Pumpkin Pies, Too

An Ohio paper denounces the doubling Of
the cost of pumpkin pies and calls for the
prosecution of dealers in pumpkins, which
shows little intelligence in the attempted
roundup of proilteers. The pumpkin is one
Of the most opulent gifts of nature in guam
tity A pumpkin seed discounts grain OF
corn in the abundance of what can be pro-
dueed in single season The great golden
globes can be seen by wagonloads in the corn
fields when harvest home is near and frost be-
gins to tingle in the autumnal breeze. One
big pumpkin goes long way in the making of
pies. 1t is the other ingredients that cost
some of them assembled from distant regions
Of the earth. OF itself, stewed pumpkin is a
remarkably tasteless thing. 1t would be a
iaughable item on bill of fare. Frances
gifted cooks have been able to do nothing with
the pumpkin. Ame,ican genius: has unques..
tionably beaten them in pumpkin pies, baked
beans, succotash. clam chowder, doughnuts,
and, of course, apple pies.
A plea of failure in raising pumpkins can
not be allowed. If the government specially
encouraged them as a crop, storage room would
soon be overwhelmed and pumpkin pies be as
scarce and dear as ever. Sweet potatoes at
ford good substitute, though the tang OF
favor is not quite the same. Science. II neces-
sary, could supply the pumpkin flavor in con-
eentrated essences. But what an idea, with
pumpkins so ponderously profuse and easily
multiplied.
Prohteers would be glad to see nvestigat-
ing committees sidetracked on pumpkins

Testing the Farm Bureau Law.

The suit instituted in Hall county to test
the so-called farm bureau law will bring a
benefit, no matter which way it is determined.
If the present law is valid, some of its defects
may be cured by amendment. If not good
law, then the work must be started over For
the basic idea is sound. Farmers need the as
sistance that is afforded by the county agent
and the farm bureau. If the work is ntelligently
done and instructions carefully followed, the
increase in yield will compensate many times
for the expense. Objection may be laid against
the use of public money for the purpose, but
this may be answered without stretching the
point that the expenditure is for public good.
The general fund of state and counties is used
in other ways to promote the interests and eff
cheney of agriculture and its allied industries,
and no hardship is worked upon any when a
portion is employed directly to improve meth
DDS of husbandry in general or particular, Our
farmers are progressive and are rapidly learn
ing better ways of doing old things.

L. c. A. K. Martens, the Bolshevist
Ambassador" to the United States,
admitted yesterday, that it was prob
ably true that Bolshevik forces in a
series of encounters had killed and
wounded American soldiers at Roman
ovka, Siberia, as reported Yesterday
by The Associated Press. But he in
sisted that if Americans were attacked
it was because they were part of the
Kolchak forces and not because thew
were Americans.
Martens said that the Bolsheviki
bear no enmity toward the Americans

derstand why they should be fighting

was reported that the Bolsheviki cap

one lieutenant. We now know that the
Bolsheviki liberated them immediately
and as far as | remember, it was Off
cially admitted by General Graves,
the American commandant in Siberia.
The Bolsheviki are not fighting the
Americans, but the Kolchak forces.
According to Martens, large anti

this region of Siberia, estimated at
between $4,000 and $4,000 men.

Hylan's Name Replaces
Mitchel's ON Tablet
Stonecutter Changes Record
Marking Erection of Black
wells Island Building

A stone tablet which peeps over the
edge of Queensborough Bridge from
its place on top of ten-story ware
house on Blackwell's Island says John
T. Hylan was mayor when the build
ing was erected.
The cornerstone of this building was
laid on October %, 1917, when Mayor
Hylan was county judge in Brooklyn
and mayoralty candidate. The late
Mayor Mitchell favored ths erection of
this building because fire apparatus
could be brought to the island by using
runaway to the roof and a huge
elevator to the ground. Before that,
city officials were perplexed by the
problem Of fighting large fire on the
island.
A bronze plate was placed near the
cornerstone to tell posterity that John
furroy Mitchell was Mayor when the
building was erected. A stone tablet
was placed on the top floor, visible
from the bridge, and conveying the
Same information.
Recently a stonecutter spent long
nours with the tablet. When ne left

Threatens to Call Special
Session of Aldermen to
Pass Measure Aimed to
Stop Street Brokerage
He Hotly Assails Mayor
Declares He Is in Error
When He Says Special
Privileges Are Granted

Robert L. Moran, president Of the
Board of Aldermen and the recognized
leader of the Democratic majority in
the board, declared yesterday that un-
less Mayor Hylan withdrew his veto of
The Quinn ordinance licensing curb
brokers be would convoke special
session of the board, which adjourned
Monday week for the summer, to pass
Tho measure over the Mayors veto.
This ordinance. which was introduced
hv Alderman William i. Quinn, a Re-
nublican, following disclosures tending
h show that some of the curb brokers
were not keeping faith with their
clients, provided that all curb brokers,
regardless of where they traded, should
nav an annual license fee of $500 to
the Commissioner of Licenses. There
we're several other drastic provisions
which were eliminated before the Com
mittee on General Welfare of the
Board reported out the Quinn ordi-
nance.
The Mayors veto, according to some
aldermen, followed q visit of a dele
cation Of curb brokers to the Mayors
Office.
aThe Mayor" said President Moran,
was laboring under a great mistake
when he vetoed the message. He did
am aware Of before taking this action.
Had he done so, he would not have
vetoed this message, which is necessary
if we are to supervise the curb brokers.
1.-THE Mayor evidently did not read
the ordinance when he vetoed it.
Otherwise, he could not have written
in his veto message that the curb
brokers' readily could evade the ordi-
nance by moving their activities to
other quarters within, a block or so of
the present site. The fact is that on the
day of its passage Alderman Collins,
chairman of the Committee on General
Welfare, amended the measure SO that
it applied to any street in the city of
New York.
Calls 1t Exclusive Grant
"The Mayor is further in error when
he wrote in his veto message that the
ordinance appears to grant to the said
association lof curb brokers) an, ex-
elusive privilege, that is, the privilege
Of selling, exchanging and trading. in
stocks at the particular site mentioned
The very first section Of the vetoed
ordinance read: All persons dealing in
4 the purchase, sale or exchange of
stocks, bonds, notes or securities, in
or upon any street in the City Of New
York, shall be deemed curb brokers'
Surely this is not an exclusive grant.
"The reasons set forth by the Mayor
in his veto are not only insufficient, but
incorrect. His Honor's failure to con-
slider the aldermen makes it necessary
that we assert ourselves"
Alderman Quinn had this to say:
"The Mayor con nstantly is telling the
poor that he loves them, yet he does
not give them a chance to voice their
opinion of an ordinance which is aimed
at ending the swindling operations OF
few curb brokers'"
The Quinn ordinance was passed by
unanimous vote of the board. Forty
eight votes, or two-thirds OF the total
membership, are necessary to pass the
measure over the Mayors veto
