LONDON, Feb. N-Reports that Bull
garia, her work In the war ended. II
seeking a separate peace. came to Lon
don yesterday from Athens. The infor-
nation in the Greek capital came from
entente diplomatic quarters. and much
reliance Is placed In Its authenticity.
There Is no mention of the terms under
which the Bulgars would withdraw from
the conflict.
Diplomatists here attribute the rumor-
ed desire for peace to the fact that Bull
garia, having attained the objective that
drew her into the war. has nothing fur
ther to fight for. Her quarrel primarily
was with Serbia. She desired the crush
ing OF the Serb kingdom, and she had
her eyes on that part Of Macedonia ac-
quired by her neighbor after The second
Balkan war; Having. by the weight of
her army In alliance with the Austro-
uermnns, occupied the whole OF Serbia.
her principal ambition has been salts
fed. and she we'll may be willing to ease
the financial load on her shoulders by
rehabilitation.
Bulgaria entered the struggle on Oc-
tober II last by declaring war on Serbia
and following up the declaration with
q swift advance over the Serbian from
tier on Nish. the temporary capital OF
KING Peter

Bulgaria's entrance into the war

or at least to insure her neutrality.
Bulgaria, however. after seeming to
lean first to one side than to the other.
and always preparing for 'histilitIes
finally rejected the othern OF the entente
powers and FIVE days after the occupa-
ton OF Belgrade by the big Austro-G Ger
man army under Field Marshal Won
Mackcn sen she took up arms against
Serbia.
AT that time Bulgarian statesmen an
nounced that the quarrel OF bulgaria
was with Serbia. and not with the other
members of the entente. The principal
question OF dispute was the Macedonian
territory occupied by the Serbs and
Greeks after the second Balkan war. In
which Bulgaria was robbed OF the fruits
of her Victories over the Turks In the
first Balkan war.
Efforts were made by the. entente
! dlplomatlsts TO have Serbia and Greece
cede some OF the disputed territory TO
Bulgaria as a price for her neutrality.

Cutler-Hammer Electric Table Stove.
Made by the Cutler-Hammer Mfg. Cox 44th St.

the current from an ordinary lamp socket. In
one small oblong stand, on four slim little legs,
you have frying pan, griddle, toaster, broil-
err, saucepan and small oven.
The heater is made of two sheet steel plates
which are welded together and inclose the
heating elements. This can be placed above

type of cooking demanded.
The stand and all of the cooking vessels are
made of steel, nickel plated. There are
rectangular water pan, with cover and ebonized
wooden handle, an aluminium griddle, toast
ing screen and broiling screen.
If anything is to be boiled, the heater is
placed under the pan. For broiling or frying
the heater goes on top of the pan. The griddle
and toaster are, of course, placed directly over
the heater. flexible cord with three-heat
switch is connected with the ebonzed wooden

:Modern Inventions fire
Making Housekeeping
d Modern Industry
Walker Electric Dish Washer,
Made by Walker Bros. Company, Syracuse, N.

Made by Walker Bros. Company, Syracuse, ~ l.
Many dishwashers have been invented and
nut on the market in the hope Of solving that
apparently most hopeless of all the problems
Of the housewife-dish washing.
Some are run by electricity, some by hand,
but the majority of them are large, elaborate
affairs that, while an ideal convenience for the
housekeeper who has a large family and dishes
10 correspond, is somewhat cumbersome when
there are comparatively few dishes to be
washed.
The Walker Electric Dish Washer is neither
large nor cumbersome, and it does the work
with thoroughness and dispatch. 1t is cylin-
der, 22l5 inches in diameter, and is either
mounted on a portable base with three steel
legs or provided with wall support brackets,
which attach it solidly to the wall and allow
a permanent connection TO be made with the
water supply and waste pipes.
While the portable base is best if the ma
chine must be moved from place to place, we
recommend the wall fixture, as this does away
with the work and bother of carrying water
every time the machine is filled or emptied.
In the bottom of the cylinder is a single
blade dasher, so geared that it will be revolved
by the motor placed on the under frame work
ings. Two circular wire trays, one plain and
one with concentric racks, are fitted into the
cylinder. The plain tray is meant for glasses
and cups, which are turned upside down upon
it; and the tray with the racks holds silver
ware and china in such manner that the sill
yer is exnosed on all sides to the water and
the plates are kept on edge and well apart
After the loaded trays have been placed in the
machine, ten auaUts off bat, soapy water are
run in and .i.e niuLor Is turned OH.
For washing, the machine is run for about
two minutes, as the dasher sends the water
against the dishes with such force that they
are cleansed thoroughly in this time. The
soapy water is hen drawn off and the machine
run for another minute with clear, boiling-hos
rinse water, which sterilizes the dishes and
leaves them lcady for drying in the racks.
AS the dasher is the only thing in the cylin-
der that moves, no possible injury can occur
TO china or glassware.
The cost of operation Is two and ;hree-quar.
ter cents per hour. The cost as estimated
here is based on a rate Of 10 cents per kilowatt
hour. The price of both types is the same, $75.

allow the purchase Of the rOasts, the
fish dinners for Tuesday and Friday
have been selected from the less ex-
pensive varieties of the fish family.
Three pounds Of Goldfish in solid
piece will be required for boiling and
about two and half pounds OF the
pan fish, according to their size.
In purchasing the roast OF pork. get
the piece consisting of the tender chops
and have the butcher chop through the
bones, so that the heat may penetrate

the fat before cooking with sharp
knife into tiny squares, as not only
does il give the roast very attractive
appearance. but il may be more easily
carved, without tearing Oh large, un-
slightly pieces Of the crisp fat.
In practising that due measure OF
economy which should be the aim of
every careful caterer, small portions
Of cooked vegetables will be found to
answer admirably as the basis of a de-
licious cream soup for luncheon. Few
dishes are more acceptable on crisp

Westinghouse Electric Pot Type Percolator
Made by the Westinghouse Electric and Mfg
Co., East Pittsburgh, Penn.

THE pleasant thing about percolator Is
that the coffee can be prepared at the
table and the process repeated indef-
nitely so long as fresh coffee is desired.
When it is an electric percolator, the top
notch Of convenience in eofee-making is at
tanned, because all one has to do is to put the
coffee in the basket or container, fill the pot
with cold water and turn on the switch. In
either ten or fifteen minutes, according to the
strength desired. the coffee will be ready for
the cups.
The cold water in this percolator will be boil
ing in one and half minutes, when percola-
ton begins and continues steadily until the
coffee has reached the desired strength.
Of course, the continued contact with the
water draws out more of the cafetannic acid
than is released in the fltering process, and
consequently the infusion has more OF an
edge" to it than the mild, aromatic product
