SALADS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
Two Unusual ones and Two Good
Dressings to Be Served
With Them.

Fruit Salads.-For fruit salads any
combination may be used. Canned pine
apple goes well with canned or fresh
white cherries and bananas; seeded
white grapes or canned peaches with
oranges may be added as desired.
Dressing for Fruit Salad.-This is an
excellent dressing for fruit salads
where a mild but ~well-favored dressing
Is needed:
Yokes of two eggs. two tablespoon
fuls of butter, a scant half cupful Of
sugar, two tablespoonfuls each of vim
egar and lemon juice, two t~easpoonfuls
of olive oil, n teaspoonful of salt, one
t%easpoonful of mustard (ground) and a
pinch of red pepper. Cream the but
ter and sugar together add the beaten
eggs and other ingredients. Cook in n
double boiler until thick. Keep in q
cool place and, when ready to use, add
one-half cupful of whipped cream
Another salad dressing for fruit calls
for two eggs, one-Quarter cupful each
of lemon juice and sugar. Beat the
eggs, add the other ingredients and
cook in a double boiler, stirring con-
stantly until the dressing commences
to thicken. Cook and pour over sliced
fruit, any combination desired.
Frozen Cream Cheese Salad.-Add a
half cupful of cream to two cream
cheeses and stir to q smooth paste.
Season with salt, paprika and a little
lemon juice, then turn into a freezer
and freeze slightly. Remove, pack in
a b~rick-shaped mold and cover for two
hours with ice and salt. Then slice
and serve on lettuce leaves with a
French dressing.

The need of d suitable place to
care for colored persons suffering
from tuberculosis was illustrated when
a girl, fourteen years old, in the
last stages of consumption, was
deserted in a rooming house, where
she lived with her aunt, reports the In
d~ianapolis News. Mrs. Mary Mays, a
nurse at the Flower mission, found
the girl alone and penniless. Unable
to find a home for her, Mrs. Mays OBJ
tanned permission to take the girl to
the city hospital for a few days, and
she will make an effort to find a home
for her.
There are many cases in the city now
where sufferers of tuberculosis are
living in want. For ten years the
Woman's Improvement club of colored
women has had a fresh-air camp near
Oak Hill, but citizens neal the camp
prevented the grounds being used for
that purpose this year.
A few weeks ago two cases were re-
ported to the club through the Elan
ner house settlement. There were chill
dren in both homes. No place has
been found where either case can be
| cared for.
What is to be done? This is the
question in the minds of the thinking
class of cOlored people. Up to this
time no colored patient has been cared
for at the state institution for rom
sumptives at Rockville. One or two
exceptional cases were cared for sew
eral years ago at the Flower mission
in this city, but recently the colored
people have not been taken there.
There are perhaps more than 100
children now in the colored schools
who are In the first stages of consump-
ton, and some steps are being taken
for a fresh-air school, which is badly
needed.

In Hawaii grows the worlds rarest
plant, called the silver sword. Its
very name is odd and appropriate to
the cactuslike growth and the long,
silky gray leaves which give it its Pc
culiar name. The reason for it's rarity
is that 1t is found only on the most
inaccessible slopes of the volcanoes of
the group of islands. From the earli-
est times it has been greatly admired
by the natives, who call it "ahinahina,'
gray-haired, because they had never
before the coming of the white nan
seen silver, and therefore could not
apply to the plant a name which well
describes it. Climbers who have found
specimens prize them more highly than
do Alpine climbers the edelweiss, since
1t is far more beautiful and difficult
to obtain than the famous flower of
the Swiss.

length and approximately five inches in diameter, shaped like a torpedo. In
addition to a n explosive charge OF T. N. T, it contains a gas chamber in
which a ley and secret combination of gas is used.
1t is estimated that the bomb has a fatal destructive radius of at least
100 yards.
One of the chief features of the bomb in which it differs radically from
bombs which depend for bursting force on contact with the earth or other
object is that it may be exploded in the air with full power. This is said to
enhance its destructive power to much larger degree than any known form
of contact bomb, a it may he exploded over the heads of troops and spread
gases earthward yer a larger surface o.
By means of IN electric timing device the operator of a aerophne, it
is asserted, will be ahN to regulate to a second the time of the explosion Of
the bomb. Another unique feature of this weapon permits of it's use as a
aerial torpedo when not desired to use it as a drop explosive. The bomb
may be made with a new type of electric motor and propeller, which would
enable the aviation operator to fire it horizontally, n to direct it toward a
target at any angle. The bombs are arranged for attaching to the under
sides Of eropanes, to be released by foot pressure o IN a trigger.
