Questions and Answers


I Uould like to ask avhy cheese
cake drops or falls after baking?
Your method of baking is prob
ably the cause of your lack of sue
cess. Place your cake in the Gen.
ter of the oven and bake it at
temperature of 450 degrees for the
first ten minutes, then reduce the
heat to $50 degrees, and continue
to bake for 40 to 45 minutes.
Please tell me he correct lcuy to
eat chicken, bacon and celery.
Should any of them be eaten from
the fngers?
Chicken is properly not finger
food. Remove the meat from the
bone with the knife and fork.
Bacon, when very crisp, brittle
and dry, is sometimes eaten from
the fingers, otherwise fork is
used. Celery is a finger food. The
ends of the stalks may be dipped
in salt, if desired.
May / ask for suggestions for
refreshments to serUe at the meet
ing of a literary club 1ohen the
theme for the afternoon is Eng
Rsh?
For a small group, nothing could
be more typically English than
mullins, or crumpets, and tea. For
a larger group, tiny assorted sand
wiches, bread and butter English
style, shortbread or fiat cakes,
plum cake or pound cake, crystal
lized ginger and tea are suitable.
Do all chocolate cakes crack ON
top IN baking?
A chocolate cake that cracks on
top is baked at too high temper
ature, or contains too great pro-
portion of chocolate for the other
ingredients. Try reducing the
quantity of chocolate and see If
your cake will turn out better.
What is the difference betaUeem
black and green tea!
Black tea is fermented green
tea. Black tea derives its strength,
body and color of infusions from
the fermentation, which is an oxi-
dation process that develops the
tea aroma. Green tea is stronger
and more harsh than the mellow
fermented black tea.

mixtures on the market and IN an

4 sometimes find part can left
over. Is there any chance for thts
opeued portion to deteriorate, or
is it safe to use that portion later?
Prepared mixtures for cake or
biscuits may be opened, partially
used and if tightly covered, there
will be no harmful effects observed
in the batter.

when special Grand Jury will be
chosen to investigate reports of
graft in connection with a four.
million dollar Public Works Ad

United States Attorney Leslie c

The investigation will center
around activities of some eight
or ten men, contractors and Off

with negotiations for the con
tract to construct a canal in
Texas.
After the reports of graft
reached the ears of Public Works

BOOST LIKELY
IN FUNDS FOR
D.C.POL|CE
Protests Against Crime Here
Expected to Bring Action
BY Congress

Recent storms of protest raised
in the District against the increase
of crime here and the movements
to combat these criminal practices
are expected to bear fruit in the
form of increased appropriations
for the local police department, it
was indicated today.
Several members of the Senate
District Appropriations Commit
tee, which probably late this week
will start hearings on the District
appropriations measure, already
have expressed themselves as fav-
orable to making available more
funds for the local law preserving
department.
Sen. Copeland In Favor
One of these is Senator Royal
s. Copeland (DD, of New York,
who conducted Senate investiga.
ton of crime throughout the coun-
try, and who today asserted:
"By reason of the increase of
crime during the past year,
am heartily in favor Of taking
action to curb these practices.
/ shall do what can toward
voting sufficient funds to enable
an increase in the District police
force"
Senator Elmer Thomas (D), of
Oklahoma, chairman of the sub.
committee. always has taken a
friendly attitude toward the Ma.
tional Capital and, while he has
not committed himself on this
proposition, said:
I'm general, I want to see that
the District has enough funds
to maintain the operations neces-
sary for the proper functiOning
Of city government"
Will Plead for Funds
Not only is the Senate Commit
tee as a whole more liberal in its
attitude toward the District than
the House group, but various civic
and business organizations, be-
sides local government heads, will
plead with the committee for more
funds to combat the increasing
crime here.
Meanwhile, the House District
Subcommittee investigating crime
in the National Capital is develop.
ing considerable data which will
be available to the subcommittee
as a basis for voting more funds.
No doubt the witnesses appearing
before the committee will point to
the record and to the information
which is to be presented before
the House investigating subcom-
mittee to uphold their contention
that more money should be made
available for increasing the per.
sonnet and efficiency of the police
force.
With this, the Senate can vote
additional funds and the Senate
conferees can show good reason to
the House confereeS why these in.
creaSeS should be allowed.
