TOWNS NEED or WOODL0T
Would Be Paying Proposition in These
Days of Railroad Strikes
and Coal Shortages.

Is there q little wOodlot In your
town? Zurich, Switzerland, has had
one working for it for six centuries
and 1t IS still paying big dividends.
There is great big lesson in this, the
American Forestry association Of
Washington says in these days of
railroad strikes and coal shortages.
Many travellers are familiar with the
"tOWn forests Of Europe. One of
the best known Of these is the conlmu-
nal forest belonging to the city of
Zurich, in Switzerland, which has an
area of 2,84O acres, yielding on the
average an annual income of nearly
$4,000, or about $500 per acre; and
this Is the most remarkable because
most Of this income Is derived from
the sale of firewood, which is perhaps,
the cheapest product of forest
This tract of forest land has been
under management since the year
1909, and it has been steadily increas-
ing in value during these six centu-
ries, writes Prof. John Bentley, Jr., of
Cornell, In the American Forestry
Magazine. In this country the num-
Der of towns and cities that are prac-
ticing forestry Is sill small and their
efforts have been confined chiefly to
the protection of watersheds from
which the city's water supply Is
drawn.

BiIIboards Versus Beauty,

Thus 1t comes about that people who
ride out into the country, eager for
the rest and refreshnent which only
the open country can give, find every
field and every little hill dotted by
V-shaped signs, erected in the most ap.
proved fashion, and Ornamented with
the approved holdings and machine
made cOrnices, while the beautiful Wig.
las that might otherwise make each
turn in the road new delight are cut
short by successive examples of the
approved "head-on' "showings." One
needs but to test his own sensations
on such motor ride to know how
completely the billboard men are
sitting his power to enjoy natural
scenic beauty spots" All their scruples
have not preserved to him his native
rights in the open country.-Christlan

GARDEN CITIES HELP TRAFFIC
lransference OF Part of Population
Relieves Congestion on Cars
in London.

Dense morning f0gs have combined
with tile now chronic congestion of
passenger traffic to make London ars
realize too wildly the Inconvenience
or an over centralized population, re.
marks the London Times. London is
undoubtedly too large for health, for
happiness and for economical living
and production; and, although the
amenities of life in this and other
great cities have in some ways been
Increased by providing dormjtOries at
distance from the work ROOM the
problem Of daily transit has been pro.
portionately intensified.
Much Is to be said for the garden
suburb, but even more for the garden
city. The two are often confused or
falsely identified, but from the point
OF view IF transport the difference be-
tween Is fundamental. Garden sub
urbs represent an extension of the
daily traffic of great town to a more
distant circumference; garden cities,
a permanent transference Of a section
of the population to q less crowded
center.
Every inhabitant of a garden suburb
who works in the city contributes
twice day his Or her share to the
ever increasing problem of traffic con-
geStion The colonist of a. garden city,
en- the other hand, definitely relieves
the 0Vercr0Wded centers of the duty of
transporting him to and from his work
and catering for him and his. Dwell.
ers In garden suburbs are excursion
lists; the garden citizen is an emigrant.
1t Is of the nature of the community
to which he belongs that he shall not
only sup, sleep, breakfast and oc-
caslonally play lawn tennis and grow
beans or roses there, but shall work
there as we'll; and for his reward as |
a pioneer he escapes the strains anu
stretches OF the straphanger.

ICE FACTORY MAY BE ESTAB.
LISHED IN ARCADIA

Arcadia may soon boast of new In.
dustry if plans of several prominem
local business men bear fruit. The
new enterprise will be an ice factory,
with capacity to furnish Arcadia and
surrounding points with ice. No sit,
for the factory has yet been selected,
but there are several available locations
any of which would be quite suitable
we understand.
1t is proposed to equip the plant with
electrically driven machinery, aud to
depend upon the municipal water plant
for water supply.
Arcadia needs an ice factory, and the
territory round about is sufficient to
make the enterprise profitable. 1t
would also add to the revenues Of the
city water and light plant as well. An
ice factory in Arcadia also offers the
advantage of placing ice with consum-
ers in this territory at figure much
lower than the prices now being paid.

PROPER WAY TO MIX
INEXPENSIVE CAKES
Plenty # Eggs and Butter Are
Chief Requisites.
Specialists In Home Economics Kitchen
Have Been Making Extensive Ex-
periments--HoW Best Results
Are Obtained.

II your experience has been that
cheap cakes have poor flavor and Il
coarse texture it Is because you have
not been putting them together In the
right way. An inexpensive cake re-
quIres careful mixing. No difficulty
should be experienced In compromising
a cake which Is excellent in texture
and has q delicious favor when plenty
of eggs and butter are available. 1t
Is when It Is necessary to ecOnOm'ze
on these expensive materials that the
cook who is not skllIful- has her
troubles.
Food specialists In the home econom.
les kitchen Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have been
making extensive investigations IN
cake baking, especially In the baking
Of one-egg cakes. Their experiments
with cheap cakes show that the best
results are obtained when the batter
Is beaten very little after the baking
powder IS added and when the cake Is
baked In q very slow oven.
The recipe which was used in the
experiments follows:
one.Egg Cake.
3 level tablespoons 11s cups -four
fat 2h teaspoons bak-
y oup granulated ing powder
sugar | teaspoon vanilla
IS to % cup milk egg
Cream fat and sugar together. add
beaten egg and heat thoroughly. Then
add -four and liquid alternately, about
one.third Of each at time. Beat the
batter thoroughly after all flour and
liquid have been added. Vanilla may
b added during this beating, Last or
all scatter the baking powder over the
surface of the batter and fold IT in
lightly with six or eight motions of |
the spoon so as to get it thoroughly
mixed with every part Of the batter.
Do not beat the batter after adding
the baking powder but turn 1t at once
into a cake pan and bake.
This cake may be baked as cup
cakes in muffin pans, or in layers. or in
a loaf, If it Is baked as a loaf of the
size given above It should be put into
Il very slow oven, which is allowed TO
warm up gradually (2SO to 375 degrees
3. for one hour is suitable even tenn
At the first trial one is more
sure of success in baking the small
cakes than the loaf.
The cake can be put together by
}tber methods than the one described
above. Any approved method may be
selected but the two points which give
he most difficulty are the too vigorous
beating of the batter after the baking
powder has been added, and baking the
Oaf In too hot an oven.
If directions In the above recipe are
followed the resulting cake
h0uld be light, of even texture and +,
inform grain, tender and moist, If
mould not he coarse and muftin-like in
extnre, nor dry and compact.
