12 THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAX, PORTLAND, SEPTEMBER 5, 1915. NATIONAL BEGINS SPECIAL OFFERING OF MUSICAL COMEDY FOR TWO WEEKS Manager Goodwin Says Theater Will Return to Film Offerings Miss Honora Hamilton, Prima Donna. Arrives From Chicago to Strengthen Company, Which Is Reported to Have Excellent Repertoire. - i r - - - - ' ; V f THE National Theater, Portland's largest and newest motion-picture house, will forsake the cinema temporarily to begin today a two weeks' engagement of musical shows, presented by the new Frank Kich Com pany. The National will not be divorced permanently from the screen, said Or ion K. Goodwin, manager, the musical comedy eiiRagement being intended simply to bridge over intervals in ob taining a new film service. At the same time, it is promised that the musical shows, which will be given three times daily, at 2:30, 7:30 and 9 VARIOUS RECIPES FOR USING PEACHES GIVEN Lilian Tingle Declares It Is Possible to Serve Fruit in Practically Every Course of Dinner or Luncheon. BY LILIAN TINGLE. THE following recipes are given in response to several requests for suggestions as to the use of peaches. Next to apples peaches are perhaps the most adaptable of fruits, and it is possible to serve them in some form In practically every course of a dinner, or luncheon. Of course no one would ever want to do that; but it just illustrates the possibilities that lie in a crate of fine peaches. Suppose, now. you want to serve them in the appetizer course. They may be sliced and combined with other fruits or served alone with any pre ferred fruit cocktail dressing: or pared, halved and chilled and served, cut side up, with a cherry in the place of the pit and a little maraschino or other preferred fruit cordial or plain syrup dressing. Peach soup may be served either hot or chilled as follows: Hot peach soup Pare and remove the pits; slice and stew until tender with one or two cracked kernels to, say, six peaches, one-half cup of sugar and' one or two teaspoons sago. Rub through a sieve, retieat and add as much claret as you have peach pulp, just before serving in bouillon cups with wafers. If claret is not approved, used a lit tle water to dilute the pulp, and add lemon juice or orange juice to develop the flavor. If preferred, the mixture may be slightly thickened with a little cornstarch in place of the sago. For cold peach soup pare, stone and finely chop the fruit, cover quickly with sugar, squeeze a little lemon Juice over and let stand one hour to drain the juice. Add ahout one-third as much claret or acidulated water, with or without a bit of stick cinna mon, and keep on ice one hour. If liked, a smalt quantity of cooked sago or minute tapioca may be added. The amount of sugar depends upon the sweetness of the peaches and tuon personal taste. Serve with finely crushed Ice in glasa cups. With the meat course spiced or pickled, peaches, peach mangoes, peach P. M.( will be of an elaborate nature, with electrical effects, special scenery and handsome costuming. Popular prices will prevail at the National during the musical engage ment, an occasional reel of films being interpolated. A special scenic film, scenes along the Columbia Highway in AVinter and Summer, is on the pro gramme this week. The Frank Rich Company filled a Summer engagement at The Oaks, clos ing at the park last Sunday. The new company at the National is the full road show of between 21 and 25 people, according to the bills to be offered. The prima donna will be Miss Honora catsup or chutney, peach marmalade or peach butter might be used. Recipes for most of these have been given in this column. A good peach butter may be made from the less choice peaches and cider as follows: Teach Butter With Cider Pare, stone and crush very ripe peaches. Those too ripe for canning may be used, but they must be fresh and sound. Boll cider to the consistency of molasses and add two cups sugar to every gallon of this boiled-down cider. To three quarts peach pulp allow one pint thick sweetened cider and simmer to a smooth paste. . Spice or not as liked. Care is necessary to avoid burning. An excellent simple peach marmalade that can be made the basis of delic ious sweetmeats, is made by allowing equal weights of pared, stoned and sliced peaches and sugar. Cook the peaches alone until soft, and beat smooth; then add the sugar and cook until the mixture "wrinkles" or "glazes" when dropped upon a cold plate. Then store like jelly. This makes excellent filling for Jel ly cakes, and fancy tarts and French pastries. Some forms of the latter are dipped and brushed with hot peach or apricot marmalade and then rolled or sprinkled with chopped browned al monds. A delicious cake filling or fancy tart filling is made by combining peach marmalade with marshmallow paste, or white icing or with whipped cream stiffened with gelatine, with or with out chopped almonds. It also makes an excellent basis for Winter pudding sauces and frozen des serts, and is very good in Winter (di luted slightly with boiling water to make a thick syrupy - consistency), if served with hotcakes instead of maple syrup. Or it may be used as a filling for sweet omelets, French pancakes or baked batter puddings. If "fruit paste" is wanted cook the marmalade as stiff as possible without burning and spread about three-quarters of an Inch deep on platters to dry out a little. When half dry it may , be made into fancy, shapes and rolled Hamilton, who joined the company from Chicago. Miss Hamilton's voice has a wide range. She has been heard sev eral times in Portland with road pro ductions. In addition to Miss Hamilton, there will be found many new faces in the roster of the company. The chorus of .12 "Century Maids" promises to find considerable favor in Portland. "Two Married Men" is the title of the opening programme to be offered. There are 12 musical numbers, in ad dition to many special dancing and electrical numbers. Harry K. . Rvanson will bo musical director, with one of the largest thea ter orchestras in the city. Tom Huf faker will be stage manager until the opening of the Orpheum, when he will hold the same position with that house. "I don't want anyone to think that we shall be able to present a J2 musi cal comedy production at the National," said Frank Kich. manager of the Frank Rich Company. "On the other hand, I expect the Portland verdict will be that our company is the best stock mu sical organization that has ever been heard in Portland." in fine granulated sugar, or it may be left to dry more firmly in a large "slab." sprinkle with granulated sugar. Later this may be cut up to decorate cakes or desserts or to make hbnbon or chocolate centers. Peach Mangoes Rub the fuzz off large freestone peaches, cut in half and stone. Prepare a mixture of equal parts white mustard seed, mace, gin ger, nutmeg and celery seed, fill the cavities and sew the peaches together. Pack into jars and cover with strong cold vinegar. Seal at once. It seems a shame to trifle with the natural flavor of the peach in this way, but peach mangoes seem popular with some people and the oove recipe was spe cially requested. Peaches are, of course, excellent in a salad, and may be used in either the sweet or the half sweet kind. In the former they combine well with al monds or walnuts, bananas or or anges, apples or pears and seeded or seedless white grapes. Eo not, how ever, mix too many different fruits to gether. Cut-up marshmailows or ma raschino cherries may be used in the sweeter mixtures. Whipped cream dressing, fruit syrup dressing, whipped gelatine dressing or (if egg dressings are not disliked with fruit), a mild mayonnaise or a cooked dressing mod ified with whipped cream might be used. - For the half sweet salads celery or apple might be used as "filler," with almonds as the "character" ingredient, with or without a few white sultana raisins. " For this use a French dress ing, simple, or modified, or a savory instead of a sweet whipped cream dressing. In the dessert course it is that the greatest variety is available. Peach pies, "kivered. ujikivered and cross barred," with andt without meringue or whipped cream. . Many varieties and shapes of peach tarts and turnovers, peach shortcake, peach- cobbler, peach custard, peach souffle, "peach frifters, peach Betty, peach bread pudding, peach' tapioca, peach rice and several different kinds of steamed puddings are among the more substantial des serts;while peach Bavarian cream, or peach gelatine ' sponge "pudding, or peach charlotte or peach marshmallQW pudding can be easily evolved from recipes- planned for other fruits, even though you have not the. special peach recipes. - Peach ice cream Is. of course, excel lent. Peacn mousse- is easily made 'with out a freeser. If crushed "ice is avail able. To each cup of peach pulp, fresh or canned, allow one and one-fourth teaspoons gelatine softened In one third cup of cold water and dissolved over hot water. Sweeten more high ly than you would wish to have It if eaten at 'ordinary- temperature, and add a little grated lemon rind and juice with a few drops (very cautious ly added), of almond flavoring if the flavor needs developing. For each cup peach pulp have ready one cup whipped cream. Fold all together and place in a fancy covered mould or baking powder can. brushed with melted gel atine, cover with paper before putting on the lid to prevent the entrance of salt water. Bury the mouli In a mix ture of two parts crushed Ice to one part crushed rock salt and freeze in this way six hours. A larger amount of salt hastens the freezing. Sometimes the peach mousse Is packed into paper cases which are placed In a tin, with parafflne paper between the layers, covered securely and frozen as above. A little longer time may be needed as the paper is a bad conductor. Serve in the cases decorating the top with whipped cream. Peach sherbet ajid peach frappe are both delightfully cooling and easily made If you have a freezer. Several kinds of "peach cakes" suggest them selves, ranging from the plain "Dutch peach cake," with the biscuit or muf fin mixture foundation on which pared and halved or quartered peaches are laid in orderly rows and sprinkled with sugar before baking, to rich white cakes filled with a peach Bavarian cream mixture. A plain layer cake, with sliced peaches and plain Icing between the layers,, is quite nice for immediate use, though it will not keep. "Peach fruit cakes" may also be made along the lines of the apple sauce cake or prune cake recipes which have appeared recently in this column. Peach bonbons have been already mentioned. Dried and candied peaches may also be served as bonbons. Stuffed candled peaches with nuts are delic lously bad for people who hope to re duce weight. After all. however, is there anything In the way of "fixing up" that can im prove a really first-class, fresh, ripe juicy peach? DUTCH GLOVE BRIDE HERE Vows or Windmill King's Daughter and Clerk Are Renewed. NEW YORK. Sept. 1 A bride by the Dutch glove cereiuony, a dainty woman, who was Rosetta E. Voormah. daughter of the windmill king of Holland, tripped down the gangplank to the arms of her husband, Henry E. Sr.el, when the Nieuw Amsterdam arrived from Rotter dam. The young couple were married again the other night in Orange. N. J., and will make their home in Wood bridge. The Nieuw Amsterdam brought 459 passengers, but the most conspicuous was the little windmill princess. Snel and the girl went to school together in Zwolle. He sailed boats for her and whittled wooden shoes and won her .heart. He came over here six years ago, got a job clerking in the office of the Holland-American Line and con tinued his courtship by mail. The war kept his employer's staff so busy here that Snel was unable to cross the sea for his bride. By special crown grant from Queen Wtlhelmina the glovb ceremony was perrormed. The girl went before the notaries at Zwolle and pledged her faith and vows, and Snel made similar acknowledgments before the Dutch Consul at the same hour at No. 9 Broadway. This was on August 10, and as soon as passage could be ob tained she sailed for America. IS STEPBROTHER BROTHER? School .Teacher's Job Depends on Decision or Kiddle In Court. BLOOMSBURG, Pa.. Sept. 1., -Is' a stepbrother a brother or is he not in the eyes of the school code? On the an swer to the question hinges the court's decision in an equity suit instituted by citizens of Scott township against the School Board and Miss Hazel Hughes, teacher. Miss Hazel Hughes was elected a teacher by a Z-2 vote, with her father's half brother, N. B. Fowler, casting one of the votes for her election. The school code provides that if a teacher is kin to one of the directors, four votes must be cast for her. All the allegations in the bill were admitted in the respondent's answer except that Miss Hughes ' is a niece of Fowler, and the lawyers ar gued all one day over that point of law. MODEL HUSBAND ARRESTED Man Without Vices Who Gives Wife AH His Salary, Appears in Court. PITTSBURG, Sept. 1. Although he never drank, chewed, smoked or swore in his life, and always obeyed every command of his wife, gave her all his money, helped her to do the housework and did all he could to make her ex istence blissful, Frank Bethinger was brought into desertion court on a charge of desertion. When asked by the court why she had caused her husband's arrest Mrs. Bethinger said he had failed to keep her in spending money for several months. "Yet he gave you his pay envelope unopened," said the court. "Yes," said Mrs. Bethinger, "but I used that in the house." She admitted Bethinger had no vces. He was discharged.

J fzH? if I.t?X.Sii- . - f f 111!' ' - - - s - 4 It is f 2 ; a tot m e8 ANOTHER three-months' vacation has become history and another school term, with all its exacting duties and its worries, stares some 35,000 children in the face. For Tues day is registration day. But despite the fact that three months of care-free pleasure is not soon forgotten, going to school in this city presents a much more enticing: aspect today than 20 or even 10 years ago. The old hard benches, the bi wood stove with its score of monitors, the clansins bell in the hands of the anaemic Ichabod Crane are memories of the past. In their places are found all the modern appliances that the architect and the engineer can conjure and instruction comes from the young university grad uate who has made the teaching of the younger generation his profession and not the means of making a living merely. The methods of teaching as pre scribed by the superintendent of public instruction in the city have been given the most detailed study and school ad ministration has taken its place among the sciences. A plan of organization that comes from Superintendent Alder man, and is copied to some extent after the Gary system of school .admini'stna tion, will be one of the features that will be tried in some of the Portland schools during the coming Winter. Special Teachers Provided. What Mr. Alderman chooses to call the new studies cooking, sewing, manual training, music, drawing and organized play have taken such a prominent part in the educational sys tem of the city that some adjustment is necessary. It is to furnish this adjust ment that the plan of Mr. Alderman has been evolved. The plan is in effect this: Special teachers will be provided for the in struction of the student along the lines of the new studies and a regular corps will be provided for the carrying on of the regular classroom work. . Then while one group of students is doing classroom work the other group will be in the shop, drafting room, domestic science room, as the case may be. Mr. Alderman says that this plan will re quire fewer teachers and give greater efficiency and that his "two group" plan does not require that the teacher be a specialist in so many lines and therefore allows for more concentrated preparation. Perhaps the best news for the pupil is the announcement that the new Couch and Shattuck schools will be ready for receiving pupils Tuesday morning, when they present themselves for enrollment. These two new build ings combine the external beauty of the highest iypes of architecture and In terior usefulness that the schools of today demand. School Has Snlmiainc Pool. The Shattuck, of Tudor Gothic de sign, is of reinforced concrete with brick' and terra-cotta trimmings. It contains 22 classrooms, a cooking-room for the girls on the second floor and a sewing-room on the second floor. Man ual training quarters have been pro vided in the basement -and separate rooms have been provided for wood working, drawing and forge work. In the basement will also be found the newest departure in modern public school buildings. A tiled swimming pool, with . the V 'IL' "mi. E5"!' , "till -JV, .kl i .

Besides the 20 by 0 pool a gymnasium, with alL the modern apparatus, has been provided. A little above the second floor level an auditorium that will seat 600 per sons has been built. The auditorium has been supplied with a little lamp house so that moving pictures may be shown. The climax feature of the building is the 46x90-foot playground that has been ouilt on the roof over the audi torium. Every detail for the amuse ment of the child will be provided for the smallest of the school's attendants. The same features that are found In the Shattuck School have been in corporated in the new Couch School. The Couch School is of a different style of architecture, but has the same external trimmings that" decorate the Shattuck School. The corridors, steps and floors of both buildings are laid with Insulite mastic, a prepara tion, with an asphaltic base, that is noiseless, easy on the feet and pre ventive of slipping. Alberta Has IV ew Building. But one other absolutely new build ing has been constructed this Summer and .that Is the Kennedy School in Alberta. It is of a distinct type, all the rooms on the - ground floor, and the first unit that Is nearly completed contains eight class rooms. The ex terior is of tile and stucco with terra cotta trimmings. The plan of building is followed only when there is plenty of ground available. Besides the new buildings the direct ors have provided for the addition of rooms to the Albina Homestead, Rich mond and Peninsula Schools. Eight rooms have been added to the Rich mond School and four each to the other two. The framing for the first floor of the first unit of Franklin High School Is up and the plans are being pre pared for the trades school the first unit of which was made possible by recent gift of S. Benson. In the case of both Franklin High and the trades school the first units to rise will be the administration buildings, contain ing the most needed class-rooms. This semester the commercial department of the Franklin High School will be con ducted in the Glencoe School, until the new Franklin is completed. The incorporation of St. Johns and Linn ton within the city has made necessary the provision of teachers for those districts. The high school work will continue fnthe James John High School and classes will be under supervision of teachers appointed at the last meeting:. of the school board. Teacher. Are Exchanged Several new changes have been made necssary with the addition of St. Johns and Linnton to the city school sys tem. The building of new schools and the enlargement of others has necesU tated other changes among the teach ers. In the grades,, owing- to the exchang ing of Portland teachers with teachers ' If Iff. tt x ; m4 Lfesai j from Brockton, Mass., three new facea will appear at the opening of sehool The Misses Sampson, Low and Porter come from Massachusetts to take th places of Miss Hallie Thomas. Mlod Nora Green and Maybelle Ross, who go to Brockton. W. T. Fletcher, ex-principal of thd Couch School, will become the princi pal of James John High and his place) at Couch will be taken by Arthur M. Cannon. A. R. Draper becomes the principal of the new Couch School and C. II. Boyd is made the temporary principal of the Highland School. Already the schools of Portland ara declared to be among the best in the country and when the School of Trades and the- units of Franklin High aro complete the directors of District No. 1 say that Portland will lead the Coast in its public school system. Shoes and Motor Cars. Chicago Daily Journal. Word comes from South Africa that the demand for American boots and shoes, always great in that district, has been increased in remarkable fashion since the war. From another part of the Southern Hemisphere, Ar gentina, our Consuls write that Amer ican automobiles are gaining in popu larity and that if commerce with the United States can be made half as easy as commerce with Europe Yankee motor cars1 will lead all others on the plains of the Plata. Apparently, whether the people tin der the Southern Cross go on foot or by auto, they are learning to look to America for the traveling gear. Their education in this matter is still incomplete. For the last year for which figures were available the United States supplied only one-fifth of the automobiles imported into Ar gentina. The proportion is greater now, but there is plenty of chance for it to increase. As for boots and shoes, there is no reason why this -country should not gain as clear a su premacy In the whole hemisphere as it has now in Cuba, where practically everyone who does not go barefooted gets his foot coverings from America, Curb Household Pests. Indianapolis News. The Chemiker-Zeitung of recent date describes a method of destroying plant and household pests and fungi. Mer cury is the material employed. In in closed places it is used in he form of a vapor, but when trees are infected, by insects, auger holes are bored in the lower branches in an oblique direc tion, passing through the pith of the tree. These holes are filled with mer cury, after which they are made air tight with tree wax. From two to' seven grams of mercury are required for inoculation. This treatment is said to be not only effective for the pur pose intended, but In most cases appar ently assists in the growth of the plant or tree. The influence of the treat ment continues for a year or sometimes more. Frank Explanation. Houston (Tex.) Post. "Do you own any real estate? "Oh, no; we never expect to own any real estate."
