Automobiling in the wind and
with the dust flying IS a serious
menace TO the skin. Women, there
fore, are rubbing their faces well
with sweet olive oil and dusting
them afterward with rice powder
before they tie on their wells for a
long trip. Happily the desire for be
coming sunburned has gone quite
out OF fashion.

DON'T BLAME US

Day before yesterday perfectly
nice lady called up with tears in
her eyes and reproved us for not
mentioning the fact that she had .
friend visiting her last week. We
told her that she had not let us
know that she had visitor. Then
she said, We'll, you should have
known. thot you were running .
newspaper" Wouldn't that rattle
your Stats? Some people think that
an editor ought to be a cross be-
tween an Argus and Anna Eve Fav..
They seem to think that our five
senses are augmented by sixth
that LET'S US know everything that
happens, even though we see, hear,
feel, smell or taste it not. Dear
ally, editors are only human or
at least almost human. If you have
a friend visiting you, if you are
going away or have returned from
a visit out OF town, if johnny falls
and breaks an arm, if yonr hus-
band chops his toe instead OF a
stick of wood, if anything happens
to make you glad or sad or mad,
call US up. Tell us about it. That's
the way to get it in the paper.

The English sparrow is q scrapp-

putting other birds to flight sd

bully too, and terroripes the small
Or birds, especially in the aestiag
season.
But the English sparrow has hin
uses and is valuable to the farmer
and householder in many ways. He
feeds in summer on q large number
OF insect pests, among them the
alfalfa weevil, which in some states
is threatening to destroy the alfalfa
industry.
Other birds, too. have their uses,
many of them to a much greater
extent than the English sparrow
and we must not allow this pug
nacicus little fellow to scare the
other birds away.
English sparrows do not like
swinging nests. Their chief Joy
seems to be in sitting on the perches
in front Of stationary nests Of other
bids and harassing the inmates as
they so in and out.
We can prevent this by putting
up swinging nesting places without
perches. Most birds do not care for
perches, and nest is much safer
without them.
The entrances to the nests of the
smaller birds, wrens, bluebirds, and
chicadees must he too small for the
plump body Of the English sparrow
to enter, then if there are no perch.

HOUSE ATTACHES
TAKEFEALTY OATH

Secretaries and clerks to members
OF the lower branch of Congress were
today having the novel experience OF
taking the oath of allegiance to the
Government and having their names
placed on the rolls of the House.
Blanks and other papers were sent
yesterday by Tyler Page, clerk of the
House, to each Congressman that he
may comply with the recent resolu-
tion providing for the appointment Of
two clerks.
Some of the secretaries are con-
siderably disturbed on the bill. For
years they had protested against their
small salary of 81 500. Congress in
cresad il to $1,000 and then to SO, 200.
II began to appear that they would
receive 5000 per annum. But the
House made it mandatory for the
members to name two clerks instead
OF one.
If clerk or secretary receives more
than $4,000, he or she does not profIC
by the $40 bonus.
In most cases the members will
place their secretary on the rolls at
$500. The bonus will increase the
salary to $2.740. The remaining Sa4O

The bill specifically states that no
money for clerk hire wilI1e paid d.

Dry Law Means Cheaper i,
COrks for Housewife to
Use in Canning Sauces

Here's cheering news along
with the dry" wave for Mrs.
Housewife from the American
Forestry Association, which pre-
diets the price OF corks should
begin to drop with the country
going dry.
The common or garden variety
of cork comes from trees in
Spain, and 1t is very evident the
cork trees do not know anything
about this country going dry, and
will go right on producing corks
as il nothing had happened.
It should follow, the American
Forestry Association points out,
if the law of supply and demand
keeps working, Mrs. Housewife
will have plenty OF cheap corks
for all those bottles OF chilli
sauce, tomato catsup, and kindred
things she is putting up this
summer. In other words it's an
i'll wind, etc, etc.

HANG BOOTLEGGERS
IN. SONORA, MEXICO
They handle 'em rough in Mexico!

They handle EN- rouSh In mexico!
According to dispatches which
reached the State Department yester-
day through official channels. the pro-
hibition law in the Mexican state Of
Sonora is enforced by the simple, il
somewhat harsh, expedient OF sum-
marily executing the offenders.
Whether the execution takes place
in the electric chair, or by the good
oId-fashioned hanging method, or
whether the devotees OF ole John Bar
leycorn are just stood up against q
wall and shot, isn't known, but the
news OF the latest method of handling
bootleggers came over the wires yes
terday, when Department of Justice
officials had their heads together fS-
uring out the best way OF dealing with
American offenders.
The edict in Sonora was made effec-
tive by a decree issued by Gov. Plu-
tarcho Elias Callas. just before he
accepted a position in President Car
ranZa's cabinet.

'|Meats in Storage"

Every working day of the year IS 900 pounds
of meat required supply home and export needs
and only 10 per cent of this is exported.
These facts be kept insslind when consider
ing the u S. Bureau of Markets report that on June
|, 1919, there were ,348OOO 900 pounds of meats
in cold storage. IF the meat in storage was placed
on the market it would only be 20 days supply.
This meat is not ar6hcially withheld from trade
channels to maintain or advance prices
Meats In storage consist Of
IS per cent (approxmate) hams bacon etc., in
process of curing 1t takes 30 to 90 days in
pickle or salt to comp lete the process
10 per cent is frozen pork that be cured later
in the year.
per cent is lard This is only fourhfths of
pound per CAPITA and much of it will have to
go to supply European needs
I9 per cent is frozen beef and lamb part Of
which is owned by the Government and was
intended chiefly for overseas shipment. If
this were all diverted to domestic trade chan
nels. it would be only / lbs. per capita-a
days supply
T003
From this it will be that meats in STORAGE"
represent merely unfinished goods in process of cur
ing and the working supply necessary to assure the
customer a steady flow of finished product
