New GriddIe Iron.

Housewives, both experienced and
inexperienced, will be glad to know of
an entirely new model griddle iron.
The new griddle is particularly adapt
ed to maintain a. uniform heat over its
entire surface and insures that rich
golden brown that is SO much desired.
At the same time. the cakes are
thoroughly done. The griddle iron
was recently put on the market.
The griddle iron base Is made from
three layers of metal. n combination
first of galvanized iron, then sheet
copper and finished with aluminium on
the top, each sheeting of metal having
an air space between for heat concen-
tration, which admits of an intense
heat, and also which can be reduced
to any amount of heat desired, and it
will also retain the heat and continue
cooking for some time after the heat
is turned off. The same construction
idea is carried out in the fry pan
and gives a perfect pan broIl for a
porterhouse or sirloin steak.
Small Vacuum Cleaner.
Owners Of autos will be glad to
know of the hand vacuum cleaner,
which is simply miniature of the
large-size electric vacuum cleaner. 1t
is especially good for cleaning and
busting all small condensed spaces,
such as the inner compartments Of
cars, upholstered chairs and cushions,
and getting the dust and CRIME out
of the hooks and corners, making
everything "spick and span" and

Plenty Of Ground.
A high house built on level ground
is distinctly unattractive. 1t looms up
like a sore thumb. No amount of
adapting ever overcores the unsightly
silhouette, though there are ways of
minimizing the appearance Of height,
in some measure. If there Is plenty
Of ground, a low, rambling house on
1t is perfect in silhouette, providing,
Of course. that the architecture is
good. The house becomes an element
Of beauty in the landscape.
The Silhouette.
These two examples serve to indi-
cate what is meant by suiting the sill
houette Of house correctly to its site.
The average homebulder is apt to
have his house two stories and half
high, that is, the first floor has the
main rooms, the second the chambers
and the third. with slanting room. eX-
ira chambers, storerooms, etc. Such
house suits the average require
ments Of the householder and the av-
erage necessities of the house lot. 1t
is when special conditions must be
met that it is essential to realize that
the site Of the residence dictates the
correct type of house. To make mis-
take in this fundamental matter Is to
waste money and to mar rather than
improve the grounds. The effect of
the silhouette of the house and its
surroundings must be considered care
fully before starting to build.

i GOOD WORD FOR FOLLOWERS

So much stress has been laid on
that of being leaders. The question
has even been put in this way: Are
you going to be leader or only a
follower? That is almost an insult
to- the masses and therefore it is
pleasing to hear and read it in
different manner where common
can not all be leaders and there is
certainly need for good followers,
Governor Christianson recently put
it thus:
Society needs leaders, men who by
their imagination, knowledge and
courage furnish the initiative for pro-
gress. But it needs followers ever
more-men who execute what others
plan And I am more concerned for
the welfare of those who follow than
the prosperity of those who lead.
The strong, the rich, and the power
full can usually take care of them
selves. Their rights should be pro-
tected, of course; but they should
ask no more. Let us labor to make
this land where every man has a
chance, but where no one enjoys a
privilege; where material rewards
SHALL barring the inevitable vicissi-
tudes of life, go to man in proper
tion to his ability and the efforts
and sacrifice he shall put forth.
Open wide to all the door of oppor-
tunity, and we shall achieve the

some to political leaders on both sides
and as consequence upset the dope
in several of the Midwest states.
The so-called regular" parties are
also disturbed over the possibility of
vote slackers within their ranks.
Experience shows that the folks who
complain the loudest of graft and
corruption in public life are the first
to shirk their duties as citizen in
avoiding casting their ballot. Data
from 35 state primaries indicate an
increased vote this year, but there
is no certainty that the interest man.

The Treasury Department and
other fiscal agencies of the govern
ment are giving serious study to the
question raised by planters and dis
tributing> agencies of cotton in the
South. The Federal Government
agencies have advocated strengthen
ing the cottonf cooperatives, which
now market only ten per cent of the
crop. There is also some talk of

it's capital from private bankers,
whose loaningN powers would be
doubled (for National banks) by the
passage of the pending McFadden.
Bill, and from intermediate credit
banks. 1t is said that the Admins
tration is alarmed over the possibility
of Southern legislators combining with
dissatisfied Representatives from the
West and forcing Agricultural legis-
lation through Congress which would
be more political than economical.
Political parties as well as the great
business interests in the country are
concerned over the so-called Free
Trade Manifest bill signed by Ameri-
can bankers and covering our foreign
trade. The bankers have disclaimed
any idea of lowering the tariff bar
riers below a common sense point
The subject is of such importance
that the Cabinet has considered it at
| two meetings this week. Consider
ing the fact that $22,OO0,O0O,O0O Of
| American money is loaned abroad and
, is increasing each year, those respon-
sible for investments naturally find

Is the Federal Trade Commission
about to pass out of existence? This
| is question that absorbs Washington
these days and the country in general,
as the Supreme Court of the United
States considers the test case brought
by the Claire Furnace Company. The
decision is expected to define the
power of the Federal Trade Commits
sion to compel the production of books
and other documents of the most pri-
| vate business character. The de-
| cision, indeed, may actually deter
mine the fate of the Commission, in
the event the Court upholds the Com
mission, which has attempted to COM
pei the Claire Furnace Company and
twenty other iron and steel producers
! to submit cost data, ETC., under the
alleged power given it by Congress.

Amendment No. 2 (Call it Gill Net

big lumber interests, OR the big land
holders to put any or all of their
cut-over land into timber land again

Just keep the fires out of it, and the
state has fire rangers or wardens to
look after this. The state can put

HE'LL AND THE RAZOR STROP
Duluth Herald)

The other day an eminent clergy
man rejoiced in public because, as he
said, hell has been abolished. He
meant, of course, that there isn't in
theology so much of the old fire and
birthstone threat intended to scare
people into being good.
And yesterday in Chicago DR.. Gratz,
editor of the Methodist >Epworth Her.
aid, said that one reason for 'the
flapping of the flapper and the sheik-
ing of the sheiks'' is the safety razor.
Since father got to using safety ra-
zor instead of the old-fashioned kind,
there is no razor strop hanging in the
bathroom to be used in administering
parental discipline, and since mother
put on dancing pumps the old-fash-
toned slipper, which also used to be
useful in that work, has gone out too.
What these two items come to is
that people are not being told so
much that they must be good or they
will. go to hell and burn in torment
forever, and that children are not
being forced into good behavior so
much as they used to be by threats
of punishment if they are naughty.
Many will regret both facts-and of
course they ARE facts. Yet many,
too, will wonder just how much value
there is in goodness that is kept up
only or chiefly from fear of punish
ment, and whether, after all, good
ness that is kept up because people
have been taught that real happiness
comes only with goodness isn't, much
more substantial.
People certainly are no worse since
hell ceased to figure so largely than
they were before. Indeed they are
steadily better. And though DR.. Gratz
and many others seem to think that
the young folks are naughtier since
flogging went out of fashion, that,
too, is very much to be doubted. They

Our WASHINGTON Letter
Oh NJ ODaley
auDM EDITORIAL ASSOCIATE. stcu4

Washington, Oct. 81. The clamor
of electioneering will come to an end
Saturday night. Except in rare in
stances, both parties issue orders to
cease firing" on that date, giving the
voters a chance to weigh the argu-
ments and determine how they shall
mark their ballots on Tuesday, Nov
ember q. The representation of the
political prophets as to the outcome
of the elections should be taken with
grain of salt. The enthusiasm noted
at political rallies are not always
written into action ON election day,
for it is generally recognized that
people take more interest in spectacu-
lar political bally-hoe shows than in
the serious business of registering
their opinions at the polls.
With the election out of the way
Tuesday next, Senators will be trek
king back to Washington for official
business. They are called back for
the impeachment trial of Federal
Judge English of Illinois which is
scheduled for November 10. The
Senate will sit as tribunal to deter
mine whether this Federal official
should be removed from office. In
asmuch as the Senators sit in a Judi
cial and not in legislative capacity,
they will not be permitted to speak in
the Senate chamber on current events
or on the result of the elections. 1t
will undoubtedly be solemn session
extending over two or three weeks.
The procedure makes it necessary
for a few members of the House of
Representative to return to Wash
ington, especially the committee
which has been designated as the
prosecuting attorneys in the case
against Judge English. While the
rules of the Senate in this case pre-
vent discussion of the English case
outside, there is nothing to prevent
Senators from giving out interviews
to the press and to their constitu-
ents on affairs other than the pend
ing judicial proceedings. 1t is al
most impossible to gag Senator but
rules are rules when made by them
selves.
Members of the House Appropria-
tions Committee will also return to
their official duties within the next
fortnight. It will be necessary to
start the hearings on appropriation
bills. Government executives, es-
pecially the heads of large Federal
Bureaus, expect to be placed ON the
grill as to their plans and policies
for the next fiscal year. The budget
system has simplified this practice
somewhat, but it is still necessary to
indulge in political tricks to obtain
the necessary appropriations to carry
out the ideas of the department heads
or their minor executives.
Campaigners returning from the
field report that 4,S22,000 votes cast
for the aFollette-Wheeler ticket in
the 1924 Presidential campaign may
be justly considered an unknown fac
tor in many states. These voters are
considered free-lances and are bother
