handle. Leave about half of the
dough for day or two SO that it
will sour. If cool weather. keep near
"a fire. If weather Is warm 1t will
get sour most any place. After it
is good and sour add warm water to
keep it in liquid state and add
flour as you use it so as to keep a
batch on hand all the time. This is
your stock to be used instead of

TO REPORT NEXT WEEK
Experts Inform Senator Phipps
That Data Is Nearly
Complete.

The expert accountants who have
Deen auditing the accounts of the
District OF Columbia for the joint
congressional committe investigating
the surplus revenues of the District
have Informed Senator Phipps, chair
man OF the committee. that they will
submit a report to him early next
week.
Senator Phipps has urged the ac-
countants to hurry their report to
him, as the time is growing short in
which the joint committee, under the
District appropriation act for the
current year, must report to Con-
gress. Under that act the report must
be submitted by the first Monday in
February.
Senator Phipps said that he did not
know what the report OF the auditors
contained, since he had not vet seen
a copy, but that he understood IL was
practically completed. After he has
received the report he will call the
joint committe together immediately
to consider it,

j. s. KEEPS CLOSE
TAB ON PROGRESS
OF DEBTSPARLEY
Ambassador Harvey Con-
tinues Conferences. With
President.

The American government was
keeping close watch on the weaken
ing pulse of Europe today as reports
from Paris indicated the imminent
collapse of the allied premiers' latest
attempt to settle the problems of rep
arations
Col. George Harvey, the American
AMBASSADOR to Great Britain, was
summoned to the State Department
at 2:30 o'clock this afternoon for a
conference with Secretary Hughes on
the European problem. Upon leaving
the White House the ambassador was
asked If his discussion with the Sec
retary of State would concern the
failure of the conference of premiers
in Paris to settle the reparations
question. He replied that he did not
know exactly what the Secretary
wished to discuss with him, but that
he anticipated being in the conference
for several hours"
Col Harvey was with Presi-
dent Harding all morning. Later
today it was announced that he prob
ably would hold another conference
with Secretary Hughes at the De-
pal tment of State.
President Harding kept his list en-
tirely clear of callers today and the
only time he took his attention from
the affairs Of state was to attend high
memory of the late president OF Po-
land. Col. Harvey accompanied him,
thus blocking the efforts Of news
paper men to interview the ambassa-
dor at the White House during his
few leisure moments.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
committee on foreign relations, and
Senator ,Frelinghuysen. a member of
the Senate finance committee, were
the only callers admitted to the execu-
tives offices this morning. The Presi-
dent, however, remained in the man
sion and received the senators there.
Both senators were in the White
House some time.
The nature of the business they dis
cussed was not disclosed, but it is as
sumed that they took up the Robin
son resolution providing for American
representation on the reparations
commission. Col. Harvey, who is one
of those mentioned to be called as
witnesses in hearings on the resolu-
tion, was present during the conver-
sation.
Expectations that this government
would intervene, Immediately upon fail
ure Of the premiers conference in Paris,
with some kind OF an offer Of assistance
or mediation do not appear warranted
by the facts OF the situation, as viewed
by officials Of the administration. The
between France and Great
Britain, it is believed, are not such as

RAIN INCREASES
LIGHTING MENACE
Lack of Proper Illumination
Particularly Noticeable
During Bad Weather.

Darkness on many OF the streets
or the city due to inefficient street
lights was aggravated last night con-
siderably by the clouded sky and rain.
Many Of the dark streets in the north
east section were frightened only by
automobile drivers. who used their
headlights to avoid accident.
Raising the height of the lamps
above that Of the ordinary gas lamp.
1t is believed. would result in ma
terially frightening the streets. IT
was noted particularly last night in
approaching street intersections the
corner lamps threw their glare into
the eyes of the driver, making. 1t
difficult to distinguish dark objects
coming from the intersecting streets.
In raising the lights the direct illumj-
nation would be considerably abovs
the eyes of automobile drivers and
pedestrians and the rays would be
given a wider range.
Drivers Go Slowly.
|. 1t was observed last night that am
tomobiles at street intersections couId
not be readily distinguished very far
from the corners, but 1t also was no.
ticed that drivers proceeded SLOWLY
and with extreme caution at street
Intersections.
For lighting the city streets and
highways, including extensions into
now unlighted territories, the House
appropriations committee in it's re-
port of the District appropriation bill
today allowed $4,000 more than the
appropriations for the current fiscal
year. However, the committee cut
the recommendations of the bureau
Of the budget by $4,000. The appro-
priation for the current fiscal year
for street lighting was $430, 900, while
the bureau OF the budget recommend
ed S472.000.
For replacing the old and inefficient
lighting facilities on the public high
ways by modern and more efficient
lighting, the House committee al
lowed the same amount as was appro-
prtated for the current fiscal year,
$4,000. This was a cut Of $4,000 in
the estimate of the bureau Of the
budget, which recommended $4,000.
These cuts will further lengthen the
time when Washington can provide
the public highways with efficient
street lighting. In the past many
street accidents have been blamed on
see distinctly and were not permitted
to use bright lights.
First Street Bad.
First street northwest, from the
south entrance to Soldiers Home
grounds to Massachusetts, avenue, a
thoroughfare which carries a contin-
uous flow of traffic, is lighted with the
mantle type of gas lamps, which fail
