L1 something strange to James

blocks from his home, on the slopes
Of Bunker Hill.
James is young. just 10, but for
eight years the girl has fascinated
him. When he was small boy sight
of her made his heart jump Her
smile was friendly, but it embarrassed
him. He fought fist battles in her de-
tense, and the fellows said he was her
beau.
But he wasn't her beau, yet he was
drawn 70 her.
The girl, Josephine Buckley, held a
corresponding tender feeling toward
him. He was her hero.
AS they grew older, playing togeth-
or, going to school together. James
watched her beauty bloom. She had
thick black hair flashing black eyes,
soft complexion and a lively smile
And James was particularly proud Of
Ter because she didn't go to the pub
lie dance halls with the other girls.

1t was inevitable that the two
should become sweethearts.
But an intangible hidden influence
held their love in check.

Why is it that fruits which are
sweet enough raw require sweet
ening after being heated or
cooked?
There are several reasons. Some
OF the natural sugar which is pres
ent nj the ra1w fruit is either lost or
converted into acid in the process of
cooking; then again it is a matter Of
the al4Iivated taste Of individual. Most
people like a tart apple rather than
an insipid, sweet apple. and they like
fruit for the fresh. tart flavor which
it possesses. After the fruit is heat
ed it loses this freshness and natural
flavor and the addition of sugar
makes it more palatable.

How can one remove the burned

The usual method is to cook raw po-

mashed potatoes in it, or to heat it for
some little time with a small amount

badly burned can hardly be made to

Writings Between

Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. s (By A.

council of the American Federation
of Labor. through Samuel Gompers,
today refused to publish the cores
pondence which Mr.. Gompers said
last Wednesday had passed between
himself and John w. Davis, Demo-

The council held it was up to Mr..
Davis to make public his share of the
correspondence, if he wished. Then
the council would publish Mr.. Com
pers' communication to Mr.. Davis.
1T is Mr.. Davis move" declared
Matthew Well. vice president of the

first message. He sought the con-
ference with Mr.. Gompers. He re-
quested Mr.. Gompers, after he had
been nominated, and the Democratic
platform adopted, to submit to him
statement of questions in which
labor was interested"
The executive council Is near the
end of it's program, but how long It
will remain in session at the Ambas-

mains uncertain. Politics has added
to the program so many unscheduled
items that the order of business has

Herriot Now Smokes Pipe

Whether Monsieur Edouard Her
riot, Premier Of France. uses a pipe
for its own sake or whether, since
the visit of General Dawes to Eu-
rope, he has decided its other virtues
are such~that no statesman with a
hard Job on his hands should ignore
them, is the question that Is going
the rounds.
M. Herriot was seen in Paris with
a pipe in his mouth for the first
time when he returned from the
electoral campaign at the head of
brand new majority to succeed M.
Poincare, who neither smokes nor
enjoys the reputation. like General
Dawes, Of being a man Of more than
ordinary luck. 1t Is limited good
Is q great admirer of the chief re-
parations expert and was dazzled by
the fact that the American found
a way out of the reparations tangle,
attributes part of the Dawes success
to the qualities of an underslung
pipe as mascot.
The pipe has just made its ap-
pearance for the first time in his
tory, so far as anyone has been able
to trace. in the inner sanctum Of the
Quai d'Orsay, where the cigarette
heretofore has predominated.
But NJ. Herriot has not gone to
extremes. He has refrained from
adopting the undertaking pattern.
His pipe Is the ordinary French
briar. The Premier's choice not
only shows loyalty to home indus
tries but pays a compliment to the
activity OF a small enterprise in the
foothills Of the Alps, one of his ia
vorite Fairgrounds.
