WASHINGTON, May 24.-In an

interest of carrying out the ideal
Of the preamble to the constitution
which set as one aspiration of the
republic the establishment of JUS

The elaborate machinery of the
courts cannot insure justice. the
president said, "if some individu-

Mr.. Harding's appeal for more
law abiding nation was delivered

The president said the country
needs ito find a commanding and
dominating national Interest to
restore the solidarity that existed

since then.

LA F0LLETTE'S new
NATIONAL PARTY
BEGINS TOMORROW
Progressives Tackle r. r.
Problem First as
Most Vital
BY LAWRENCE MARTIN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, May 24.-The
so-called non-political progressive
movement headed by Senator LaFol-
lettc, is about to become definitely
a political movement. The meeting
of progressives in Chicago tomorrow
to consider the railroad problem will
put the progressive group into the
thick of NATIONAL politics. From now
en- whatever the progressive group
does will be linked with LaFollctte s
presidential boom. Instead of being
o non bipartisan progressive move
mcnt, engineered by men of both
mai ior parties, it will become La
Toilette movement and probably Il
third party.
Two Reasons for Move
There are two reasons for this.
One is that LaFollette will domi
nate the railroad conference and all
succeeding conferences on taxation,
immigration, foreign relations and
other questions.
LaFo,lette' group, when it takes
any position at all, will differ with
both the republicans and the demo
Gratis.
LaFollette has chosen to make his
first move on the railroad problem
Linked with it and dependent in q
measure on its settlement are ques-
tions affecting general prosperity,
taxes, agriculture, manufacturing,
coal mining, employment generally.
Here, LaFollette believes, is the
great opportunity for the progress
sive group to present a program
that the country will rally to with
enthusiasm.
Railroad Problem Muddled
Both republicans and democrats
have muddled the transportation
problem, LaFollette says.
Lower freight rates, honest capi-
talization, rigid governmental con-
troll, complete restoration of cOmpe-
tition, adequate service, protection
of life-thcse will be the cardinal
points of the progressive program.

QUALIFICATIONS OF A NURSE

Several letters have come to me in response to an article
OF minte entitled, Nurses" Some of these correspondents
arc contemplating taking MP the profession II nursing and
write to ask me what I consider the qualifications of a good
nurse.
Let me reply in article form.
In my Judgment good health is the first qualification.
There is no work a woman may engage in that requires a
more sound body or more welLcontroled nerves than nursing.
Another absolutely essential qualification is good temper.
One must have a gentle and kind manner and radiate cheer
fulness.
Cleanliness is next to Goodness is never more true
than in the nursing profession. 1t is a cardinal virtue, and no
woman can be good nurse who is careless in her personal ap-
pearance. Such a type of person will also be careless in the
preparation of food for the sick, where the most scrupulous
neatness should be observed.
A nurse should possess frmness and decision of charac-
ter, for in the management of the sick such frmness is often
absolutely necessary.
The business of taking care of the sick, if rightly attended
to, requires a devotion to the interests and wants of the pa
tent that can only be given by a person possessing a spirit OF
self-denial.
A nurse should be as free as possible from any personal
and annoying mannerisms.
These I consider the most essential qualifications. If you
have them and nursing appeals to you try it as your PROBES
sion. Your success is practically guaranteed.

chickens. Mix one-fourth cup OF
butter, two teaspoons of paprika

been placed in a pan skin side down,
Place in a hot I'VE and cook for
ten minutes. Turn the chickens
over, haste we'll with the butter and
cook fifteen minutes, bastiAg once
or twice during that time.
Usually the chickens are thorough
ly cooked in twenty-five minutes,
but if they do not seem to be done
in, that length of time, cook ten
minutes longer. Serve at once on q
hot platter, with butter and juices
remaining in the pan poured over

They're at 1t again.
Now comes a Spanish dancer
straight from the land Of the fan and
perfect lover should be.
American girls apparently are not
familiar with the phenomenon. so
every once in a while a fair foreign
er comes over here to tell us all
about it.
1t is curious how they agree. In
fact, their deductions are so much
alike that we are beginning TO sus-
pect propaganda.
THE perfect lover is the mar who
makes love with his heart rather
than his tongue" asserts the latest
newcomer to our shores. Sincerity
and pretty talk do not go together"
His words are as the meringue on
the pudding, the powdered sugar on
the d%oughnut, the fluff on the cat
tail.
The Englishman and the Ameri-
can. she says, r not given to rhe-
toric when they make love. But the
Latin-well, being a Latin herself,
she can speak u in public. 1t is as
sumed.
THE spaniard plays at love many,
many times" she says. He love
great-so!" She reaches the naive
conclusion that the more tickle the
man is, the greater his chances of
being constant when he finds the
right woman.
I'm slipping from flower to flower
he has learned his way around. He
has gained a knowledge of all women
which leaves him an expert at select
ing the final one"
Very pretty, Senorita. but after
you've been here a few weeks you'll
learn that the American girls have a
hand in that selection business them
selves.

LONDON, April 26-When the
British kings second son, the Duke
OF York. led Lady Elizabeth Bowes-
Lyon to the altar today, the event
had extraordinary interest because
there is an increasing feeling that
his wife will some day be queen OF
England. q
Britons are more and more in
clining to the belief that the hand
some and tremendously popular
Prince of Wales has decided to be
a bachelor. At any rate he is still
heart-whole and fancy-free at an
age when most heirs to a throne
are married and rearing a family.
Lady Elizabeth Immediately upon
her marriage will become fourth
lady in the land. At all informal or
state affairs she will rank only after
Queen Mary the Duchess Queen
Alexandra and Princess Mary, Wis
countess Lascelles.
There is every indication that the
duke and his bride will be Increas-

because of her good looks and pleas

The duke has no property. His al

For Supper
and Other Meals

when do we eat?" from the men
folks always a despairing
What shall we eat?" from the har-
raised planner of three meals a day.
The nutrition groups meeting in
many communities, with Miss
Frances Whitcomb, home demon
stration agent, are trying to Solve the
problem of selecting well balanced
and easily prepared meals.
Dinner is easy comparatively:
Roast, steak, or chops, vegetables,
salad, dessert. The variations are
many. But when it comes to lunch
| con or supper, the housewife is up
against another problem. Once a day
is often enough to serve meat, yet
the supper or luncheon must be sat
isfying enough to prevent father and
the boys from ravaging the pantry
before the next meal m around.
Let eggs be the mainstay, suggests
the New Jerseys Agricultural Col
lege nutrition specialist, DIR. Florence
Powdermaker. They are not only
nutritious, but are also easy to pre-
pare and very popular. Considering
their nourishment and the way they
can be made to stretch, they are not
expensive. Best of all there is an
endless variety of ways in which
they can be served.
Here are about twenty suggestions
for a starter. Try poaching them as
! usual, and serving on toasted shred
ded wheat biscuit or t~riscuit. This
is especially useful for Sunday night
when the household is "all out of
bread" as often happens In the best
regulated homes. A little cheese
-.-4-l -.r- Al AszAYYft G~Cf adds vaef
and makes a variation.
Baked eggs are a very welcome
change from the inevitable boiled.
Butter a baking dish and pour in a
| little milk or cream. Into this drop
the eggs and bake in a pan of water
until set, mo- too hard. Season well.
| Crisp bits of bacon and a little bacon
! fat, placed in the dish first instead
of the milk makes a delicious COM
bination.
Scrambled eggs are always popu-
! lar. Clipped smoked beef, frizzled
| first, grated cheese, parsley cut fine,
| tomatoes, peppers, corn, ham or
bacon well fried, in fact almost any
bits of meat left over fro ma previ-
Gus meal, add tremendously to the
taste of the scramble" and make
the eggs go farther. Where clans or
oysters are plentiful, a ~favorite dish
is made by first browning the clans,
then pouring in the beaten eggs, stir
ring until set.
Did you ever try rice, eggs and
cheese? 1t is capital supper or lunch
dish, both attractive and nourishing
and not hard to prepare. Boil the
rice (Southern style, In plenty of
sailed water). When done, mold on
a platter, garnish generously with
circles of hard boiled egg and pour
over the whole a thick cream sauce
in which a generous supply of Amer
lean Cor snappy) cheese has been
melted. Season we'll.
For warm weather the devilled egg
is always popular for supper and
picnics. Boil for Is or 20 minutes.
Remove the yolk, mash with salt,
pepper, oil, vinegar and mustard,
and stuff the whites up again.
Minced ham or chopped pickles, or
olives added to the yolks add greatly
to the 'devillish" taste.
