Washington, D. C. After more than
three years of waiting, tho United
States has initiated steps to obtain
funding settlements from its foreign
debtors. The powers to whom this
nation made war or post-war loans
have been made acquainted with
American opinion that some move
should be made by them toward liquid
ation.
Although officials of this govern
ment insisted they held no desife to
press unduly for payments, they feel
(and Franco, Italy, Belgium, Rumania
and Czechoslovakia has been so ad
vised) that tho American government
Is entitled to have fund proposals
submitted.
Tho other principal debtors, Jugo
slavia, Esthonia, Latvia and Greece,
are also aware of Washington's view,
but it was not made clear whether
American diplomatic officials in those
countries have been asked to convey
settlement suggestions.
France has been informed by Am
bassador Herrick that the American
government would be pleased if a
French commission would be sent to
discuss any funding proposal. Inas
much as France is now the largest
debtor, this phase of the general debt
move was regarded as not without
some significance. The French debt
appeared to be the hub about which
a gigantic debt wheel revolved.
Simultaneously with the disclosure
of the move to develop action on the
part of foreign nations, an expression
emanated from official sources that
the American government could net
permit a distinction between loans
for prosecution of the world war,
those for post-war relief or unpaid
bills on the sale of surplus supplies.
This was regarded as an answer to
the several statements in European
capitals in which mention was made
and differences set down between tho
various kinds of loans.
While details of the government's
move remained undisclosed, there was
evidence that the information given
the foreign powers was tantamount to
a circular note, reminding them that
tho American debt commission was
created in February, 1922, for tho pur
pose of negotiatlug funding settle
ments, and that only five nations had
availed themselves of the privileges
thereby extended. The treasury holds
demand noles of all debtor nations
save Great Britain, Finland, Poland,
Hungary, and Lithuania, to whom it
gave financial assistance. A billion
and a half dollars in interest has ac
crued on tho demand notes.

HINTS AND THINGS
TO KEEP sandwiches fresh for an
other day. place them on a larce
plate and cover with another, then
wrap !n a towel wrung out of cold wa
ter. This method keeps them moist
without being soaked in any part.
When making layer cake, bake three
layers. Cut one Into half and use with
a filling of whipped cream. Put the
other together with a boiled frosting,
chopped raisins and a few nuts. This
will keep fresh for several days and
you have two cakes with the work of
preparing one.
In most homes there will be an oc
casional slice of dry bread. This mav
be soaked, added to sour milk and
used for griddle cakes or make:
Queen of Bread Pudding.
Take one pint each of milk nnd
bread crumbs, the yolks of two eggs,
one cupful of sugar, a tnblespoonful
of melted butter, the juice of half a
lemon. Beat the whites of the eggs
very stiff, add two tablespoonfuls of
powdered sugar, mix the pudding and
pour Into a baking dish, cover with a
layer of powdered sugar, then lemon
Juice and top with the meringue. Bake
until firm. Serve with cream or dot
with bits of jelly and serve the pud
ding hot.
Pineapple Sandwiches.
These are nice to serve with a cup
of tea or on Iced drink. Take one
cupful of shredded pineapple, three-
quarters of a cupful of sugar, and
the Juice of half a lemon. Cook until
thick. Wbeu cold spread on sponge
drops cut Into halves, put together
sandwich fashion.
Veal Birds.
Take thin veal steak cut from the
leg. , Cut Into pieces two by four
Inches. Lay on a piece of salt pork,
roll and fasten with a toothpick, cover
with seasoned Hour, brown in enough
butter to brown well. Place in a bak
ing dish and cover with rich milk.
Bake In a slow oven for half an hour.
Serve the thickened sauce poured
around the veal birds. The pieces of
meat may be cut larger and any de
sired bread stuttlng used; roll up and
cook as abo e.
TOV might despair of the good
sense of anyone who declared that
black was white, and yet it seems that
sometimes the surname Black with Its
first cousin, Blake, has much the same
meaning as White. These names In
some cases may mean black but It Is
said on good authority they are more
often derived from an old word, blue,
kindred to bleak nnd bleach, which
meant pale.
John Black or John Blake then sim
ply meant John of a pale complexion,
and John White was usually named
for the same reason. When these
names did come from black, us they
sometimes did, they had reference
either to a dark complexion, dark
hair and eyes, or to black clothes. The
Black Prince of English history was
known by the color of his coat of
mull nnd so it was that some of the
Blacks and Whites and Browns are
descended, no doubt, from ancestors
who came to be known by the color of
their clothes.
The Blakes have always been of a
scientific and Inquiring turn of mind.
They have not been willing to take
things for granted. In this country
Francis Blake was an Inventor and
Clarence John Blake was a Boston
physician of distinction in the last
century. George Smith and Horner
Crane Blake were well-known naval
officers In this country and Robert
Blake In England was a noted admiral
and general at sea.
