But splendid work by policemen, who
dubbed back the crowd, kept the
way clear. Otherwise the two men

AS h two men fell across the line
an excited spectator rushed at James

protested that McCurdy had been
fouled, but Sullivan waved him away
and declared the English team the
winner. There was not the slightest
ground for protest, the referee said.

Of using extra bread crumbs:
Bread crumb Biscuit--Soak asquart
of crumbs in a quart of milk for three
hours. Then add a bali cup of melted
shortening and enough flour to stiffen,
two ~teaspoonfuls OF baking powder, a
teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful
of sugar with two we'll beaten eggs.
If dropped in we'll creased gem pans
they may be quite soft and are better
made in that manner

onions, scoop out a t~easpoonful from
the center of each, fill with butter,
salt and seasoning of pepper; put in
a baking dish and add a little water.
Bake until brown. When the onions

Skin half n dozen; sardines and lay
them on the quarters of onion. Serve
with French or a boiled dressing.
Dreamed Carrots With Peas.-Cook
