 WASHINGTON. Feb 2S.- OppOsi- ton in congress to granting President Wilson authority to protect American rights and lives on sea began melting today and the administrators leaders confidently predicted action within another 24 hours.
 There were indications that many of the Republicans of the senate. who though favOring the steps proposed. insist that congress should be called in extra session, would vote for the measure requested by the President when the roll was called. The chief. if not the only reason. for uncertain ty was found in the attitude of Sena- tor LafOlette. who has given irdica- tions of preparing for single handed filibuster ini the closing hours Of the session.
 Details of the destruction of the Cunard liner Laconis published in the morning papers and telling of the sui fering and death of an American mother and daughter among the pas sengers had its effect during the day.

FL PASO, Feb. 28.-Because of the spread of pneumonia, measles and humps among the soldiers of this district, quarantine has been placed upon their camps by the order >f General Bell. The army medical authorities advised the measure, which is aimed to keep the men as much as possible in the open air. Only soldiers on military business will be permit ted to go to El Paso, although all can move freely among the camps.
 The order is explained as pre- csutionary, since the moving pie ture theatres and other crowded resorts are blamed f,f the spread of the contagious diseases, of which pneumonia is the most feared. The percentage of sick ness, however, is not high, the medical officers state.

HOW TO CHOOSE
GOOD POTATOES
Smooth More Desirable Than
Rough Ones Says
Specialists

Washington, Jan. 23.-The follow
ing suggestions to housewives by home
economics specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture are
made in regard to the selection of po-
tatoes for table use.
In purchasing potatoes for table
purposes, the following points should
be kept in mind: First, that smooth
potatoes are more desirable than
rough ones. because they are more
easily prepared, and less loss is in
VOWED in the pairing. Second that
tubers which have been exposed to
light for any considerable period soon
acquire more or less acrid taste;
for this reason, newly harvested pota-
toes, II mature, are preferable for the
winters supply to those which have
been kept for any considerable period
under unsuitable conditions. Third,
that very large potatoes are not espe-.
cially desirable, partly on account of
the greater length of time required to
COOK them uniformly, and partly be-
cause they are often very variable in
texture. Fourth, a good potato should
be firm and crisp when cut, and a thin
cross section when held between the
eye and the light should show a rela-
lively uniform distribution of starch
throughout its whole area; as opposed
TO large, translucent, watery, central
area which denotes a lack of starch
In this portion of the tuber. The even
distribution of starch insures greater
uniformity in cooking and in texture
of the flesh when cooked
If lot is not uniform, it is often
worth While to sort them and use the
large ones with roast meats. or at
! other times when the oven need not be
especially heated. and save the small
| ones for occasions when quick cooking
is more convenient When the pota-
toes are very large, or time is press
ing, 1t is often desirable to increase
the surface exposed to the heat by cut
ting them in pieces before cooking, in
spite of the fact that this slightly in
creases the amount of nutrients lost
If they are pared and cut into small
cubes or thin slices, they will cook
very quickly and may then be cream
ed mashed or served in other WAYS.
