LABOR PLANS POLICE UNIONS.
GOmpers Ia Asked for Federa ton
sanction of Scheme.


Sanction of scheme.
Ernest Bohm said yesterday that the
executive board OF the Central Fed
Grated Union. of which he is CORE
spending secretary, had sent a letter
to President Gompers and the executive
council OF the American Federation of
Labor asking that a plan to unionize
100000 policemen in the United States
he sanctioned.
Bohm asserted that the policemen
following the example of the flremen
here and in other cities. were anxious
to adopt the union label. He claimed
for the Central Federated Union of
New York credit for bringing the New
York fremen into the union ranks. He
said he expected a decision on the police
programme at meeting of the exec
utive council OF the 4. F. Of L. on
July 90.
Committees OF central labor unions
throughout the country will draw I'D
bills for submission to Legislatures
after comforting with the police organ
izations and learning their grievances, ="
said Bohm.
Aside from the salary matter. which
the Board OF Estimate partly adjusted
yesterday. and from a few changes in
the very satisfactory three platoon
schedule now in operation. the New
York police have no grievances"

beans may be dried whole String and cut
the larger and older ones into one-half inch
lengths. Blanch them in live steam for ten
minutes, remove surface moisture by wiping
them with cheasecoth, then spread in single
layers to dry.
Start the process at 40 degrees F., and
gradually raise the temperature to 145 de-
grees. The time for drying will vary with
the age OF the beans, four to five hours being
the average.
When the beans feel leathery and no water
may be squeezed from the cut ends they are
sufficiently dried. Place them in bowls or con-
tainers covered with ono layer of cheesecoth
and stir every ten to fifteen hours for three or
four days to insure an evenly dried product
Store in labelled fibre containers or paraffined

Omelets for All Meals
By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE

NSG OMELETS are particularly adapted
to the summer menu, and variations Of
this popular dish will often solve the
housekeeper's problem, be it breakfast, lunch
or dinner that is concerned.
In preparing plain omeet Zone without
the addition of other ingredients or any fill
ing) three eggs are allowed for two persons;
but the number may be materially lessened
when the filling is of substantial character.
Many persons consider that an omelet is one
Of the hardest things to cook, and it cannot
be denied that it takes practice to turn it
successfully at just the right instant, when
it is dchcately Drowned on the under side and
risen to the limit Of puffiness and lightness.
However. this is an art easily acquired, and
as the finished product is not only verv nutri
tlous, but economical and delicious as well, it
Will we'll repay the housewife to experiment
until she has become letter perfect.
1t is rarely wise to undertake to make q
larger on1elet than one composed of four eggs,
and for the novice it is we'll to remember that
the smaller the omeet the easier it is to han
de When a larger quantity is required two
osnelets should be made instead of one
BE sure that your arnelet pan is scrupu-
lously clean and that the heat over which the
omelet is cooked is very moderate. Remem-
Der that any egg preparation 10 best when
cooked at low temperature, and an omelet is
no exception to this rule. Above all, don't
hurry the cooking.
AS examples of simple and novel omelets
the following recipes are suggested:
A Plain French Omelet
Separate the whites and yolks of four eggs,
beat the yoks until lemon colored and the
whites as stiffly as possible. Add to the yolks
four tablespoonful of cold water, with salt.
paprlka and celery salt to taste; then fold in
the beaten whites SO that the whole is a light,
1oamy mass Heat large tablespoonful of
shortening IN the omelet pan and pour in the
egg mixture. Cook over very moderate heat,
turning the pan gently If necessary until the
oinelet IS Well risen and the edges are firm
enough to be loosened from the side Of the nan
with the cake turner. Filling Of various
kinds may now be added il desired; after
which the omelet Is turned over into a neat
half circle. Cook for moment on the under
side and serve Immediately inverted on a hot
platter. The most carefully made omelet falls
very quickly after its removal from the pan.
A Summer Osnelst
Plunge two medium-sized peppers into boil
ing water; then remove the seeds and men,
branes and chop finely. Turn into saucepan
with half cupful Of thick tomato sauce
(rather highly seasoned, add four table.
sponnsful Of finely faxed crab meat (other
cooked Ash may also be used) and two table,
spoensful Of chopped parsley. Use this as
filing in plain omeet or add it to the four
egg yelks, fold in the whites and cook as for
plain omelst. Omit the water If the tomato
and crab mixture is used with the yolks.

r TAKES some courage and real hygienic
conviction to open up the windows and
insure proper circulation Of fresh air
when the mercury Is going down and the
price Of coal is going up
Now the days have come when fresh air
and ventilation mean solid comfort as we'll as
an invisible health supply. Open windows in
every direction produce draft, and the arti-
fetal draft from the electric fan is life
saver. providing you know how to place it

and neuralgia and scatter the Office papers
to the four corners of the room. This last
effect will get up enough heat by irritation to
offset the coolness that comes with the breeze
Electric Fans
But all Of this is not the electric fans fault.
They come in many sizes and types and offer
all sorts Of adjustments. It is your fault and
not the fans if you station it where it blows
directly on you instead of standing it where
the breeze hits the wall and is DETECTED at
cooling angle or is tilted to stir tho currents
in the upper part of the room, where the hot
air collects.
Electric fans are made in sizes ranging
from 8 or 10 inches in diameter to 16 inches,
and are either Of the stationary or oscillating
type.
With the stationary type the breeze is
steadily blown in one direction, while an oscil-
lating fan can usually be regulated to dis
tribute the air periodically over an arc Of
either 45 or 80 degrees
This latter type, since it is combination
OF the two, is more satisfactory, but because
Of the extra mechanism it is more costly.
Electric fans can be readily tilted forward
or backward at a slight angle or as easily
changed from the desk type to the wall and
bracket style.
Three speeds of operation give splendid
control Of the volume Of air moved, and of
course are desirable where obtainable. For like
reasons the oscllating type is superior to the
stationary fan. because wider area is effect
lively covered by the cooling breezes.
A good fan should be comparatively quiet.

Kidney and Bread Omelet
This is very hearty recipe, and excellent
to serve for summer dinner. Split two veal
kidneys and take out the hard white core and
the dark-colored flesh surrounding it, Simmer

Safety Locks
There is often conflict between safety and
coolness when it comes to the question of
leaving doors and windows open at night,
especially those that open on porches or the
ground floor. There are three window locks
listed which permit you to leave the window
only partly closed, but lock it so that it cannot
be further opened and make it possible for
any one to enter. These devices add sense
of security and peace that are just as essen
tial to a comfortable night as the fresh air.
The Empire Safety Window Fastener is a
small steel "V"-shaped device with a toothed
shoe at the intersection, while the divergent
arms are connected by coil spring. It
securely fits SQto the groove in which the
window slides and prevents it being raised be-
yond the fastener or the upper sash lowered.
The No. Is Window Lock consists of small
steel plate, which is fastened to the upper
sash by two screws and long screw eye, with
movable circular swivel on its end. Tight
enlng the screw eye brings pressure against

attached alongside, and when turned down
pressure is exefted against the rod, forcing
the sashes together and preventing their being
raised or lowered
Screen Door Cheeks
Screen door checks, which insure a closed
door and prevent slamming, help to decrease
the discomforts of summer. A screen door
that is left open on a crack has hospitable
look to flies and bugs. The money spent for
it might just as we'll have been saved
The Superior Screen Door Check makes it
impossible for the youngest child or the most
thoughtless adult to go in and out with
ISLAM" or to let in any flies. This check con-
sists merely of one-piece seamless brass CYL
i1.der, having brass needle valve. It is at
tached to the screen door by two screws, and
can be adjusted to close the door quickly or
slowly as desired. Only one and one-half
inches space between the doors is required,
and it can be used for right OF left hand doors
without change. The check tested gave per-
feet service for an entire summer and it was
in good condition at the end of tho season.
The other door check listed is the Watrous.
1t is made Of japanned wrought steel, and has
