FIRE OFFICER BARS
RECEIVING HOME
IN COURT BUILDING
LAUDER Rules He Could Not
Approve Old Structures
Use for Residence.
HAZEN TO SEEK FUNDS
FOR NEW QUARTERS
Marshars Refusal Meanwhile
Throws Transfer Plans Into
State of Confusion.
BY DON S. WARREN,

Plans for the make-shift housing
OF the Receiving Home for Children
In the old Police Court Building were
thrown into further state of con-
fusion today when it was revealed that
Fire Marshal Calvin G. LAUDER has
ruled that he could not approve use
of the old structure for residential
purposes.
Transfer of the wards at the Re-
ceiving Home. as we'll as the inmates
OF the House of Detention, to the old
Police Court Building. has been
planned" as result of decisions of
Congress in action on the next years
District appropriation bill.
Already dismayed by the prospects
OF having to find temporary new quar-
ters for the new agency. Commissioner
Hazen announced that the fire marshal
had advised him informally that he
could not, under the fire regulations.
approve the housing of the child wards
IN the old Police Court Building at
Sixth and D streets NV The fire
marshal is expected to be requested
Tor formal ruling later.
New Building Sought.
Mr.. HaZen also said he would re-
quest the Commissioners to consider
q proposed appropriation for the con-
structlon OF new building to house
the Receiving Home when they COM
pile. during the coming summer. their
budgetary estimates for the fiscal year
1899.
The statement of the Commissioner
was made after he had received
another protest against the plan to
put the Receiving Home children in
the old Police Court Building, where
1t is also proposed to place the
Woman's Bureau of the Police De-
partment and the House of Detention,
which the bureau operates. This came
from the First Ward Citizens Asso-
ciation.
Under the supply bill as passed, the
appropriations for rent of the present
housing of the Receiving Home, at
Eighth street and Potomac avenue
Sc, will cease next December 81,
forcing provision OF quarters else
where.
Confusion Exists.
While 1t had been understood that
Its wards must be transferred to the
old Police Court Building, District Of
ficials who studied the language of the
act said today there was no binding
requirement on the Commissioners to
do that.
However, there was still some con.
fusion about it because Congress pro-
vided an appropriation of $4,000 for
the reconditioning of the old court
building. On top of this, some District
building experts insist $4,000 will not
be nearly enough to make the building
suitable for either the Receiving Home
wards or the prisoners of the Woman's
Bureau or for both.
Commissioner. Hazen suggested that
the Commissioners might seek one or
both of the agencies in some other I'M
used District structure, if one can be
found that could conceivably be made
available. He said one suggestion was
that the Receiving Home wards be
placed temporarily in the now vacant
old tuberculosis Hospital at Four
teenth and Upshur streets NV.

Caramel Pudding Popular

Milk-made buildings rank high in the list of dessert "favorites," for even though they're nourishing they have a delicacy that makes them a fitting end for any meal. Carmel pecan pudding is particularly ap- pealing and is most attractive mold ed in large ring and garnished with toasted pecan halves. Gro make 1t even more partyish, serve in in- dividual molds with a sprinkling of chopped nuts on top)
 The intriguing caramel flavor of this pudding is produced by cara melizing part of the sugar. Con- trary to popular belief, there's no trdiick to caramelizing sugar. The important thing is to see that every grain of sugar IS melted before you add the water.
 Caramel Pecan Pudding
 Ia cup sugar caramelized 2 cups boiling water
 5 tbsp. cornstarch
 1-2 cup sugar
 Ia tsp. salt
 2 cups irradiated evaporated milk 1-2 cup oceans, chopped
 1-2 tsp. vanilla
 Caramelize 1-2 cup sugar by heat ing slowly in skillet or shallow saucepan until completely melted. Stir as little as possible. Add water slowly and boil until no Jumps re- main. Mix cornstarch, 1-2 cup sugar and salt. Add milk little at time, stirring to blend well. Stir in the caramel syrup. Cook over boiling water until thickened, stir ring frequently. Cover and cook IS minutes longer. Remove from heat, add vanilla and nuts and pour into molds that have been rinsed with cold water. Yield: 8 to 10 servings.
 Caramel pecan pudding is not only good but good for you. By using irradiated evaporated milk in its preparation it Is possible to in- corporate a large amount of whole milk nutrients in combination with the needed sunshine vitamin D. What finer way to serve the family part of its needed milk quota than in caramel pecan pudding!

Now Easy to Make Milk Into Dessert

Milk is healthful. Children in par ticular need it daily. But many chill dren are "fussy little eaters" and mothers find it difficult to make them drink even a glass of milk.
 Why not furnish milk in dessert form? The child who will refuse a dessert is seldom found. Rennet- custards, made without eggs, with out baking and without boiling - this is an excellent tip for the mother who wishes to serve milk in dessert form.
 Graham Nut Rennet- Custard
 1 package orange rennet powder
 pint milk
 1-4 cup finely ground graham
 cracker crumbs
 IA cup finely chopped nuts
 In the bottom of each dessert dish place a heaping teaspoon of ground cracker crumbs and 8 heaping tea spoon of chopped nuts. Make ren- net-custard according to directions on package, and pour over cracker crumbs and units.

(BY BEATRICE HALL)

Euncheons often present 8 prob lem in the daily meal plan. Usually the other wto meals of the day follow definite meal pattern while lunch may vary to large extent.
 Lunches composed mostly of vege- tables are always popular for they can be attractively served and tasty. Incidentally, they are often less fat tening than heartier lunches con- taining meat.
 Two luncheon menus combining eeasonable vegetables in tempt ing array are suggested. One con- sists of buttered brussels sprouts, apple sauce, buttered carrots, creamed green beans, whole wheat bread and butter, with butterscotch pudding for dessert.
 Another vegetable days luncheon of stuffed onions, yellow turnips, mashed potatoes, sliced tomatoes, whole grain bread and butter and itapioc, cream for dessert. eHre is a delicious recipe for stuffed onions Wash and peel four onions. Cook for ten minutes in boiling water, and rinse with cold water to make them firm. Push out the centers. Place onions in well-buttered bak- ing dish and fill each onion with stuffing made of: 1-2 cup bread crumbs, l tablespoon tomao pulp, 1 tablespoon butter, teaspoon chopped parsley, 1 tablespoon chopped pimiento, 1-2 teaspoon salt, egg yolk, 1-4 cup cooked celery. Cook together for one minute. Pour over the stuffed onions cream sauce sauce made by melting two tablespoons butter, adding 2 table spoons of flour, 1-4 teaspoon salt, 1-6 teaspoon paprika, blending to- gether and adding l cup milk.
 Remember the French secret of cooking vegetables-that is, really cooking some butter into them be- fore removing from the stove. This gives added flavor to any and every vegetable.
 Another dish which is pleasant to use in a vegetable plate or with meat is string beans in horseradish sauce. The recipe is given here. String Beans in HOrseradish Sauce { tbsp. butter
 2 tbsp. minced onion
 ( tbsp, flour

A New Way With Roast
 Duck.

Say Roast Duck" to almost any man and his eyes will twinkle. The high, spicy seasoning used in the stuffing of duck pleases them, and even though the birdl be domestic fellow who has never known the call of the woods, he somehow con- trives to invest the meal with romance and the flavor of hunting. Plain roast duck will be perfectly acceptable; but more so this recipe for duck with certain vegetables which wive it a delicious flavor:
 Roast Duck With Vegetables
 The Duck
 3 spears celery
 4 carrots
 2 large tomatoes
 3 Spanish onions
 Duck fat
 Seasoning
 Peel and slice the onions and the

other vegetables; place a layer of onions on the bottom of the roast- ing pan, the remaining vegetables in another layer, the raw fat of the duck over this and the duck on top of all. Add four cups of water and roast in the oven until the duck is done. Remove the duck to a hot platter, lift the vegetables out of the juice or gravy with 8 strainer and serve as scalloped vegetable, if desired. Strain and make gravy of the liquor left in the pan. Serve with Drowned mashed potatoes.
 A good salad with this menu is endive and watercress with 8 chut- ney dressing, nice dessert would be steamed persiInmon pudding with a brandy sauce, using the meaty Japanese persimmons which are at their best now in the market.

A POPNN1A1 k'S~~S v ages from 2 to 90.
 The eternal question: Will it pop?" has been supplanted by the affirmation that 1t will . . If you know your corn. Today corn al- ways pops when you see the her medically sealed-in- -the-can ker- nels which have just the right amount of moisture needed to make each golden kernel burst into a tender snowfall.
 Certainty of poping was well nigh impossible under past mar keting conditions where, on or off the cob, corn lay in the grocery store exposed to dust, germs and atmospheric changes. It was either too dry or too wet-rarely just right as to moisture content. It is step forward indeed when this food-the delight of children-will pop freely and easily. Keep it on your emergency shelf, ready to pop fun into an otherwise gloomy twi- light. Everyone enjoys it with just butter and salt, but for others who want sweet confection try the fol- lowing:
 MOlasses Popcorn Balls
 Three quarts of popped corn (three-quarters of a 10-ounce can.) Boil one cup of molasses and one cup of corn syrup to 250 degrees, or the medium hard ball stage. Add one tablespoon of vinegar, three
