REPUBLICANS OF
 TEXAS READY ID
 MEET DEMOCRATS
Speakers Claim Ku KIux Question Will Lead Jeffer- son Followers to Leave
 Their Party
By Associated Press

Fort Worth. Tex, August S.-Praise of the Harding administration, ad- vocacy of protective tariff, and at tacks on the Ku Klux Klan. charac- terized addresses before the opening session of the biennial convention Of the Texas republicans today. Every such reference was greeted with cheers from the 250 delegates.
 Although the demonstrations were considered an indication as to the sentiment of the convention, action on the questions involved was defer red until tomorrow when the com mittee on platform and resolutions will report. Action also is to be taken on the report of the committee on nominations, appointment of com mittees consumed most of the ses- sion.
 A plea for tolerance in carrying out the program of the party In Texas formed the keynote of the opening address of State Chairman R. B. Craiger.
 He declared the republican party is faced with an unparalleled oppor- tunity to save Texas as result of the unusual conditions in the @dem- ocratic party, brought about by the Ku Klux Klan."
 There are many high minded dem ocrats," he said, "who do not care to support James E. Ferguson or Earle B. Mayfield. democratic senatorial candidates. These democrats are in an suspicious mood to be approached with the view of having them line up with the republican party"
 MT. Creager mildly denied the Ku Klux Klan, saying it is dangerous organization" but averring that some of our best citizens have been deluded into joining it." He added that it was his belief that the best members were withdrawing from the klan.
 Praises Harding
 He declared President Harding was making a great president and many improvements in government had been accomplished since he assumed office.
 Mrs. J. c. Griswold of San Antonio. the only woman speaker. criticised Gov. Pat M. Neff for his attitude on the labor union question and &C., cused him of allowing his party to drift and thinking only of the next election,' she drew a contrast be- tween Governor Naff and President Harding, referring to Harding as "a statesman" and to Neff as "a mere
 
 office who tread a straight political path to the tune of Dixie rather than to the praying of the democratic jackass." she declared amid cheers and laughter.
 T. M Kimmerly of Houston was selected permanent chairman. In taking the chair he asked for "a yell for eight years in the White House for President Harding" The yell was vigorously given.
 Webster Flanigan, probably the oldest delegate. and who said he has missed but one state convention since 1868, made a short talk. He praised Harding,t defended the protective tariff and assailed the Ku Klux Klan. He declared however. that he fay ored the effort of the klan to break up the democratic party"
 That the platform to be adopted will contain blanks condemning the lian declaring for high protec- tive tariff, and indorsing the Hard ing administration is predicted by delegates. Nomination of complete state ticket also is predicted.

New-York tribune., 1922-02-05
BY Grace r. Deepen

THERE are so many little tricks
and turns that tailors and the
best dressmakers use to produce the
desired professional finish in their
work that is seems pity that women
who do their own sewing could not
spend an apprenticeship with some
of them, if only to learn of these
things.
One important lesson is in the
union of straight and bias edges.
Were these come in a long seam,
as in one-piece dress, they are so
if badly done. To pre-
vent stretching the bias edge pin it
on top of the straight edge at close
intervals and to the knee and hold
with the left hand sliding the fingers
along as you baste, so as to grasp
all the time a few inc.Ies in front
Of the needle. The bias edge must

just stitched, following with the
iron barely hot enough to sizzle. If

soaks through to the right side and
the iron dries it up and shrinks a
puckered strip along the seam.

or broad surfaces, which require
pressing, such as pockets, hens, &c,
y ace a dampened cotton cloth on
he wrong side Of goods and press
firmly with a slightly hotter iron
than for seams. A half yard or
three qus rters square torn from an
Id skirt or sheet makes conven-
ient size for this purpose. Silks, Of
course, are pressed on the wrong
side without dampening, and only
a warm iron should be used.
Or better still, baste to the square
Of cotton to lie used in the pressing a
piece of serge the same size. When
using it place the serge side next to

The purec Of oatmeal with raisins
is prepared with milk and the fruit
and should be served in soup plates

Fruit soups are another novelty

from dried fruit soak one cupful

shreds of lemon peel Simmer slow

and prunes and press the rest Of

dampen the cotton side and press

heavy iron will do far more effective
work in pressing tailored garments
than a light one.
Pinning and Basting
The steel pins with round glass
heads are far superior to the or
dinary pins for use in sewing.
Their slender points and polished
shanks Will not mar the finest silk,
and it pays to keep box or cushion
of them for use in sewing on.,y;T.
For basting on silk. velvet and cloin
use silk thread as it viii not r,1nt

cotton thread will leave its track all
along. In removing basting threads
cut them every few inches and do
not make the mistake of trying to
pull the entire thread out at one
grab, as there is danger of making
holes where they are pulled out SO
abruptly.

Mock Turtle Soul
Acquainted With Ceeses Increase Your 0v in Ftn6

cided cheese flavor is desired. While
it ages it acquires strong, char
acteristc flavor and becomes the
right consistency to CRATE.
A popular belief about cheese is
that it is hard to digest. This diff
Guilty has generally been due to the
fact that cheese is a hearty food,
and when served as an addition to
an already hearty meal it, together
with other rich foods, might tax the
digestive machinery. When served
as meat substitute and properly
cooked, or if combined suitably with
other foods for meal, it is as easily
digested AS other foods containing a
high percentage Of fat and protein.
Proper cooking Of cheese implies
a low temperature, since the high
temperature hardens the protein,
causing stringiness, and in such
condition it is unpalatablc as well
as indigestiblc. The flavor and fat
content depend upon the variety,
and cheeses made of whole milk are
obviously Of higher food value than
when skim milk is used. In general,
cheese is richer both in fat and
protein than meat, and as such--a
fat and protein food-should hold a
place in regular menu planning as
a concentrated food.
