Baron Munchauscn Bakcr.-Stunr
by the mercileas criticism visited up
on him by Chairman Mccormick and

tary Baker has now added to the con-
sclenceless brutality of his insult to

Mr.. Baker, however, a stenographic
report of his remarks was read 10
him after he made his outrageous
comparison by a newspaper reporter
who appreciated their astonishing
character. and this report was an.
proved as accurate by Mr.. Baker,
HIS eleventh hour denial, therefore.
SIMPLY serves to demonstrate that he
has MS little regard for current truth
as ne has for that past history. The
report Of the New York Tribune re-
porter which was read 10 Mr.. baker
and which he pronounced accurate,
included the following: Some peo.

WHEN FOES MEET IN AIR
German Lieutenant Tells of Engage.
ment in Which French Aviators
Lost Their Lives.

zone afternoon a French flyer ap-
peared," says a German lieutenant
1T circled over Douaumont and then
rose high above the clouds. For long
time it seemed to be just hanging in
the air. And then-from our side there
arose a buzzing, fierce sharp buzz
ling, and it made straight like a bee
line for the little French flyer. 1t
went through the clouds and dsap-
peared. Nothing could be seen. The
clouds covered all. Five minutes of
suspense passed, and then a shot, and
after that a roaring. We waited
breathlessly and then two little black
spots were seen breaking through the
clouds. Tiny little spots, and these
spots were the two French aviators.
They grew bigger as they fell. A mo-
ment after the men came the flaming
machine. 1t came down roaring and
crashing. Its wings were yet on fire,
and the red, white and blue of the
tri-cOlOrs looked like revolving
American barber pole. Everything
crushed to the earth, hopeless man
gled mass. Again a spot broke through
the clouds. 1t came swift and straight,
without any spectacular showing. 1t

are at considerable distance from the
road where the mail boxes are erect
ed on posts. In order to ascertain
whether or not the pOStman has left
any mail it is necessary to make a
trip to the roadside and very often
with the result that no mail is found.
Now, the idea of this improved mail
box is to save steps, as will be seen.
A good idea of the construction Of
the device may be obtained by the
illustration shown. 1t will be noticed
that when the metal cover is lifted
it comes into contact with the small
brass strip affixed at the rear of the
box, thus creating a complete circuit,
Wires are run from this contact, and
also from the metal lid, to the house
where there is an electric bell, fitted
with battery, which is made to ring
by the current created by the contact
thus announcing the definite arrival
of the mail.

CAKE AT ITS BEST
MIXTURE OF INGREDIENTS AN
IMPORTANT MATTER.
Measuring Cup Should Always Be
Used, Unless One Is Especially
Gifted-Other Things 1t Is
Well to Remember.

The measuring cup is the first aid to
most professional cooks weigh and
measure with great care TO be sure
there are still old southern mammies
and gifted New England housewives
who can put cake together without
the help of any measuring apparatus
save a scoop and their own good eye.
A glass measuring cup-better than
tin one because it is easier to get
exact fractions of a cup in one that
is transparent-better also because it
is easier to keep it thoroughly clean
and dry-a teaspoon, tablespoon
not soup spoon nor a dessert spoon
nor one of those huge metal spoons
used for mixing batters and basting
meats-should be part of the equip
ment of every cake baker. A pair of
scales is also useful, if they are re-
liable. 1t is difficult, however, in some
places to buy good scales. Although
Hour varies in weight and quality it
is usually safe to allow four even
cupfuls of sifted flour to the pound.
Two cupfuls of granulated sugar
weigh pound. Butter has the same
weight, so that two ounces measure a
quarter of cupful.
With these equations 1t Is easy to
translate weights into measures.
Never grease cake pans with but
ter, as this has a very low burning
temperature. Lard has higher burn
ing temperature, and hence cake in q
larded pan does not burn on the bot
tom so easily as cake in a buttered
pan.
Keep a small painful of water in
the oven in which cake is baked. The
steam thus generated keeps the tenn
perature of the oven even and helps
to make the baking slow and even.
Don't stand the pan of water direct
ly under the cake, as this sometimes
causes part of the underside of the
cake to be less baked than the rest.
Place wire rack in the oven under
the cake pans and be sure to keep the
oven cool enough at the top to prevent
burning. These precautions are espe-
ctally necessary in a gas oven, which
is usually hot.

Boiled Fowl With Sauce.

One fowl one slice smoked beef, one
lemon, salt, one onion sliced, one bunch
of herbs, a few peppercOrns, white
sauce, one onion stack with cloves.
Have fowl trussed for boiling, place
a piece of fat smoked beef on the
breast, and rub the fowl over with
lemon juice. Put it in a stewpan with
enough boiling water to cover it, an
onion stuck with cloves and a sliced
onion, bunch Of herbs, a few pepper
corns, and a pinch of salt. Let it sim
mer gently on the side of the stove for
one and a quarter or one and half
hours, place on hot dish, remove the
strings and skewers and pour a good
white sauce over 1t.

CANNING CORN FOR WINTER
Try This Method That Is Recommend
ed by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.

Cut corn from cob when it is at the
proper stage and in filling the cans or
glass jars in which it is to be pre-
served put some corn in the bottom
MASKING this down with a cob from
which the corn has been cut, until the
milk comes out well. Put in another
layer and mash again, and so on until
the jar is full. The cans should be
slightly heaping and the covers then
screwed on tight. When the cans are
filled and covers on they should be
put in the boiler and set on a cart or
frame SO that they will not touch the
bottom. And they should be so ar
ranged that they will not touch each
other. The boiler should then be filed
with cold water, brought to boil and
allowed to boil for four hours. Let
stand until water is cool; then remove
cans and try covers to see if they are
tight. The cans should be kept COW
cred with water while boiling, and this
may be done by keeping a kettle of
boiling water handy. This method of
canning is recommended by the de-
partment of agriculture as the most
satisfactory for preserving corn, beans,
peas and other vegetables.

Breakage of Jars in Gamma.

When breakage of Jars occurs it is
due to such causes as
Overpacking jars. Corn, pumpkin,
peas, lima beans and sweet potatoes
swell or expand in processing. Do not
fill the jars quite full Of these prod
ucts.
Placing cold Jars in hot water, or
vice versa. AS soon as the Jars are
filled with hot sirup or hot water, place
Immediately in the Gamer.
If top cracks during sterilization the
wire bail was too tight.
In steam Gamer, having too much
water in the Gamer. Water should
not come above the platform.
Allowing cold draft to strike the jars
when they are removed from the can
ner.
Having wire bail too tight thus
breaking the jars or glass tops when
lever is forced down.

Hat is of black velvet with an immense
Russian ornament of cut silver in
front. The brim is moderate in size
and slightly curved, and the high,
soft crown is carelessIy denied at
the top.
Spanish heel with lacings of inch-wide
ribbon tied in a smart bow at the in
step. Such shoes demand a longer
skirt than the high laced boot that
America went quite mad over last
winter.
1t is not possible to get away in our
fashions from the reflection of the
French spirit and French history, and
in this connection the designers are
wondering what effect the close of the
war will have on the clothes of Amer
incan women.
If France is not victorious the ex,
perts believe that all the clothes in the
fashionable world will be somber
modest, demure. No flicker of gayety
will creep through fabrics or cos
tumery.
If France is victorious, America
will burst out in the gay panoply OF
conquerors. Scarlet and purple, gold
and silver and all the magnificent trap
pings of military achievement and OF
elated spirit will be reflected In oul
clothes.
No Victorian Trivialities.
The joyful thing about the new
clothes is that all the bows and fiut
ings and rufIles and ruches that dis
graced our recent costumery are alb
sent. Zee

These styles, known as 1910 and
1870, were twisted into something
that suggested grace and daring by
those who were gifted by nature to
transform something ugly into some
thing charming by the alchemy of
their personality-the kind of person,
you know, who makes orangeade out
of all the lemons handed out by life,
TO quote from an optimists diary,
which is, after ALL the most construc-
tive policy of happiness in this world.
One gets weary of the Mark Tapleys
of life who are forever smiling at the
things that are wrong and pretending
to be cheerful, but the cher iral abili-
ty to turn something bad into some
thing good, makes this word want to
cheer the person who can do it.
All of which is q verbose way of
saying that only a gifted few can make
Victorian Ornamentation appear attrac-
tive.

Most Skirts Are Plated

Flat plaits, sun plaits or rounded
plating are found on nearly all the
new dress skirts. Many of the fine
French serges are sun plated, while
heavier materials are side plated In
groups of three or five or front and
back, leaving the hips plain. A new
plating done on tubes extends from
the waist to the hips and is then lost
in the fullness Of the skirt.

nARTS.-There is no doubt now that
the French designers will put
through their plan to give us
skirts that are longer and less wide.
There is no return, however, to the
sheath or hobble skirt. Not a ripple
IN the surface of fashion indicates
hat woman will have less freedom in
walking because of the tightneSs of
The hem.
There is a great deal of fullness
aiken out of the side seams in the new
skirts, and the effect is more like the
full skirts of the eighteenth century
han those of last winter.
A few of the Paris houses cut their
walking skirts only three yards wide.
Four yards, however, was a more gen
araI measurement, and many of the
evening skirts fell to the floor in slight
fullness, with a sizeable train behind.
Even this moderate amount of full
aess is not held out by cerclettes or
crinoline, nor is there any tendency
toward the barrel skirt or the eXag-
geration of the hips by the vatican
pannierS.
No Hip Distension.
- Mind you, there is still an orna-
mentation of the hips, but it is not
used for the purposes of distensiOn.
What one writer has called the slip
per trimming, is popular expression
sc h. toe ho@ he e;Jn Of ell rf
should be brought into relief.
Lanvin originated this trimming,
and Poiret put a good deal of en-
phasis on it in slightly different way.
It consists of a stitched or embroid-
cred band or bedroom slipper with a
rounded toe, and this is placed down
ward over the hips and usually forms
part of the belt.
Certain forms of this slipper trim
ming have been so commended in
cheap ready-to-war garments that
the public may be wary of it. 1t is not
possible to tell this early whether or
not it will run more than a few
weeks.
Is the Short Skirt Doomed7
There may be a few hundred young
women and girls who will insist upon
the extra short skirt until they are as
sured that it is doomed. 1t is graceful
on all those who are not burdened
with height or width, but it has been
carried to such degrees of absurdity
during the last six months by women
who should have known better, that
one does not look with any sorrow OF
its threatened downfall.
All the smart French women have
taken to Oxford ties as the fashion
able shoe, the tie that has the broadly
rounded toe, the short vamp and high

Hair Mattresses.

The hair mattresses which are filled
