(Official City, State and County Newspaper) itatives SMALL, SPENCER & LEVINGS (Incorporated) Must Have Their Fun Clerks of the house and senate will put on their an-| nual show for members of the legislature Monday after- noon. In accordance with long established custom, they will conduct a “third house,” in which the regular assembly will be lampooned. Leaders of all political factions are bound to come in| for caricature. They always have, and it is only fair to asume that the rule will be followed this year. - Somewhere in the house or senate there is a clerk) who may have longed to give an imitation of Mr. L. L. Twichell in action. Somewhere else there may be one who desires to lampoon Mr. O. E. Erickson, the minority leader. They will have a chance Monday. John W. Carr, as presiding officer of the senate, will not be overlooked, and those members of the house and senate who have made themselves conspicuous in any manner may expect to hear their names mentioned. It always has been clean fun, even though a dart may be concealed here and there, but it is a concession which the legislature always has made to those long-suffering souls who assist in its work. For 59 days the employes of the assembly listen to voices other than their own.; ‘They think thoughts and have ideas, some solemn and some gay. On Monday these ideas will burgeon forth into action. It is good for the employes to let off steam and good for the legislature to have them do so, for it casts anj enlightening glow upon what is, of necessity, serious business. Along about this time of the session, members of the house and senate are liable to begin losing their sense of humor. The third house session helps to restore it. In the jests and jibes of the clerks and employes there ’ may be hidden some bits of fundamental balance which the legislators, concerned with important things, may have overlooked. It does no harm for anyone, even a legislator, to have his fun. ‘Another Rain-Maker The Pied Piper of Hamlin has a great-great-grandson. The Pied Piper, you may remember, offered to remove all the rats from Hamlin Town if the council would give; him enough guilders. But when the last gray rat had tumbled into the river the council changed its mind, so the merry Piper did a wholesale kidnaping stunt and locked the children up in a hill. ‘Now Dr. George Ambrosius Immanuel Morrison Sykes, the director of an organization which he calls the ‘Weather Control Bureau, has made an offer to the five boroughs of New York City that he will replenish the city’s water supply at the rate of $25,000 an inch or for ® flat guarantee of $350,000 for 12 inches of rain over a Period of 90 days. More than a year ago, at the Belmont races, Dr. Sykes had a contract to receive $1000 a day if he could hold off the rain that week. But the last day it sprinkled occasionally so he had to forfeit $2000, although he re- ceived payment for the other days. If Dr. Sykes is able to take charge of the rain, people} with too much money will have another diversion. They can call up the weather magnate and prescribe the kind that they want. Farmers will be able to chip in and order so many inches of rain in the way that they co-operate to buy feed by the carload. ‘Weather forecasters won't know what to prescribe. ‘The water witches, who used to go around the country locating hidden springs with a crotched stick, could have asked more money if they had drawn their water from the sky instead of the earth. But we'll take a raincoat along only when the govern- ment meteorologists say it is going to storm. The Dancing Prince | There is some compensation in belonging to the great commonplace. Its members may dance with whom they Please and nobody knows or cares. | But every time the Prince of Wales asks a girl for a} fox trot or @ waltz the fact is broadcast around the| world, and the maiden is asked just how it felt to have the manly atm of the heir apparent to the British throne | encircle her waist. Miss Eleanor Nichols, daughter of Naval Commander Newton Lord Nichols, is the latest girl to have been inter- viewed on the subject. With splendid judgment she told the questioners that the Prince is a very likeable, human young man. She enjoyed her dance with him. She probably never even gave a thought to the blazon- ed heraldry that.belongs to a prince's train, and he Gidn’t, either. Being a prince today, except on state occasions, isn't much different than being a bavker or lawyer. © Except on the dence floor. A Pri: to Die Anthony Mangino, 63, of Guttenberg, N. J., is reversing the whole code.of criminal conduct. Most men who are given = death sentence plead for life imprisonment. If they can live, they will accept the prison background, the two were struggling for the possession of a revolver in their grocery store. His backward look isn’t going to be a happy one. He hasn't any future for which to hope. His play didn’t end with the encore. It isn’t surprising that he wants to die. The Dog and His Day More than 2,500 pedigreed dogs are barking hilarious- ly at one another at America’s biggest dog show, in New York city. And not an Airdale or a collie among them realizes that they are really holding a dogs’ rights’ con- vention. The health commissioncr of New York city has pre- dicted that dogs may be barred from that city within a few years. The population is growing rapidly. Quar~ ters are clase. And it is unhealthy to have the canine influence around. It is probably a wise prediction. Especially for the dogs. For no dog should be shut up in a bandbox of a room when there are meadows to roam and high green hills to climb. No dog should have to sniff at trails which he may never take. He belongs to the out-doors and he should have the privilege of his birthright. Dogs miss so much when they live in cities. They can't have a lazy sort of fellowship with the dog next door, or get a little honest pride out of sending some- body's kitten scurrying up a tree. There aren't any small boys with whom they can roam, wagging their tails at life in general They have to let someone put @ leather leash around their necks and lead them decorous- ly down a paved street. And it's hard on a dog. | The canine fraternity is making: its last stand in New York City, perhaps. Maybe outstanding members of the clan won't be called together after a while. And of course they may miss the silver cups and blue ribbons | which they admire. | But the great middle-class of the dog world—the group that isn’t represented—is going to be mighty glad if it gets @ chance to return to a paradise where there are lawns and playfellows, and freedom of the roads, and no ban on barking. Man of a Thousand Hands Warrington Dawson, news dispatches tell us, is an attache of the American embassy in Paris who has writ- ten 17 books despite @ paralysis which makes it all but impossible for him to move, However, his mind stays active and he calls himself the “Man of a Thousand Hands,” because so many people are willing to assist him in the work of historical research. There is much exposition of the better side of human} nature in this brief set of facts. Dawson's courage is appealing. Here is'a man in a situation which amounts to a living death. Yet, his spirit carries on, and with outstanding bravery he re- tains his mental balance and strives to do a work which interests him. It takes courage to do that. To most of us it would seem a great deal easier to give up and die. ‘The other side of the picture comes from the willing- ness of so many people to help a helpless man. It profits them nothing, and yet they offer their assistance. Out of charity, perhaps, but quite as likely from sheer ad- miration of a spirit which will not be quenched until life, itself, has ended. Z Editorial Comment > FAltorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they egree.or disagree with The Trib- une’s policies. The Triumph of the Egg (St. Paul Dispatch) Poultry raising and eggs may still be to a large ex- tent in Minnesota a side industry, but it has one. impor- tant quality—‘“there’s money in it.” In hard dollars and cents the business of getting the little red hen to lay brings greater value than mere “pin-money” re- sults. The forty-fifth annual show of the Minnesota Poul- try Association last week was an exhibit of one of Min- nesota’s chief money making agricultural pursuits, The value of Minnesota’s egg production in 1929 was $40,- 292,000, a figure which places eggs far ahead of wheat, | barley, flax or potatoes as'sources of wealth for the farm- er. All the wheat raised in the state that year had p value of only a little more than one-half that of eggs produced. Besides eggs, poultry raisers in Minnesota sell thousands of chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese to the produce markets, the added value of which brings the industry to the position of one of the most lucrative farming pursuits. The hen population of Minnesota now totals over ten millions. The combined efforts of all these Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, Wyandottes and other varieties, pro- duce around 150 million dozens of eggs which eventually find their way to tables the country over. Fortunately Americans are great egg eaters and chicken fanciers, in the consuming as well as producing sense. America, although the greatest wheat producer, con- sumes less bread per capita than any other. Therefore it has been said that if Americans ate bread as they do poultry products there would be no wheat surplus. How- ever this may be, the nation’s taste for eggs and drum- sticks is not lost on the farmer, That he is rising to meet the demand is shown by the Department of Agri- culture's annual report of a rapidly growing hen popu- lation. The number of fowls in America in 1929 was 441,731,000, and the figure increases by about 10 per cent every year. At this rate, the little red hen can soon challenge the position of the eagle as America’s national bird. Married Women Workers (New York Times) Most married women have always worked. For cen- turies no one objected. They worked long hours in their own homes. Some of them handled the cash for house- hold expenses. Women were praised for working under these circumstances. But now that they are working for pay outside their homes, much comment is-of a different sort. Objection is chiefly concentrated on the married women workers. It is easily taken for granted that a married woman is supported by her husband merely be- cause all married women used to be. An example of this unwarranted assumption was the resolution just voted down in the state legislature to exclude married women from teaching. Only those submitting proof that their husbands earned too little to support them were to be permitted to keep on in the schools. In a period of wide unemployment the first thought may be that jobs should be given to those who need them most. If this idea were carried to its logical conclusion, tionist.

A—‘Costume Throughout the Ages” says: “Since Elizabethan days the dress of the Irish has had little to distinguish it from that‘worn in England, but before the time of that many laws pertaining to the clothing of her subjects, Irishmen wore kilts similar to those of the Scotchmen, brown leather, and a plaited linen suirt. Over all was a sleeveless loose Cloak that was long and made of bright colored wool. Some wore a fitted coat, much like the.present-day frock coat with tight sleeves, no col- lar, ‘and a broad girdle at the waist. The women wore a linen undergar- ment and over this long gowns of the same material, dyed saffron, or costly fabric imported from the con- tinent.' Their long capes had hoods attached. In jewelry, they wore bracelets, pins, brooches, rings and torques about their necks. Today, modern-continental dress is found in all parts of Ireland, all traces of the old dress having disappeared.” Q—What is the business of a church court in reference to social reform? M.

The large yellow turnips are usually called rutabagas and Jean toward the cabbage family, while the white turnips lean toward the mustard group. Turnips and Tutabagas are valuable for the po- tassium which they contain. This is an_element which keeps us young. Potassium is good for those who are thin and tire easily. It is essential for the vigor of the brain and nerv- acidosis, or an acid tendency, helps to prevent hardening of the ar- teries and similar troubles of old age. Since turnips are especially rich in this element, those desiring strength and youth should use them frequent- ty. Turnips also contain sodium and magnesiura, and when freshly pressed out, the juice of the turnip contains anti-scorbutic properties. The ten- der turnip tops make excellent greens, with a flavor all their own. The small leaves may also be used raw in salads, The larger leaves may be cooked with an equal amount of spin- ach leaves and make a good dish. Greens of this type are needed in the really depends on power and not on wheel diameter. ’ Today Is the Anniversary of BIRTH OF MALTHUS On Feb. 14, 1766, Thomas R. Mal- thus, famed economist, was born in Surrey, England, After private tutoring at home, Malthus entered Cambridge, from which he graduated in 1788. Just 10 years later he published his celebrat- ¢d “Essay on the Principle of Popula- tion.as It Affects the Future Im- Provement of Society,” @ publication on which his: fame largely rests. In, this essay Malthus maintained that. population to increase out 0: proportion to the increase of means of subsistence. He predicted a period of over-population on the earth and advocated moral restraint in order to check the birth rate. Beginning in 1807, Malthus held, throughout the remainder of his life, the professorship of history and poli- tical economy in the East India Com- Pany’s college at Haileybury. f Quotations 1 > Tsay nothing against slang.

The roots may be boiled in a small amount of water and then mashed, being served with butter. They should be washed well and scrubbed with a vegetable brush, but never scrape them, as this removes the organic salts under the skin and at the same time destroys some of the agreeable flavor. In making raw salads it is well to select the smaller roots, which may be scrubbed well, grated, and then added to some of the raw leafy vege- tables, such as lettuce, spinach, Jars- ley, etc. Use the turnip during this for it is cheap, healthful and goodto eat, and helps to keep you young.
