there was not an outcry. Looking
around quickly, the teacher obsery-
ed the animal walking toward her,
about to enter the door leading in
to her room. Instead Of retreating,
she very hurriedly closed the door,
blocking the steers pathway. BY
this time, one of the men driving
the animals had reached the room
and soon had the steer back in

The Source of Motor Trouble

NOU do not look into your
Il gasoline tank to find the
cause of engine troubles, but
you might find it there.
Automobile motors require a
good, steady diet of balanced
gasoline. If the distilled prod
uct varies because of changing
qualities of the crude oil from
which it is refined, your gaso-
line is one-sided. Every oil

A6uquerque Morning Journa Sunday February ~ lei.

We can see no one in sight who is entitled, poit
caly to the position except H. o. Bursum.
If Governor Me6hem appointed any one else
the people would regard him as guilty of the gross
est ingratitude toward his best political friend.
But quite aside from the personal relations OF
Governor Mechem and Mr.. Bursum this appoint.
ment impresses us as the only logical thing. In
point of ability, party service and knowledge of the
states needs, one else appears in the party as
a contender against Mr.. Bursum.
We believe that an expression from the republic
can members of the legislature would be unani-
mously favorable to him. Such expression would
seem to be quite the proper thing the legislature
is the most nearly representative of the people of
the party of any available body. The republican
state committee is so completely controlled by Mr.
Bursum that its endorsement would be automatic.
Mr.. Bursum is useful Citizen He grows more
useful as he becomes responsive to public
tment In ability and poise he will rank well in
the senate
We regard his appointment as so logical as to be
inevitable.

A ToRTIETH ANNIVERSARY.

The Christian Endeavor movement recently
celebrated its fortieth anniversary. 1t would be
hard to find any organization that has had an
equal growth 1t begun with a little group of
young folks gathered at the parsonage parlor of
Rev. f. e. Clark's home at Portland, Me, to find
ways by which they could help in church work Now
it has 20000OOO members
In old days the young folks were supposed to
attend all ddings of the older crowd and like all
the things they liked. But you can't always hitch
up colt with an aged Dobbin. Young people have
a human desire to manage their own enterprises,
and accomplish If given responsibility for do
ing things of their own. The Christian Endeavor
movement has interested millions of them in
Christian and civic work, and has given tangible
support to innumerable good causes

VIRTUALLY EVERYBODY
Is COMPELLED TO PAY
AN OCCUPATION TAX

| Beattyville, Ky, Feb. 26.-Every
one who enjoys the protection and
facilities provided by the city of
Beattyville must pay for it is the
motto of the present city admins
ration. according to Mayor j. b.
Mcclure. The statement was made
as a result of the recent passage
by the city council of an ordinance
which placed a license tax of $40
per year on each clerk. bOokkeep-
er, stonographer. railroad agent, or
operator, electrician. bank cashier
and in fact virtually every occupa-
ton.
The extent of the licenses re-
quired has caused much comment.
THE recently enacted license
ordinance was passed under Article
Isl of the Kentucky constitution
and Section 3637. subsection 4. Of
the Kentucky statutes, where
power is given cities of the fifth
class to provide for the payment of
a license tax on the various trades,
occupations and professions, says
Mayor Mcclure I'VE think this
power broad enough to permit the
taxing of clerks, stenographers,
bookkeepers. agents and operators
and we see no reason why the same
should not be taxed for pursuing
their various vocations in such a
city.
1T is true that this taxing OF
clerks. stenographors, etc, is q
new question and it seems that
heretofore these occupations have
escaped the license tax but we take
it that it was the object of the leg
islative body in enacting Scdton
3637, subsection 4. of the Ken
lucky statutes to require all per-
sons, whatever remunerative oc-
in life, to pay their just
proportion of all taxes for the up
keep of their government"

DESSERTS MADE WITH
GELATINE

1t has always been a mystery tt
me why the average housekeepel
shuns gelatine in making her des.
serts. She regards gelatine as al
economy measure, seeming not tC
be aware of the fact that there
are delicious Sponges and Bavarian
| Creams to be made with this stiff
fleming agent, as we'll as the plain
"shaky jelly desserts more COM
| monty seen.
| 1t is not at all necessary to fol-
| low a recipe in making a gelatino
dessert if the housekeeper will
bear in mind that l tablespoon of
granulated gelatine dissolved in
little cold water) will stiffen one
pint of any kind of liquid When
the housekeeper has fruit left
overs with fruit juices, all she
need do is to take l tablespoon of
gelatine, dissolve it in the small
amount of hot water as she
will need to make up the pint of
liquid after seeing how much
of the fruit juice she has; this
amount of hot water should be
sweetened to taste, then should
be added to the dissolved gelatine
and the mixture allowed to cool,
then the fruit juice added as it
begins to CONCEAL.
To develop a plain fruit gelatine
of this sort into Sponge. the
housekeeper should use / table
spoon of gelatine and two-thirds of
a pint of sweetened hot water; she
should let this cool until it be-
gins to CONCEAL, then add one or
two well beaten egg-whites, whip
ping the whole till frothy before
setting II aside to mould. ..
To make a Bavarian Cream. sim
ply use ga of cup of whipped
cream instead of the egg-whites

rections land the following recipes
illustrate this point:

granulated gelatine, 2 cups strong
coffee, 1-2 cup sugar, IA tea

the gelatine in cold water to cover
for 8 minutes, then dissolve the
sugar in the boiling hot coffee,
add the gelatine, and stir over
hot water until the gelatine is
dissolved. When beginning to con-
geal, add the egg-whites stiffly
beaten and favored with the va
nilla. Whip until creamy in color,
and let stiffen in a wet mould.
