Watermelon Pickle Has
Several Excellent Uses

A very good pickle can be made
from the rinds of watermelons. When
it is being made some of the pieces
may be placed on waxed paper and
allowed to dry out. They should be
turned every day until dry enough to
store. This melon peel can be used
in place of citron in cakes and pud-
dings, and may be dipped in choco-
late or covered with fondant.
The bureau of home economics sup
plies these directions for making
watermelon pickle:

NEW TENOR IN
CHICAGO OPERA

The big moment Of the outer
broadcasts viii be the production of
'Lohengrin" by the Chicago Civic
Opera Company at 10 o'clock. A
new tenor, Rene Maison, will make
his debut in the same part. Others
to be heard will be Leone Kruse. as
Elsa; Cyrena Van Gordon as
"Ortrud," and Robert Ringing as
Frederick"
The broadcast will probably in
clude the second act of the opera
which opens with the famous con.
spiracy duet between Ortrud and
Fdererick and in which Elsa sings
her love sorg from the balcony.
The bridal chorus will also be heard
in the latter part of the act. John
Daniels will serve as the guide for
radio listeners, as usual.

European bartenders, meeting in
Vienna for their annual cocktail
mixing bout, sent Wayne B. Wheeler
and Andrew Volstead telegram of
appreciation for all these two dis
tinguished advocates of prohibition
have done to boost the European
liquor trade.
This is just one more joke that IL
illustrates how closely humor and
pathos are related. 1t wouldn't seem
half so funny but for the tragic back
ground.
American travellers are making
Europeans rich for the sake of booze.
Also. there are more of them going
to Europe. and to other places where
booze can be had, than there would
be were 1t not for prohibition.
A Canadian province Is preparing
to enact special liquor permits to
travellers for this country in order to
attract their patronage.
If the rest of the world doesn't go
prohibition, which is too absurd to
think of, we shall spend a constantly
increasing amount of money for
transportation to other lands and
contribute bigger share to their
support.
What is worse, we shall prove our

selves ridiculous in the eyes of peo.
pie. whom though they might not

PAYING THE PRICE .

Once again the people of this city have evidence
of what it costs them to support archaic. un
workable political system of city government.
Could such situation as exists in the
Central Ave- bridge occur under a business system
of running city affairs?
For months it has been known that the bridge
being slowly destroyed, probably by arti-
cifal detection of the current. Some wanted
some gravel They got it. The water in new
channel undermined the foundations.
All city officials knew about it, but because of
the varied and curious ambitions of certain portions
of the city government nothing was done.
Had factory or a store been faced by a
similar critical situation, there would have been
action, the bridge would have been PROMPTLY re-
paired, the cost would have been held to minimum.
AS matter of fact the records show that the
Board Of Public Works tried to do something. It's
engineers knew the danger and the probability that
very there would be disruption of service and
a bigger bill for either bridge or larger re-
pairs.
1t had it's plans for these repairs and tried, so
the record indicates to get some action.
But 1t had to wait upon the pleasure of the
city council to get the funds and the city council
seemed to be in that state of mind where big
bond issue and bigger contract looked better than
repair bill and restoration Of the bridge.
while these two parts of the city government dis
agreed.
Judged from business standpoint the matter
was handled just it might have been handled in
a quarreling kindergarten.
There method by which this very simple
business proposition could be handled in business
like way.
Just what it will cost the citizens in this single
matter is not yet determined. It is now costing in
Inconvenience and hampered service. Later the bill
will be paid, probably several times in dollars what
it would have cost last fall when the board of works
had its plans for repairs.
The way of escape has been available for some
time. The door seems to be closed for two years,
due to the politicians and the Governor who legis
lated two years Of this present political sys
tenn of government.
But citizens get together at once, vote In a
city manager form of government which substitutes
business for politics in handling business problems

the law permits Indianapolis to get rid of this bun

Yankee fKuItur'

Max Rheinhardt, the German pro-
Queer, finds a new "kultur" develop
ing in America, which he predicts
will one day overshadow that Of Eu-
rope.
He senses the spirit of earnestness
among the American people that is
sadly lacking in the old world.
Instead of seeing jazz as a flare.
back of the jungle, he views it as a
natural expression of the lowest
stratum of society.
Such a view is comforting, to say
the least.

to lie far less optimistic.

IN PAYS TO BE ADVERTISED

The book censor is at work in Boston. A list
of novels supposed to be too much tinged with sex
has been placed the index expurgatorious, so to
speak.
The censor is selfappointed committee of
guardians for the morals tastes and esthetics of the
world at large. But the committee happens to be
able to move the police against the stands and
to bring legal actions in the courts.
When the item of news from Boston reached
New York. big department store had ten copies
of book (not really exciting wicked) which was
among those listed bad" Before noon the books
had all been bought and the manager was phonng
and wiring all over town for fifty or hundred more.
The big market for books is outside Of Boston.
The action of these volunteer censors may impede
for time the sale of these particular books in Bos-
ton but it advertises them to the world at large
particular class of book hunters, and the result is
greatly to stimulate their circulation.
Now IL the books are bad, it is pity to stiml-
late the demand for them, and If they good
wrong to attack them bad, and interfere with
their sale in Boston.
In any case it is more than doubtful IL this vol
unteer committee literary morals is competent to
judge for all the rest of the world as to what should
should not be read.
There is an industry growing up among theatre
cal producers and publishers which seeks profit from
salac1ous sex stuff or from dull and proper stuff
which can be exploited as something shocking And
it is these unmaginative If quite sincere people, like
the Boston censors who lend themselves to such de-
signs
In Defoe's time writer's often had their writings
burned at the hand of the common hangman and even
had to pay added penalty by standing in the stocks

posed to be getting away from such practices

There is instruction in China than in
Nicaragua, more American life and property and
more danger But there is one slight difference

| The Law Lasts

No matter how silly Sterry acted
the law outdid him.
II God is all the Canadian Judge
claimed in charging the jury, He
needs no defense at a human bar
of justice.
Law is law, however, and If PEG.
pie don't want it enforced, they re.
peal it.
Sterry was clearly guilty under an
ancient statute.
The fact that the statute was an.
cient means nothing, since 1t is still
on the books.
Law does not die Of old age. If
we could only get that idea into our
heads, we would have accomplished
something of real value.
A law can be forgotten or disre-
garded, but it does not become in
operative until repealed.
The jury had no choice in Sterry's
cause but to convict him.
