Four and Twenty Sparrows Baked in
n Delicious Pie

Jacob Riis describes in one of his
delightful essays how the good old
housekeeper in his Danish home used
to climb to the caves to rob the spar
rows nests for delectable pie. Now
Mr.. James Hunt of Philadelphia, who
is crusading against the English
sparrow, advocates the pie as the true
destiny of the sparrow He furnishes
the sparrows for such pie opened in
Washington recently at a luncheon
served by the Philadelphia Public
Ledger.
The guests declared that the pie
was good, and the flavor of the spar
row was superior to chicken and
equal to partridge. Washington bays
found this out long ago in their Sc
cret sparrow roasts where dozens of
these tit-bits were spitted on wires
before the blaze and devoured by
these food pirates.
Cleaning a sparrow is a simple
matter of cutting the breast away
from all other parts and skinning.
Special traps are used for catching
sparrows. These are set near favor
lite rookeries and dozens of sparrows
are caught at time.

What 10 Do with Sour M;lk

Milk undergoes many changes, some
of them harmless and some more or
less harmful. The most common
change is that of souring. Bacteria
present in the milk act upon the
sugar and change it into Tactic acid.
After a certain amount of this acid
has been produced the growth of the
bacteria is stopped and no further
change in the sugar takes place,

for this bread: Take one and a half
cups of milk. water or a mixture Of

one tablespoon sugar, one tablespoon
of fat IL desired, one cup cornmeal
and two cups wheat -four.

twenty minutes. The water Is sum-

Allow the meal to cool to about the

ard size, allow to rise until nearly

greater percentage Of cornmeal than
this even in emergencies, for bread 30

and In sucn q case the general meth
cd given above may be followed.
II II possible to make yeast raised

one cupful Of meal should be used to

OF District. Benefit

There is no question in my mind
but that the operation of the prohi-
biticn law, which sas now been in eff
feet nearly two months, has been of
distinct benefit in many ways to the
state" says w. w. Armstrong, presi-
dent of the National Copper Bank of
Salt Lake City, in letter to Mrs. G.
A. Walker, president of the Utah w.
G. T. u. "In my judgment, the bene-
fits will continue to grow and become
more apparent, and venture the
statement that If it were put up to the
people of the state of Utah, at this
time, as to whether or not the law
should be repealed, they would over
whelmingly vote to keep it on the
statute books. 1t is almost too early
to see distinct evidences of the bene-
fits that are going to accrue to our
state, but, in my mind, there is no
question but that they are with us
now and will continue in greater vol
ume as time goes on"

The gains in the work OF converting
the American people to abstinence
from alcoholic stimulants have been
remarkable in the course of the year.
Congress delegated authority to the
President over the manufacturing
side of the liquor business which en-
abled him to stop the distilling Of
spirits altogether as a war measure.
In spite of the immense quantities of
spirits in bond, the price of whiskey,
gin and the rest have gone so high
that the advance in itself has proved

Owing to the fact that the new
crop of sugar is expected to greatly
improve conditions in this country,
the sugar distributing committees of
the United States food administration
have been authorized to increase the
allowances to confectioners and other
manufacturers, thus giving them 80
per cent of their normal require
nlents. Last October the allowance
to confectioners was reduced to SO
per cent of their requirements, and
since that time some of the candy
makers and others have had to reduce
their output considerably owing to
the sugar shortage. The new order
will allow them to catch up to some
extent, but all are urged to still con-
tinue the use of glucose, honey and
ether things as much as possible to
assist in conserving the supply of
sugar.

A few days ago, the Star said the
job of fuel administrator was too big
for DR., Garfield. The Star was mis-
taken. He seems to have been just
the man for the place. It is true that
he has acted somewhat like 8 car,
but America needs a few first-class
cars in the right places just now. It
was alleged that he wasn't practical
man, and probably there was some
truth in the charge. A practical
business man would have tried to
solve an impossible situation in a
practical way and failed Garfield,
who by reason of his profession, is
detached from the business world and
not fettered by its rules and tradi-
tions, or swayed by its hopes and
fears, took sweeping stroke at the
whole trouble, regardless of who or
what was hit, so the main trouble was
removed. At this writing, it looks
like his plan is going to work, and
tho q lot of people will undoubtedly
suffer lot more would suffer if he
had not so acted.

The case for criminal libel against
Bobo Dean, proprietor of the Miami
Metropolis has been quashed in the

against Dean was based on caustic
criticism of Judge Donnell of the fif-

orening saloons, passed by the legis.
lature last year. The Metropolis was
very severe on Judge Donnell, declar-
ing he was actuated by corrupt mo-
tiyes. The supreme court however has
since confirmed Judge Donnell's de-
cision. The reason for quashing the

There seems TO be some INDIGESTION
among the members Of the council
about electing a city manager. When
it was proposed TO create the Office,
there was no expectation of the con-
ditions that prevail at present. Some
of the councilmen think they had
better manage the city themselves and
save managers salary, which would
cut good cash in the public
finances. There is a reluctance to
make amy move that might interfere
with Mr. Caldwell's management of
the light. and water plant. Joe" has
been with the plant so long and taken
such personal interest in it that a
great many citizens feel that he and
Mr. Osborne, head of the public SER
vice department, can get as good re-
suits out of it as are possible. Mr..
Thomas, head of the street depart
n1ent, has had a great deal of exper-
fence with that sort of work and is
probably as competent to direct it and
judge of it as anyone. No doubt that

ager could do. The question is, will
they have the time to spare from
their own business to give city affairs
the close attention they should have
IF they can, they might trot along
until there is more business and
more money, but if they can't they
had better employ good business
man and accountant, who can stay on
the job all the time, but who will
leave the technical work of the light
and water department entirely to the
present very competent superintend-
ent. We have no suggestions to make
about a city manager, only we think
that all other things being equal il
would be better to give the job to a
citizen and taxpayer.

The people who took it for granted
that government ownership of rail-

administration in assuming operation
Of the roads last month were probably
surprised at the line Of talk handed
out by Director General McAdoo to

the Senate last Saturday. Mr.. Nc
Adoo, so far from limiting any move
toward government ownership said
that the management of transporta-
ton lines not directly needed by the
government will be returned to own
ers of the said roads. This is, how
ever, logical action. Operating the
railroads is purely a war measure.
There has not been any expression
from the people to the effect that they
