FEDERAL RADIO MONOPOLY

Secretary of Navy Warns House of
Menace 10 Pre-War Plans

Menace 10 Pre-War Plans
Washington, Jan. 2.--An absolute
government monopoly Of radio commu-
nication as measure of national
safety was advocated to-day By Secre-
tsry Daniels in a letter TO the Com
merce and Marine committees Of the
Senate and House, outlining the Navy
Departments views on the pending
radio control bill drafted by an inter-
departmental conference.
"The department strongly recon-
menGs that the committee provide for
the purchase of all stations used for
commercial purposes. The value Of
existing stations is constantly increas-
ing, and decisive action at this time
will result in a saving of public
funds" the Secretary wrote.
Government monopoly, the Secretary
continues, would furnish means 10

stations and consequent loss Of time
during the night hours. when radio
communication is at its best; would
eliminate confusion IN sending or re-
ceiying distress signals, would insure
tho maximum possible communication
with naval ships, would decrease the
difficulties of maintaining radio neu-
trslity and would make possible a mili'
tary censorship in advance OF an out
break Of hostilities.
The Secretary urges also that re-
strictiors of the bill against alien
operators on American ships be MADE
more drastic, and that such aliens be
nermitted 10 serve only in emergencies.

GARDEN IS SOLD;
FATE UNCERTAIN
Mysterious Syndicate Said
to Have Paid $2,475,000
for Property

Madison Square Garden passed from
the hands of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company yesterday into those OF
syndicate, mysterious both as to
hackers and as to plans.
Before March /, when the physical
transfer is TO be made, the buyers
promise TO let New York know what -
TO happen to the Garden-whether it is
to remain as it has been for the last
twentv-six years. the home Of the
circus. Of Buffalo Bill" of the six-day
"bike" race. Of the occasional prizetight
and the political rally; whether it is to
be torn down TO make way for a sky
scraper of greater financial productlv-
ity, or whether partial alterations are
projected to redeem 1t from the white
elephant class.
Announcement of the sale was made
by Edward ]. Devlin, real estate man
ager for the life insurance company,
which acquired the Garden at fore
closure sale on December s. The price
paid by the company, which had lent
several hundred thousands in excess Of
that figure on first mortgage, was 81
100000.
Purchased by Syndicate
"The purchaser is syndicate
headed by W. Carman Roberts. of 142
East Eighteenth Street" said Mr.. Dew
lin. 81 would prefer that any further
details come from him"
Mr. Roberts said that those associ-
ated with him were not ready to come
into the open now, but would soon
make q public announcement Of their
programme. He declined 10 say
whether Tex Rickard, who had been
mentioned prior to the foreclosure sale
as a possible purchaser, was inter
ested: nor would he reveal the con-
sderation involved.
Edmund W Kingsland, Of Ogden e.
Clarkson, which succeeded in getting
the Garden of the life insurance COM
pany's hands in less than a month after
10 was forced to take it over, indicated
that the price was close 70 S2,475,OOO
One of the many rumors that have
arisen was that the Morgan interests,
which failed 10 protect second mort
gage of S600,00 at the foreclosure sale,
were behind the purchasing syndicate.
However Bryan l.. Kennedy, the auc-
tioneer under whose hammer the Gar
den was knocked down TO the New
York Life, said yesterday that he be
lieved the Morgans were not inter
csted
Not for Horse Show Crowd
Mr.. Kennedy also put the quletus to
another report, to the effect that the
Horse Show crowd" intended TO save
the Garden.
81 have heard he said, chat the
Vanderbilt interests plan TO build a
permanent new home for the Horse
Show north of the Grand Central Ter
minsl."
That the Roberts syndicate plans to
remodel the Garden and put in stores
along the Twenty and Twenty
seventh Street sides IS considered
likely in realty circles.

MAKES MOST TASTY oMELET
Prepared With Kidneys 1t Is "Some- thing Different" From the Usual
 Run of Egg Mixtures.

Melt two tablespoonfuls of bacon drippings in a frying pan; add two lambs kidneys that have been cut into dice and toss them about in the hot dripping for three minutes. Then add sufficient thick brown sauce to moisten, and season with pinch of paprika and one tablespoonful of wor- cestershire sauce. Prepare an ordinary omelet from the yolks of four eggs beaten with little salt, pepper and four tablespoonfuls of water, and when very light fold in the stiff1y whipped egg whites. Turn into an omelet pan in which has been melted one tablespoon full of butter and cook very slowly un- til we'll risen. Then spread with the kidney mixture, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and turn over, after loosening the sides, into a neat half circle. Tip the pan gently, so that the interior of the omelet may cook through, and serve inverted on a hot platter.

ADJUSTED IN WRONG PLACE
How Misunderstanding of Use of Life Preservers Brought Death to
 ShipWrecked Persons.

A most vivid illustration of the pow CT of mere words over human beings was once brought to the attention of the French people by Francisque Sar- cey.
 After the wreck of French liner many passengers were found floating drowned with life-preservers on. These life-preservers were fastened upon the bodies, but round the middle instead of under the arms, and the greater weight of the upper part of the body had tipped the head under water, and the person, of course, was inevitably drowned.
 Now it appears that the greater number of persons so drowned were French. The French term for life-preserver is ceinture de sauvetage, or 'life-saying belt" This word cein- ture suggests to the mind, in its mo- ments of disorder and unreadiness such as great catastrophe brings, the idea of putting on belt, and,

DESSERT TO TEMPT INVALID
Baked Milk With stewed or Fresh Fruit Is Appetizing and Can
 Do No Harm.

A perfectly innocuous dessert for the most delicate of patients is pro- vided by baked milk, and it makes a very pleasant accompaniment for stewed or fresh fruit. It is very sim ply prepared, as the milk is merely put into an earthen ware jar, covered tight ly and allowed to bake in very slow oven for several hours, until it is of the consistency of very thick cream. The main attraction about that recipe is its harmlessness, but a really deli cious and nutritious pudding can be made from the following:
 Rice Flour Pudding.-One-half pint milk, two tablespoonfuls cream, one ounce butter, one ounce rice flour, whites of two eggs, fiavoring, one ta- blespoonful sugar. Put the milk, but ter and sugar into a saucepan and bring just to the boiling point; mix the rice, four and cream well together and stir into the boiling milk; draw to one side to cool and beat the whites of egg to stiff froth, then add them to the rest, folding them carefully in so as not to break down their fluffiness. Pour into fireproof dish and bake in a quick oven until a light golden brown.

wept Shakuntala. She remembered the ring, but when she would have shown it to him, it was not on her finger where he had placed it. Then she re called that during her journey when she bent down to worship at the holy Ganges, something had fallen into the water.
 Fate is too strong for me-" said she. But I will tell you something. One day in the bower you were holding a lotus-leaf cup full of water, and when fawn approached, you coaxed him to drink, but he would not. Yet when I took the cup and held 1t out, he liked it and drank deep. Then you smiled and said: Everyone trusts his own kind. You both belong to the sacred grove. :"
 Tt is just such women, selfish, sweet, false, that entice fools," said the blind ed king.
 On the moment she was snatched away by the gods and there was empti- ness where she had stood before the dazzled king.
 Scarcely had she vanished, when the kings officers brought him his ring. It had been found in carp of the Ganges by fisherman. Its sight restored the kings memory and he cried aloud. He wept and lasted.
 When he had suffered so for many a long month, he stood one day on his cloud balcony which overhung his pal ace at such a height that even the royal peacocks dared not fly to it. | A chariot swept from the sky. It was guided by Matali, the charioteer of Indra, heavens king. "Enterl" said 1 Matali.
 The chariot bore Dushyanta to a mountain from whose Hanks. that sank into the eastern and western seas, there dripped gold as from cloud at 1 sunset. It was Golden Peak, the home of the fairy Centaurs. There dwelled a man so holy that for years he had stood, postlike and desolate. in an ant hill that had grown around him.
 In this holy sanctuary the king found two hermit-women who watched Q boy that played with lion cubs and dragged them from their mother as if they were kittens and she harmless cat. Tt makes me thrill to see him!" thought Dushyanta. "Why should my heart go out to this child of stranger? Ah! What measureless content must fill the man who calls this boy his own!"
 As the boy struggled with cub, an amulet slipped from his wrist. The king stopped, and the hermit-women screamed wildly at him not to touch it. But he had it in his hand. He has touched it!" they said, and looked at him in astonishment.
 "A holy man gave it to the child" said they, wondering. Tt was decreed that if anyone touch it, instantly it would turn into serpent and sting him to death. Many times have we seen this, oh stranger! There be only three may touch it in safety-the boy, his mother, Shakuntala, or his father, Dushyanta"
 They ran to call Shakuntala. Half fearing, half-hopeful. she advanced, wearing her hair in one long braid in token of being forsaken. Her worn face looked at the kings countenance that was drawn with long grief.
 He fell at her feet and cried: "Black madness flies! The loving star draws to the moon!"
 Matali stopped. Was not this mat ter known to Indra?" asked King Dush- yanta humbly.
 What is hidden from the Godsi' said Matali. smiling.
