SENATE STUDIES
PAVING MEASURE
Change in BorIand Law,
Passed by House, to Come
Up in Committee Today.

The bill passed by the House
Saturday relieving property owners
from assessment for the resurfacing
of streets after they have been
assessed for the original pavement
will be taken up by the Senate DIS
trict committee at Il meeting set Tor
3 o'clock this afternoon and it is eX-
pected the committee will order 1t
favorably reported.
The committee also will give con-
sideration to the bill establishing a
new code for the conduct of life In
surance business in the District. Early
In the session measure was proposed
to provide a general code covering all
forms of insurance. A controversy
developed over the fire insurance sec
ton and 1t has been decided to pro-
coed at this time only with the life
provisions, on which there was no
difference Of opinion.
Saves ResurfacIng Expense.
The proposed modification of the
Borland Street-paving assessment law
is an important measure to the prop
erty owners of the District. Prac-
tically all of the citizens associations
have from time to time gone on rec
ord against the Borland law since it
the pending bill does not repeal It,
1t would save taxpayers from meet
ing the cost of resurfaCing @ street
that has been worn out by general
traffic.
An opportunity for the passage of
several local measures that are on
the Senate calendar may arise at the
session of the Senate at O'Clock
tonight. The special order of business

If that should be disposed of early
It is planned to take up bills on the
calendar.
Among the District bills on the cal
endar are: To create separate
Public Utilities Commission, TO au-
thorize a new Police Court Building
and to authorize q nurses home at
Columbia Hospital.
The District Commissioners sent 10
Chairman Capper Of the Senate DIS
trict committee yesterday a favorable
report on the bill.
THE Commissioners are strongly of
the opinion that it is inequitable that
abutting property owners should have
10 pay for the repaving of the road
way in front of their properties when
It has been worn out by traffic in
which they have no pecuniary inter-
est" said the report.
'"There has been, and is. q very
strong public sentiment favorable to
the entire repeal Of the so-called Bor-
land amendment, under which assess.
ments are made against abutting
property owners for paving and re-
paving. The elimination by the House
Of the 20-year limitation contained in
the bill as originally worded was a
marked improvement, as it is mani
fest that it would be inequitable to
relieve property owners of the cost
of replacing the pavement at the end
of 10 years, for example, and not re-
lieve them should the pavement last
q year or two longer.
I'm view Of the fact that the entire
repeal of the Borland amendment
would receive little support in Con-
gress. 1t is believed that the bill pro-
viding for its amendment should be
enacted, so as to provide all relief
which the property owners can secure
at this time"

Construction of a permanent
tourist camp on the site OF the
present camp in the north section
of East Potomac Park, which will
begin as soon as weather permits

the last session of Congress, will
doom the plans drawn up by the
Park Commission and the Fine
Arts Commission to turn that p
acre plot into a recreation park,
leaders in the development of the
National Capitals party system pre-
dicted today.
Included in the plans which.
park authorities say, will have to
be junled if the tourist camp is
permanently located in its present
site are a dozen proposed baseball
diamonds, several football fields,
sites for three bathing. pools and
automobile parking space which
had been planned to accommodate
the crowds attracted by the various
sports for which provision was to
have been made.
Meanwhile Maj. U. S. Grant, 3rd.
director of public buildings and
public parks, is planning to go
ahead with the construction OF the
$50, 200 shelter and club house for
the tourist camp as soon as.

What Women
Should Know

Every housekeeper owes IT TO
herself to keep her hands looking
as well as possible She should
take every precaution to protect
them. A bottle OF hand lotion
should be kept near the kitchen
sink as well as in the bathroom.
Particularly in the winter it should
be freely used after the hands have
been immersed in water We wish
to urge you to form the habit OF
wearing gloves when cleaning. You
should provide yourself with two
pairs-one rubber for those proc
esses requiring moisture, such as
washing dishes, washing windows,
OF cotton gloves for busting,
vacuum cleaning and any other
process where dry dust might work
into the skin or under the finger
nails.
Care Of Furniture
In the routine care of your furni-
ture use nothing more than a dust.
less dust cloth. You can purchase
one or you can make one yourself
in the following manner: pour into
glass jar two tablespoonfuls of
liquid wax or any one Of the furni-
ture polishes that you like best to
use, but pour it Immediately out
again. In the empty jar place a
square Of velveteen or chamois or
even Italian silk. although the two
former give better results. Be sure
that the silk or velveteen is
hemmed. Cheese cloth does not alb
sorb quite so uniformly. Leave the
cloth in the empty jar for day or
two before you attempt to use it.
1t is surprising how the oil and
wax penetrate the fabric-in small
amounts, to be sure. but uniformly
and in sufficient quantity to polish
without leaving any traces of the
polish itself. And that, after all,
is what we wish in furniture clean
ing. Until the wood needs actual
washing use this cloth, then, for
the routine busting. 1t will dust
and polish at the same time. It
is adaptable for use on the piano
or on any other highly finished
wood as well as the whole gamut
Of veneer finishes. When these
dustless cloths become soiled they
may be washed with soap and
water and when dry treated again
to make them duStleSS.

ing of sponge cakes. We have
found that a temperature Of $40
degrees Fahrenheit, which is a
slow oven, is the most satisfactory
temperature for baking sponge
cakes. The use of a heat-regu-
lated oven or a portable oven Their.

this temperature simple and accur-
ate. If too high a temperature
is used, the cake will not rise suf-

After baking invert the cake in
the pan on a. cooling rack and al
low it to-cool in the pan. 1t should
come from the pan by its own
weight. but if it does not, 1t may
be loosened around the sides with
a spatula or fork when cool. If
you attempt to remove the cake
from the pan while it is still
warm, it will frequently shrink.
If the cake is baked in a tube
pan, as angel and sponge cakes
frequently are, the time required
for the baking is one hour. Sponge
cakes may be baked in layers, aud
the layers put together with fill
ing. Whipped cream is often used
for a sponge cake filling. A layer

Layers should be baked about %

We have had a number of re

Hot.water sponge cake proves
satisfactory for this purpose. The
sponge cake batter is baked in Il
thin sheet for 25 minutes, the pan
first being lined with a creased
paper. Remove the cake from the
pan at once. You must work
quickly, as the cake will crack if
it is allowed to cool before rolling.

The Art Of Making
Delicate Sponge
Cake

Probably the most popular cake
to serve with afternoon and evening
collations is sponge or angel cake.
When it is we'll made and light,
fluffy and tender it well deserves
this popularity. =
Sponge cakes. are made with no
shortening, which distinguishes
them from the butter cakes Also.
a true sponge or angel cake con-
tains no leavening, depending on
eggs to tighten the cake. However,
many sponge cakes decrease the
number of eggs and add some bak-
ing powder, for leavening. These
cakes also require no shortening,
and the texture of the finished
cake is very much like that of true
sponge cakes The methods of
making and baking are practically
the same.
The recipes for true sponge or
angel cake all call for cream of
tartar or vinegar, both Of which
for the purpose of stiffening the
albumen of the egg whites, and
help to keep the mixture firm.
" Select eggs which are in good
condition. They should be at least
twenty-four hours old to beat well,
and should also be very cold. The
egg whites should be beaten until
quite stiff: that is, until a point
will hold it's shape. or the bowl can
be inverted, but not until they are
dry. This beating incorporates a
quantity Of an which lightens the
cake by expanding with heat. Egg
yolks, when used, should be beaten
until thick and lemon colored.
Due to the fact that they contain
quite a large percentage Of fat,
they will not beat up so stiff as the
whites, nor can much air De in
corporated in them. Fine-grained
granulated sugar should be used.
Pastry flour should always be used.
