FOUR INSURGENTS
ARE OSTRAC|zED
REPUBLICAN LEADERS DECIDES
COMMITTEE APPOINTMENTS
WILL BE WITHHELD
La Toilette, Laid, Frazier and Brook
hart Deprived of Places In
Future Party Con-
ferences

Washington, = Senator Robert LII
Toilette of Wisconsin and three of hi
principal supporters in the senate
practically were read out of the Re
publican party at conference of sen
ate Republicans.
The conference adopted resolution
by Senator Reed of Pennsylvania un
der which Mr.. La Toilette, Senators
| Ladd and Frazier of North Dakota
and Brookhart of Iowa will no longer
be given committees or invited to at
tend future party conferences.
Thirty-two of the fifty-one Repub-
| Leans of the senate attended the con-
ference. Senator Ladd of North
Dakota was the only one of the in
surgent group present. Senators La
Toilette of Wisconsin, Brookhart of
Iowa, Frazier of North Dakota and
Norris of Nebraska we've absent.
Two of the three new senators were
present. They were William M. But
Ter of Massachusetts, appointed by
Governor Cox to fill the seat made
vacant by the death of Senator Lodge,
and Jesse H. Metcalf of Rhode Island,
elected to fill the unexpired term OF
the late Senator Colt.
The Reed resolution follows:
Resolution, that II be the sense of
the conference that Senators La Fol
lette, Ladd, Brookhart and Frazier
be not invited to future conferences
and be not named to fill any Repub-
lican vacancies on senate commit
tees"
The resolution will not disturb pre-
sent committee assignments, Repub-
lican leaders said, but will serve as
an expression of the view of the con-
ference to be considered by the COM
mittee on committees when the ques-
ton of filling vacancies comes up.
Separate viva voce votes were
taken on each section of the resolu-
ton and the majority was overwhelm-
ing in each case, with only two or
three voices raised in opposition.
There were no speeches in opposi-
ton, but Senator Herald, Oklahoma,
suggested the certain notifications
which were disapproved.
Senator Spencer of Missouri NOV
ed the appointment of a committee
to suggest ways and means of accom-
plishing the same purpose sought in
the resolution, but the conference
adopted the Reed resolution as the |
preferable alternative.
The question first was raised by
Senator Edge of New Jersey, who
told his colleagues that Republican
faced responsibility in the
natter to the country, to the party
and to themselves which could not be
;hirked.

Women Demslnd Navy Rights

Washington, = The National
Woman's party has gone to Secretary
Wilbur with a vigorous protest
against any law which would bar
women from service in the naval or
marine corps reserve. A deputation
from the party's headquarters de-
clared senate and house bills now
pending mentioned that these services
should be composed of finale citi-
zens," and declared they showed dis
elimination against women. Among
other things they asserted such le-
gislation would debar women from
serving as "yeomanettes," as they
did in the World war.

Throat and Chin Line.

From the time she is 25. the wise
wise woman will begin to watch her
throat and chin, and at the first
sign of age she will take measures
to preserve a slim and youthful line
here. People think that age shows
first in wrinkles, but it doesn't; IT
shows first and most strongly in a
double chin or a shriveled one.
Take your hand mirror and stand
against another mirror, sidewise, In
a strong light and study your outline
from your mouth down. The line
that curves around the cup Of the
chin should sweep firmly backward
until it curves again at the throat.
The first sign of middle age is a
break Immediately under the chin, as
though the skin were caught up
tightly to the front of the jaw bone
the second sign, as you look strai ght
into your reflection, is a hint of
Fuckers in the skin as you swalloW,
Fuckers running back from chin to
throat. The last sign is a loose bag
of skin under the chin, or if you
are overweight, a larger bag very
tightly stuffed with superf1uous flesh.
Get rid of all these signs of ad-
vancing years. If you are overweight
by even a few pounds, diet until
you've lost enough to restore slim
lines. If you are underweight, put
on some flesh; shriveled skin that
looks old becomes young again when
it has a sufficient fatty layer beneath
it, Massage every day, throwing

that nothing is quite SO important as
safety. They knew that Yowler the
Bob Cat and Old Man Coyote were,
keeping watch of them, hoping to
catch one of them. They knew that
it wasn't safe for them to work more
than a few feet from the water. So
they had taken up the time to work
on the dam, and now the water was
close up to the trees they wanted to cut.
But though the water was now
close to the trees, Paddy and Mrs.
Paddy had to be constantly on guard.
They knew that Old Man Coyote was
likely to come prowling around at
any hour of the day or night. They
knew that Yowler the Bob Cat would
do his best to steal up on them and
surprise them at work. So never for
an instant were they careless. They
never started work without first
looking and listening and carefully
testing the air for scent of enemies.
And while they were working they
kept stopping to do these same
things. 1t made the work slower, but
at the same time it meant safety and
this was the important thing.
Now Paddy has friends as we'll as
enemies, and these friends took a
great deal of interest in the work
Paddy and Mrs. Paddy were doing.
Sammy Jay was one of them. Every day
he used to fly over to Paddy's pond to
watch the cutting of the trees. Many
times he had seen men cut trees In
other parts Of the Green Forest, and It

rots, and so forth, not ready prepared,
but neither are they just from the
garden; and fresh vegetables, such as
lettuce, celery, spinach, string beans,
etc. Others are available far into the
Winter months and some the whole
season.
Estimating Bulk.
In estimating the right amount to
serve to a. given number OF persons
it should be remembered that vege-
tables from the can do not vary in
bulk, as they neither swell nor
shrink. The same Is not true OF dried
vegetables. In measuring dried vege-
tables, such as peas and beans. the
amount will swell approximately six
times its size in soaking and cooking.
Their nutritive value is great. Ex-
periments have proved that the food
value Of dried vegetables, when cook
ed, compares we'll with the nutritive
value of the fresh cooked.
Getting Best Flavor.
If the canned vegetables are rinsed
In cold water after being taken from
the can and before heating, they &C
quire q taste more like fresh ones. In
every case the flavor is best when the
vegetable Is taken from the can sew
eral hours before serving.
Fresh Vegetables
In serving dried or canned vege-
tables, some fresh green vegetables,
such as lettuce, celery, cabbage, spin
ach, string beans, etc. should be In
cluded in the menu. The last kind Is
mentioned because OF being obtain
able at most markets.
Southern Vegetables.
One Northern housewife was heard
to remark recently that 1t was diff
ficult to know what vegetables to can.
as many kinds could be obtained
fresh through the greater part of the
Winter. She referred especially to
string beans, which are from the
South Besides being delicious, these
Southern vegetables are moderately
priced. In this respect they differ
from hothouse products. So much
cultivation and protection from
weather conditions is involved in the
growth of hothouse foods that it is
no wonder prices soar beyond the
limits Of the average purse. With
the Southern-grown vegetables, ham
ding and transportation are the
main factors in increasing the price.
and they are now being brought in
such quantity to distant markets
that tneSe Items are Teuucco 10 tHe
minimum and the cost to the house
keeper Is nominal.
BY not letting the vegetable menu
slide too much toward any one OF the
three kinds of vegetables, and by US
ing judgment in selecting the appro-
pirate kind from each class to At In
with the menu, there need be nc
monotony in the setting of the Win
ter table.

Historp of Dour Same
BY PHILIP FRANCIS NOWLAy,
ROWNTREE
RACIAL oRIGIN-EneIish.
SOURCE-A locality.

Here is a family name which ought
to be easy for anybody with even the
most elementary knowledge of botany
to explain.
A "rowntree," Of course. was a
rowantree, or, as it is spoken of in
many sections, the mountain ash.
1t was a tree common In many
sections of England in medieval
times and 1t would have been strange
indeed had it not found its way In
some manner into English family
nomenclature.
The manner in which tho name of
a tree might readily become the
name of man has been explained
In previous articles. In the centuries
following the Norman invasion Of
England, when populations were in
creasing rapidly and men moved
about from place to place more
freely than previously, il became
customary. and even necessary, to
give a man some descriptive name in
addition to his given name. These
names were at first naturally de-
scriptive in some manner of the in
dividual, often, as in the present case,
referring to some mark of his place
of residence.
If you bear this name, you may
safely assume that some medieva,
ancestor of yours had a mountain ash
tree growing by his door.

interested him great deal to see how
like these human tree cutters Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy were. The chief
difference was that they used teeth
instead of axes.
Now Sammy's sharp eyes miss little
that is going on. Twice he saw Old
Man Coyote trying sneak up within
jumping distance of the Beavers, and
each time he screamed "Thief, Thief!
Thief"' at the top of his lungs Paddy
and Mrs. Paddy stopped working in
stantly and plunged into the water.
So 1T came about that whenever they
saw Sammy Jay about, they worked
without worry. They knew that they
could depend on him to give them
warning.
1t was at night that they had
greater cause for worry. Sammy Jay
was asleep then. He never goes out
after dark. He couldn't see If he did.
But even at night there were friends
ready to give them warning. Light
foot the Deer often came down to the
pond to drink and would stay awhile
to watch them work. It was he who
discovered Yowler, the Bob Cat, and
with a snort and stamping of hoofs
gave warning. Once 1t was Peter
Rabbit who warned them. Peter was
sitting close by hole under an old
stump when he caught glimpse of
Yowler crawling almost fiat on his
stomach towards those busy workers.
Peter thumped a warning with his
stout hind feet and then dived into
that hole under tho old stump.
So Paddy's friends helped by keep
ing watch, and the food pile cut in
the pond grew bigger and bigger.

Cooking For Two.
Sunday Night Supper.

The season Of informal and appe-
tizing little suppers" Is with US
again! The Sunday night supper, for
example, is one OF the pleasant oc-
casions Of the week, and II you are
lucky enough to have a little kitchen
your guests will delight in helping
you. True, perhaps some of tho men
guests may hinder moro than they
help, but never mind, let them tie
on the aprons il they like and fuss
around"
The type of meal which we are
discussing is not the regular warm
meal that comes early in the evenings
to take the place of the weekday
dinner. Rather are we thinking OF
character, and Is served later in the
evening after the pleasant social in
tercourse has been the order OF the
day or of the night. This means that
we are on the lookout for quickly
prepared dishes and dishes that are
often made from store-closet sup
plies.
In this category would come
savories and other products stored In
the modern dainty can or bottle. Here
are few recipes Of this type.
DeviIed Ham and Cress.
To prepare the sandwich filling mix
small can Of deviled ham with
chopped onion, u cup Of minced
cress and enough prepared salad
dressing to make the mixture OF the
right consistency to spread. Have
ready very thin slices of 24-hour-old
white bread. Spread one slice with
the ham mixture and butter the
other slightly. Press together, trim
off crusts and cut the sandwich in
Clam BouilIo,.
Prepare a small can OF clans in
bouillon by chopplng the clans thor
oughly. Have ready a pint of whole
milk, and bring this to the boiling
point. Season with 4 teaspoonful of
salt. u teaspoonful Of pepper and
bit of butter. AS soon as the butter
melts add the clans and heat the
mixture to the boiling point. Serve in
bouillon cups with a dab Of whipped
cream on top of each.
Sardine Toast.
Heat ono dozen sardines of stand
ard brand. Meantime, beat the yoiks
OF eggs with a teaspoonful of tar
ragon vinegar, ! Of made mustard, u
teaspoonful of salt and Il tablespoon
full of butter. Place these in a sauce
pan and heat until quite thick. Cut
the crust from thin squares of white
bread and brown the slices in the
butter. Drain and arrange the slices
on a hot platter. Place the sardines
on the squares and pour over the egg
sauce.

HOW 1T STARTED
"Tn Palm Off,
BY JEAN NEWTON.

We are all familiar with this bit Of
slang which Is frequently used in
everyday speech TO signify decep-
ton, whether It is inferior material
that is being "palmed off, or a false
excuse.
The phrase comes to US from the
parlance of the Snowman, the refer
ence being originally to the juggIer
or magician" who causes sn article
to disappear and then suddenly. pro-
duces it in the palm of his hand.
The "magician's" trade is an old
one, and ''palming off" is no upstart
in the history of language. AS far
back as the carly seventeenth century
Dryden said:
you may palm upon US new for

usually applied to Winter wheat, and
hard wheat to that raised in the

Friends Help Paddy.
Alas, for one who lacks friend.
No worse misfortune can attend.

Paddy the Beaver and Mrs. Paddy
were working hard to get their
food pile out in the pond big enough
to last all Winter. They knew that
IL the pond should freeze over before
that food pile was big enough they
would be likely to have a. hard time
before Spring. This is why they had
disliked to take the time to work on
their dam in order to make their
pond bigger and carry the water close
up to the trees they intended to cut.
Eut both were wise enough to know
