COOKING CLASSES
TO START SOON
Cooking Glasses Teach Housekeepers
to Serve Economical Meals

Every thrifty woman knows how
to cook and to cook well, whether i
is necessary for her to demonstrate
her ability every day in her own
kitchen or whether she merely directs
the culinary arrangements OF her own
home and delegates the actual prep
aration OF her meals to some servant
of uncertain abilities. No woman can
properly manage her household and
plan such meals as are best suited
for the needs of the individual mem
bers of her family who has not had
some training in food values and nu-
triton. What the business man needs,
what the growing child nccdS-thesc
and other problems are al! matters
for study by the woman who has the
best interests of her family at heart
Even if these needs are known how
ever. many a meal may be spoiled and
in consequence much of the family
budget wasted, by the improper prep
aration of the food which has been
provided.
The Ladies' Auxiliary Of the Y. NJ.
C. A. in its cooking classes aims to
supply just the sort Of training which
the housekcepcr needs. Beginning
the first week in February, the second
cooking course of the year will be
opened at the Chamber of Commerce
kitchen, with Miss lncz Rca as m
structor. Ten lessons consisting OF
lectures and actual demonstrations
will be given and the following sub
iects touched upon: quick raising
doughs and batters, soups, sauces,
salad dressings, cake, cake icings and
Filings, omclets, desserts, souffleS,
garnishing and decorating, prcpara-
ton of vegetables and meats.
One enthusiastic cook who profited
by the last course and now treasures
a splendid collection Of valuable
recipes which she derived from it, re-
ceived some unusual compliments
upon the cake which she recently Serv-
ed to group which she had the
pleasure of entertaining. Every one
wanted to know the secret Of the cake $
lightness and fine texture, and how
the icing was made also-thc combina
ton was so delcctdDlc. IL IL some vi
the little things which are taught in
this class which make ones cooking
a little hit out of the ordinary, and
especially pleasing to the discrim-
mating judge of good cookery.
All those who are Interested in join
ing the next cooking class should call
the Y. NJ. c. A. office and register
her name with the office secretary at
once.

Mr.. Taylor after identifying him
by means of the finger print system
notified the Alexandria police and
subsequently called on the long dis

father of the man. and notified nm
that his son was in Alexandria,
Thu father is now enroute to tins
city and it is expected that he Will
arrive here tonight and take his son
back to Greenwich.
Silleck when informed of his cor
rect name told Mr.. Taylor and the
hospital authorities that he had no
recollection of the name. He was
again questioned today but he could
not remember the name.
Mr.. Taylor after taking his finger
prints and photograph dclved into
the records Of the War Department

in the army April >, 1918, served
as sergeant in the medical depart
ment at Camp Upton, y. y, and was
honorably discharged at Camp DIX,
n. j., September 26, 1919. His en-
listmcnt papers gave his father as

lor communicated so quickly with the
father.
According to Mr.. SilIeck his son
suffered fracture of the skull IN

entirely recovered.
A short time ago his father said

trace himself and where he was from.
The man was conveyed to the Alex

r. Moore.
Since Silcck has been ut the hos

thinking perhaps the man might be
some missing person they were
searching for.
When the mans clothing was ex-
amincd ut the time he was brought
to the HOSPITAL the name "Sillcck" was
found printed in the pocket of his
trousers He. however. when qucs-
toned had no recollection of that
name.

Mount Ida. north of this city.
Sergt Wilkinson and the other Of
ficers who were in the first chase
soon were speeding to the spot des-
ignated. Upon arriving or Mount
Vernon Avenue between Lloyd and
Mount Ida they found a big touring

looked similar to the one they were
