A great many readers have writ
ten in asking that / write out q
Christmas menu for them as I did
at Thanksgiving. Such letters en-
courage me in the belief that my
readers are taking up the study Of
diet in q serious way. And the fact
that 50 MANY want to know how to
arrange their holiday dinners so as
to be the most healthful is q sure
sign Of the desire of the masses for
increased knowledge on the subject
Of practical dietetics.
never ask my readers or my pa
tlents to do anything I W. uld not be
willing to do, and the menu I am
giving you for Christmas is the enc
we are going to follow at my own
house. The cook has already re-
ceived this menu, and here it Is for
you:
Ripe Olives Sailed Roasted Nuts
Celery
Roasted Turkey or Chicken
Shredded Wheat Dressing
Baked Parsnips Mashed Pumpkin
Pineapple Snow
Shredded Wheat Dressing: For
small turkey, crumble from 10 to
II shredded wheat biscuits into a
bowl and moisten with milk. Add 2
cups Of diced celery, a cup and a
half of minced ripe olives, and Sd
cup of seedless raisins which have
been soaking in a little warm wa
ter. Mix together thoroughly, add
ing a few wlol olives. If.the guam
tity is too much or too little for your
own particular needs, reduc or in
crease the Ingredients in proportion.
This recipe has been worked out and
found to give best results with the
above measurements.
Baked Parsnips: Select small
tender parsnips and scrub with a
vegetable brush, trimming off any
tough, fibrous peel. Cut in halves
lengthwise and place flat side up in
a heavy aluminium baking pan with
q few spoonfuls of hot water. Cover
tightly and bake for ten or fifteen
minutes. then remove cover and al
low to brown slightly. Serve with
butter and chopped parsley.
Mashed Pumpkin: Peel and cut
pumpkin into small pieces and cook
until tender, allowing to ''cook
down" so as to avoid pouring off
any excess liquid. Mash as you would
potatoes, seasoning with q little salt
and the desired amount of cream. If
the canned pumpkin is used, take
care in the cooking down" process
to keep from burning adding the
cream just before serving.
Pineapple Snow: To the we'll beat
en- whites of eggs, whip in a g.
ounce can Of shredded pineapple
from which all juice has been
drained. Into another bowl meas
ure out IA pint Of thick cream.
Whip the cream and fold into the
pineapple and egg white mixture,
adding no other "sweetening." You
will find that the pineapple contains
enough of the natural fruit sugar
without making this .'too sweet"

Faith wanted to run to Nils, to
drag at his arms-anything to pre-
vent the crashing Of one Of those
big fists against Bruce Patton's
twitching, ashen face. But her body
was rigid with numbness. Only her
eyes seemed to have the power to
move, and they darted, sick with
shame, from Cherry's face, on which
delight, triumph and terror fought
for ,ascendancy, to Nils incredibly
broad back, slightly hunched, as he
leaned over his victim. But scarcely
had her eyes fastened on Nils when
she saw the unbelievable happen.
The blond giants fists slowly un-
curled; he raised his hands with
maddening elaboration and thrust
them into his pockets. His shoul-
Gers squared themselves and in an
other moment his laugh rang out, q
strange sound in that tense room,
for the radio music had stopped
and that queer laugh-queer only
because it was hearty and not at all
sinister-was the only sound.
"Why should / hit you, Patton :"
Nils voice scame at last, and Faith
felt that she would have given q
great deal to see his face just then.
I'm afraid you have misunderstood
me. / had no intention Of inter-
fering in q lovers quarrel. I really
came in to say goodnight. Good
night, Mr.. Patton! Goodnight, Miss
Lane" and he bowed first to one
and then to the other Of the dumb
founded pair.
Cherry recovered speech first.
"Don't dare speak to mel" she
shrilled furiously. "You rotten cow
ard! You let him insult me and
then scare you into backing out Of
an honest fight! Oh-you-you!"
Then he smiled down upon Cher
rvs fury imperturably. Sorry!
But you seemed SO well able to
avenge any insult Mr. Patton may
have offered you in trying to kiss
you that it never occurred to me

that my interference would have
been welcome. II I should presume
to criticize your friend, Mr.. Pat.
ton, should say that his error was
one Of taste.
"Oh!" Cherry walled, throwing
up m arm to shield her flaming
face. "Oh, I hate you, hate you'll"
With her arm still shielding her
arm, she turned and fled from the
room. !
"I'm 30 sorry" Faith began in
low voice which was shaken with
nervousness aEi revulsion from the
terror which had gripped her in
those awful seconds during which
Nils had advanced menacinely up-
on Patton. "I1l-I1l get your hat
and coat, Mr.. Patton"
When she returned from the hall
closet with the things she found
Bruce Patton smoothing his hair

smiling, friendly Nils.

Jonson?" Patton stammered. q he
shrugged into his overcoat.
"No, thanks" Nils answered
serenely. I'll phone for = taxi.
Goodnight"
When the door closed upon Pat
ton, Faith dropped to the couch, her
shoulders beginning to shake with
the sobs she could no longer hold
back.
"Do you think I'm . coward, too,
Faith?" Nils asked gently q he sat
down beside her and took her hand.
Il simply couldn't make . fool Of
myself and Of Patton by playing the
heavy, avenging lover IN that little
melodrama she'd written on the
spur Of the minute. But I think /
did make her see Patton IN : new
light. CHASTITY how he crineed,
wasn't it? Poor little Cherry!'
He laughed softly, tenderly.

A Messenger of Amity

Nothing like it ever happened in Mexico
before. Nothing quite like it ever anywhere.
The Lindbergh flight to Paris was and remains
unique But it is still regarded primarily as a
feat of aeronautical science. skill and courage.
For many other reasons, the flight to Mexico
City is the only thing of it's kind.
+ A gringo waited himself out of the after
noon sky above Valbuena Flying Field A
gringo is creature, half bogy and sometimes
more than half real, which Mexicans have
taught themselves to fear and to fight shy OF.
But this time Mexico opened its heart without
reserve and without reservations to gringo.
I Never was such welcome accorded to a
"North American" Ambassadors and personal
tiles have come and gone. Some of them have
been regarded as friends of Mexico; others have
been received with hesitant gestures of cere-
monial amity. Lindbergh took something to
the Mexican government and to the Mexican
people which almost magically awakened en-
thusiasm, admiration and spirit of good will.
There was no room for other feelings.
/ It is seldom given to any people to unite
whole-heartedly in it's enthusiasm. The tr-
umphs of war usually are not unmixed with
bitterness. Great achievements often trail
envy in their wake. The most remarkable fact
about Lindbergh's winged victories is that they
have been so free from any such reactions.
The people of Mexico have for many years
found it impossible to unite in this salutary
lemOtlOnal sweep OF sentiment. Their land has
been wrecked by civil wars. Triumphs were
fractional. They came nearest union of mind
land spirit perhaps in their feeling Of suspicion
and fear of the United States.
II The popular participation by Mexicans in the
welcome to Lindbergh cannot fail to bear spe-
Acial significance. From peon to president, we
are told all are interested all are enthusiastic,
all are sharing in the occasion and making a
Fiesta Of it. And it cannot be without special
Significance that it is an American whom they
are delighting to honor.
It may be said that the Lindbergh flight has
an official and diplomatic purpose behind it.
This is undoubtedly true. Both governments
are anxious for an Improvement in relations be-
tween the two republics. The tension year
ago had reached the breaking point. Mexicans
ire fearful of actual war.
A new policy has been inaugurated It is
fonciliation. Ambassador Morrow has done
much to further it. A new atmosphere has
6een created. The idea of resorting to armed
force has been banished. That much two gov
ernments, working together toward the same
end, could do.
!: Lindbergh carries the good news to all Mex
4cans. He bears a message of good will and
good cheer which all can understand He is a
fymbol IN the sky Of new policy and new
spirit. It would be hard to imagine more
magnificent or more effective gesture. It is
ttatesmanship-b it is craftsmanship at its
best.

Editorial Comment

(Schenectady Cazette)

(Schenecta0y GaZette)
When 5000 composers of verses compete for
$1,000 worth of prizes for poems to memorial
ize Lindbergh's exploit it looks like revival
Of this custom-made inspiration it is easy to
answer the question: "What is the matter with
our literature?"
Incidentally it explains the almost complete
disappearance of the production of the thou
sands of bards and Ministries that infested Ire
land and Scandinavia and other lands in very
olden times.
Not that there is not good proportion of
poetic stuff in this Lindbergh grist but the good
stuff dies while the apologists are explaining
its weak elements.
Take this first prize winner. "A single mo-
tored monoplane slides east of Grand Manan"
sounds good. But as the reader is getting
breathess for the exciting sequel his heels are
struck up by the rhyming of est. Louis" with
Buoy" and he is never mentally the same
again. He relinquishes his intention to clip
the thing for his scrapbook.
If "eaden wings" mean what Nathalia Crane
says they do then wooden head" is an ap-
propriate phrase to describe genius.
The sweet, jingle of "Leaden Wings is for
the most part worthy of the delicate ears of
Edgar Allen Poe. The girl poet has euphony
at times "by the tail' as it were. But her genius
sometimes shows to it's greatest advantage in
making almost any word in the dictionary that
sounds right, do.
Anyway the names of the modern bards of
very good qualifications are legion. Will their
function come back to celebrate the dramas of
human life in the vital revered office they once
held?
We fear that, while the poetical talent re-
mains fitfully with us in vast quantity the
office is dead. Poetry will always have it's
place and there will be poets, excellent ones.
And every man should perhaps work more
poetry into his character.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-Some OF
President Coolidge's friends say that
his definite withdrawal as q pos
sible candidate for denomination is
serving to make him more independ-
ent than ever and free from political
motives. If he were to be drafted
next June and reelected, they add
rather wistfully, the country would
get the most efficient administra-
ton in it's history. He wouldn't lis
ten to anyone after that, they say.
There is, however, one man who
always can make the president do
what he tells him to do. The man
is Major James F. Coupal, Mr.. Cool
idge's own physician, whose orders
and advice the president never dis
regards.
If DR.. Coupal asks the president
to knock off on q busy day and lie
down for the rest of the afternoon,
the president does SO without quib-
bling. Or anything else that the
doctor requests. This Coolidge pol
icy has unquestionably been an i'm
portant factor in keeping the pres
ident fit.
Coupal knows the president bet
ter than anyone else in town
knows how he would look in a bath
ing suit or out on the sidewalk after
an early morning fire. The presi-
dents respect for his orders has
been accompanied by a certain
friendly intimacy such as many of
us have for our physicians and
Coupal is able to josh with the pres
ident az few others could.
Some time ago a story appeared
in Washington newspaper assert
ing that the Coolidge health wasn't
SO good, and that this was why he
wouldn't allow himself to be re-
nominated. Without saying so, the
story inferred that Mr.. Coolidge
might be . tuberculosis victim. The
president, one hears, was mad clear
through and showed it. That story
was absurd and so have many
others been which limited at poor
presidential health, which appears
to be as good as on the day Mr..
Coolidge took over the White House.
Coupal once said he had the arter-
les Of man Of 80.
Several delegations from large
cities came here to persuade the
Republican National Committee to
hold the June national convention

IN NEW YORK

New York, Dec. 2O.-With the
passing of Tammany Hall, Four
teenth street gives up about it's last
ghost.
In those good old days, when pet
ticoats were petticoats and cham.
payne was something other than
cider and shasta water, Fourteenth
street was the pride and joy Of New
York.
Here the carriages let out their
gay loads in front of the cafes and
all about, particularly where Broad
way pokes its nose southwark to-
ward Broadway, the Frohmans and
other celebrities were getting their
start, Forty-second street was out
in the country and the Academy of
Music was the last word in operate
splendor. Names that are now ira
ditions were on the peak Of the
world. Delmonico's screened it's
naughty scenes, if any. and the ex-
pensive jewelry concerns sparkled
their lure on all sides Of "the
square,"
And Tammany Hall, tucked shout
der-to-shoulder against the Academy
of Music, made political history and
surrendered Manhattan to the Dem
ocratic party for considerably more
than the proverbial $25 worth of
wampum, prediscovery whiskey and
beads.
Today there clings to Tammany
Hall, as barnacles cling to an old
ship, the fragrant odor of yester-
days beer barrels. The old place il
haunted by fragrances which some
might not consided fragrant, but
are warp and wool Of a bygone
day unknown to a generation born
to cocktail parties and speakeasies.
Tammany Hall, in those good old
times, dispensed its favors in return
