Gould Credited With
French-Fried Potatoes

Like all others who take delight in
a platter of crisp, hot French fried po-
tatoes, I always supposed this particu-
lar way Of preparing them was origi-
mated by some eminent French chef
In the distant long ago, until along
came one of those fellows who are al
ways digging into history and finding
things to shatter our pet illusions.
According to his version, the French
fried potato originated not in France
but in New York. One day, so the
story goets, Jay Gould dropped into
Delmonico's restaurant in that city
and said: II want potatoes quartered
and fried In deep fat" The desire to
initiate the doings of Gould probably
caused the use Of potatoes fried in
this way to assume the proportions Of
a fad, although, unlike many other
fads, this one survived. For years
these were known simply as quartered
potstoes. Then Delmonico took to
slieing them thinner and called them
by the name under which they are now
known throughout the country.
Whatever may be said of Jay Gould
as financler and railroad builder, all
lovers of French fried potatoes are
under lasting obligations to this force

Gem of Poetic Fancy
Is "Americos Making"

This Interpretation Of the United
States, titled Americas Making" was
written some years ago by Rabbi Abba
Hillel Silver of the Temple, Cleve-
land. 1t has been widely copied and
quoted.
"God built him a continent Of glory
and filled 1t with treasures untold;
HE studied it with sweet flowing
fountains and traced 1t with long
winding streams;
HE carpeted it with soft rolling
prairies and columned it with thun-
dsring mountains;
"He graced it with deep-shadowed
forests and filled them with song,
"Then he called unto a thousand
peoples and summoned the bravest
among them,
"They came from the ends Of the
earth, each bearing a gift and hope,
1.-THE glow Of adventure was In their
eyes, and In their hearts the glory Of
hope,
"And out of the bounty Of earth
and the labor of men;
"out Of the longing Of hearts and
the prayer of souls;
"Out of the memory Of ages and
the hopes of the world,
God fashioned a nation In love,
blessed it with purpose sublime, and
called 1t America"

Early Tax Exemptions

Cows were exempt from taxation
in Ohio under the act of February 3,
1925. That act was the first provision
for general property taxation and
there were many exemptions, certain
kinds of property being regarded as
important in a new settlement. How
ever, the cow exemption covered only
one COW in the name of any one own
er. The exemption was to encourage
every householder to have a COW.
Among other forms of property exempt
ed were factories producing nails,
leather, glass, salt, cotton or wooden
goods, grist and saw mills, paper mills
and distilleries. Whisky seems to
have been looked upon then as an In
dlspensable product. To encourage
purchase of lands in the state by set
tiers, the act provided that such lands
should be free from taxation for FIVE
years after the purchase.-Detroit

Oldtime Home Brepine

Brewing beer was respectable
household task among families along
the Tigrls and Euphrates rivers 5000
years ago. Evidence of this high
antiquity of the craft of brewing and
its place In ancient social systems of
Babylonia and Egypt has been traced
by German scientists of the Society of
History and photography of Brewing
There were laws about drinking In
those days, the report shows. Certain
rations Of beer were allowed to each
class of workers. Beer was also used
in mixing medicines, and as an offer
ing to the gods. Brewing was an or
ganized business as early as 5000 b.

Telephone companies are among
the largest users OF copper in the
world. Most of this copper goes into
wire. 1t is estimated that the Bell
System will use about 100000 miles
of copper wire to meet the require
ments for exchange and toll tele-
phone growth this year. This does
not include the requirements for ap-
paratus.
The largest telephone line wire
used is about one-sixth of an inch in
diameter and the finest magnet wire
is about the size of human hair, but
the system requires large amounts Of
practically all sizes. The problem OF
having so many sizes readily avail
able in adequate amounts for routine
work. as well as for emergencies. has
been greatly simplifed by a rod roll
ing and wire drawing mill for copper,
recently set in operation at the Haw-
thorne plant. The annual output of
the mill is about 100000 pounds
of all sizes Of telephone wire.

Excuse Not All Bad

the excuse habit is entirely without
its good side. 1t evidences at least a
disposition to make matters appear
better than they reallyt are, and this,
In turn, evidences a pride or self-re-
