Hotel Employs Workers

NEW YORK. AMP 1.-The huge
Hotel Manger, built in conjunction
with the magnificent Roxy Theatre
at 50th Street and Seventh Avenue,
recently changed ownership and
name, now being known as the Hotel
Taft One of the first moves of the
new management was to replace the
white elevator operators with col

be followed in other service depart
ments if this experiment proves sue
cessful. This is the first big hotel
in central Manhattan to utilize col
ored employees in the service de-

TAX REBELLION
THROWING U. S,
CITIES in RED
DWindling Revenues Peril
municipalities With
Bankruptcy.
By United Press

By United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-An aroused
citizenry is in far-ung rebellion
against heavy tax burdens with the
result, United Press survey showed
today, that the financial problem
Of many cities has become acute.
Meanwhile rural residents sue
cessfully have demanded reduced
government expenses and have
lightened their taxes in several
districts.
The drive for reduced municipal
expenditures is complicated by a
desire in many cities to maintain
expenditures to aid employment and
business.
New York Budget Stands
The situation is most critical. it
was revealed, in several of the ma
tons largest cities, including Chi
.cago and Philadelphia. In New
York an unprecedented but un-
successful attack by citizens and
newspapers was made on the 1882
budget of $631 100000, largest in
history.
The widely publicized conditions
in Chicago and Cook county have
resulted largely from an organized
taxpayers strike and attack throug&
the courts on the legality of tax
assessments. Excessive eXpendi-
-tures by previous city administra-
.tions also are charged.
- In Philadelphia, violent protests
by taxpayers prevented a 35 per
cent tax increase. The 1881 rate
remains for 1882. AS a result, SIS
100000 must be cut from the city
budget.
Detroit Returns Slump
& Heavy borrowing has enabled
Detroit to pay all employees thus
far, but sharp reductions in tax
collections may force a cut in fire,
police and school staffs, reduced
pay and laying off of 1000 employees.
:, Denver citizens have rebelled
against a 20 per cent reduction by
the state BOARD of equalization of
farm lands tax valuations while cut
ting city values only per cent.
- Two New York cities face serious
difficulties. Elmire is unable to pay
municipal salaries and has been
forced to borrow to pay teachers.
The city hopes the state legislature
will authorize bonds to meet salaries
and bills.
~ Atlanta Goes Broke
Geneva, N. Y, is without funds
after borrowing to the legal limit.
Banks refuse to accept city pay
checks. Syracuse, N. Y, has dis
missed all women city employees with
wage-earning husbands and asked
employees to accept a 10 per cent
pay cut.
( Atlanta, unable to take up $780,
900 in temporary loans due this
gnonth, will pay no salaries or bills
in December. A sharp cut in the
1882 budget will meet the deficit.

IN DISPUTE ON
SCHOOL FEES
Pending Council Ordinance
to Settle Township
Education Row.

Settlement of a dispute over
transfers that has disturbed both
pupils and parents Of Perry town
ship school No. 4, today was post
poned until after the holidays.
Outcome of an ordinance asking
annexation of the school to the city,
introduced to the city council Mon
day night, will settle the dispute.
The school city would be forced
to purchase the school, if annexed.
Action by the council probably will
be taken at its meeting after the
holidays.
Refused to Pay City
The dispute arose when Trustee
Omer Green refused to pay the
city $94 each for transferring
thirty-nine township pupils to city
school No. 70, Troy and Carson ave-
nue.. The school city in turn threat
ented to withdraw 179 University
Heights pupils from the township
school.
1IllS leo property owners ana
residents of University Heights to
petition for the schools annexation.
In event of annexation, the town
ship probably would be forced to
build another school building to
house more than 300 township pupils
now attending the school.
Causes POstpOnement
Objections from several property
owners caused the council to post
pone action on a measure rezoning
Shelby street, from Bradbury street
to Conner avenue, for business.
An ordinance asking an appropria-
ton of $4,000 to buy pickupssweep-
er for the street commissioner de-
partment was withdrawn.
Three other ordinances, one pro-
viding loading zones, another ap-
preparation of $3,432.51 for the Mu-
nicipal airport and another chang
ing the name of historic Pratt street
to Ninth street were passed by the
council.
This street originally was named
after julius Pratt, prominent citizen
in the early days of the city. Names
of fifteen other streets were
changed for short distances.

some sort. You can use butter, butter
substitute, lard or one of the lard SUBJ

And you can. use a variable amount of
fat, from two heaping tablespoonfuls
to almost a cupful of sugar. Salt, too,
must be used according to taste. A
couple of level teaspoonfuls may be
about right.

BY SALLY MONROE.

THERE'S a lot to be said on both
L sides, for and against, homemade
bread.
Against it is the big, outstanding fact
that it takes time. You can buy good
bread, wholesome bread, ready made.
Why spend your time and energy a
couple of times week making it?
Now, of course, unless you make very
good bread there is just no use on earth
making it at home. Fer store bread is
SO good that it beats any but the best
homemade bread. But If you like to
make bread, and If you make good
bread. and if you have plenty of time,
then it is certainly good plan to make
it, at least occasionally. 1t gives
welcome and pleasant change.
Just remember, don't attempt home
made bread unless you are quite sure
of doing the job we'll. Poor bread made
at home is so much worse than the
least tempting of the store breads that
it lust isn't worth while. The store
breads have the advantage, OF course,
of being standardized. They are always
the same, always come up to their own
level and standard. And that Is much
more than you can say about home
made bread.
The bread mixer has made the task
of producing bread comparatively easy
one. The old-fashioned hand method,
involving much kneading and mixing,
was a difficult one. 1t really took a
great deal Of strength.
Moreover, the mixer is an absolutely
clean and sanitary method of making
bread. The fingers need to touch the
dough at only one stage of the whole
process, and then hardly at all; that is,
when you form the bread into leaves.
Then q little patting with the fingers
makes the task easier. But you can
use Toured forks and knives and pad
dies for this process if you prefer.
otherwise it is never necessary TO touch
the bread from beginning to end of the
making.
You can have a great deal of variety
by making rolls of various sorts. A good
rule for bread making in the mixer is
to allow one quart of liquid to three of
-four, measured after it is sifted. OF
course, as every experienced bread
maker knots, the amount Of -four
needed Is variable, as some -four takes
up more liquid than others. A little
experimenting will determine the right
amount of flour. You can tell by the
look and feel Of the dough.
Scald the liquid and pour all but a

Their advantage because 1t may well
serve as the principal dish on break
