FRENCH PEOPLE ARE

Paris. August 6.-(Specia1 lin another
rs of his Instructive statistical articles, Dr.
JACQUES Bertilon informs us that three
suuarters of the French men and women
own some property when they reach the

any rate it exists, showing that its
possessor has not been in distress, as If
he had been in needy circumstances he

EX-SULTAN RETURNS
TO BARBARIAN HOME

Paris, August 2.-(Special )-Ex-S Sultan
Abdul Aziz of Morocco has shaken the
dust of civilization off his feet and re-
turned to his native barbarism; in othe,
words, he has left Marseilles for Tan
Rier. where he will tell wonderful tales
of the strange customs and marvellous
inventions of Europe.
While staying In Marseilles he was
constantly being terrified by such APP
parenty supernatural affairs as electric
elevators and ferry bridges.
One evening Abdul visited a vaude-
vile show, where a battle of flowers had
been arranged in his honor, but with
out his knowledge After enjoying the
various acts on the programme, he was
startled by well-aimed bouquet land
ing on his face, followed by another and
another, and finally 1t seemed to rain
sweet-smelling missiles. The whole au-
dience, In fact, were pelting him with
flowers With startled invocation Oh
Allah. the ex-sultan bounded to the door
and hid himself in cab that happened
10 be standing outside.

GERMAN EMPEROR
PATRON OF RACING

Berlin. August 6.-(Special.) THE Ger
man Emperor has formally abandoned his
opposition to horse racing by becoming
patron of the Union club In Berlin, the
principal turf club in Germany. The Union
club consists of very exclusive men,
bership, and it exercises authority over
every race course in Germany, but the
Kaiser has hitherto withheld his patron
age, and has demonstratvely remained
away from the race course. Not only SO,
but he has repeatedly expressed his dis
approval of officers taking part in horse
racing, and particularly of betting. For
many years. indeed. the Kaiser boycotted
all horse races.

other hand. in the rural districts in the
center of France it is seldom that man
or even woman of 30 has not some
thing to leave. The proportion of people
who own something, however little it
may be- it much greater in France than
in any other country about which statis-
teal information can be derived Doctor
jacques Bertilon asks whether this fact
may not explain the extraordinary small
ness of the birth rate, and he concludes
with the remark: This is how condi-
lions, which are apparently excellent,
NAV have the most disastrous conse-
quenees."
1t is, by the way, of interest to observe
that this distinguished statistician con-
siders that England is nearly twice as

DANDELION AS FOOD
PROVES A DELICACY
Pennsylvania Germans Wizards
With Despised Plant

Notwithstanding the general increase
in the cost of living there is one dainty
which the Pennsylvania Germans are
enjoying now just as In the springtime
OF past years, says the Chicago Inter-
Ocean That dainty is the dandelion
Pennsylvania German housewives are
famous not alone for their skill as
cooks. but also for producing savory
dishes at the least possible cost
Among them the preparation of the
dandelion for the table has become an
art Usually it is cooked like spinach
or eaten as a salad.
Some of the favorite recipes have
been handed down as legacies from
mother to daughter for many gener-
atoms Like most recipes of Pennsyi-
vania German cookery, they are not
written out by those who invent them,
nor do the women who possess them
seem able to impart their mysteries
with any degree of precision to per-
sons not imbued with the Pennsyi-
vania German culinary instinct
Pennsylvania German cooks are born
and not made, and they do not reduce
their art to cold mathematical formu-
las. In explaining certain concoc-
tion to one deemed worthy of their
confidence they say: II take me as
much salt as will go on the end Of g.
knife-so." or You Just take not quite
a cup of -four" or "Just pour a little
molasses into it and mix it until it is
ready-so."
AS a salad dandelion is usually pre-
pared like lettuce, though instead Of
the mayonnaise dressing popular else :
where a dressing of hot bacon fat Is
sometimes preferred.
Several experiments have been made
in the Pennsylvania German country
in the cultivation of the plant for mar
ket.
man living at Rittersville, Lehi gh
county. has laid out several large beds
on the slope of a hill. The dandelion
patch evidently is as enticing to GER
tain Pennsylvania Germans as the
watermelon patch is to certain individ-
uals of duskier race, for this spring
the owner of the Rittersville planta-
ton had man arrested on charge
of surreptitiousiy digging up two bag

With MAYOR MOTT
Opposition Ticket to Charter
Convention Nominees Is
Placed in Field

.- OAKLAND, May. %. - There were
rapid developments in the campaign
for new city charter today. The filing
with the city clerk of the nomination

vention was followed within a few
hours by the circulation OF petitions,

that labor would not support the nom
inees Of the charter convention. There
are eight new men in the field today
with nomination papers.
1t is understood that these men are
generally acceptable to labor, while a
number Of them are representatives of
organized labor. 1t is known that they
are being backed and their petitions
circulated by the administration forces,
and that they will stand for the prin-
~ pie of a commission form of govern
rment, bat one headed by an elected
mayor. IT is believed that the demand
OF labor that union men. union wages
and union hours be the rule in city
work will receive attention from these
men.
The new nominees are: Richard M.
Hsmb. business agent Of the building
trades council; Hugh Hogan of the Ho-
gan lumber company; Fred L. Shaw, at
torney; Aubert Kayser. vice president
of the Bank of Germany; John ]. Nc
