Hotel Servants Scatter
 Employers Silverware

Los Angeles, Oct. "A fortune is lost every year in the knives, forks and spoons which accidentally go into garbage cans in Los Angeles, accord ing to q number of cafe and restaur- ant owners. who are the principal suf- ferers. One restaurant reported loss of nearly s40,00O in silverware last year. Some of this was carried away by patrons, but most of it was sent to the hog farms near here by way of the garbage can. Private families are not so needless of their slverware, it Is said, but public eating houses suffer heavy losses because of the careless ness of employees. A man has enter ed the business of recovering the lost silverware from the farms. and knives. forks and spoons, bearing the names of the cafes owning them are returned at a small cost.

x SPEEDERS LOSE CARS
Indianapolis Judge Deals With Speed CTS in Novel Way and Gets Pleas- ing Results.

Indianapolis. Oct. 2.--Jail sentences heavy fines and loss of their automo- biles are proving effective in reduc. ing the number of speeders in In- dianapolis. The plan, introduced q short time ago by Judge Delbert o. Wilmeth. has resulted in general let down in speeding throughout the city, according to police officers.
 Judge Wilmeth works on a scale. First offenders are fined set amount for whatever speed they are convict ed of having made, but do not have to pay if they relinguish their ma chimes for a certain number of days. For example, person convicted of driving 25 miles an hour Is fined s and costs. On payment, of the costs and turning in his license plates and drivers certificate, the fine is sus- pended. In five days the offender again may drive his car.
 The faster person drives. the heavier the fine and the longer be must be without his car. There is only one recourse from a state farm sentence upon conviction for second offense. That is through the higher courts, to which number of appeals already have been made.

Current EUents
For the Schools
BY CHARLES p. STEWART

Has the average American so
very much to gain by a settlement
OF Europe's vast problems Of all
sorts?
A world conference for the ad-
1ustment of these problems-hnan-
cial and economic-was declared
necessary at the International
Chamber of Commerce congress in
Rome last week.
The resolution calling on all
countries to join in the discussion n
was offered by President +. l.. Fray
of the Greenville (Pa.) Steel Car
Company; and the chairman of the
finance section of the congress.
which adopted it, was vice Presi-
dent WHY'S Booth OF the Guaranty
Trust Company OF New York.
So the proposition has quite an
American flavor.
Members Of the congress took the
view that the United States is 50
mixed up in the worlds affairs that
it's impossible for her to enjoy real
prosperity unless the rest OF the
world enjoys the same thing
s'without recognition" as the reso-
luton put it, "of the interdepend-
ence of the worlds economic organ.
ization."
Does 1t Interest Everybody?
OF course it's true that all this
applies TO Americas foreign trade.
Americans who want to sell goods
abroad can't sell them IL conditions
abroad are SO disorganized that tha
countries there are unable to buy
And the American members OF
the International Chamber of Com
rnerce must be interested IN internal
tional trade, or they wouldn't have
Joined that kind Of an organization.
From their standpoint, then, a
feeling OF anxiety to straighten the
foreign situation out is natural
enough.
But there's a group Of Americans
who can't see how it affects them.
Their business is at home, they say.
They don't care If they never sell
any goods outside the United States.
The foreign traders answer is
that there's got to be a foreign mar
ket for American products or they'll
pile up at home. If so, they say
well have hard times-labor'l II

produces more than it needs to eat
and wear and go fiivvering In, why
should 1t starve? Why doesn't it
eat and wear and go fiivvering up
to the limit of safety and let the
over-products go, or store it away In
case it's needed later on?
This isn't explained.
Not All Like Us
True, there are countries that
can't afford to look at it this way.
For instance, England can't. She
hasn't the space to produce the raw
material she requires. She pro-
duces more of some things than she
needs but not nearly enough Cf
others. She got to trade what she
over-produceS for what she doesn't
produce at all.
The United States, however, is eu-
tirely self-supporting. She could be
cut off from the rest of the world
forever and not know the difference.
except perhaps that she might have
to get along without a few things
like coffee and some tropical fruits
and arctic fox pelts and SUCH"
II the United States can't get
along by herself, ask the skeptics,
why doesn't the whole world over
produce and have hard times, lack
ing facilities to unload her surplus
onto Mars?
Traded Mostly at Home
And anyway, it's also asked, was
Americas foreign trade so very
important a factor in keeping her
surplus down, in the days before
smash was played with 1t by the
war?
In answer to this question. it
transpires that the pre-war exports
Of the United States were around S
per cent of her total commerce, the
rest OF her trading having been
done at home.
Hardly Expected A.TalI
In short, persons who doubt the
real seriousnees-to themselves
Of the world business psrils that the
International Chamber Of COM
merce talks about, incline to the
view that the United States can be
about as prosperous without foreign
trade as she can with 1t.
Not that they have any objection
to seeing urope helped out in her
time of trouble, il it can be done
without too many sacrifices on their
part, but personally they don't see
how It makes q great deal Of dif.
ference to the average American
either way.

Extension Horticulturist, United

Tomatoes, eggplant and peppers
are a group of crops belonging to
the nightshade family. and closely
related to the Irish potato, that has
become quite important among gar
den crops within the past half CEN
tury. These crops are well adapted
to the small garden as comparatively
little space is required to provide for
the needs of the ordinary family. To-
matoes are the most important Of
the three and can be grown over a
wide range of territory and on al
most any type of soil. Eggplant is
difficult to grow in many sections.
Peppers, like tomatoes, can be grown
almost anywhere with proper care.

GOVERNOR PINCHOT BLAMES
COOLIDGE FOR HOOTCH
Governor of Pennsylvania Puts Dry
Law Fight Up to the
President.

Washington.-Gifford Pinchot, gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, charged the
federal prohibition service and bad
politics with the responsibility for
failure to enforce the Eighteenth
amendment. He called On President
Coolidge to take personal charge of
suppressing the whisky rebellion"
and declared he is the only man who
can meet the present emergency.
The address of Governor Pinchot
was made at mass meeting of the
Citizenship Conference, called by 756
men and women throughout the coun-
try in the interest of supporting the
Eighteenth amendment.
The problem of enforcement, said
Governor Pinchot, cannot be met I'M
less the federal government does it's
part. Politics, he asserted, is chiefly
responsible for the "bIack disgrace"
of defiance of the law. In state after
state, he declared, the bills of dom
inant party-Democratic or Repub
lican, were paid for years by the
liquor interests.
1T is idle to suggest that the law
cannot be enforced declared the gov
ernor. The fact is we have never
tried. The thing that has protected
the liquor criminal from the law is.
politics. Politics first, law enforce
men poor second, has been the order.
Bad whisky, with beer to help, has
supplied the sinews of war for bad
politics, and politics has returned this
favor"
