was emptied lat least quar- OF
watery buttermilk was found at the

Because an excess of buttermilk is
cften left in bu ter, 1T deterioates
rapidly and becomes unfit for table |

fat removed to use in sauces or cake
The residue often can be used like

contains.
Bits OF cheese may not be strfstly
a product, but may be considered
as such. The shells of the Edam or
pineapple cheese often are lost They
may be used as case in which to

which can be reduced by grating. a
better way is to scrape or peel q
thin rind from a wedge of cheese be-

should not be used, since it has been |
exposed to the outside world, and |
because it was likely to come in

Fisher Gets ST. 900 Per Week
For Tall Mutt and Little Jeff
High Record if Paid for
Comics Which Are APP
pearing in The Journal.

"Bud" Fisher the creator of the
long, lanky Mutt, and his little side
pal, jeff, receives $1,000 per week or
$104,000 per year for his productions
which are appearing daily in The
Journal. He has signed such con-
tract with the Wheeler Syndicate,
Inc, which sells the doings of the
tall and optimistic Mutt and the short
and pessimistic JEFF to the leading
papers of the United States.
The contract which Fisher signed
probably sets new high record for
work of this character. Fishers con-
tract with the Star Co, of New York,
publishers of the New York Ameri-
can, expired Sunday. His contract
with the Wheeler Syndicate which
took effect on the expiration of the
other, was signed Dec. z, last.
INJUNCTION EFFORT FAILED.
July 20, the Star Co. Of New York
made application to Justice Weeks of
the Supreme Court Corresponding to
the Circuit Court here) for an in
junction against the Wheeler Syndi-
cate. Justice Weeks was asked to
enjoin the Wheeler Syndicate against
using the name 'sMutt and JEFF" In
any way; selling any comic strips I'M
der the name Of Mutt and jeff or
depicting their figures; or ~conspiring
or confederating with any of the
plaintiffs present or former employees
FISHERY with a view to the making
and execution of any sketches or rep
reservations Of the characters Mutt
and jeff"
Aug. 2, Justice Weeks gave an opin-
ion denying al the requests, except
that he took under advisement the
Wheeler Syndicate's right to use the
three conjunctive words Mutt and
JEFF" as title. He will announce
his decision on this this point within q
few days. The Star Co. of New York
claims possession of this three-worc
| title by copyright.
Justice Weeks stated that Fisher
could not be restrained from draw,
| ing the characters, one Mutt and the
i other JEFF, which he had created; thai
he could not be restrained from call
| ing them by those names in the car
toon dialogue, and that he could mo-
be restrained from using the nam.
"Mutt" and the name "Jef" in thu
printed captions of the cartoons.

Pending the courts decision ON the
Wheeler Syndicate's right to use the

pictures are appearing IN The Journal
and papers in other cities served By
the Wheeler Syndicate under such
captions as 'Well, Well, Look Who's

But even without the names thous.
ands of readers would recognize the
figures as genuine, for it doubtful,
whether they can be SUCCESSFULLY
counterfeited. And the signature o.
Fisher, just beneath the spot where
Mutt usually knocks down his little
'tfriend," with his hat crushed ove1
his forehead, is conclusive evidencs
that Journal readers are getting tht
real thing.

PAN-AMERICAN- APPEAL
IS DELIVERED TO MEXICANS

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Pam
American appeal to Mexico now be-
ing delivered to the chiefs of all fac
tions and governors of all states, was
made public tonight by the state de-
partment. Without even an intima-
ton of armed intervention, It calls
upon the leaders to meet somewhere
in Mexico, or on neutralized grounds,
in a conference ito adopt the first
steps necessary TO a constitutional
reconstruction of the country," and to
issue a call for immediate elections.
The services Of the United States or
any other Of the Pan-American con-
fereees are offered in arranging the
meeting.
The appeal, though addressed to
the political and military leaders
takes the form of an announcement
to the Mexican people themselves.
It announces the Pan-American con-
ferees met informally at the sugges-
ton Of the United States to consider
the Mexican situation to see If they
could disinterestly help In restoring a
constitutional government. It then
calls attention to the bIoodshed and
property waste and urges the Mex
lean leaders to hold a conference as
far from the sound Of cannon, and
'1with no other thought than to save
their afflicted land, there to exchange
ideas and TO determine the fate OF
their country It suggests a reply
within ten days.
The Pan-American conference ex-
poets not to meet again until replies
are received or it becomes apparent
that some Mexicans viii not reply
The conferees are confident they vii
soon get enough replies to warrant
extending aid in arranging Mexican
conference.
Carranza's attitude is still matter
Of speculation. It is believed if he
or any other do not accept, the con.
ference will be held without them. Al
embargo on arms is expected as the
first step against factions refusing
to join the new government.
Assistant Secretary Breckenridge
said orders were issued because Gen
Funston reported there should be
stronger force at Brownsville, but
that Funston did not report any new
development.
