n EFERRING to q kind act as
N good turn Is popular idiom with
which we are all familiar. Doing
good turn" Is used not so much to de-
scribe a mere act of abstract kind
ness, something casual as helping an
old lady across the street, as 1t Is for
some effort or act that is done. more
or less deliberately, to advance the
interests of friend. AT least, on
analysis, that Is the way 1t is used
in our daily speech.
While we hope that doing good
turn will always be modern activ-
ity, the expression is by no means
modern. In fact 1t dates as far back
as 1872. being found In number 7Od

HERE'S CHAPTER
| ON FRIED PIES
Which Prompts Some Sugges-
tons About Doughnuts.
By EDITH M. BARBER

Dy EDll II WI. DAhDCA
Fried pies! Do you know themF
They caused lot of discussion on the
editorial pages while ago, and here
comes recipe from Louisville. KY,
which sounds luscious. Don't you
think so? Make pastry as for or
binary pies-howeyer, not quite so
short. Roll thin and cut out by an in
verified saucer.
"Have already stewed and sweet
ened to taste either dried or evaporat-
ed peaches or apples. eve always
preferred peaches.) Spread the fruit

half moon-pinch edges firmly togeth-
Grand fry in smoking hot country
lard, first on one side and then the
other, until golden brown. Place on
platter and sprinkle with sugar and
cinnamon while hot Not too mucn
cinnamon, however"
At our house we never had fried
pies but we did have fried bread
dough. Occasionally when the bread
was being made, my mother would
pull off some of the very light dough
in long slender pieces and fry 1t In
deep fat. 1t was then rolled in pow
dered sugar and served hot for
| luncheon dessert.
It was little like the raised dough
nuts which we ha' during Lent.
Raised doughnuts at our house ac-
cording to tradition were either made
into balls or twists which we called
"birds." To this day l cannot enjoy
| raised doughnut with hole In 1t
Plain doughnuts or fried cakes on the
contrary, must have holes, of course.
Crullers mean something still Differ
ent. They are made of rich dough
and are cut in three-fnger shapes Ii
you don't know what mean by that
consult the recipe given below.
Then there are french crullers,
which are made from a very soft
dough-almost batter and which
must be put through pastry bag oil
rectly into the hot fat.
There is another important point IN
regard to making all these fried cakes
successfully besides having the prop
er recipe. That is the matter Of fry
ing them. A hard vegetable fat OF
lard or cooking oil may be used
but the temperature Of whatever IA
YOU use is important. When lard II
used, we fry in it when it just begins
to smoke, but other fats should d
used below the smoking point. Tn
safest way to judge is by using ia
thermometer, but you can get alonl
without this If you try the fat by cook
ing cube of bread in it. 1t SHOULD
get golden brown in sixty seconds
when the thermometer should registe
375 degrees f. Because the doughnu
mixture is not cooked, it needs coole
fat than some other food.

q trout fisherman In the subway.
Trout are said to be caught in the
Bronx
A sweet-faced little girl was making
her way toilsomely across Broadway
on a pair Of crutches evidently a VIC
tim of infantile paralysis. AS she was
passing a big car, the rat-faced driver
grinned and suddenly sounded his
horn. The child collapsed in pa
thetic heap. AS plying hands picked
her up, a well-dressed, waspwaisted
young man shot his fist through the
open window of the car. It smacked
the grinning drivers face so hard his
hat flew up as If spring-propelled. The
driver yelled to high heaven. But the
traffic cop went deaf, dumb and blind.
A salute to him and to the quick listed
gentleman. And the Bronx cheer for

THOMAS SENDS
GOLD BILL To
ROOSEVELT
By international News Service

by international News Service
President Roosevelt was given
the choice today Of expanding
the American currency or facing
. monetary battle at the coming
session Of Congress.
Senator Thomas CD Of Okla
homa, brought the issue to q head
by drafting q bill prohibiting
private ownership Of gold. He
sent a copy to the White House
for the Presidents consideration.
In effect, the bill would enable
the Government to decrease the
value Of the gold dollar without
giving private individuals any
profit out Of the process.
Confident Of Expansion
Thomas declared he was con-
fident the President would
handle the money problem" In
dicating a belief the Administra-
ton would expand the currency.
He averred that If the President
fails to act, Congress will expand
the currency. He said:
81 am assuming the President
is going to handle the money
question. If he fails to do 50,
there Is only one other course
to be taken. The natural re-
suit of his failure would be for
the three money groups in Con-
gress to get together and enact
legislation to expand the cur
rency. They would have to
make their program mandatory
instead of discretionary, as was
the monetary legislation adopted
last summer"
Supplements Money Bill
The newest Thomas bill merely
would supplement the vast eXpan-
sion program approved by Con-
greSs last summer. In that pro-
gram, written by Thomas with the
aid of many others, Congress au-
thorized the President ID To re-
duce the gold content Of the dol
lar by so per cent; (2) To accept
silver on war debts, and 80 To
issue 100000 in Treasury notes
to pay off outstanding indebted
ness.
The new bill would take all gold
bullion and coin out Of circulation,
if, when and while the President
was revaluing the gold dollar.
Thomas explained:
EFT would give the Govern
ment the profit Of revaluing the
gold dollar instead Of letting
gold hOarders get the profit"
Crime To Keep Gold
The bill incidentally would make
it q crime to retain gold bullion
or gold coins, once the President
ordered them turned in to the
Treasury. Certain exceptions could
be authorized by the President.
All violators Of the order would
be subject to a $4,000 fine and
10 years imprisonment.

ANIMAL
LAW RAPED

Presidents in the neighborhood
Of First and Adams Streets North
west are preparing a petition to
be submitted to Congress asking
for abolition of the law which now
prevents the Animal Rescue
League disposing of ailing ami
mails without first finding the
owner.
The movement was prompted by
the discovery of a horse in agony
last Thursday at First and Adams
Streets Northwest,
According to Mrs. Henry D.
Berg, of the first block Bryant
st N. W., leader of the group spon-
soring the petition, the horse was
first seen at 8 o'clock in the morn
ing and was not disposed Of un-
til late in the afternoon. An eff
cial of the Animal Rescue League
explained they are not authorized
to kill or dispose Of an ailing ami
NAL without first obtaining per
mission Of the owner.
Branding the present law "asi-
nine and cruel" Mrs. Berg stated
that school children, passing the
dying horse three times that day,
became sick and in many cases
were not able to eat.

Captani Wise has taken a num-

Mothers Lead in Appeals

have received are from mothers.
Sometimes a child, usually an
older brother or sister, writes and
once in a while father. In the
latter case it is nearly always
some unfortunate father left to
play both father and mother to
his children by the death of the
latter.
They ask so little, these pitiful
mothers, children and fathers.
And never anything for them

3y MORRIS

I was out to the wood camp yesterday. Went up on the high land to see how the men were getting along cutting wood. Off to one side, I noticed little boy with a club in his hand, sitting by one of our big hem- locks, watching a hole under a root.
 Curiosity made me wander over to see what he was doing. As I came up I said, Morning son, what are you doing?" He answered, q am going to kill this groundhog, when he shows up. For you know this is the day he comes out of his hole" Any luck yet" I asked. oh yes," he answered. When I get this one and two more I will have three today"
 Then he started to tell me his plan to get rich. AS near as I can remember, it went some- thing like this: Mister, you have bunch of men here cut ting wood, and two trucks haul ing to town. You must be doing a lot of business and that is what I am going to do. I am going to get lot of boys to kill groundhogs for me; I can sell a lot of 'em. I will sell the big ones, two for a dollar, or thirty for fifteen dollars. The smaller ones, three for a dollar, or thirty for ten dollars. Which makes twenty-five dollars for sixty of 'em."
 "Yes, but what will you have to pay for them?" I asked. oh, the same" he said. But I fool 'em like this: You take big ones, two for a dollar; little ones, three for a dollar; makes five for two dollars. Five goes into sixty, twelve times, and two times that makes twenty four dollars, and you see I am a dollar to the good. Now, Mister, what do you think of that?"
