Under a Fortnight - Con-
gressmen Going to
Washington

New York, Jan. 25s--Hearings in New
York on the charge that there was leak
of the contents OF President WILSON,:
peace note came to an abrupt halt yes.
terday afternoon when the Henry inves.
tigating committee found itself unable at
once to obtain statements from Wall
street brokers that are expected to estab.
lish definitely whether there was a leak.
When the committee was informed au-
thoritatively after noon that the resolu-
tion adopted Tuesday night by the board
of governors of the New York Stock Ex-
change requesting" all of the members
to prepare complete statements of their
short and long transactions from Dec.
1923 would require not less than two
weeks to fulfill, the members went into
executive session. An hour later, or
shortly before o'clock, Chairman Henry
OF the committee announced that the
members had voted to ask the board OF
governors to reframe their request, so
that it would contain specific state
ment as to the information the commit
tee desires. Mr.. Henry said however,
that it would not materially change the
original request adopted by the board OF
governors Tuesday night. Nevertheless,
he said, it would necessitate another
meeting of the board of governors which
was to be held late yesterday. Pres.
Noble OF the New York Stock Exchange
attended the executive session of the
committee, members Of
which pointed out that if they had to
wait for two weeks to get the statements
from the hundreds of individual brokers
the information would be vaIueless UNI
less Congress extended the time within
which the committee must file its report.
Even then, they said, action could hardly
be expected before Congress adjourns
March 4. Mr.. Henry in announcing the
result OF the executive session, said that
there would be no session yesterday and
probably none to-day. He said that a
few of the congressman would go to
Washington last night to attend the eau
uses of their respective parties and that
the Others would remain in this
.ity to await the action of the board of
governors of the exchange. The chair
nan was unable to say whether he would

itay here. He could not say when the |
lext hearings would be held. but expect |

Whole Expedition Prepares
for Withdrawal from
Mexico
VILLA AND ZAPATA
AGAINST CARRANZA
The Latter Getting Back to
Some Bad Prac-
tees

Washington, Jan. 25.-Troop move
ments preliminary to withdrawal of the
American expedition from Mexico are be.
ing carried out at the southern end OF
the American line and as soon as they
are complete the main body of the expe-
dition probably will start north. For
the first time officials admitted Tuesday
that the withdrawal of outposts about
Colonia Dublan had more than local
significance,
Officials are much interested in grow
ing evidences that determined strug-
gle for possession of the territory evae-
uated by General Pershing may be in
progress soon between Carranza troops
and revomtionists. Villa and Zapata are
reported TO have allied themselves for
operations against Carranza.
Meantime raising of the embargo on
arms to Mexico and the dispatch of
Ambassador Fletcher to Mexico City re-
delayed by two developments construed
in some quarters as renewal of prae-
tees of the CarranZa government against
which the United States repeatedly has
protested. Officials are unfayorably inn
pressed by the drastic measures taken
by the first chief against two banks
whose metallic reserve recently was
seized, and by what some contend is
revival of persecution of the Roman
Catholic clergy. The fate of the two
priests arrested in Mexico charged with
is unknown. The state de-
partment already has made earnest rep
in their behalf.

either by boiling or roasting, and the
! fact that the small boy and small cir
manage to survive series of autumn
between meals of raw chestnuts does hot
indicate that you could.
1 Chestnuts are so rich in food value
that they really ought not to be taken as
between. meal tidbit at ali, but as a
| vegetable substitute. Every epicure will
| tell you that the flavor of cooked chest
nuts is excellent in combination with
turkey and other birds, or with roast
lamb or beef.
The best way to prepare them for the
purpose of serving them as vegetable is
to wash them thoroughly and cut at the
stem end with two missions of sharp
knife so as to make cross. They should
then be tied in napkin or piece of
cheesecloth and allowed to boil When
tender they should be taken from the
water and served on dish in clean
folded napkin.
For creamed chestnuts the nuts should
first be washed and peeled. They should
then be boiled and when tender taken
out and peeled again, The first peeling
takes off the heavy shell and the second
the tough white filament within. A
white sauce which may be thinned with
the water in which the chestnuts have
been boiled should be made and poured
over them just before sending to the Ia
BILE.
To make chestnut stufling for turkey
or chicken the nuts should first be boiled
and then peeled and pounded in a NOR
tar or put through a fine vegetable cut
ter. To them should be added an equal
quantity of fine bread crumbs, little
butter, pepper and salt and a triAe of
lemon juice.

Topics of the:
Home and
Household.

Keep coarse sandpaper in the kitchen
and use it for cleaning kettles that are
burned or for removing anything that
has stuck to pan in the process of cook
ing.
To draw a small cork from bottle
use medium-sized brass cup hook and
draw gently. The hook will not break
the cork, yet will give purchase to the
hand. The hook may be left in the cork
il you choose, to be used each time the
bottle is opened
good solution for soap bubbles may
be made as follows: To one quart of
warm, soft water add enough soap to
make suds; then add one tablespoonful
of glycerine. Mothers will find that soap
bubbles made in this way will last longer
and will provide great fun for the chill
dren on stormy days.
A good way to clean brass is to pour
strong ammonia on it, scrub it well with
a brush, rinse it in cold water and polish
with a soft and dry cloth. Old or dirty
brasswork may be satisfactorily cleaned
in this way. Lacquered brass should be
washed occasionally with warm, soapy
water and then dried with soft cloth
and polished with clean dry chamois
skin.
Oven cloths made of denim are service
able, as they are both thick and durable.
One way to make them is to cut out two
pieces of denim one yard long and six
inches wide, sew the two pieces together
and turn back the ends about six inches,
making pockets at both ends, in which
the hands are slipped to prevent them
from getting burned when taking hot
pan from the oven.
Egg Hints.
A tiny pinch of salt added to the
whites of eggs will cause them to beat up
quickly.
A tablespoonful of ice water added to
each white of egg before beating will
double the Quantity.
To prevent eggs from cracking when
boiling always dip them first in cold wa.
ter.
BY using various colors to mark cloth :
ing each child having its own color, much ,
time may be saved in sorting and putting
away the childrens belongings. In one
family where there were four children /
between the ages of four years and IL
each child had his or her own color. The
eldest had red, the next one white, the
third blue and the youngest yellow. Each
childs stockings and underwear had a
small mark of the allotted color Tow
els, washcloths, etc, were bought, when
possible, with the distinguishing color in
the border. 0vershoes were marked as
well as caps. The children learned to put
their belongings in place, for the color
showed at d glance just who was care
less, if anybody was.
