PANKHURST CROWD
IS DISAPPOINTMENT
Instead Of 10000 Less Than
5000 People Attend.

New York, Oct. 22.-There was dis
appointment for Mrs. Emmeline Pank
hurst, the militant leader from Lon
don who was released from Ellis is
land Monday. and signs of regret
from the Madison Square garden man
agement, when Mrs. Pankhurst came
upon the stage Of the garden to make
her first public appearance of her
present tour before an audience that
in point of numbers fell far below ex
pectations.
Far up in the highest of the CALLER
ies. where the seats sold for fifty
cents, there were few vacant spots
to be seen. In the dollar seats on the
tier below. only a fraction Of the
chairs were taken. The Sl.50 seats
back Of the boxes held only a straggl
ing contingent, and of the great oval
of boxes around the arena only four
of the boxes were occupied before
Mrs. Pankhurst was introduced.
The main floor Of the garden had
been solidly paved with chairs in
close rows selling at $3.50 and So
The small section of $3.50 seats d.
rectly in front Of the platform were
fairly we'll filed but on the entire
floor there were perhaps three times
as many empty chairs as there were
occupied seats.
Instead of a crowd of about "12 200,
which members of the garden forces
had said during the afternoon. could
be seated-some put 1t higher-there
was not more than three thousand
persons in the great building. Many
who have had experience in iudgine
the size of audiences put the number
at lower than three thousand.

Between Ambassador Page and Sill
Edward Grey Shows Our Govern
ment More Isolated Than Ever
Europe May Follow Great Britain.
Washington, Oct. 22.-Further ad
vices from London made it clear that
the president and Secretary Bryan
can hope for no more support, moral
or otherwise, from Great Britain in
their Mexican policy. The important
indications are that the United States
soon will be more than ever isolated
in her. attitude toward Mexico.
A more detailed account of the in
terview between Ambassador Page
and Sir Edward Grey, British minister
of foreign affairs, has reached Wash.

according to information reaching
here that the only point regarding
Mexico, on which the governments OF
Great Britain and the United States
are in entire agreement, are the de-
sire that peace shall return to Mexi
CO. On the immediate questions OF
policy in regard to Mexico the two
governments take opposite stands.

Sir Edward told MT. Page that his

its course of recognition of the Huerta
government is the only proper course

Garden, British minister to Mexico
had done in Mexico City.
News of the negative results of Am.
bassador Pages attempt to sound out
the British government and gain sup.
port abroad for the Wilson policy in
Mexico was regarded here as Of a
most significant character. The pre-
diction was made that from now on
Great Britain will be found leading all
the powers Of Europe interested in
Mexico in the matter of their policy
toward that country. The interests
OF France, Germany. Spain and other
countries are almost identical with
those of Great Britain.

The Right Materials

Bear in mind that the best materials
make the best food.
A soft Winter wheat pastry flour 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
flour, which contains much slow dissolying
gluten. Nbrcad flour 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 flour.
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 one be careful about slamming
the oven door, or Earring the stove. X G
is really q 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 granulated cane
sugar, then as the next best thing, buy bar
sugar. This is very fine and easily creamcd.

taken there was a petition
signed by q large number oil
business men, presented to The
council about two years ago
asking the council to do certair
things and the council refused
to accede to their demand.
Subsequent development prov
I'd that the council was right.
No apology.
Some business council had
gotten the city in such a HI
IT a fix financially, that the

Baking

One Of the most important things about
baking cakes is to have moderate oven
at the start; in fact, in using a gas, oil or
gasoline stove, it is not necessary to light
lthc stove until the cake has been put in.
Then there should be very low flame at
first. After the cake has doubled in bulk.
increase the heat and bake until brown
crust is formed and the center will respond
to the touch. Never allow q crust to form
over cake before the batter has doubled.
In wood or coal range, have very light
fire in the fire box. After the cake is i1ffhc
oven, rcplcnish the fire and by the time it
has burned up the batter will have
doubled and is ready for the hot oven 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
Ito bake.

Mixing

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

Everything should be measured correctly.
If the recipe calls for sftcd -four, silt It

ing to the recipe. Sift the flour 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 flour.

be beaten until smooth and glossy. If the
whites of the eggs are to be used, beat these
with a fiat or spoonwhip until they stiff
enough to stand up. putting them in last.
A little salt added to the whites of eggs
helps in the beating. If yolks of eggs are
not used, add the moisture and flour
to crcaned butter and sugar
and add the whites last. Where much more
sugar than butter is used, as in Orange
Cake, half of the sugar may be beaten into
the yolks of the eggs.
