JUST HOW" TO MAKE
HOT CHOCOLATE

Even the least experienced house
keeper can make good cocoa; all she
need do is follow the directions on the
can. But when 1t comes to making
hot chocolate-many an old house
keeper has failed at this art.
For, It is an art. There is O decided
knack required in adding the boiling
water to the melted cake-chocolate so
that q smooth paste results.
But, for the sake of beginner-house-
keepers. am going to tell lust how
to make this beverage, starting at the
very first step of the process.
To Make -Four Cups of Hot Chocolate;
Take from your pan-cupboard medium
sized double boiler and q small sauce
pan. Put boiling water into the lower
part ofthe double boiler and one and one
half|ctps of sweet milk in the upper part,
to cook, covered, until the milk Is
scalded
In the saucepan, melt one-third of
square OF unsweetened cake-chocolate.
Do this over a low, direct flame Tor
on a coal range, stirring steadily until
it is entirely melted. The next step
is to stir into this melted chocolate a
pinch Of salt, one and one-third cups Of
granulated sugar and then, gradually,
one-half cup of boiling water. This
is the critical stage of the process-as
| have said before. If you add the
water gradually enough, stirring gently
as you add it, you should have q smooth
paste. If, however, you do not add IT
gradually enough, your chocolate IS
apt to separate into tiny PARTICLES
and your hot chocolate will not be a
smooth, creamy beverage when done.
OF course the mixture should be allow
ed to boil up at this stage, until it is
smooth.
When you have added the half cup
Of hot water slowly, as above directed,
and allowed the mixture 10 boil for q
few minutes, until it is smooth and
glossy, It is time to add this glossy
chocolate-mixture TO the scalded milk
which is in the top of the double boiler.
This, too, should be done slowly,
stirring constantly; then the cover Of the
double boiler should be once more put on
and the hot chocolate allowed to cook
until the luncheon or supper hour. Just
before serving, put an egg-beater of the
wheel type into the upper part OF the

Peace Hath Victories as Well as War

in battles, skirmishes, campaigns and
other warlike enterprises.
According to General Lejeune this
policy is based on a theory which
has. seldom been considered in con-
nection with the military service.
namely, that the marine corps exists
not only to serve the na<ion in war,
Gated, trained, technical men ready
to come to the aid of the country in
any manner in which their services
may be needed in emergencies of
peace.
An apt illustration OF the manner
in which the corps new policy has
put all marines ION their toes to
serve the nation whenever needed, is
furnished in the happenings of the
collapse of the Knickerbocker thea
ter. The roof of the Inflated build
ing fell shortly after o'clock on the
evening of January 2S. Within
quarter of an hour more than 200
marines with trucks containing Jacks,
acetylene torches and other devices
were bucking their way through the
heavy snow TO the scene of the acct
dent two miles away. Their work on
arrival is too well known all over the
country to need retelling. The ejacula-
ton of one of the survivors: THANK
God for the marines." sums up public
sentiment in a sentence.

Golden Shears for Secretary Hughes
NEWSPAPER correspondents at the

NEWSPAPER correspondents at the
capital the other day presented
to Secretary of State Hughes a pair
of gold desk shears in token of their
appreciation for his kindly assistance
to them in their work" since assuming
office. Why shears? Because, Atropos,
the most interesting goddess of the
Three Fates, is the supremacy intelli-
gent lady with the shears who is sup
posed to deal justly with the fate,
not only of individuals but of nations.
The gift was presented by Matthew
f. Tighe, who has been covering"
the State department for more than
forty years. 1.-THE inscription ON the
present speaks of it's motive as graft
tude,' but we now amend it by adding
the words personal esteem, regard and
Affection" said Mr.. Tighe. 1--WE all
hope you will live for many years
and will make the use of this golden
gift that Alexander made of his sword
in cutting the Gordian knots of inter-
national diplomacy"
Nothing is more difficult" Mr..
Hughes said, ''than to maintain the
proper contact on the part of public

partmentS, with public opinion. OF
course, it is essential that nothing

many sources. Some feature in each
of the homes of friends may appeal to
the prospective builder. Plans of other
homes that the architects have de-
signed, or that the contractor has
erected may be just what is wanted if
some minor changes are made.
1t is as a suggestion to prospective
home builders that the house shown in
the accompanying illustration is pre-
sented. At first glance this house will
appear to be an elaborate structure.
But it is not. 1t is really q square
house, 2S feet wide and 80 feet deep.
But the pleasing appearance is secured
by the gable in the roof at the front
and by the porch. Before studying the
exterior appearance take a look at the
floor plans that also are shown. The
heavy lines denote the foundation. 1t
will readily be seen that the founda-
ton walls are straight-there are no
angles that increase the cost of the
building considerably
The house is of standard frame con-
struction, set on concrete foundation.
Up to the second floor the exterior
walls are covered with stucco. Above,
ordinary clapboard siding is used. The
stuccoF may be applied over either
wood or metal lath, or the patented
stuccO bases that all material dealers
handle. The contrast between the
succeed walls and the clapboards
above the second floor gives this house
most attractive appearance. Also
the succeed porch walls and pillars
and the turn of the steps are good fea-
lures of this design.
The house contains seven rooms,
three on the first floor and four on the

second Included with the rooms are
the conveniences found In the modern
home, such as toilet and washroom
on the first floor, bathroom on the
second floor and plenty of closet room.
The entrance door opens off the
porch and into a vestibule, adjoining
which is a coat closet. To the left is
the living room that is larger than the
average-14 feet inches by Is feet.
This is a light, well-ventilated room,
and has an open fireplace in the out
side wall at the end. Back of the liv-
ing room is large dining room, IA by
Is feet, with an attractive bay Win
dow which will be just the place for a
window box To the right of the din
ing room is the kitchen, also a corner
room, which insures good ventilation.
Between the kitchen and vestibule is a
hall, off which is the toilet and wash
room mentioned. Adjoining the kitchen
is a good-sized pantry.
An open stairway out of the corner
of the living room leads to the second
floor, which contains four good-sized
bedrooms, all of which are on corners.
Between two of the bedrooms is the
bathroom.
The basement extends under the
whole of the house, with the exception
of the porch. Here is plenty of room
for the heating plant and fuel; the
laundry equipment and storerooms for
fruits and vegetables.
In both exterior appearance and In
terror arrangement this is the type OF
house that insures comfort for the oc-
cupants and exceptional value for the
money required to build it. Also, it is
the sort of house that will appeal to
the average family, which makes II
readily salable.

VICTORIES of peace and public

tries for service in war and equal

ing to a new policy outlined in re-

of the I. G. c., reducing by about three
billions the present recognized valua-

that the value now recognized is far
in excess of real values.
"NeXt to the matter of transporta-
ton is the question of agricultural
credits. We are just now getting
shaped up a new credit bill. 1t is based
on the findings of the joint agricul-
tural commission, which would set up
