Kitchen Hints
Tempting Menus
BY BERTHA e. SHAPLEIGH
OF Columbia University

Everyone likes good cake, and
many are the inquiries as to method
of making such cake. The method
of putting together the ingredients
is important but the baking is al
most Is much so, if the result is to
be perfect.
The remark was made to me not
long ago that cake al the present
time costs much less than in the
days of u grandmothers even
though the price of food materials
is greatly increased.
But when a really fine cake is
made today the same good materials
go into it-eggs, butter. sugar and
flour. So many cooks make a cake
which is quickly put together, and
calls for less materials, but they
frost it and put it in layers with fill
iHE and the final cost is quite as
much as a cake calling for ma
terial in itself.
Much experimental work has beer
and is being done to prove the best
method of putting together the in
gradients in a cake. If it is to be
eaten Immediately a cake may be
stirred up very quickly, but fol
keeping quality, fine texture and
good flavor a more careful mixing il
necessary. o
Rules for Mixing
A few rules to follow are impor'
tant. Always have all the material'
ready on the table before beginning
work. Have the over in good con
dition. Have pans carefully butter
ed or creased.
Butter should be melted over hot
water and allowed to stand until the
sediment has formed. Use oil for
greasing pan. 1t is best applied tC
the pan with a soft piece of paper
or brush.
If the cake is to be baked in a
pan not over three inches deep it is
we'll to flour 1t after greasing. Be
careful every bit of flour which does
not cling to the butter is shaken out
For a loaf cake, the best results are
obtained when the pan is lined with
paper.
Now Mix Your Cake
Having pans ready and oven al
your control proceed to nix the
cake. If it is a butter cake, cream on
work the butter and sugar together
until creamy. If eggs are not separ-
ated beat well and add to butter and

Good Manners

In buying sports clothes, either a
man or a woman should ask. in the
order of Importance:
(1) Are they comfortable? (2)
Are they practical? go Are they
becoming?
Sports garb of any kind that inter
feres with freedom of movement, an
auto coat that can't stand dust, a
bathing suit that can't stand water,
a hiking outfit that can't stand hard
wear all are ridiculous.
What's ridiculous never is good
form.

what a stimulant this is to a poor

If the yoiks and whites are beaten

TO the creamed butter and sugar -

stiffly and added at the last, after

The cake gets a more thorough

1t is possible to make a satisfac-

the grain of the cake is coarse.
In making a cake where only the

the eggs need a very thorough beat

Sponge Cake
A genuine" sponge cake has no

but some of the best sponge cakes

There r still cooks who think

as soda and cream OF tartar. The

of course on the size and depth of

A very satisfactory way of bakins

Mary MacSWiney Blocks Wide
spread Surrender Of
Irregular Forces.
By DANIEL O'CONNELL,

DUBLIN, Feb. 26.-Women lead.
ers among the Irish republicans.
led by Mary MacSwiney, have
frustrated widespread surrender
by irregulars in the County Cork
area, it was reported today by
the Free State commandant in the
city of Cork.
County Cork has been the hotbed
of rebellion against the Free Skaters
ever since the Dublin government
was formed. 1t was there that
Michael Collins was shot to death.
Word was received that many
irregular soldiers were contemplat-
ing giving up their arms, but this
was followed by another dispatch
saying that the women, urged on
by Miss MacSwiney, were demand
ing that the men fight to the
bitter end.
Free Safe headquarters at Bantry
sent word that the irregulars In
that district had been driven into
the mountains, where they are sur
rounded by Free State forces. The
republican leaders sent out word
that they were willing to give UP
their arms.
So far no reply has been received
to the appeal which Miss Mary
MacSwiney sent to Pope Plus Xl
in Rome in behalf of her sister
Annie, who has been on hunger
strike for eleven days. Mary as
serted that Roman Catholic priests
have refused to administer sacra
ment to her sister.

Properly handled milk bottles
last for years. The devices used
for sterliZing them at the dairy are

when a milk wagon smashes into

said to be SO small that 1t is diff

That the milk exchange will
function in advancing the interests
of dairymen is said to have been
assured when the organization was
effected last week at a meeting
held at the City Club.

Laboring under severe legislative
handicaps, Congress today entered
the final week with prospects that
only a few more important m0As-
ures can be disposed Of before next
Sunday.
The chief concern now Is the
manner in which the ship subsidy
should be allowed to die, proponents
having almost as difficult a time
in killing 1t satisfactorily" as pre-
viously in keeping it before the
Senate.
with almost unprecedented alac-
rity, the big supply bills, were
passed, including final acceptance
of conference reports. There re-
mains only the third deficiency APP
preparation bill.
The Senate has yet the alien
property bill, providing return Of
German property up to amount of
SO 900 and the diplomatic reorgani-
zation bill as chief matters on the
must" program.
In the House energy Is to be
concentrated on farm credits legis-
lation.
Curiously enough, the pre-adjourn.

this period, has been largely mark

the shipping bill to an uncerennoni

unanimously and to which such Vio-
lent opposition has been voiced by
Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon.
The House has different ideas about
the fitness OF the measure to har-
monize the farmers financial ills.
This situation puts farm relief
bills into the precarious final hours
of the session, when an unexpected
obstacle. such as failure to reach
an adjustment Of House and Senate
differences, might throw them into
the discard along with about $4,000
other bills and resolutions on the
dockets which are expected to die
with the adjournment.
There is always the eleventh

session as one OF feverish anxiety
and activity when almost anything

IN RECITAL
ON ORGAN
Regret Expressed That More
Of city's Music Lovers Could
Not Hear Paris Master.

The remarkable organ recital
given yesterday afternoon by Mar
Gel Dupre, organist OF the Notre
Dame Cathedral, in Paris, in the
music room of the w. s. Corby
residence, Chevy Chase Circle, was
greatly enjoyed by a select repre-
sentation of Washington society
folk.
1t is to be regretted that the
great mass of music lovers of Wash

sib1y the persons who arranged for
yesterdays recital will induce M.
Dupre to visit Washington later in
the season and, by appearing in
one of the city's largest churches,
give the great army of organ en-
thusiasts an opportunity to crafty
their desire to hear him.
Dupre is one of the leading or
ganists Of the world. His combina-
tons are exquisite. and he ma
nipulates his instrument with ex-
traordinary ease.
Lovers of Bach's music in the
audience were delighted with Du'
pres Interpretation of the great
masters Fantasia and Fugue in q
