Death has again entered this COM
munity and removed one of its most
honored citizens, Asa Warren GOOg-
ms. He was born in the town of
Franklin, but lived part of his life
in Nilbridge and Waltham. He
served his country through the Civil
war. When he married, he built a
house and settled in this town and
had lived here ever since. His wife,
who was Annie Haslem of Waltham,
died young, and left him with three
small children. He had ever been a
kind and loving father to them. The
oldest girl married Sidney Jordan
and lives in Jamaica Plain, Mass,
and the other daughter has been
away from home most of the time
for fifteen years. He had been
cared for by his only son, Anon
About four weeks ago he was taken
to the Hurley hospital, where he
had one leg amputated He stood
the operation we'll and through it
all was cheerful. But with the dis
ease and a weak heart, he had not
the strength to rally, and gradually
failed. He died Wednesday at 0 p.
m. His two daughters were in ELS
worth, where they could be with
him, and his son spent what time he
could there Everything possible
was done to make him comfortable,
but his suffering was such that he
was reconciled to go. His body was
brought home ON Saturday. Services
here were conducted by Rev. Clar-

AIR DISARMAMENT.
American Legion Wants Conference
of Nations on Subject.

OF Nations on SUBJECT.
Construction of powerful mill
tary air force in the event of a fail
ure to hold the international air dis
armament conference, proposed by
the American Legion, was advocated
by Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant
of the Legion in a recent statement
The Legion official declared that if,
after exhausting it's best efforts. the
United States fails to end the air
race now in progress among
European nations, it is up to this
country to enter the contest in
earnest.
Two years ago we were prepared
to build a navy that could sweep any
other sea force from the seas-a fact
which some practical observers have
declared contributed to the success
of the Washington conference" he
said ''If the air race keeps up
despite our best efforts to bring it to
a halt, we must build a-fighting force
that will defend our skies, come
what may. If we don't, we invite
disaster"
Mr. Bolles, however, expressed the
opinion that it would be possible to
obtain the participation of world
powers in the proposed conference,
despite the acute situation in Europe
centering about the Ruhr occupa-
ton. '.
IF it is true, as some have init
mated, that certain nations, for un-
worthy motives, would prove I'M
responsive to overtures for a con-
ference" he said, Il think that fact
should be ascertained beyond ques-
ton and published to the world. We
of the American Legion, who are
urging the importance of this con-
ference, do not believe there is any
such nation. Some militaristic
clique may entertain such ideas, but
the people of no nation do | believe
the people of Europe are just as
eager to dispense with this crazy
competition as are the people OF
Observation-Disclosures more so. At
any rate, the American Legion, hay
ing asked the direct question, Why
not an air conference feels that it
is entitled to a response in the same
explicit terms, and it means to obtain
tldI response II IL can.
He said that an invitation from
the United States to all countries to
reduce air forces would at least en-
able the world to learn what coun-
tries have placed the principles of
militarism above those of world
peace.
Mr. Bodies announced that the re-
suit of the poll which the Legion is
taking among United States senators,
congressman, governors, editors, col
lege presidents and other prominent
citizens indicates a large majority
in favor of the proposed conference.
From a total of 252 replies received
to date, 225 have voted for the gath
ering, fourteen were against it; nine
were undecided, and four expressed
qualified approval

Dear Aunt Madge:
Now that flavoring extracts have be-
come so expensive, l find that l use
spices in my cooking more than ever
before OF course, we have always de-
pended upon nutmeg when making ap-
pie sauce and apple pie, and cinnamon
and Glove in our fruitcakes, but | am
now using cinnamon in the place of
vanilla, in doughnuts, cake and
cookies, while | have been using nut
meg this summer in cooking string
beans The result is delicious. and l
am enclosing the recipe.
BUTTER BEANS WITH NUTMEG.
One quart of beans, one heaping
tablespoon butter, one teaspoon salt,
one-fourth teaspoon pepper, one-halt
teaspoon nutmeg. Break off ends and
strings of beans, and cut the beans in
thin santing pieces, the finer the bet
ter. Cut in this way the beans will
cook much more quickly than when
broken or snapped. Put them in cold
water, about half an hour before cook
ing. Put butter, salt, pepper and nut
meg in a granite saucepan having
tight cover, and when the butter is
melted, add the beans, taking only the
water that clings to them. Add no
more water. Cover tightly, heat
thoroughly. then place where they Will
cook very slowly. Stir the beans from
the bottom occasionally, and the but
ter and liquid drawn from the beans
will make sufficient moisture to steam
them. If they cook too rapidly add
enough water to cover the bottom of
the pan. They will cook in an hour,
and being already seasoned, may be
sent at once to the table.

HAMMER
BALL, BUT IT'S
USELESS
Weak Pitching, and Owners
Lack of Spirit Kills
. Quaker City Club.
BY SID MERCER.

NEW YORK, May 26.-The trou
bles of the Phillies should give the
National League pause.
Here is a team that can hit the
ball-that boasts of the leading
home run hitter in the ma jor
leagues this season-yet, 1t has
won only eight of the twenty-six
games played thus far.
Seldom do the Phillies, make less
than ten hits in game themselves
but their own pitchers are slaugh
tered almost daily. They have set
tied down in last place. A McGraW
couldn't get them out unless he
had some. support from the owner
Of the club.
The fault is up above. The
Phillies for several years have ex'
listed on the crumbs of Sunday
baseball in New York. With their
seventy seven days at home reck-
oned at a dead loss they could
still show a profit because of their
takings at Saturday. Sunday, and
holiday games at the Polo Grounds
and Ebbet's Field.
When a baseball club owner
cares nothing for civic pride; when
he permits himself to be subsidized
by winning clubs and makes no real
effort to assist an ambitious man
ager, he should be called to &C
count.
The National League is suffering
from conditions in Philadelphia
Playing with the Phillies is con-
sidered the last step down In the
minor league.
Able youngsters who are cor.
raled by Philadelphia scouts spend
more time planning how to get
away from the Phillies than to
planning the defeat of the onennv.
Thus a very dangerous situation is
created.
A ballplayer who Doesn't, try is
in. danger Of being exiled for life.
