HOW THE TOAST
WAS ORIGINATED
(By Associated Press)

New York, June 2l-The orr
gin of drinking toasts was defined
by Stuyvesant Fish, banker, one
of the eleven survivors of the
class of 1871 of Columbia Uni
versity, as POSTMASTER at the an
nual Alumni luncheon the other
day.
"What is a toast?" he asked,
adding, Zone Of the books pu-
lished before we lost our liberty
to restrain our own appetites
says:
THE toaster biscuit, though
long since disused as an ingredi-
ent of punch, formed from a very
early period, a fovorite addition
to many old English drinks.
promising that in the reign of
Charles II it was the fashion for
ladies, attired in dresses made for
the purpose to battle publicly in
the City OF Bath, the origin OF
toasts is thus told.
"It happened, on a public day,
a celebrated. beauty was in the
Cross-Bath and one of her adj
mirers took a glass of the water
in which she stood, and drank
her health to the company. There
was one in the place, gay fell
lw, who offered to jump in and
swore though he liked not the
liquor" he would have the
toast" He was opposed in his
resolution, yet this whim gave
foundation to the present honor
which is done to the lady we
mention in our liquor, who has
ever since been called a toast
"Thus we see," Mr.. Fish con-
clnded, chat rhe origin of toasts
was, like that of all things hui
man, feminine and also aqueous
May these facts excuse me for
being accessory to the commits
sion of that which our fathers
considered the unforgivable sim
drinking toasts in cold water"

WARMING
UP over STATE
(By Associated Press)

Frankfort, Ky, June 21-Witf
the state primaries only Sin
weeks distant, politics in Ken
lucky has passed the simmerine
stage and begun to boil. Thru
the hottest Of the summer
months and until the sixth OF
August, candidates for nomina-
ton for offices from Circuit
Judge down to justice the peace
and councilman in the smallest
cities and towns will be active in
soliciting the support of various
voters.
The battle that is now we'll I'm
der way is not in the nature of a
fight between two parties, but
between candidates for places on
the party tickets. Scores of as
pirants to places on the ballots in
the various judicial and legisla-
tive districts have filed their pc
titions with Secretary of State
Fred A. Vaughn. They will con-
tihue to do SO until June 5, in
spite of the fact that the law re-
curing the printing of ballots
provides that copy must be sub
mitted so days before the cleo
ton.
The cause CT the disregard of
the ballot law is the fact that it
conflicts with the primary filing
law. On this subject Assistant
Attorney General Logan last
week issued a ruling that owing
to the fact that candidates were
allowed until so days before the
primaries, the county clerks were
not obligated to live up to the
letter of the ballot law.
The fact that women can vote
in the primary this year has COM
plicated the situation for many
candidates and their announce
ments in local papers show that
all of them realize it, Virtually
every appeal is prefaced with the
salutation Fellow citizens, la
dies and gentlemen" Some can
didates make their appeals point
ediy toward the feminine vote
and indicate in many instances
that it is on the new voters they
will hang their hopes of nomina-
ton.

depth.
They were shut down for couple
OF weeks, the depth when the drlll
was stopped being given out as
around 1850 feet. Drilling was re-.
sumcd Saturday and as careful
test was to be made OF the level of
around 1900 feet, according TO an
nounceemnls. oil fans are keeping
an ear to tho ground and using field
glasses In an effort to get something
inside on what IL happening at
tle well.
As far as the English company's
officers are concerned. there f.
nothing TO report" When seen this
morning and asked as to the pro-
gress they are making. one OF the
officers of the company said, Just
tell them we are drilling
Pressed for some definite infor.
nation, Il was made plain that there
was nothing TO give out for publca.
tion. These officers would not tell
the depth of the well. would give
no indication Of the formations the
drill was encountering and in short,
what they had to say concerning
the well was as shy OF information
as the Sahara desert is of sweet
peas.
In the light of their last announc-
ed depth, at the point where they
shut down, of 1850 feet and figuring
normal progress has been made,
they should be in the neighborhool
of 1.750 feet. This, however, can b.
nothing more than guess in view
OF the fact that no information is
forthcoming from those in a position
to know.
