Cooking Inexpensive Dishes Theme of Three - Day School
150 WOMEN AT
OPENING CLASS
ON WEDNESDAY
Miss Margaret Coates
Gives Advice on Pre
paring Dainty, Tooth
some Pastries.
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.

Columbia river be postponed until

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

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

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

which were estimated here to num
ber 100,000.
Indignation was voiced in official
circles over reports from Tokyo quot

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

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

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,

That there are carriers of the dls

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

It Is always a pleasure to meet a
