 INDIVIDUAL CHICKEN PIE
 Ingredients for Dough
 2 cups of sifted flour
 ; tablespoons of lard
 5 tablespoons of butter
 2-3 teaspoons of salt
 and ice water
 Preparation of Dough
 Work salt and lard into flour and moisten with just enough ice water to form dough. Chill, next roll into three-cornered piece. Chill butter and press to one-half the size of rolled dough, and place in center of dough. Fold dough toward cen- ter. Fold once more and set to chill again. Roll a little thicker than for pies and cut into rounds six inches across. Form into square cups by bringing up the edges, moistening a little with ice water and pinching into shape. Cut square of pastry for each top about two and one half inches across.
 Chicken Pie Filling
 Remove skin and cut chicken into small pieces, but do not re- move bones. Just cover with boil- ing water and simmer till chicken will cleave from bones, adding salt twenty minutes before chicken is done. Remove chicken from liquor and bone. Cut into inch pieces. Reduce liquor to one and one half cups by simmering and season with salt and pepper. MIX 6 tablespoons of flour with a little cold water and slowly add to boil ing liquor. Cook five minutes and add chicken and cook very slowly fifteen minutes longer. It should be quite thick when done. .>
 Bake pastry cups and squares to rich brown and fill with the chicken. Place the square on top and garnish center with a cube of jelly.

Rock Creek Pollution.

Rock Greek Park is one of the most
beautiful city parks in the world and its
chief adornment is Rock Greek. But
Rock Creek is so polluted by sewage
that even wading in its sparkling waters
is dangerous and, from time to time, has
been prevented by the police on the ad-
vice of health authorities. That such
a condition should be indefinitely con-
tinued is unthinkable and when steps
are taken toward the full recreational
use of Rock Greek it will be good news.
Such good news is contained in the rec
concentrations of the Commissioners last
week for Public Works Administration
grant and loan for the construction OF
two sewers in the tributary Luzon and
Klingle valleys, which would remove a
part of the existing pollution.
The recommendations are doubly in
teresting because they follow the COM
pletion of an engineering survey ordered
by Secretary Ickes last Winter, to de-
termine the necessary steps and the
ultimate cost of purifying Rock Greek.
The results of the study have not been
made public. But it is improbable that
the Commissioners would have made
their recommendation for the projects

at last appear safe from extinction. A
few years ago their total number was
estimated at about so. Since they have
been given sanctuary from the guns
of the hunters they have increased to
200. On the other hand, it was found,
some of the rarer African animals enjoy
little protection. Thus the white-tailed
gnus are now preserved only on a few
limited reservations set up by some
wealthy South African farmers.

At one time one of the most abundant

On the other side of the world efforts
are being made to have the government
of Ecuador set aside wild life preserves
on the Galapagos Islands. isolated home
of some of the worlds most curious cre-
atures and paradise for scientists inter-
ested in natural history. Among the
creatures to be given haven in such
preserve would be the giant Galapagos
turtles, Oldest of all animals. Many of
the rare geological species in the Galap-
agoS were made famous by the visit of
Charles Darwin on the famous cruise of
Beagle and it was there he formulated
some of the ideas which later led to
the theory of evolution.
