Easy to Make and Easy to Spoil.

1t is well to remember, according tc
Good Housekeeping, that baked custard
is one of the easiest things to make and
one of the easiest to spoil in baking-ii
left to its own devices 1t must be made
of fresh materials, and bakes better in a
shallow dish than in deep one. The
dish containing it should be placed in n
shallow tin dish holding hot water, and
the oven must be moderate. Watch it, and
just as soon as the blade of knife comes
out clean when you try it take it out
If you leave it longer, it will be watery.

Poetry Is Not an Art.

To sum all up, poetry is not skill, a
pleasantly, device, an art 1t is the Sc
cret life and light without which not any
thing was made that is made, writes Mrs
A. ID. II. Whitney in The Ladies' Home
Journal. 1t is the sacredness of being. In
it there are these three Sense, soul, spirit
nature, life, revelation. Such is the
trinity Of inspiration. A perfect poem is
natural, human and divine.

\ rRlBUrG OF 5000. 900.

A conservative estimate places the
debt Of the United States TO England at
FIVE billions. There are many estimates
above this sum. For example, the rail.
road stocks and bonds Of the United
States alone, one-half Of which are said
to be held in England, amount to Sll,.
443, 900, 900. The bonded State, national
and municipal debt Of the United States
is 81. 954, 900. 900, almost all Of which is
held in England. Twenty.seven million
acres OF land in the United States and
very considerable business properties in
the large cities are owned in England
and pay rental to English landlords.
British syndicatss hold 500. 900. 900 in
brewing. mining and other enterprises
10 this country, besides . vast number OF
other investments. So it seems entirely
safe to put the debt upon which the peo-
pie of the United States are paying in
terest or dividends to England at s.. 600,
600, 600. The interest rate on this may
be put Of 4 per cent as . low average.
and stiil the tribute which the United
States pay, as interest every year. will
amount to $500. 600. O00-or more than
the total annual output Of gold. which is
placed at sl35, O00, 900. IN. Y. Finance

ALLEN OF EUREKA.
He Corrects Some Misstatements
Made Regarding Himself.

EUREKA, April D, 1925.
EDITOR RENO STATE JOURNAL: Per-
nit me TO correct certain misstatements
regarding myself in the Carson Appeal OF
a recent date. The Appeal charged that
c. L. Allen declared on the floor Of the
Assembly that the Republican party
would win in the next election in Ne.
vada; ''that he was not, and never had
been, a member Of the Silver party"
Now, Mr.. Editor. the above charges were
Manufactured out Of whole cloth. ! never
made any such declaration on the floor Of
the Assembly nor elsewhere-my verac-
ity against that Of Mr.. Davis, in this
matter. We are both well known in the
State. l do not believe the Republican
party will win at the next election in
this State, and never did believe it.
While | believe there are many hundreds
OF honest, conscientious Republicans in
this State, who vote and act politically
| as they believe for the best interests Of
the State, l regard their political action
as ill advised. l am firmly convinced
that the National Republican party is
hopelessly committed against the remon-
citation Of silver and many other needed
reforms, and that to maintain a Republic
can organization in this State and to vote
the Republican ticket is simply to give
"aid and comfort" to a party that is the
determined foe Of reforms of vital i'm
p~ortance to the State and nation.
Now, Nj. Editor. I was elected TO the
Assembly as q Silver man. To the As.
sembly, on every occasion, | advocated
the principles enunciated in the platform
Of the Silver party Of this State and
every vote of mine was given in favor Of
those principles. and ! challenge the Ap-
peal or any other Of my detractors to
point to a single instance whore I proved
false to my pledge.
