OF gravel company, where Seventh
street crosses the river, is so pounds
One tooth was found in the frag
ment, Mr.. Comstock said The tooth
he added, evidently was a milk tooth
and would have been displaced later
by permanent one il the creature
had lived.
In contract to the relics OF various
prehistoric animals found in the La
Brea tar pits here, where they were
preserved as bones in asphaltum ,for
what Scientists say was hundreds of
thousands OF years, the skull frag-
ment is fossil.
Mr. Comstock said he believed the
fossil had been washed from a higher
level to the place in the river bed
where ii was found. He reached this
conclusion because 10 other fossils
were found in the same gravel pit,
he added.

HART HEADS WHITE
LIST" OF METHODIsTs

The Methodist Episcopal church
has prepared white list" OF mo-
ton picture players, which is con-
spieuous by its omission OF the names
OF Mary Pickford. Douglas Fairbanks
and Charlie Chaplin. Because of the
lnotoriety attendant upon their re-
cent divorces, 1t is thought. these
three names were not inclhded al
though no reference is made to these
players in the church report.
The white list" is headed by Will

THE SECRET OF MAKING 4-.'
SPONGE CAKE "SPONGY'

Sponge or butterless caks include
angel and sunshine cakes, jelly roll
and the various cheaper sponge cakes,
Sponge cakes depend upon eggs for
their texture. A true sponge cake
Is lightened wholly by the air that is
beaten into the eggs. In the cheaper
sponge cakes baking powder is used
to supplement the smaller amount Of
eggs used. Pans with center tube
are the most satisfactory for true
sponge cake. Many of these pans
are provided with support extend-
ing about an inch above the pan. The
cake can be inverted to cool, then
the moist cell walls will not settle,
but will stretch, making the cake
very light and porous. The pan
should never be creased and should
be kept to use for this class of cake
only.
Mixture Must BE Beaten
Before Flour Is Added
To mix sponge cake, separate the
yolks from the whites of the eggs.
Beat yolks until thick and creamy.
add sugar gradually and continue to
beat, add flavorlng. Beat the egg
whites until stiff and dry and add to
the egg yolk mixture. Fold in the
sifted flour gradually.
Do not beat the mixture after
flour is added, or most of the work
already done of inclosing large
amount of air will be undone by
rules apply to sponge cakes where
baking powder is not used.
For angel cake the egg whites
must be beaten until bowl contain
ing the eggs can be inverted and the
eggs hold their shape. Then the
sugar is folded in the egg whites very
gradually, flavoring is added and the
flour folded in carefully. Bake In
a very moderate oven.
Directions Given for
Making Cheaper Cake
For the cheaper sponge cakes,
where baking powder Is used. the
eggs may be beaten without separat-
ing Use an egg beater and beat until
creamy Add sugar gradually. still
using the egg beater. When light, !
add flayoring (liquid II called for,)
then the flour which has been sifted
with the baking powder. This class
of cake takes a medium oven.
Boiled icing seems to be one OF
the housewives stumbling blocks. !
However, II few simple details are
followed there sould be no trouble. !
Sugar has tendency to crystalize; if
one crystal forms. others follow, and
the frosting will be sugary. To over
come this tendency. pour hot water.

FOoIproof Feet

The human foot is one of the most beautiful and useful instruments ever conceived, but unfortunately, it is not what a motorist calls fool l-proof."
 There is great deal of misunder- ing about our feet We treat them ! ourageousIy, as either custom or fash ion or custom may dictate. As a result about one third of the population is spIay-footed, another third walks like | hen on hot cinders, and the remain ing third may be said to walk fairly naturally.
 The foot has graceful arch running | fore and aft. We take this longitudi- nal arch, turn the toes outward so that l the heels meet at an angle of forty five degrees, and then, as the diagram 1 shows put all our rpessure in skew | fashion across the arch. No railroad 1 engineer would dream of building g l straight arch bridge to carry loads nei- ther across nor along the arch but ir- regularly askew over it.
 We ought to walk with our great toe pointed straight in the direction of progress as Indian runners do, and
