STAGE NO DETERRENT
Fred Stone Advised by Clergyman
That Man OF Woman Can be Chris
ton and Follow Profession.

| Billings, Mont, March 1.-The con-
versation of Fred Stone, comedian
really began IN Billings, when he APP
peared at theater here February 10.
Stone had been thinking seriously
over the matter of church affiliation.
when his train was held up in South
Dakota by the blizzard. When he ar
rived in Billings, he sought store
where Bibles were sold and asked for
the best version in stock.
County Commissioner Lou Chapple
was in the store and overheard
stones request. Here's a sky pilot
now" he said to Stone, beckoning to
the Rev. Robert Cameron, pastor of
the Presbyterian church, Hell pick
what you want"
Stone and the pastor engaged in
conversation and Stone took the min
lister into his confidence.
Come along with me-" said the
Rev. Mr.. Cameron.
He took Stone to the church Bible
room and their conversation was con-
tlnued; they also had prayer.
Stone wanted the minister's views
as to continuing on the stage as a
Mr.. Cameron told him he
could be a Christian despite the stage.

NATIONAL SYSTEM
IS NOT NECESSARY
U.S.. Does Not Need This EduCa-
tiOnd Policy, Speaker Says

Cleveland, March 1. (By Associated
Press)-The United States does not
need and should not have a national
system of public schools, DR.. Samuel
r. Capen. chancellor of the University
of Buffalo, declared today in an adj
dress at the annual convention of the
department of superintendent of the
National Education association. The
committee reports and discussions &C.
cupied the closing days program.
The strength of American educa-
ton lies chiefly in its diversity, it's
flexibility and its freedom" said DR..
Capen. 1.-The schools of Nevada, for
example, have never been and should
never be like the schools of Massachu-
sets.
IF the United States is to have the
kind of educational service from its
as school systems that the welfare of
the nation requires, a government es-
must be provided which
will accomplish the consolidation OF
the numerous educational offices OF
the government now dealing with
public schools; the investigation on
comprehensive scale of educational
problems and the attraction to the
national service of considerable
group, the most distinguished ex-
perts."
The convention will reject President
reorganization compromise
to create a department of
and welfare and will again
endorse the Sterling-Towner bill, 1t
was predicted.

missioner of education in Massachu-
sets, was elected president of the de-

Plan SHORT TERM
MOTOR LICENSES
Proposed Act Would Allow Auto
lists to Get Limited Permits

Hartford, March 1.-The owners of
motor cars can Look forward to re-
lief in the near future from some
of the burden Of license costs, If
bill proposed by Rep. Brainard Of
Crawford becomes a law.
The bill will make it possible for
car owners to license their cars for
a period of time to be determined
upon by the car owners themselves,
instead of their being obliged to pay
for a period that begins when they
apply for the license and ends on the
31st of December.
Under the present system car
owner who desires to use his car for
the summer months only, say from
June to October, is obliged to pay for
q license running from June to De-
cember 81 This causes much hard
ship, especially among the merchants
and hotel keepers of the shore resorts,
whose business runs only In the sum-
mer, and who have to take out IL
censes of all varieties, trucking, jit-
ney, pleasure, ETC., and pay not for
three or four months, but for six or
seven.
The bill proposed by Rept Brainard,
who is the clerk Of the committee on
roads, rivers and bridges, would
change this system, and make 1t pos /
sible for car owners to specify the |
length of time that they want a IL
cense for, and pay accordingly. The
only thing that approaches the system
at present is the provision made for
outside transients, which enable these
to take out 10 day licenses, renew
able within certain limits, but this ap-
plies not at all to the residents OF
Connecticut.
The bill of Mr.. Brainard will be
incorporated in general motor !,

new HAVEN ROAD is
NOW Selling COAL
Hard Up Factories Given Fuel at
Actual Cost

New Haven. March 1.-The New
Haven road, through General Pur-
chasing Agent N. NJ. Rice has been
doing considerable to help local and
other Connecticut industries during
the present coal scarcity. by the sale
Of part OF large supply OF English
soft coal which 1t had on hand at
Cedar Hill.
Under this department OF the road,
between 10000 and $4,000 tons OF
fuel have been distributed to Con-
nccticut manufactures. The coal
has not been sold unfortunately,
II was pointed out by Mr.. Rice In an
interview on the subject, but care
has. been taken to see that sales arc
made In cases of emergency only.
The railroad company has received
s7.65 ton for the fuel, which is
the actual cost price.
When the coal strike was on last
year, the New Haven road laid in
( this large supply and is thus in
position to spare some of It to other
industries. The company still has
on hand at Cedar Hill between
$1,000 and 10000 tons and will con-
tinue to apply 1t in cases OF
emergency, until deliveries are back
to normal.
Mr.. Rice pointed out that the New
Haven road also renders service to
New England in making practically
all of its purchases of supplies in
these states. This item amounts to
about $25.000,000 year. Last year,
s1,9o0,ooo was spent in Connecticut
alone for ties. which has been made
possible by the recent establishment
of a creosoting plant In this city.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR SOAP
Soapbark, Starch or Bran Water May
Be Used Without Fear Of Injury
to Delicate Color.

When the action of soap Is likely to
injure delicate color, one may use,
instead, soapbark, starch water or
bran water, suggests the United States
Department of Agriculture.
SoaTbark, although not soap. when
heated in water will form suds. To
prepare it for use, boil for ten minutes
a cupful of the bark with one quart of
water, and cool and strain the liquid.
The "soapy" water may be used full
strength for sponging or diluted wash
ing half OF this amount is enough for
one-half tubful Of water. Since the
liquid is brownish, 1t should be used
only on dark col0red goods.
Starch water is especially good for
cleaning delicate cotton fabrics. This
is usually made by adding thin starch
paste to the wash water. Water in
which rice has been boiled, if 1t is not
discolored, may be used instead. II
it is not desirable to have the material
starched slightly. it must be rinsed
In salt water
Bran water, made in the same way
as soapbark solution. Is useful with
colors that are likely to fade. 1t does
not give suRs, but cleans like starch

PROTEIN In EGGS OF

Can Be Served in Many Forms

Need to Tire of Them.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural
When the price of eggs drops during
the spring months housekeepers gen
orally feel that the time has come to
abandon eggless mullins, one-egg cakes
and other dishes in which eggs were
sparingly used, and to give the family
a good deal of the needed protein in
the form of eggs, For the protein OF
eggs, like that Of meat, milk and
cheese, is of such kind that the body
can use it to particular advantage.
Moreover, egg yolks are rich source
Of iron and vitamin A.
Eggs can be served in SO many forms
and with so many other foods that no
one need tire Of them. In addition to
the common ways Of boiling, coddling,
frying and poaching, eggs can be used
In a great variety of custards and
sauces, both sweet and sour. There
are also as many kinds of omelets as
there are tasty ingredients to put in
them. Peppers, cheese, tomatoes,
minced ham, chopped chicken, jelly
and parsley are all good additions to
omelets.
The uses for hard-boiled eggs are In
Vulnerable. They may be cut up and
combined with cream sauce, or the
yoIks may be put through ricer and
sprinkled over the mixture of chopped
whites and sauce, to make "goldenrod

the yolks with salad dressing and sea-
