BLANES RED TAPE
 FOR MUCH MISERY
Senator Walsh Vigorously Attacks Plan of Caring for Soldiers-"Dis- order and Filth in Hospitais'-
 Urges Remedies.

Washington, April 27.-Treatment nf former soldiers in the matter of hospital care, compensation, vocation al training and insurance, was criti- rixed severely today by Senator Walsh. Democrat, Massachusetts, who introduced bills to remedy conditions about which the war veterans have complained.
 Senator Walsh pronounced "incred- fhIer some of the conditions in admin fskering soldier relief laws. In many soldier hospitals, he declared there IS Hack of sanitary accommodations, disorders and filth" Insurance bene- fits are curtailed, the Massachusetts senator said, and vocational training denied.
 Government bureaucracy" and asred tape" were ascribed as reasons.
 That the three principal agencies nf soldier rehabilitation, the war risk insurance bureau, the federal board for vocational education, and the pub lie health service had failed miser- ably m co-ordinated efforts" was as- serted by Senator Walsh.
 Changes Urged.
 To aid the veterans, Mir. Walsh's biIl would provide conspicuous pro- gram of legislation, including
 Repeal of the law forbidding pay nsent of compensation to incapacitated ex-service men unless their disability occurred within one year after dis charge.
 Repeal of the law limiting filing of claims to five years after the armis- tice.
 Repeal of the law requiring veter- ans to prove that tuberculosis, or cer- tain other ailments were caused by Their service.
 Payment of all war risk insurance policies in three installments to ben eficiaries instead of 240 monthly pay ments.
 Decentralization of the bureau of war risk insurance. giving regional officials direct authority to accept or reject compensation claims.
 An inquiry by the senate into hos pital conditions where service men are receiving treatment.
 To Remove Ill-FeeIing.
 Utilization of army cantonment hospitals and increase in medical and nursing corps, or communicating of zeashore and summer hotels for tenn .Rerary hospital use, while new gov Efnment hospitals are being com plefed.
 This program. Senator Walsh said, would remove the present wide spread feeling among applicants for compensation that this government presumes that incapacitated ex-ser- vice men are crooked dishonest, or imposters."

likewise dellcacy that is bound to become more popular as people become better acquainted with it.
 The method of frying summer squash and marrows is this: Gut the vegetable into half-inch-thick slices or little less. Dip them in milk in which an egg has been beaten, then roll in crumbs and fry in deep fat or enough fat in the skillet so there will be no danger of their burning on. Turn them with spatula or pancake turner.
 Cucumbers sliced likewise and fried in the same manner are a com parative novelty but fine vegetable. Italians are particularly fond of big cucnmbers eeekedd in this manner. They are often served with lamb chops Tn Italian restaurants.
 II you have never fried cucumber It IS worth trying out and is an excel. lent way to use up big cucumbers when there is a surplus.

A Little Rock correspondent, whose identity is not known. contributes column in which he declares that the public road situ- ation in Arkansas has become an af- fiietion, similar to bad case ef boils."

Yankee prejudice against the carrot as "cow fodder" and the idea that only a fool muskrat which will travel for miles overland to get caught in a trap baited by a carrot can get very en- thusiastic over this vegetable has been so thoroly dissipated that carrots are now regular staple in all mar kets and an almost indispensable ar ticle of cookery.
 They now even put them in Irish stews despite the hostility of their complexions.

MILLIONS FOR LUXURIES
in Arkansas Last Year the Bill Was ss7. 100000. Times as Mucn
 as for Schools.

Little Rock, April 29.-few people realize that as much is paid in Ar kansas for cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, and snuff as for salaries of public & hool teachers. And yet this is the startling fact that develops from an analysis of the income tax returns for the state in 1920.
 Five times as much is spent for luxuries as for the entire expense of the public school system.
 Based upon government statistics, the amount spent for luxuries of var ious kinds in Arkansas last year are;

 During the same period the public schools of the state cost total of only $7,600 900, while the items of cigarettes, cigars, tobacco and snuff alone amounted to $5,275 ,000.
 "When the people of state can spend nearly S40,000,000 a year for luxuries and non-essentials, it is cer- tainly time for them to stop in their mad career of spending and see if it is not possible to turn some of this money into channels where it will accomplish some real good" said prominent educator in analyzing these startling statistics. "So long as we pay as much for tobacco as we pay our public school teachers, we cannot expect to retrieve the states position from near the foot of the list eduea- tionally. believe the people will come to the support of all legitimate demands made for the school system, as they have already shown a gener- ous disposition to do, when they real ized the dire necessities that confront our school at this time.

If you have never met this dish, you have treat in store. Boil six grained carrots and the same num- Der of medium sized white onions until tender. Do not scrape the carrots and they will better retain their flavor; do not cover them and their color will be preserved. Use only enough water to keep them from burning. Peel carrots when done and cut or dice into small pieces and cover the bottom of baking dish or individual dishes. Sprinkle with crumbs, little salt (and pepper and dots of butter. hen layer of onions treated the same way, and another layer of carrots until all are used Moisten with cup of fresh milk into which an egg has been stirred. Spread a layer of crumbs over the top, dot with butter and bake until brown and the custard has set.
 In boiling young carrots, their flavor is greatly improved by the addition of little sugar to the water in which they are boiled, the addition of pepper corns and leaf of parsley. The sugar adds to the flavor because the young carrot has not attained it's natural sugar content.
