Judges to Sample Varieties oi
Baking They Never Even
Heard Of.

The judges in the All Washington
Cake Baking Contest which will be
decided in The Washington Times Of
flee, twelfth floor, Munsey building
next Saturday afternoon. probably will
have to examine and taste some cakes
they never heard of before.
Although the judges-Mrs. Rose @.
Hoes, president OF the Washington
|Housekeepers' Alliance; Mrs. Fanny
Walker Yeatman, assistant instructor
in the eperimental kitchen at the De-
partment of Agriculture, and Maxine
Huguet. chef at the Washington
Hotel-are all experts on cakes, 1t is
more than probable that many OF the
confections submitted in this compe-
tition will be new to them.
The Cake Baking Editor has re-
ceived notification from several hun
dred housewives that they intend en-
tering the contest, and many OF the
writers have taken the editor into
their confidence as to the kind Of cake
they will bake.
KEEPING PLANS SECRET.
They have requested that no men
tion be made of the original cakes
they will submit. They seem very
jealous of their recipes. In other
words, IL looks like the cake baking
housewives are cooking up some
thing on the judges"
Some of the writer's have signified
their intentions of following recipes
which originated in their families
several generations ago and have
never become known to other thar
members of the families. The rivalry
is getting keener every day and many
housewives are calling personally or
the Cake Baking Editor to inform
him that although they are not in
the habit of participating in public
competitions they feel that since this
contest is to settle the cake baking
championship of the National Capita
and its suburbs they owe IT to theii
regulations as cake bakers to enter IL

WINK AT LAW
Good Loses Fight to Block
Sl,+0O,OOO Item for Prohi-
bition Enforcement.

Overriding the objections OF
Chairman Good, Of the Appropria-
tons Committee, who charged that
the prohibition enforcement corps is
'winking" at violations Of the law,
the House yesterday, by vote Of
204 to 93 concurred in the Senate
amendment to the deficiency bill pro
yiding $l,4O0,0OO for the enforce
ment Of the. Volstead act.
OLD TINE DRY BATTLE.
For nearly an hour the House in
dulged in an old time prohibition row.
which resulted In Mr.. Good attempt
ing To block the amendment and all
debate by moving the previous aues-
tion. Led by Congressman Volstead.
the prohibition forces united solidly
In opposition, defeating Goods motion
by a decisive vote. ,
The House bill carried $1,000 900 for
prohibition enforcement ana the
House conferees agreed upon S1.20O.-
600, Mr.. Good declared.
Launching upon a bitter attack OF
the prohibition enforcement forces.
Chairman Good declared that "wets"
were employed who "winked" at vio-
lations OF the law
81 know there are a great many "f
the 1000 men who are empowered TO
enforce the prohibition laws are not
in favor OF enforcing the prohibition
act at ALL" said Mr.. Good. II know
and you know and everybody knows
that these men are winking at the
law, and every man here in this
chamber tonight knows the same
thing. II Is not even suggested that
there be a strict enforcement. other
wise, there would not have been IS
sued permits to withdraw 10000 gal
Ions of spirits during the yeaf.
"I have talked with even Wayne b.
Wheeler, who sends his commission
down to this House and who have
said to me, as has Mr.. Wheeler. that
there are more vets than thero are
drys engaged in this enforcement.
and yet men will nod to Mr.. Wheeler,
lust as they nod to Mr.. Gompers, and
vote money out Of the Treasury at
their command, whether 1t is needed
or not.
CONSCIENCE HURTS HIM.
I can not find It in my conscience
to vote to take more money out OF
the Treasury for this purpose at this
time, when we already know that too
~lany men are paid out of this appro-
D .iation who are winking at violations
I the law.
"We have given every penny that
we believe this organizationn can ex'
pend for the rest of the year In q
,igorous enforcement of the law. but
t will require the dismissal OF some
men who ought to be dismissed"
Congressman Volstead stoutly de.
tended the enforcement forces, con
ending that Chairman Good and the
Appropriations Committee were try
ing to break down the enforcement
II the law by coupling the ''wets'
with 1t.
"If this appropriation Of 81 zoo. .0OC
Is to stand" said Mr.. Volstead, ut
means that about one-third OF the
field force, the police force that Is
absolutely inadequate today, must be
discharged forthwith unless you pass
another deficiency appropriation In
the near future"
There may be men in the service
who ought to be discharged but there
Is no pretense that the number OF
men Is more than Is needed. l want

ton. There is no pretense that they
