Dear Mrs. Thompson: Please give

Here is one that is a little different
and very good: Make thick apple
sauce, sweeten with sugar, season with
nutmeg. Add pinch of salt and half a
teaspoon of melted butter. Make rich
pie crust and bake it, then fill with
the apple sauce, cover with whipped
cream and serve. Or you can cover
with a neringue and brown in the hot
oven.

I took her downtown to the moving

called me down right before my COM

disdained her from then on. Did she
do the right thing? Should go back

The girl was very inconsiderate.
You will probably be happier if you

HISTORY OF THE POST CARD
Useful Device Really Had Its Origin
In the Romance Of Humble
English Couple.

It was about forty years ago that
M. Raymond Louis Wolowski, we'll
known French politician, who was by
birth a Pole, proposed in the national
assembly that the postal card should
be recognized as a legitimate form
Of correspondence in France and this
was the beginning, as far as ia
known, of the post card as we know
it today.
But the real discovery Of the post
card as means Of correspondence,
it is said, was made long before by
two young lovers living in distant
villages It was at the time before
stamps existed and the receiver Of 8
S55tei paid the charges % the pos;
man. The daughter Of poor farmer
received from time to time letter
from her lover, a soldier, but she was
too poor to pay thhe postage, and
after having examined it intently she
returned it to the postman. On the
envelope were scratched numbers and
figures together with the address.
One day a neighbor, having pity on
the young girl who was too poor to
pay the postage on letters which
came obviously from her lover, Of
fered to pay it The girl refused,
but the neighbor insisted. Once in
possession Of the letter the girl made
no attempt to open it, but stood gaz-
ing at. the envelope, The neighbor
was astonished.
When questioned, the girl replied
"There is nothing written inside the
letter. We are not rich enough, my
fiance and I, to pay the postage Of
our letters, and before he went to this
army we arranged code Language
between us, the signs that you see
traced. on the envelope"
Thus was discovered the post card

CALLS FOR SERIOUS THOUGHT
aaHdiords' Objections to Presence Of
Children Very Much More Than
jeat II 10 Considered.

Tho question of rent-and babies
makes the whole weird kin. The
municipal authorities Of France have
just discovered that there is vital
relation between declining birth
rate and prohibitiye. rentals. The
birth rate in 1913 has been the low
est since 1851 in Paris, because rent
has been soaring sky high. An ad-
dition Do the family means paying
more for lodging or else going into
a less convenient home and into q
cheaper neighborhood.
The municipal authorities in Chi
cago have not yet got to the stage
Of viewing the rent problem from the
child angle. But we are fast COM
ing to it. 1t ia sad truth that ba-
bies are all too frequently considered
superhuous by the owners and build
ers of modern apartment houses.
"Any children ?" is the brisk ques-
ton which the agent pops before he
let's you take look at his up-to-date
fiat If you happen to be guilty OF
a couple Of chubby-faced youngsters
you have to look for a fiat that has
none of the up-to-date conveniences
This is equivalent to saying that you
must stay in the cheaper and dirtie,
neighborhoods Of the city, unless you
can afford and wish to go out to 6
suburb.
The ban which the owners Of thf
up-to-date fats in Chicago are put
ting ON children should be made
more than subject for jest.-Chi'

Predict Great
Run Of Salmon
In Puget Sound
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcHl

SEATTLE. June 5.-Steamship men
report the approach of the annual
Sockeye salmon run, of which this
year is the quadrennial. of the big
run. which was the greatest fish
migration in the world. The fish now
entering the Sound were born four
years ago.
When the first white men came to
the northwest the Indians told them
that this periodical big run bad been
regular as far back as their tribal
legends went. 1t is the Canadian
theory that the fish making up the
big run were Matched in the Frazer
river and grew to maturity off the
west coast of Vancouver island.
Four years ago so many traps We're
set for mature fish that few were
able to enter the Frazer, and the
Canadians insisted that the big run
Of 1913 would be a failure. Hence the
international interest in the size OF
the approaching herds of salmon.

New Dissolution Plan.

ST. PAUL, June 5.-Tentative plans
for the dissolution of the Union and
Southern Pacific railroads were sub
mitted today before Judges Sanborn,
Hook and Smith, in the United States
circuit court by attorneys for the Union
Pacific
An order was filed fixing a date of
hearing for June IL at St. Paul. The
two plans differ materially from the
schemes submitted last April. one
plan provides for the sale Of the South
ern Pacific stock owned by the Union
Pacific by public subscription at the
minimum prices.
The second amended plan embodied
in the petition filed today disqualifies
all Union Pacific stockholders from
converting any certificates or interest
acquired by them in Southern Pacific
stock by requiring every applicant for
conversion to make an affidavit that
he owns no Union Pacific stock.
The plan informally submitted in
April also provides for issues of GER
tificates of interest similar to the sec
ond amended plan filed today, except
that the former plan disqualified only
those who held Union Pacific shares to
the amount Of one thousand shares or
more
The plans submitted today supersede
the tentative plans placed before the
