FAMILIES BENEFIT THROUGH
LIFE INSURANCE

The families and other beneficiar-
les of Maryland policyholders re-
ceived an aggregate of $11,358, 900
from life insurance companies in
settlement of death claims during
the first nine months Of 1910, it was
annonced this week by the Institute
of Life Insurance.
THE Importance Of the econimic
and social contribution of life in
surance to the families and commun-
tiles Of this State is indicated by the
fact that the funds, flowing into be-
reaved homes so far this year have
averaged $1.262,O00 month";" J.
Holgar Johnson, president of the In
stitute, stated an releasing the fig
ures.
OF the death claim benefit pay
ments made in this State, this year,
up to September 80. 1910, 1885,
Ov0 was paid out on ordinary policies
$736,000 on group policies and
ssso67.000 IN Industrial policies.

HONEY MAY BE USED IN BAKING
CAKES

Many bakery concerns make much
of the fact that they use honey in
baking. They do this to keep their
products from drying out too rapid
ly and the same principle works
equally we'll in cakes and other pro-
ducts baked in the home, according
to Miss Margaret McPheeters, Nu-
triton Specialist for the Extension
Service.
Honey takes up moisture rapidly
and holds it so that fruit cakes,
steamed buildings, cookies and cam
dies made with it stay moist for q
long time. On the other hand, con-
fections and frostings made with
honey will remain undesirably
soft and sticky and take up more
moisture If the air is humid.
Honey can be substituted for
sugar in cake recipe but, because Of
the moisture in the honey, less liQ-
uid is needed. The amount that the
liquid must be reduced depends on
the kind of honey--whether it is
medium, thick, or thin, and on the
proportion of honey substituted for
sugar.
When medium thick honey Is sub
stituted for half the sugar in a cake
recipe, reduce the liquid one-fourth.
If honey is substituted for all the
sugar, reduce the liquid one-half.
Honey may be used in ginger
bread, brown breads, and steamed
buildings. 1t has much the same con-
sistency as molasses and may be
used in place of it, measure for meas
ure. But honey contains less acid
than molasses; so leave out the soda
if 1t is called for and increase the
quantity of baking powder. For
each quarter teaspoonful of soda
omitted, add teaspoonful of baking
powder. Otherwise, follow the usual
method in the recipe you are accus.
toned to, including time and temper.

John Robertson may be a bust

you want to send Christmas card,
but you do not know his wife. What
shall you do in a case of this kind?
It is quite proper to send your card
to Mr.. and Mrs. John Robertson, al
though, on the other hand, it is
equally proper to send the card in
his name only. 1t adds a little of
the personal touch to learn the home
address and send the card there,
although directing the card to a
business address is quite proper.
Some question as to the proprie-
ty of sending out Christmas cards
may enter the minds of the family
in mourning. BY the same token,
some question may arise as to the
sending Of Christmas cards to them.
If the bereavement is very recent

the family to omit Christmas cards.

IN ADDRESSING Christmas cards,
= many questions are bound to
arise with regard to correct form.
The following tips on addressing
Christmas cards will, therefore, be
welcomed by all who have cards to
send.
Christmas greeting cards fall into
two general classes, formal and in
formal. If you use printed or en-
graved cards for formal use, the
title Miss, Mr., or Mr.. and Mrs.
should preferably appear above the
greeting. For instance: "Mr. and
Mrs. Frank Russell wish you Mer-
ry Christmas" rather than "a Mer-
ry Christmas from Mr.. and Mrs.
Frank RUSSELL"
Whose name should come first,
the husbands or the wife's? Gen.
orally, the husbands name comes
first. On informal cards, signed in
ink, it is quite proper to sign, "Bill
and Shirley" or Bill and Shirley
Adams, depending, of course, upon
how well you know the acquaintance.
A married woman, whether her
husband is alive or not, should be
addressed with "Mrs." prefixed to
her husbands full name. Every
card sent out should bear a Mr.,
Mrs, or Miss prefix. Failure to use

TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMISSION
no SEEK Law ON DnnuNa
LIGHTS

Among the safety measures under
contemplation by Governor Herbert
r. o'Conor's Maryland Trafic SAT-
ETY. Committee, is the matter Of legis-
lation requiring the dimming Of
automobile headlights when passing
other cars. A Bill to this effect is
among several safety measures now
being prepared by the Legislative
and Engineering Committees of the
Traffic Safety Committee.
The danger of glaring headlights
was one of the first issues raised BY
the Traffic Safety Committee when It
was instituted last September, and
throughout the year the attention Of
motorists of the State has been CALI
ed time and again to this simple act
of courtesy which means SO much to
the cause Of safety. Unfortunately,
however, it would seem that with q
certain portion of the motoring pub
lie, even though dimming lights not
only is courteous, but an act almost
of self-preservation, there Is still
need for the imposition by law of
penalties for those who refuse to
comply with this safety regulation.
For more than year the Safety
Committee has kept up continuous
war on glazing headlights, the worst
menace to safe travel at night ON
Maryland highways. To educate the
public to the Importance of this
courtesy, the entire State has been
circularized and posted. Columns Of
warnings have been published
through the press, both Metropolitan
and rural, and by radio.
The fact that practically all cars
are now equipped with every pos
sible device for safe travel, leaves
little or no excuse for accidents oc-
curing from failure to dim lights.
Therefore, DR.. Steinberg's bill will
provide that "Dimming Lights" when
approaching other cars is a law and
must be obeyed, and that failure to
observe the law will register a black
mark against the drivers card, and
will also involve fine.

e. BROOKE LEE SLATED FOR
HOUSE SPEAKER

The naming of q. Brooke Lee of
Montgomery county as member OF
the House of Delegates on the eve
of the converting Of the Maryland
Legislature came as q surprise to
many Democrats of Maryland.
He replaced Joseph D. Buscher, re-
signed, who received an appointment
at the hands Of the Lee controlled
county political set-up Of Mont
gomery.
The naming Of Lee will compli-
cate, somewhat, the naming of a
new speaker of the House and in
sure a former speaker being a mere
member at the next session.
That Lee will be a serious con-
tender for the Speakership is fore
gone conclusion, he having served
four terms as a member Of the low
or branch of the Legislature and oc-
cupying the chair as presiding officer
in the 1927 and 1929 sessions.
The newly appointed member
from Montgomery county will most
certainly occupy a commanding po-
sition in the next Legislature and it
is a safe bet he will either be the
Floor Leader of the Speaker.
1t is now certainty that this
move has been contemplated in Mont
gomery county for some months,
as one member of the House from
Western Maryland who was con-
tender for the Speakership approach
ed Lee in June Of this past summer
and could get no assurance of the
support of Montgomery county.
If the present speaker, Thomas
e. Conlon, of Baltimore city, Is re-
elected, which is highly unlikely, or
If Lee is named as the presiding Of
ficer, it will be certainty that one
former speaker of the House will be
q mere member at the coming ses-
sion.
The remaining of Conlon has been
doubtful for some months as the
vast majority of the city Delegates
and all of those from the counties
are agreed that he was highly un-
satisfactory at the last session and
he could not control q rebellious
House should that body decide to be
obstinate.
On the other hand, Lee, ON both
occasions as the presiding officer Of
the lower branch, was noted for his
driving tactics in pushing through
the administration measures and it
is apparent that a strong guiding
hand will likely be Necessary at the
approaching session.
There Is also considerable talk Of
replacing John s. White, of Prince
Georges county, as the floor leader.
His leadership is reported to have
been even more unsatisfactory than
the services Of Conlon as the Speak
er during the 1889 session.
The members of the Legislature
will meet on New Years Eve for
the organization meeting and from
present indications the New Year
Eve party is sure to be a lively one
at the State House in Annapolis
From The New Citizen, Frederick,
Maryland.
