A Delicious Ice Cream Easily Pre-
pared.

This is the time of year when cool
ing foods and drinks take precedence
over all others. The making of a
good ice cream should be one of the
accomplishments of every efficint
housekeeper. A recipe much in ia
vor in all parts sof the country calls
for: One cup sugar, p teaspoon salt,
one tablespoon cornstarch, one pint
milk, yolks of three eggs. one pint
cream. Mix the cornstarch with the
sugar and add to the slightly beaten
eggs. Pour on the milk slowly, add
the salt and cook over water until
thoroughly done. When cold, add the
cream and freee, flavoring to taste.
In order to insure the best results
with the above recipe it is important
that a good quality of cornstarch be
used, as an inferior cornstarch will
mar the entire dish.
Housekeepers everywhere who have
the best success with cornstarch reel.
pes always depend upon the famous
Kingsford's brand, which can be OBJ
tanned at all modern grocers. To guard
against disappointment, use Kings.
ford's wherever cornstarch is required
Ordinary cornstarch cannot be de
pended upon for the results you de-
sire. I'm ordering Kingsford's ask
your grocer for the little Kingsford's
Cook Book which contains the above
and many other valuable recipes and
culinary hints.

GERMANS HERE SAID
TO PAY BIG WAR TAX
Paris Journalist Writes That
100000 a Month Is Given
to the FatherIand.

PARIS. May 15.-Gaston Applaud. OF
the Temps. writes to that paper from
New York under date OF April %:
The German embassy and consulates
in the United States have kept an annu-
al census Of the Germans In the United
States, showing what each possessed
and earned and enabling the German
government to levy a war tax upon
them. This tax was 10 per cent of
wages or income. These contributions
amounted to over 30. coo, 900 francs 49,
co,ooO in August and September. and
never have fallen beelow 1900. 900 francs
$500. 00oy monthly since
DIR. Dernburg also organized a syn
dicate OF banks. which were pro-Ger-
man, through which he tried to exert
pressure upon those in touch with the
Government and upon members of the
Government themselves.
I'm December Or. Dernburg ordered
the German merchants in China, num-
bering 100000. to send him all the
money possible. The money. amount
ing to 5000, 900. arrived In California
some weeks later hidden In metal
building material. and DR.. Dernberg
announced that Germany would Issue
a local loan in Chicago OF $4,000. 000s
saying that he was so sure of Ameri-
can confidence in Germany that he felt
convinced that the loan would be
covered within a day in Chicago alone
This was safe prophecy. as the
money already was there. the Chinese
funds being utilized for the purpose.

Looks As If Somebody Is ASLEEP at
the Switch" "

To the Editor OF THE TINES:
wish to heartily command the stand
you have taken in your editorial columns
relative to the continued presence of
Dernburg in this country. I see that the
State Department may have the "temer-
ity" to inquire Of the German govern
ment as to his status in this country.
Great Scott! Is It possible that this per-
son has been permitted TO go up and
down the country at will. criticising the
Government and melting the German
element in our population TO offensive
opposition. and perhap to open disloy-
atty, and the Administration does not
know what his status is? Imagine for
one moment such a thing occurring in
Germany. 1t looks like another case Of
asleep at the switch" upon the part
OF those who arc at present charged
with protecting the interests Of the
American people. II our Government can
not protect its citizens in foreign lands,
or upon the high seas. there Is no earth
ly reason why II should permit them to
be openly insulted in their own door
yards.
The further federation Of this indivId-
ual for a single day after the Lusitania
outrage Is an insult to the memory Of
the Americans who lost their lives at
sea, their friends and relatives, and, in
fact, to every real American who can
see his own country first.

LET US BE FAIR WITH OUR
GERMAN.AMERICANS

1t is reported that there are in
stances where the present strong
anti-German feeling is working
hardships to men and women of
German blood and simply on the
ground that they are Germans.
1t is said that this is the case with
servants, with artisans and with
small tradesmen-that the business
of the latter is suffering because of
an incensed public against Germany.
If these reports are true to any
considerable extent it is to our
shame that we should let our feel
ings so far get the better of our
sense of fairness and justice.
1t is not the same thing at all
here as it is in England and France
countries in the death struggle
with Germany. In such a situation,
with the nerves of a nation strained
to the breaking point, the people can
fancy danger from every source
can see spies and traitors every
where-and so unable to restrain
their bitterness are bound to be un-
fair to the countrymen of their
enemy.

at war with Germany and we are

WASHINGTON'S RAIL RATES

Witnesses at the Interstate Com
merce Commission hearing yester-
day on the matter of the so-called
commodity rates" for freight sent
to Washington read into the record a
clear statement Of the undoubted dis
elimination against Washington in
certain freight rates. That Wash
ington merchants and other business
men are distinctly penalized as COM
pared to smaller cities like Freder-
icksburg, Petersburg, and Richmond,
was not disputed.
For fighting this battle the Cham
ber of Commerce and the Retail
Merchants Association deserve the
thanks of the Washington consumer,
as we'll as Of the business men who
are supporting it.
Some striking facts were brought
to light. Railroad representatives
asserted that the lower rates were
put into effect for the Virginia cities
because water competition made
them necessary. That the rates are
not excessively low seems clear from
the fact that they have been in ex-
istence for at least twenty yesrs.
Just how water competition in the
case of these rather inaccessible
cities makes lower rates necessary,
when Washington has not this ad-
vantage though it has daily water
freight service from Northern
points, was not made very clear.
Attorneys for the two organiza-
tions, as we'll as business men who
appeared to testify, showed how in
many cases it is cheaper to ship
goods to Fredericksburg and thence
to Washington, than it would be to
ship the goods directly from New
York to Washington.
The hope of favorable action from
the commission lies in the fact that
in the previous case of class rates
where such discrepancies were
shown to exist, the commission or,
dered that the rates to Washington
be not lower than the rates to points
farther South. In the present in
stance the commodity rates extended
to the lesser cities are not even pro
vided for Washington, and Washing
ton buyers find themselves compelled
! to pay for shipments of single com
modities on class rate basis, ant
these class rates are at least so pc
cent higher in the great majorit,
of cases, than the commodity rate
allowed other cities.

years behind most of the civilized
world.
A law which permits imprison-
ment for debt under any circum-
stances is bad enough, but when it
is SO arranged that II applies gen.
orally to those who cannot afford to
pay and provides loop-holes for those
who can, it Is about as evil a piece
Of class Legislation as could be
imagined. Under the "jail liberties"
system a man who can furnish bail
can generally enjoy the freedom Of
the city and his life while serving
his "jail term" The man who can
not afford bail remains in Ludlow
street, though his family may be
living on charity.
1t is wasted effort to produce ar
guments against the theory Of
imprisonment for debt. Among
thoughtful men it is conceded that
the principle is indefensible.

DENVER. Nay i5.-If you want to

Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson was a

Robinson. At meeting in the Wom-
ans Club both Mr.. and Mrs. Robin
son arose ut the same time to ad-
dress the chairman Of the meeting.
MT. Chairman" they both cried
simultaneously. They stood side by
side, Mr.. Robinson much the taller
and bigger.

man to recognize her. she pushed Mr..
Robinson back into his seat and pro-
cecded to deliver a few remarks.
The Washington times., 1915-05-15

very far removed from the fields Of
carnage-more than three thousand
miles away. We have no excuse,
therefore, for hysteria or untamed
prejudice, and beyond all else we
have no excuse for being unfair and
inhumane, and it is unfair, and it is
inhumane to throw out good serv-
ant merely because he is a German
to throw him out and see him out
of work-and' with public feeling at
the boiling point as it is now it is not
easy for German servant to find
other employment.
The same thing applies with equal
force to the men and women Of Ger
man blood in our industries in what
ever phase of occupation.
And this bitterness toward Ger
many falls with no less severity
upon the small tradesman-the
butcher, the grocer, the chemist, the
tailor, and the newsman-than it
does upon the discharged servant or
the discharged artisan-discharged
without cause other than that of his
German blood.
We cannot afford to be unfair and
we must not be unfair to these men
and women of sterling worth, of
splendid merit, simply because Of
their German blood.
German blood divorced from Ger
man militarism and the present
methods of German war lords Is of
the very best blood in the world.
The German people are a great
people-great in their native Father
land and great here in America.
They have wrought splendidly
here with US in the upbuilding and
character building of America and
have contributed largely to the best
fiber of our citizenship.
Let us be fair, then, with the Ger
mans because Of their merit and be-
cause it is the manly thing to do, the
honest thing to do.
And let us expect the Germans
those who have been carried away
with their feeling for the Fatherland
and have talked too much and un-
wisely-let US expect of them what
we have right to expect Of Ameri.
can citizens Of whatever blood-that
they shall first and last and all the
while recognize their allegiance to
America and the things American
and the ideas and ideals of America.
