THE SPECIAL SESSION.

The special session of congress- which opened
yesterday at the call of President Harding, faces
some difficult problems
Paramount is the question of peace treaty of
some kind with Germany. Tariff and industrial
questions are also of prime importance. The
growing audacity of foreign propagandists in the
United States likewise merits congressional atten-
ton, as it has merited the attention of the Amer
lean Legion and other patriotic organizations.
There is a growing sentiment in favor of a
speedy peace with Germany-a peace American
terms. 1t would not be surprising if some definite
action in this regard taken before long.
The tariff is involved and difficult question
Every talks about it gliby, but only few
understand its fundamental principles. 1t is bound
up with the most abstruse questions of finance

While these reptiles are allowed to do their work
untrammeled, the peace enjoying today
will be an ephemeral thing. They must be driven

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.

Chicago, April IL. - Wheat
dropped today to the lowest level
since January, 1915. for May de-
livery. 1t was said exporters were
trying to resell, and that farmers
were hauling more freely in Illi-
nois, Kansas and Nebraska. The
market closed heavy, IA to 5 X c

Corn lost / Y to 2Ac. oats y a q

424ac.
Only a transient slight upturn
of wheat prices resulted from the
cold wave. Buying quickly sub
sided when indications pointed TO
absence of serious damage. Con-
tinuance of hopes for settlement
of the British coal strike tended
further to give an advantage to the
bears, and proved much more than
an offset for drought news from
Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria.
Signs of an enlarged domestic
movement from first hands gave
an additional impetus to the down.
ward swing. emphasized by big
primary receipts and by reports of
a falling off in demand for flour.
July delivery did not break as fast
as May. but both months finished
at about the bottom figures.
Corn and oats showed stubborn
resistance to bear pressure. but
finally gave way in sympathy with
wheat. The relative firmness of
the feed grains was ascribed to
opinions that unlike wheat the oats
crop had perhaps been injured
much by freezing weather.
Lower quotations on hogs and
grain took away support from pro-
visions.

KINDNESS TO ANIMALS.

Animals week throughout the United States
The moment is worthy of support. Few things
coarsen the moral fiber of a person much as
the disregard for the rights of the lower animals.
Children, especially should be encouraged in kind
ness toward their animal pets. Nothing is more
appealing than to see tot rompng with a dog
or straddling pony-both haVngta good time,
yet each respecting the rights of the other.
Consideration for the dumb brutes during ones
childhood leads to general kindness when
maturity is reached.

TRY A NEW PUDDING SAUCE.


"My family gets so tired of the
puddings I make" l have often
heard housekeepers say, in re-
ferrinG to puddings served with
sauces. And when / question the
speaker further, l find that she
always y serves the same sauce
with these buildings.
Every housekeeper should know
how to make a wide variety of
sweet sauces. A certain pudding
served with three different sauces,
in turn, will taste like three diff
ferent buildings. So there is no
excuse, is there. for dessert mo-
notony-when it is so easy 60
make almost any kind of sauce?
The following will be found es-
pecially good;
Foamy Sauce: Cream together
1-2 cup butter and | cup pow
dered sugar and let them stand
in a covered bowl till the dinner
hour Then, just before serving
the pudding, add ] teaspoon va
nilla to IA cup boiling water in
to the bowl containing the but
ter and sugar, stirring until
smooth; now add stiffly beaten
egg-white and beat for few sec
onds, until foamy. Serve at once.
CAS- this sauce will be only luke
warm, you should serve it with
a hot pudding.)
Orange Sauce: Melt 2 table
spoons of butter in saucepan,
add tablespoons of flour, ! cup
boiling water, IL cup granulated
sugar, and the juice and grated
rind of / orange. Let this mix
ture boil up for a few minutes,
then serve hot. This is a fine
sauce to serve with cold buildings
such as left-overs of bread pud-
ding, grapenuts pudding, tapioca
pudding and rice pudding The
following sauce also is delicious
with any of these puddings:
Economy Sauce: Thicken / cup
boiling water with 1 tablespoon
cornstarch which has been mixed
to paste with a very little cold
water; add l cup sugar and 9
cup butter which have been well
creamed together; then add /
teaspoon vinegar and Z teaspoon
