(Official City, State and County Newspaper) HERO OF THE VESTRIS Sometimes it seems as if it tal a great tragedy to reveal the fundamental nobility of the human race. The story of the sinking of the steamer Vestris has not been pleasant reading. But through the dark par- agraphs of terror and death there have been bright gleams of courage and fidelity that are worth going far to get. Michael O'Loughlin, the chief radio operator, made a name that should be remembered for a long time. To understand the nature of his heroism, you must fix in your mind a picture of the situation on the sinking vessel. The Vestris was lying far over on its side, its decks slanting as steeply as the roof of a house. It was sag- ging lower in the water every minute, with long waves jarring it deeper as they broke over its nearly sub- merged bows. The passengers were huddled on deck in life preservers. In the little cubby-hole of a radio room sat O’Lough- lin, Perhaps “sat” isn’t the word; for the room canted at such an angle that he had to brace his feet against the wall to keep from falling. He knew that at any moment the ship might turn completely over, or slide down into the depths without warning. To be cooped up inside under such circumstances hardly could have been pleasant. But there sat O'Loughlin, keeping in his hand the little key that was the steamer’s sole contact with the rest of the world. Hour after hour he stayed there, ticking out the signals that were bringing help across the hostile sea. Lower and lower the ship settled; at last the lifeboats slithered down the slanting side. Still O'Loughlin stuck, guiding the rescue ships to the scene. The power generators were flooded, and he had to send his signals on the emergency coil, but he kept at it. The scientists are fond of telling us that we are ruled by fundamental instincts which cannot possibly be broken. The strongest of these, they say, is the in- stinct of self-preservation. Oh, how they libel the race! Self-preservation! O’Loughlin could easily have left his post after once making sure that help was on the way. He could have stepped outside, made his way to a lifeboat or raft, strapped a life belt about his waist and made sure of his own safety. No one could have blamed him for refusing to die like a drowning rat in a sinking cage. But—he didn't.

Told they should not know of the forbidden hypothesis, the protected student will be the more de- termined to make it a part of his fund of knowledge. CONGRESS SHOULD ACT Late in his campaign President-elect Hoover said he favored an extra session of congress to consider farm relief legislation if the short session beginning next month fails to place such legislation on the statute books. A special session should not be necessary. Senator McNary, co-author of the McNary-Haugen bill, will present a new measure for farm relief at the opening of the short session. It is believed this bill 50 | will be dictated by Republican policies as outlined dur- ing the campaign, in which case it would have a fair chance of receiving President Coolidge’s signature. The farm contingent will, if it is wise, go to Wash- j ington in December satisfied to take what it can get jand not drag out a fight for something impossible of attainment. In their views on farm relief Coolidge and Hoover are not far enough apart to make it expedient for the farm bloc to hold out until Hoover's inaug- uration removes the threat of the Coolidge veto. Despite Senator Borah’s assertion that nothing can be accomplished at the short sc n, it is plain that the farm que: n has been so over that there is little more to gress, being better informed, is better able to act than the next which might demand two more years for de- bate and study. Let the present congress in the approaching ses provide some relief. The alternative, a special session, is one nobody can look forward to with comfort. STORM BREWS IN CONGRESS Rodney Dutcher writes from Washington that the next session of Congress ought to be a fairly stormy one. The presidential campaign, he says, has left soreness in a good many congressional breasts, and a good bit of this soreness is due to be aired on the floor of Con- gress. Various senators and congressmen will stand up and say exactly what they think about various men and issues. In addition to providing plenty of worth-while enter- tainment, this ought to be all for the public good. Politicians do not always speak with the frankness and fervor to which a waiting country is entitled. If the stings of a ho# campaign induce them to do so, so much the better. We may learn something. | Editorial Comment | “KING OF KINGS” (Time) Her sublime and imperial majesty the Empress | Zaudita, daughter of the late Emperor Menelik II, con- | ferred recently upon her cousin, Ras ri, the trusted ; regent of her empire, a potent title: “King of Kings of | aa ia, Conquering Lion of Judah and the Elect of Soon Conquering Lion Tafari, who claims to be a descendant of Biblical King Solomon, was crowned, and a seven-day feast began. It was made all the merrier by the arrival of a cablegram from London: “On the occasion of your imperial highness’ corona- tion, I have great pleasure in offering you most cor- dial congratulation on the signal honor which her majesty the empress has been pleased to bestow upon you eorge, R. I.” Proclamation of these stirring events was made by criers in all the seventy-odd languages of Abyssinia. A SIGN OF THE TIMES (Enid Eagle) Government recognition seems to have been given to men’s longer life expectancy in this generation through an order issued some time back by the president, rais- ing the age limit for appointment of first, second and third-class postmasters from sixty-five to sixty-eight years. Things like that happen oftener than we realize. An ordinary, undistinguished man finds himself face to face with terror and death; and, without any flourish or heroics, he calmly ignores them and does the duty that presents itself. He may die as a result; yet the blindest materialist alive must admit that such a man has eternally conquered death. He has proved that it cannot frighten him; and the aspirations of the race are thereby vindicated. HOOVER JOURNEYS SOUTH There is every prospect that President-elect Hoover’s trip to South America on which he starts today, will ‘be more than a post-campaign jaunt for rest and pleas- ure. While it will provide him rest that will come in good stead when the affairs of state are shifted from President Coolidge’s shoulders to his, it is very likely that observations made as he travels through the Latin- policies, While relations between the United States and Cen- tral and South America did not provide one of the chief issues of the recent campaign, the fact remains that | th these relations constitute an important executive Prob- Tem which survives each administration to trouble the next. It is practical statesmanship and proof of the man’s foresight and thoroughness for Mr. Hoover to He should know their official representatives and they should know him. The interests of the American continents are insep- arably bound together by the Monroe Doctrine, nomic and trade requirements, relations established by the Pan-American congresses and the position of the United States as banker to Central and South America. European nations as financier to the Latin-American tountries. It is American capital that is developing their natural resources and stabilizing their govern- ments, As secretary of commerce Mr. Hoover watched the grbwth of our investments in South America, and did much to.improve our trade in that fertile field. He is, therefore, in a position to appreciate the need for mutual understanding. ARKANSAS : No distrust of democracy corrodes the minds of the happy citizins of Arkansas.

CONFIDENCE IN MR. HOOVER (Renville Count; No finer tribute has been paid President-Elect Her- bert Hoover than the view now being expressed by some of his more enthusiastic supporters that his election means a complete realignment of the Republican party and the passing of political power of the powerful, old-time type of political bosses with which both parties American republics will help shape his Pan-American | have been afflicted.

Mr. Hoover’s nomination at Kansas City was made by bosses of the type of Mellon and Vare. Yet their e thema to millions of people who voted for Mr. Hoover and Mr. Hoover owes them nothing. As the situation clears it is apparent that Mr. Mellon’s accept- ance of Mr. Hoover was reluctantly expedient. Mr. re’s support of him was a truculent positive.

His forthcoming South American visit encourages those who believe he will make a new type of chief executive and that the change will be all to the good. Few things could. do more to strengthen our interests in this hemisphere than Hoover's trip. It is a master stroke. Latin America is an important prop to our pros- perity, and the least resistant field in our war for world trade. Hoover now appears to have meant what he said when he insisted during the campaigh that there were some, things a president could do about | prosperity. * * Some time between now and in- auguration a brief checkup on the sort of president Hoover is likely to make, based on past performance, may be in order. Now that the em- bers of partisanship are only smol- dering, this may be as good a time as any. Let’s enumerate, first for better and then for worse, in a thumbnail analysis: 1, Hoover will enter the White House with greater potentialities than any president within memory. His background of achievement goes far outside that of Harding or Cool- idge. It transcends that of the clois- tered, scholarly Wilson. It affords high hope that Hoover will always put the interests of the nation above that of party. 2. There have been innumerable instances of a personal humanity about Hoover which suggest that he isn’t going to forget all about the underdog; that although he may not antagonize Big Business he will at least attempt to see that the “masses” don’t get all the bad breaks. 3. Hoover has initiative. His ad- ministration promises progress—in what direction one cannot predict, ity at least as successfully, and per- haps more so, than any other man mentioned for the presidency in 1928 could have done. 4. He is well equipped to put the machinery of government on a more efficient basis than it ever has operated on, al eee So much for Hoover the engineer, Hoover the administrator, Hoover the organizer, and Hoover the hu- manitarian. On the other side of the picture here are his visible flaws: 1, Politically speaking, he js not entirely scrupulous. That does not mean that his personal character is not spotless or that any other successful politician has such things as scruples, The charge is made that he permitted important mem- bers of his political machine to cir- culate religious propaganda during the recent campaign. 2. Hoover has seldom been bold except when there was everything to gain by boldness and nothing to lose. He has been a burning cru- sader against such -unpopular_in- stitutions as bolshevism and in favor of Brod perl, and the American home. ie has seldom engaged in any fight until vietory was as good as won. His campaign tactics seemed to be typical of him, although they were also undeniably good poli- tics. He has been even more silent uaa Coolidge on Republican scan- dals. 3, He has often been accused of timidity. : So much for that. There is no reason to suppose that these defects as shown by Hoover’s history are bound to handicap him now. As president, with a favorable Congress, ‘is power will be almost limitless. The caution which he has here- tofore exhibited may become one of his virtues; it seems extremely likely that he will act most vigorously when and if he is assured of the sup- port of the American people. No man can rise to high political office except under almost incon- ceivable circumstances, without sac- but we are not in for a period of standstill. He ought to be able to guide and guard American prosper- rificing much of his self-respect. Men of lower rank nearly always | fear anyone. realization that it is necessary if they are to rise. But Hoover is now sitting on top of the world. He can be himself. He need not He can afford to tell anyone, at ahy time, just where to get off. [ IN NEW YORK | °-—— New York, Nov. 21.—Once a year, when the streets grow sloppy under foot and melancholy haunts the skies, I make a pilgrimage to 160th street. There on a highland over Harlem, is the quaint and lovely old home which, for reasons best known to historians, is called the Jumel Mansion. To visit the Jumel mansion on a melancholy morning, is equivalent to going to the attic and taking down grandma’s picture album, or ponder- ing the history of faded tin-types and well-worn cameos. Having no attic, no grandmother, no tin-types or cameos, I must presume that the {Jumel mansion offers one of Man- hattan’s pleasantest escapes from the chaos of the present into the glowing and quaint romance of the pa + * * From the highland on which perches the Jumel mansion it is pos- sible to watch kinky-haired pick- aninnies sailing sticks down the flowing gutters. It’s possible to catch a glimpse, in passing, of a lack-and-tan jazz cafe and the garish signs of a high-yellow mu- sical show. Inside the Jumel mansion, one is thrown abruptly back to lavender and old lace; to powdered wigs and pantaloons; to huge pictures of rev- olutionary day folk upon the walls and to charming old rooms, through which seem to walk wraiths of the romantic figures who played their part there—and died, Here. is a little sign to tell you that Geroge Washington used such- and-such a room for his headquar- ters during the Battle of Harlem. Another card informs you that Roger for his bride in 1765 and that when the Colonial cause was won, his property was lost, so he packed up ‘is bride and went home.

Among the more wholesome starches we find the Italian pastes, macaroni, spaghetti, noodles and a host of sim- ilar products manufactured out of white flour and water into hundreds of shapes such as stars, crescents, shells, the alphabet, sheets, etc. Sometimes eggs are added to these pastes, but this type is actually not so desirable as the cheaper brands manufactured without eggs. The invention of these products is enerally credited to the Italians, ut the records of history show that the Chinese were the real inventors, and that the idea for these pastes was introduced into Italy by a party of German traveling merchants. However, it was the Italians who realized the value of the idea and finally the manufacture of these products became a secret process, jealously guarded by Italy for fully a hundred years but, of course, this secret could not be maintained for- ever, The flour from hard wheat is most commonly used for manufacturing these pastes and it is mixed with a small amount of boiling water and mixed and kneaded by powerful ma- chinery until the dough is smooth and tough. It is then forced out of a cylindrical press through the small holes of a perforated iron plate. The shape of the holes regulates the mold of the product, the smaller kinds being sheared off by rotary knives. In Italy many colored varieties are manufactured, being colored yel- low with eggs, green with spinach juice and red with beet juice. The latter two types are the more whole- some, Recently many firms have manu- factured wholewheat macaroni. This has a slight dietetic advantage, since it contains some mineral elements that have been removed from the white flour. However, all of these pastes should be eaten with meals containing non-starchy vegetables and the latter will supply the min- eral element to make up for the de- ficiency of the flour. Since these products are highly starchy foods, they should not be combined with cheese or tomatoes as is done in the average recipe. The malic acid of the tomato is very powerful and does not form a good combination with any starchy food. The best way to prepare these pastes | is to cook them in unsalted boiling water. Care must be taken that se water is thoroughly boiling, not Dr. McCoy will gladly answer perso! uestions on health and a Nddressed to him, ‘Bneione a stamped addressed envelope for reply. merely hot. When ,cooked, they should be separated from the water and seasoned with butter or cream. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Rheumatic Fever Question: G. W. asks: “What are the symptoms of rheumatic fever?” . Answer: The principal symptoms showing the approach of rheumatic fever are soreness of the joints or muscles, loss of bs ria) fever which usually varies from 100 de- grees to 101 degrees except when it occasionally, at the start, goes as high as 104 degrees. Constipation, and coated tongue are usually pres- ent and tonsils are generally swollen but these organs may be inflamed as a result of the general toxemia and cannot usually be considered as a cause of the fever, although a fever from acute tonsilitis often resembles rheumatic fever. The Lunchbox Question: Mrs. G. W. J. asks: “Will you kindly give me a few sug- gestions as to what would make a wholesome and nourishing lurch? My husband works in a sawmill and takes a lunch with him in the morn- ing. Up to the present it has con- sisted of bread and meat or jam sandwiches. I am quite aware how faulty that is considered, so would appreciate your help very much.” Answer: You can put up a good lunch with real wholewheat bread sandwiches, and also add some non- starchy vegetables which can be kept warm in a thermos bottle. Be sure to get the real wholewheat bread. At lunch time the sandwiches may « be freshly buttered, and peanut but- ter or lettuce added. Such vege- tables as the following may be used in the thermos bottle: Spinach, asparagus, string beans, squash, cel- ery. In addition to these cooked vegetables, add to the lunch some fresh lettuce or celery. Wrap these fresh vegetables in*a damp cloth and they will remain fresh until lunch time.

Washington, to help cele- brate the victorious turn of events, came back to his one-time quarters, bringing with him a merry party of cabinet officers, their wives and girl friends for a festive dinner party, at which much that was stronger than the Volstead law allows was quaffed. 4 Within the next few years, how- ever, it fell into disrepair and finally was salvaged by one Stephen Jumel, friend of Napoleon, who would have brought the conqueror back to his redecorated home had not a few affairs at home kept Napoleon oc- cupied. “ee After the downfall of Napoleon, Mme. Jumel was expelled from France by the government of Louis XVIII after she persisted in riding through the streets of Paris with the insignia of the eagle wings, Na- Poleon’s emblem, on the sides of her carriage. But Stephen Jumel must have ob- tained a reversal of the edict, for she returned to France in 1821, She was presént at the coronation of Charles X. She embarked on a career of reckless extravagance, wasting the fortune of her indulgent usband. Four years of this and the Jumels were obliged, through fin- ancial straits, to close their home in Paris. Mme. Jumel returned to the mansion on Washington Heights. “* * Now there was gossip of Aaron Burr visiting the home. Burr had been vice president. In 1828 Stephen Jumel came home, an old man. Jumel’s death in 1832 caused an- other wave of gossip. He fell from a hay cart, was taken up insensible and was bled after the fashion of treatment of the day. The next morning he was found dead—with they bandage off his arm. He had bled to death. In 1833 Mme. Jumel was married to Aaron Burr, There are biographers who say Mme. Jumel was overbearing and dominating beyond endurance in the later years of her life. At any rate, Aaron Burr did not remain long in the great house on the hill. One day he walked out of the mansion never to return. 5 Was there a ghost in that old house then? At any rate, it was a house in which Mme. Jumel no longer found it possible to live. She leased the home and went restlessly from place to place. At the last she became a little jueer, After years of wandering, she-returned to the creepy old man- sion. Faded and bent she sat in that house of melancholy. Alone, she set up a table—a dinner she imagined she was giving to Joseph Bonaparte. Brooding, remembering.
