A StupendouS Subject

Creation-what a stupendous SUBJ
iect, with stars still beyond the tele-
scope and living entities beyond the
microscope. Not only the bigness of
it all, but the minuteness staggers
the mind. If 1t is hard to think of
the universe, 1t is also hard to think
of solar system within an atom,
and If 1t is difficult to visualize the
earth as inhabited by millions of
people, 1t is even more difficult to
realize that the human body con-
tains fifteen times as many separate

Then Massachusetts

In Massachusetts, the case Of
Sacco and Vanzetti has become an
overshadowing issue and the senator
ship is likely to turn on it.
These two men were convicted of
murder some five years ago, and
were supposed to have had a fair
trial. especially with all the appeals
taken and heard, but many people
have believed that they were rail-
roaded as radical labor leaders.
This belief has been strengthened
by the recent confession Of Madeiros,
a condemned murderer, which, If
true, would seem to clear them.

the entire situation is developing to
the tune of local issues and local
leaders.

Finding History

1t is commonly supposed that If
we are punished by the present and
unable to penetrate the future, we
at least know something about the
past, but even there we are still
learning.
Legend is constantly giving way
to written history, while history is
giving way to pick and spade.
We are finding civilization not
mentioned In the books and cities,
where we did not imagine men ever
lived.

How can vegetables be cooked to
retain their natural color2


retain their natural color?
Spinach, peas and beans will hold
their bright green, beets their rich
red, carrots their golden yellow and
cabbage can come out of the kettle
as delicately green as 1t went in If
boiled in a small amount Of water
and cooked only until they are done
and not a minute longer. Spinach
and some other greens need no more
water than that which clings to the
leaves after washing and can be
cooked in ten to fifteen minutes.
Peas, beans, beets and squash and
most other vegetables need just
enough water to cover them and will
cook in from Is to IS minutes de-
pending on their size. Cabbage re-
uuires a short time also and should
be taken off the fire as soon as 1t Is
tender. This method of cooking In
sures against yellow and mushy
vegetables and makes them easier

TWO OFFICIALS
MAKE TRIP over
TAMIAM TRAIL
COUNTY COMMISSIONER WAR
rem AND ENGINE EER
BAILEY REPORT MOST EN-
JOYABLE OUTING

County Commissioner Braxton
Warren and County Engineer Cliff
ton Bailey, who made trip last
week over the Tamiami Trail, in
company with L. X. Cannon, as
sis ant state highway engineer.
of the state road department, all
accompanied by Erben Cook, of
the Chevalier Corporation, report
an instructive and enjoyable trip.
That portion of The Trail now
under construction by the State
Road Department for the first ten
miles out of Miami is rapidly near
ing compile ion, and is an excellent
piece of work. The ultimate road
bed will be 80 feet in width, with
an 8-inch washed rock surface,
impregnated with an asphaltic
binder. The state engineers esti-
mate that this portion will be com
pleted within the next 80 days
and bids are being called for, for
an additional 2 miles. The eleva-
ton of the finished grade is 11.5
feet above sea level, and the ulti-
mate cost will be between $4,000
and $4,000 per mile.
From the westerly terminus OF
the aforementioned section, the
route is passable, but rough, to the
Monroe county line. approximately
% miles distant. From the Mon
roe county line, which has been
and is now under construction by
the Chevalier Corporation, the
route is exceptionally good and
smooth, but somewhat narrow.
The forces of the Chevalier Cor
pcration are making good progress
towards the Collier county line,
having but 2.8 miles of road bed
to throw up with the clearing all
done.
It was of in crest to note the
erection of an oil drilling derrick
practically on the Monroe and
Dade county line just south of the
Trail, it being abouts100 feet dis
tant in both directions. Machinery
for the drilling operations is now
being hauled to the site.
The state engineers expressed
considerable admiration for the
work of the Chevalier Corporation
with the difficulties encountered.
and under which they are cheer
fully working, were considered.
and felt, from a preliminary inves-
tigation, that the work through
Monroe county could be accom-
plished satisfactorily wi in the
funds allotted.
