THE HERALD
SCHOOL WILL
CLOSE TODAY
Grand Prize Will Be
Awarded At Early
Session; Meats to
Be Last Subject
With steadily increasing interest
shewn as The Brownsville Herald
cooking school draws to a close, a
record attendance was expected for
1 riday afternoon, the last session,
which was scheduled to open at 1:30
p. m. because of the football game
Mrs. Myra Oliver Dougan had select
ed meats as her subject for the last
class. The grand award for the
w**k, a Universal in-a-drawer gas
range, given by the Rio (irande Val
'•F g*s company, was also to be
• warded at this time.
About 425 women. the largest
crowd yet in attendance, were pres
ent Thursday afternoon for Mrs.
I Dougan’* class in cake making, “the
millinery of cooking.” as she calls
it. She took up the two types of
standard eake«. the butter rakes, in
cluding the white cake, and the vel
low- cup rake, and the sponge cake,
and gave basic recipes for each,
from which the innumerable varia
tion known to cake-makers every
where. From these she made sev
eral different kinds of fancy cake
on the stage as illustrations, and
suggested novelties, as the un«;de
down cake and the volcano dessert.
Make* fakes
For her white cake, Mrs. Pougan
used the following recipe 3 cups
flour, sifted, 7-8 cup frisco, 2 cups
sugar. 3 level teaspoons baking
powder, 1-4 teaspoon salt, the whites
ef 5 eggs, 1 1-2 cups sweet milk,
and 1 teaspoon flavoring, blended,
1-2 orange and 1-2 lemon. In mix
:ng her cake, she explained and dem
onstrated the proper way to meas
ure the flour and other ingredients,
and the best method of mixing. A
clever method of measuring solid
shortening was shown. Mrs. Pougan
filling a measuring cup half full of
water, then filling with frisco to ob
tain an even 1-2 cun of the fat. She
also advised her audience to use
about 1-8 cup less of the vegetable
fats than of the measurements of
butter called for by a recipe, and to
add 1-4 teaspoon salt to each cup.
The reason for dry cakes. Mrs. Pou
gare said, came from a too-dry hat
ter, ard She told her audience that
all cakes should he mixed with
enough liquid that the hatt»r would
run almost fn a rihbcn from the
heater, regardless of the exact
amount specified in a given recipe.
She
recommended an oven tempera
ture of about 250 degrees. Instead of
the usual 300 for baking rakes, be
cause of the high heatinv quality of
leca! gns. With the white cake she
made a delicious upside-down cake,
by pouring the hatter on top of a
layer of hrown sugar, nuts, sliced
pineapple and cherries, and haking.
Thik results in a very rich, yet eas
ily made dessert.
Host The> Were Made
Her yellow cup cake she made
from 1-2 cup ( risen, 1 ci-p sugar.
1 3-4 cups flour. 2 teaspoons baking
powder, 1-4 teaspoon salt. 3 whole

decessor, has indicated that he

direction which earned hwn the ap

j vanilla flavoring. Ordinary bread
fiour was used for this cake. She
| recommended this for a quick des
i *ert to be made in an emergency,
' and gave a lemon sauce which
would he very good with it, as well
n useful ,^>r many other purposes.
This was composed of 5 egg yolks,
placed in the top of a double boiler
and beaten until thick, with 1-2 cup
sugar an 1-2 cup sweet milk added,
bor flavor she added tho juice of
ore lemon, or 2 tablespoonfuls, the
measurement being given for the
benefit of users of the large and
juicy \ alley lemons. This was then
placed on the fire and cooked until
thick.
Among her helpful tips for tho
| < ake haker, Mr*. Dougan told the
listeners to place a crepe paper nap
kin or paper towel on the cake rack
to prevent the cake sticking, and to
grease only the bottom, never the
sides of the pan when baking rakes
for decorating, thus avoiding parti
cles of browned ffour sticking to the
sides.
Make* Novelties
Mr*. Dougan made a large angel
food rake for decorating, using the
following recipe: 1 1-2 cup egg
whites, 1 1-2 cup sugar (granulated 1. I
I 1 cup Swansdown cake flour, 1 full
teaspoon of cream of tartar, and a !
blended flavoring of 1-2 teaspoon I
lemon, and J-2 teaspoon almond.
This she cut in slices, replacing the i
slices as layers with a fruit filling;
1 made of the lemon sauce, da'es,
cherries. 1 orange, pineapple and
nuts, chopped fine, after the fruit*
had been carefully drained, and iced
it on the outside with a marshmal
low filling, and decorated it with the
pastry tube. This she calls a filled
angel food, and is an original recipe.
W hilc decorating the cakes, she
made a pretty novelty suitable for
an announcement party, cutling two
hearts from a plain sheet of the
white cake, icing them with the
marshmallow, and decorating dainl-i
ily. To use the scraps left, shf
mixed them with enough of the
lemon same to make them stick, and
rolled them into halls. These she
Hipped into a dark jelly which had
bei n whipped to a liquid, and then
rolled them in chopped nuts, mak
ing a delicious confection. The vol
cano dessert was made of a round of
a round of the plain white cake, on
which w’hs placed a slice of pine
apple. wiped dry, and a half of a
canned pear, all of which was cov
ered with the marshmallow frosting,
forming a cone shape, and topped
with a cherry for the flame.
Many Awards Made
To keep angel food cake from
sticking to the plate, Mrs. Dougan
advised sprinkling the dish with a
little confectioner’s sugar. She also
warned her hearers never to wa-n
a sponge cake pan with soapy water,
and told a questioner that such a
pan should never be greased.
Prizes awarded at the Thursday
session included a set of miniature
cooking vessels from Garr.a's hard
ware. and several hand-painted chi
na pieces given by The Herald. Six
loaves of Real bread were also given,
as well as six pound* of Roseland

STEWART ASKS
TO BE FREED
WASHINGTON. Nov. 1«. i,7\—1
Justice Jenning* Bailey in District of
Columbia supreme court took under
advisement today a defense motion
in the perjury trial of Robert W.
Stewart, of the Indiana Standard Oil |
company, that he direct a verdict’of
not guilty.
Arguing the motion, defense coun
sel contended the government bad
failed to support its charge that
Stewart had falsely sworn before a
senate committee that he had no
knowledge of the hond transactions
of the Continental Trading company,
involved in the Teapot Dome oil case. I
As the last witne*s. Senator Nye.
of North Dakota, testified the oil .
man had sworn to the senate public
lands committee last February that
“he had never received personally”
any of the bonds of the Continental
(Trading company.
Discussing the propriety of the i
public lands committee meetings last '
February, before which the oil mm
is charged with having sworn falsely
that he know nothing about bonds of
the Continental Trading company. |
Frank J. Hogan dwelt particularly on
the lark of a quorum when Stewart
appeared.

OPERETTA IS
FINEST SHOW
SEEN IN CITY
‘Naughty Marietta’
Charms Audience;
Musical Numbers
Entrancing
"Naughty Marietta.” Victor Her
bert’s opera comique. presented at
the Capitol theater here Thursday
matinee and evening, was crammed
to overflowing with beautiful mel
odies sung by excellent voices and
played by an orchestra that seemed
inspired with the spirit of the late
"Master of Melody.”
Nothing, in fact.•was lacking in
this presentation which was by far
the finest ever to appear this far
south on the mainland of the United
States and those persons who failed
to attend either of the two shows
missed a rare treat in entertainment.
The play is being presented in the
municipal auditorium in Harlingen
tontght.
Although the matinee played to a
scattered ragged house, the night
show had an audience that practic
ally filled the theater and responded
with whole hearted applause after
each special musical number or dance.
To attempt to pick an outstanding
star from among the leads would be
as difficult as attempting to find the
proverbial needle in the haystack.
From the leads to the most minor
parts, the play was well rounded and
presented a finish unknown to the
usual run of road attractions.
The highest flaunted words of
praise beggar a description of the
"slave dance” as presented by Eliza
beth Arens and Vaughn Atkinson.
These two young people have reached
the peak in the dancing field. Miss
Arens is the personification of grace
while her partner is past master of
the art of muscular control.
In reviewing the musical numbers
presented, there were at least four
that will remain long in the memory
of those attending. Thev were not
new to the music lovers of this city,
perhaps, for "Naughty Marietta
made its premier many years ago.
“’Neath the Southern Moon.” sung
by Adah, a quadroon slave, (Julia de
Bevueltasi; "The Dream Melody.
Captain Dick Warrington. (Ferdi
nand Zegeh; "Naughty Marietta,”
Marietta DAltena (Era Briggs)
and “I’m Falling in Love with Some
one.” Capt. Dick Warrington, (Fer
dinand Zcgel), were the four lilting
numbers that reached out across the
footlights to find a permanent place
in the memories of music lovers who
attended the light opera.
The singing and acting of the four
leads which included Era Briggs as
"Marietta." Ferdinand Zegel as “(’apt.
Dick Warrington, Julia de Re\ uelta?
as "Ada. the quadroon slave,” and
James Blaine as "Ktienne Grandet,”!
left nothing to the imagination.
Their voices were beautiful and their
acting excellent.
Voices of the chorus were far
above the average and blended per- I
fectly.
Hat* off to the ladies of the
chorua.
These domely young ladies that ;
composed the hack ground of the en- j
tertainment lacked nothing, and how-. ■
Each was a beauty winner in her I
own right and their dancing was
graceful even to the nth degree.
Taken all in all, Brownsville
theater goers have never had the op-,
port unity of seeing a better show.
The entire presentation was art in ]
its finest sense.
• redit for bringing such a presen
tation here must go to John Fan- ,
ning. Brownsville amusement man ]
and city booster.

In Blizzard On
‘Barren Lands'
PRINCE ALBERT, Sask., Nov. 16.
—{£**—■ A party of seven men, miss
ing since November 3 when they left
for Fort Churchill for the terminus
of the Hudson Bay Railway Line, are I
believed to have perished in a bliz
xard which swept the "barren lands"
of Northern Manitoba shortly after
they started their 100 mile journey.
Word cf the blizzard was brought
here by A. Johnstone who with a
party of eleven left Fort Churchill
November 2, arriving at the railroad
terminus November 5.
Johnstone said he and his party
took the most frequented trail, the
one along the Deer river, and then
counted themselves luck to arrive
safe, as they were without shelter
tents and had little food. The other
party was no better equipped and
Johnstone believed they could not
have survived this long.
An unsuccessful search by men in
airplanes and Indian guides with dog
teams has been carried on for the
men since November 5.
