surprisingly delicious luncheon dishes
devised from left.overs.
KING CHEESE PUDDING.
Line q buttered baking dish with
pieces Of buttered or unbuttered bread.
Cover the bottom of the bread bowl, thus
formed, with q thick layer of grated
cream cheese. Cut up few ripe, green
or stuffed olives and green or red sweet
peppers and sprinkle on top Of cheese.
Add salt, pepper and onion salt. Cover
with slice of buttered bread. II de-
sired, another layer may be made Of
cheese, etc. Have bread for the top.
Use leftover cream of tomato soup or
milk and tomato puree for liquid, adding
TWO eggs, we'll beaten, to each cup of
liquid.
Pour the liquid over the top Of the
pudding and allow 1t to soak we'll into
the bread. The amount of liquid needed
will depend upon the size OF the bowl.
The liquid should not stand above the
top of the bread.
Place the baking dish In pan of
warm water and bake In Q moderate
oven until the pudding 10 firm but
pulled. Test-s silver knife put down
into the center Of the pudding should

and baked to golden brown, gsrnished
with sprig Of parsley, makes the lunch

lily wholesome food.

wants dainty supper or luncheon dish
and should like to tell them of one I
serve that has been frequently taken for
chicken oroquettes. 1t IL also useful
when the supply Of meat and potatoes

or pork, one cup of creamy mashed
potatoes, one oupful of grated bread
crums, seasoning to taste, ono beaten
egg and enough gravy left from the meat
to moisten. Form with Toured hands
into small croquettes and fry to rich,
dark brown. Lay them In . circle
around mound of heated canned peas
that have been drained and deliciously
seasoned and you will receive many com.
pliments on the tasty dish.-Ars. O. B.

GAINS LONG Lead
! Step Toward City Extension Seen in
Results On Legislature.

Baltimore, Nov. 6.-The Republicans
have carried Baltimore by a sub
stantial majority. A. T. Wood, Re-
publican, defeated McMullen, Demo-
crat, for State Comptroller, in the
city by $500 majority.
Judge Stanton, Republican. has de-
feated A. S. ]. Owens, Democrat. by
over 5000 majority. The Republicans
have probably elected Sproesser to
the Senate in the fourth district of
the city, and have elected their candi-
dates for the House of Representative
in the second, third and fourth dis
tricts Of the city.
This is 4 decided step forward for
city extension. Except in the first
district, the candidates endorsed by
the Non-partisan Greater Baltimore
League have won.
Lindsay. Democrat. has defeated
Schirm, Republican, for clerk of the
City Court. by over 5000 majority
CoOnan, Democrat, is reelected City
Surveyor.
The proposed loan of 100000 for
a civic center is defeated. The char
ter board wins by a considerable ma
jority. -!
In the counties the vote is coming
in very slowly, but indications are
that each county has given its usual
Democratic or Republican majority,
as the case might be. Nearly all of
the Eastern Shore, or First district
counties, have gone Democratic, as
usual, with the possible exception of
Somerset and Kent.

BAKER TO CLASSIFY
RESERVE OFFICERS
Secretary of War Determines Pri-
ority of Service.

Secretary of War Baker announced
yesterday that a system is being
worked out to determine the priority
for call of men now being trained at
Officers Training Camps who will be
commissioned in the reserve instead
OF on the active list.
Complaints continue to pour into the
department from all quarters at the
decision that only a percentage of
the men under training will go on
the active list Secretary Baker YES
terday refused comment on charges
OF "broken promises" which have
been made.
All the men Of the third camp series
who win commissions will go on the
reserve list. In the case of drafted
men from the national army, who will
make up large percentage of those
camps, reserve commissions will re-
move them from the operations of the
draft law. Although drafted and now
being trained, they may never see
active service.
