ROTARY AIMS GUESTS OF HONOR AT
DINNER GIVEN BY LOCAL CLUB

Ladies Night. considered the
highlight in the social calendar, was
observed last night at the Barbara
Worth hotel by the El Centre Ro-
tary club, delightful program be-
ing presented by the Rotarians with
the able assistance of the Rotary
AIMS.
For that matter the palm might
well be awarded to the latter, for
they very cleverly stole the program
when they "Shanghaied' President
Ray Edgar IN the lobby of the hotel
prior to the opening Of the meet
ing.
When the diners assembled it was
to find Mrs. Mildred Kutz installed
as chairman, with Mrs. Mary Brock
acting as sergeant at arms, Mrs.
Carrie Sones as secretary and Mrs.
Marian Osborne as song leader.
The SotarianS soon learned
that the Rotary AIMS meant busi-
ness, also pleasure, and that they
are thoroughly familiar with the
Rotary method of conducting meet
ings, with particular attention be-
ing paid to the assessment of fines
And when they fined-they fined
and made it stick, literally and fig
uratively, the sergeant at arms be-
ing equipped with an efficient fork,
which she used.
During dinner Mrs. Osborne
proved her ability as song leader
while the secretary was every bit as
efficient as the clubs regular Sec
retary, Percie Thacker.
Two numbers by quartette COM
posed of Mrs. w. w. McEuen, Mrs.
P. a. Murray. Ray johnson and
DR.. Warren Fox and group OF
solos by Mrs. Murray, provided en-
tertainment during dinner. Mrs.
Estelle Livingston, the club pianiste,
acted as accompanist.
Bouquets were presented to two
Rotary Ann brides, Mrs. Mercedes
Robinson and Mrs. Kathryn Greene,
who with their lesser halves were
escorted to places of honor at the
speakers table.
A charge" to a group of new Ro-
tary AIMS, being a clever burlesque
on the regular charge to new Rotar-
ians. was delivered effectively and
humorously by Mrs. Edith Brad
shaw, after which the president of
the club was permitted to assume
his gavel.
Jim Brock brought grins and
chuckles to the group by a clever
speech in which various RotarianS
were identified by their peculiar
mannerisms without being named
and Johnny Donohue gave graph
ic illustration of Ray Edgar trying
to hit q golf ball
Excellent Talk On Boys
Following dinner the Rotarians
and Rotary AIMS listened to an ex-
cellent discourse on boys by DR..
George P. Shidler, of Torrance,
classmate at Nebraska university OF
o. C. Horne. past president of the
club, who acted as chairman Of the
meeting.

CERTAIN varieties of cake will
" keep moist and palatable until
the last crumb disappears. but
others, particularly sponge cakes
and plain white cakes, become
dry and quite undesirable the Sec
ond day after they are baked
There are many really delicious
desserts that can be made with
stale cake if the cook uses a little
ingenuity A light cake which is
very dry can be crumbled, soaked
in milk until soft and then COM
bined with eggs 10 make a very
acceptable pudding. The proce.
dnre is almost identical with that
for a bread pudding. though care
must be taken not TO make il too
sweet when cake crumbs are used
Plain cake which is not dry
enough for crumbing. but has lost
its freshness, can be cut in pieces
for serving and steamed until hot
and moist Serve with a LIQUID
sauce and garnish with whipped
cream if convenient.
Mock tipsy pudding is light
and delectable dessert made with
stale sponge cake or lady fingers.
Cut sponge cake in thin, narrow
slices and spread with any kind
OF jam or preserves Peach or ap-
rieot is very good. Arrange in
layers in a deep dish and pour over
two cups of thin boiled custard.
Let stand over night or for several
hours until the cake absorbs the
custard. Serve very cold with
whipped cream. The custard
should be very slightly sweetened
since the cake and jam both are
sweet

CLUBMEN SCORED
IN LIQUOR RAIDS
Philadelphia Official Charges
Burden of Blame Shifted
to Employees.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PHILADELPHIA, February 27.-Lem-
uel B. Schofield, director of public
safety today criticized highly respect
phia clubs who violate the liquor law
in these places and then permit club
employees to take the punishment"
The director made this criticism while
testifying at the hearing of John Trie-
bel steward of the exclusive Philadel-
phia Club, raided yesterday Triebel
was held in $500 bail for court. 1t Is
alleged more than 400 bottles of liquor
were found in the club. The raid fol-
lowed that on the wealthy Manufac-
turers' Club earlier in the day when
255 bottles of wines and liquors were
seized in lockers.
The hearing was brief and no men,
bers of the Philadelphia Club were
present.
The policeman who led the raiders
into the Philadelphia Club, testified he
saw a man whom he knew to be g
bootlegger, enter the club with a suit
case, and also observed members car
rying Satchels in and out of the place.
I'VE found one cocktail on the bar
when We entered" he said, all the in
gradients and utensils for mixing
drinks"
The witness said they found liquor
in 155 of 1875 lockers on the third floor
of the club
1.-THE Police Department realizes
that this liquor did not belong to the
defendant" said Director Schofield.
''It is club of renowned prominence,
the members occupying high positions
Obviously these men are allowing this
man, an employee to come and assume
the responsibility in this fragrant viola
ton.
1T is a pure case of unsportsman-
ship, and the Police Department ex-
poets to ascertain who owned the
liquor in these lockers and ask for
warrants. -''-'-.
THE law must be enforced against
such establishments just as well as it
is against speakeasy on corner. 1t
is a sad condition of affairs when emf

WOULD AMEND GAS
TRANSMISSION LAW
Annapolis Hearing Discloses Com
pany Not Subject to Public
Service Board.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ANNAPOLIS, February 27.-Testify-
ing before the Senate Committee on Ju-
dicial Proceedings, Peoples Counsel
John H. Levin admitted yesterday that
no legislation enacted at this session
of the Legislature can hinder the Mary
land Gas Transmission Corporation in
condemning properties for its pipe line
through the State.
The right of eminent domain was
given to the corporation under the ex-
listing law. Mr.. Levin pointed out, and
the company was spared from the super
vision of the Public Service Commission
by ruling of William Cabell Bruce,
the commissions general counsel, who
held that the corporation was engaged
solely in interstate commerce and not
in the local sale of gas.
Mr.. Levin, with Senator David G..
Mcintosh of Baltimore County and for
mer Peoples Counsel Thomas j. Tingley,
advocated a change in the law to re-
quire all such companies in the future
to submit to Public Service Commission
regulation before they can gain the
right to condemnation.
Several amendments agreed to by
Senator Mcintosh to a bill he intro
duced earlier in the session along this
line were submitted by Mr. Levin No
dCLlO1 Was Ldken by Tie committee,
however, but a favorable report at a
later date was indicated by several of
the members.
The company is engaged In piping
natural gas from the West Virginia
fields to the District of Columbia and
Pennsylvania, 1t was said. In addition,
Mr.. Levin commended that it Is pre-
pared to sell natural gas to persons
along the right of way in Howard,
Baltimore and Hartford Counties through
independent distributing companies set
up by the transmission corporation
This expedient, Mr.. Levin said, resulted
In the Bruce decisions that the company
Is legally engaged in an interstate
wholesale and national business, and
not local.

NIT the question to a referendum in the

NIT the question to a referendum in the
next town election.
This was decided late yesterday fol-
lowing a three-hour conference between
Councilman Floyd B. Matthias, Corpora
ton Counsel Bird H. Dolby and the
Prince Georges County delegates when
a proposed bill authorizing payment of
a yearly salary of 5000 to the mayor
and $125 to each councilman, but con-
tanning no provision for referendum,
was submitted by the town officials.
Three other proposed bills affecting
the town were approved by the dele
gates and will probably be introduced
today, while a fourth was taken under
advisement and will be given a hear
ing before decision is reached.
In regard to the referendum, the
legislators took the position that, be-
cause of the large number of incor-
porated towns in the county, and the
precedent involved in paying salaries to
the mayor and councilmen, they were
unwilling to authorize such a step
without a referendum. They pointed
out that similar measure affecting
