TO MAKE GOOD SOUPS
MATTER THAT IS WORTHY OF

No More Trouble to Prepare Than
Other -Thinss--Directions
for Two Stocks.

Someone has said that soup is to
the dinner what the overture Is to the
opera. and most assuredly a good hot
plate Of soup is not only grateful but
appetizing, putting us in good humor
for the rest Of the dinner.
Soup is not really a troublesome
food to prepare and Is certainly an
economy, as it makes a profitable use
of bits and scraps that might other.
wise find their way to the garbage can.
There are five or six hundred varie-
ties OF soup which can be classified as
purees, thick soups, broths and clear
soups; the foundation Of all being
either fish or meat stock.
For the making of stock we should
regularly set aside bones OF meat, poul.
try, game or nsh. but this latter must
be put in separate dish; bits of girls.
tie, sinew, raw or cooked meat, necks,
hearts and gizzards of game or poul'
try; rinds and trimmings Of salt meat
and the liquor in which meat or fowl
has been boiled. We must, however,
be careful not to put in fat, potatoes
or cabbage.
This stock is used for purees.
broths and thick soups, but for con.
somme you must use fresh, uncooked
juicy meat and fresh vegetables in
making the stock.

The taxicab rolled under the porte
cochere. The chauffeur opened the
door. Doctor Eastman stepped out,
and. disdaining his offered hand, his
companion slipped hastily past him
and ran into the house. He was so
close at her heels that Doctor Widdle,
who had been appraised of their arrival
and was coming down the corridor to
meet them. saw them standing to-
gether. ts~ i"t
We'll, well, well. my bonny Jean!"
cried the grizzled doctor, as he took
Miss Trimble into his ample embrace.
Thought you'd come and see your
old uncle, eh?" @y1a ---'e .r a@.
''Uncle?" muttered the distracted
Eastman: the mans carrying the farce

you. but-where Is Miss Trimble?"
Here" replied the young doctor,
feebly., d. 49, g..
The girl turned a pink face from
Doctor Widdle's shoulder. "Oh. Uncle
Sam, I've. had-such dreadful time!
This-this man entered my taxi while
I was waiting for Tom, and under
pretense Of being a real estate agent
he has driven me hereof all places
in the world where would be safest!
He's as insane as he can be-"
Doctor Widdle looked from the doc
tors handsome Indignant countenance
to the disturbed lovely one on his
shoulder.
Then a deep rumbling roar Of
laughter echoed through the long cor
ridor of the sanatorium. 80 he
thought you were Margaret Trimble?
Bless my soul, but that is good
joke!"
It was some time before Doctor.
Eastman really understood what had
happened, and how he, through a
stupid mistake, had entered the taxi
cab Of Miss Jean Widdle, niece Of the
great specialist, who was waiting for
her brother Tom, who was In shop
farther down the street.
Then what has become of Miss
Margaret Trimble?" asked Doctor
Eastman.
Before Doctor Widdle could frame
reply a nurse came in and reported
that Jonas Smith wanted to talk to
the specialist. HE telephones that
his ward, Miss Trimble, sailed for
Europe this morning. He has just dis
covered her flight"
Doctor Eastman was left alone with
Jean Widdle. Both stared out Of the
window; then, as If aware that more
agreeable views might be had within
the room, as by one accord their eyes
turned until they met in long gaze.
Il hope you will forgive me-" plead
ed the doctor, penitently.
YES" said Jean. gently. "Of
course, it was not your fault. and.

Doctor Eastman Joined her mirth,
but he registered resolve that later
on he would tell her that, although
he had not lost his reason, he had

AFRO-AMER|CAN CUL[NCS

The men who are working for the
education Of the Negroes in the South
always come North with cheering
word OF the results. OF course there
are two sides to every problem. 1t
would be possible to point out all sorts
Of discouraging things about the situa-
ton of the Negroes. But men like
Booker T. Washington leave the gloom
for somebody else to talk about. They
point out the wonderful achievements
Of the race in its comparatively brief
opportunity-then number OF land own.
ers, the amount of savings, the con.
spicuous instances Of Negroes who
have won for themselves a respected
place in the community.
Such a man as J. NJ. Metcalf, presi-
dent of the Talladega college for Ne.
groes at Talladega, Ala, who was in
Kansas City last week. Ask Mr.. Met
calf what results his school has
achieved and he can point to plenty OF
specific instances of graduates who
have become successful citizens, as
well as to the large number Of whole
some homes that have been estab-
lished.
He can tell of the farms that have
shown the effect of work done on the
school farm, of the spread of alfalfa
cultivation, of better methods in all
the region. He can refer to graduates
who have gone into business and have
proved successful merchants; Of
others who have started savings banks
and have instilled the habit OF saving
and OF thrift among the people. He
can find cheer for the Negroes even in
the political situation in the South In
the fact that Negroes of standing in
Southern communities find no obsta'
cles put in the way of their voting.
This side of the problem is one that
is often lost sight of. 1t needs to be
emphasized for the cheer of the good
Negro citizens who in all parts of the
country are working for the advance
ment of their people.-Kansas City

IT, Gates, genera counsel for the Fed

the action Of the player in signing q
contract with the Federal league and
subsequently signing to play with tho
Philadelphia National league team.
MT Gates said that court decisions
sustain this view.
IF Killifer has signed contract
O play with Philadelphia there are
but two conclusions which follow such
action MI Gates said First. that
organized baseball abandoned its mi
tial position that it would not take
back into organized baseball player
who jumped to the Federal league.
Second, that the law will protect the
Federal league IN an contracts it has
signed with players and killifer can
be enjoinod from playing with the
Philadelphia club
