THE 3IORNTNG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, APRTL 11, 1922 io LOCALTONGS PLAN Tl Celestials Talk Over Matters With District Attorney. AUSPICIOUS START MADE Chinese Confess Breach of Faith in Recent Uprising, but Deny Dishonorable Intent. An effort to break away from the national tong organizations and to stamp out tong wars permanently In Portland was presaged at a meeting of the Chinese Peace society yester day afternon, to which Stanley Myers, district attorney, was guest of honor. - Approximately 125 celestials, repre '. senting the better class of Chinese ; residents of Portland, gathered In the peace society headquarters to talk '. over the matter with the district at torney. An auspicious beginning was - made when the Chinese confessed that they had failed to keep faith with " the district attorney, but disclaimed ; dishonorable intent. Though the peace society in which : all the tongs were represented pledged to abstain from further tong war- fare some time ago and communicated that pledge to District Attorney Myers, the opening of recent hostili- ' ties was a distinct breach of faith, - they conceded, though insisting that ' the outbreak was due to outside in : terference. Without the knowledge o : local tong men, the Hip Sing national leaders sent Seattle gunmen to Port land with the result that hostilities ; flamed anew, it was said. Two White Men In Room. W. "W. Banks, attorney for the peaea society, was the only other white man in the room during the conference with the district attorney. Remarks T by Mr. Myers were translated Into Chinese for the benefit of many lis " teners who did not understand Eng lish, but the impassioned oratory which followed frpm celestial throats ' was not translated, the official as ; sertions being made by Attorney - Banks. ; Mo Chang Way, president of the peace society, and Jue Hin. secretary, each spoke at length after the district ; attorney had finished his remarks, and the general tenor of their ad dresses was a desire to co-operate with the authorities in stamping out . the evil of tong wars in the city. The district attorney spoke but briefly, pointing out to the Chinese : that the matter was entirely up ' to them, that if the residents of Port : land Chinatown showed a united front ; and demanded that tong wars cease that there would be no more warring in this city. It was the policy of his '. office, asserted Mr. Myers, to hold the entire Chinese population of Port land responsible for conditions exist- Conciliating Spirit Shown. The matter of destruction of gam ; bling paraphernalia confiscated in the raids conducted at the instance of the '. district attorney was not mentioned by the Chinese, who showed a spirit of conciliation and a desire to placate ; official wrath by any reasonable - means. J One Chinese, whose name was not ; learned and whose speech was not translated volubly and passionately ' harangued the assemblage, creating considerable stir. The district attor 'X ney was told that he was advocating ' that the Chinese of the city organize ; to stamp out the tongs locally. The meeting went into executive ; session after the district attorney lef t ; for the supposed purpose of discussing ' ways and means for breaking with the national tongs and eliminating future wars locally. STAMP OUT WAR . MR. KOEHN IS CANDIDATE ; Instructor at Reed College Out for " State Representative. ' George L. Koehn, ex-service man I and instructor in law and govern ment at Reed college, has announced . himself as a candidate for repre ; eentative on the legislative ticket in - the republican primaries. In his , platform he is opposed to Japanese land ownership and the repeal of the millage for the institutions of higher ; learning. He favors legislation to ; control or wipe out the narcotic evil. " He favors consolidation of various I state commissions whose functions overlap and abolishing such other state boards as will not impair public service. He is opposed to the repeal of the law permitting women to serve on juries. Mr. Koehn, born in Wisconsin in 1889, was graduated from the law " department of the University of Ore- - gon in 1914.

Dear Miss Tingle: I am wondering if you could help me out withi my caka baking. I wish to make a plain cake using 1 cup sugar, V cup butter and crisco mixed, cup milk, 2 eggs the beaten whites added last, 2 cupa hard wheat flour with pinch of salt and 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder sifted together, extract. It is not of smooth texture and the layers always have a hump in the middle. Could you tell me wrfat is wrong? Also, what causes a loaf cake to burst open in the center when baking? Thanking you, - , MRS. J. T. HARD wheat flour is not good for cake making, though excellent for bread., Use either regular cake flour or sift cup cornstarch with 1 cups bread flour and remeasure 2 cups of the mixture, filling the cup with a spoon. Possibly also you are using too much flour in your mixture (that is. overmeasuring your flour), though the proportions you give in the re cipe are quite suitable if correctly measured (or weighed), if cake flour is used. Also you should spread your cake batter (which should be of the "con sistency of whipped cream), pushing it well to the corners and leaving a slight hollow in the center. The bursting is generally due to using too high" temperature at first, so that the top of' the cake hardens before the batter is fully risen, but too much flour also tends to cause cracking in cakes. EliBNSBUBG, Wash., March 27. Dear Miss Tingle: Perhaps an explanation may bo in place in regard to the question I ask concerning the meringue on piea some times watering. At times drops of water or syrup will come to the surface. Please explain the reason if you have not already replied. Why will the crust or paste at ZJLXJ SCRAMBLED EGGS Easy to prepare and so satisfying when 1'nst right.

I always enjoy your column very much and thank you for all benefits received therein as I enjoy cooking and learning the modes of cook ing. It requires much practice if we ever do. Tours sincerely, W. F. D. I hope you saw the recent replies about meringue. The shrinking of pastry may be due to the use of too strong or un modified' flour. Of it may be due to some lack of care in handling and baking. The easiest way is to use pastry flour and bake the crusts on inverted pie tins, pricking the crust all over before it is placed- in the oven and again when partly baked gust before it becomes crisp. Usually it tends to rise In one large bubble from the in verted plate, but if this bubble is pricked while the pastry is still flex ible it subsides to give a perfectly shaped crust.
