STILL WORK LEFT FOR EXPLORERS
5 IS COMMONLY supposed that

VT IS COMMONLY supposed that little unex- 1 pIored area is left on. the earth s surface save in the polar regions, and that adventurous men like Theodore Roosevelt will soon find nothing left to discover But when one looks up the unexplored regions of the earth, it is found that there is work still left for the ex- plorers. Alaska has an unknown section as big as New England There are unexpIored regions in South America, Asia, and upper Canada as big as California or Texas.
 The Sahara desert of Africa was formerly great splotch of white on the maps It was regarded as yalueless. It was long argued assa feasible project, that water be let in to flood it. Further exploration showed the absurdity of this theory, by demonstrating that it has noun tains mile high, with much elevated table land.
 n this supposedly valueless tract there are great oases, one of which alone has 100000 date palms Considerable areas can be made productive by planting with coarse grasses and tenacious varieties of trees.
 The world wide search for rubber is lead ing to further search in the South American wilds Perhaps the Roosevelt party may have found it. Very likely better knowledge of South America may yet reduce the high price Eof automobile tires, and make it possible to sell rubber overshoes having some substance.
 It is a costly matter to fit out expeditions to explore these wilds. The results are uncertain and the governments of the world are not much inclined toward it. The work depends on the scientific curiosity and love for adventure shown by such men as MT. Roosevelt. There will be much interest to learn whether his ex- petition which has just reached the sea coast. has found resources of value to the world.

lNQUIRlNG INTO
 C0RNW ALL'S DEATH.
Coroner to Resume Hearing This AfternOoIl-Ad dditionaI Witnesses Secured.

-E
 Additional testimony is to be intro duced this afternoon when Coroner John J. Phelan resumes the hearing over the death of John Cornwall " who= was mysteriously injured on the night. of May g, on Crescent avenue, and who later died in the Bridgeport hospital as the result of these injuries.
 At the hearing on Wednesday. wit nesses testified that Cornwall was in- toxicated at the time he was found beside the wall, paralyzed and with a broken neck. It was also testified by several witnesses that they had seen Cornwall fall at various times on the street earlier in the evening. How ever, medical men declare that it would have been impossible for man to trip and fall and receive the in juries from which he died.
 Harold M. Johnson, a clerk in the employ of the c. K Bishop company testified that he saw two men assist Cornwall up the street and reaching the point near Murray's saloon lay him down beside the wall.
 Many important witnesses that may be able to throw light on the subject, have been secured by the coroner, and it is thought that If there is any evil dence of foul play it will be brought out in the testimony this afternoon. One important point is that people re- siding on Crescent avenue saw two men walk hastily down thel street a short time before Cornwall was found or the extent of his injuries were as- certained.
 < An important witness was located last night by Detective Peter Hall in the person of James A. Douglas of s 5 Crescent avenue. Douglas declares that as he was walking down Harriet street about s:15 that night. he saw a
 man lying in the street. He hurried to render assistance. and with the aid of another man picked him up and assisted him to his feet, He then de- parted, leaving Cornwall with the un- known man.

REGULATING PUBLIC DANCES

xxYI YIDESPREAD EFFORTS are being made " " by social workers this fall to put efforts seem to be popular, as Cleveland's SUI pervised three cent dance halls had an attend 2 ance of 457, 900 dancers since they were started two years ago
 It is natural for young folks to dance. as for girls to play dolls and boys marbles. But when the only qualification for entrance to these resorts is the possession of a dime or some other coin, there needs to be authority. over them as strong as a policemans club, and as discriminating as q WoInans intuition.
 Miss Jane Addams said in a recent La dies Home Journal article, that the majority Iof Chicago dance halls closely connected with saloons and are largely a scheme to make ia market for liquor. She had heard of girls who were held at these dances while liquor was poured down their throats. No wonder that the woman policeman is finding job in many places, with these forces of peril to be |dealt with.

EDITORIAL NOTES

Ambassador Page says that writing is as work gambling. Most people, though, are sure to get their manuscripts back if they enclose stamps.
 Great pains are being taken nowadays to teach swimming, and no doubt most young peo- pie will learn this summer except those who expect to be sailors and fishermen.
 Prunes will be higher this year, owing to a partial crop failure. Perhaps they. will look better to the boarders now.

Fruit Pudding's the Thing
For Thanksgiving Feast
BY CAROLINE Coz.

The Thanksgiving pudding like the
Christmas pudding will be all the
better II 1t has plenty of time to
"ripen,' that is, grow rich and mel
low.
So II should be made at least 10
days before the holiday. Suet pud-
ding we'll filed with nuts and fruit
is rich dish and suitable for feast
day. 1t will be no trouble to warm 1t
for the Thanksgiving dinner II it's put
back In the baking powder can IN
which IL was first boiled or steamed
and dropped into the kettle In which
the potatoes are being cooked. This
saves time and lessons the numbers
OF pans and kettles'' to be washed
after dinner.
This is good recipe for suet pud-
ding
To l cup OF chopped suet add 1
teaspoon OF mixed ground spices. Mix
thoroughly. Add cup OF molasses,
cup OF sweet milk, 1-2 teaspoons Of
salt. Sift teaspoon Of soda with 3
cups of -four.
Chop / cup of raisins, OF dates,
and 1-2 cup OF figs--break into pieces
IL cup OF walnut meats. Put these
into dry -four and mix. Turn -four
and fruit into first mixture. Turn
into we'll creased, perfectly tight bak-
Ing powder cans. FIJI can % full,
cover and steam 3 hours.

CARVING THE BIRD

Bring the king OF birds" to the
table on roomy platter, the big
ger II is the better.
Father" or whoever sits at the
head of the Thanksgiving table
and carves will find 1t much cas-
Ter to manipulate his knife and
fork II the turkey rests on a large
platter. II he has plenty of room
he can place the fork firmly in the
breast of the bird, and on the firm
ness OF this grip depends the sue
cess Of the carving.
The wing from the nearer side
should first be discovered by a
cash OF the knife underneath the
socket. This may be accomplish
ed with one single cut.
The first and second joints sep
arated and the second joint sep
arated from the body.
This Is easily done with the
same cut used in separating wing
and slight pressure of the bone
outward The side bone may now
be taken off by running the sharp
blade directly along the back bone
This is attached only by a small
piece OF skin and fat.
When all joints have been TAX
en- of the breast is entirely ex-
posed and further carving is very
simple. Slices OF breast should
be full size and very thin.
Removal of leg opens the cav
ity containing the dressing, and
slice or two of the breast will find
the dressing at the neck.

Make the Table Attractive For Thanksgiving Day
BY CAROLINE coz

Let the children help you set the
Thanksgiving day dinner table. Even
II they are only boys give them a
chance TO learn something about
housework and they will have some
thing TO be truly thankful for.
Give them access 10 the best linen,
company dishes and party silver. DO
not hamper them with don't. Allow
them to display their ideas. The cen
terpiece OF fruit or vegetables will
surely be blended with autumn Der.
ries and leaves which they Will proud.
ly bring home.
Teach them TO make the decora-
lions harmonic and blend with the
appointments OF the dinner and give
them some leeway to exercise lndivid-
uality. OF course, certain rules"
must be adhered TO. but the children
may add beauty and originality.
The silence cloth should be spread
absolutely smooth, and a wise hostess
arranges her own damask CLOTH for a
crease or wrinkle once made is hard
to obliterate. After this is arranged,
give the children full sway (mother
can be kept busy in the kitchen), and
when the wonderful meal is ready TO
be served make It a point for one
child to serve a course. This may be
done very successfully, even II there
are no girls I'm the family.
II the children are allowed TO serve
each course have the dishes on side
table and have them try 10 serve as
easily and quietly as possible.
Napkins should be placed in front
OF the plate, parallel with the edge
OF the table. Knives and spoons
should be placed at right and forks
at left. In order of courses those TO
be first used should be placed farthest
from the plate. Place goblet and but
ter plate at right hand II individual
salts are used. they should be newly
filed and also be placed at right hand.
In the folds of the napkin | ace roll
or square of bread If soup Is to be
served. If not, place the bread on
the butter plate.

ed spots.
