Judge Gary, head of the big steel
company, says that prosperity, to
last a long time, is Just shead of
us. This is only a hard timer. "Sum-

That statement should brace up
timid souls. Judge Gary, head of the

of the most conservative and keen
business men living, does not

cule by haphazard talk.
His advice is. "If you see any-
thing good, at the right price, buy
It." He takes his own ndvice. A
few days ago he bought for his own
company thirty thousand acres of
coal, for somewhere near twenty
million dollars. He didn't wait, a.s
some are waiting, with a vague
hope that he might buy it later for
twenty cents. There is a bottom

Whisky Is s tricky friend, a lying

Eastman, greatest of all gunmen
and gangsters, is found murdered.
The police were puzzled that the
bead killer should be so easily
killed. But Eastman had been deal-

doctor after the autopsy salil
"Monk Eastman was very drunk."
That explained It al. Whisky ia

Nearlv a thousand dined with
Hoover last Wednesday. Each paid
a thousand dollars for the dinner;
each ate a plate of rice, cup of
cocoa, a small piece of bread -
nothing else. Profit on the dinner
went to poor children In Europe.
That dinner would J e profitable
also to the nine hundred that ate
it if they could learn from It that
such a meal, eaten every day, at
noon or in the evening, would
lengthen life by twenty years on the
average.
It looked as though D'Annunzio
would have to die fighting, Hut
Jut kily u poet has many ideas, and
l'Annunzio haB flown away in a
flying machine, leaving word that
his fellow countrymen, who concen-
trated on "their Christmas greedi-
ness while we were assassinated by
their government," were not worth
dying for.
D'Annunilo is conquered, but his
nation owes him a great deal. He
held in check the greed of indiffer-
ence of Italy's allies, that would
have deprived Italy of even a pre-
tense of Justice. To the courage
and genius of D'Annunzio Italy owes
the influence that she retains In the
Adriatic.
It is said that D'Annunzio will
now go to South America, which
would be a mistake. Europe is the
place for him. He will probably
turn up in Parts or Monte Carlo,
und think up a new idea, while talk-
ing to beautiful ladles as wild as
himself. His life has not been dull.
ing in helpless pain. I was proud
of the fact that I had kept ftrin hold
of the wheel with my left hand, de-
spite the sudden shock I had ex-
perienced.
"Ikies It hurt very much'"' ho
asked solicitously. "I ought to have
warned you of that possibility, and
yet it is what every tyro has to ex-
pect. I remember when I learned to
drive this type of car. the small
bones of my palm wore so bruised
that one time they pained me for
days."
He had my hand In his, the palm
upward, and was looking at it In-
tently. his head bent low. For an In-
Htant I had u wild, fantastic impres-
sion that he meant to impress a kiss
upon It, and I drew It away precipi-
tately.
"It is perfectly all right now,
said, mendaciously, although
heart sank at the thought that *
might again suffer the same shock
at my next attempt to shift gtars.
"But please tell me where I was in
error."
"I think you used too much gas,
he said. "You must remember only
to shift at a low rate of speed When
you become used to a car you'll learn
the exact speed at which each me-
chanism shifts best, each car Is dif
ferent In that respect. Hut don't get
discouraged."
"I'm not," I protested. "And now
I'm going to begin at the very be-
ginning."
From that moment things went
swimmingly with me. Sometimes _
made my shifts more successfully
and noiselessly than at other timeB.
but I always managed them, and
ilaj. Orantland even Included a les-
on in backing and turning around in
my afternoon s program. Ho was
wisely rigid in alternating my new
tasks with stretches of straight driv-
ing, so that I did not become un-
duly nervous, and when we finally
turned toward the hotel, after a
whole afternoon's work, I felt fairly
confident that with practice I could
manage u big car as easily as I did
my small two-control one.
An Exhaustive Drive.
'You are perfectly able to take the
car right up to the door of the ho-
tel." the array officer said tenta-
tively, as we neared the village.
"But I would prefer not to do It.
If ^ou don't mind,'' I returned, stop-
ping the cor.
"Whatever you wish," he returned
deferentially, getting out of the cur
nnd coming around to the driver s
seat, which I vacated for him. He
looked at his watch before taking the
wheel. "There is an hour and a half
before dinner. You will have a
chance to rest a little. I will meet
you In the small sitting room at
6:30."
I found when 1 reached my room
that 1 was glad indeed to follow his
advice to rest, for I was more tired
than I had Imagined. 1 took off the
tiuveliug suit in which 1 had driven,
slipped on a loose negligee, lay down
for half the time he had allotted me,
and then made a careful toilette for
dinner, donning a sllky-figurel crepe
which took up little space in my suit-
case. and had. therefore, been tucked
In for uu emergency.
I was glad Indeed that I had put
It on when I went down to dinner,
for I found the dining room filled
with women in more or less formal
evening toilettes. I would have felt
much embarrassed If I had acted
upon my first thought and had worn
the suit in which I meant to travel.
The I nexpeeted.
Every one In the room appeared to
be trying to prolong their dinner as
much as possible, and I commented
upon the fact to MaJ. Grantland.
"Most of them have been disap-
pointed in their plans for getting
away.'' he Raid. "They have their
trunks and bags packed, and are Just
waiting the word that the line is
clear. If they only knew."
He said the last words as if m
himself, while I wondered what ho
meant. Then hp leaned over to me.
"Would you like to know a se-
cret?" he asked
"I am a woman," I returned de-
murely.
Ho laughed, then he lowered his
voice so there was no chance of his
being overheard.
"The strike was called off a few
minutes ago." ho said. "I Just had a
code message telling me. When the
agent gets the official notice he will
have it announced here. Then you
will soe a stampede. I have already
seen to It, however, that you have a
drawing-room as far as Washington.
That will take care of you for the
night. From there on you will have
to take your chances on the kind of
train, but you wfll be nble to get
through."
"How perfectly wonderful!" I
whispered, but even through my re-
lief at this end to my worry over
the Journey, my thoughts flew to
Dicky. If he had only beon reason-
able and had come with me. all his
worry and that he had caused me
might have been saved.
Into the dining room sauntered a
tall, indolent figure, at sight of whom
my pulses quickened. Then Dicky,
with no hint of anger, but with eyes
full of quizzing raillery. Btrolled over
to our table.
've been hunting all over for you
folks, he said. "I didn't receive your
message. Grant, till late this after-
noon. But my mother delivered it
all right."
He winked at me ruefully, and I
suddenly grasped two facts. MaJ.
Grantland had realized that I was
going North without Dicky's knowl-
edge. and had promptly aent the
knowledge of my whereabouts to
him!

Bad news of another great Italian.
Caruso. His illness takes a serious
turn. Such a genius is to music
what eyesight is to a picture or a
sunset. Without the eyes the pic-
ture does not exist. Without the
voice of Caruso the real beauty of
the music does not exist. When
his day comes may it be many
years hence—the world should
build a fine monument to Caruso.
The world will delight in his voice,
preserved hy science, long after it
ceases to talk of the "war heroes."
Editor Leader: May 1 have space
In your paper to ask your readers to
help Comrade W. P. Detherow, of
Hatesvllle, Arkansas, to pay court
costs; and at the same time get your
money's worth in the best pamphlet
that has ever been wrltteu on the
world war—"The Dream.''
It Is a cleverly written piece of
Socialistic literature-u complete re-
view of this four years of human
Aew gueitionn.
1.—-What is the reason for souf-
fles frequently falling, very soon
after removing from the oven?
2.—What are sweetbreads and
where do they "come from?
3.—In what countries and states,
respectively, are grown sugar cane,
and beets for sugar, to supply the
United Suites?
4.—Where are the refineries for
sugar located7
5.—What ure some milk combina
tion dishes for children?
6.—What kind of chairs tako up

in the living room''
7. What has proven the greatest
convenience in women's dress skirts
the past few years?
Answers to Yesterday's Questions.
1.—A built in window seat, tin
lined, with a hinged cover Is a good
place to keep fresh vegetables In a
small apartment when there Is little
or no room for storage. A separate
box with hinged cover (and making
a very comfortable seat while at
work) will answer the sadie purpose
and is still better when divided into
separate compartments or divisions.
2.—Three essentials in making
good coffee are first a clean coffee
pot; second, coffee ground as fine as
fine granulated sugar; third, always
made at the moment the fresh water
reaches the boiling point.
3. —For every five or slv oysters In
a coctalI glass, mix and pour over.
1 tablespoon tomato catsup, % table-
spoon vinegar or lemon Juice, 1
tablespoon horseradish, 1 or 2 drops
Tabasco, salt and pepper or papria.
4.—Use bits of candle ends, paraf-
fin paper or beeswax, and occasion-
ally salt to rub the irons on to keep
them smooth and free from rust.
6.—Vegetable, nut fats, nnd oils
have rapidly taken tho place of ani-
mal fats since their scarcity during
war, for dll shortening and cooking
purposes.
6.—To test fat for deep fat frying,
heat and drop in an inch cube of
bread and it should be a golden
brown in Torty seconds if of the pro-
per temperature for frying for ihe
doughnuts nnd croquettes; all tv
ono minute for testing for French
fried potatoes.
7.—There are three ways In com-
bining ingredients in doughs—stir-
ring, beating, cutting or folding in.
the latter usually meaning the
whites of eggs beaten.

and poaceablo assemblages were
overthrown. Terr o r i s m ruled
throughout the country. He wanted
power and the wartime legislation
gained power until the kaiser of Ger-
many was but a poor second for him.
Greedily he has hold on to his war-
time power, although the war has
been over more than two years. The
history of Woodrow Wilson shows
that there Is not an element of de-
mocracy in him. He has no conception
of any principle of democracy and
he hates democracy in all Its forms.
The right of self-d#termlnatlon of
peoples he has thrown to the winds.
A world ruled by force Is his ideal.
A league of nations to function or a
vast collecting agoncy to protect the
interests of the international bankers
is his ambition. An international
army controlled by international cap-
italism, to hold tho working class in
subjection the world around is his
scheme.
In the face of his record as presi-
dent he assures us that "democracy
is on trial." He is mistaken; de-
mocracy was assassinated without a
trial when he went into the White
House. Democracy is buried In an
unmarked grave. Like Moses, tho
place of its burial is unknown.
As Mr. Wilson could not have had
democracy, in government in his
mind when he said that "democracy
is on trial,'' then what tfld he mean"''
He must have meant by "democracy"
the mobocracy miscalled the demo-
cratic party. But if so then Mr. Wil-
son has another guess coming, for
the so-called democratic party was
put on trial when Woodrow Wilson
went into the presidency eight years
ago. The trial was conducted be-
fore an Impartial Jury—the Amer-
ican people, and they rendered their
verdict "Death to Traitors."
The verdict has been carried out
and under a mountain of v >tes on
November 2. 1920 the putrid corpse
of the so-called democrat party
burled beyond all hope of resur-
rection.
A tombstone marks the place if its
burial and on the stone we read-
"WKHiHEl) IN Tin: BALANCE
AND IOIND WASTING."
In its grave it lies unwept, un-
honored and unsung. Let itt tragic
fate be a warning to all who would
betray the working class of America.

In tho colder days, the housewife

dishis to serve on the ramlly board.
Yet in many parts of our country
meat is still high. There are, how-
ever, some excellent meat dishes
that may be made at a moderate
cost.
Select the heart from a healthy
beef creature. Wusit It thoroughly
and then remove arteries and veins,
washing it again, If necessary, to
free It from blood. Make a stuffing
of bread crumbs, chopped onion nnd
parsley and a few savory herbs.
Moisten the stuffing with water,
milk or melted fat. Put the stuffing
Into the heart and sew it securery.

pork or other fat. Add sprinkling
of well-seasoned flour and brown a
moment longer. Partly cover the
heart with water. Cover, and cook
slowly until tender. Serve with a
nice brown gravy made from the
liquid In the pot. \
Another palatable dish is called
"hot pot of mutton and barley."
C ut one pound of mutton into small
pieces and brown with three cut-up
onions in a little of the fat cut from
the meat. Pour this into a covered
saucepan, add two quarts of water
and one-half cup of pearl barley.
Simmer for one and one-half hours
and then add four potatoes cut into
quarters. Add celery top and any
other seasoning heriis you desire.
Cook oue-half hour longer.
From the lamb there are certain
by-products that ought to be more

The third day shows Improvement,
and by reason of the lessened pain,
as well as the exhaustion from loss
of sleep, the third night is usually
a good one. The fourth day marks
the end of the discomfort.
Many clergymen have this trouble,
indeed, it Is often called "preacher's
sore throat." All who spend much
time in a vitiated atmosphere are
liable to attack. When one has once
had It, recurrences are to be ex-
pected. For this reason one learns
to dread the onset of the ailment.
At the first appearance of the sore
throat the bowels should be emptied.
If the trouble is a chronic one, par-
ticular attention should be given to
the correction of constipation if it
be present.

CONTROL OF MOJiKY.
Editor Leader: Being a reader of
your paper, I thought 1 would write
a word or two.
During the 60's Abraham Lincoln
fought to free the slaves. It seems
that now our Patriotic Democratic-
Republican l'arty is trying to en-
slave both the whites and blacks.
They are doing it ln the way of try-
ing to break the unions—something
they cannot do. It reminds me of a
circular which appeared in this
country during the 60's. It read
something like this: "Slavery is
likely to be abolished In America.
This. I and my European friends are
in favor of. for owning the slave
carries with it the care for the la-
borer; but our plan is. for capital
to control the labor. This can be
done l y controlling the money, then
we can better protect ourselves as
banker and lender."
So we see they have control of the
money now and they will try to
break the unions so they can con-
trol the labor altogether.
You are doing a great deal of
good in the way of enlightening the
people.
Lay on McDuff—more anon.

CONSENT TO REDUCTION
STYLE
I am not right in style
And yet I do not care,
Though people often smile.
At things I have and wear,
For I remember folks
Who once were quite correct
Who'd be the village jokes
At present, I expect.
It wasn't long ago
To win the world's regard
You always had to show
An iron dog in the yard.
Each family must possess
A scraper on the stoop.
No house was right unless
It had a Rogers group.
The whatnot now is gone.
Along with Rogers' art;
The dogs upon the lawn
With iron legs depart;
And. in this later day.
New styles in style appear,
To be themselves passe
Perhaps within a year.
Who chases after style
Will go a merry pace,
Will spend a pretty pile
To keep his proper place.
And then some wintry night
The folks will yell at you,
"This furniture's a fright—
We must get something new!"

\ou will find this clay shade-
puller not only a useful addition to
your shade but a most decorative
one as well. Use moulding clay that
becomes hard as stone and does not
break easily. Pat it into a triangle
two and three-quarter inches on
each side and three-eighths of a inch
thick. While still soft make a hole
through the middle from top to bot-
tom. Knot a ten-inch piece of silk
cord three and one-half inches from
; the bottom end. Run the cord
through the hole you have made.
Let the knot just touch the top of
the ornament. Make a knot at the
bottom end of the cord. When the
clay is hard and dry paint on the
design in colors that carry out the
color scheme of your room. Fasten
the other end of the cord to a small
brass ring and screw and this at-
tractive clay shade puller is ready
to adorn your shade and live its
useful lire. FLORA.
