the statement is made that that sum,
which he now enjoys, is not sufficient.

sum upward of $5,000.
"I have not charged the infant with
any portion of the rent paid by me for
my summer home at Bar Harbor,

UNCLE SAM BAKES
SOME GOOD BREAD
He Doe« Things by Rule in Big
Model Bakery; Able to Dry
Dishes Without Towels
Mlbs Hannah Wessling has probably
baked more bread within the past few
years than does the average mother
of a large family in a long lifetime on
the farm. Miss Wessling has Doth
men and women assistants to help her,
but she makes most of the bread her
self. working the dough with her own
hands.
This all takes place in the experi
mental bakery, which is a part of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture. Here hundreds and thousands
of tiny test loaves of bread have been
baked, to say nothing of pies and cakes
and biscuits without number. The
baking has been done under all sorts
of conditions and with all grades of
flour and all manner of yeasts, baking
powdert, flavoring extracts, and other
ingredients. The federal explorers In
the Held of baking have even gone so
far as to make trials of a number of
substitutes for wheat flour—potato
flour, banana flour, chestnut flour, and
other varieties which it has been sug
gested might possibly be produced
more cheaply than a wheat flour in
certain localities.
They Do Things by Rule
The men and women who have stud
ied break-making for the government
would like to see all bread made by
rule of thumb. Perhaps some women
will regard them as a trifle fussy when
they object to the way the usual house
wife trusts to her Judgment in taking
a pinch of this and a dash of that In
stead of weighing and measuring
everything from flour to flavoring that
enters into the making of bread or
pastry, but their ideas are worth lis
tening to all the same.
Another suggestion they make Is
that most cooks would have better
success if they gave greater attention
to the matter of temperature. Fermen
tation, say these wiseacres, is the foun
dation of successful baking. Miss Wess
ling has invented a closet where the
heat can be controlled accurately and
absolutely. This sponge closet is heat
ed by electricity and fitted with glass
doors t/.rough which the progress of
the operation may be watched. But
Miss Wessling declares that any house
wife may obtain the same beneficial
results by boring holes in the top of
an ordinary wooden box, fitting a
shelf for crocks, and Installing under
neath a small oil lamp to provide heat.
Miss Wessling and her assistants pre
pare their own flour, except of course
when tests are being made of com
mercial flours such as are sold in the
open market. When wheat is sent to
the Department, as is constantly the
case, In order that "its flour-making
qualifications may be determined the
sample is made Itito flour under Miss
Wessling's direction in a room fitted
with several types of the small hand
power mills such as may be found in
many farm houses.
This experimental bakery is also a
model kitchen, and will interest any
housewife from this standpoint. To be
sure, all the baking is done In gas or
electric ovens, but this is merely be
cause the experimenters must know
the exact temperature at all times and
be able to regulate it to the fraction
of a degree. Otherwise there is noth
ing In this bread-making that may not
be duplicated in the every-day kitchen.
The experience at the Department of
Agriculture is that a heat of about 400
d&rees is the best temperature for
baking, and there is no reason why
this cannot be attained with a wood
burning or coal-burning range just as
readily, though perhaps not as quickly,
as with an electric or gas oven.
Drying Dishes -Without Dish Towels
Several original ideas have been
worked out In the equipment of this
unique bakery kitchen, and one of
them would be useful to any housewife
as a means of saving space, time and
steps. This is a drain board or dish
rack, and is placed flat against the
wall directly above the kitchen sink.
This flat board, several times as large
as the ordinary break board, is full of
holes in which may be stuck at will
pegs or sticks which, when in place,
project from the face of the board at
an angle. Tho purpose of these pegs
is to furnish support for all manner
of dishes and cooking utensils. The
cups, the tumblers, the pitchers, and
other deep vessels may be placed, bot
tom up, tlich on its individual peg,
whereas plates, saucers and flat dishes
are supported in perfect security on
rows of more slender sticks—each
about as large around as a lead pen
cil—set close together so as to form
what Is equivalent to a continuous
rack.
The advantage of this device is that
it does away with the drying of dishes
in the ordinary time-consuming way,
and also saves the wear and tear upon
dish towels and the time spent in
laundering them. The dishes and uten
sils after being washed are rinsed in
boiling water, and suspended on the
upright board down which the surplus
water quickly drains. Evaporation
performs Its work in short order, and
they are ready and waiting in the most
convenient place when the time comes
for another baking or the prepara
tion of the next meal.—By Waldon
Fawcett in Farm and Fireside.
Enrollment of Every

The purpose of the conference,
which should be taken for adequate
defense and, if necessary to urge upon
the President of the United States the
need of calling a special session of
Congress.
One of the suggestions before the
delegates was contained in the report
of the military committee of the Na
tional Security League. This commit
tee proposed the enrollment and mil
itary instruction of every able bodied
man in the United States between the
ages of 18 and'4s, and the enactment
of national and state laws to put the
plan in operation.

LASSEN VOLCANO IS
UNDER OBSERVATION
Dangerous Peak's Activity Forms
Basis For Scientific Study by
Geological Survey
Washington, D. C., June 15.—Mt,
Lassen, California, whose violent
eruption of May 19 places it in the
first rank of volcanoes now danger
ously active, has become the subject
of an Informal co-operative study by
the geological survey and the forest
service. At the request of the sur
vey, a telegram has been sent from
Washington instructing the officers of
the Lassen national forest, in which
the peak stands, to continue obser
vations of the volcano's activity and
keep a record to be used as a basis for
a scientific investigation by J. S. Diller,
a government geologist, who is ex
pected at Lassen early in July.
The observations are being made by
forest rangers at the scene and from
a fire lookout toSver on Brokeoff
Mountain, a few miles north of the
crater, where the forest service last
year kept watch on the numerous
eruptions which occurred from May
to September.
Cloudburst Started It
It is not known whether a cloud
burst started the last eruption by
precipitating rain down upon the
molten lava in the crater, or whether
melting of the snow on the peak,
with consequent flowing of water into
the crater, caused the accumulation
of steam which blew a river of mud
out of the mountain. Mr. Diller, who
made a study of the volcano last year,
said that he Inclined toward the
melted snow theory, adding that the
bright glow reported as appearing on
the clouds of smoke and steam over
the crater is a reflection of the red
hot matter uncovered by the eruption,
indicating that the volcano is in a
more or less dangerous mood.
The river of mud which was shot
out of the north side of the crater and
down Hat Creek has damaged gov
ernment and private property, says a
wire to the forest service from San
Francisco, destroying bridges which
were necessary to permit the entrance
of livestock that are grazed on the
forest range during the summer. Some
12,000 cattle and 30,000 sheep are
grazed on the Lassen forest every
year.
Mt. Lassen is regarded as excep
tionally Interesting from a scientific
viewpoint, acording to the geological
survey, inasmuch as it is the only
active volcano In the United States
proper. Is very accessible to observ
ers, and appears to be full of danger
ous possibilities. There is much that
is not known about volcanoes, and
Lassen is expected by geologists to
furnish a considerable addition to ex
isting Information on the subject.
SELECTING THE TROUT HOOK
Many anglers advise a small hook
for big fish on the theory that the
bend is better filled and more firmly
imbedded.
And it is an equally plausible theory
that big flies attract big fish.
The trout see them better, especial
ly after their eyesight has been dim
med by months of living in deep, dark
water. When a light, leisurely fly is
floating down toward the water, the
smaller trout near the surface are
watching for it like a fullback for a
punted ball. A big hook attracts the
big flsh In deeper water and the small
fry scatter. In fact, the flghtlng qual
ities of trout are often magnified by
light rods and fine-spun tackle.—
