ANGEL, SPONGE
+ CAKE HINTS
!, ARE GIVEN
Pertinent Facts Concerning
Baking "The Perfect Cake"
Are Offered by Experts

Every woman lilies to bake a
cake and is proud of a perfect
one. Many requests have come
of late for help in baking angel
and sponge cakes, and for these as
for many other interested readers
we are going to give some helpful
hits for making this type of
cakes.
The chief difficulty in making
angel food and sponge cakes is to
get the egg whites we'll mixed with
the other ingredients without at
the same time stirring out the
air in the beaten whites. 1t is
the expansion of the air which
makes the cake light, and for this
reason. if it is lost, the cake will
be compact and heavy.
Uneven Texture
On the other hand. if the egg
whites are not well mixed with
the other ingredients the cake
will be coarse and of uneven
texture.
Cream of tartar seems to be
essential In angel cake making
and desirable in sponge cake
Without cream of tartar, angel
cake is cream-colored rather than
white. and tends to shrink cur
ing the last few minutes of b&k-
ing so that the volume after oak.
ing is but little greater than be-
fore.

Many Delightful
FLQUOrings in Use

There are so many delightful
and unusual flavorings on the
market now that add distinction
and variety to dishes that one
is tempted to have them all. And
there really is no reason why one
who is cooking a good deal should
not have them on hand.
At first it may appear as an ex-
travagance, but when it is real
lied that only a few drops of
each are required to give hat
interesting flavor, it is obvious
that the stock will last a long
time. And every kitchen should
most certainly have its kitchen
bouquet, an interesting flavoring
especially for gravieS.

STATE VETERANS
WELFARE BOARD
OFFICIALS HERE

Investigation and appraisal of
properties in Imperial Valley which
war veterans wish to purchase un-
der the plan of the Veterans Well
fare board, are under way here at
present by Allen B. Bixby, director
OF the department of Military and
Veteran affairs and chairman of
the Veterans Welfare board, WAL
ter Kibbey, attorney, and John Kill
foil, appraiser.
Veterans whose applications have
been approved are in the group
being considered locally at the pres
ent time. Officials of the board
are working throughout the state
of California and plan to return to
the valley once every month to
handle the business in connection
with the loans.
The board has % farms in the
valley and large number of homes
and properties. They are engaged
in the purchase of $40 100000 worth
OF properties, in addition to the
amount held in the state at this
time.
Veterans select and submit prop
erty desired and after being ap-
praised and approved by the board,
that organization purchases it for
cash in the name of the state and
resells it to the veteran on long time
contracts with a maximum of 20
years. The interest rate is five per-
cent, BiXby explained.
Every veteran who was a bona
fide resident of the state of Cali
fornia when he entered military
service in the time of war should
file his application for home or
farm purchase, as it costs nothing"
Bixby explained. "and no veteran
can tell when he will need it or
what will happen to him.
All of the applications under con-
sideration here at present are those
of local men. according to Bixby,
and Imperial Valley veterans have
an especially fine record on farms.
The board owns $500 parcels of
property, including homes and
farms, and has an actual invest
ment in excess of $36,00000O. Less
than 300 of the pieces of property
are farms.

The period from January 10 to
January 30 was designated by the

aside TO increase the amount of air
mail leaving the valley in order
that postal authorities would be
impressed with the need OF this
community for air mail service.
The various civic organizations OF
Imperial Valley have taken steps
to assist in the increase of mail
destined for air service and the Ell
Centre realty board has made an
active campaign to sell air mail en-
yelopes to the business of the city.

states, the Meloland experiment sta
ton has each year gone ahead with
its own investigation and has now
determined definitely the best va
riety to plant, the time of planting
and depth of water and all other
necessary facts. Rice growing here
now should become an exact science
and on the heavier well drained land
it should be preeminently success
full.
In addition to the rice crop, an
improvement in the texture Of the
soil results from the flooding of the
land for several months and if any
alkali is present in the soil, it is
driven down below the root levels.
making the ground adaptable tor
other future crops. Hays states this
in an announcement for planting
rice in addition to the crop yield.
Mar Jack plans a trip to Sacra-
mento to interest his countrymen
in the production of rice here on a
large scale. With the decrease OF
cotton planting in Imperial Valley
much of the heavier land is now
available for rice culture and much
of it will be improved by the four
months flooding which is necessary
for rice production. While rice does
not command high market prices
at the present time, it is a staple
of commerce, can be stored and held
and its culture here would un-
doubtedly effect an imp ovement or
reclamation of some If Imperial
