Executive Gives Ideas on

IN TALk WITH LEADERS
President Declares Hostile Feel
ing Has No Place in Program
of New Legislation.

Washington, Jan. 14.-At two con-
ferences. one this forenoon with demo-
Gratis of the senate interstate commit
tee, the second this afternoon with
democrats of the house judiciary COM
mittee. Presidens Wilson discussed
trust legislation. 1t is said the presi-
dents forthcoming message satisfies
the views of every member of the
cabinet.
Peace and not war, feeling OF
friendly conciliation rather than of
hostile antagonism and yet con-
structive program that will eliminate
uncertainty about the law and stim.i
late the growth of legitimate bust
ness-these are the fundamentals of
the presidents plan of action, 10 be
embodied in the message which he
will read at a joint meeting of con-
gress next week.
Message as Guide.
While the president has not yet re-
vealed his views on detailed legisla-
ton, he hopes that his message will
be guiding influence that will keep
the scope of activity within a we'll
defined compass, eliminating so far as
possible any congestion of radical
bills that might be misinterpreted by
the outside world.
So far as is known the cardinal
features of the presidents plan are,
/. Supplementing the Sherman anti
trust law to reduce the debatable
area around it.
2. The prohibiting OF inter-iock-
ing directorates.
3. Location of individual RESPONSE
bility and the fixing of personal guilt
for all violations
4. The creation OF an interstate
trade commission to perform the func-
tions not only of bereau of informa-
tion but to determine by its invesuga-
tions whether DEGREES of dissolution
or mandates of the court are carried
out.
The president is proceeding on the
theory that legislation is necessary
at this time and that there should be
no delay in accomplishing those re-
forms on which public sentiment is
agreed
Cite Morgan's Action.
The recent action of J. P. Morgan
and company in voluntarily withdraw
ing from numerous directorates on
account of change in public senti-
nent" is cited by administration sup
porters as evidence that the business
world expects inter-locking director
ates to be dissolved. In this connec-
ton, Mr.. Wilson believes the whole
course of public opinion has under
gone a remarkable change in the last
few years.

giving an ample dose of serum. After
the injections are made, the hogi
should be turned into a clean yard

SANDWICHES THAT ARE FINE
With Little Preparation They May
Be Made Choice Morsels Fit for
Any Afternoon Tea.

An ingenious woman who prides her
self on her sandwiches bakes the
bread in round tin cans from which
she has removed vegetables. When
she wants an especially small and
dainty sandwich she uses large-sized
baking powder cans. The slices
from the round loaves make dainty
sandwiches.
To make perfumed butter sand
wiches, both the bread and butter must
be scented. The butter pats, wrapped
in thin cheesecloth, or the thlnnest
Of cotton, are put in a china bowl
lined with blossoms of flowers. More
blossoms are then heaped over the
butter. Then the cover is put on Sc
curely. that 1t may be airtight, and the
bowl is put in a cool place. The loaves
Of bread are also treated in the same
fashion.
Take crisp new potatoes, slice even
ly, and spread over them finely minced
celery and mayonnaise dressing. Place
this mixture between triangles OF
homemade Dread.
Prepare a French dressing and dip
into it slices of cucumber peeled. Lay
these between slices of thin white
bread, buttered. Prepare these sand
wiches only short while before they
are to be eaten or they will become
soggy.
A sweet pepper sandwich is a dell
cate bit to serve for luncheon, and is
made by spreading between slices of
bread filling made Of peppers and
Neuchatel or cream cheese. Chop
he peppers very fine and mix them
with cheese and few drops of olive
oil or with q little rich sweet cream
Use in the proportion of one-third pep
per to two-thirds cheese.
Use thin slices Of wheat bread, but
tered, cut in heart shape. Between
each two slices place layer of Neuf
chatel cheese mixed to paste with
equal quantities Of cream and salad
dressing, and cover with chopped
olives.
Take the leftover bit of potato salad
add to it some minced cold boiled
ham and spread 1t beween slices o
buttered bread.
Lettuce with a layer Of horseradisl
on either side and placed on we'll but
tered bread makes an excellent sand
