Art and Gastronomy.

A domestic scientist has discovered that beets
should not be served with ham because the combina-
ton presents a color scheme which shocks the
asthetic of the epicurean. She maintains that
a proper and artistic combination of colors adds
character to a meal
Each course must be properly shaded. Brown
bread and beans quite regle from this point
OF view and Boston once is indorsed. With
these may go coffee and doughnuts without offend
ing the most punctilious and sensitive devotee of
art for arts sake.
The sense of taste thus becomes controlled by
the sense of sight. No must cat blindly. The
New England combination must not be served on
the old-time red table cloth. This might even
hight in its tones with beets and bloody beef.
To the high cost of just something to eat, must
be added the high cost of this, color selection.
From another point OF view this ndorses the Irish
man who, on ST. Patricks Day, threw the butter out
the window declaring that nothing of orange color
should disturb the harmony of the occasion.
For athat and a'that, there will remain those
sordd souls who will continue to eat what they
like They will persist testing their foods by
habit and the palate rather than by the aestheticaly

WEED HIGHER SALARIES
10 MAINTAIN STANDARD.

To keep up the standard of scien-
tific and technical work in the gov
ernment departments, increased sal
aries are needed, declares r. S. Nc
Bride. in a recent number of Chemi-
cal and Metallurgical Engineering.
Sixty nine per cent of the scien-
tific employees of six typical bureaus
separated from the service during
1919. figures show. Analysis of sal
airy increases Of those who resigned
shows that they received an average
of So per cent increase over the
salaries paid them while in govern
ment service. Another striking fact
pointed out is that as living costs
increased the number of separations
increased.
An increase of $1,000 a year tor
the 10000 technical and scientific
workers here would cost less than
10 cents per capita for the United
States. One single serious techni-
cal error of judgment might cost
the country. as a whole, much more
than the total of such munifiCent
salary increase" the writer states.

True humor springs not more from the
head than from the heart; it is not con-
tempt, its essence is love; it issues not in
laughter, but in still smiles, which lie far
deeper. 1t is a sort of inverse sublmity,
exalting, as it were, into our affections
what is below US, while sublimity draws
down into our affection what is above US.

1t is easier, and always has been
easier, to raise the number of Rep
resentatives than to cut down the
representation of States. Under
the plan now fixed upon. the rep
resentation OF no State is reduced
not even of poor little Vermont,
which has already seen its repre-
sentation cut down from six in
$4,000 to two ever since 1880.
Broadly speaking, the new House
will have at least forty more Rep
resentatives OF urban constituent
Cies than il has ever had before.
1t will be an interesting study to
see how this accretion is re-
fiected in the character, the intelli-
gence and the influence of the
membership. Judging from the
past the change will not be an i'm
provement, and it will not be
strange il the Socialist party finds
in the Sixty-eighth Congress a lsrg-
er representation than II has in the
Sixty-seventh or has had in any
previous Congress.

The worst effect OF the unwieldy
membership is that it makes the
average Representative a useless
figure. so far as important national
affairs are concerned, and forces
him. il he hopes to make some sort
Of name for himself and to secure
reelection. as he always does. tO
devote himself to local and petty
affairs. to the securing OF jobs for
his constituents and public improve
ments for his constituency. This
he finds, can best be accomplished
by the old-fashioned method Of log
rolling, by lending his efforts and
his vote to a fellow Representative
in search OF pork" in return for 4
similar favor. Thus a larger mem
bership inevitably means more log
rolling and more raids upon the
public treasury.

The Census Committee has for
tunately recognized the faHacious-
ness OF the apportionment theory
which its bill ombodies by instruct
ing one Of its members to intro
duCe an amendment to the consti-
tuition limiting the Houses mem
bership to 500. This is a meritori-
Gus proposal. What is needed is an
impartial readjustment OF repre-
sentation after each census instead
Of a haphszard expansion. a House
of 500, too ponderable now. will
not be excessive. perhaps. in 1850
or 1870 Under the Courtesy rule
we should have nearly 1000 Repre-
sentatives by that time.
