HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
PANCAKES FOR TOMORROW.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

Like plum pudding for Christmas. pam
cakes must be part of the breakfast bill
OF fare for Shrove Tuesday. And for
once In the year you must forget your
prejudices against these not altogether
easily dgested dainties and Indulge TO
your hearts content. Instead OF eating
them for breakfast after the good old
New England custom, 1t Is sometimes
better to serve them for dessert at din
ner. For an old-fashioned shrove Tues
day party, pancakes or naptacks cooked
on large griddle before tho eyes or the
guests would surely be quaint touch.
Buckwheat cakes come first in the list
OF good pancakes. To mako them SIT Two
cupfuls of buckwheat flour with one-half
cup Of white corn meal and one teaspoon
full Of salt. Dissolve a half yeast cake
In half cup of warm water In deep
bowl. Add to 1t two cupfuls OF warm
water and one tablespoonful of molasses
Now add the dry ingredients and beat all
thoroughly. Allow the mixture to rise
all night and in the morning add one
level teaspoonful of soda, and cook on q
hot griddle.
Quick griddle cakes may be made more
easily by mixing three cupfu1s of hour
with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder
and one teaspoonful of salt Mix with
two cupfuls of milk, two well-beaten eggs,
three tablespoonfuls Of melted butter.
and one tablespoonful Of sugar. Proceed
Immediately to pour out In tablespoonfuls
on hot griddle.
Bread grlddle cakes are begun the night
before. The rule calls for two cupfuls
of stale bread and two cupfuls Of milk.
Soak this all night and in the morning
put through a vegetable press. Add one
teaspoonful of salt and one teaspoonful
Of soda dissolved in one-quarter of cup
of water. Add also two tablespoonfuls
Of sugar, two well-beaten eggs and about
one cup of -four to make a smooth bat
ter. Proceed as usual.
Rice griddle cakes call for one cup
full Of milk and one cupful Of cooked
rice, one-half teaspoonful OF salt. two
| eggs. one tablespoonful Of melted butter
| and a scant cup Of -four.
Mix the milk and the rice and add the
salt and the well-beaten yolks of the
eggs and the butter. Beat till creamy
| and then add the -four, mix and fold
in the beaten whites of the eggs.
Cornmeal griddle cakes are easy and
quick to make. Pour one and a halt
| cupfuls Of salted boiling water over one
half cupful Of cornmeal Boil for five
| minutes and then add two tablespoon
fuls of sugar and one well-beaten egg
| two tablespoonfuls of melted butter and
| one and quarter cupfuls of hot milk
| Into this stir one pint of white flour and
one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking
| powder.
Sour-milk griddle cakes call for two
| and a half cupfuls of -four, one TEASPOON.
| full of salt and one and a half teaspoon.
| fuls Of soda. Stir this into one pint
| of sour milk and add one weIl-beaten
egg and a tablespoonful of sugar. Mix
wen and drop on a hot Eriddle pan in
tablespoonful

Many planets conflict for power today,
but the rule is beneficial Early in the
morning Saturn is adverse and later
Jupiter and Neptune are in evil place
Mercury, the Sun, Mars and Venus are in
benefic aspect during hours OF greatest
activity.
Saturn is in a place most unfavorable
to the affairs Of the aged. The death Of
famous man is presaged.
Mines and mining will give cause for
much public concern, the seers predict.
An accident as well as a serious strike
has been predicted.
Shrinkage in real estate values in Ger
tain cities is indicated. This may be due
to industrial changes.
Credit In the United States may be Sc
riously impaired. Bankers and merchants
come under a sign read as foreshadowing
a sudden panic attended by business
failures.
On this day commerce and shipping
appear to be under a threatening sway.
The loss of valuable cargoes is prognos-
ticated. Again danger to vessels on the
Pacific coast is probable and q wreck
with loss Of life is prophesied.
This should be a lucky day for we'd
dings and love affairs, especially where
writers. painters and musicians are con-
cerned.
Increase Of marriages. long foretold
will be so great in the spring that per-
sons of all ages will wed, the old being
especially susceptible.
Startling discoveries concerning condi-
tons after death will be made, astrolo-
gers announce, and this prediction first
published at the beginning of the war, is
likely to be fulfilled in a manner that
will be more sensational than any pre-
vious revelations by means of mediums.
Canada pla
government that is most promising for
trade and business, but scandals in pri-
vate and official life are foreshadowed.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is may meet
with lusSes and disappointments, but they
can succeed by strict attention to busi-
ness. They should not take any risks.
Children born on this day may spend
money rather recklessly as they are like

Hundreds lined the Avenue Saturday
afternoon. They were watching the Boy
Scouts parade. As the procession filed

cheered. They enjoyed f. It thrilled
them.
A newsboy stood on the curb-tope
Probably his enjoyment was keenest.
Yet, unlike those about him, he was not
through with his days labor.
Under his arm he carried a quantity
OF unsold papers. But for the time being
he forgot all about them. For there,
marching past him were boys of his own
age.
They were clad In bright khaki, with
shining stripes. He looked down at his
own impoverished attire. His blouse, un-
buttoned. hung loose; his coat, besmst-
tered with mud, his shoes were almost
soleless.
He didn't whimper. But there was a
look Of longing in his eyes. For these
boys were Of his own age, and even news
boys like to play soldiers."

aims which France, Great Britain and
Russia had with respect to establish

and greater security for tho entente
forces engaged in operations in the
east. While he informed the premier
that troops had been placed at his
disposal, he appealed to that ofncial
to use his influence toward q peaceful
settlement. The troops, according to
M. Jonnart's instructions, were not to

There were several men who asked

admitted the truth. One fellow, It is

KING CONSTANTINE OF GREECE
ADVOCATES HIS THRONE; PRINCE
ALEXANDER, SECOND SON, TO RULE
Entente Allies Force Pro-Ger1nan King to Leave Throne
Grown Prince is arred-Constantine Has
Been One of Stumbling Blocks.

Athens. via Paris. June l3-The fall Of Constantine I, king
OF the HeLenes, has come. In response to the demand Of the
protecting powers, France, Great Britain and. R,ssis, he abdi-
Gated yesterday in favor Of his second son, Prince Alexander.
This climax in the affairs of Greece was brought about
through the agency Of the French senator, M. Jonnart, who
arrived at Athens only a day or two ago on a special mission
as the representative of France, Great Britain and Russia. The
demands OF the powers respecting the abdication of King Con-
stantine also specifically eliminated Crown Prince George -
his successor, the crown prince being included among those
Greeks in official life who were considered strongly pro-Gezman.
Both the former king and Prince George, 1t was announced
yesterday by Premier Zaimis. intend to leave the country Inn
mediately. tits reported they will embark on a British warship
and proceed to Switzerland by way Of Italy. 1t is presumed
that Prince Alexander will take up his, hdnziy duties with full
accepadon of the ideas which the protecting powers desire 10
be put into effect in the government of Greece during the pcss-
et war. He is "a years Of age and has been. freefrous ann.
