OWEN ASAILS THE
 LURE OF GOLD"

Washington, April 14.-Charging that corporate bodies today control not only the legislatures but the courts of the United States, and that law in these in- stances no longer means justice, Sena- tor Owen of Oklahoma last night speak, ing at the Maundy Thursday dinner of the Scottish Rite Masons of the District of Columbia, assailed the lure of gold"

Yes, I found Florence a great inspira- tion; it is beautiful and interesting, and MT. Moretti's friendships among other ar lists was also a help to me, for I recog- nized the value of criticism from all who know art, no matter how divergent may be their viewpoints.

She was very pretty, very voluble and as she could not speak one word of English. she was very helpful to me. And how she could cook. We had such good things to eat-except sometimes" she added ruefully. Our lit tie maid was somewhat prone to moods and-heavens .--the things she gave us to eat when she had one of her moods, Els pecially well do I remember the visit of a sister of one of MT Moretti's dearest Br- mgnham friends.

But this was only rare domestic tragedy, and like the few others, left the household calm without even a ripple. The little maid was grief stricken when we returned to America without her. You know, a faithful servant expects this as a reward for service, but we knew that there would be no place for her in New York, and so she was left behind. Our villa belonged to a wealthy wine mer-

 "Why, you know, that is considered one of the very simplest operations nowadays that is performed" is the answer Its something like having a'tooth drawn or going to the chiropo- dist. The best surgeons expect their patients to be out and running all over town in less than 10 days. Now, If you had had the operation performed that Molly had you might talk because Mol ly's was really fearful! Indeed, she passed away gently within the hour. after she was removed from the table but all the doctors pronounced 1t a signal success!'
 How could I talk about 1t If I were like Molly, when she happens to be dead, according to your own state ment?' is the answer.

 Yes replied the friend hoplessly.

 HOW can you treat such serious sub ject so lightly?" says the victim, who Is to be operated on. People have died from such an ordeal,'' and then she pro ceeds to look like she would really like to die just to prove that such thing can result from so simple cause. 'I have never heard of anything so

 However, if we were going to have our own tonsils removed the next day it would be very different point of view, but we refuse to consider anybody else s as of any particular importance.
 A woman who Is a member of very large family and who was recently oper- ated on was both shocked and pained to hear that one of her relatives regarded the event that she was about to undergo as sort of pleasureable affair. sort of an excitement, something to talk about, and discuss whether in the event "any- thing happened she would look well in "black"
 Two days after the operation, while the pa tient was still feeling i'll and faint, she learned from a chance remark, from one of her visitors, that her relatives had given a party the evening before.
 When they came to see her the next day she taxed them with their hard heartedness and they explained their po- sition with really charming naivete.
 "We were so delighted, dear, that you were getting along so well that we simply had to show our relief in some way, and so we had a few intimate friends in.'
 The "Opera-tee," If such she can be termed, found some reparation for the dreadful experiences by relating the grue- some details of the operation to every friend she met, once she got out of the hospital, but even that was denied her by most of her friends, because they couldn't think it was so bad If her family had a party during her illness, and they would consequently turn the conversation to their own experiences. which were far more exciting, and so the poor woman really got no pleasure out of her oper- ation at all. .

10000 Women Bought It Yesterday

This is an entirely new dish-this Van Camps Spaghetti.
 This is one of the few towns where most grocers have it.
 But, even now, 1000 women are buy- ing it daily. We have never created such a popular dish.
 Some people have eaten spaghetti in Rome and wished they could bring a supply back to America.
 But our chefs, in two years, have per- fected . recipe better than Italy ever knew.
 The recipe is secret. We can never reveal it to you. But, of the 17 in. gredients, the main ones are these:
 Durum wheat spaghetti.
 Herkimer County full cream cheese.
 Best creamery butter.
 The same superlative tomato sauce
 we use in Van Camps Pork & Beans. The dish is prepared in our kitchens and supplied to you ready to- serve. Simply heat it or bake it, as you prefer. It costs you less than to make it your- self, even if we told you how.
 This is dish you ought to know, and know it while it's new. You'll find yourself serving it ten times as often as you serve spaghetti now.
 Tell your grocer to send you some. Company E'';:ssr'a ;ssi Indianapolis, Ind.

Little News Received
From the Strike

Little news is received regarding the
strike situation on the Hartman rail
roads. Both sides claim hat every.
thing ia working toward the ends de-
sired. The railroads continue to add to
the shop forces by bringing in men from
other sections, most Of them coming
from Chicago. They are not being
shipped by train loads. a few coming
each day. The shops at Ogden have
been prepared for a long siege, while
the strikers continue to add pickets to
their force. Everything is again quiet
at San Francisco. No trouble is re-
ported at Sacramento and the Sparks
shops are running with about one-half
the usual force.
The strikersin Sparks have issued a
proclamation stating that the engines
and cars are leaving the yards in poor
condition and ask that the Federal au-
thorities take q hand in the matter and
enforce the inspection rules set up by
the Government. No action is being
taken by either the State or Federal
authorities on this line. The railroad
management denies that any faulty
engines or cars are being SEM out.
Some delay is being found in train ser
vice, but not of u serious nature.
Freight trains are experiencing some
difficulty, but passengers SO far are
