against Smith on the ground Of his
wet proclivities. He especially notes
the antagonistic attitude of the women
of the South on that score.
Some political observers, not parti-
san in their dispositions. are inclined
to think that perhaps the Smith boom
has been premature. 1t will be near
ly a year before the process of elect
cratic convention Is started, The
time and place of holding that con-
vention will not be determined until
next December, nearly nine months
hence. A vast amount Of water is
going to flow through political chan
nels meanwhile. If he is a candidate
for the nomination, which the gov
ernor himself does not concede, he
will in the course of the next year
and a quarter have to conduct a de-
fensive campaign rather than an ag-
gressive one. He is open to attack on
two flanks. and those who are opposed
to his nomination are assailirg him on
both. Seldom, if ever. has Il conspic-
uous presidential possibility in this
country occupied such a peculiar posi-
ton.
But despite this hampering situa-
tion. it is unquestionable that Gov.
Smith is today easily the most dis
eussed and advocated Of all the Demo
cratic presidential possibilities. He is
getting more publicity as a potential
candidate than all the others put to-
Cether. This very fact that he is out
standing as the chief contender, if
contender he be. for the nomination
is calculated, however, to develop a
large number Of dark horses.

Birds.


1t is Springtime when the flowers
Bring their beauty to the trees,
And the soft and gentle showers
Scatter rainbows to the breeze.
But the light poetic fancy
Tunes it's measures, truly gay,
To the vernal necromancy
When the hens begin to lay.
Both the robin and the bluebird
Have a message that we prize,
And there's many a jaunty new bird
That comes swimming through the
skies;
We must prize them very dearly
In glad poetic way
Yet we're happy most sincerely
When the hens begin to lay.

TASTE TEST BEST

Tongue Precise Instrument in

Washington.-The human tongue Is

Is usually credited with being, at least
so far as the great American dish.
ice cream, Is concerned Recent ex-
periments made by the United States
Department Of Agriculture Indicate
a rather close correspondence between
the taste test" of large number OF
persons and the more precise deter
limitations of quality made by instru-
mental means.
The first test involved three Ice
creams of varying butterfat content.
These. containing IS, Is and II per
cent, were fed to fifty dairy pur-
chasers for period of ten days. In
each instance freezing and hardening
conditions were alike, the consumer
changing his choice at will. The re-
suit was that 80 per cent of the sam
piers favored the ice cream of IL per
cent butterfat content.
The second test proposed to show
whether or not sugar strongly at
fects the palatability of ice cream. An
experiment was made with mixes con-
tanning 10, 16 and 10 per cent of cane
sugar. About 80 per cent of the con-
sumers preferred the 16 per cent COM
position.
The third experiment tested the eff
feet of nonfat milk solids on the pal
atability Of ice cream. For period
of six weeks three mixes of II, y and
6 per cent nonfat milk solids were
sold. More than 80 per cent of the
1,1S5 sales showed a preference for Il
8 per cent nonfat milk solid rather
than the commercial ice cream with
but per cent.
A debated point among Ice cream
magnates concerns the popularity Of
ice cream containing gelatin. For
years It was used as a stabllizer, that
is, to prevent the ready formation OF
ice crystals. Nowadays iceless refrig-
GRAFTON eliminates that possibility, so
many manufacturers do without gel
attn altogether.
Yet some persons prefer the smooth
taste gelatin gives to ice cream. In
deed, experiment 4 showed that some
63 per cent of 1914 purchasers pre-
ferred Ice cream with per cent gela-
tin. Twenty-three per cent wanted ice
cream entirely without it and the
others insisted on content of O.5 per
cent,
