SUBMITS PLAN
Submits Scheme to Segregate
Coal Properties.
GOVERNMENT DISAPPROVES
Contends Plan Does Not Constitute
Actual Separation of Mining and
Rail- DAD Properties.

New York. The Lehigh Val
ley Railroad company filed in federal
court its long-deferred plan for the
separation Of its coal properties from
the railroad.
This was in accordance with the de-
cree of the United States supreme
court, which in December of 1920, en-
tered an order dissolving the comblna-
ton of transportation and coal hold
ings 80 as to make each component
part in fact Independent and competi-
tive"
Under the segregation plan the Lee
high Valley Coal company viii issue
$30,000,000 non-cumulative preferred
stock, without. voting power, of 500
par value and per cent divident rate,
to be turned over to the Lehigh Valley
Railroad company as stock dividend
declared out of surplus. Dividends
from this stock are to be paid to the
ra-~oad company.
In order to divorce itself from all
control of the coal company, the rail-
road company will convey all it's inter
ests in the common stock to 242, 432
certificates of interest" in the com
mon stock of the coal company on the
basis of one certificate for every five
shares of common or preferred railroad
stock.

quehanna and Schuylkiu railroad and

when they are to be sska or otherwise
disposed of for the bNnefit of the Lee
high Valley railroad.
Opposition to the proposed plan was
announced by the government soon
after Its publication On three separate
grounds
1. That 1t does not Contemplate the
disposition OF the stock OF the coal
company to persons not connected with

Huntington, pam eagle, wound

The eagle was wounded by farmer
who was tired of seeing it hanging

bird fell to the ground, it showed
signs of much life, and was kept in a
cage by game wardens who treated it's

Keeping the eagle was as costly as

But while We still have this high re-
gard for linen, born of war condi-

THESE facts are coming home to u:
IN gratifying manner. That is the
price OF linen per yard is bringing il
within our easy reach and just the

thousand yards of pure Irish linen to

actually half the price that this linen

ago.
Practical Advantage. =
There is real practical advantage in
having lingerie and children's clothes
made of linen, because of the salts
factory way that linen goes through
the laundry. 1t yields to the treat
and sunshine better than cotton, far
better than silk.
A great deal of fine linen is used
purely for trimming purposes. Once

as being decorative enough for this.

There is strong feeling for linen
finished with English cut work in
the various gilets. waiStcoats and COL
lars that are so important a part in
the wearing of the new spring suits.
Gray linen seems to be especially
favored for this.
In the wardrobe of almost every
little girl there will be one or two
frocks made of handkerchief linen
usually trimmed only with hand en-
hroidery. Again linen will make its
appearance as trimming on frock s
made of other fabrics. In the frock
shown in the sketch it combines well
with printed voile. The crispness of
the linen makes the little side frills
on the skirt and along the bottom of
the skirt stand out as they would
not do were they made simply of the
voile.

Salad for Dessert.

Many women are finding now for
the first time that there is good sense
in combining salad and dessert for
dinner at least twice a week. And
there are dozens Of salads that con-
tain enough sweetness to satisfy the
desire for something sweet at the
end of dinner. These sweet salads
are a rather new departure in food
preparation. At least there are many
more OF them now than there used to
be. Men who wouldn't take the trou
BILE to eat tart salad show a real
fondness for some of these combina-
tions of fruit. lettuce and salad dress
ing.
Possibly the favorite is o-called
Waldorf salad. made by putting a
mixture OF diced apples. broken wal
nut meats. cut up celery and mayon-
naiSe on endive or lettuce leaves. An
other favorite is made by rolling
halves Of bananas in finely chopped
walnut meats. and placing them on
lettuce leaves with mayonnaise. Sec
tions Of pineapple filled with cream
cheese and possibly garnished with
pimicntos dressed with mayonnaise or
French dressing are not difficult. and
dates stuffed with cream cheese. with
French dressing. is another salad that
needs little preparation.
Pear salad is increasing In popular
ity. 1t is especially tempting when
pears are out Of season. AS A half
pear does for each portion, it is not
prohibitive even in off seasons. To
make it pare and halve the pears and
then remove very carefully the core.
Fill this space with cream cheese.

To Make a Jelly Roll.

| The average housekeeper does not
appreciate the jelly roll as solution tc
the light-refreshments problem. When
| guests are expected on a certain even

to party) the hostess feels that some
| thing should be served-somethin SIM
| pie and inexpensive.
| Mrs. A, for instance, rather expects
! that Mrs. B. and her husband will run
over for a few minutes on Saturday
night. Mrs. A. knows that Mrs B. cam
freshments when she and her husband
call on the BIS. so Mrs. a. prepares to
serve some such simple foods as slices
of jelly roll and cocoa. This light hos
pitalty Mrs. B. will be able to return I

wiches.

sixteen slices out of n roll made in a
pan fifteen inches long and nine and
one-half inches wide. Here are the di-
rectionS:
Jelly Roll-Beat three eggs until light

than three eggs be used-but. assuming
that this cake is prepared for guest use.
three eggs are not too many, then add
one cup OF Srdnulate sugar 10 lneSe
beaten (and unseparated) eggs; next
add one-half tablespoon of sweet milk.
stirring well, and one cup OF -four sifted
with one teaspoon of baking powder and
one-quarter teaspoon of salt. Last add
one ia blespoon of melted butter.
Now choose a large meat pan, fifteen
inches long and nine and one-half inches
wide Cor thereabOuts) and cut piece Of
thin wrapping paper TO cover the bottom
of this pan and reach half way up the
sides; grease the entire surface Of this
paper with melted butter. then pour the
batter upon it. spreading the batter
over it evenly and well into the corners.
Bake for twelve minutes in a moderate
oven. Then take the pan from the oven
and turn it upside down onto another
piece of wrapping paper which has been
spread on a table and covered with
powdered or confectioners' sugar (sprin-
kle the sugar all over it with a -four
sifter). OF course. the creased paper
will come out of the pan with the cake
and this must be peeled off the bottom
of the cake as the cake lies top-down on
the powdered sugar.
The next step is to spread any kind
of jelly over the cake as it lies in this

the cake may split-that is. let it help
you by pressing it against the roll and

very quickly. or n cracked roll will be
the result. When lou get the ca ke roll

LINEN IS PLENTIFUL AGAIN
BY ANNE RIT'TENHOUSE.

Just what happened during war
days and is at present happening in
the linen-producing industry would
take a volume to tell and consider
able technical knowledge to under
stand.
However. 1t appeared that war con-
ditions were most hostile to the pro-
duction of linen. The finished product
went so high in price here that it
went right out of the reasonable
reach of most of US. and we came to
nave a veneration for our stock on
hand of linen table damask that
sometimes meant storing it away to
use only on rare occasions. max
ing use of highly unsatisfactory cot
ton damaSks instead
The seriousness of the situation
must have been exaggerated. for
somehow the feeling got about that
it might take a generation before we
could again buy linens IS we had
bought them before the war. our
children would never know the rare
luxury of having linen lingerie or
sleeping between linen sheets. And
