Housekeepers' Conference


 Tabulation of the answers Miss Mary F. Rausch gave to her Questioners dur. ing the recent Housekeepers' Confer ence at the University of Washington would result in a passable recipe and etiquette book.
 Among the points brought out were the following:
 Ice cream may be eaten either with a spoon or a fork.
 Table cloths need hemming on the raw edges only.
 Salt in bread retards the rising. Sugar aids it, feeding the yeast.
 No photographs should be placed on the piano.
 In serving green or red peppers, just cut off the top aud cut out the insides with a knife or scissors. In buying peppers it will be noticed that some have three, some four and some five divisions. The ones with five parts are the sweet ones.

Two good college base ball teams are
scheduled to meet Georgetown and
Catholic University this afternoon
Princeton will be the opponent Of the
Blue and Gray, and Penn State is to
appear against the Brooklanders. There
is little doubt that these may be num-
bered among the strongest mines In the
east
Georgetown was booked TO meet
Princeton twice, the first contest being
called off because of tho inclement
weather conditions of Saturday The
Hilltoppers will make every effort 10
get a victory over the Tigers in the one
game to be played today. especially as
il would be a splendid performance if
they could win from Yale and Prince
ton successiveIy. 1t is hard to tell who
will be the pitchers for the two teams,
though it is certain that capable men
will perform. Princeton has star in
Deyo, but 1t also has several other
hurlers capable of giving good ac-
count of themselves. Georgetown has
three or four pitchers. any one of whom
should do creditable work IL he is in
his best form.
Catholic Uniersity probably will be
