Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

May 10, 1S60.-A heavy rain today
is proving to be quite beneficial to vari-
Gus parts of the city by washing away
filth and dirt from localities that have
suffered much from these nuisances for
a long time. The part of Pennsylvania
avenue that is suffering most from de-
posts of mud and sand, washed down
from the northern ridge, is at Thir-
tenth street. The mud is piling up
there and is rapidly becoming ankle
deep At this point and other places
on Pennsylvania avenue where the rain
is washing down soil from the rldge
iaborers will be put to work as soon
as the rain ceases, to make the streets
paSsable for pedestrians without the
risk of being mired.
In political circles here there Is
lively interest in the news from Balti-
more today that the Constitutional I'm
ion convention has nominated John
Bell for President and Edward Everett
for Vice President. Though regarded
as two of the most respectable gen.
tlemen of the land, the feeling here is
that they will be unable to bring to the
aid of their cause a single vote outside
of their strictest party organization.
Their political friends here with one
accord, however much they esteem and
admire them personally, are chagrined
by their nomination beyond expression.
The belief is that the convention, in
making these nominations, has thrown
away its only chance of success, which
was to run its nominees into a contest
in the House and Representatives.
It is regarded as utterly impossible
that Bell and Everett can carry single
vote in any slave-holding State beyond
their narroweSt party strength, and it
is believed that they can by no means
carry that. if the Democracy runs two
tickets in the South. as one or the other
ticket, supported by the Democracy,
will doubtless swallow up much of the
Union party.
In the North it is expected that Bell
and Everett will fail under any circum-
stances to win single electoral vote.
It is not apparent how they can in any
way weaken the Republican party.
Even in the event of the failure OF
he current efforts to bring the Charles
ton Democratic convention together
again at Baltimore, upon which prob
ably depends the question of whether
there shall be two Democratic tickets
IN the field in nearly every Northern
State, it is not believed that Bell and
Everett can get within sight of con-
test in the House of Representatives.

A Sermon for Today
BY REV. JOHN r. GUM.
Beware of Flatterers.

Text-Meddle not with him that fiat
tereth with his lips. Proverbs, Xx.19.
"Flatterers are the worst kind OF
enemies" says Tacitus. Another calls
the flatterer "a beast that biteth smil-
ing"
Allow no fiatterer to deceive you with
his false protestation of friendship. 1t
is not friendship that inspires his fiat
terry, but sordid seldshneSs. Over-eX-
tolling your abilities and virtues, he is
merely appealing to your pride in order
to enlist your personal favor or aid
for some selfish ends of his own.
But the worst danger of fiattery lies
in another direction. Its chief danger
was indicated by Sir Walter Raleigh
when he said: "Flatterers are the worst
kind of traitors, for they will strengthen
thy imperfectionS, encourage thee in all
evils, correct thee in nothing, but so
shadow and paint thy follies and vices
as thou shalt never, by their will, dis
cover good from evil or vice from vir-
tue" 1t was this that Solomon had in
mind when he said, "A f1attering mouth
worketh ruin"
A wise man can usually detect when
he is being fIattered. Some one has
said, "As a wolf resembles a dog, so
doth fiatterer a friend" Neverthe-
less the f1atterer usually betrays him
self by his fulsomeness. He is usually
so obsequious and full of protestations
that you have no difficulty in distin-
gushing him. Yet one needs to be ex-
ceedingly careful lest he be deceived
Unless we are on our guard, the fiat
terer may very easily deceive us by
playing upon our pride and vanity.
We will appreciate sincere COM
mendation. An honest commentator !:
always an encouragement to us, and in
spires us to nobler endeavor. We dC
well to prize the expressed apprecia
| ton of true friends But let us learr
to beware of f1atterers.

There are few households that are
not occasionally confronted with the
PROBLEM of using up sour milk and
cream. And this is perhaps more Of
ten the case with the less experienced
houSekeeper who has not yet learned
all of the possibilities of the many uses
of milk.
Small amounts of sour milk may be
used instead of fresh in making muf-
fms, biscuits, griddle cakes or other
hot breads, or for cakes, nut bread
or gingerbread. Sometimes the milk
may be left undisturbed until 1t has
thickened or "clabbered" when it can
be used in much the same way as
junket. This is wholesome food and
when served with little sugar and
some fresh fruit it makes an ideal warm
amounts of sour milk may be made
into cottage cheese. or pot cheese, as
it is sometimes called.
When sour milk is used instead
of fresh milk for baking some baking
soda must be used to neutralize the
acid of the sour milk. This has the
same effect as when baking powder
is used with fresh milk, that is, it
lightens or raises the mixture. If the
milk is very thick or sour, one level
teaspoon of soda will be required for
each cup. If it is not thick, it is
better to allow only one-half teaspoon
of soda.
Since too much soda causes bitter
flavor and the appearance OF brown
spots or specks in the cake, biscuits
or mullins, the very safest policy to
follow, If you are an inexperienced
cook, is to use one-fourth teaspoon Of
soda for each cup of sour milk and
to add two teaspoons of baking pow
der for each cup of flour that is used
The use of sour cream is a little
different. Generally speaking. there
are likely to be smaller amounts of
cream on hand than milk. One of the
best ways of using this Is in salad
dressing One-third cup of sour cream,
teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon
of lemon juice makes a delicious dress
ing for shredded raw cabbage. One
fourth cup of sour cream mixed with
an equal amount Of mayonnaise and
favored with little lemon Juice and
sugar makes an excellent addition to
fruit salad.
A rather unusual sauce for asparagus,
broccoli. string beans or carrots is made
by mixing together one-half cup of sour
cream, two well beaten egg yolkS and
one-half teaspoon of salt. This is STIR
red constantly over hot water until
it begins to thicken. Then remove
from the fire and add one tablespoon
of lemon juice little at time. Stir

Italian Tart.

Beat three egg yolks until light with
three tablespoonful of sugar. Sift
three tablespoonsful of flour that has
been mixed with one-half teaspoonful
of baking powder and add to the egg
yolks. Then fold in the stifiy beaten
whites of the three eggs and one-half
teaspoonful of grated lemon rind. Pour
the mixture into a medium sized,
creased ring mold or angel cake pan
and bake in moderate over for IS
minutes. Invert and let stand until
cold. Then remove from the pan and
place in q deep serving plate. Cut
gashes at equal intervals all over the
cake and pour hot lemon sauce favored
with maraschino juice or rum flavoring
over the cake with tablespoon. letting
1t soak into all the gashes. Use one
cupful Of sauce. Let stand until cold,
fill the center with whipped cream and
garnish with maraschino cherries.

If the pan is turned upside
down and cookies are placed on

When packing gowns in a suit
case. fold them neatly and tie
each to a piece of cardboard.
You will find when you have

your gowns will not look crushed.

Teeth Like Pearls.

It is difficult to know how to choose
among the many dentrifices and tooth
brushes on the market, yet there is
always a satisfaction in knowing that
you have chosen the one best suited to
your particular needs. Teeth vary
greatly in the hardness Of the outer
enamel, and what is excellent for some
would injure others. The best way to
settle this question is to ask specialist.

Everyday Law Cases
Is Radio Broadcdsting a Public
Utility?
BY THE COUNSELLOR.

Both political factions in the munich
pal contest in Midcity recognized the
Importance of the radio in their cam
paign. Jackson, one of the candidates
for mayor, called on the only local radio
company to make arrangements to
broadcast his speeches, but to his sur
prise his request was refused, the COM
pany informing him that the opposing
faction had paid for exclusive use OF
the radio.
Jackson petitioned the local court for
a writ of mandamas to compel the
radio company to sell him the same
privilege it had sold. the opposing
faction, contending that radio broad
casting was a public utility, and as
such could not discriminate as to the
use of its service.
The court in refusing the writ stated
that the question was new one, and
explained:
1.-The generally recognized factors of
a public utility are legal monopoly, the
grant of special franchise and the grant
of the power of eminent domain. Ra-
dio broadca.Sting companies are not
given such privileges, and hence can
not be recognized as public utilities by
judicial determination. Such change
must be the subject of specific
statute"

Fine lines on a fabby skin require an
astringent, and a dry skin needs an
oily massage cream. And eye wrinkles
disappear when massage cream is used
and a little left on all night after the
massage.
Every skin benefits from some sort
OF daily astringent, even a mild one like
witch hazel.
Barbara R.-Try an oily cream in
stead of the vanishing kind, and see if
that will not form base for the pow
der. 1t takes very little bit of cream,
and after it is rubbed in, the skin
, should be wiped of, but there will al
ways be enough left for the powder
to adhere to. A very dark brunette
type such as you are, should choose
| dark shades of powder and rouge
JameS-There is no way for you to
darken your red hair, and If you could
do it, the boys that are teasing you now
would have even a greater inducement
to go on with it. am sure you have
| a great advantage over them by having
red hair. You might tell your school
friends that you like your hair Just the
color it is and would not have 1t any
other shade even If you could change it.

AND THEIR CHILDREN.

One mother says:
When I used to cook baby's cereal
in my large double boiler, I had to
cook really more than needed or else
the cereal was lost In the too large
boiler. AS I have just the one member
of the family who eats hot cereal ]
racked my brain to figure out way to
cook a small amount in the thorough
manner that double boiler cooks such
foods. One day while wandering through
the toy section of a department store,
I saw the incest little aluminium double
boiler which little girls use in playing
house and right then decided it was
just the thing 7 was looking for in
which to cook the baby's cereal.
cook it on the Simmerer and 1t takes
very little gas and has not much chance
of boiling dry on such a small blaze.
