.AH Fools, Dnv,, Legend

There is a tradition among Jews
that the custom OF making fools on
the first OF April arose from the fact
that Noah sent out the dove on the
hrat day OF the month corresponding
to our April. before the water had
abated. To perpetuate the memory or
the deIiverance Of Noah and his fam
ily, it was customary on this anniver-
sary to punish persons who had for
gotten the remarkable circumstances
connected with the date. by sending
them on some foolish errand, similar
to that on which the patriarch sent the
luekless bird from the windows OF the
ark.

Hopi and Apache Dolls

The bureau OF American ethnoIogy
says that the dolls of the Hopi In
dams are never made Of clay. but are
manufactured from the subterranean
branch Of the cottonwood tree. They
are not necessarily rain gods, although
the need Of rain IS 50 omnipresent and
these images are copies OF certain
idols which appear on rain affairs. that
they are sometimes called rain gods.
They are, however. not gods. but dolls,
and are made by the parents and
given TO the children as playthings.
The dolls of the Apache. as well az
certain other tribes, are often made OF
adobe. and are probably used in much
the same way as the Hopi dolls.

The berry season is now at It's
height and the housewife who wishes
to have a good stock of preserves on
her pantry shelves for winter use, will
take advantage of any bargains she
can get when she finds her dealer over
stocked.
Conservcs are always delicious
adjunct to hot roasts or cold cuts,
and raspbcrries and currants are
a splendid combination. A con-
serve made of these berries together
with other fruits, provides a delight
full pungcnt flavor which is sure to
satisfy the most fastidious palate.
And, in addition. its lovely color helps
to make a wcll-appointcd table look
more attractive.
COOK CURRANTS.
Place two quarts of currants in an
cnamcled ware saucepan together with
a quarter of a cup of water. Simmer
until the currants are soft and then
press through an enamcled ware colan-
der to remove the skins. Then put
the juice and pulp into the enameled
ware saucepan again, add three pounds
of graduated sugar and cook for
about ten minutes. The surface
of cnamelcd ware is impcrvious to
the action of fruit acids. so there
will be no danger of the fruit af-
fecting it or becoming affected by
it. Then add one medium sized
of strawberry rhubarb cut into small
pieces, and the pulp and juice of four
oranges, with just n little of the outer
rind-about two tablespoons. Let the
mixture simmer until it is n thick
consistency. Pour into jars and, when
cool, seal.
RICE PUDDING.
Mothers realize the healthful prop
critics of rice and its importance in a
child's diet, but often find that the
simple methods Of serving it boiled or
MS a baked custard become monotonous
and distasteful. By combining it with
fruit it takes on in entirely diff
fcrent appearance which is sure to
uDIltdl " tut dppttihNs
although its flavor is also changed,
it carries the same amount of nutri-
ment-in fact more. because fresh
fruit is also beneficial.
This pudding, which is easily
prepared, can be served as main
luncheon or supper dish for chill
drcn, and with n few added touches
becomes dainty dessert for the
grown-ups.
Boil one Gun of rice in n quart
of sailed water until very soft
Drain the rice, add cup of milk
and then cook until it is like mush.
Add tablespoon of butter, half
cup of sugar, tablespoon Of
lemon juice and little of the
grated rind. and two wcll-bcatcn eggs.

RAW VEGETABLE
IS NEEDED
DAILY
: slads Play an Important
Part in H e aIth of
American Family.

Nutrition experts tell us that we
should include in our diet at least one
fresh vegetable each day. Two. they
say are even better. The famous biolo-
gist, DR.. L. V. McCollum of Johns
Hopkins University, declared that ~he
Importance of raw, leafy vegetables
rs supplements to the typical Amer
lean diet of meat, bread and potatoes
cannot be ovcrestimated, and one or
another of them hould appear on the
menu of every family every day."
The reason for this need is easily
explained. Only fresh fruit and raw
vegetables furnish certain vitamines
essential to good health. When We
cat salads we obtain these all-impOr-
tant vitamines.
FRESH SALADS
Some mineral matter is in all fresh
salads, and this food element makes
for better blood and stronger bones.
Since the recent discovery of vita
Elines-those elements of food so es-
scntial to health-careful housewives
are making an effort to include them
in the diet of their families every day.
Green salads are the easiest and most
delicious means of getting these vita
mines into menus but some times and
in some places it is difficult to pro-
cure the fresh green salad plants that
are so rich in them.
WATERCRESS SALAD
Watcrcress. whose dark green color
and pungent flavor so stimulating to
the appetite, grows along cool banks
of streams. In some localities it may
be had for the picking. 1t requires
care in cleaning because of its small
leaves and many stems to which the
sand clings.
Pick over cress, carefully cutting off
coarse stems. and wash thoroughly.
Chill in ice water, shake rs dry as
possible before serving. Pile lightly
in salad bowl and serve with French
dressing or Tarragon dressing.

SINGH CASE IS
HALTED AGAIN.:
ACCUSED IS I'LL

Another setback occurred in the
trial of Parker Singh this morning,
when the defendant was found to
be too i'll to attend court and made
it necessary for Judge Cole to con-
tinue the trial until tomorrow
morning.
When court convened shortly aft
er 10 o clock, Attorneys Wilson and
Hervey, counsel for Singh, inform
ed the court that the latter was i'll
and asked that the case be contin-
ued. Singh was brought from the
jail and was examined in the judges
chambers by Drs.. House and Hodg-
kins, who stated that although
Singh was undoubtedly i'll, he could
probably remain III court, while the
ease proceeded in IN effort to
obtain Il jury to hear the evidence.
An easy chair was obtained for
Singh and the case was ready to
proceed. but Singh proved unequal
to the occasion and it was plainly
evident that the man was suffering.
The court, thereupon, ordered con
tinuance until tomorrow.
The Singh case opened 4 week ago
today, and continued through until
last Thursday when a recess was
taken until today. Thus far q jury
has not been obtained, and it will
be at least tomorrow afternoon be

FLOOD PEAK" OF
COLORADO SETS
NEW Low RECORD

That new low record for the
flood peak in the Colorado river
viii be established this wear. was
the prediction made today by Ray
IS. Carbcrry, chief engineer of the
Imperial Irrigation District, who
stated that an estimated peak of
As 900 second feet is expected about
June l2 The river is running
slightly under that amount at this
time, and has been for several
weeks past.
The flood peak in former years
has been as follows:
June "a, 1924, 65.S00 second feet
June s, 1928, 100000 second feet
June 10, 1922, $4,000 second feet
June 2S, 1921, 1S5,700 second feet
June s. 1920. 10000 second feet.
These figures show that there
has been heavy decline in the
amount of the peak each year for
the past five years.
The Imperial Irrigation District
will be using every bit of water
that it is possible to obtain from
the Colorado during the latter part
of the summer when the river is
at its lowest point. Unless heavy
rains fall in the upper watershed
of the Colorado river, there is no
indication that any increase in the
water supply can be expected, after
the peak flood is passed..

BUILDING HOLDS
UP SPLENDIDLY
DURING MONTH

Ell Centre building perm hitFfor the
month of May totalled $26,675, com
pared with 1925 for May, 1924.
Four of the - permits issued dur
ing the month were for new dwell
ing houses and one permit of $10,-
600 was granted to the FL Centre
Lodge of Elks for alterations on
the old court house property, which
is being turned into a club house.
This is remarkable record as
il has been unusual i'll previous
years for home builders to begin
construction of building after the
first of May, owing to the early
summer season.
Bank clearings doring the month
amounted to $2,399, ,o72.37.
Post office receipts for the month
We're $4,17l.21.
Business conditions generally in
the city are in excellent condition,
though the normal low period for
the year has set in. There are few
vacancies existing in the city, eth
er in commercial property or dwell
in2s, which is considered the best
proof that FL Centro' is prosperous.
