although neither the Controller, Attor-

Mr.. Uutcrmyer had a long conference
with Controller Williams. and II is un-

asked TO take up the case. II IS said
tonight Mr.. Untcrmyer viii accept, but
will not formally do so until he has
Strengthened out his affairs in his New

incidentally, the employment of Mr..
Untermyer is expected to lead 10 serl-

WHEN POLICEMEN ARE NEEDED

some caustic remarks about a Joint
resolution to retain sixteen extra po-
licemen who had been put on THE force
at the time Frank Holt's bomb exploded

said that there was no real democratic
economy, and that the only democrat
who had ever been careful about gov
ernment expenditures was former Rep
resentative A. Mitchell Palmer.
Representative Fitzgerald's explana- :
ton as to the necessity for more po-
licemen caused a laugh; and the reso-
luton was adopted.

SOME K|DD|ES THANKFUL

Claus Girl. 20 Seaton place northwest
to see what she and her generous
friends can do for them are evidently
written by grown-ups and are more or
less stereotyped. Also the wants they
express are apt to be legion.
Occasionally. however. an original
note is. sounded by some youthful
spirit. who laboriously writes for him
self or herself. more often than not on
the old familiar ruled school paper.
and occasionally also a child's requests
are not overwhelming. Here is one OF
the first group:
Dear Santa Claus: i live with my
aunt and If you will bring me little
something for my Christmas 1 VIII
thank you ever so much. My aunt is
out Of work this year and will not have
anything for Christmas ! have no

bring me and my little brother and

nest member of the second group. II
would like to have a slay please and
NV brother would like to have a drum

anything you can give US"
Perhaps the Santa Claus Girl can
manage these last dehnite and modest
requests; she certainly cannot MI the
wants of those who want "a raincoat
and a pair of boots. and a pair OF
skates and toy railroad and cannon
and a-suit for school" She deals ex.
clusively in toys and other small joy
giving gifts. and can, at the outside,
see that only one want per small per-
son is filled. II she went into the

would never get anywhere; as 1t is. she

SCIENCE BEGINS At home
l.-Getting Your Moneys
Worth.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The American kitchen is sadly behind
the times. Almost all our institutions
are being run on a basis of scientific
efficiency. but many household ways
have apparently come down to us un-
changed from the days of Moses.
Wherefore, the United States bureau of
standards has just completed a study
to determine how scientific methods
may be applied at home
In her varied activities and expendf-
lures the average housewife proceeds
too much on faith and guesswork. It
may be we'll enough. in cooking. to
measure salt by the pinch and rice by
the handful. Fine dishes have been
produced without scientific measure
ment; cooking may be an art rather
than q science. But it is obviously a
mistake to buy potatoes by the bushel
when you do not know how much a
bushel OF potatoes should weigh. For
instance. fifty-six pounds is the bushel-
weight in Virginia. in North Carolina,
just over the line. or in the city of
Washington, it is sixty pounds. Caro-
lima or Washington women who buy
the Virginia tubers without due
thought may get cheap bushels and
expensive potatoes: This is the sort of
should be posted, yet relatively few of
them are.
The experts Of the bureau of stand
ards recommend that every kitchen
have a complete set of weights and
measures. They are really as indis-
pensable as the kitchen stove. A re-
cent Investigation of 10000 scales in all
sorts OF retail shops showed that IS
per cent of them were inaccurate,
some by as much as IL per cent. or
almost two ounces to the pound If is
not enough to purchase food Of good
quality at the right price per pound.
You must see that you are really get
ting the pounds. -
Groceries should be weighed occa-
sionally. when delivered. and LIQUIDS
measured often. enough to-keep, a check
on the grocer and the delfcatessen
stand. Such practice would be hailed
enthusiastically by all careful and
honest dealers. since. their less scrupu-
lous rivals can undersell them by
making little extra profit on weight
and measure.

Alarm Clock Useful
in Every Kitchen.

everyday alarm clock. The time ele-
ment in baking and boiling is largely
matter of estimate with all but pro-
fessional cooks, and even the housewife
who times her bread and her turkeys
blindly follows cook book, which has
no means of being posted on the pecu-
liarities of her own particular range. 1t
is suggested that a record be kept of
the time of each baking, the approxi
mate heat Of the oven and "a memoran-
dunn of the results. In this way the
cook would soon know the conditions
necessary for success. Such a method
is the basis of all laboratory progress
in science, and there Is no reason why
1t should not be equally effective ap-
piled to sponge cake.
If woman feels that such calculated
methods of observation are too much
of revolution from the old inspira-
tional kitchen technique. she is urged
at least to make use of her alarm clock
to remind her when it is time to take
things out of the oven or put the po-
tatoes on to boil. For such use a clock
with large alarm dial on the face,
rather than the back, Is recommended,
as 1t can be set with great accuracy. 1t
may be depended upon to remind her
forcibly that the roast is about to burn,
even though she be up to the elbows
In concentrated creative fervor over
pie crust
The investigations of the bureau of
standards may be summed up by say
ing that they reveal lack of method
and forethought in kitchen and mar
keting methods. The bureau by no
means recommends. primarily, greater
economy in the matter of spendings,
but it points out that with a little care
the same dollar would go a good deal
farther. The housewife Is urged to
follow few of the same principles that
guide her husband in running his busi-
ness
