Day bsS toir CURB FOB PARLOR BOLSHEVISTS ASKED Washington Vnable to .prosecute tho so-called parlor bolshcvists, long haired men and short haired women, who encourage cgitators and promote sedition as a pastime, Attorney-General Palmer Issued an appeal to con gress for prompt action cn the biil submitted by him several months ago which would strengthen the bands of the department of Justice in dealing with American citiiens considered dangerous to the nation. Coming on the heels of the most successful natiou-wide raid on radi cals ever made in this country, Mr. Palmer'a statement was regarded with unusual Interest by members of ecn press. At least one of the men taken In the raids is a city official, and numer ous others are natives or have taken out citizenship papers. It is these that Mr. Palmer desires to handle through the federal courts rather than to leave their punishment to state tri bunals, and In the absence of a federrl law be is unable to do so.

A delicious and well-prepared des iert will often help us to forget that the prjeeding dishes wort' ii-t all that we de sired. At this season of the year frozen desserts and lish'. easily digested dishes tire more suitable. -1 luring the hot weather we need refreshing com binations rotber than the nourishing; however, one may have both in a cream. A most satisfac dish of Jt tory sherbet, which is both delicious nnd economical, is Velvet Sherbet. Take the juice of three lemons, two cupfuls of siijiarand a ouiirt of zood mil!;, the richer the bettor, though ordinary milk will be satisfactory. Freeze ana serve in sherbet cups. Orange and Lemon Sherbet Take the Juice of two oranges, two lemons ttnd two cupfuls of sugar and a quart of thin cream ; freeze ns usual. Dainty Dessert Take a pound of marshuiullows and a dtp of pecans cut fine; cut the mallows into quarter nnd add enough whipped cream to blend nnd hold them together. Into a large-topped sherbet glass put a table spoonful of any canned fruit . Juice, fill with the whip and serve with a cherry ns a garnish. Duchess Cream. Take sis table spoonfuls of tapioca; cook until clear cool, add n pinch of salt, one cupful of sugar, the juice from a can of pine apple, the juice of two oranges and two lemons; cool; until thick. Cool, then add the pineapple, oue cupful of nuts and a pint of whipping cream. This makes enough to serve 15, so that the rceipe may be cut in half for an ordinary family. Chocolate Pudding. Take one egg and when well beaten add one-nalt eunful of smmr. one cupful of milk, two squares of chocolate melted, oue nnd .one-half cupfuls of flour sifted with tltree teaspoonfuls of baking pow der. Steam one and one-half hours and serve with Foamy Sauce. P.e."t one egg, add one cupful of powdered sugar mixed with two tablespoonfuls of softened 'butter, a pinch of salt and a little flavoring; then fold In one cupful of whipped cream.
