THE HOUSEHOLD EDITED By ANNE RITTENHOUSE
Variety in Eggplant

We are all glad when eggplants ap- pear in the market, but many of us use them infrequently because we think that the only way to serve them is fried sauted. And many of us have an aver sion to foods cooked in this way. Food fried in deep hot fat and properly drained ought not to be indigestible to anyone in good health, but it is diff cult to consider 1t as really wholesome.
 It is possible to cook eggplants in many ways, however, in which fat has no part. For one thing 1t may be scalloped. To prepare it in this way, remove the skin and cut the eggplant in cubes measuring about an inch. Boil this in slightly

shown by Alice Joyce, Vitagraph star,
playing the leading role 10 IAN Ala

Blue Ribbon Feature. which will be
the attraction at the Republic Theatre
for tonight. Miss Joyce was an ar
lists model and not in love with her
work, when the Kalem company need
ed an expert horsewoman in one of
their productions. She applied for
the job, although she had never ridden
horse in her life.
The 'stunt" was for Miss Joyce to
ride horse at breakneck speed, to
sway halfway fran the saddle and
hitch mail bag to a post. After
difficulty in gaining the saddle and
keeping her balance, she started the
horse on its journey. Going ST head
long pace, she clung desperately to the
neck of the horse and nearing the post,
involuntarily flung herself from the
saddle and succeeded in attaching the
bag to the post. After this display of
daring she was made regular MEM

HEAVY TRUCKS ON
ROADS ARE DOOMED
Must Go Or Improved Roads VIII
Go To Pieces.
THE DAMAGE IS IRREPARABLE
Bottom Layers Of Rock Ground Iuto
Dust BY Vibration Caused By
LAUNDERING Vehicles.

The heavy trucks must go or
Maryland's stone roads will go to
pieces.
The discovery has been made that
the numbering trucks cause vibra-
ton in the roads, and this vibration is
grinding the rock underlying the
foundation into dust With this
foundation gone, the roads collapse.
Because of this pulverizing process
the Roads Commission has decided on
the policy of building no more stone
roads. Concrete viii be the material
to be used in the future. Although
concrete construction is more costly
at first, it is cheaper in the long run,
meeting, in addition, the requirements
OF horse wagons, because horses find
more secure footing than on the
smooth-surfaced macadam roads.
The stone roads were not built for
heavy traffic In fact. the heavy motor
trucks We're unknown when the State
first embarked on the construction Of
good roads. The smooth roads have
created the trucks. Taking the ex-
perience of Massachusetts, after
whose stone roads those of Maryland
were patterned, several years will
elapse before the Maryland roads will
have a foundation deep enough and
strong enough to stand even moderate
traffic, with the heavy trucks elimi-
mated This foundation comes by the
constant piling of rock on the surface.
1t is the same process by which old
turnpikes were made durable. At
some points on the Frederick turnpike
the rock is said to be six feet deep.
This and other turnpiSes, which have
teen smooth-surfaced, can stand the
heavy traffic without injury

brother loses an important government
paper and Togo takes the blame for
this, thereby being disowned by his
father. Togo determines t. 90 to
America, and on his srrival there gets
3 job as butler with rh- Reynolds
family. Carlos Anthony is executor
OF the dead Reynolds estate, and has
used some of the funds for himself.
To make up for this he FORCES his
former partners name to a note
which, If paid. would leave Mrs. Rey-
nolds and her daughter, Corinne, prsc-
tically penniless. Anthony agrees to
tear up the note providing Corinne
marries him, but she is in love with
DIR. Garland. At last she agrees to
the wedding to save her mother.
Togo finds the torn up note and psstes
it together. He gets a job in a news

vent the wedding and succeed in doing
so. The doctor and Corinne are happy
again, and Togo returns to Japan vim

The picturesque and humorous Let

who laughed at the twisted English

superb acting of the famous Japanese
star. Sessue Hsyakawa, and a Lasky

a most realistic Togo and he plays the
rule with understanding, registering
his comedy scenes as surely as he does
those of dramatic nature. With a

around stolen government paper be-
