HOT FOR
DESSERT SATISFY
Cottage Pudding Is an Ac.
cepfable Conclusion.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Hot buildings for dessert were more
popular a generation ago than they are
now-partly because many of them
too much time to prepare and cook,
and partly with our newer knowledge
OF diet, a rich heavy pudding is con-
sidered inappropriate at the end Of a
rich heavy meal. But when for some
good reason the other courses and
dishes of a meal have been less satisfy
ing than usual, a good plain hot dessert
such as cottage pudding may be a
very acceptable conclusion to a din
ner. Perhaps smaller than ordinary
portions have been served-or one has
used up a number of leftovers-or
there may have been unexpected COM
pany, necessitating a change in menu.
Whatever the reason for choosing it,
cottage pudding is appetizing and fill
ing, and is n of the easiest desserts
one can have, for it can be put in the
oven about the time the first part of
the meal is served, and will be ready

tiers of an hour, depending on the kind
of pan in which it is cooked. 1t is
therefore a good "last-minute" and
emergency dessert, served either plain
or varied in many ways.
The recipe below is given by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture:
Cottage Pudding.
! cupful milk.
2 1-3 cupfuls sifted soft wheat -four.
Il to 1-3 cupful fat.
l egg.
3 te~aspoonfuls baking powder.
2-3 cupful sugar.
II t~easpoonful salt.
" teaspoonful favoring.
Mix and sift together the dry ingre-
dents. The eggs are beaten slightly
and added to the other liquid ingre-
dents, which are then stirred gradual
ly into the dry. The melted fat Is
added last to the batter, rather than
mixed with the liquids. Bake in a
fairly hot wen (about 800 degrees
F~ahrenheit) if muffin pans are used to
make individual servings or at a more
moderate temperature (about 365 de-
grees Fahrenheit) in a thin loaf.
Cottage pudding is usually served
hot with a sauce, which may be hot or
cold. 1t may be hard sauce, whipped
cream, chocolate sauce, a canned or
stewed fruit sauce, or n of the slight
ly thickened hot sauces such as lemon,
orange, raisin, or vanilla, which some
times have egg or cornstarch as the
thickening agent. Small amounts Of
canned fruit may be utilized to ad-
vantage in such a sauce, as, for ex-
ample, some leftover canned pineapple
or peaches.
A cupful of nut meats, seeded
~raisins, sultanas, dried c%urrants, or
dates may be added to plain cottage
pudding batter to make a more elab-
crate dessert. Except for the sultanas
and currants any of these should be
chopped into convenient pieces and
lightly Toured. They are added when
the batter is mixed. A chopping bowl
is more satisfactory for preparing the
nuts or fruits than a meat grinder.
Chopped dried figs, either just as they
come, or stewed and drained of all
liquid, may be added if liked, or
stewed fig sauce may be used with a
plain pudding. Canned blueberries
(also fresh blueberries and blackber-
ries in season. and canned cherries are
other fruits which may be added,

Iaft. A tentative bill was formulat- ed by Representative Curry, chair man of the Committee on Territor- les of the House, and was under dis cussion year later, when MT. Lane, having retired from public life, died on May IS, 1921
 The printed hearings on this De Velopment Board measure, which was primarily intended to coordinate and concentrate Federal activities in All aska, constitute the most illuminat- ln presentation of conditions in the Northland ever documented. Altho divergence of opinion developed on minor points, Alaskans and those familiar with the country uniform ly commended the aims and pur- poses of the proposed legislation, but the Federal bureaus opposed it and rallied to their support the con- servationists of the East on the the ory that the measure would invite spoliation of the forests, the fisher ies and game.
 The Agricultural Department stren- uously objected to the transfer of any of its agencies to a board operating under another department. Admit ting the need of coordination and favoring this underlying principle of the bill, Chief Forester Greeley held that it was not necessary, in order to give Alaska efficient administra- tion, Ito incur the risk of breaking up a consistent control and consist ent national policy in dealing with each of our public resources by the responsible agencies in Washington" Avowing complete sympathy with the idea of local administration of Feder- al activities and public resources in Alaska, he said the greatest evil had

success and prerogatives, and all more or less unrelated and independ- ent in their operations"
 He indicted bureaucracy and red tapeism with all the power at his command. Strong of faith in Alaska, he strove diligently, but unsuccess- fully, to eradicate bureau control and substitute a system that would be homologous and workable. On the eve of his retirement from of flee, he wrote: The Government should either be prepared to act pa- ternalistically in the development of this demain which it owns, or it should make it easier for the people to develop it themselves. It is not necessary to give away its resources in order to secure this development We have not yet begun to know what is in Alaska. It is a great land which needs but to be known and to be loved for it's beauty, it gran deur and it's assurance that it will be the home of many thousands of stalwart Americans"
 At that time, January, 1920, the creation of an Alaskan Development Board, resident in Alaska, to be ap- pointed by the President, was propos- ed in pending legislation, such board to have authority broad enough to permit it to develop Alaska along pioneer lines, making the rewards am- pie for those who do the developing, but insuring against long speculative holding" In principle, if not in de- tail, this proposition was akin to the commission plan of government for the territory advocated by President
Seward daily gateway., 1925-08-05

there would be just three plans in his platform: Tn the first place l would let the control of policies as exercised through general regulations rest right where it is now, the De- partment of Agriculture as to its work, the Interior Department as to it's work, and the Department of Commerce as to it's work. Secondly, would put in Alaska a local repre- sentative of each department, with authority to act on the ground with in the regulations prescribed by the department head, and I would make that authority very wide. Thirdly, I would provide for Alaska a cabi- net in which all these Wcal depart ment heads would get together and correlate their work"
 The committee made no report on the Development Board measure and ultimately it was abandoned.
 A similar fate attended coordina- tion bills introduced at the regular session of Congress in 1921-22, when again it was proposed to vest juris- diction over Alaska in the Interior Department. Friction developed in the cabinet over the pending legisla- ton and a repetition of the costly conservation row of ten years before was threatened.
 To avert this and restore admins tration harmony and preserve politi cal peace the coordination bills were prudently deferred and finally pig eonholed and forgotten. And so the heterologous system is undisturbed and complicatedly endures.
 On the main issue, that coordinat- ed Federal activities in Alaska would be conducive to the dispatch of bus mess and general efficiency, and to economy as well, no plausible argu- ment in opposition has ever been en- tered. The fact is too obvious for controversy. But conservation, while not actually involved in administra- tive reforms, invariably clouds and

"This meeting of the executive COM

representing 10000 organized work

most vehemently protest against the
recent exhibition of capitalist class
justice by the wanton Imprisonment
of twelve members OF the Communist

This national conference should be

all affiliated organizations of the Lon

their endeavors to secure the con-

the necessary machinery for securing
the release Of these comrades and
the immediate repeal Of such anti
working class legislation as the mu-

workers have been imprisoned"
