UNIVERSITY OF OBEXJON. EugeDf.
Or., Oct. . (Special.) One of the
important ?venta of the week at the
t'nlversltjr of Oregon u the installation
of what was formerly the Masonic Club,
here, composed of university students
and faculty members belonging to the
Order of Masons, as the local chapter of
tiw Acacia Masonic National Fraternity.
The Installation took place lust Thurs

Following the cereir-jny the members of
the newly Installed fraternity entertained
the installing officers and Kae.ts from
chapters In other universities who had
assisted In the initiation ritvs, at an elab
orate banquet at which plates were t
for 0 persons. The occa-on was made
more than usually notable., in addition
to its local siunlflcance. by the fact that
the local chapter i the third on the Pa
cific Coast to be granted a charter anil
received into the National Acacia organi
xation. The other two chapters at pres
ent on he coifst include one at- Stanford
and another at California, though a
fourth chapter is to be installed next
month at the Vnlversity f "Washington.
Though only about 12 years old and one
of the youngest of th? larger fraternitk.
the Acacia Masonic Fraternity is con
sidered one of the strongest and best of
i-ollega fraternal oiganixatiorw. It was
first founded at the University of Michi
can by several students who were
Masons. Since then chapters have been
Installed at .Harvard. Yale, Cornell and
most of the large Eastern universities.
Today the organization, which Is closely
affiliated with the Masonic Order, has 26
chapter throughout the country, with
several thousand active and alumni mem
bers. Th Acacia bears somewhat the s-ime re
lation to ha roeutar Maaanic Order u 1

The Acacta fraternity had Its inception
at the university four years ago as the
Masonic Club, when Dr. Charlea W.
I.owe. of Portland, himself a 33d-degreo
Mason, and one of the most prominent
Masons In the" state, suggested to (several
Masonic Fraternity. Last Spring his ef
ternity. Members of the original organi
zation did not at that time go Bo far as
to secure a house and announoe their
purpose, but. quietly laid their plans for
the future and waited. In the mean
time Dr. Lowe was working to secure
them a'charter from the National Acacia
Masonic Fraternity. Last Spring his ef
fort." were successful, and the charter
was granted. Its formal bestowal upon
the local fraternity being made at Thurs
day night's Installation.
The founders of the original club in
clude not only many who were students
at that time, but others who are well
know,n and prominent throughout the
state. One of thoeo who" has at all times
taken keen Interest In the fraternity, and
has done so much for Us welfare that he
Is almost considered an active member,
is 8. H. Friendly, a prominent Eugene
merchant end member of the State Uni
versity Board of Regents. Among the
list are several f aciill v mambexa. The

LILIAN TINGLE TELLS HOW
TO USE MUSHROOMS
Dried, Pbwdered, or Put in "Insatiable Bottle," Fungi Will Keep All
' Winter Best Way to Salt Almonds Told Also How to
. Make Oat Cakes and Cheese Puffs. "
BT LILIAN TINGLE
PORTLAND. Or.. Oct.-21. We have more
mushrooms than we know how to use.
Will you kindly Elve susre-uinns tor
what can be one with them? Miss R. C.
Tou are certainly .to be envied with such
a good supply of mushrooms. I should
advise drying some for Winter usa. Trim,
peel and wash them in cold, salted water.
Separate the caps from the stems, and
dry In a cool oven, or on the rack over
the stove, protected from dusL Sun-dried
mushrooms are best; but the sunshine
just now is hardly strong enough for the
purpose. The dry mushrooms should be
kept In an airtight receptacle. For .use,
soak In cold water and treat like ordi
nary fresh mushrooms.
- Mushroom powder is also useful for
enriching, soups, sauces and stews. For
this, crush and sift the dried mushrooms,
and keep closely corked in a bottle.
Button mushrooms may be canned satis
factorily, for future use. They make a
good pirkla. For the latter, prepare some
spiced vinegar as for unsweetened pickles.

houses in the university town. It owns
its own lodgerooms and house 'at Ninth
and Hilyard streets, Eugene, which con
tains' comfortable room for 22 members.
There Is a large yard and barn adjoining.
Masons throughout the state have taken
great Intere.st In the formation of the
new fraternity, and as a result the house
Is beautifully furnished from top to bot
tom. To celebrate their Installation, mem
bers of the fraternity gave a big recep
tion and houswarming to the university
students and their friends in Eugene.Fri
day evening. Th reception was one of
the society .events of the season here.
For several cays previously during, the
week, society women of Eugene, includ
ing the wives of many members of the
faculty, assisted the young men In dec
orating .their 'house tastefully with Au
tumn leaves and flowers and the Acacia,
colors, black and yellow. Among those
who helped were Mrs. Campbell, wife
of President Campbell, Mrs. Frederick
Dunn, Mrs. John Straub, Mrs. Stafford,
Mrs. Tiffany, Mrs. Brlstow, Mrs. Frink.
Miss Grace Tiffany, Miss Edith Prescott
and Mrs. Kuykendall. ,
The patrons and patronesses of the eve-
Half fill a glass can, the kind with a glass
lid preferred. Drop In the mushrooms as
they are gathered every day, after clean
ing them thoroughly with water and a
bit of flannel dipped In salt. You will be
surprised how many button mushrooms
one quart bottle will hold. We always
had one on the pantry shelf, when I was
little. In the mushroom season it was
daily filled to the brim, and was always
ready for more next day. It was com
monly known as the I. B. or "Insatiable
bottle." A little "I. B. vinegar" was
very useful in giving a final touch to
salads, sauces, etc., and added a charm
to many fish dishes.
Here is a mushroom recipe recently sent
me by a friend. I haven't tried it yet,
but it is highly recommended:
"Lamb kidneys with mushrooms Put in
a frying pan 1 ounce butter, 1 tablespoon
chopped onion, a clove of garlic, and 'as
many fresh mushrooms as you feel like
buying, with salt and pepper to taste. Do
not allow to brown, but saute gently until
both onions and mushrooms are tender.

Of
ning, who stood in tha receiving line
with the fraternity men and the installing
Officers of the previous night were:. Presi
dent and Mrs. P. L. Campbell, Regent
and Mrs. S. H. Friendly and Professor
and Mrs. Frederick Dunn.
Add a gill of cream and an equal quan
tity of sherry or madeira. Keep the
sauce hot In a double broiler while you
skin, split and broil the kidneys. Serve
on rounds of crips, crustiess, butterei
toast, and pour over them the sauce, after
removing the garlic."
I think I should take out the garlic
earlier . In the game: and I might be
tempted to add a suspicion of rouz to
preserve a creamy texture in the sauce
without reajly thickening it.
Mushroom catsup is also a good way of
disposing of a superfluity of mushrooms.
A recipe for catsup was given recently
m these columns.
Portland. Or.. Oct. 2.S. Would you please
give me a recipe for making salted almonds?
MRS. B. R. C.
Jordan almonds, the longr narrow
kind, are best bit are more expen
sive than the usual flat oval variety.
After shelling, blanch the almonds by
pouring: boiling water over them and
rubbing off the loosened skin. Dry
thoroughly. To one pint nuts add two
tablespoons melted butter, or good
olive oil, and let stand an hour or two,
stirring occasionally. Then sprinkle
with two tablespoons fine salt,' and
put in a moderate oven to bake a deli
cate brown, say 15 or 20 minutes, stir
ring occasionally that they may brown
evenly.
Method 2 Put three-fourths cup
good salad oil In a saucepan or chafing
dish. When hot, put in the blanched
and dried nuts, a few at a time. Fry
to an even delicate brown. Drain on

paper and sprinkle with salt. This
method cooks the nuts more evenly
and makes them more brittle.
Method 3 Boll the blanched nuts five
minutes in rather strong brine. Drain,
dry, and bake or fry as directed above.
By this method the salting is more even.
Fine salt crystals should show on the
cooked nuts.
Portland. Deo. 28. Will you kindly Blv
a recipe for aeotch oatcake, such as is eaten
at Halloween? MRS. E. W.
The real Scotch oatcake is rather diffi
cult to make owing to the lack of real
Scotch oatmeal. Meal Is needed, not
"flakes" or "groats." Some skill In
handling Is also necessary to get neat,
handsome "bannocks" of exactly the
right shape, texture, and thickness. Mix
1 pound Scotch oatmeal with 1 teaspoon
salt. Some makers use hi teaspoon 'soda;
others denounce soda for this purpose.
Mix to a rather stiff paste with 4
ounces melted fat and hot water. Knead
smooth; toss on a board rather thickly
dusted with dry oatmeal. Press with
hands and knuckles Into round cakes

Portland, Or., Oct. 27. I would like a
recipe for cheeto puffs as tasted recently,
oft and creamy and very ap-pctizing. Io not
know what kind ot choeae to uce.
MRS. M. C.
I cannot of course be sure that the fol
lowing puffs are what you want, but you
might try them.
Cheese puffs Put a gill of cream into
a double boiler, with 2 ounces grated dry
cheese (half American and half Parm
esan Is a good mixture), 1 salt spoonful
of salt, a pinch of cayenne, a pinch ot
sugar, 1 tablespoon of butter, well-beaten
eggs, and cook carefully Hke a custard.
Add a few drops of lemon juice just be
fore serving. Fill puff-paste patty shells
with this mixture. A larger proportion
of cheese may bo used. If liked, and
celery salt Is very nice for seasoning.
