Miss Barber Gave
 Demonstration Of Cooking At Y.W.C.A

A most interesting dem monstration of quick breads, especially soda biscuits and mullins was given yesterday af- ternoon in the Y. w. c. A., on Golden l Hill street by Miss Mary I. Barber of 1 Teachers college, Columbia Univer- i city. The afternoon session was the second of a series of nine dem onstra- tions. Last evening Miss Barber spoke of Meals for the Business Women " The subjects for today were morning, "Busy Day Luncheons," afternoon, Making the. Most of Meat" evening, Characterization Through Cookery" A delicious little orange tea biscuit was made yesterday afternoon by the following recipe, a cup flour; one tea spoonful salt; four teaspoonful baking powder; four QeveD teaspoonfuls fat !; One-half cup milk; one teaspoonful sugar; the rind of one-half orange and juice of one-half orange. The rind of the orange is added when the bat ter has been made. After the biscuits are cut block of Domino sugar dip ped in orange juice is placed directly m the center of the biscuit. When baked the sugar has melted and has formed a delicious coating for the cake.
 With slight variations to this recipe Miss Baker made cinnamon biscuits, sometimes called Molly Agates' be- cause of a little legend which states that the first of tn is certain kind or cake was made by an old Indian squaw Molly Agate, who was cook at a, Maine camp
 Miss Baker advised the use of ba- con fat in the making of pastry and stated that the renown of the famous Schartt team room pastry in New York, is probably due to the use Of this shortening. The oven for mak- ing the baking powder biscuits should register about 450 degrees.
 One of the most delightful features of the demonstration was the divulg- ing by Miss Barber of the secret Of how the chocolate sauce which is so famous in New York tea rooms is made. Here goes, two cups sugar; two squares chocolate; one third cup Karo; one-half cup milk. The 1ngre- dients are boiled over a slow fire and when it will run off the spoon III the thickness desired it should be taken from the stove and served. One or .the methods in which the sauce IS used is in ice-cream cake. A com
 mon sponge cake is cut in the mid dle (from left to right) and filled with ice cream The sauce is spread over the top of the cake and allowed to run over the sides Split oceans are used for trimming.
 The receipt for mullins as made by Miss Barber is as follows: two cups flour three teaSpoonfulS baking pow der, salt, four tablespoonfuls sugar; one cup milk; one egg, four table spoonfuls fat. The fat and sugar are creamed and then the egg is added, while these ingredients are being stir red the milk, flour, salt and baking powder are put in. The demonstra- if there is a low percentage of milk and sugar to the amount of flour, the egg has a tendency to tougher the mixture.

 The Rice Method for rupture is known the world over. You can now obtain this Method on trial with a guarantee you are not entirely satisfied with what you get. Go to the Lorraine 1totel on perts fit you with a Rice Comfort Rup- ture Support; take it home and try it, then if you are not satisfied that II holds out greater hopes of permanent relief than anything you have ever tried, you can return to the hotel and get no charge for the trial.
 Why wear truss all your life when thousands have reported cures through burden of rupture if there is a chance to be free from truSs-wearng forever? You want to be relieved of your rupture so why not take advantage of this op- portunity and ind out what the Rice Method holds in store for you There is obligation on your part, for if you are not satisfied after a thorough trial, your money will be refunded if you re- This is a eenuine money back offer and you are the judge as to whether you want to keep the Method or not.

Storm Will Not Change Time
 of Trains

The b1inding snow storm of which the city is now in the grip will not change the schedule of railroad trains according to Stationnaster Hunt. All trains now running between New York and Boston are on time and unless the storm keeps up for several days no radical change in the sched- u1e will be noticed.
 All traffic in the harbor is tied up and the tug Virginia with the barge Chislan arrived in the harbor just in time to escape the storm. The Virginia Is from Norfolk and was to clear for that port today but the captain of the boat will not leave the harbpr until sure that the storm is over. The tugs McAllfster, Glen and Isis of the Bridgeport Towing company will not venture out today.

The harbor master gave orders for the immediate removal of the sloop.

SIMPLE ANTENNA Is
BEST FOR AMATEUR.
Straight, Single Wire Type;
Placed High, Is Preferable
for the Receiving Set. \

It Is estimated that In one years
time from 100000 to 100000. new
radio receivers were installed in the
United States and from observation
II would appear that there were al
most as many different styles Of an
tennae erected as there were sets
installed. This; TOO. despite the fact
that the country was flooded with liter
allure telling each and every citizen
how to build his own set.
These cage, flat'tOp, multi-wire, um-
brella. etc., kinds of antenna we're de-
signed primarily for their sending
characteristics. Remember that. in the
beginning of radio, the man who want
ed to hear wireless signals had to
know quite bit about practical radio.
He had to know the Continental and
Morse codes, and in addition to be a
fairly decent sort of mechanic. He
was, in short, the radio amateur, who
wanted to send as well as receive.
Therefore all this early literature was
for the man who wanted to send as
well as receive.
Since radiophone broadcasting was
first started, there has grown up an.
other army of radio enthusiasts,
greatly outnumbering the pioneer anna
tours, who do not want to send at all,
but who do wish to receive. Therefore
much Of this early literature does not
apply, or more correctly, all Of it does
not apply, to the new generation.
In building an antenna, remember
that nothing is more satisfactory for

the amateur than the straight, single
wire antenna, as high in the air as If
can be placed, and about $50 feet long.
An antenna of this sort, will give bet
ter results, in most cases, than any
other sort. It will take up less room,
and will not cut so heavily into the
owners finances.
receiving set is to absorb the maxi
mum amount Of energy radiated from
a transmitter. This means that it
must be so built and placed as to be
as efficient as possible. The factors
governing the type Of aerial to be
erected are as follows:
Amount Of space available.
The amount Of money which is to
be spent.
The wave-length range which is to
be received.
The distance from which signals are
sent.
An aerial possesses both distributed
capacity and inductance, which COM
' bined give it defined period, of oscil-
lation. These oscillations will set up
a wave motion the length Of which is
related to the capacity and inductance
by formula which can be closely ap-
proximated by multiplying the length
of the antenna in feet, plus the length
Of the lead-in in feet, by 1.22. This
will give the fundamental wave length
of the antenna.
No matter what kind of antenna is
used it must always be remembered
that the lead-in should be as short and
as direct as possible. In other words,
don't use up any unnecessary energy
received in the antenna to force
way through long lead-in to the re-
ceiver. ..-s
If multi.wire antenna is used.
have the lead-in consist ofaas many
wires as are In the antenna. These
wires should be wrapped together at 4
point few feet from the antenna and
brought into the recelTing set as
cable. Where this cable passes through
the walls Of the building, it should be
insulated with porcelain tube or stand
ard electrose lead-in insuIators.
Be careful to keep the lead>in as
u far, as possible from electric light
wires, telephone wires, etc. II this is
not done, an Objectionable 6O-cycle
hum may be heard in the phones,
caused by electric light induction.
The ground connection should also
be as short and direct as possible.
Service water pipes or gas pipes make
excellent grounds, and should be used
in all cases where available. All con-
nections in the ground lead-in should
be soldered, especially the connection
to the actual ground pipe. If this is
not done, the ground resistance will
so decrease the strength Of the re-
ceived signals as to make them almost
inaudible.
If water pipes are not available for
a ground, bury from eight to ten feet
