MANSION HAS SOLID
GOLD BATH FIXTURES
Sir Dhunjibhoy's Palace More
Elaborate Than Kings.

Windsor, England.-The most costly
residence in England is known here
as "The Willows" but neighbors pre-
fer to call it 1.-THE House of the Ara
bian Nights"
1t Is the residence of Sir Dhunjib-
hoy Bomanji, wealthy Bombay mer-
chant. 1t stands within sight of the
towers of Windsor castle, one of the
homes of the king and queen of Eng
land, but it Is said to be furnished
more deliberately than even the royal
home.
Every bedroom in Sir Dhunjibhoy's
home is fitted with marble wash
basin, and every hydrant, bracket and
hatrack is made of solid gold. In Sir
Dhunjibhoy's own room the legs Of
the washstand are also OF gold.
All the furniture is on correspond
ing style of magnifcence. The rooms
are furnished according to various Pc
riod, and the furniture consists entire
ly of rare antiques. Sir Dhunjibhoy's
bedroom is finished in French style in
the fashion of Louis XIV.
The house of the Indian millionaire
Is built in Tudor style. 1t Is sur
rounded by beautiful gardens, dotted
with marble statuary and fountains.
One of the marble pieces, known as
"Truth," attracts particular attention.
1t represents nude woman holding
aloft mirror.
Sir Dhunjibhoy, in addition to be-
ing connoisseur of solid gold and
marble, is also a sportsman. He has
large stable of horses on his
grounds, and to the rear Of his gar
dens miniature race track has been
laid out.
With so magnificent home, enter
tanning is second nature to the BON.
bay potentate and Lady Bomanji
Their guestrooms are almost always
occupied, and Sir Dhunjibhoy has
given several large functions which
many British titled people attended.
Sir Dhunjibhoy Bomanji was knight
ed In 1922 for services rendered the
British and Indian governments dur
ing the World war. He has now come
to England to make his permanent
residence here.

Speed of $50 Miles
an Hour Foreseen

Following the meeting of scientists
In Paris recently to discuss the feast
bility of shooting to the moon, or
Mars or Venus, learned men of Europe
are discussing the limits of speed that
may be attained by man. They cite
the increase of speed since 1921, when
Italy won the Schneider cup with LOT
miles an hour, to the nearly 215 miles
an hour made at Daytona beach this
year. Some scientists predict that in
1890 the race will attain ut least 800
miles in co minutes and constantly in
crease the speed until $50 miles an
hour Is reached. This Is considered
to be the rate of air waves and wheth-
er man will be able to go faster than
this is doubted by some, while others
declare that bombs will be able to
carry passengers even faster. A bomb
recently perfected in England will
travel nearly four miles.

If one finds the family getting tired
of ordinary French dressing on salad,
there are a great many tlavors and
combinations of seasonings by which
1t may be varied, says the bureau of

cheese, or horseradish, added the last

the following recipe, and then try adj

Effective Control of
Many Poultry Diseases

The most effective control of poul-
try disease must come through poul-
try raisers themselves who will en-
ploy veterinarians skilled in poultry
diseases. Governmental and state ac-
ton in case of diseases of poultry
should aim at the protection of do
nestle fowls from foreign contagion,
to prevent the spread of poultry dis
eases from state to state, and to eradi-
cate communicable diseases within
state when they appear. Cooperation
among states would be advisable and
each state in which poultry raising is
important should establish compe-
tent veterinary poultry service which
should include poultry research lab
oratories and competent workers.

should be used, but especially with
sponge cake. A fine granulated su-
gar, not powdered, makes the best
texture; If coarse granulated sugar
is used the cake will be coarse
grained; if powdered sugar, it will
make paste when the eggs are add
ed. Pastry flour is always to be pre-
ferred when making any kind of cake,
and especially with cake that de-
ponds upon it's texture and lightness
for it's attractiyeness, as does the
sponge cake.
We desire to have fresh eggs for all
cakes, but we must remember that
eggs but day or two old will not
beat up as light as those three days
or a week old.
For flavoring, lemon rind and Juice
seem to be the favorite. The acid
acts on the albumen of the egg and
coagulates it, which aids in the light
ness of the cake. Many like q bit
of mace or nutmeg together with the
grated rind Of orange or lemon for
flavor.
The jelly roll is .ne of the most at
tractive and delicious of sponge cakes.
One needs to handle them with care
to have a shapely cake If baking
powder is used in sponge cake the
lemon juice is not used. Here is
recipe out of the ordinary:
Golden Glow Angel cake.-Beat the
yolks of five eggs to stiff froth, then
add one and three-fourths cupfuls Of
sugar (granulated) sifted three times;
beat all TO light cream in which no
grains Of sugar are seen. Fold in the
stiffly beaten whites of ten eggs beaten
stiff with one teaspoonful of cream of
tartar. Add one-half teaspoonful Of
vanilla and the same Of lemon extract
with pinch of salt. Fold in one and
one-fourth cupfuls of pastry flour sift-
ed four times and bake is tube pan
As minutes.
Sponge Jelly RolI.-Sift one cupful
of -four add one teaspoonful of baking
powder and one-half teaspoonful of
salt; sift once more. Break three eggs
into mixing bowl, beat we'll, add one
cupful of sugar, one-fourth cupful Of
water, beat we'll, then add the dry in
gradients, beating well. Lastly, add
two teaspoonfuls of hot melted butter
with any favoring desired, such as
lemon extract, grated lemon rind or a
bit of lemon and vanilla. Bake in q
moderate oven As minutes.
Cut off the Drowned edges, lay the
cake on a powdered, sugared cloth,
spread with jelly or jam and roll up.
Leave in the cloth for a while after
rolling.

Accurate Culling Is
of Great Importance

Accurate culling requires that each
hen be examined. To facilitate han
ding the birds they should be shut
up the night before. A great conven-
fence is coop into which the birds
may be driven and from which they
may be easily removed. Another
method is to seize the birds by use of
strip of wire netting about fifteen
feet long. Catching hooks made of
stiff wire may be used to advantage in
picking up the strays while landing
nets used in fishing may be used for
this purpose. Regardless of the meth
cd used, it is desirable to handle the
flock without undue excitement.
