Few newspaper readers are ignorant enough to qualify for jury duty. « From a.funeral sermon: “Here lies before us only the shell of a man; the nut is gone.” A music critic says only two per cent of the people can sing. A liberal estimate, we should say. Politicians with the itching palms should beware and remember the crooked politicians in Louisiana, and their fate. From a Missouri paper: “Ray Har- per was married last week. We didn’t get the lady’s name; but no matter, Harper now.” Mrs. F. J. Zanon, of Walsenburg, Col., bit into a home-grown carrot and found a gold ring she lost in the garden ten years Carats from a carrot. A Boston man some years ago promised to retire when he had: made a million, and kept his word. ‘We are some- times tempted to make a similar vow. ago.

According to the Dies committee which is investigating un-American activi- ties the agents of Germany and Russia are | trying to make it appear through their propaganda that everyone who favors re- tention’ of the existing Neutrality Law is a sympathizer of Hitler and Stalin: That is a little crude but is nevertheless effective in some quarters.

THOSE HIDDEN TAXES According to the most careful esti- mate, the people of the United States pay a combined national, state and local tax bill of more than 1 billion dollars a year. Yet, a large percentage of our people never see a tax collector’s receipt. They never see a tax receipt because 63 per cent of this tax bill consists of hid- den taxes, which are included in the price .of everything the ultimate consumer buys, according to the National Consumers Tax Commission, which is doing a commend- able service in educating the public to a realization of what this tax burden really means. This organization, composed of women and every state, is engaged in a study of tax conditions in various local “communities throughout the country, and is passing on to the general consuming public the in- formation thus obtained. One of its stated objectives .is “to make clear the consumer side of every tax proposal, in the belief that the American public has the right to know what taxes it pays, how and when they are collected and where the revenue goes.” Commenting on this, the Detroit Free | Press says: ‘These taxes will continue to | mount until farmers and city-dwellers get together and insist on a stop being put to it.” largely AIRCRAFT FOR THE ALLIES Manufacturers of aircraft in the | United States are speeding the construc- tion of war planes ordered by the British and French governments before the war in | Europe’ began. | A news dispatch says that crated air- | planes are gathering on the docks at San Pedro, Calif.,.and Baltimore and at ware- hotises in New York harbor. Many planes, fully equipped and ready to fly, are stored in’ airports on both coasts: In the year prior to the outbreak of hostilities in Poland, American manufac- turers delivered 360 bombers and training plaries to England and 250 assorted fight- ers, light bombers and training ships to Fraticé. Now being stored in this country and being constructed under contract are 755 warplanes, most of them said to be | light, twin-engined bombers, capable of 300-miles-an-hour speeds.

SALADS Preparation of Fruits and Vegetables for Salads Greens 1. Select tender greens in the early morning. Cut off roots, re- move coarse leaves. 2. Keep them in a cool place in a closed vessel or closely wrapped in paper or a paper bags Sprinkle the lettuce head lightly and place in a paper bag. 3. Wash leaves thoroughly in two or three waters. Watercress and lettuce need careful atten- tion. Green insects often infest them. Lift the leaves out of one water into the other. 4. Crisp the greens in very cold water for %-hour or less. Acid (vinegar or lemon) added to the water for crisping destroys insects. Salt wilts greens. 5. Drain, spread on a towel or place in a covered dish and set in a cool place until serving time. Shake dry. ‘ 6.
