Greenfield Man Believes in Passing

Postmaster Again.
Palladium Special


Greenfield, Ind, April 15.-This city
has the distinction of having the only
postmaster in the Sixth district to re-
fuse a second term. Newton R. Spen-
Ger, whose term will expire in June,
has notified Congressman Watson
that he will not ask for second term
Notwithstanding the fact that he
would have had no opposition. Mr..
Spencer bases his action on the theo-
ry that the Office is a political job,
given to him in recognition of party
services. He believes that in Demo
cratic stronghold like Hancock coun-
ty, where Republicans are compelled
to work harder than their fellows in
adjoining Republican counties, and
where Republicans have not elected
a county officer, except once in nearly
half a century, the only ONCE they
do have should be passed around.
The Greenfield postoffice pays ST.
500 a year.
Walter G.. Bridges, the present de-
putty and chairman of the Republican
county committee, will be recon-
mended without opposition to succeed

There are few people in this city
who realize the significance Of the
meetings that were held at Earlham
College Friday and Saturday of last
week. A few cranks talking about
idealistic peace and arbitration, has
been the comment heard in several
quarters. But those who voiced such
sentiments knew not of what they
spoke. Last week witnessed the per-
manent organization at Earlham Col
lege of an association of colleges In
this State and Ohio, which has for its
purpose the creation Of spirit of
peace in college men who will later in
life help to frame the policies of this
nation. II is not the purpose of the
new association to teach the principle
of cowardice. The timely comparison
made by Prof. Russell in his address
Saturday, illustrates what the new or
ganization hopes to do. He showed
the difference between the mule and
the high bred horse. The mule when
struck by the whip moves not because
1t has no spirit. while the spirited ami
NAL. although feeling the cutting blow
of its master, is easily restrained be-
cause it has been disciplined. The
horse, like man, as the peace advo-
Gates would have him, stands not be-
cause he has not the spirit to move,
but rather because he has been train
that 1t is best for him not to move.

Toast in Variety,

Toast may also be used as a des-
sert at lunch, and there are dozen
ways in which its plainness may be
improved upon. For the children trim
all crust from the thin slices and
place in the oven until golden brown
all through. Smother it in apple
sauce or pour over the heated juice
from canned fruits and serve cold
with milk or cream. Dip the cut slices
in a raw custard-one egg to a half
pint of milk-and fry quickly with but
ter. Serve hot with butter and spiced
sugar-this is variously known as
German, French and nuns toast. Cut
the slices in circles, saute quickly in
butter drop on each piece a large
spoonful of mashd prunes. and serve
with cream, whipped or plain. Stewed
figs or any marmalede which is not
too rich may also be used.-What to

A delicious English tart is made
by filling a deep baking dish with
sliced apples, well sugared. covering

Canned apricots. drained of their

A pretty dessert is made with a
quart of rich custard for a basis, and
for this the yolls of three eggs are
to be used. When still hot half a
box of gelatine, dissolved in cold wa
ter, is stirred in and the whole
strained. Last of all, the stiff whites
are to be folded in when the custard
is cold, and the whole is put into a
fancy mould on ice When needed it

Checked Wolfe Morning Gown.

A very pleasing idea is smart
morning gown in checked voile. The
color scheme is a practical one, suit
able for a street gown of unusual
smartness. Black and white is al
ways good and very generally becom-
ing. The body of the gown is of
black and white checked voile. The
Ibolero is original in design. Accord
ing to the latest mode it is rather
large, almost meeting upon Elton
lines. A pretty fancy is the buttoned
fchu-like ends which fasten upon the
girdle with large velvet buttons. A
wide collar gives breadth to the fig
ure. This, as well as the tiny applied
collar of embroidery is outlined by
white braid and Richelieu plating
Braid and plating likewise mark the
skirts devant and the wide cuffs. The
skirt is a circular model. Two rows
OF braid and plating set above the
hem form its trimming.

For the Younger Members.

For young girls many new suits are
shown in the various shades of gray.
There is nothing prettier than gray
for either young or old, and the
Ijaunty short Etons or the trim pony
coats are employed with excellent ef-
feet in making up girlish and stylish
suits for misses and young women
The Peter Thompson suits are, how
ever, as satisfactory and as modish
as any dress a schoolgirl can wear,
and if the young girls realize how
much better and how much more
stylish they appear in these sailor
suits than they do in copies of their
mothers or grandmother's gowns
they would not be so desirous of
looking older than their years and
would cheerfully don these becoming,
suitable and girlish suits. Unfor-
tunately, they like to be thought
grown up and nothing will do but
that they should be replicas of older
members of the family SO far as
clothes go.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-03-31
Substitute for Chiffon Scarf.

The delicately colored chiffon scarfs
so much worn are not only expensive.
and easily ruined, but come in so few
shades that a substitute is gladly
welcomed, particularly by those who
like to have their garments always
fresh. The long wells, made of chif-
fon, as are the scarfs. but costing
much less, are worn by many girls,
and have the additional advantage
over the regular scarfs that they
come in a much greater variety of
colors. Adjusted so that the border
is neatly hidden the effect is exactly
the same, as If miladi wore a scarf,
and she may have one for each gown,
and renew them with much greater
frequency without making a very
large hole in her pocketbook.
