Baking Helps
Learn to Regulate the Heat OF
Your Oven

ByIEys. Tzaet 1EeR'<Hzie Hilk, EdttoTCf
the Boston Cooking School Magazine
There is just one way to make
your cakes rise high and keep an
even surface. Have your oven
moderate at first, until the cake is
fu1lvrizen: then increase the heat,
so as TO brown it over quickly.
Extreme heat stifens the dough.
If YOU stiffen the outside of the
cake before the rising is complete,
YOU stop the rising process. Then
the leavening gas, forming inside.
will bulge up the center, where
the dough is still soft, and spoil
the shape Of the cake. "a
NorE-Biscuits or other pastries
made from stiff dough, that are cut into
shapes for the oven, bake IN a hot oven.
This Is because the cut surfaces OF the
dough do not scar over, but rather
leave the pores open, allowing the
Ieaveniug gas to escape and the heat to
penetrate readily. Small ovens cool
quickly; Therefore they should be made
several degrees hotter than a larger
even. and the less the door is opened
the better. Do not attempt 30 bake
bread and pastry together. Bread re-
ouires prolonged, moderate baking
pastry the reverse.
Have a strong underheat for baking
powder preparations, especially pastry.

BACK
FROM HUNT FOR
Fly PARASITE
Never Lost in Africa, Says Ho-
noluIu EntomologiSt; War
Bound on West Coast

Australia, especially the western
part, is being bothered by the Medit-
erranean fruit fly, so that she can SYM
rathize with Hawaii's affliction. Such
is the information brought to Honolulu
today by j. C. Bridwell, the Honolulu
entomologist whose wanderings in the
last year and half have led from
here to the west coast of Africa, over
to Australia and back to Hawaii.
Mr.. and Mrs. BridweH arrived in the
Canadian-Australasi liner jMakura
this morning from Sydney. They
have been in Australia for the last two
or three months. Mrs. Bridwell went
to the big commonwealth to meet her
husband after he reached there from
Africa, where he was war-bound for
some time, having been on the west
coast of the Dark Continent collecting
insect parasites when the European
conflict first commenced.
Il wasn't lost in Africa at al" said
Mr.. Bridwell when he was asked by a
Star Bulletin reporter for a recital of
his many adventures since he left
here more than year and half ago.
I'D rather not talk much about it,
you know" And he refused to be in
terviewed further until the newspaper
man asked him whether anti-American
sentiment exists in Australia today to
the extent that has been reported.
Says Navy Men Made Promises.
1T certainly does, he replied. The
visit of the American fleet there a
number of years ago seems to have
had something to DO with it, too
When the fleet was there, on its
round-the<world cruise, Australians
went wild with enthusiasm when, ac-
cording to them, our naval officers
promised to help Australia and Great
britain in the event of war with a
foreign power. Australians feel that
i'll not taking part in the war the
United States has not kept the prom
ises made by its naval officers then.
Mr.. Bridwell added that the better
class of Australians resented most bit.
