WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH LOWLY RHUBARB MANY APPETIZING DISHES CAN BE CONCOCTED FROM IT IN ADDITION TO PIE Government Recommends it as a Substitute for Fruit and Gives a Number of Recipes—Is Spring Tonic. The rhubarb in your garden ready for use now has many possibilities. In addition to the delicious rhubarb sauce and rhubarb pie, there are many other ways of serving it. For some of these ways recipes have been tested in the experimental kitchen of the Office of Home Economics, United States Department of Agriculture. If you will make use of them, they will lengthen your list of favorite spring dishes and afford your family more opportunity for saying "That's fine! You're a wonderful cook." Half a dozen clumps of rhubarb, whose acid stalks make a good substitute for fruit, should provide a supply all summer for a family of average size. Here are some tested recipes: RHUBARB SOUFFLE 4 cups rhubarb, 1 tablespoon fat, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 cup sugar, ½ cup milk, ½ cup pearl tapioca, 2 cup swater, ½ teaspoon salt, 2 cups sweetened rhubarb sauce, 1 teaspoon vanilla. Soak tapioca in water until soft. Put in double boiler and cook until clear, adding more water if necessary. Then add salt and rhubarb sauce. When cool, flavor with vanilla. Chill and serve with cream. RHUBARB BETTY Wash tender rhubarb stalks and cut in pieces about an inch long. Use 1½ cups cut rhubarb to 1 cup bread crumbs. If the crumbs are very dry, moisten slightly with water. Grease baking dish and put layer of crumbs sprinkled with cinnamon or nutmeg, then a layer of rhubarb and 3 or 4 tablespoons of corn syrup, together with the same amount of sugar. Dot with butter. Repeat until dish is full, covering the top with buttered bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes and brown on top. This may be served hot with or without sauce. PEOPLE MAY VOTE ON REORGANIZATION There are indications that the people of California, at the 1920 election, will be given an opportunity to vote on a reorganization of the State government along efficiency and economy lines. During the last campaign there was much talk of reorganization, but the legislature came and went without accomplishing the job. It now appears that instead of weakening, the demand for efficiency and economy is growing stronger. In this connection the following statement was recently issued by Will H. Fisher, executive officer of Tax Payers' Association of California. only by united effort successfully combat "The use of pot proven the most successful controlling the arsyrups containing found most effective of very satisfactory now on the market purchased at drug houses, or one may government formula and now carried by those who wish this given: "Twelve pounds s water, one-fourth ounce Boil thirty minutes fourths ounce sodium half pint hot water; and add two pound syrup mixture forated parasined pan are tacked in convert the basement of the "An ordinary Mass forated lid and con saturated with the good.

Half a dozen clumps of rhubarb, whose acid stalks make a good substitute for fruit, should provide a supply all summer for a family of average size. Here are some tested recipes: RHUBARB SOUFFLE 4 cups rhubarb, 1 tablespoon fat. 2 tablespoons flour. 1 cup sugar, ½ cup milk. 2 eggs. 2 tablespoons sugar. Wash rhubarb and cut into small pieces. Add only as much water as is necessary to prevent burning. Add 1 cup sugar when rhubarb has reached the boiling point, and boil until well cooked and tender. Pour off the juice and put the pulp in bottom of greased baking dish. Melt fat, add flour, and gradually hot milk. When well thickened pour into yolks of eggs beaten until thick and mixed with 2 tablespoons sugar. Cool, cut, and fold in whites of eggs beaten stiff. Pour mixture over rhubarb and bake in slow oven 40 minutes or until firm. Serve at once with the rhubarb juice as sauce. This recipe will make 6 average servings. RHUBARB BAKED WITH RAISINS. Wash rhubarb and cut in half-inch slices. For a pound of rhubarb take ½ cup raisins and 1 cup sugar. Cover raisins with boiling water and let cook until the pulp is tender and the water evaporated to 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls. Sprinkle rhubarb, raisins and sugar in a baking dish and let cook in the oven or on top of the range until rhubarb is tender but not broken. Prunes may be used instead of raisins. RHUBARB MARMALADE 1½ cups unpeeled rhubarb, ¾ cup shredded pineapple, g cup ground carrot, 1¼ cups sugar, 1 lemon, 1 teaspoon salt. Cool carrot in enough boiling salted water to cover. When tender, add shredded pineapple and rhubarb cut in slices ¼ inch thick and lemon quartered lengthwise and cut in thin slices. Cook ingredients slowly, stirring as little as possible until thick. This recipe makes three glasses marmalade. RHUBARB GELATINE PUDDING 2 tablespoons gelatine, ½ cup cold water, 2 cups rhubarb juice, 1 cup boiling water, reorganization of the State government along efficiency and economy lines. During the last campaign there was much talk of reorganization, but the legislature came and went without accomplishing the job. It now appears that instead of weakening, the demand for efficiency and economy is growing stronger. In this connection the following statement was recently issued by Will H. Fisher, executive officer of Tax Payers' Association of California. "It is encouraging to note the many expressions which are coming from all parts of the State, urging that there be a direct vote on State reorganization. The failure of the legislature to enact Assembly Bill No. 1089, involving the fundamental plan proposed by the Tax Payers' Association, seems to have disappointed the people, who had been given every reason to hope and expect that the legislature would enact such an economy measure. Hence the strong insistence on popular action by the initiative process. A reorganization law may be submitted n that manner." "The State of Illinois has reorganized, and great benefits have followed. Idaho reorganized this winter. A reorganization scheme is under consideration in Oregon. A proposal of reorganization will be laid before the next New York legislature. Ohio is studying reorganization, and there is a similar story from other states, which are coming to understand that governmental affairs must be placed on a business basis if the people are to receive satisfactory service without being subjected to a crushing tax burden. "California, which has been a leader in so many other matters, should not lag when it comes to putting its governmental house in order in conformity with approved modern ideas of efficiency and economy." HOW TO EXTERMINATE THE ARGENTINE ANT Farm Advisor Wahlberg Says It Can be Controlled by Poison. The farm advisor's office regularly receives requests for information regarding the control of Argentine ants, both in the home and in the orange grove. "There is no use denying that the Argentine ant is with us and has been for a number of years," says Farm Advisor Wahlberg. "Moreover, Cool carrot in enough boiling salted water to cover. When tender, add shredded pineapple and rhubarb cut in slices ¼ inch thick and lemon quartered lengthwise and cut inthin slices. Cook ingredients slowly, stirring as little as possible until thick. This recipe makes three glasses marmalade. RHUBARB GELATINE PUDDING 2 tablespoons gelatine, ½ cup cold water, 2 cups rhubarb juice. 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup sugar, ½ teaspoon lemon extract. Make rhubarb juice by cooking four cups of diced rhubarb with one cup of sugar until tender; then strain off the juice. Soak the gelatine in cold water five minutes and dissolve in boiling water. Add sugar and stir until dissolved, then add rhubarb juice. Strain into a mold first dipped in cold water and chill. This amount will make six average servings. This recipe is particularly useful as a means of using the juice when a dish requiring only the pulp of the rhubarb is made. If desired it may be served with diced fruit. RHUBARB BAVARIAN CREAM ... 2-3 tablespoon granulated gelatine, 2 tablespoons cold water, 1 cup rhubarb pulp made by boiling, until tender, 4 cups of rhubarb with 1 to 2 cups sugar, according to taste: ½ cup sugar, ½ teaspoon lemon juice. Soak gelatine in cold water. Add sugar to rhubarb pulp, lemon juice, and soaked gelatine; chill in pan of ice water, stirring constantly. When it begins to thicken fold in whipped cream, mold and chill. This recipe will fill six average-sized individual molds. RHUBARB TAPIOCA Farm Advisor Wahlberg Says It Can be Controlled by Poison. The farm advisor's office regularly receives requests for information regarding the control of Argentine ants, both in the home and in the orange grove. "There is no use denying that the Argentine ant is with us and has been for a number of years," says Farm Advisor Wahlberg. "Moreover, in many sections it is on the increase, fast becoming a serious nuisance in the home. More recently it has been established that this same ant is very intimately connected with the increase in mealybug infestation in certain citrus sections of the state. There is, therefore, considerable apprehension on the part of many persons as to the seriousness of this pest, which apprehension has been somewhat heightened by recent popular accounts of the terrible depredations of this insect in the Southern States where it is claimed that not only does it protect insect pests on the oragne trees, but actually eats the eyes out of the buds and eventually kills the trees. These last reports are declared by those in a position to know as absolutely erroneous, and they further state that there is no need for any great scare regarding the inroads of this pest. "The Argentine ant can be very effectively controlled, both in the home and in the orchard. I well remember an infestation in one of the San Francisco Bay cities some years ago, which resulted in an entirely successful campaign for its eradication. Since it can be readily controlled, it is very desirable that concerted effort be expended to keep it down. But ANAHEIM GAZETTE only by united effort can this pest be successfully combated. "The use of poisoned baits has proven the most successful means of controlling the ant in the home. Syrups containing arsenic have been found most effective, and a number of very satisfactory preparations are now on the market. These may be purchased at drug stores and seed houses, or one may ask for the government formula ant poison, which is now carried by many dealers. For those who wish this formula it is here given: "Twelve pounds sugar, eight pints water, one-fourth ounce tartaric acid. Boil thirty minutes; dissolve three-fourths ounce sodium arsenate in one-half pint hot water; cool; mix together and add two pounds honey. The resulting syrup mixture is placed in perforated parafined paper bags, which are tacked in convenient places about the basement of the house. "An ordinary Mason jar with perforated lid and containing a sponge saturated with the syrup is also very good. The commercial preparations come prepared in some perforated container of one kind or another. In order to be effective, all other food stuffs on which ants might feed should be placed where the ants cannot get at them. One should not expect an immediate disappearance of the ants, for in order to kill the colony the poison must be carried by the workers to the queen. It sometimes takes several days to show any noticeable effects. "The necessity for control of the Argentine ant in the orchard lies in the fact that by preventing the action of natural parasites it favors the growth and spread of certain scale pests. Of these the most important by far in this county is the mealybug." The solution of this highly important and vital problem has been delayed all too long, and one of the first measures to be taken up by the new Congress will be this." EDUCATION DEPARTMENT IS URGED ON CONGRESS Towner Has Bill to Promote Americanization of Allens and Obliteration of Illiteracy. The formation of a new department of education and a seat for the head of it in the President's cabinet is provided for in a bill which will be introduced in the House immediately after the opening of the special session by Representative Horace Towner, of Iowa, a member of the committee on education. It is the aim of Towner and many of his Republican colleagues to co-ordinate all of the educational work now done by other bureaus of the government in various executive departments into the one central agency for giving a new impetus to the education of all the people. One of the most important parts of his plan which has been urged by the American Federation of Labor and the American Educational Association would be that for the removal of illiteracy. Such instruction the bill provides, shall deal with the common-school branches and the duties of citizenship, and when advisable shall prepare for some definite occupation. In order to encourage the States in the promotion and support of education an appropriation is made of $100,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921.. Three-fortieths of this is given the States for the instruction of illiterates of ten years of age and over. The latter sum will be appropriated to AUTOMOBILE CLUB MEETS JUNE 20 Deputy Revenue Collector Explains War Taxes to Garage Men. The annual meeting of the Orange County Automobile Trades Association will be held on June 20 at James' in this city. This decision was reached at the regular meeting of the association held at Damewood and Chapman's, Orange. O. A. Haley and C. R. Allen have steered the association the past year as president and secretary, respectively, and statements by the secretary showed that the organization is gaining in strength throughout the county. Delegates to the state convention will be elected at the meeting. E. B. Burns, deputy revenue collector for Orange county, was present and informed members on certain points with reference to war taxes. He advised that every automobile part made in a garage was liable to a tax and that garage men should watch this very closely. Every manufactured product carries a tax. Parts in stock are taken care of by the manufacturers. For truck parts a tax of 3 per cent and for pleasure cars a tax of 3 per cent is collectable. The deputy collector also called attention to the fact that cars kept for rental purposes are liable to the tax, the license being $10 per year for seven passengers or less and $20 over seven passenger machines. Many points as to the tax on auto supplies, and conditions under which the tax should be collected, were discussed. Garage men frequently are called upon by undertakers to help them out in an emergency by supplying cars for funerals. Garage men who do not FESS ASKS SOLUTION OF RAILWAY PROBLEM Immediate Return to Owners With Assurance to Public of Efficiency and Security. "The country has inevitably suffered much from uncertainty induced by both the situation about the peace table and the absence of Congress," said Chairman Simeon D. Fess, of the National Republican Congressional Committee, to your correspondent. "The report of a rail deficit of $130,000,000 the first three months of the year emphasizes the necessity of immediate solution of this problem. The anomalous situation of the greatest railway system in the world, representing one of the most important agencies of prosperity, rapidly deteriorating not only in inefficiency of service but in stability of finance and rolling stock, at the moment when it is carrying the largest traffic at the highest charge on the public ever paid, is too apparent to warrant comment. Under government control operating expenses have so increased that the railway business faces bankruptcy which may demand a continuance of the nationall treasury. "Congress must meet this situation. In the solution of it the owners of the roads who have invested their capital and have taken all of the risk must instruct the bill provides, shall deal with the common-school branches and the duties of citizenship, and when advisable shall prepare for some definite occupation. In order to encourage the States in the promotion and support of education an appropriation is made of $100,000,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921.. Three-fortieths of this is given the States for instruction of illiterates of ten years of age and over. The latter sum will be appropriated to the States in the proportions which their respective illiterate populations bear to the total illiterate population of the United States, not including outlying possessions. Three-fortieths of the total sum is to be used to teach immigrants ten years of age and over to speak and read the English language and to understand and appreciate the spirit and purpose of the American government and the duties of citizenship in a free country. This sum also will be appropriated to the States in the proportions which their foreign-born populations bear to the total foreign-born population of the United States. In order to encourage the States to equalize educational opportunities $50,000,000 will be used for public, elementary and secondary schools for the partial payment of teachers' salaries, for providing better instruction and extending school terms, especially in rural schools and schools in sparsely settled localities, and for the extension and adaptation of public libraries for educational purposes. This sum will be appropriated to the several States in proportion the number of children between the ages of 6 and 21 bear to the total and in proportion to the number of school teachers to the total throughout the country. THE CHERIMONYA A fruit little known in California, but wonderfully enjoyed by those who live in the frostless belt, is the cherimoya, or more often called the custard apple. It is not a good keeper or shipper, which will also affect its commercial value. This fruit was introduced into the State in 1871, and is found growing in protected nooks from Santa Barbara to San Diego, usually near the coast. Most of the cherimoyas in this State ripen in the spring though there are varieties which ripen in the fall. If one has a mind to experiment with rare fruits it might be The deputy collector also called attention to the fact that cars kept for rental purposes are liable to the tax, the license being $10 per year for seven passengers or less and $20 over seven passenger machines. Many points as to the tax on auto supplies, and conditions under which the tax should be collected, were discussed. Garage men frequently are called upon by undertakers to help them out in an emergency by supplying cars for funerals. Garage men who do not keep rental cars often accommodate the undertakers by sending out a machine. Burns held that where this is done the garage man is liable to the tax. Stage companies usually have rent machines and the law is interpreted as a protection to these lines of business. DEMAND FOR LOWER RATES Seeking to reduce freight rates on citrus fruits East and to recover damages for excessive collections made during past two years when the higher rates were in effect, the California Citrus League presented a mass of testimony before M. A. Pattison, examiner of the inter-state commerce commission in Los Angeles, to show that the present rates are excessively high and unjust. The hearing was held as the result of the League's action against Walker D. Hines, director-general of railways, in the U.S. District courtroom. A large number of citrus growers attended the hearing, which was to be adjourned this afternoon for a few days. Orange county orange, lemon, and grapefruit growers have been called upon to pay the increased rates, along with other state growers, and are vitally interested in the present hearing. Up to June 28, 1918, the freight rate on oranges from California to Atlantic Coast points was $1.15 per 100 pounds, and on lemons $1 per 100 pounds, with lower rates to certain western cities. On the above date, Director-General McAdoo, to bridge the chasm between the receipts and expenditures of the American railways, growing out of government control, arbitrarily, it is declared, increased all rates on California citrus fruits by 25 per cent, making the rate on oranges, $1.44 per 100 pounds, and on lemons, $1.25 per 100 pounds. at the moment when it is carrying the largest traffic at the highest charge on the public ever paid, is too apparent to warrant comment. Under government control operating expenses have so increased that the railway business faces bankruptcy which may demand a continuance of the national treasury. "Congress must meet this situation. In the solution of it the owners of the roads who have invested their capital and have taken all of the risk must have their rights respected. But the roads cannot be run for profit to the owners alone. In the solution the employees must be considered in the assurance of steady employment under the best possible conditions at a scale of wage that will enable them to maintain the American standard of living. These conditions they have a right to ask. But the railroads cannot be run for the payment of wages alone. There should also be provided for the protection of security holders in order to secure a ready market for the sake of needed improvements demanded by the growing business of the country. In the solution also the public must be considered. The people will ask economical and efficient service as well as security of transportation. "The remedy is such modification of the law touching the railways as to permit immediate return to their owners, making them responsible for the service. There should be rigid governmental supervision so as to permit them to run as regional systems in order to satisfy and protect all of the elements concerned. The public will insist upon the retention of whatever improvements have been induced by government ownership, such as common terminals, interchange of tickets, routing over shorter lines, and so on, Under escort of Department Commander Roberts, Post Commander Maryatt and a dozen other men, together with several women, of high rank in the G.A.R. conventions, Mrs. Eliza Shepard of Glen Ellen, sister of Jack London, went before Justice Cox Friday and escaped a fine. Mrs. Shepard was attending the encampment gatherings. She came by automobile, and was driving around the city when Motorcycle Officer Ballard arrested her because the lights of her automobile were not deflected to comply with the State law. Mrs. Shepard explained her situation to some of the G.A.R. officials. They all got together and made an attack upon Justice Cox. Cox threw up his hands and surrendered. He saw he was among friends, for he is a G.A.R. member himself. When Mrs. Shepard showed the judge that she some time ago went to a garage and had her lights adjusted to comply with the law and that she had every reason to believe she was safe, Cox dismissed the case. A salary of $1,860 to $3,000 per year awaits the men who are to be appointed as engineers in forest products, according to the District Forester, at San Francisco. The examination, for this is a Civil Service position, is to be held on May 27, and will consist of a series of questions covering education and experience. Competitors will not be required to report at any specific place. Ratings will be based upon the sworn statements in the applications and upon corroborative evidence adduced by the Commission. All applicants must have had an educational training equivalent to that required for graduation in mechanical civil, mining, hydraulic, electrical, architectural, or chemical engineering, and, in addition, at least three years practical experience in engineering work, of which not less than one year must have been in a position of responsible charge, or upon research in testing materials.

Victor L. Berger has issued an appeal to his colleagues in Congress to permit him to serve the term to which he was elected rather than the one to which he was appointed, and appends the editorials which brought him into collision with the courts. An interesting feature of these editorials is that they prove that Mr. Berger was able to write many pages of matter about the war full of denunciations of everything and everybody connected with it—except Germany.
