YET UNDECIDED
ON QUESTION OF
Ak.SAR:BEN BALL
Less Pretentious Affair May
Be Substituted; Board Of
Governors to Act Mon
day Night.

Despite published reports that the
Ak-Sar-Ben ball had been called off
for this year, the matter is still
much "up in the air." and will! not
be definitely decided until after Mon
day nights meeting OF the board OF
governors. Opinion is still divided
as to the advisability OF holding the
affair, and the bali will probably nos
be held. Nevertheless no definite ac-
ton has yet been taken. A less PEE
tentious ball in the Auditorium may
be substituted.
All the other Ak-Sar-Ben affairs
will be held as usual this year, hCw-
ever. The parades will march and the

EXPERT GIVES ADVICE
ON BAKING OF BREAD
Care OF Yeast Important and Too
Much Flour Results in
Crumbiy Loaf.

Columbia Homemade bread,
if well made, is to he preferred over
bakers bread, says Miss Addie d. Root
of Tie Missouri College Of Agricul-
ture. The condition if the yeast used
in bread-making is more important
THAI the kind of yeast. If yeast Is al
lowed to stahd in dusty place Or is
put into an unsterilized vessel it will
collect bacteria and the bread will
have a sour, unpleasant taste. All
utensils and liquids should b scalded
before using.
Yeasts are small plants which need
air. Flour. therefore. should be added
slowly and beaten into IT, liquid thor
oughly TO incorporate air. Sugar is
food for the yeast plant and if given
TO it will hasten its growth
Ii dough is too stiff, a harsh, crumb-
H. bread results. The least amount Of
flour possible to avoid a sticky dough
gives the best bread.
The quick, even stroke in kneadlng
counts for more than the strength PIT
into it, A thoroughly kneading distrib
utes the yeast plants evenly through-
out the dough and results in bread OF
the best texture as the gas bubbles
rise evenly Dough should be kneaded
until it has a smooth, yelyety surface.
If kneaded longer than 80 minutes, the
elastic quality is destroyed.
Yeast plants thrive at temperature
of from 70 to IS degrees Fahrenheit.
When dough is set to rise, it should
be Placed in clean bowl, If the bowl
is covered tightly and al even tenn
peralure maintained, ii is not neCes-
sary either to oil or moisten the sur
face to prevent a crust from forming.
If the temperature is too high, the
bread vii be dark, coarse and sour.
If the dough is chilled while rising, the
volume will be smaller, the texture
rubbery and an undesirable crust will
form. Best results are obtained when
dough is kept at a gentle. warm, even
temperature until it is twic: It's bulk,
and then worked.
The omp,rature OF the oven should
be $50 degrees Fahr2nl cit when the
bread is placed in it. 1t should be al
lowed to rise after 10 minutes and
lowered after 80 minutes. The bread
should begin to brown in patches dur
ing the first Is minutes and should
have an even brown surface after 80
minutes. If the dough is not twice
its original bulk or as light as desired,
it may be allowed to finish rising in
the oven.
