When Brillat Savarin, French
statesman, came to this country in the
early part of the nineteenth century
he made the observation that in the
United States he found many churches
but only one sauce. whereas in his
own country they had many sauces
and but one church. To this day
many people know but one sauce

a sauce should be smooth, glossy
and consistent. No Jumps and no
watery, thin places in it.
The thickenirg for sauces is either
starch, as -four and cornstarch, or egg
yolks. Butter is usually the fat, and

II is only fair to shy that these

Perhaps In Spain they are worn by
dowagers, but In America they arc

The bloused coat is popular, but it

was accomplished by, methods con-
trary to church law. Therefore. he

already that he will have the sup

the so-called living church.

MINERS DEMANDS
FACING REJECTION
Operators Regarded as Ger
tain to Refuse New Schedule
Offered; Reply Tomorrow.
By the Associated Press.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., July -
Negotiations for a new. wage con-
tract between the anthracite miners
and operators were unexpectedly in
terrupted today through the in
ability Of the employers to complete
the draft of their reply to the work
ers in time for today's scheduled
session of the miners and operators.
The reason given for the delay was
that the stenographers. were unable
to complete the transcript of the
speeches made by the miners repre-
sentatives at the opening meeting
on Friday, when the wage demands
of the union were formally pre-
sented to the coal companies.
There were unverified reports that
other matters conspired to delay the
drafting Of the reply. The operators
spent the day here comforting with
one another, but had nothing to say
to their attention.
1t is expected the operators will
refuse the demands of the mine
worker but Will leave the door open
for negotiations and possible COM
promise. There was an unconfirmed
report that the operators would ask
arbitration, but in well informed
quarters 1t was said that 1t was too
oarly for such q proposition to be
advanced.
