Says Husband Took Cash
Magistrate Asked How Much
Woman Should Spend
ON Clothes

Magistrate Kochendorfer. presiding
the Long Island City police court,
was called on yesterday to decide how
much woman should spend for her
clothes. Before attempting a decision
the magistrate appealed to Miss Mary
Hickey, probation officer, for expert
advice. Even then he hesitated to face
the issue and adjourned the case be-
tore him. The magistrate declined to
say, however, whether he contemplated
seeking further counsel on the perplex-
ing matter
The troubles of the magistrate came
about through those of Mr.. and Mrs.
!gidio Delari, of $40 Hamilton Street,
Long Island City. Both are workers
and according to the testimony. Mrs
Delari. who had summoned her hus-
band to court, complained because he
insisted on taking all her money.
The husband admitted that the state
nlent of his wife was correct, but
insisted he did so because she was
extravagant. He claimed she spent
altogether too much for clothes.

Says Investigation Will Be
Much Broader Than
Mayor Supposes
No Conflict Intended
+. S. c. Aims to Sift Problems
Brought About by
the War

Chairman Charles Buckley Hubbell
of the Public Service Commission re-
piled yesterday TO the recent letter
from Mayor Hylan Disappearing of the
commissions investigation of surface
transit companies in New York City.
The Mayor said such an investigation
at this time would interfere materially
with the invest igation and study of the
surface line companies being made by
the Franchise Committee of the Board
of Estimate in view of their petitions
for an increase in fares.
The chairman assured the Mayor it
was the commissions duty to inquire
INTO the condition of the street rail-
road companies, especially as they are
affected by the war. He said the in
VVestlgation was intended to be much
broader than Mayor HVlan seemed to
think, and that the Mayor was evi-
IDENTIFY laboring under a misapprehen-
sion as to its real purpose.
Under P. S. c. Law
Chairman Hubbell pointed out that
the investigation of the traction COM
panles was instituted under the Public
Service commissions law, which imposes
upon the commission the duty to keep
informed "as to their general condi-
ton, their capitalization, their fran
chises and the manner in which their
lines and property are managed con-
Quoted and operated" The chairman
said the commission did not feel that
the investigation would in any way
interfere with the inquiry and study Of
the situation being made by the Fran
chise Committee of the Board Of EST
mate.
Under this power and duty the com
mission he said, "has at various times
instituted inquiries of searching

Geo. Menagh and Co. are advertis.
ing this week a sale of 5000 head OF
sheep and are appealing to the people
of Crawford county to turn the rough
feed in this county that will go to
waste into profit.
- Throughout the United States the
people have taken up the raising. of
sheep purely from patriotic stand
point. President Wilson has been
grazing sheep on the white house lawn
this year and thousands of people
have followed his example and are
converting the waste feed into profit.
The sheep consist of feeding lambs,
feeding ewes, wethers, bucks and
breeding ewes and lambs. The sheep
will be sold in any quantity from one
up to car load lots and are priced from
$495 upwards. '..-

FISH DAY MENU.
FROGS LEGS.

TIME legs should be rinsed and
wiped dry with soft, clean CLOTH
Epicures usually agree that the
best way to cook frogs legs IS to fry
them in deep fat. To 60 about this the
legs should first be left in boiling water,
to which has been added little salt
andk lemon juice for three or four min
utes. They should then be drained on a
cloth or piece Of porous paper and then
dipped in fritter batter and fried quick
" in deep fat. Some persons prefer to
have the frogs legs simply dipped III
milk or milk and egg before frying, but
the fritter batter gives them more crisp
ness and makes them look little more
tempting. .IttEsIh
The Creole Way.-Here is the Creole
way of cooking frogs legs. Place
dozen legs in. an earthen dish with a
sprinkhng of lemon juice and allow
them to remain there covered for two
hours. Now place two ounces Of butter
in saucepan with little onion (lf the
flavor is liked) and bit OF minced
green pepper and cook gently for five
minutes. Add the legs, cover the dish
and allow them to cook for few min
utes. Now add four sliced ripe toma-
toes and half a cupful Of mushrooms.
Place a cover on the saucepan and al
low this to cook till the legs are tender.
For Invahds.-AlthOugh frogs legs
are counted among the most delectable
Of flesh foods, they are, unlike many
dainties, very wholesome and may be
served to invalids and convelesceEts
with impuity. The best way to pre-
pare them for the sick room would be
to parboil them and then dip them IN
milk and eggs and fry them in deep
fat. Fried foods are not usually the
most wholesome, but by this method
there is no hard crust on. the surface,
which is the usual cause Of the objec-
ton to fried dishes. If stewed frogs
legs are preferred for invalids do not
add the cream to the gravy and omit
the onion and bay leaf in the flavor

These sheep, considering that you can get ex-

on basis that, I'VE believe, is the lowest in the
United States. We know of no place where you
can buy sheep at the price that we are selling
them for this sale. This sale will last for four
weeks, and we believe that every farmer owes
it to himself, his family, and his government to
use all wastage that is possible The stock con-
sists OF feeding lambs feeding ewes, wethers,

From being a large importer of this

While the textiles made from the
