But. curiously enough. the one brill
liant event on the program Is the
Japanese fete at the Club de Vingt,
Cabin John Bridge, tomorrow eve
ming. for the benefit of the recently
organized Free Milk for France Fund.
The fete has a twofold interest. II
will be Washington's first opportunity
TO la'iy to the support OF a most ap-
pealing philanthropy and the first
chance we have had to see the artis-
tic Japanese 'Noh" drama, "The
Hawks Well" with the famous
dancer. Michio Itow. in the leading
role, which had a "succes fou" among
the intellectuals in New York last
winter.
The free milk for France fund.
founded and sponsored by Miss Jo-
sephine Osborn and MCs. Warren Nc
Connihe. of New York, was organized
late in the spring. 1t is the purpose
q the committee to send daily a ton
OF the best dried milk to France to
relieve the shortage, which is so
acute that wee babies are being fed
vegetables, soups and stews to keep
them from starvation. Arrange
ments have been made for shipment
In New York and distribution in
Paris, and the milk will be given out
to little French children, wounded all
lied soldiers. and tubercuIar patients.
While Nine. Ferdinand Foch, wife Of
the commander of the alied armies,
heads the French committee, the milk
is distributed by the Princess de
Polk, her first aid. Princess de
Ligne and Baroness de Beauverfer
are on the committee with her.
So much for the charity. And now
for the fete itself. The grounds sur
rounding the Club de Vingt will be

But, OF course, "The Hawks Well"
is the particular drawing card. 1t is

Secretary OF Agriculture Urges Con-

Military Value.

Secretary Houston of the depart
ment of agriculture he's set forth the
policy which he thinks should be fol-
lowed in highway construction dur
ing the war:
$50 far as 1t is practicable TO do so
this department will urge the main
tenance of the highways already con-
structed; the construction and COM
pletion of those highways which are
vitally important because of their
bearing upon the war situation or for
the movement of commodities; the
postponement OF all highway con-
struction relatively less essential or
not based upon important military
needs. The department is prepar-
ing to suggest to the State hlghwa
departments the preparation OF a
schedule of work for the Federal aid
projects for 1918 in line with this
policy"
Road construction and mainten-
ance in the United States involve an
annual expenditure of about $780,
100000.

To Assist the Idaho Housewife
in Saving.

Jessie NJ Hoover, director of

the county chairmen of the U. S. food
administration to assist her to pre-
sent the home economics work of the
food administration to the state as a

The women of Idaho are anxious
to assist in the patriotic conservation
of food, but many of them are find
ing 1t difficult to readjust their man

In view of this fact. it is the plan
of Jessie M. Hoover to furnish each
week timely recipes and information.
How plain cake recipe may be

Plain cake: " cup sugar, -. veg

In order to save sugar, substitute

or sorghum for u C. of sugar. BY
using a c. of corn syrup with 4 c. o.
any of these substitutes a sweet caks
results. The corn syrup alone is moi
sweet enough.
The shortening may be any one o.

When the syrups are used fol

thin, but such cakes require SLOW

For all cheap cakes 1t is better t.
use muffin pans, as then it is not nee
essary to cut the cakes while hot AM

Large Australian Estates to Be Cut

patriation of returned soldiers con-
templates placing them upon the
land. At recent conference be-
tween the commonwealth and the
state authorities, it was decided that
each state would have to find the
land, while the commonwealth gov
ernment would advance up to $2433
to improve the holding of each re-
turned soldier and to procure the
necessary stock and implements. In
this state 1t was deemed that the
crown lands would prove too dim
cult to improve to attract returned
soldiers. and 1t was decided to pur-
chase large estates and divide them
up into small farms and to use the
money advanced by the common
wealth government for buildings.

ed by the state in purchasing the
