For if the opponents of the Communists can control the convention, there can be no solidarity in the % and if the Communists control there can be no hope s. It would have been the part of good citizens, too, for those in the convention, failing to win their open- ing’ battle with Communists, to refuse to have anything to do with such forces, openly bent on the destruction of the government. The third party convention may call forcibly to the at- tention of the people of the country the fact that the Com- munist organization is no fanciful creation of the imagina- tion of an over-zealous official, and to demonstrate that the Russian Internationale is actively engaged in promoting its own kind of revolution in this nation. The statemeyt of Sec- retary of State Hughes regarding the activity of the Soviet in the United States, assailed vigorously at the time and ridi- culed by many, may be recalled with much emphasis by many citizens. -#The menace of a sporadic new party is made more em- Should it achieve phatic by the proceedings in St. Paul. success it can only do so with the aid of forces of destruc- tion, it can only lead the nation toward the disastrous con- tinental bloc system and minority rule, and it can only serve to break down the steadying influence of a great party or- ganization, such as the country now has in its major political parties. HONKERS Motor vehicle owners in the United States paid over 471 million dollars in taxes last year. There are only 430,000 miles of surfaced highways in the «whole country. So auto and motorcycle owners in one year }«y more than $1000 taxes for every mile of good roads. The hele made in the American pocketbook by autos re- minds us of one of the craters on the moon. But the auto is easily three-fourths a necessity, only one-fourth a pleasure device. It is cheap at any price, considering the time it saves. Time, after all, is the thing of greatest value among our many forms of wealth. NOT THE RIGHT SPIRIT With an election approaching on June 25 complaints are voiced in many quarters against the apparent lethargy of the voters who must decide the issues. This is not a healthy condition. Better that some bitterness creep into the cam- paign than that there be no interest in it. It is the duty of every citizen to inform himself of the issues before him, of *==+the record and the calibre of the candidates, and then it is his duty to cast his ballot on June 25. Lack of interest on the part of the voters at large is one of the most dangerous conditions in any democratic government. SCENT Everything is going wrong. The latest is that flowers are losing their scent. Scientific cross-breeding by florists, to inerease the size and color of blossoms, is at the expense of the perfume. The plant energy that naturally would go to make fragrance is used up by artificially stimulated growth. Nature always exacts her penalty—her price. The loss of floral fragrance alarms botanists. There are 4300 species of cultivated flowers, but only 420 have an agree- cble odor. Of the 308 varieties of violets, only 13 emit per- fume. HEE EE? A GU ne COBWEBS Some forms of wealth are beyond price. In the liquor collection that was left by the late J. P. Morgan, are bottles of Napoleon’s brandy and a cognac made in 1795. Even a prohibitionist might be tempted to sneak a drink from such « treasure. In our large cities are plenty of gunmen who would com- mit murder for one bottle of the 1795 cognac. ES tie Me STEEL - ‘We still live in the Age of Steel. And this country of ours last. year made over three-fifths of the world’s pig iron, from which steel is manufactured. In one recent month Americans made almost as much pig iron as*in the entire year 1881. Pride in country begins with knowledge of its strength ond power. In iron and steel, at least, we’re more important than all the rest of the world combined. FUTURE A bottle holds just so many drinks. The ground contains just so much iron, copper, coal, oil, gas and soil fertility. _ .We’re using up these natural resources fast. They exist in such gigantic quantities that it'll be a thousand years or more before they’re exhausted. But humanity has many . thousands of years to live. Problem of making a living will becoming increasingly difficult. INVESTMENTS - The French people have 5000 million dollars invested in foreign countries, not counting Russian loans which have vanished in smoke.- Their income from these sources is 250 in‘Jlions a year. That’s a return of five per cent, which should énlighten’ suckers who think they can get something for nothing. A Frenchman’s wisdom in investments amounts to genius. .

RECALLING LEWIS AND CLARK) In placing markers on the trail | followed by Lewis and around the rapids, of the Miss River in the neighborbood of Great Falls, Mont. the people of that} region are ng tribute 4 one of the greatest adventures Im American history. What Great Falls has done should be done all along the line of the explorers’ march, so that those who come af- ter may be reminded of the men wko blazed the first trail. Fortu- nately, a full and detailed account | of their route is to be found in al- most any good library, for the | journals of ‘Lewis and Clark are! beginning to receive the attention | which they deserve. Not that the yolumes possess unusual literary | merit. Clark appears to have been a matter-of-fact writer, recording little more than bare observations, whereas Lewis was given to elaborate descriptions of scenery. and adventures, more interesting for their information than for the manner of telling. Yet the record which these two men left makes tuost stories of the “Wild West” seem “stale, flat and unprofitable.” ‘The volumes may ‘be opened almost anywhere at random and are cer- i ield material of interest. s entry for June 14, 1805, mople, tells how he set forth on foot to examine the rapids of the Missouri, and enchanted come upon a great falls, and “bove it a long cz From a neighboring hill able ‘to look out over a v ing to the foothill great herds of buffaloes. the Missouri spread out into smooth, even and unruffled sheet of water of nearly a mile in width hearing on it’s watry bosome flocks of geese which feed at plea: ure in the delightful pasture on either border.” Near by he shot a buffalo, and had thardly discharged his gun when a “large white or rather brown” bear crept up on him and started to charge him. He not time to load, and the near- est tree was 300 yards away. He started to run, was followed by the ‘bear, and so decided to take to the water, where fhe and the bear stopped to look at each other, whereupon the latter turned: tail and fled. In the afternoon, while returning to camp, ihe svied an animal that at first he took for a wolf; but ay he approached, it crouched like: a cat about to spring. When he shot it disappeared into a burrow. After examining the tracks he decided it was “of the tiger kind.” Some moments later he was charged by three bull baffaloes, which, how- ever, like the bear, turned and ran when they got near him. This concluded this encounters with ani- mals for the day—apparently more exciting than usual, for he re- marked that they “wore the im- pression on my mind of inchant- ment.” Although it is clear that Captain Lewis had good imaginative and descriptive powers, and that his day’s record was full of adven- tures, it is also plain that ‘he was not a naturalist even by accident. To ‘him animals represented adven- tures ‘rather than specimens. ‘Otherwise he would not have been content to describe a bear as “white or brown” when it was either a grizzly or one of the small- er brown ibears, nor would he have wwictured an animal as like a wolf or one of the cats so loosely that his modern editor surmises it may have been a cougar—more famil- | jarly known as a mountain lion— which is practically never seen in the plains, and is rarely found by a burrow. °* Why quarrel with him on this score? His story is fascinating and told with that vividness which inheres in all true records of ad- venture. To ‘be sure, his spelling is more convenient than corre¢t, and his use of capitals distinctly individual. “I felt myself much fortiegued,” he wrote at the end of his day's narrative on that June 14, 119 years ago, “but eat a hearty supper and took a good night's rest, the weather being warm I had left my. leather over shirt and had woarn ‘only a yellow flannin one.” It is only nescessarwy to know how many helpings of buffalo steak he had at supper to live with him through his entire day.— New York Times.

Ten Million Ford ers in one parade, With Ford No. 10,000,000 sched- uled to cross the United States on | the Lincoln Highway, a genius for figures has worked out the matter of staging a parade of. the entire 10,000,000 Model’ T Fords. © Here's the way he figures it. The road selected is 24,840 miles long circling the earth at the equa- tor. He parks the Fords in one place’ at the side of the road, sets a pace of twenty miles an hour for the parade and starts the cars at in- says he has been to be a neighbor's CONDO And soon they come to the pansy ed. “Hello,” called a sweet voice, anu TWAS FASSING BY AGAIN SO’ 1 SAYS to MXYSECE VOL IWST DROP WA Have tervals of thirfy seconds.

The king swere it was. the finest fish: he everate. While you’ve eaten many a fish that tasted as good, it illustrates the phenomenal skill of ancient cooks. Cooking is sometimes classed as one of the lost arts. . The most famous course at banquets of rich Romans of old was humming-bird tongues, brought long distances by relays of swift runners. Today they'd use refrigerator cars | or airplanes. 7 Greek chefs of several thousand years ago were able to serye a whole pig, roasted on one side and boiled on the other, so skilfully prepared that the two parts were as.distinct as if cooked separately. Tasty? Well, the stuffing was saturated with a dozen or mofe kinds of wine. 4 ® A race of gluttons was the natural-development from this marvelous ancient cooking. A past-master of them, named Apicius, specialized at large shrimps. Hearing that the shrimps along the Atlantic coast were much larger, he actual- ly bought a ship, made the trip, was disappointed, ahd re- turned in deep melancholy.

Even the’ traditional Sunday dinner is losing out, in the number of courses if not in taste. : People are beginning to eat. scientifically, by calories— and getting the job finished as quickly. as possible, gulping. It’s just as well that cookery is becoming ~a ‘lost art, though, for fine cooks ruin more digestions than good cooks, by enticing to over-eating.
