CAMPED ON CYCLE TOUR
Brooklyn Riders Try Novel
Form of Vacation.

One of the most interesting motor
cycle trips made last fall was q 800
mile run into the Catskills by party
Of Brooklyn riders. Equipped with
tents, sleeping blankets and cooking
utensils, the cyclists headed their ma
chimes for the mountains.
After a couple Of days OF riding they
found an ideal camping spot In the
foothills OF the Adirondacks, about ten
miles from Lake George and only a
short distance from small town.
where they could obtain supplies. Here
they spent about a week fishing rest
ing and exploring the hills. Then they
chugged back to Brooklyn, healthier
and happier than ten days before. Inc
machines made the entire trip without
a single mechanical trouble.

Moross Plans Night Race
Meet at Brighton Beach
i'm June.
WILL PROVIDE NEW
MOTORING THRILL
Resta, Back from San Francisco,
Is Preparing for Big Race
at indianapolis.

Repeating the old remark about a
squirrels proclivities, Ernest Moross
explained during the week that he has
arranged to spring a new thriller on
motor car race followers. The object
OF his visit was to arrange the lease
OF the Brighton Beach track for a mid
June date. The big idea is a night
meet under conditions that will show
the cars on every foot of the circuit
IN brilliant light against a white
canvas background.
Moross believes that his new scheme
Will be greater drawing card, be-
cause OF the assurance of high speed,
than the night hours of the old TWEEN
ty-tour-hour races. His equipment
Will be available for any one-m r.
track, and will cost more than
$4,000. The canvas background is to
be ten feet in height. The illumiua-
tion Will be the equal Of IN candle
power for each square foot of the
track, and there will also be three
special searchlights.
All the equipment has been ordered,
and the first test of the idea will take
place at the Indianapolis Fair Grounds
IN May. The racing team is to in
clude half a dozen regulars in the
hIgh-speed field, probably headed by
Billy Carlson, and the meets will be

U COOKING
BY ELECTRICITY
Engineers Of U. of M. Preparing
Bulletin on This Subject.

Engineers Of U. of M. Preparing
Bulletin on This Subject.
A bulletin which will be of in
terest to Missouri women S
soon to be published by the En-
cheering Experiment Station of
the University of Missouri. The
title of the bulletin is'The Ec-
onomics of Electric Cooking"
The subject matter deals with
heat losses in electric ovens and
the effect Of these losses on the
cooking of various articles of
food.
Here are a few of the conclu-
sions already reached:
The most economical temper
allure for rare and medium rare
roasts is 100 degrees G.; well
done 100 degrees. With biscuits
it is necessary to have the oven
much'higher, as high as 24O de-
grees C.
The advantage of an electric
oven is that the temperature can
be closely controlled. In ordinary
wood and coal cooking the heat
must be controlled by constant
stirring or changing in position
of the vessel. With electric
cooking perfect control can be
had within a range of a few de-
grees.
Since the flavor of many foods
is determined by the tempera-
ture at which they are cooked,
the electric oven promises an era
Of more palatable food.
In cooking as in photography
time and temperature are the
important features.

cheering Experiment Station,

BEWARE THAT POWDER PUFF!
It May Give You L~umbaao, Append
eltls, or the Pip, Says a PhiIa-
delphla Physician.

More trouble in store for the sum
mer girl! They've made her the butt
of all sorts of jokes, patrolled the
beach and park with cops, regulated
the size and style Of her bathing
suit-and now she mustn't borrow a
powder puff.
Doctor Ziegler, of the department
of health and charities, says so. It's
insanitary and might spread all sorts
Of diseases, including lumbago, APP
pendicitis and pip. Inasmuch as the
average summer girl would rather
have all three of these ailments than
a shiny nose, the advice probably
will 60 unheeded.
Nevertheless, Doctor ziegler places
the borrowed powder puff with the
common drinking cup, the common
towel and the common bathtub in
the category of summer hotel evils
to be avoided" He treats of them
in a bulletin to vacationists about to
leave the city.-Philadelphia North

ASKS ENGLAND TO ECONOMIC
The Standard of Living at Present is
Much Too High, Says
Lloyd-Georse.

During the budget debate the chan
cellor of the e%xchequer returned to
the point which he made with great
force the other day-the vital neces-
Sity that the people of this country
should put by their savings for the
demands which will be made upon
them later.
Hundreds of millions will be want
ed to finance the war. There is no
chance of getting enough revenue
by merely taxing the rich. The ma
TONS savings will be indispensable
for the coming loans. Saving, there
fore, is not a question of meanness
but of patriotism, and the time has
come for a return to the old system
Of simple living. Better face it at
once, said the chancellor. The stand
ard has been steadily going up. 1t
will have to come down.
"Plain living and high thinking
are no MORE" wrote Wordsworth in
1902 in a famous sonnet. Mr.. Lloyd
George said nothing Of high think
ing, but he earnestly begged the ma
ton to be wise in time, to return to
plain living, to realize that the gilt
tering prosperity Of the moment was
purely artificial, and to be sure that
a period of collapse would most GER
tainly and inevitably come.-London

 Of course, MT. Hills purpose in go- ing into the lower grades as a student is not primarily to learn how to spell "cat' and "dog' and rat" but he is seeking to learn just how the 1900 New Orleans teachers instill knowl- edge into the youngsters in their care.
 He is 8 Harvard man and former professor of psychology at Tulane university, New Orleans, but now he is the head of the New Orleans Department of Educational Research. He adopted the method of being student in the grades in order to gather first hand information which he hopes will lead to improvement in teaching methods.
 While attending school Dr. Hill is observing all the rules--reporting at 9 a. m. promptly, reciting his lessons when called upon, and taking his turn at the three Rs in the various classes. If he is tardy he has to render an excuse just like the other pupils.
