply soft
ened enough so that it will be readily
mixed.
Fhe old-fashioned one, two, three,
four cake is the mother of all the
butter cakes. Sponge cake is the
foundation for jelly rolls, lady fingers,
angel and sunshine cakes.
An even teaspoonful of baking pow
der to a cup of -four is sufficient for
all cakes with eggs. An excess of
baking powder not only makes
coarse-grained cake but one which
drys out very quickly.
The shape in which the cake is to
be baked should decide the amount
of flour to be used. Layer cakes or
small cakes baked in gem pans re-
quire less -four than loaf cakes.

NICE DISHES FOR COMPANY.

There is no reason for making more

POWDER IN THE DEEP SEA

1t Is calculated that in the depths Of
the sea, under 5000 meters of water,
there is a stratum Of powder so in
finitely fine that, were it broken in
the fingers, it would penetrated the
pores OF the skin, this powder being
made up of the remains of shells and
the skeletons of little animals and
plants Each cubic centimeter of slime
Cor mudD that covers the bottom of
the ocean. according to Harper's
Weekly, contains the remains of ten
thousand millions of organisms. each
one of which is structurally as indi-
vidual as the human body.

Pretty Bureau Cover.

A pretty way to cover bureau top
is to take a piece of cretonne of a
pretty pattern the same size as the top
and lay over this a pane of glass the
same SIZE Dust may be easily and
quickly wiped of, thus dispensing with
the linen cover which must be so Of
ten Numbered. Wall paper with a
pretty pattern of roses or violets might
be used in place of the cretonne. The
edges of the glass should be rounded
and smoothed.

Formerly. in order to express the
sign of addition, the Latin word plus
(more) was abbreviated to p, which

Two Color Suits.

New coat and skirt suits have the
coat of one color and skirt Of an
other. though skilfully combined and
obviously made to wear together.
Thus a skirt Of blush gray may have

and cuffs Of gray. The effect is smart
with the added advantage for stout
people Of the darker coat, which makes

Only Success Worth Winning.

There is nothing base in failure, but
base failure; there is nothing good in
success but that which is we'll won.
The applause of triumph is mock
ery to him who has not deserved his
success; if anything of conscience re-
mains to him such applause must be
a positive torture. We always know
in our hearts whether we have mer-
tied that which comes to US, and it is
always sweetened hundredfold when
we know that we really have done
something fair and true for 1t.

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Feb. 2.-William
Reidy. Cleveland man, managing the
San Francisco club of the Pacific Coast
League. has resigned his position as
manager, and will devote himself in the
future to digging up talent for some of
the major league clubs.
Reidy took the step because of the
desire of Cal Ewing. owner of the
Seals. to install Praying manager. He
and Reidy have had several long con-
ferences. at the end of which it was de-
cided that Reidy should resign his po-
sition and accept an offer. received from
some big league magnates. to act as
scout.

.AD WOLGAST SAYS
He BEAT MURPHY
Return Match Between the Two
Creates Favorable Talk
Among Ring Followers. :

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. 24.-There
was much talk today OF a return
match between Ad wolgast and Har-
lem Tommy Murphy. and 1t may be
that the next fight in San Francisco
will be between these two great light
weights. Wolgast. as usual claims
he should have received the decision.
as he delivered the most punishing
blows. He declared he can whip Muir
ply If in good condition. And he says,
what Is tire. that he wasn't in perfect
shape for yesterdays ffght. as he put
in only five days Of actual training.
As il was.0there is no question that
his blows had far greater steam than
Murphy's and with better recuperative
power, which would have come with
longer training, 1t may be that he
could have overcome the Harlem boy.
While Wolsast often missed swings
at infghting ne showed flashes of
his old time dash.
Promoter Coffroth would be eager
to secure a return match. as yester-
days fkht drew one Of the largest
crowds he ever had In MS arena.
Every seat was occupied and hundreds
were turned away for lack Of stand
ing room. The only thing that will
prevent the match will be Wolgasts
unreasonable demands. He still rates
himself very highly and Is inclined
to ask more than any promoter can
afford to give.

RELAY TO
MEET GEORGETOWN

DESPITE all rumors to y. the con-
trary. the University of Virginia will
enter a one-mile relay team against the
crack Georgetown four at the Hiiitop-
per's big indoor meet, which is to be
held in Convention Hall on next Satur-
day night.
Reports have been in circulation to
the effect that the Charlottesville insti-
tuition would refuse to run one-mile
four On that evening, but Manager Darr
received the positive word of Pop Ian
nigran, Virginia's trainer, at the George
Washington games, that the Blue and
Gold will run the mile race. Although
tie Charlottesville team has not as yet
been definitely picked it is likely. that
Captain Cooke, Guy, Diebolt. and
Wright will be pitted against Horter,
Gallagher. Stebbins. and Terwiliger for
GEORGETOWN, and it would not be sur
prising to sec a new mark established
for the distance, as both teams have
been doing wonderful work in recent
try-outs.
| Georgetown will probably enter a two
mile team, for the first time In many
years. as the University OF North caro-.

Georgetown Believes 1t Has
Track Team to Compare
With Others in Games.

Firm in >he belief that the Track team
will compare favorably with any other
in the country, Georgetown Universlt!
will begin preparations to make a show
ing at the intercollegiate field and track
games which will be held in the Harry
ard stadium this spring.
Seven years ago Georgetown was
forced out of the annual games on ac-
count of the fact that it failed to enter
men. In former years men like Duny,
Wefers, Holland. Minnahan, Lynch,
Reilly, Edmonston, and others of lesser
ability had carried the Blue and Gray
ahead many times.
The showing this season has warrant
ed the belief that Georgetown could
measure up to the standard OF other
track teams in the East and the ath-
Ietic council at the Hilltop has made
application for membership which has
been favorably acted upon.
The outdoor games this spring VIII
find the Blue and Gray pointing its men
for the big affair which comes off the
latter part of May. The men who have
been carrying everything before them
in the indoor meets this winter are ex-
Dected to show enough ability to give
the other men in the East a great
battle when they stack up for the
intercollegiate title.
