LEGISLATION

BY Committees
A news item of last week adj
vic 20 that the democrats of the
Colorado legislature were plsn-
ming to force bills out Of COM
mittees for legislative action.
Al ell legislative bodies of
America require q majority to
demand . committee report and
% oil leeis lative matter is re-
ferred to committees, in case a
majority Of the members want
to get out of going on record.
the committee plan gives the III
that chance.
It follows that the man who is
made the chairman or speaker
OF president of the body is, by
the appointment of the commit
tees. the real power behind the
throne" in oil Legislative mat
tiers, for as be appoints the COM
nit tees, 90 is the legislation.
The corporations understand
this thoroughly. and here is
where they generally get in
their vork-in the organization
Of the legis lative bodies.
We are inclin ed to the view
that . good rule would be to
privilege any minority to report
out . bill. and II we were in the
legislature that would be one of
the first things we would work
for.

It often happens, to wards the

Helpful Hints On
Using Left-OUer

Many housewives are averse tc
using left-overs and warmed over
food in summer, declaring that econ
omy is not sufficient to offset the
risk to the health of the family
There may have been good ground
for this prejudice when people did
not understand the care necessary
for the protection of food kept for
any length of time in warm weather.
Now, however, with ice and the pre-
cautions which arg easily taken,
there should be no risk at all in
keeping meat and vegetables to use
as needed.
1t goes without saying that ice
boxes or refrigerators must be kept
scrupulouiy V clean. Not only that,
but all the utensils and vessels
placed in them must also be i'm
maculate. Nothing is so well suited
for refrigerator use as enameled
ware. Trays, bowls, shallow pans
or square be selected with Il view
to their fitting on the shelves of
the ice-box, so that there may be
no waste of space. This ware, the
porcelain surface of which is
germ proof, is also so strong that
it cannot be broken by quick hand
ling in getting in and out of the
chilled receptacle. ..--

Juvenile Books
To Be Moved to
New Quarters

To allow for moving the juvenile
fiction to the basement of the pub
lie library the children section
will be closed Friday and Saturday
of this week and boys and girls are
asked to get their books Thursday.
The removal of the juvenile books
to the basement will give some
much needed shelf room on the
main floor to allow for the eXpan-
sion anticipated during the winter
months, according to Miss Agnes
Ferris, librarian.
Owing to the limited number of
her assistants, Miss Ferris has been
obliged to cut down the hours dur
ing which the juvenile section will
be open and hereafter children must
get their books between the hours
of 3 and 6 p. IN. Once the young
sters are accustomed to the change
it will work little hardship upon
them, it is thought.
