MAKES A GOOD, PLAIN GAZE
o.,i...v That MAY Be Baked in a
Great Number Of Ways, a.
One May Desire.

remember reading an article many
years ago in which cake was designat'
ed as the rose of cookery" the term
seemed to suit the dainty process OF
combining all the delicate ingredients
that 90 to the making of too'hsome,
dainty. beautiful, fragrant cake 50 well
that | have always remembered 1t, re-
marks a writer in the Pittsburgh Dis
patch.
Here is a very good rule for a plain,
though excellent cake. 1t may be
baked in all sorts of ways, as you will
see:
One generous tablespoonful OF but
ter, one cupful of sugar, one and
half cupfuls of -four half cupful OF
milk, two eggs. a pinch of salt and a
level teaspoonful of baking powder.
Stir the butter, sugar and eggs to-
gether, beating them hard. Then add
the flour, in which the baking powder
has been mixed and sifted twice.
Add the milk by degrees, beat thor
oughly and bake in a moderate oven.
/ have not mentioned the tiaVpring,
because there is where the variety
comes in. Flavored with vanilla. rose
or lemon extract and baked in q loaf
and iced, this is a very nice cake for
ordinary purposes. Or it may be baked
as a layer cake, with chocolate, car
amel, lemon, jelly or other filing be-
tween the layers.
Often | bake it in four very thin
layers and put it together with very
art jelly, making real old-fashioned
Jelly cake.
-four and adding grated chocolate, a
very nice chocolate cake results, and
this may be baked in layers and put
together with a chocolate filling;
very good imitation of the more ex-
pensiye devils food. Grated cocoanut
or chopped nut meats will make a
pleasant addition, or raisins, currants
and spices will give you delicious
brown loaf of simple fruit cake.
Orange peel grated into the batter
makes a very. nice flavor; then
would advise icing the top with an
orange icing, but do not put any of
he juice in the cake for it will kill'
he effects of the baking powder.
This same recipe may be baked in
gem pans and served hot for luncheon,
or the little cakes may be iced and
set away for Sunday night supper.
A portion of the batter might be
Favored with chocolate for variety

ments will result. North Carolina will
probably establish an independent
highway department in lieu of the
work now done by the state geological
survey relating to highways.
New Jersey in 1891 was the pioneer
state in providing state aid for public
highways. Massachusetts and Con.
necticut adopted the policy shortly aft,
er. but only during the last ten years
has the state-aid policy been in eff.
feet on a considerable scale. About
5000 miles of state highways were
completed in 1913 and about 5000
miles in 1914, so that the last two
years have been responsible for more
than one-third of the entire state
highway mileage. The state highways
in America now exceed by 5000 miles
the national road system of France
To have state highway departments
placed under non.partisan, efficient
control; skilled supervision required
In all construction work; a proper
classification OF highway to insure in

Germany AS a Note Writer.
Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In to5day's Tribune Mr.. George
Haven Putnam charges Germany re-
with connivance in alleged Turkish auoci-
ties committed upon the Armenians. State
nlents made By Turkish officials here and n
Europe seem to indicate that the Armenians
arc themselves responsible for certain print
tive Turkish measures for siding with the
enemies of the Ottoman Empire.
As to Germanys role, | wish to draw Mr..
Putnam's attention to the report Of The
Associated Press. published October 10, in
which it is expressly stated:
Concerning the Armenian affair three
separate notes were presented TO the Otto
man government by the German Ambassador
ad interim. Prince Hohenohe -Langenburg |"
If the German notes have not had any far
reaching effect, even Mr.. Putnam will hardly
be prepared to imply that their failure IT
doing so was because these communications
did not protest against the Turkish meas
ures.
1t should be remembered that evidently
the steps taken by the government of the
United States have not been able, either, to
stop whatever there may have been OF ex-
cessiye harshness in dealing with the dis
loyal subjects OF the Sultan, the reason
one, against which protests can, a: best, be
raised, but not enforced. 10.

Our Humiliation.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: Your leading editorial in to-day's
Tribune should be read and remembered By
every good American. Il is indeed true that
the year about to close has been full of un-
speakable humiliation and sorrow 20 every
patriotic citizen. Fine phrases and beauti-
fully turned sentences we have read from
day to day until We have learned the value
of plain speaking.
Your editorial leaves no possibility for
either in regard to what
we should have done or what we ought to do
in the future. | believe without qualification
that the pride which is too sensitive 20 fight
is emphatically the pride which goeth before
destruction. Let US begin the new year with
the solemn resolution to eliminate all pol
troons from national counsels ard substitute
FOR them vigorous and virile Americans who
will never doubt that two-handed job re-
qures two-handed methods.
