GIVE A COFFEE PARTY
CHANGE FROM THE "rEA" THAT IS so POPULAR.
Hostess Can Provide Delightful Enter tainment at Comparatively Small Cost in a Fashion That Is
 Somewhat Unusual.

Why don't you give a coffees Have tea, excepting that coffee instead of tea is the chosen beverage, and in stead of sandwiches and cakes of the usual sort all the food seems to have come straight from a German coffee shop.
 This rather unusual form of enter tainment is given in the morning. Cards are sent out with the words Coffee" and From II to 1" written on them. Or. If the Coffee is to be very small, the invitations may be given by telephone. For one of the charms of the Coffee" is that it is informal
 In the dining-room the table Is spread with a lace or embroidered luncheon something rather elab- crate can be used-and in the center, instead of flowers, is a big silver tray heaped with fruits made Of marzipan. Half dozen German cakes are placed on the table. There are small German almond cakes on plate covered with a lace dolly. There is cake board on which is a big coffee ring, with a wide bladed silver knife beside it. There is a cheese cake cut into narrow. wedge shaped pieces. And there are other German sweets of the sort that can be bought at a first-class German delica- tessen or bakery or made at home ac- cording to recipes in German cook cry book.
 At each end of the table is an urn or a pereolating coffee pot over an al cohol flame. for coffee is the only bev- craze served. It is served in large cups. breakfast size, and with it are passed cream and sugar.
 German Douehnuts.-Here is a reef De for one German delieaey that may be served with the coffee. Scald pint of milk. and while it is scalding hot pour over it a pint of four. Beat until smooth and then add half a teaspoon ful of salt. and cool Add the beaten yolks of four eggs, tablespoonful Of melted butter, half eupful of sugar, cupful of flour, two teasponfuls of baking powder, a teaspoonful of al mond or other flavoring and the beat en whites of four eggs Add more flour if necessary to make a soft dough. Roll out and cut and fry gold brown. Drain on thick paper and roll in sugar
 German Apple Cake.-For German apple cake, sift pint of four with one and half teaspoonfuls of baking pow der and half a teaspoonfui of salt. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, rub ping it in thoroughly. and then add a beaten egg and milk enough to make a thick batter. Spread the batter in q buttered tin 10 the thickness of an inch Over the top spread quarters or eighths of peeled and cored apples and sprinkle with sugar and cinna- mon. Bake in a hot oven.

the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland was regarded not only as menacing to ships carrying legitimate eargoes, but as likely to add further to the Interruptions which American commerce has suffered since the war.
 What is regarded as the most prom isfng feature of the German note, so far as the preservation of American shipping interests is concerned. Is the statement that the German Govern ment Is ready to discuss with the United States possible measures that may be adopted for the protection of neutral vessels in the new area of op- erations. The value of this sugges- tion, however, is considerably less ened by the subsequent statement of Germany that such deliberations will be made most difficult because of the alleged misuse of neutral flags by British shipping and the fact that neu- tral vessels. bound for British ports are presumably carrying eontraband.
 Great Britain's seizure of food car goes bound for Germany in an effort to starve out the Kaiser's people jus tifies any method of warfare, says the German note. The tone of the ans wer is very friendly and the sugges- ton is made that the United States might identify it's merchantmen ane thus guarantee their safety by convoy ing them with warships- This propo- sition was not favorably received at Washington.

 Sacramento. Cal.-"The parole sys tenn is the most valuable agency in re mobilization" says the biennial report of the State Board of Prison Direct ors, made public.
 There are 764 prisoners on parole from CaIifornia's two penitentiaries. "Twenty-two per cent. of the men pa. rolled in the last two years" says the report. "are classed as failures, but 1 per cent committed new crimes"
 Immunity of Children.
 Professor Armbruster asserts that the reason very young children are relatively immune to infectious dis eases is that their hearts beat so much more rapidly than those of older per- sons that the blood flows swiftly through the arteries; and this swift ness of flow makes it difficult for micro-organisms to gain a foothoId in the blood stream.

pool halls are still closed. The crusade
against the gaming parlors Launched
by the local socialist members OF the
city council has had a more lasting ef-
feet than had ever been contemplated.
The closing was at first looked upon
as a. municipal joke but with the pool
halls closed a week and not single
member of the city council urging 8
reconsideration the proprietors OF the
many establishments are beginning 10
do some heavy thinking. That the
council will insist upon Sunday clos
ing as we'll as an absolutely strict oDed-
fence to the state law in the conduct
of the places when they are reopened
Is a general belief. Muscatine with no
pool halls and no saloons feels that she
may now rightly claim the distinction
of being the New Jerusalem OF the

WILL ENABLE THE
DEAF TO HEAR NOW
SCIENTISTS AT STATE UNlvERS.
iTY HAVE DISCOVERED IN
STRUMENT FOR PURPOSE. !.

Iowa City, Nov. 2.-Scientists work
ing in the psychology laboratories of
the State University of Iowa have dis
covered that the horoscope, musical
instrument invented in the laboratory
for the study of pitch of the voice and
instruments, will be of great service
in the teaching of the deaf to speak.
II is well known that a deaf person
has great difficulty in acquiring a
pleasing quality of speech because he
does not hear himself and does not
recognize his defects. The horoscope
furnishes him a substitute for hear
ing. With it he can use the eye IN
stead of the ear to find out what is
the correct pitch of the voice and may
practice until he gets muscular con-
troll that will enable him to guage the
voice in terms Of muscular sensation.
The procedure is beautifully simple.
The instructor stands In front OF the
tonoscope and speaks sentence and
the horoscope shows moving picture
of this speech. The pupil is then
asked to speak until his voice pro-
duces the same moving picture as that
of the Instructor Having a definite
model, he can practice until he has
obtained an appreciation OF pitch or
the voice that becomes habitual and
familiar in terms of the muscle sense
which is next to the ear in giving in
formation about the pitch of the voice
in ordinary speech.
The school for the deaf in Milwau-
kee is the first to try out this method
in actual practice. Those who are in
terasted in the institutional training
Of the deaf will be watching the ex-
pertinent with great interest.
The discovery is doubly interesting
in that it follows close upon the in
ve1tion, in the physics laboratory, OF
the phonopticon, which enables the
bird to read print by transforming
light waves into sound waves. Re-
versing the process in the phonopti-
coz, the horoscope translates sound
waves into term which can be distin-
guished by sight.
