FRESH VEGETABLES POSSIBLE
EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.

With view to suggesting to those
on restricted diet, particularly to
diabetes, ways in which variety
might be introduced into the menu
the United States Department of Ag-
rlculture has searched the world for
promising vegetables. low in carbo-
hydrate. The difficulties of the diabet-
ic diet center mainly around the sup
ply of vegetables and the provision
of variety at all seasons. A great
number of vegetables have been
grown in the course of these investi-
cations. Last year 81 species were
planted, so that some vegetable was
available every day of the year.
These varieties included inserine
asparagus, basella, bush and pole
beans, cabbage, carrot, caulihower,
celeriac, celery, chard, chervil, ebay
ote, collards, corn salad, cress, Gu
cumber, dandelion, eggplant, endive.
escarolle. fnocchio, kale, kohlrabi
lettuce, mung bean, mustard. New
Zealand spinach, okra, onion. leek and
shallot, orach, pai-tsai, parsley, pa
tence, pepper, purslane, radish. re-
quette, satisfy. scorznera, sorrel, SOY
bean. spinach, squash, vegetable mar
row, tomato, turnip, and witloof. AL
these vegetables are valuable in the
diet of the abnormal person as Wei
as the invalid, because of the vita
mines, minerals, and bulk they fun
nish. Many excellent combinations
can be made among them. They vary
in their composition and suitabiite
for invalid diets, and the department
recommends that the advice of
physician be followed in their use.
The department suggests that ever
diaebtic or other invalid dependent
on vegetables who can do so should
develop a garden, both for the sake
of variety in the diet and because OF
the new interest and hobby it fu
nishes. Even city patients may fin
il possible to have small gardens on
nearby vacant lots. Most Of the un-
common vegetables in the foregoing
list can be easily grown. Informa-
ton concerning them may usually Re
had from the extension agent, whose
headquarters are the State agricul-
tural college. or from the Unite !
States Department of Agriculture.

BIG TALK
BY DR.. FRANK CRANE

"While the hypocritic diplomats are making
speeches at Washington upon the subject Of dsarm
ament alarming symptoms of further disorder multiply
in the world The conclusion is clear To defend
independence it does not suffice that be concatng
we must needs be strong. Our army has one method,
and alone of responding to these recent events
it is to redoube our forces and strengthen ranks
The entire nation shall not fail to aid our army War
riors, be on your guard!
Who talks this big talk?
Is it the irreconciable German? Is it some Arab
chief? Is it the Generalissimo of the French army?
We can hear the socialist apostle amongst reply:
"What abominable anguage 1t would seem that
humanity long since should have swept away such dirty
Imperialism, such uncured hate We must needs be
strong Indeed! On the contrary we should abandon
force Let protest against this cynical appeal to
force What! Shall we keep on the infamous business
of manufacturing cannon and bombs? Proetariats re-
fuse the aid of your hands to the fabrication of further
means of deathv' And SO on and so on
One moment! This discourse which scorns the
pacifsts at Washington which procaims the necessity
of force, which calls the whole nation to become an
by Comrade Trotzky to his soldiers who are enlisted in
the war to knock brotherly love into the stubborn
hearts of the rest of the world.
Of all the absurd paradoxes of history perhaps
this is one of the most striking.
1t is the representatives of tyrannical Great
Britain the ancient robber and oppressor of the world
of militarstic France whose only ideal is to trampe
all Europe under foot; of selfish and brutal America
who seeks to bring the whole world under the yoke of
the dollar; OF crafty heather and bloody Japan, who
only waits for chance to srangle China and over-run
Hiram Johnsons back yard; it is the representatives
of these blood thirsty nations who meet in Washington
and earnestly do their utmost to abate the horrors Of
war.
And, in the meanwhile, great, pacifst Russia, the
enemy of capitalism the prOponent of the rule of the
people and the return of universal love, puts Mr..
Trotzky upon the platform and fills his mouth with the
big talk as above noted.

Mr.. Stone and the "Bloe'

Mr. Melville u stone, former general manager Of
the Associated l0ess for many years, we regret to
learn is opposed to bloc legislation in which oppo-
son he shares the recently born anpathy Of eastern
bankers grain and produce exchanges, the railways
and other interests which for years fatened
"bloc" legislation, only then the bloc had
been applied to group legislation.
We cannot quite endorse the principle OF the
"bloc" whether the agricultural bloc or any
other bloc" In ideal state there would be
place for it, but we have ideal state and in all
probability never will have one. Those therefore
who want justice have to employ such means as are
available and legal There is no law against the
forming of groups. From the earliest times various
groups Of congressman have been formed generally
in one OF two ways The most Objectionable way
the election, accomplished by powerful interests
of congressman for certain definite purposes. No
interest, however powerful, might have a group
sufficiently strong to effect the legislation 1t desired,
but other interests not in conflict had groups ALI
ances were then formed for the enactment Of legis
lation for all the special interests represented.
Then sometimes blocs were formed rather spon-
taneously among the congressman themselves for
the enactment OF legislation in which the special
interests had no The operations latter
'bloc" usually confined the passage public
building and rivers and harbors bills. All of the
legislation produced by either "boc' enacted by
the log-rolling process. neither "bloc" was the
farmer represented.
But the farmer, rather forced to 1t by despera
tion has succeeded in forming the strongest "bloc
Of ALL 1t is powerful enough to have it's way. There
is nothing sinister about It. It stands out
in the open We all know who its members 1t
is not hard and fast group except certain def
mite objects 1t does not always in all its parts
to certain other objects. Thus, sometimes it is
larger smaller than at other times But it is
agreed upon thing and that is that the agricul-
tural industry shall longer be left out in the
cold to be fed with such the special interests
do not want.
The agricultural "bloc" has taken at its face
value the frequently uttered and disputed deca
ration that the prosperity of the country depends
upon the prosperity of the farmer. takes stock
in the complaint of the special interests that up
raising of the farmer now will be inimical to
business"
II agriculture is the foundation Of prosperity
there was never a time when the business of the
country was in greater need Of secure UNDER
pnning. More power to the agricultural "bloc" and
may its power until congress shall
be composed of who think in terms of the whole
country and not in terms Of congressional districts
and special interests.

The NoaaIes Road Meeting

out OF the Arizona Good Roads meeting begin
n8 At Nogales today there should come better
baetBtanding among the delegates representing the
rent parts OF the state. Such understanding,
bving jealousles which have resulted from mis-
paerstanding will mean more to Arizona even than
nc adoption OF a statewide program. But that too.
should be one of the results Of the meeting.
Ultimately. we hope that there will be such
system of highways, that every community in the
state will be accessible to every other community,
In the meantime there should be agreement upon
initial system which will bring the greatest num-
Der Of the populous communities into COM
munication.
we should abandon the scramble for place on
through highway" to the exclusion of other COM
munities from place on it. We are not to build
roads primarily for the passage OF tourists through
the state by the most direct route. but for the
venence and profit of all the communities and then
we will have highways that the tourists see
much Of the best have to show them. We want
see Douglas the great smelter town; Bisbee,
fthe country's greatest mining towns; Tucson,
rich in historic association and great in present day
development; Nogales the gateway, and the rich
district of Globe and Miami Then we want access
to the north made easy that the tourist may visit
the marvellous scenic and industrial glories Of that
region
We cannot afford to build roads by the shortest
and most direct route regardless OF our own several
communities in order that the tourist may "scoot'
through with the least possible loss of time
tourist with only that idea in mind is of no value
at all to us and we cannot afford to put ourselves
out for his convenience.
We want to make it as easy as possible for the
tourist to sec as much Of Arizona possible as he
goes through. We want to show him around" to
display our goods and then he may not want to go
any farther we want him to sec the southern com
muntes. those OF the north and those Of central

OUR GATES

OO1 GA 60
Phoenix, like Rome. has gates.
They admit things and people to the
city. but some things and some peo-
pie they exclude. Even the most
democratic city must have it's bar
riers.
Let US enumerate some OF our
gates. Zion had Water Gate. and
so have we; all our water comes
through It. We also have a food
gate, which requires watchmen. Troy
fell, you remember because her ene-
mics gained their entrance by con-
cealing themselves in wooden horse;
our enemies conceal themselves in
cows, or in milk, in imported fruits
meats, candies, and the like and
come riding into our city to destroy
US. There is the news gate by
which our papers are stocked up
each day; near it is the entertain
ent gate, supplying our theaters of
all kinds. and alongside of these
what we may call the education gate,
by which ideas are admitted to our
city in school, books, maga zines, Ii
brary books and the like. There are
others. but these are the chief.
These are wild array. No resur-
rected ancient would recognize them
as gates at all. One is a wire: an
other is redwood pipe another is a
camera lens, while yet another is the
printed page. Through them the nee
essities of civilization pour into our
city. as food. water, news, ideas and
enemies used to come through the
city gates Of old.
In the great electrical parade
staged in Los Angeles last July by
the movie people for the visiting
Elks Censorship was represented as
blind monster sitting upon a throne
supported by Ignorance, Hate, Pref
udice and similar vices of the mind.
Movie propaganda is very definite
and very sarcastic on this point. The
giant film producers want the gates
of every city thrown wide open to
their wares. and whoever opposes
them is a bigot and a fool. But the
City of Tomorrow will as surely set a
watchman, at that camera gate as it
now stations them at the water gate
to keep out germs. and at the educa-
ton gate to examine textbooks.

New Ceoaranhiea?

we do not know what it will cost to change text
books geography. We assume that it will not
be an overwhelming sum- that the amount will not
be large that the burden Of 1t will be felt in any
quarter But that may be said of every expenditure
No one of them is appreciaby burdensome but our
taxpayers now groaning and sweating and swear
ing under the grand total of them
The thing mostly to be feared is that the change
or any change Of text books will effect change
the attitude OF the public toward the schools Indeed
there mutterings Of such change already For
merly from the earliest times in Arizona money
voted ungrudgngly and unQuestioningly for the
schools to be spent thereafter just as boards Of
trustees fit. And seldom there any inquiry
to how it spent any curiosity regarding the
results Of the expenditure. But when year or more
ago. for the first time became real and almost
insupportable burden and the people learned that
about IS cent Of their went the support
Of the schools, they began to inquire whether here
was not good place to begin to retrench.
When people begin moving in opposite direc-
ton under impulse. they usually go too far
we move by pendulum swings There are several
things the schools must have. In a rapidly growing
community extensive building programs inev-
liable. We easily foresee state OF the inflamed
public mind which would make needed building pro-
grams impossible. We do not think this state Of
mind would last long but while it lasted It would
have serious effect upon the education of youth
And then, the free text book system would be
placed in some jeopardy. There has always been
a small. narrow-minded opposition to it and may
easily believe that those who opposed to 1t would
find ready converts the belief that the state pur-
chase of text books Is the most expensive way Of
securing them
There are we understand. two reasons urged
for the change in biographies. One is that many of
those now in use worn out and would have to be
replaced The other is that the surface of the earth
has been changed by the and the peace
ference that the old maps are no longer useful As
to the former argument we not believe that any
number Of text books approaching the whole number
in out. Certainly the replacement would
cost much less than entire change.
AS to the latter argument. the shifting of political
boundaries is not vet complete The new political
history Of the world has not been written Zones Of
influence been fixed yet. The whole thing is
in state of flux map Of Central and Eastern
Europe, it is true, is quite different from such
map ten years ago, such map the present text
books contain But the map in the proposed geogra-
phies may be quite different from that will be
printed when the world again becomes static. Any
eQoa teacher with existing map could trace the
etHe Of events and describe changes for the edif-
~. of an ordinarily intelligent pupil. And
ordinarily intelligent or attentive would learn
ag from an up-to-date map.
But the chief evil of a change of text books
change just now-would be the psychological
NAt Of it upon the already distracted taxpayers.
