Things to Remember

Always have the cake batter 80 Il win
drop easily from the spoon, adding more
moisture Il the amount called for BY the
recipe doesn't make it soft enough. Cake
batter that is reasonably soft will become
much lighter.
Always use doublc-raise baking powder
to guard against cake falling, and to bo
assured Of light fine-textured cake. KC
Baking Powder is e modern double raise
baking powder, always giving uniform
results: It is baking powder with two
added, and again when heat Is applied.
This sustains the raising until the batter is
cooked, when, of course, it cannot fall.
Yolks and whites Of eggs should be
beaten separately. Use rotary beater
for the yollss and q fat or spoon whip for
the whites.
Never grease tho sides OF the cake tins.
Let the batter stick to the sides and cut il
loose with q knife when baked. This keeps
the layers even. If the sides of the pan are
CREASED, the cake will pull away, making
the top of the layer narrower than the
bottom. and making it impossible to stack
Bear in mind that baked dough cannot
rise. Always start baking with a low fame
or moderate oven, and allow the cake to
double in size before increasing the heat;
then bake with hot oven until the top 10
brown, and the center responds to tho
touch.
To cut cake when still warm or quite
fresh, dip the blade of the knife in hot or
cold water and cut with the damp blade.
This prevents the cake from sticking to
the knife. ~.

gas COMPANY CLAIMS
HUME knew Of deal
Defendant Files Answer to Amended
Bill Alleging Stakeholder
Approved Ownership.
KNOWINGLY TOOK HIS SHARE"

Alleging that the ownership of certain
shares of capital stock of the George
town Gaslight Company by the Wash
ington Gaslight Company was well known
to Thomas L. Hume. the company yester-
day filed its answer to the amended bill
in the suit of the complainant Hume,
and AYERS that the latter not only never
objected thereto, but, on the contrary,
knowingly received his share Of the divi-
dends collected by the defendant com.
pany.
The Washington Gaslight Company
claims that the question of it's rights to
hold stock is one between itself and the
State, and not a right which the COM
plainant is entitled to attack. Defend
ant admits that the shares of the stock
of the Georgetown company held by it
have not been transferred on the books
of the company to the American Security
and Trust Company, but it denies that
the shares were not legally subject to
mortgage. and that they did not pass
under and are bound by its mortgage of
November. 1. 1910 of all its assets to
the American Security and Trust Com
pany to secure its bond issue of S.. zoe, 900
maturing November /, 1850, as alleged
by complainant.
To have transferred the shares to the
trust company, the trustee under the
mortgage, according to defendant, would
have resulted in its payment to the trust
company instead of to the defendant of
the dividends upon the stock to which
neither it nor the holder of the bonds
were entitled, unless or until default
should be made in the payment Of said
mortgage and such transfer would have
constituted to the trust company, the
legal holder of the stock. and could there
by have subjected it under the provisions
Of the charter of the Georgetown Gas
light Company to individual liability for
the debts of that corporation, which liza
bility IL would have been unreasonable %
require il, or any mere trustee, to assume
and for which assumption by 1t there
was no legal or equitable occasion or
cause.

SIGN ATTRACTS CROWDS.
Potomac Power Company's Zuaves
Drilling Is Resumed.

After having been out OF commission
for the rast few weeks on account of
defect in the mechanism operating the
four Zuaves in the massive electrical
sign atop of the old Central National
Bank Building. Pennsylvania Avenue and
Seventh Street Northwest, nightly dis
plays were resumed last evening and at
tracted widespread attention of the
throngs of promenaders up and down
the Avenue.
This sign, erected by the Potomac
Electric Power Company, is the largest
spectacular electrical display sign in the
National Capital. The sign measures
thirty-five feet high and forty-two feet
long.
The artistic value Of the electrical dis
play consists of four figures representing
uniformed Zuaves armed with muskets.
These figures, by intricate mechanical
contrivances, appear to go through the
manual of arms.
The construction of this huge sign has
been under the immediate supervision OF
4. S. NARROW, manager OF the COM
mercial department of the Potomac
Electric Power Company.
