One hundred and fifty women at tended the opening day's program of the Safeway homemakere' bureau cooking school conducted by Miss Margaret Coates, presented by the La Grande Safeway Btores, yesterday af ternoon at the Sacajawea Inn. Attrac tive ways of cooking Inexpensive dishes Is the theme of the three-day school which will continue through Friday afternoon. . - . 'Dainty ..little tmagtc lemon cream pies with a peaked cap of , meringue done to a turn, luscious meat roll, ..appetizing chocolate bread pudding, graham cracker pudding were only a few of the dishes which Miss Coates prepared. " 'Fool-proof" pastry, mode the jelly roll method, offers many possibilities for dainty things, Miss Coates dem onstrated. The pastry -Is made with two cups of flour, one teaspoon of salt, two-thirds of a cup of shorten ing, and six tablespoons of cold water. After sifting the flour first with the sifter held high above the bowl so that as much air as possible may be- ; come Incorporated with it, the dryin- ' .gradients' ore' added and the entire mixture is sifted again, after which Miss Coates added ; the shortening, using the water method of measuring. , In the water method one-third of a cun of water Is put In a measuring .cup, and then the lard is added. When the water reaches the top or measur ing cup then two-thirds of a cup of shortening will Be accurately meas ured. "Do not cut the shortening Into the water m fine pieces but leave It as coarBe as peas," she stated. Then add the water, a few dropB at a time until It holds together. The bread board and rolling pin should- be covered with a cloth be fore the dough Is put out on the board where It is rolled Into a long narrow atrip and dotted with an ad ditional tablespoon of shortening. Then roll the pastry like a Jelly roll,, cut In-three plecea(and roll each, piece to fit the tin. . Suggests Pastry Twigs With the dough which Is left over, Miss coates sucgests pastry twigs be made. Roll out the pastry and with a doughnut cutter cut rings from it. With a knife cut straws or sticks about one-fourth Inch wide and six Inches long. Bake In a hot oven un til delicately brown, and after they are cooled place as many sticks In a ring aB can be easily arrangea, ana use each bundle as a garnish for salad. A delicious "filling for the pies, which are baked before filling, was . made by Miss Coates. Magic lemon cream pie Is easily made," using one can of condensed milk, and she states that It Is Important that condensed milk be used and not the evaporated variety, since me iormer is bwwwiwu and thickened. To the milk add grated rind of one lemon, three egg yolks,: one-half cup of lemon Juice and a pinch of salt. The ingredients should be mixed in the above order and beaten well, after which they are poured uncooked Into the baked pie shell and baked for about 15 minutes In a very moderate oven. The oven heat Is Important since the meringue which Is added before the pie is put In the oven must be thoroughly dried before it Is browned" so that It will not "fall" when the pie Is cold. . ' Making Meringue - For making successful meringue, Miss Coates suggests that two table spoons of granulated BUgar be added to each egg white, and beaten until It is thoroughly blended. v A standard biscuit recipe was dem onstrated by Miss Coates as a base for a meat roll. A discovery made by the homemakers bureau is the advan toee of lightly kneading biscuit dough with the finger tips, replacing thn old theory that It should be handled as little as possible. A phase In which biscuit dough differs from pie dough Is In the fact that the shortening should be finely cut Into the former Instead of left In large lumps as In pie dough, she added. The meat roll, which is a mixture of meat, onions and so forth. Is made by spreading the meat mixture on a bed of biscuit dough and then roll Inn up In the shape of the lelly roll. When the mixture is cooked for about 15 minutes In a hot oven it Is re moved and sliced, and Is especially delicious with a covering of gravy. Miss Coates also demonstrated the making ft of gelatine cubes, which makes an excellent dessert for chil dren; panama salad, a new combina tion of pineapple and cream cheese; an open face egg sandwich; under-the-eea Balad; chocolate bread pud ding; graham cracker pudding which Is frozen in the Ice box; glazed baked apples; a platter meal of corned beef, rice and chopped onion; and spiced prunes which made a pretty garnish. Demerara Is the name given tq tli finest rt raw sugars sugar be fore the refining process. The term was formerly restricted to the Demerara section of British Gulnna, noted for Its high grade raw sugar, but Is now applied to similar sugar from the West Indies. j f!RTf!KET PLAT PERSONALS J By Lois Wltherspoon CRICKET FLAT (Special) The pupils of the Hlndman school held their closing day picnic at the school house Thursday.

O., apeclal dispatch to the Journal yesterday said "recom mendations that development of the Columbia river be postponed until national! finances are In better con dition . . ." was made in a report which Pat Hurley, secretary of war, has made on the Columbia river hill recently Introduced by Senators Mc- Nary and Stelwer. A further recommendation Is that when work on the Columbia Is started It be In the hands of single executive, from. Grand Coulee down. ,i The Journal's dispatch said "Hur ley's report, which came to the sen ate committee on Irrigation, may be construed, as Indorsing the four-dam plan favored by the army engineers, which form? part of the bill of the Oregon senators, but unaccountably It criticizes the bill fpr not lnclud Ing the cost of navigation lockB at dams as part of the total cost to be advanced by the (government ana reimbursed from power revenues." The dispatch continued: "The en gineers reported that the 16,000,000 cost of navigation works should be borne wholly by . the government, Hurley suggests that the authoriza tion for Warrendale be lifted to $64.- 000.000; Celllo Falls $91,000,000; John Day Rapids $16,000,000, and Umatilla Haplds $64,000,000. "If Hurley's Idea Is adopted the lower Columbia and Grand Coulee authorization would be lumped in one bill." 1 Chinese Rebels Killed In Two Tilts Yesterday TOKYO, May 12 VP) Japanese military officials reported today that 260 Chinese rebels were killed In two battles between the Chinese and Jap. anese Chlentao expedition near Yenkl yesterday. . ; Dispatches Ito the Hbngo news agency said three Japanese were wounded In the battle. NEEDED IN MANCHURIA? NANKING, China. May 12 (P) The belief was expressed here todAy. that Japan had decided tb withdraw Its army from Shanghai only ba cause the troops were needed 'In Man churia to swell the forces now there, which were estimated here to num ber 100,000. Indignation was voiced in official circles over reports from Tokyo quot tlng Japanese officials as saying tbey hoped the Chinese troops would not enter within the 12 54 mile zone at Shanghai, after the Japanese troops leave. There Is nothing in the recently signed treaty to that effect, the Chi nese officials said, and It was pointed out that the Chinese delegates at the truce conference In Shanghai made a reservation that the agreement In no way bound China In the matter of the disposal or movement of Chinese troops. This reservation was accepted by the Japanese delegates, they said. w-awme for all your There is no need for you to have more than, one flour in your house.

Discount Rate Again Lowered By English Bank LONDON, May 12 (IP) The bank of England reduced Its discount rate today from three to 2V4 per cent.y It was the second reduction within less than a month. The rate was lowered on April 21 from 814 to 3 per cent. , - With the budget details, completed at that time, it was announced, the bank was flble to make a further move for cheaper money in the hope of UIieUKIUg 1.11(7 U111IU Ul JW.CIgu i,iwbj for short term Investment; As usual the stock exchange an ticipated the lower bank rate by rais ing values of gilt-edge offerings, but the actual announcement was cheered and further slight gains were re corded on good yielding securities. Market discounts have been so -low for the past few weeks that no fur ther decline was anticipated, but market men expressed the opinion that the trading community would benefit by using commercial bills in the money market at the low rate In- stead of overdrafts at Joint stock banks which charge a higher rate.

GHIRARDELLI'S Uneeda "Basket" Carries Scores Of Goodie Items A fact that surprises many a home maker Is that the famous Snow Flake Sodas have a whole host of "little brothers and sisters," as revealed by Miss Coates who is conducting the Safeway cooking school. According to Miss Coates one of the biggest time-savers for busy shoppers Is to go directly to the Uneeda Bakers display which Is a featured unit In leading food stores, and make selections all at one time to flult the varied needs of a home-maker's week. In that rack she will find of coure the oven-fresh Snow Flake Sodas that she needs to serve with soups and salads, and from which she can make canapes and hors d'ouvres as well as main dishes in the escalloped editions. Then she can find a variety of items for the be fore -bedtime snack such as pretzels and other light but satisfying mor sels. For afternoon teas or bridge occasions there are the sweet ltoms In dozens of fancy variations. For after-school appetite demands are the delightful and wholesome Honey Maid Grahams and Uneeda Grahams as well as many old standbys such' as Barnum's animals and the better known favorites with the fancy tops. "The way Uneeda Biscuit items are now grouped In most stores," sayB Miss Coates makes It easy to stock up for every possible emergency, and women everywhere are availing them selves of the convenience of doing It this way." POLIOMYELITIS PROBLEMS It is but fitting now that the epi demic of poliomyelitis, or Infantile paralysis, is over, that science should take stock of what the ex perience has taught us. To begin with then, there Is the residue of problems still unsolved. These concern the Important Items of transmission, diagnosis and pro tective irmmunlty. ... How Is infantile paralysis trans mitted? This problem has been defi nitely, answered in part only. It is established beyond doubt that It Is spread from human to human, and most probably by the excretions of the nose and throat, . Other agencies, too, may ' however spread the virus of poliomyelitis, CHOCOLATE Jay Gear-ar-c&l&f -u5 notably raw foods and milk. ' That there are carriers of the dls ise, that Is, persons who harbor the polio virus and are capable of passing it on to others though they themselves are not sick with it, has been shown to be a fact. ? Also there are the so-called mild cases which nay pass on the virus to others and cause serious disease. though their own condition may go undiagnosed. 1 With all these facts taken Into consideration, It must at once be come apparent that the control of the spread of , poll by any other than absolute quarantine, a form of quarantine which would "completely and absolutely shut out the world from contact with the family, is practically hopeless, I And again, if foods may convey I the polio virus, there is no assur ance that evon the most tirast'o quarantine may help stem the spread of the disease, t The physician frequently Is asked whether children should bo taken away to some Isolated spot during epidemics. The answer is that there la no way of being certain of escape. Hence in the words of . Dr. George Draper, "Ordinarily it is better to remain in the infected area and reiy on the skill of the aroused and alert physician to make an early diag nosis and administer immune hu man serum."- ; . . BIG MEN ARE FRIENDLY It Is always a pleasure to meet a railroad president, a genuine captain of industry or a high government of ficial. The immediate response from such men is so friendly, their ap proach so much like that of the fel low whom one would call by his first name at every meeting. A big man, it seems, Is never a "high-hat." Carl R. Gray, presldont of the Union Pacific system, dropped off his pri vate car at the station hero yesterday afternoon. En g too crews and train crews change here. Mr. Gray had pleasant word of greeting for each fireman, engineer, brakeman and con ductor whom he saw. He was button holed by a reporter before railroad employes, who had come to the sta tion to greet him, hod the oppor tunity to shake his hand. The train Bton was to be not more man nvo minutes. Did Mr. Gray dismiss the news man with a fow hurried marks? Ho did not. He chatted and ho INTERVIEWERt You are rav ishing tonifsht. Miss Williams, in that Borgcous blue crepe gown. Come on!
