EIGHT IN TIE COMMITTEE

ALBANY. Feb. 3.--The Republican lcgis-
lators who were in conference tonight
agreed to adopt n resolution In the As
sembly tomorrow authorizing Speaker
Thaddeus G. sweet TO name "A committee
OF eight Assemblymen to conduct an in
vestigation of the state Highway De-
partment and recommend legislation to
check waste and graft. The resolution
also empowers tho committee IF the
public interest requires" to investigate
other departments of the state.
As soon as the resolution is adopted
Speaker Sweet will name five Republicans,
two Democrats and Progressive as the
Assembly Legislative Committee" which
will be organized by electing a chairman
and vice-chairman. The committee is
empowered to sit within and without the
city of Albany.
James w. Osborne special investigator,
announced tonight that he would send
two more OF the SlS Foley good roads
repair contracts to the Grand Jury. Both
are In Warren county.
While the subject OF counsel was not
discussed at the Republican conference
there is a general feeling among the As
Oemhly men that District Attorney Whit
man should be consulted and that per
haps one of his assistants should be
named to conduct the inquiry. John a.
Hennessy is also favored 10y many as an
Investigator for the committee.
Mr.. suffers speech.
In his maiden speech as a 1914 As
oemblyman to-day William Sulzer urged
speedy action by the Republicans to the
end that a statewide graft inquiry be
begun, and declared that Mr.. Whitman
should be called into the councils and
that Mr.. Hennessy should also receive
consideration because OF his successful
Investigations for Mr. Sulzer in the high
way and other departments.
Mr.. Sulztr pointed out that as a result
Of Mr.. Hennessys activities many indict-
ments have been found and several per-
sons convicted of crime.
The Assembly defeated a motion by
Progressive Leader Michael Schaap early
in the day which would have brought he
fore the House for consideration his
resolution providing for a statewide in
vestigation by AN Assembly committee,
the expenses OF which. he said. would be
betrayed by private citizens. Mr..
Schaap declared that the Assembly wac

EnqaQement Etiquette.

An engaged girl should write to her
personal friends to tell them the news,
while her mother writes to older rela-
tives and friends.
Letters Of congratulate in answer
to these should be written as soon as
possible.
Young girls do not write to their
men friends to congratulate them on
all engagement. They either congratu-
late them personally or not at all.
1t is considered extremely bad form
for engaged couples to be too demon
strative in public. They should try to
be as natural and unaffected as pos
sible. so as to avoid causing embar-
rassment to others.
The engagement ring should always
be worn once 1t has been placed in
position. 1t Is useful as friendly
warning to any unwary and Oversus.
ceptible admirers.
Those who invite engaged couples to
their houses should make a point Of
sending them down to dinner together
and Of doing all In their power to show
that they recognize and approve of the
engagement

MOODY REBELLED.
Moving a Vote Of Thanks Was Not In
His Line That Night.


His Line That Night.
Dwight l.. Moody during his first
risit to England attended meeting at
which the Earl Of Shaftesbury was
chairman. The duty Of proposing a
vote of thanks was assigned to him
and the announcement made:
"Our American cousin. the Rev. Mr..
Moody of Chicago. will now move a
vote Of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion"
The whole thing was quite out of
Mr.. Moody's line. With an utter dis
regard Of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce
ment:
1.-THE speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with. I'm not the Rev.
Mr.. Moody at all. I'm plain Dwight
L. Moody. Sunday school worker
And then I'm not your American
cousin. By the grace Of God I'm your
brother. interested with you In our Fa
theirs work for his children.
"And now about this vote Of thanks
to the noble earl for being our chair
man this evening" don't see why
we should Thank him any more than
be should thank US. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr.. Lincoln
for presiding over a meeting In Illinois
he stopped It He said he'd tried to do
bis duty and they'd tried to do theirs.
he thought 1t was about an even thing
all around"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. Moody's hearers. Such
a talk could not be gagged by any
known standard. Mr.. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labOrs.

Apple Dumphnss
PAPER Boqqed

2 cups sifted pastry flour u teaspoonful salt
2 level teaspoonfuls X G Baking Powder
About u to cup milk 4 cup shortening
Cinnamon or nutmeg Sugar
Sift together, three times, the -four, bak-
ing powder and SALT work in the ehortening
and mix to dough with milk as needed:
roll into square sheet one-third inch tlick
and cut into four pieces. Lay cored and
pared apple on each piece, fill the center
with sugar and cinnamon, then draw up the
dough to cover the apple; make smooth and
place in a well-buttered paper bag, giving
plenty OF space in the bag for the dumplings
to rise. In using the bags, oil the entire
inner surface, have the seam side up and
pin mouth OF the bag securely. Place the
bag on a shallow pan. Have slow oven
when the bag is placed in the oven and
increase heat later. I find the most fire.
quent mistake in using bags is to have the
oven too hot. 1t takes much less heat to
bake in paper bag than in the open oven.
To determine when the apple dumping is
baked, make small hole in the top Of the
bag and test with fork. You will find
apple dumplings baked in bags are delicious,
the pastry being very. light and soft. So
often apple dumplings baked in the old way
in the open oven have q very hard crust.
Serve dumplings with cream or Hard
Sauce.

General Rules for Pape, Bag Baking

General Rules for Paper Bag Baking
/. Use only bags especially made for
cooking.
?. Always grease the entire inside sur
face of the bag for meats and pastries.
8. Lay bag on the pan seam side up.
4. Always pin the mouth Of the bag
securely.
5. In a gas oven place the bag on the
CRATE Of the broiler pan, placing the
broiler pan in the upper oven.
6. Above all don't have a hot oven;
it burns the bag and makes it brittle and
easily broken. Have slow even heat
for bag cooking. Remember food cooked
in bags will cook more quickly and with
less hea'.
z. All kinds of meat, fish and fowl are
excellent cooked in bags, all the natural
flavor and juices being retained. Place
the meat, fish or fowl in the we'll oiled bag,
using the oven directions above. Allow
Is minutes to each pound.
8. For all kinds of pastry, recon-
mend the use of X G Baking Powder,
especially where slow baking is required.
K G is really q blend of two baking pow
ders, one of which acts as soon as mois-
ture is added; the other is inactive until
heat is applied; the two together keep up
a sustained raise until the dough is thor
oughly cooked, insuring light, fine tex.
tured biscuits, pastry and cakes and
all danger Of falling.

SEEK RICHES IN METEoRITE
English Expedition Will Go 70 Rr.aL
Up Big Stone Believed to Have
Fallen From Moon.

An expedition is shortly starting
nom England for Disco island. off the
coast of Greenland, with the object Of
breaking up and bringing away the
big meteorite there.
1t weighs over 100 tons, and the
theory is that 1t was projected on to
this earth from the moon countless
years ago.
fragments of 1t have already been
carried away and assayed, with the
result that 1t has been found to con.
tain iron, copper and silver. besides
rarer metals, including polonium
Now poEonium is cousin Of rad,um
Hence the expedition. The orcori
Eers OF 1t argue that if they can only
extract from the meteorite even a
small fraction of an ounce of radium
their fortunes are made.

REAL INVENTOR OF SEXTANT
Thomas Godfrey Of Philadelphia ls the
Man to Whom tho HonorsProp-
erly Belongs.

One of the earliest Of Americas
"self-made" men was Thomas God
frey, who invented the sextant. God.
frey, born In 1704, was humble gla-
zier, but man of intellectual force.
John Hadley also invented a sex
tant, evidently carrying out sug-
gestion of Newton which was found
in Sir lsaacs original draft among
Hadley's papers after his death.
Godfrey antedated Hadley by about
one year, but for a long time his
claims were not recognized, and Had.
ley received all the credit
How the humble glazier received his
first inspiration to design the instru
ment of so great use to mariners is
an interesting story.
One day, while replacing a pane OF
glass In window of a house on the
north side Of Arch street, In Philadel
phia, opposite a pump, girl, after
filling her pail placed it upon the
sidewalk,
Godfrey, on turning toward it, saw
the sun reflected from the window
on which he had been at work into
the bucket Of water, and his philo
sophie mind seizing upon the incident
was thus led to combine the plan ot
an instrument by which he could draw
the sun down to the horizon by g
contrivance incomparably superior te
any that had ever before been useC
for the purpose Of ascertaining angu

PH|N'S GOOD LUCK
BY GEORGE MUNSON.

Phineas Kelly was accustomed to
see "a look in tn old womans eye," as
ne phrased 1t, when he came home to
his tea after eight hours Of peaceful
employment as bricklayer. Years of
practise had enabled him to interpret
1t accurately. 1t meant, "lie low,
Phineas, for things have been at'sixes
and sevens all day"
On such occasions Phineas, good,
honest man that he was, would slip
out quietly after tea to the corner
saloon, where he would sit talking pol.
itics and domestics with his cronies
over glass or two, till the time came
to retire home, strictly sober, and pre-
pared to find that the odd and even
numerals had Strengthened themselves
out during his absence.
On this occasion there was an alto.
gether different look in Mary's eye.

more cordial friendship than ever

Nevertheless Phineas did manage to
