dressing, or in cream sauce favored with onion or celery.
 Dried vegetables (after being bolled) may be served in the gravy with the pot roast or meat or vegetable casse role or in the sauce for the baked or boiled fish. They may be combined with each other or with other fresh vegetables, in boiled dinner" or In chowders or casserole dishes of any kind. They may be used with rice, macaroni or bread crumbs, in stuffing baked peppers or tomatoes or meat or fish; they may be combined in a mock mlncemeat.
 Cooking tho Dried Fruits.
 Dried fruits are usually given a long, slow cooking In water below the boiling point. They may be soaked for few hours, or they may be sim ply mashed and put directly into the warm water for cooking The impor tant point to be observed Is not to soak or cook in too much water. The dried product can not be expected to iidNt dS uutii nav UT dS uDeS llIe lItSn so all pains must be taken to dilute that flavor as little as possible. Most recipes for cooking dried prunes and apricots direct that two Cupfuls of water be used to one cupful of fruit; 1; but better-tavored product will re- suit if equal measures of water and fruit be used, when the cooking Is done slowly in a tightly covered yes sel so that little of the steam escapes.
 Dried fruits may be sweetened light ly (since they usually contain a good deal of sugar themselves) with sugar, or with any sort of sirup, according to taste. They are to be used as sauces, in buildings, fruit cakes and cookies, compotes, whips, soaflles and even salads, much as fresh fruits are used.

MAD KLONDIKE RUSH
 REPEATED IN ALASKA
(By the Associated Press)


 Edmonton, Alta, July 1.-The rush to stake all claims in the Fort Norman, Northwest Territories, fields has begun in earnest and each day now sees the tide of fortune seekers sweeping northward from Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Peace River Cross ing and other points. The marchers also include scores of experienced mineral prospectors bound for the sub-Arctic in quest of gold.
 Every town, hamlet, trading post and river is squirming with activity of men striving desperately to be the first into the arctic with the break ing of the ice in the Great Slave Lake Not since the gold rush of 1892 to the klondike and Alaska gold fields has there been such an immense mi grafton.
 But the odyssey of the Yukon is be- ing rewritten in the present rush in terms of modern transportation. The oil seekers making their way north travel in modern sleeping cars to the Niitt VI NllO lICl tllSII dIlN dN ana thence in comfortable river steamer and motor launches. One Canadian oil company is sending its scouting parties into the territories in all met al airplanes
 The moment the traveler leaves the river highway however, he is face ,o face with the still unconquered nerth. Portages must be negotiated with great hardships for those who are transporting heavy oil machinery. They get taste of the once fright ful Edmonton trail" to Dawson clty the grimmest joke of the gold-seek- ing northland, where men died by the scores or went raving mad, and where the survivors who finally struggled through arrived at the Alaskan gold fields one to two years late.

BIGGER WATER SUPPLY
URGED BY BUSINESS MEN
Great Falls Executive Committee
of Chamber of Commerce Con-
siders Immediate Steps.

Immediate steps to increase the
water supply of the District were
urged last night by the executive
committee of the Great Falls commit
tee of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, at meeting in the Homer
building.
Three members of the committee
were appointed by Chairman B. A.
BoWles to investigate thoroughly the
Great Falls power project. The spe-
ciai committee, consisting of NJ. O.
Leighton. j. G.. TAFT and Harry Car
roll, is expected to make an exhaus-
tive study of the power situation with
the view of securing the unanimous
Endorsement of the full chamber. The
committee. when its report is COM
pleted. will report to Mr.. Bowles and
another meeting of the executive
committee will be called Immediately
to consider the report.
The members attending the meeting
were unanimous in their belief that
steps should be taken at an early
date to increase the water supply. on
account of the threatened shortage
but the concensus of opinion on the
power development was that it should
be left to later date, and that a
comprehensive study should be made
of the situation.
Mr.. Leighton, chairman of the Spe-
cial committee. is an experienced en-
gineer, and the report of his commit
tee is expected to be complete in
every respect.

BERMUDA MAY ADOPT
LAW PERMITTING USE
OF AUTOS ON ISLANDS

HAMILTON, Bermuda. April Ell
Renewed efforts to enact a law
permitting the use of automobiles
in Bermuda have been made this
spring by members of the Bermuda
assembly.
These islands have held out thus
far against what is considered a
dangerous Innovation but there
is a strong party for rapid transit.
The chief opponents of automo-
biles are American winter resi-
dents and tourists. Mrs. Vincent
Astor of New York. who has been
occupying a residence on Hamil-
ton harbor for the past two sea
sons. sent d letter TO the local
newspaper, objecting to their in
PRODUCTION on the island.
AS this colony has only d little
more than nineteen square miles
of area, visitors do not regard mo-
tor transport as necessity. Since
the Island of Nantucket admitted
automobiles this is about the only
civilized place from which they
are barred.

acres of land each. near the Polish
Russian frontier. as outlined by
the Riga peace treaty.
All officers and soldiers Of the
Polish forces are being provided
with tracts along Poland's eastern
boundary. under a system worked
out by the government, provided
they take up cultivation of the
land upon leaving the military

hopes to have trained men settled
permanently where they would be
handy for service in case the coun-
try is ever attacked again from
the east.
Most of the young flyers of the
kosciuszko squadron are planning
to return to America during the
summer. If they do not settle upon
the land within specified time
their rights to the farms will be
forfeited. As yet none of THE
Americans has made up his mind
to settle down on Polish plot and

that of other republican senator's,
from opposition to the original treaty
to advocacy of the amended pact. was

Supporters of ratification declared
that the treaty would improve the re-

RATIFYING COLOMBIAN TREATY
HELD VICTORY FOR PRESIDENT
Senate Vote of SO to 10, Backs Up Mr..
Hardings Recommendation in Mes
sage to Special Session.

The ratification of the Colombian
treaty by the Senate yesterday after
noon by a vote of 60 to 10 was vic
tory for the Harding administration.
The President, in message to the
special session of the Senate, March
.. five days after his inauguration.
recommended ratification as very
helpful at the present time in pro-
noting our friendly relationships"
This recommendation was supple
mented yesterday by Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts. the republican
leader. who. in reply to attacks of
republican senators of the progress
sive group, declared ratification of the
pact was part of a great national
foreign policy" contemplated by
President Harding toward our
neighborS in the southern ana cast
ern hemispheres."
Under the treaty the United States
will pay to Colombia s25,0O0.0o0 to
indemnify her for the loss of Panama
and the Panama Canal Zone. me
treaty also gives to Colombia the
right to pass her vessels and troops
through the canal free of charge.
Original Text Modified.
The treaty ratified yesterday had
been considerably modlIieu since II
was first negotiated by Secretary or
state Bryan during the Wilson ad-
ministration. The so-called apology
clause, in which the United States
EXPRESSED regret because of the hap
penings at the time of the secession
of Panama in 1908. when the United
states recognized the Panama repub-
lie, was stricken out. The opponents
of the treaty contended. however
that the payment of S25.o00.0o0 to
Colombia was recognition OF
wrongdoing on the part Of the United
States.
Although a number of amendments
were proposed to the treaty in the
Senate yesterday. only those offered
by the foreign relations committee
were agreed to.
