APPLICATIONS FILED.
FOR RAIL-. MERGER.
Unification of Southwest
Lines Held Different From
Consolidation.

Dy tue AsS'RClaleQ Press.
Another step in the far-reaching
plans of T.. f. Loree to link the prin
cipal transportation gateways of the
countryf was taken yesterday with the
filing af two applications with the In.
terstaie Commerce Commission to
unite into a single system three major
carriers of the Southwest.
Approval of the two plans, one pro.
viding for acquisition Of stock cen
troll of the Missouri kansas Texas

and the other for assumption OF
similar control by the Katy OF the
St. Louis Southwestern Cotton Belt,
would mold into one big operating
system nearly 5000 miles of track and
approximately 5000 ,000,0 900 of working
capital The commission was re-
|, queSted to regard both applications as
covering one general project, and
they be considered together.
Distinction Is Stressed.
The distinction between consolida-
ton under common ownership and
management, prohibited by law pend
ing completion by the commission of
final consolidation plans, and merg-
ing through stock control to operate
as a single system, was emphasized
in the Katy application, which eX-
planned it was for acquisition, not
involving consolidation into a single
system for ownership and operation, .
of the Cotton Belt.
Unlike the rejected Nickel Plate
unification plan, which called for the
creation of new company to assume
control over five railroad units, and
the issuance in some instances of non
voting stock, the applications filed yes

Economy Is Cited.
One of the principal reasons for
uniting the three roads was said to
be the necessity for a grouping of the
Southwestern carriers into a limited
number of systems. so arranged as

In operation and the most efficient
service to the public.

numerical majority of its outstand.

Under the agreement, the KATY in
addition would acquire all rights of
the Kansas City Southern to a reduc-
ton of the purchase price of Cotton
Belt shares bought from the Rock
Island.
OF the larger independent carriers
IN the Southwest. the applications
pointed out, practically the only ones
which remain unattached to some
large system were the Katy, with
3,188 miles of track; the st. Louis
Southwestern, with 1.747, and the
Kansas City Southern, with S65.

GLORIFIED RICE PUDDING

VtHERE is no good reason Why
rice pudding should not be as
useful to the home maker as 1t IL
popular with men who eat at res-
taurants. In fact, II q tip was
taken from the frequency with
which men order this dessert per-
haps something might be done
to make it more interesting at
home.
Rice pudding can be made truly
good In itself. BY that we mean
the kind that's made with really
well cooked rice and that is a
creamy consistency Of milk and
eggs and has a little lemon and
the flavor of brown sugar instead
of white.
Starting from this point there
are any number of useful as well
as delicious desserts which may
be made by simply varying the
recipe slightly.
For instance, now that pears
ere in season serve nicely jellied
rice pudding in a serving dish
lined with sliced pears. You will
find this just slightly better than
the usual pear conde made with
stewed rice and 1t has the advan-
tage of needing no sauce. A few
bits Of candied ginger as well as
lemon may be added to the pud-
din for this service.
Nicely cooked halves Of apples
sirnmered in thin syrup may be
used instead of pears. IL the
apples are cored and cut in slices
crosswigo use alternate layers of
apples and pudding, cover with the
apple rings and add a. bit OF bright
jelly to the center Of each ring.
In fact, a plain rice pudding
can be delicately glorified ny COW
ering the top with jam and a
merangue 10 minutes before the
pudding is done SO that the .Yner-
anguat viii turn a delicate brown.

Of jam is pleasant surprise to

Most startling perhaps OF the
many changes that may be made
in the rice pudding formula IL the
frozen pudding served with
oranges.
This may require q special
recipe: n cup rice, / quart rich
milk, n cup sugar, orange. 6
egg yolks, n teaspoon vanilla,
cup cream.
Wash rice and cook until soft
in double boiler with milk, sugar
and the thin outside yellow part
of the orange skin, finely grated.
Then add egg yolks juice OF the
orange, vanilla and cream.
Freeze until firm. Serve in
glasses garnished with sections or
orange and whipped cream.
