glace. Some of these recipes are
elabor re, entailing hours of labor.
Others are more simple, as in
the following-if there is any
thing simple in the preparation
Of daube.
4 lbs. beef round
2 calves feet
veal kriuckle
l teaspoon whole cloves
bay leaf
l thinly-sliced carrot
l teaspoon whole pepper
2 thinly-sliced onions
S sprigs thyme
cloves garlic
Vinegar
Salt
Soak the beef round overnight
in vinegar enough to cover, with
the bay leaf, thyme, cloves, whole
pepper, garlic. onion and carrot.
Soaking the meat in this manner
gives it a blended flavor. The
next day boil the calves feet and
veal knuckles in 3la quarts of
water until the meat leaves the
bone. Strain and put aside for
future use.
Pour the vinegar off the meat
and in a deep iron pot fry the
beef in hot lard until brown on
each side. Add the vinegar prep
aration to the prepared stock and
pour over the meat in the pot.
Season highly with salt, pepper
and cayenne. Allow it to sim
mer for 212 hours or more or I'm
til tender. Dissolve 2 tablespoons
of gelatine in a little cold water.
Strain the hot liquor in which
the daube is cooked and add
gelatin to it. The liquor should
be cooked down to about a quart
no more. Put the daube in a
mold, pour the liquor over it and
let it CONCEAL. When cold serve
in slices with garniShes of sliced
egg and sprigs of parsley. Some
cooks put the daube in individual
molds, rather than one large
mold.

Famous Authority on Prob
lens of Love and Marriage
Dear Miss Fairfax:
my Fate ~ and I had
known each other for a good
many years. Everyone back
home thought we were en-
gagged, but we weren't, really.
Then he got a Government job
and urged me to come to Wash
ington and marry him.
81 wanted q nice home wedding,
with my friends present, and 1
was silly enough to desire white
dress and veil and all the things
that 90 with the one great coca
sion in q girls life.
But Jim -..-Ould have none Of 1t.
He told me to come at q certain
time, and 1 went with not q mo-
nent'S notice even to elect q trOus-
Seau, We were married by q GER
tain Judge in a dingy courtroom
and went to chain restaurant for
our wedding supper. 1t was all
grim, without q hint Of romance.
Someone in the same depart
ment had been sent to another
city, and Jim secured his flat for
a couple of months. That's the
only suggestion of q home I've
ever had.
"When the friend returned, Jim
took a furnished room in a ghaSt-
" roOming house, and we take our
meals sitting on stools facing the
soda counter Of a drugstore. or
something like that.
81 hate 1t. I'm domestic, know
low to keep house perfectly, and
would adore to have a baby, but
Jim has no interest in anything
but his weekly game of poker with
his masculine friends, and hike
with them over the fields and far
away Of a Sunday.
"When he comes back he tells
me calmly that he's had his sup
per and hands out Is cents for
me to go to the neighbOrhOOd

treatment, and this hideOus way of
living. for another year. / want
to go home, back to my own
people, and forget some Of the
frightfulIy. disilluSiOning expert
. enceS have been through.
"I'm a high school graduate, and
think could earn enough money
to keep myself and my self-respect,
which is out Of the question IL i
continue to live this way.
"The trouble is, Jim is a natural
bachelor; he has no interest in
marriage. or a wife. And when /
tell him this he says: Well, why
the-were you always trying
70 marry me?'
"DISGUsTED."
I do not wonder at your sigma
ture. my dear girl. Women marry
for companionship, home, love and
children, and none of these things
has your bachelor husband been
willing to provide.
Doubtless, this gentleman labors
under the delusion that he's a
model husband because he pays
the rent for the furnished room
and doesn't let you starve.
But he's not playing the game
fairly. and I hope he will turn,
over a new leaf. Meantime. why
not regard this furnished room
as a roof, and the drugstore
deicacies as sufficient to keep
body and soul together? Go to
night school and take advantage
of some of the courses open to
you, and become self-supporting.
Your letter, which was so witty
that didn't dare to print all
of it, shows you have plenty of
natural intelligence.

District works project, is expected to
be started in about two weeks. William

officials said it is probable individ-
ual log cabins will be built for each
one of the children to be assigned

been reached. Some are urging devel-

ing, but works officials doubt If this
can be done under the authorization
to spend $4,000 for the project.

Bruce. who brought his family to
Washington in 1882, is a native OF
Charlottesville, but had travelled about
the country seeking work after the
depression started He saved some
money in the hope Of building home.
and lived in a trailer on Alabama
avenue for two years in order to save
more. He got jobs with the P w. A.
and the w. p A, and finally had
enough cash to start his home.
1t took him. with the help of an
other carpenter. four months to build
the three room house. 1t was COM
pleted early in January and he trans
ferred his family from the trailer.
Then his wife became i'll and he was
forced. TO take her to Virginia for
treatment. He left home Friday morn
ing and the children stayed with rela-
tives in Alexandria. while he and his
wife continued to the University Hos
pital in Charlottesville.
Bruce, a husky, independent type OF
person, told how he carried the mate
rials for his house half mile because
he couldn't use the road. Since his
family moved in he has been carrying
water for their use quarters of a
mile, as he has been unable to dig a
well.
Il built that house myself and ]
built it we'll" Bruce continued, sadly.
Now it's ashes and I don't know
whether We will ever have another

Though Dennison and other neigh
bors offered to give his family place
to stay Bruce refused and said he
would either spend the night with
relatives or find a room" Just as
he prepared to leave the two older
children, Billy and Reggy, who had
gone out to find trace of the dog and
cat they left at the house, dashed in

Decision on W. R. T. Buy

Expert Differs Widely on True
Worth of Lines Desired by
Capital Transit.

Rejection by the Public Utilities
Commission of the proposal of the
Capital Transit Co. to pay S539623
for the stock and debts of the Wash
tngton Rapid Transit Co. was lndl-
Gated yesterday.
Formal announcement of its deci-
sion is expected this week. The COM
mission has been considering evidence
taken at the recent hearings and re-
ports filed by the company. the peo-
pies counsel, William A. Roberts, ana
Commission Chief Engineer FREQ A.
Sager and Commission Accountant
Byars NICK. Bachman.
Commission members have made no
statement of what their decision Will
be, but it is reported they will find the
proposed price too high as talr
value for the properties and business
of the Sixteenth street bus lines as
represented by the proposed STOCK
purchase.
The commission may indicate in It's
order the basis on which 1t would oe
inclined to approve consolidation OF

North American Co., a holding cor
poration.
There was wide difference between
experts who testified at the recent
hearings as to the present value of the
w. r. T. A company witness, Ed
ward Roberts, New York engineer,
placed the value at S623665. Com
mission Chief Engineer Fred A. Sager
said the reproduction value, less
depreciation, was S325.336. Commits
sion Accountant ByerS NICK. Bach
man, on the basis of an accounting
study, said the value was S300,246. A
commission consultant, Henry j.
Saunders, said the value was no more
than $4,000
In 1884 the street car company pro-
posed to pay $843,0oO for the stock
and debts of the w. R. T, and that
offer was rejected by the commission.
An appeal was taken to the court, but
the company later abandoned that
move. The reduced offer was the re-
suit of later negotiations.

self even on the necessities of life so
he might build home for his family.
Then. early yesterday. while he was
away seeking treatment for his sick
wife. his new house at 700 Atlantic
street southeast burned to the ground.
With his wife and five young chill
dren Bruce returned last night un-
awar of his loss. There was gayety
in the family when he stopped his old
car in front of neighbor's house for
a chat before going home. The two
older children. Billy, II, and Reggy, 8,
were laughing and playing The
younger ones were getting a bit
drowsy, but Bruce wanted to tell his
neighbor, w. A. Dennison, that the
doctor in Charlottesville. Va. had pre-
scribed medicine for his wife which
he thought would cure her heart"
Dennison invited Bruce in, and said
he had something to tell him." but
the latter said he guessed he'd 90 on
home and put the children to bed.
Then Dennison said: There's no use
going up there, Bruce. your house
burned down last night"
Bruce seemed stunned, and was
unable at first to realize what his
neighbor meant. His wife collapsed
in the doorway of the Dennison home,
and their youngest child, Wayne, 20
months, awoke and started to cry.
Bruce and his family listened quietly
while Dennison told the details Of the
fire. He told them the house and all
its contents had been destroyed be-
cause fire apparatus had been unable
to climb muddy hill to reach the
fire. The Bruce home was located on
an isolated hill in Washington High
lands, and the road leading to it is
impaSSable.
