Among the tasks that women may well forget when 1t comes to cooking is the home baking, which takes much time and energy that could be more profitably employed. Every ono enjoys homemade bread and cake, of course, but now modern baking methods can hardly be improved upon. Deli cious little rolls may be had at al- most any local bakery, and when heated for a few moments in the oven they melt like butter in ones mouth. There are also light plain sponge cakes and spice cakes which can be cut and filled with a homemade filling of fruit and topped with whipped cream to give them distinct flavor.
 The habit of having to prepare meals several times over of an evening for members, of the family who eat separately is another practice which results in endless waste of energy. Sometimes this cannot be avoided, but wherever possible am greatly in favor of simplified service and the single meal which brings the family group together. It saves the
 housewife many needless warm ings of dishes for laggard individ- uals, and the meal that is eaten in common is generally more leis- urely than the solitary meal, so often hastily swallowed ~. a pernicious habit to which can be traced many cases of indigestion and skin conditions.
 There is the matter of Sunday dinner. to which the family look forward as a treat, but the prepa- ration of which is anything but a joy to the housewife, since 1t so frequently deprives her of Sunday outings and diversions.
 I think 1t is very good plan to have a light Sunday dinner every third week or so. A generous breakfast eaten around 9:30 or 10 Is likely to discourage big appe- tite at lunch time. Remember that a continuous round of heavy Sum day dinners, especially when fol- lowed by little or no exercise, overtaxes the system. Those who have tried the occasional lighten-l ing of the Sunday menus have found that, in addition to giving several extra hours of freedom it is extremely good for the digestive system and for the complexion, toe.

Do not be misled by the new methods of branding. Foods labelr ed "Below U. s. Standard. Low quality but not illegal" will be found among the most favorably branded goods in many grocery stores. Yet this does not imply un- fitness. The "below standard" rat ing may be given solely because of size, shape or flavor, while the purity and nutritional value of the food remains as high as that of any fancy quality food upon the shelf. Prices, however, should be cheaper for foods so labeled. and the wise housewife will watch this point closely. M
 Try not to correct or scold little children at the table or just before meals. Irritation, fear and excite ment interfere with proper diges- tion; laughter and happy chatter encourage slow eating and i'm proved assimilation.
 Have you a set of the new lap kins? Instead of the conventional square, manufacturers find that many women--and most men--pre- fer a dinner napkin about the size and shape of small guest towel. Modern linens show the lapkin in smart tinted linen woven in band ed patterns. Cloths to match, of course.
 If you will put them in an air tight jar (with a tight cap) you can peel and slice peaches to be used for dessert just before dinner is served, instead of at the last mo- ment. This will prevent disfigur- ing discoloration,

The wonderful grains which grew in the fertile valley, although important as food, did not take the place of milk. From the songs ot India, dating back as far as the Old Testament itself, we learn that the COW was declared to be mans greatest benefactor and milk was viewed as a symbol of nourish- ment. From these same songs we realize that butter and milk were consumed two thousand years be- fore Christ. As an offering to the

Disguise Carrots To Tempt
 The Children
By MARY HOPE NORRIS - Founder-Mothers' Radio Round Table

gratin are very good. Use tyto cups carrots to one cup string beans, and combine as for any au gratin dish.
 Carrots are very valuable indeed in the small child's diet. Teach your child to look upon them as a treat--not as something that must be eaten merely because it. is good for him. One clever young mother that I know has carried this idea to the point that her &C., tive, ever-hungry little four-year- old considers a plain boiled carrot as great a treat as apple. Her mother sometimes gives her a car- rot as an in-between meal snack after the busy play times that It, tie folks have at the sand pile, on the beach or in the park.
 Here is a recipe that little peo- pie are sure to like:
 Carfot Souffle
 To a cup of medium white sauce add a cup of cooked mashed car- rots and season to taste. Then add the beaten yolks of two eggs. Whip the whites of the eggs until they are stiff. Fold into the carrot mixture and turn into buttered baking dish. Set the dish in a pan of hot water and bake the souffle in a moderate oven (350 degrees to 400 degrees FL for 30 minutes. Serve at once in the dish in which 1t Is baked.
 Another delicious suggestion for children is this one for carrot dessert: The next time you make a lemon or orange gelatine, add a cup and half of raw grated carrot. Serve as usual with cream or sauce.

Having invested s6,600.oo0 in buy
ing the site for the original Municipal
Center group Of District buildings. the
local government is now in the posi-
ton of being land poor" Engineer
Commissioner Dan I. Sultan told the
Senate District Committee today at
the beginning of hearings on bill
that would lead to modification OF
the original elaborate program.
Col Sultan emphasized that. having
applied most of its surplus revenues
of few years ago to buying this
large site, which extends from Third
to Sixth streets. Pennsylvania to In
diana avenues, the District is without
funds now to 60 ahead with the build
ings on the scale contemplated by the
original program.
Authority to Borrow.
The pending bill would authorize
the Commissioners to borrow from
the Public Works Administration to
erect one or more buildings for the
so-called small courts-Police, Ju-
venile and Municipal-to be located
on Government-owned land in Judi
ciary Square, which is north of the
original Municipal Center site and
adjacent to District Supreme Court.
While this bill does not deal with
the use to be made of the old site,
it paves the way for modifying the
original Center program, and there
has been discussion of the advisibilty
Of allowing the District to dispose of
part of the site on the north side of
Pennsylvania avenue.
Sentiment Is Desired.
Chairman King of the Senate COM
mittee, pointed out he was opposed
from the start to the elaborate nature
of the original Municipal Center pro-
gram. He said however, he would like
to be sure local citizens are in favor
Of the proposed changes. Col. Sultan
said the Commissioners have con-
suited with various civic groups. in
cluding the Board Of Trade, and have
had no protests against the change
The committee was unable to go into
details today, and will meet at 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon to con-
tinue the hearing.
The only other action taken today
was to report out a bill. already
passed by the House, to define the
court procedure for conserving the
estates of absentees and absconders.
The committee turned over to Sem
ator Austin of Vermont the King
bill to define the qualifications of law
yers in the District, with authority
to report it after perfecing certain
amendments in conference with Cor
poration Counsel E. Barrett Pret-
lyman.

increased to protect the women of
Washington against these cowboys
and tinhorn sports" Capt. Milliken
added that an increase in personnel
and more stringent laws would enable
the Woman's Bureau to perform that
function.
Denies Rings Operate.
Capt. Milliken said there are no
white slave rings in Washington, but
there had been incidental cases of
white slavery involving girls who came
here from other cities looking for
work.
Randolph said he had received re-
ports that one group of white slavers
is importing girls from a mining Sec
ton of his own district in West Vir-
ginia.
In response to questions, Capt.
Milliken admitted the present $25 fine
or collateral imposed upon women
arrested for soliciting is too low.
She said these women consider $25
merely as a license fee and nearly all
had sufficient funds to pay the fines.
She declared a mandatory jail sentence
for chronic offenders might alleviate
existing conditions.
Representative Randolph asked her
why washington has been q mecca
for this type of woman?
Capt. Milliken said the condition Is
due to the fact that washington had
not been affected by the depression a.
seriously as some other cities.
Capt. Milliken told the COMMITTEES
the better class of hotels in WASH
ington are cooperating with her bu-
reau.
Both Chairman Randolph and Rep
resentative Schultz complimented
Capt. Milliken and said she had given
the committee more information than
any previous witness. If your su-
periors are as efficient as you," said
Schultz. I'VE would have less crime

Randolph declared as she left the
witness stand: "Your grasp Of your

Compromise Is Reached for
1900 in Former Pro.
hibition Bureau.
$50, However, FACE
LOSING OF POSITIONS
Employees Placed on Unusual
Status When Re.examina.
tions Were Demanded.

All Of the approximately 1900
Treasury employees who have been
working since December l without pay
because Of the McKellar rider would
receive their salaries, but after May
IS about $50 of them would go out Of
the service under a compromise plan
adopted today by the Senate Subcom-
mittee on the Treasury Post Office
appropriation bill.
The McKellar rider of last year
originally was intended to affect about
70G employees of the former Prohibi-
ton Bureau, who were called back
into the employment of the Treasury
Department after the abolition of the
Prohibition Bureau had left them
without jobs.
McKellar's rider provided that after
December no current appropriations
could be used to pay the salaries of
these agents unless they had passed a
new civil service examination, Nc
Kellar having questioned their civil
service status.
Others Go without Pay.
After Congress had adopted this
proviso last June. however, the con-
troller generals Office held that the
language Of the rider had the effect of
stopping also the pay of several hun
dred other employees.
Under the compromise these other
groups Of employees will receive the
back pay they have been deprived of
since December and will remain in
the service.
With respect to the TOO or more
who were affected by the original
controversy over Civil Service status,
the substance of the compromise Is
that all will receive their back pay
and remain at work until May Is,
but after that date, only those who
passed new Civil Service examina-
ton subsequent to last June will be
retained. It was estimated at the
Capitol today that about $50 would
remain under this compromise, leav-
ing about $50 or more who would be
dropped by May Is.
Fail in Re-examination.
When the McKellar rider passed
last year it was contended on behalf
OF these TOO employees that they al
ready had Civil Service status, and
for that reason some of them declined
to take the new examination required
by the rider. A considerable number
OF those who took it failed. In re-
cent hearings before the Senate Sub
committee there was some discussion
Of the nature Of this examination, as
to whether the questions related to
the work to be performed.
After the examination was held last
Fall. the Treasury Department de-
cided that enforcement of the liquor
laws would collapse If these trained
workers who had not passed the new
examination were dropped and re-
placed by inexperienced men who had
passed the civil service test. Attorney
General Cummings held that the old
employees could be allowed to con-
tinue at work If they so desired and
trust to Congress to settle the pay
question. The decision of the sub
committee today will go before the
entire Appropriations Committee, and
later to the Senate.
