HoME-LAND COOKING.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST

Never mind your fancy dishes and your
foreign menu cards
If that sort of food needs singing. twill
be done by other bards:
As for me, III keep my singing and such
praise as / can utter
For the simple meal of homeland with its
good old bread and butter.
oh, I do not want to order from list
of thirty dishes
There is one at home who knows me.
knows my wants and knows my
wishes;
And do not want a waiter at my elbow
bending DER me,
All I'm after is the dinner which has been
selected for me-
I'm for good old bread and butter on the
table round and oaken.
And the children bowed in silence while the
simple grace is spoken:
And l Ike to do the carving and the serv-
ing, and I tell you
That one meal at home beats forty that
some hotel has to sell you
So while others praise the cooking of some
white-capped chef who fiayors
All his gravies rich with spices, I've
humber taste which faTors
Just the simpler meals of bome-iaDd-and
full many a time I mutter
Prayers of gratitude and giadness just for
good old bread and butter-

Food
I Some people consider certen things
fgrate, sutch as fish and taffioca, vile
on the other hand some people would
ent even mention them as food Some
people eat noodle soop for the soop
vile others eat it for the noodles, the
effect being the same in both cases on
account of one being so hard to eat
without the other.x Some people like
spinitch chopped fine, vile others
wou1dent event taist it no matter wat
happened to iH Some people would
drather eat hard berled eggs than diz-
zert, vile others like them SO soft
they ony keep their shape as long
as they are surrounded by their shell.
Some people eat the inside out of
their pie vile others jest eat the crust
and leeve the inside standing there
as if they never even noticed it. Some
people don't like hardly eny butter
on their bred vile others put so
mulch on that the bred is completely
diskized.
Animals.
Horses are some peoples favorite
animals, vile others would drather
have a dog than a horse eny day in
spite of the diffrents in size. Ladies
like cats. but boys and dogs hardly
consider they are werth the trubbIe
to chase up trees and over fentses,
On the other hand hardly enybody
likes flies except spiders.
Ferniture.
Boys prefer to set on the floor,
ware there's leest danger and most
comfort, vile men and ladies would
drather set on chairs ware leg mite

other hand will ony set on a pertch

There appears to be a popular be-
lief that existing economic conditions,
especially the slump in business, is
due to a strike Of buyers against high
prices. Announcement to this effect
was made and generally accepted at
about the time that prices began TO
fall. The truth is that owing to
lack of means to make payment, Eu-
rope ceased to buy our goods, in the
quantities previously taken. PRODUCE
ton had been spurred UP until pro-
ducers found themselves with big
stocks of their wares on hand for
which there waA no market. They
did the most natural and businesslike
thing to do; they cut prices Then
aud not until then did the public stop
buying. Nobody buys beyond his i'm
mediate needs on a falling market,
Free buying will not be resumed until
the public has become convinced that
tho bottom or at least a>stabilized lev
eel has been reached. This viii not
take place until transportation rates
and wages come down.

Some of them certainly overlook our
strong points in their eagerness to
show up our weak ones. But there
seems to be a growing feeling that
all of this criticism is healthy. An in
dividuai who regards himself as ma
lures ultimate masterpiece. who seems
to think that there is little room in
him for Improvement, and that every
one else ought to use him as model,
Is not generally admired Such an
individual is not apt to grow and i'm
prove. On the contrary, he usually
inspires the feeling that he has some
hard bumps coming to him, and needs
them. He is commonly described as
SNUG.
America. before the war, whatever
her virtues. was undeniably SNUG.
And since the war that sInugness has
to some extent disappeared. 1t is
surely a good sign. America is be-
coming self-conscious and self critical.
And that feeling, in both men and
nations, is the origin of all progress.

that indicated by the New York
papers IT one wished to disappear,
crowded street would be one OF the
most satisfactory of exits,
The motive which actuates tie in
dividual who disappears is even less
mystifying. There are moments in
the life of every man and woman
when he feels he can't stand It IN
other minute.
Another thing the wel1-known Mr..
Stillman has learned is that there ars
some things money and position won't
buy. One of them is public sentiment
Just the other day we took a pair
of old shoes into a repair shop. We
explained to the attendant we wanted
the heels renewed. and particularly de
rected the attendant to a slight break
in the sole which we desired repaired.
The need of new heels was SO obvious
that we did not dwell upon it; but we
returned again and again to the mat
ter of the sole. a matter, by the way,
which one stitch would have msnded.
That night we paid for the repairs
asked and carried the shoes home.
only to discover that. while the heels
had been renewed, the break in the
sole had not been touched.
Life is like that. A succession of
Annoying incidents beats daily upon
the activities. No wonder people wish
to disappear from it!
Not that We are in any hurry, but
that we have no difficulty in under
standing the people who are.
However, We fail wholly to under
stand this Casey Stengel He wants

SIZZLING SUMMER
MAKES ALL GOTHAM
LONG FOR SWIMMING
(By The Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-The sizzling
summer OF 1921 has made all New
York want to go a-swimming but
there isn't room enough for all to
swim.
On week-ends it's strong man who
can battle into lighthouses at nearby
beaches and even il there were more
lighthouses. it's hard to imagine how
many more thousands could gain foot
hold on the crowded sands.
So. from City Hall, down everyone
is trying TO locate new swimming
holes-and a twentieth century swim
ming hole in Americas largest city is
costly proposition. Mayor Hylan
has urged construction of swimming
pool in Central Park and il has been
suggested that an unneeded reservoir
be converted to the uses OF perspir-
ing citizenry. but at present it's all
talk, and talk is even more heating
Meanwhile special shower baths
have been built in tenement districts,
street cleaners hosing the heated
pavements wash down youngsters for
the asking and in the smaller parks
dotting the city the police aren't quite
so Jealous in driving amphibious
street urchins out of the fountains.
The worlds largest swimming pool
has been opened in Madison Square
Garden, dock-diving along the Hud-
son, Harlem and East Rivers is as
ever. and now and then a neighbor-
hood produces something unique in the
way OF bathing tub
For instance the firemen at the
Greenwich Village station house have
built a wooden pool for the neighbor-
hood youngsters. and artists and poets
of the section lay aside palette and
pen every day to watch a young
woman instruct her splashing pupils
