Waffle Secrets

In practically every home, grid
die cakes or waffleS are served rcgu[
larly once a week, and sometimes
more often, if some member of the
family is particularly fond of them.
Innumerablc complaints are made
about the thick, tough or gummy
griddle cakes or wattlcs that are
served on many diners and III hotel
dining rooms and restaurants. Tn
less care is taken III the preparation.
ii oftentimcs happens that wafflcs
aud gridlc cakes are either too
sweet. or taste of soda. Hence, ac-
curatc measurements are essential.
The success in making wafflcs
lies, both i'll not having the batter
too thick-and in using a well grcas-
ed, hot waffle iron. When using
aluminium, however, the grcasin.
is omitted.
The above rules apply to griddic
cakes rs well. Unless thick cakes
are preferred, the batter should be
rather thin and poured evenly on
the griddlc.
Avoid using too much baking
powder or soda. Have griddlc well
creased, and turn cakes but once.
Serve griddlc cakes and wafflcs
piping hot-uever Just warm, or
they will appear soggy.

custodian for three hours each day
Il was our intention to conduct 3
branch library for the community
as we'll as to serve the school. We
found that the school house is too
tar from the center of the resi-
dcnces and the adults did not use
the books. The school, however,
made good use of them and gave rs
q fair circulation report. We hope
next wear to provide a real branch
with. Il reading room for the east
side.
Story hours were conducted each
Saturday at the library, and occas-
icnallv at the east side school. One
especial story was given al the
Harding school for Memorial day
program.
In order that the public might
have 4 better understanding of the
use Of story hour, and its value. We
gave a very special program at the
club house of the Ten Thousand club
ON April &rd. Mrs. Rita Freedman
Rcardon. a professional storytelier
from san Diego, presented delight
ful program of fairy tales md folk
lcrc, closing with Tolstoi selection
especially for adults.
Mrs. Reardou gave a very helpful
round table discussion for the IL
bIarv staff, ON the technique of
story telling. She is very gifted
artist and we were fortunate in hay
iu- her with as.
The Ten Thousand club assisted

best report on Il book from list
made by the librarian. The library
gave the prize for the best poster,
aud the club for the best report.
Much interest was shown. Tie
posters were exhibited in the library
ami some Of them were very clever,
The following changes were made
in the staff thls year, In October
Miss Alta Phipps was appointed for
half time work, and i'll April she
wa, put on full time. On May 10th
Ms. stern resigned TO take posi-
tiun in the state library and Miss
Marjorie Meservc Of san Diego was
appointed to take her place.
Our large circulation this year
was undoubtedly helped by the ef-
ficiencv and loyalty Of the staff.
and the very consistent cooperation

ON BUILDINGS

Employment OF leading architects
in New York and other cities for
the development OF plans for the
public buildings program in Wash
ington is an issue upon which a
sharp fight is shaping up in Ad-
ministration circles.
A group of Cabinet officers are
demanding that the artistic side of
the new structures be left largely
in the hands of architects of ma
tional reputation, rather than those
in the service of the Government.
The Fine Arts Commission, also,
is said TO be urging that plans for
tho Department @of Commerce build
ing, the Internal Revenue and the
Archives buildings, be dominated by
eminent architects, leaving the Of
flee of j. A. Wetmore, supervising
architect of the Treasury. little
more to do than develop the en-.
gineering plans for the structures.
There are other officials. how
ever, including a majority of mem
bers OF the Public Buildings Com
mission, who believe the supervis-
ing architect should be left in en-
tire charge.
The public buildings act of 1925
gives Mr.. Wetmore authority to en-
ploy whatever architects he re-
quires for the drawing Of plans for
the new buildings.
Preliminary plans for the new
archives buildings were approved
yesterday at a conference in which
DR.. c. Worthington Ford. of the
Massachusetts Historical Society,
and DIR. J.. Franklin Jameson. of
the Carnegie Institution, took part,
along with Herbert Putnam, Ii
