The hardest part Of flying Is land

PUMPKIN PIE ALWAYS GOOD
Therefore Observer Wants to Know
Why 1t Has Not Been Served In
the Sprinqtime,

a 'neie man asked me the other day,
why doesn't the housewife make
pumpkin pies in the spring when fresh
eggs are cheapest?" Why, indeed?
The fact Is we are creatures Of
habit and are inclined TO follow ira
ditiOns in our cooking. Our foremoth-
ers made pumpkin pies in the fall be-
cause the pumpkins are ripe at that
time. She continued the pies through
the cold weather as long as she could
keep pumpkins In her cool cellar.
Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners
always included pumpkin pie. The
pumpkin supply was exhausted about
this time, and therefore no more pump
kin pies were possible until the next
autumn.
Times have changed. Now we have
the pumpkin In sanitary cans all ready
for the pie, and we can use 1t at any
time we please. Pumpkin takes the
place Of fruits, which are already
scarce as time goes on.
The springtIme Is the time for pump
kin pies-eggs and milk are then most
plentiful, and therefore cheap. 1t Is
the time for custards. Our grandmoth-
ers established that custom, too. Pump
kin pie Is after all custard In which
the pumpkin pulp predominates, there
fore belongs by right In the spring
and summer.
This is just one more instance In
which we should drop the traditions
which are outgrown and adopt Gus
tom suited to our times.
Our family Is sure to be surprised
to find the luscious pumpkin pie served
for dessert, and undoubtedly, like
Oliver Twist, 1t will ask for more
Exchange.

Early Christianity In tho East.

While the Christian king OF France
was engaged in earning the title Of
"St. Louis" by extirpating a people Of
whose, creed he disapproved, his en-
voy the friar. came to a country
which had attained complete religious
liberty and federation. He found his
own creed treated with especial
courtesy. the great khan subscribing
1000 marks to rebuild chapel on the
behest Of IN Armenian monk. He re-
lates that the privilege was accorded
to the church of trying any Of their
number accused OF theft; that the
khan's secretary and his favorite wife
were Chrlstians.-From "The Russian

Educating Greek Farmers.

American scientific agriculturists

soil possibilities of Crete in the same

have been made to educate the farmers
Of Greece and Crete so that they can

JAPANESE WAY WITH B0RES
People Have Curious Method Of Get
ting Rid of Caller Who Out
/ stays Welcome.

once In long while n caller comes
to ones house or office or study and
ovcrStayS his welcome, writes Cleland
Il. McAfee. in Forward. He Of course
Is not conscious of this breach. All
he needs is something to remind him
ne has stayed long enough. So far
no device has been discovered for end
ing the call without risk Of offense
though various formulas have been
tried out. a few years ago q friend
'o'd group OF acQuuintances that he
always received his callers standing,
and saw to 1t that there were no
chairs in the room. Needless to saw.
the calls were always short. 1t was
the common opinion among his listen
ers that this would be harder on him
than on the callers. But that was his
affair
Perhaps the japanese have come as
near as any to solving the problem.
A missionary to that land tells how.
when person makes too long n call,
and apparently doesn't know 1t Is time
for him to leave, they. stand n broom
upside down somewhere in the house.
Aii' 10 SIuTlll, supposed TO throw
spell over the caller, and all unknown
to himself he Is compelled to go home.
The broom doesn't have to be seen by
the visitor; any obscure corner will
do. The missionary tells of her own
cook. not yet a Christian. who was so
annoyed by callers who interfered
with the dinner hour that she was
Just starting to turn the broom upside
down when the callers left. OF course
that confirmed the superstition. In
America brooms have been known to
rid a house Of visitors. but ordinarily
we adopt more drastic ways of han
ding 1t to gain that result
1t Is not clear whether the Japanese
method Is more interesting as SUPER
stttion or as courtesy. Certainly It
Is not peculiar to that nation to con-
meet things which can have no real re-
lation, but 1t is Of the very essence of
the race to think of way to get
things done without offending. At any
rate there Is the custom.

A GREAT LIGHT .DAWNS.


T N. THE first Of fJanuary,1 1920, a law goes into
effect by which the finance committee of the
:, senate and the ways and means committee OF
the house are to form joint committee to fix what
expenditures are to be undertaken for the financial
year And when the figures have been reached, no
thing can be added to them except by intervention
of the president or by twothirds vote of the COM
Inittee., @.f
This is better than allowing twenty different
committees to authorize expenditures whenever
they feel like it. 1t is extremely difficult to do these
things, even when the outings are all recorded in
one book. But when a whole library of ledgers is
kept recording the financial azzconcerts OF twenty
committees, the agglomeration is simply kaleido-
scope. ~
No wonder that this has been the most expens-
lively run country in the world No wonder there
have been taxes on everything, from medicine to
children's toys. The recently passed measure
marks the beginning of better day. When &C
counts are kept in such way that we can really
tell what we are spending, we will probably spend
less, and need less.

The Wonders Of America
By T. T. MAxEY
NIAGARA FALLS.

IF you can imagine a river three
i fourths of a mile wide, 20 feet deep
in the middle, and containing thou
sands and thousands of tons Of water,
suddenly tumbling over cliff 16O feet
high and dashing on the rocks below
with a deafening roar and throwing
up huge clouds Of mist and spray, you
have some impression Of what Nj
agara Falls, the worlds best-known
and most popular waterfall, is like.
This majestic cataract Is situated in
the Niagara river, between Lake Erie
and Lake Ontario and near the city
of Buffalo. N. Y. Ny-ah-ga-rah is an
Indian word, meaning laundering
Waters. Members Of the Seneca tribe,
tis said, considered the roar of the
falls as the voice of the Great Spirit.
Thinking he inhabited the spray, they
made many and various offerings to
this deity.
The waterfall divides itself into two
parts, American Falls and the Horse
shoe or Canadian Falls. Nine-tenths
of the flow, which is estimated to be
100000 tons per minute, passes over
the Horseshoe Falls, which is by far
the more impressive Of the two.
Below the falls the river is consider
ably narrower than it is above the
falls, and the water rushes, at fright
full speed, through seven-mile-long
gorge, in which is located the famous
Whirlpool Rapids.
The edge of the cliff over which the
water plunges into the canyon below,
wears away at the rate of about five
feet year. Biologists declare that
this mighty fall has been in operation
for about 10000 years.

TYING UP OIL PRODUCTION.

II AWYERS, courts, state and federal officials
consume public funds but add nothing to the
productive wealth Of the country j.
After tying up nearly $5OO,OOOOOO worth of
oil lands in California in litigation for seven years
the case will now be appealed.
p. Local and federal courts have decided that the
lands were rightfully obtained by individuals and
companies for mineral oil production. J..
~ But of course it makes fees and important litig-
alton that employs army Of federal attorneys and
othercourt officials to appeal
What do the official class &c care whether we are
running short on oil and oil products or not not SO
long as they can draw salaries.
Government has become M awful nightmare in
more ways than one and is the principal obstacle to
return of normal conditions.

CROP SURPLUS MAKES FREIGHT
CARS SCARCE


AS further evidence that the freight
car situation can really be attributed
70 the general crop surplas, bulle-
tin issued today by San Francisco
bank estimates California's wheat
arvest at 100000 bushels, double
nat of last year and the largest
;ince 1907.
1t is estimated that the national
production of barley will reach
95,00O,OO0 bushels Of which Calf
ornia will yield 31,15O,OOO bushels,
nearly one-sixth.
The estimate for rice is 100000
bushels of paddy. California's pro-
portion of this is more than one
fifth, 8,7500OO bushels, phenomenal
crop with respect to rapid strides in
development.
Some indication of the tremendous
movement of perishables out of Calf
ornia may be gained from the esti-
mate of the Pacific Fruit Express
that the amount of eice used this year
in safeguarding shipments is 63 per-
cent above that of last year. Inter-
state shipments by the Pacific Fruit
Express from January 1,1919 to Sept
ember 30, total over $4,000 carloads
as against 81, 900 for the same period
last year.
The grape movement is already
24O0 cars ahead of last year.
In the face of this phenomenal de-
mand for equipment, the railroads
are imploring shippers to load to the
limit and release cars Immediately.
