(Official City, State and County Newspaper) TIME AND CHA There is a destiny which shapes our ends and our lives, but what a frail and inconspicuous destiny it is! One little incident change the whole tenor of a life, has made a succ out of a failure, has given fame and even immort: Jaseph Conrad, great writer of sea stories, became @ “sea-rover” because his first books as a Polish boy ‘were of the sea and exploration. What might he have been as a man if his library as a boy had been other than it was? Benjamin Franklin followed a vague inclination to ship from Boston to Philadelphia and became Pennsyl- vania’s leading citizen of his time, the spokesman for the American colonies and an immortal figure in American history. What might he have been had he continued in the employ of his brother’s print shop? Who can account for the chance dig of the spade which uncovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, the for- tunate discovery of the first oil well at Titusville, Pa. and the gold nugget which precipitated the rush of the forty-niners to California? Many of us can place our fingers on one happening, perhaps accidental, which was the deciding factor in the determination of our life’s work. A chance perusal of the classified advertising page of a newspaper has been this deciding factor for thousands. Such a thing 4s a news item has been known to serve as the one break in the wall of the rut. When Elbert Hubbard wrote that “man should fol- low the dictates of his passions” he did not mean that he should give full play to his desires, but that the subconscious inclinations of man are sooner to be obeyed than obstacle-finding, inspiration-dampening deliberation. THE READING HABIT That “a young man should read five hours a day and 50 acquire a great deal of knowledge” is a recommenda- tion with which those acquainted with Boswell‘s “Life of Johnson” are familiar, but which, however it may have been followed in the time of the great literary dictator himself, would seem to be sadly neglected in this modern era. It is to be feared that the preval- ence of the spirit of “getting by” with the minimum amount of effort has given but too much reason for the complaint of a college professor that the college man of today has practically no background of general reading. With the incessant pressure of class periods and the constant temptation to allow all his leisure time to be engrossed with various amusements, the college man has, perhaps, some excuse for his neglect of literature, but those in authority over him, who fail to take thd stand taken by a discriminating advertiser in pointing out that books are the foundation of culture, the source of lasting pleasure and the open sesame of modern (00 him as part fool, part lawbreaker, and a wholly dan- emotions. Had the tree-savers resorted to the second instead of the first plan of attack there might be more tree planting than tree cutting today. Precious trees have been saved and planted by pub- licity, propaganda, legislation, governmental appro- Priations and education, but vastly more successful as conservation tools have been that poetical title, “Wood- man, Spare That Tree,” and that classic couplet: “Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree.” BUT WHAT OF HIM WHO 1S HIT? It isn’t often that the speeder is given the benefit of ny favorable consideration. We have come to regard gerous citizen in any event. An English student of science and the forces of gravity and so on now appears on the scene with an elaborate thesis to the effect that speeding has one merit at least. His theory is that a man hurled from a machine moving at the rate of 90 miles an hour, particularly a | motorcycle, is safer than a gentleman who is traveling {at a mere half that speed. When he is thrown at the | faster rate he is projected in a line almost parallel to | the ground, instead of being dumped unceremoniously |upon it. Therefore, he finally meets it at a gentle angle and slides along to safety on his ear. The only conceivable objection to such a theory is that a machine or motocycle usually stops thus abruptly only when it hits something, perhaps another machine or a pedestrian. Nothing in the theory mentioned Proves that a vehicle traveling at a 90-mile gait im- plies less danger to the person or machine thus hit. In fact, lay opinion is something to the contrary, and since traffic casualties are usually persons in front of machines rather than behind the wheel it is the former for whom we must feel the most solicitude in these matters. ~ : THE LURE OF FOOTBALL The collegiate football season is here again, and we will now begin to hear complaints that this fine col- lege sport has been “commercialized,” “overempha- sized,” and what-not. Maybe it’s all very true. When you read that such- and-such a college team will travel upwards 6f 10,000 miles during the coming season, it does make you wonder how much serious studying those players are going to be able to do during the next two months. But, for all that, we're glad the scason’s beginning again. Baseball is our national game, and golf is a swell pastime; but, after all, there’s nothing quite like football. With all its faults, we love it still. | Editorial Comment | HOW TO ATTAIN PROMINENCE (Kansas City Post) Some are born great, some achieve greatness while others attain distinction by announging their inten- tions of bolting their party's nominee. Since the mem- ory of man runneth not to the contrary there has been no pre-election period in which so much notoriety has been effected by so little effort as this one when the Hon. Jonas Swuggins makes the first page of the newspapers, described as a prominent citizen of Seven Colors, Neb., and also as rupuuncing his allegiance to the head of the ticket of the party that has put up with him for many years. The Honorable Swuggins has pursued the even sec- ond tenor of his way these many years with no greater achievement to his credit than that of being an ex- candidate for school director when, lo and behold, his bold stand against his former party associates elevates him to a plane above that of his earlier peers. Never before has distinction been so largely a mere matter of volunteering; never before has so large a price been paid for disloyalty to a cause. As the rec- ords stand the desertion seems about a fifty-fifty score with further—or is it initial?—distinetion enough for all who qualify for the classification, UNIQUE ANTIQUE SHOP (Christian Science Monitor) The old-fashioned idea of searching for antiques in the dimly-lighted old shops, down dingy streets, has been discarded by a man in Pasadena, Calif., wh a collector of antiques. He has transformed two acres of Califor 's valuable real estate into an establishment for the display and sale of such things. A shop, a home, a garden, these are the primary features of the interesting establishment which he has created. But the property now is, in reality, none of these things; it is a unique assembling of the artistic success, are not only guilty of a grave dereliction of duty, so far as the principles of sound*pedagogy are concerned, but are also, negatively, it is true, but in effect, robbing young manhood of one of its greatest Joys and preparing it, in many cases, for a lonely, friendless and gfumpy old age. It has been alleged, and doubtless with some truth, that the members of modern college teaching staffs fre not themselves well-read men, and are, therefore, not qualified by experience to impress on the students the necessity of cultivating the reading habit. If ’tis true, ’tis pity. IMPROVING AIRPLANES There is great need for comprehensive aero-dynamic and engineering research in connection with the de- velopment of civil and commercial aircraft. The in- dustry has made wonderful progress thus far in fix- ing the basic design of the component part of the flane, but it has not yet developed the perfect plane, or even ‘epproached it. The elimination of spinning and stalling, two prin- cipal causes of air accidents, is a problem yet to be solved. Increased stability through better wing design 4s a matter engaging the attention of all airplane de- signers. These problems have been approached and Progress made in their solution. New devices and new’ processes are being applied to the design and construction of aircraft. Each speeds the Gay when the airplane will be as reliable, safe and simple as the family automobile. Aviation is benefiting tremendously from the re- search work and cooperation of the National Advisory Committee for Aerbnautics. This committee has been charged by congress with supervision and direction of the technical problems of flight. It maintains an ex- perimental plant surpassing any other in the world and invites aviation industry to submit its technical Problems for aid in their solution. That facilities for fundamental research are open now to the entire aviation industry constitutes a prom- ise that development of the perfect plane will be ex- pedited.

DEFEND AND UPHOLD THE CONSTITUTION To MY DYING BREATH /--= WELL THEN You CAN SANE NOUR BREATH AND START oe BY RODNEY DUTCHER NEA Service Writer Washington, Oct. 2—The import- | ance of the vaguely bounded inde- pendent vote has been receiving more and more attention with the approach of the presidential elec- tion. If the Republicans get the bulk of it a Democratic victory will be- come an impossibility. If the Demo- crats get it they will have an ex- tremely valuable nest ors; to say the least. The fact has led to con- siderable discussion of the present sentiment of those of the 5,000,000 La Follette voters of 1924 who won’t vote this year for Norman Thomas. That means some 4,000,000 votes, more or less. As a matter of fact there prob- ably is a much larger normal inde- pendent vote than the La Follette total indicated. There must have been many of progressive tendencies who refused to jump to a third party four years ago and yet found no reason for bolting from one major party to the other. The progres- sive vote, considered in’ a broad sense, might be placed at a pro- portional mean between the La Fol- lette total and the combined Wilson and Roosevelt vote of 1912, There is sound reason for belief that progressive or independent vote, because of its fluidity, is generally underrated. One commonly hears that the United States is normally Repub- lican and the fact that Republican presidents have served 52 of the 68 ince the Civil War is used to prove it. On the other hand, it is easily demonstrable that the country business carried on. The interior of the building has all the characteristics as they would be situated in a private reside: is not normally conservative and that conservative Republica of the standpat type has had a surprising number of ups and downs, when Tilden, their candidate, won a i popular majority of 250,000 votes. oe 8 The Republicans won in 1880. | Cleveland, with the aid of thousands of Republican bolters who couldn’t swallow Blaine and who were cer- tainly the progressives of their day, jwon in 1884. Then the Republicans in 1888, the Democrats in 1892 and the Republicans in 1896. Counting the Hayes-Tilden election, popular isentiment switched from one party to the other at each of six elections covering the 20 years 1876-1896, If a large number of milder pro- gressives, independent voters, mug- wumps or whatever you want to call them hadn’t refused to trust the country to Bryan we might have gone right on alternating in- definitely. As it was, McKinley was re-elected in 1900 by some 850,000 votes. But then new complications en- tered in. Roosevelt soon succeeded the murdered McKinley and the | presidency was again out of con- servative Republican hands. In 1904 the Republicans had to nomi- nate a progressive and the Demo- crats felt they had to nominate a conservative. The progressives won. soe Roosevelt then put through the nomination of Taft in the belief that Taft was also a progressive and would carry out his policies. The nation took Roosevelt’s word for it, | years Taft in 1908 and got four years of conservative—: called reactionary—admini 5 | Standpat conservatism dropped down to bedrock in 1912. Roosevelt ran as a straightout progressive and Wilson was distinctly a progressive Democra\ ogether their votes beat Taft’s by three to one. There followed what Wilson meant to be eight years of prot jive Demo- cratic rule and the first four years of it, at least, beat all records for of a large home, the art possessions being cisplaved Xe made cepting for workshops, where new furniture from authentic models of famous pieces, the interior of the main building contains all the essential accom- modations of a home where the crafts of the interior decorator and the art adjuncts of the‘collector are as- sembled and displayed to advantage. Behind the main building lies a spacious courtyard, with gardens beyond. These have been landscaped and adorned with outdoor furniture. In one corner of the garden is situated an old-fashioned American cot- tay eauipped with the furniture and decorative styles of an earlier century. The trees on the property to some extent dictated the architectural and planting laye out of the two acres. THWART DE VALERA ‘ (New York Times) They order these things differently—whether better or not—in the Irish Free State, When they wish to amend or repeal any part of their constitution, they do it by a vote in the Irish parliament. Recently two sharp controversies were raised between President Cos- grave and the inappeasable De Valera. The latter had appealed, in connection with a government measure, for & popular referendum, as he was entitled to do under an article in the constitution. Thereupon Pres. Cosgrave Promptly brought in a bill to cancel outright the two articles of the constitution which provide for the ref- erendum and the initiative. In spite of the very narrow jority which the government can command in the Dail, the bill was passed. rt De Valera demand- ed a referendum on this bill itself, but President Cos- grave countered by getting the Dail to vote that the measure was one involving the public safety, which dec- laration, under the constitution, shut out the right to insist upon a popular referendum. Thus Mr. De Valera was completely boxed up. Encoura: by this victory, Mr. ‘Cosgrave proceeded to strengthen further the position ef the government. He had a bill passed which took away the right of the Irish senate to claim a referendum as against an: Paes of Perel Pesce, toe senate was left wi tt to “suspend” legislation for as long as twenty months, if it sees fit.

The last 48 years of the presi- dency are thus seen to have been divided equally between the conserv- ative Republicans and the Democrats and sive Republicans. They are divi as follow: Conserv- ative Republican: 1880-84, 1888-92, 1896-1900, 1908-1912 and 1920-28, Democratic: 1884-88, 1892-96 and 1912-20. Progressive Republican 1900-1908. The progressive this year can take his choice. Many La Follette leaders of 1924 and the Nation and New Republic, the two leading lib- eral weeklies, have declared for Smith. On the other hand, mem- bers of the most effective progres- sive group in public life, including such senators at Howell of Nebraska and Frazier and Nye of North Da- kota have declared for Hoover. o- ————____ i, | INNEW YORK | > New York, Oct, 2.—If the signs in Fifth avenue shop windows carry any sartorial significance, then the well dressed man of America will be garbed this winter in shades of autumn brown, shot now and then with autumn reds.

MaMa 4 OVER TH’ J} PREPARING FOOD APPE- TIZINGLY A cook, having nothing on hand but a few cold boiled potatoes, scraps of meat, some stalks of cel- ery, and perhaps one or twe vege- tables, can make a very ee izing Some of the most delightful re prepared from the sim- gredients. plest There is certainly an art to cook- ery. One person can cook string beans and make them taste like this green slime that grows around swimming pools; another can pre- pare them so tastily that one dish js for another. The reason that vegetables are often unpopular is that they are usually prepared in a tasteless, flavor sloppy form. Vegetables that have been properly prepared ate most delicious and will often be preferred to desserts. A good cook must be ingenious. There is an old saying that invention is the mother of necessity, but that invention is the necessity of the A pleasant appearance and a delightful odor should accompany every food. These are the best di- gestives. If we see or smell a food that we like, our digestive secretions begin to flow. In preparing food one shoul avoid monotony, as with life, variéty is the spice. Almost any food may be prepared in many ways, such as salad, roast, stew, hash, or soup, or by plain boiling. To lend variety the foods may be chopped with a knife, grated, passed through a meat chopper, mashed, or left whole. A salad should not be a mere dab on a dish for the purpose of making other foods attractive by contrast; it should be the principal part of a meal. Properly prepared salads are most delightful and refreshing. Baking is a wholesome method of preparing any food, even those which ou might not ordinarily think of as eing baked, such as carrots, beets, cauliflower, string beans, peaches and celery. The larger and more solid foods may be simply placed in the oven with a pan underneath to catch the drippings, but the smaller leaf vegetables should be placed in a baking pan with a cover of some kind to maintain their moisture. In this way one can combine a num- ber of different vegetables. Some of the most appetizing dishes may be prepared in the form of stews, hashes, and soups. wholesome food should ever be thrown away. It is always possible to use left-overs in some of these dishes. A dish of this type is not only an economy; it often is the most delicious part of a meal.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Question: S.J. asks: “What is the proper way to ventilate a room? It seems to me that without fresh air all the time @ special diet would be of no use to the as Answer: The special ventilation of every room in the house is of the utmost importance, and to get the best results this problem must be carefully studied. Asa rule, a good plan is to provide for openings near the ceiling where the warm, devital- ized air can pass out. Low openings should also be provided for the in- take of fresh air. All gas stoves No | di should be provided with the proper vents and where a fire is burning in the room, more outside must be admitted to keep up the supply of oxygen. Question: Mrs. J. S. writes: “I am_ greatly interested in your articles, and am following your menus exactly as printed. I would like to ask why you never mention the onion, as I was under,the im- pression that it was a healthful vegetable.” nswer: The only practical use to the human that I have been able to find for the onion is to dry it in grease and apply it as a poultice over irritated lungs. The irritation produced by the onion on the skin is sufficient to act as a counter-irritant in much the same way as a mustard pases acts, but this irritating effect is not desirable inside of the stom- ach or intestines, Question: A. L. asks: “What causes the gums to recede, and how may I help them?” nswer: Receding gums are caused by the effects of hyper- acidity of the stomach, and are also~ lue to decomposition of food between the teeth, bacterial growth, and al- lowing the teeth to become coated with tartar. Go to a dentist and have your teeth scaled and the gums treated. At the same time, make the proper dietetic changes so as to overcome the over-acidity of the gastric juice. known across the land that most of the important le of Manhattan drifted here from the small towns of America. But Gotham itself is but dimly aware that Gimbel’s vast-em- rium .grew out_of a country store in Vincennes, Ind. “Théte old Adam Gimbel dealt in such things as visit- ing farmers might require—har- nesses, grain, dairy products, and all the rest. And Adam Gimbel had seven sons. Each of the sons was weaned into the business, and soon began to go forth for themselves. Unless I am misinformed they now have six stores scattered about the country, and the business amounts to more than a hundred million a year. 4 Which reminds me that when someone checked over the list of skyscrapers recently built, or now rising, it was found that designers and builders alike in a considerable percentage of instances had been im- ported from smaller centers of the nation. A large number of them had come from Ohio. | Broadway stage mechanics fre- quently make considerable more money than the stara and near-stars, And they always collect, whether a show fails or succeeds. While their actual wage ranges about $85, they make their big money in overtime during the weeks that precede the opening. At such times they are asked to be on the job from morn to midnight. There are many instances where have worked day and night, with only slight rest, on those days preceding the opening of a new production. With time-and-a-half tabbed to their favor, and with bonuses for their ef- forts, their salarie# soar to $300 and more a week in the busy season, Stage doormen, for some reason or other, seldom quit their jobs until old age has made them incapacitated for further worl. Most of Broad- way’s stage doormen are old-timers. Some have been on the job for 20 or more, The theatres seel: to eep veterans in their employ, since they are accustomed to the ways and manners of the stage fo! of the hundreds who try to crash the gate. Most doormen are encyclo- pedias of information concerning performers—from the tyros of the chorus to the stars., The tales they could reveal—and sometimes do— would constitute a rich biography.
