A Watermelon Luncheon
BY coRNELlA c. BEDFORD.

Nothing in the way Of simple en-
terta1nment at this season for a re-
stricted number Of friends could be
more appropriate than watermelon
luncheon. For the centerpiece border
Ia circular mirror with moss and on it
have a boat made Of watermelon rind
with argo Of its diced heart or few
white asters. Line the relish dishes
with melon leaves and fill them with
olives and white radishes. The half
melon left after fashioning the boat
may have the pulp removed, the edge
iutilized as a bowl in which to serve
fsherbet; until used 1t should be kept
buried in chopped ice or in pan Of
water, that its crispness may not be
lost. Caterers do such clever work now
fa-days that the ice cream can be made

OLGA NETHERsoLE's DEBUT

Olga Nethersole, the famous English
actress, recently gave out the following
in regard to her first appearance on
the stage: 1920 .''
"My first appearances Well, I had
who happened to be secretary to local
amateur dramatic club invited me to
become a member. We studied all win

spring Of each year it was the custom
Of the club to offer it's services for the
benefit of public charities We secured
an engagement to, appear at one of the
largest public insane asylums, in the
suburbs of London, and / was assigned
a part in the play chosen. -. r, p.
THE eventful night Of my debut ar
rived, and I journeyed to Colney Hatch,
where the institution was situated. AS
the curtain rose I was discovered as a
domestic servant dusting the furniture,
and my part called for few bars Of a
song. The will was there, but my
tongue seemed paralyzed.
Utterly bewildered, I stood facing a
thousand lunatics, who with few doc
tors and nurses constituted the audi.

pering the lines to me. I knew them as
well as he eEdid, but, try as I would, my
tongue would not move. I heard my
cousin in the wings say angrily. This
comes Of letting damned amateurs spoil
the business" and then preemptori1y,

moment I caught sight Of a crazy won.

MUNICIPAL SLAUGHTER HOUSES.

1t was of course to be expected that Mayor
Dunno and his party would seize upon the re-
cent disclosures an argument for municipal
ownership of slaughter houses. All abuses in
industry and all failures Of the local govern
ment 10 do It's duty are with them arguments
for putting upon that government heavier
duty. The situation revealed in Chicago is
really one of the most conclusive demonstra-
tons of the folly of any such extension Of
municipal functions. If the city cannot be
trusted to inspect faithfully and enforce its
most fundamental sanitary regulations, how can
il be trusted with the complete administration
of an industry when its servants would be
more than ever under temptation 10 accept
bribes for permitting unfit animals to be put
through the slaughter houses?
Mayor Dunno is a reformer and believer in
sumptuary laws. He is surrounded by COM
pany of philanthropists eager to improve the
conditions of the working people. Since he has
been Mayor we have heard OF many movements
among the Settlement workers who support him
for the betterment of Packingtown. The Mayor
must have known of and sympathized with
these movements. Yet his administration with
all its devotion to the common people and op-
position to mOnOpolists, has done nothing even
% enforce the building code and the sanitary
laws in the packing houses. The city inspection
and disposition of diseased animals were lax.
and Intentionally lax, for when a faithful Off
cial sought to do his duty he found himself so
hampered that he resigned. Mayor Dunno did
nothing until the Indignation of the whole coun-
try forced him 10 action.
We do not believe that the Mayor had any
bad motive in this neglect. The packers are
not his friends. and their employees in the un-
sanitary wOrkrOOms are his friends Moreover
all accounts of Mayor Dunne's character forbid
any suspicion that he would uphold even his
friends in improper courses. But his very inef-
ficiency in spite of his good intentions. and his
failure, until awakened by an outside explosion,
To see TO il that the ordinary duties of the mu-
nicipality with respect TO the packing houses
were discharged, warn us against making gov

things ruler over many things

rose has thus invited the people or the state 10
pass judgment on his career as state and CITY
boss aud TO give him vote of censure or q
vote Of approval.
Such challenge should not have been issued
and the senior Senator has greatly handicapped
the Republican ticket by making its success
equivalent TO an Endorsement of the crippled
Quay machine. If the opposition elements
should unite ON progressive candidate OF the
type of Mr.. Emery. Mayor Weaver or State
Treasurer Berry. the Republican ticket named

THE PEYNsYLTANIA onrLo0K

Senator BOies PenrOse seems 10 have employed
In the Pennsylvania Republican Convention the
strategy effectively used four years ago by
Senator Matthew S. Quay. To appease wide
spread dissatisfaction with the Republican ma
chine and its methods Mr.. Quay in 1902 set aside
the logical organization candidate for the Gov
ernorship and drafted from the bench a nominee
OF eminent respectability and unblemished char
acter. The sagacity OF the lnan0euvre was justi-
fed when Judge PennypaclIer defeated Robert
j. Pattison, who had twice triumphed over Re
publican opponents Of the machine stripe The
Republican machine under Senator Penrose is
immensely feebler than ii ever was under Sen
ator Quay. So the present director has endeav-
ored 10 placate opposition by framing an ad-
inirable reform platform and nominating ticket
OF more than average personal merit
We commended yesterday that portion of the
platform which approved the Presidents policies
with reference 10 the regulation Of railroad
rates, the prosecution OF lawless trusts the
protection OF the people against fraudulent i'm
pure and unwbOlesome foods and the general
restriction OF corporations bent on abusing their
privileges and enriching themselves AT the ex-
pense OF q plundered public On state issues
The declarations OF the Harrisburg convention
are equally pointed and radical They favor
the reduction Of railroad fares TO two cents a
lA4les LAe EXTENSION 10 trolley lines of the right
10 carry freight, the separation. so far as il is
now possible OF the functions Of production and
transportation exercised by mine owning or
mime operating common carriers; the rehabili-
tauoD OF the state canals and the recovery OF
charters granted for competing railroads like

pledges mark great step forward in Pennsyl
Nanla politics and doubtless foreshadoyv the runt
ure Of the secret relations which have 80 Ions

II can hardly be said, however, that the con
Nenuon lived up 20 the text or spirit of it
platform. It's acton was completely dominate
by Senator PenrOse and it's policy was directed
solely 10 the rehabilitation Of the machine whicl
