FavOrs Ford Plan.

While Mayor Arthur E. Nelson is
in Washington laying the foundation
for st. Paul in presenting its claim
before the Federal Power Commis-
sion on the behalf of the industrial
development in the Northwest by
Henry Ford, and resultant prosperity
for Minnesota, Mayor George T.
Leach, of Minneapolis, is fighting
with his back to the wall in attempt
ing to put through the legislature a
piece of legislation to be known as
the Leach Power Development Bill,
which provides that any excess en-
ergy developed at the dam and un-
used, would be turned back to the
Conduct Public Hearing.
Tuesday night in the House Cham
Der at the state capitol, the Leach
forces and those favoring the award
ing the high dam rights to Ford,
headed by Commissioner Herman-C G.
Wenzel, debated the question at a
public hearing. Not only did the var
ious speeches made indicate or show
that Mayor Leach's own city favored
the st. Paul plan but that the entire
state endorsed 1t and saw absolutely
no necessity for the Leach bill.

Using Thick Cloth to Sponge
and Dampen Goods

Many people have difficulty In press
ing wooden garments without making
them shiny. The United States De
partment of Agriculture advises using
a thick cloth to sponge and dampen
the goods Piaits or folds may be
basted in place. but the stitches
should be drawn rs soon as the cloth
Is steamed: otherwise the thread will
mark the material. Heavy irons are
more satisfactory on materials suci
as used In mems suits. Lay the thick
damp cloth over the material and then
press.
The appearance Of wooden maieri-
ais that have worn shiny may be I'M
proved by covering the right side of
the material with a cloth out

ammonia to 1 quart of water). press
ing with a medium-hot Iron until the
cloth Is partly dry. and then brushing
the place vigorously with a stiff brush

moved by hanging the garment either

After the abundance and variety
OF fresh summer vegetables has dwin-
died till one is entirely dependent on
stored and canned products, the ques-
ton Of varying the monotony Of cab
bage and carrots becomes very real.
One way to do 1t Is to serve combIna-
lions OF vegetables according to what
Is In season or on the pantry shelves
The classic example OF a mixture Of
vegetables Is of course succotash-
corn and lima beans. During the sea-
son of fresh vegetables s~uccotash Is
at its best, but even when both vege-
tables are canned, separately or to-
gether, or dried. the result is very
good. Corn with tomatoes; corn
with tomatoes and string beans; corr
with tomatoes and okra, are all ex-
cellent combinations.

Peas seem to blend well with other
vegetable f%iavors, especially those
which are slightly sweet. They are
often served with an equal quantity

SITUATION
MORE DESPERATE
GERMANY TORN BY CONFLICTS
BETWEEN HUNGRY MODS
AND POLICE
BREAD ALMOST UAOBTAINABLE
Starvation Riots Reported From Fifty
Points; Loaf Of Bread Costs
100 Billion Marks

Berlin.-Food rioting, the pillaging
of shops and potato fields and the in
evitable s~anguinary clashes between
The hungry mobs and police, continue
to be the outstanding features of the
news published in Germany. Reports
from more han 80 points give an i'm
pressive cross-sectionaI view of the al
most cataclysmic social situation in
which all classes of the population are
apparently being gradually engulfed-
The recurring dearth OF bread and
potatoes Is the universal source of
rioting and such relief measures as the
government hastily devises invariably
founder on the price confusion caused
by the rapidly deteriorating currency.
Berlin was again the scene of boist-
erous rioting, crowds storming the
b~akeshops and public markets in va
rious parts of the capital. About a
thousand men, women and children in
vaded the municipal potato fields in
the eastern suburbs and when these
were exhausted, proceeded to loot
private premises. The police we're
forced to intervene and, in the ensuing
disorders, a boy of ID was shot dead
and a little girl seriously wounded.
Reports from a half dozen mining
centers in the Ruhr indicate that the
food situation there is daily becoming
more chaotic, continually calling for
armed Intervention by the local au-
thorities to put down the outbreaks.
The mid-German, east Prussian and
Sllician districts and the harbor cities
are also contributing regular quotas
of riot news in connection with the
food situation, which is invariably
complicated by the discrepancies be-
tween the current prices and the
wages as paid in paper marks.
A loaf of bread, which cost 10000
100000 marks two days ago, could
not be purchased now for twice that
figure, and only limited supplies were
available.
