Good Vanilla Frosting.

Put one cupful of sugar, four table
,spoonfuls of cold water and one un-
beaten egg white into the upper part
of double boiler. Have the water in
the lower part boiling. Commence
beating the mixture at once and beat
constantly while it cooks for about
eight minutes, adding small pinch of
salt and one.half teaspoonful of
vanilla. 1t should then look just like
ordinary boiled frosting, and should
be almost thick enough to spread.
Take it from the stove and continue
to heat for about five minutes. or
until 1t has thickened. This Is enough
to frost three.layer cake on the top.
If the frosting is not sufficiently
cooked, place 1t in a double boiler and
recook for short time. or il it is too
stiff add small quantity OF water
and cox again.

Watching the Ships.
From the PHILADELPHIA Ledger.


The market for visibility, which has
its most active exchange on the Bat
terry sea wall, does not seem extraor'
dinarily brisk, except on such occa-
sons as one of the great passenger
lines goes down, or comes up the bay.
Between saiIings and arrivals the
hawkers Of field glasses seem to do a
ianguid trade at best, but let a war
ship. a Coast Guard cutter. or big
ocean liner appear and the vender OF
visibility Immediately does thriving
business as he drones his wares:
Great British liner coming up the
bay" or French line going out" or
"See the United States cruiser setting
out for China" The .fdlers throng
about to rent pair of glasses and
until the vessel passes out Of sight
they follow it's movements as though
they were taking a last look at some
departing beloved, or scanning the
decks for a sight of some eagerly
awaited arrival.

IN CURB DEALINGS
Early Rise Followed by Slack.
ening of Demand-Dan-
ger Signal Seen.


Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, October 6.-Through-
out the first half session on the Curb
Exchange today operations for the
rise made further Roadway. Little at
tempt was made to fight the advance,
although in the afternoon the desire
to take on new commitments was not
as urgent. Many believed that the
market had definitely entered the dan
ger zone, and they were reluctant to
bid prices up unwarrantedly.
One incident that attracted atten-
ton was the action of Banc1taly Cor
poration shares. Heavy selling at the
outset carried the price down more
than two points. Before offerings had
been absorbed the price recorded
loss of more than six points on the
dav. Support was encountered at the
low level and the price rallied several
points.
Warning by Official.
The desire to liquidate was d.
rect response to the words of warn
ing of the executive vice president or
the corporation. He characterized as
,lnwarranted the recent speculation IN
the issue and called the attention or
the investing public to the danger IN
volved. He minated that should the
stock continue as closely held as at
present, 1t is likely to he removed
from trading by the Curb Market. lie
added that such action would have the
approval of directors Of the corpora
ton.
Another spectacular upturn oc-
Cured in Johns Manville shares. They
were bid up some two points further
today on a heavy turnover. Having
the support of the strongest banking
interests in the State, it was not
difficult matter for the professional
speculative element to bid the price
uD, especially in view of the fact that
the stock is thought to be closely held.
A rise from the low of SIS to the cur
rent quotation of 121. in less than
wear has caused considerable comment
amcng the more conservative ele.
ment.
See Rank Speculation.
Close students of market pyro-
technics characterized the present
operations in industrial favorites as
the rankest sort OF speculation, while
those disposed to increase their hold
ings were equally emphatic that con.
ditions affecting the movement OF
stock prices and developments pending
and prospective within the companies
themselves warranted higher prices.
Stutz Motor was taken up and given
a whirl. The oils were more active,
but with the price tendency irregular
and confined to narrow limits by COM
harrison with other industrials. Public
utilities fluctuated uncertainty and the
rails were less prominent on the side
Of rising prices.

NEW YORK. October 6.--The force
OF the buying movement in bonds has
been so great this week that prices
have been advanced day by day TO new
high levels, with an average gain in
domestic issues of nearly half point
since the middle of September Nat
urally, therefore, there is some dis
position to take profits on semi-spec-
ulative bonds. This was reflected in
q more regular market today with
fractional declines in issues that have
recently been popular. However,
there were others which continued
their gains, so the general average of
the list was not much changed
The constructive efforts being made
in the local traction situation have
changed the market aspect of all the

good mail man. Some folks didn't
always get their mail when they
thought they should. Of course
Dewey should have called up Zanes-

why they didn't send the mail, or
perhaps called up some folks and in
quired why they had not written to
his patrons. The folks who have
had the most worry have been those
who got but little mail. Before you
find fault with your mail carrier, sit
down and write the names of all pat
rons of your route, then the names
OF all newspapers and companies and
individuals who are sending mail to

with the mail before it comes into

REFORESTATION A FLOOD
PREVENTION SUGGESTION

| The greatest food disaster this
country has ever known is bringing
realization of the need for well
established policy of food preven
| ton. says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in calling atten-
tion to two important factors in the
control of the rapid run-off of water
i-reforestation and reduction of
| soil erosion. The Importance of for
ests in this respect has long been
emphasized, says the department,
but until recently very little atten-
tion has been given to the effect of
the continued destructive washing of
large areas of cultivated farm land
and pasture lands. If proper atten-
/ ton were given to reforesting rough
lands unsuited to agriculture, to
maintaining good forest cover at the
! headwaters of rivers, and to the pre-
vention of rapid run-off on all slop-
ing farm lands, the department be-
| lieves the problem of food control
would be less difficult.
"Reforestation and forest protec-
| ton" says E. A Sherman, associate
forester of the Forest Service, will
unquestionably enter into any plan
for the future control of the Miss
issippi Claims that the present
flood is due to forest destruction or
claims that reforestation has no
bearing upon food prevention are
both eXaggerations. Every acre of
land in immense catchment basin
of the Mississippi system contributes,
in one form or another, at one time
Or another, to the flood problem. 1t
is idle to say the scores of millions
of acres of forest land within this
basin have no relation to the flood
problem. The plans for preventing
tude must, as one of their essential
factors. include the reforestation of
the headwaters of the Mississippi
and its tributaries"
Failure to hold the absorptive
surface soil of fields and pastures
against the denudation of erosion,'
says H. H. Bennett of the Bureau of
Soils, "has contributed to much
more rapid removal of the water that
falls uron these eroded lands. The
mellow top soil that is gone was far
more retentive of moisture than the
comparatively impervious subsoil
that sheet erosion has left behind
Mr.. Bennett believes this wastage of
the soil has as much to do with the
constantly increasing floods as all
other factors. He says that many
streams navigable a generation ago,
are now clogged with soil debris. He
gives as examples of such clogged
rivers the Coldwater and Talla-
hatchie of northern Mississippi.
Failure to build terraces on slop-
ing fields generally and to plant
grass and trees on the sleeper lands
highly susceptible to rain wash,
says MIR. Bennett, accounts for
much of the excess of water now
sweeping down the Mississippi. If
this kind of soil wastage on an enor-
nous scale is not stopped there is
