IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 16.-Brief flashes
Of those incredible extravagances
INDUCED in by few of the moneyed
New Workers frequently are re-
vealed to the eyes Of the bewildered
man on the street.
To me these breath-taking peeps
at extreme profligacy always seem
unreal.
There is. for instance, in a current
issue Of The New Yorker an ad-
vertisement Of string Of pearls,
priced at 5000. To be sure, the
jeweler comments that this neck
lace is the climax in the many
achievements Of the firm. It ought
to be. And my own purse might al
low, at that price, a microscopic
fragment OF single pearl.
And in Town and Country / have
discovered an ad Of the Cunard Line,
the quoting Of which will not dis
please my friend Mons. Mcintyre
Of that concern.
Grouse by airplane from the
!
first ships going out"
Now | ask you. To feed the un-
tired American tourist, an airplane
now flies TO meet the boat and drops
a few brace OF grouse aboard. What
a world!
On the other hand, small town
scenes are not az uncommon in Man
haitian as one might think.
It's all very well to draw funny
pictures of Farmer Brown trying
to get his cows off a motor-infested
road. Yet, within single day,
watched a street car pull horse
team out of rut on West oath
street and beheld a fey thousand
people watching a wagon being
dragged from the mud at 42nd and
Broadway.
To be sure, these are not every.
day events. 1t is not every day in
a week that you'll find mud at 42nd
and Broadway, for instance. It just
happened that the street had been
under repair and left a miniature
quagmire where concrete pavements
had once been.
And now the old Broadway the.
alter gives up the ghost to make
way for $10,000,000 steel giant.

WHY THE SOUTH VOTED
(New York Times


The campaign ended with good deal Of unexcepton-
able talk by the Republicans, Mr. Hoover included,
about the desirabty of there being end to political
sectionasm. With their eyes fixed hopefully on the
Southern states, the Republican spokesman dwelt
the advantage Of making party lines longitudinal in this
country and not having them swung parallel forever
with that one known Mason and Dixon's. The net
of these appeals it hoped electoral votes from
the South for Mr. Hoover.
Now that it that the South has helped to swell
the Republican tide of victory. the change has not
come about for the outlined, and all the party
orators know it. The breaking away Of Southern states
from their Democratic mornings will not be- as has
been said, the beginning Of political in Amer
lea, where there will be two parties of equal respect
ability in every State in the Union. Those of the
States that formed the Confederacy which voted for
Mr.. Hoover grounds which will do the
country harm not good The votes were not given to
the Republicans their candidates. They votes
against Governor Smith. Most of them cast
against the Democratic candidate because he is Cath
oc; the rest were because he is antprohibonist.
As the returns come in, and the Southern returns
will come in slowly, it will be to what extent the
Republicans have profted by the appeals to bgotry
and fanatcism in the South. But the extent to which
they profit if any, will retard and not advance the
American political structure, because they
lively cast votes, based largely harmful super
stition.

METHODS OF COOKING
(C0ncludedl

Fish can be prepared by the
same processes which l have de-
scribed in preparing meat. The
salt should not be added until after
the cooking has been complete. AS
a rule, fish can be cooked in less
time than meat. Fried fish is the
hardest to digest; fish cooked in the
skin is most easily digested.
Steaming is one of the most val
liable methods of cooking that can
be employed in cooking vegetables,
for it maintains their full flavor.
Vegetables With large amounts of
cellulose and starch are more d.
gestible after 5eing cooked. This is
particularly true of roots and tu-
bers.
As a general rule, all vegetables
that are boiled or stewed should be
cooked rapidly with very little water.
Any juices which are left around the
vegetables after cooking has been
completed should be either boiled
into the vegetables or used as the
basis of some soups and not thrown
away, because these juices contain
valuable mineral elements which
have been absorbed from the vege-
tables.
Most housewives are familiar with
the fact that spinach and similar
greens can be cooked in any ordi-
nary covered pot without the addi-
ton of water, but many do not know
that all foods except grains may be
cooked without water over a slow
fire in a pot with a -closely fitting
lid. The heavy aluminium cooking
vessels are the most satisfactory for
this purpose, because they distrib-
ute the heat evenly, and tend to pre-
vent scorching. This method cooks
foods at comparatively low tenn
perature and preserves all Of the
flavor and juices as we'll as the vita
Minis and mineral elements which
would be partly destroyed by pro-
longed intensive heat. The bottom
of these aluminium cooking vessels
may be as much as one fourth of an
inch thick, and in this way convey
the heat more evenly than when
thin-bottomed vessels are used.

Washington, Nov. 16.-The pres
ent disablement Of the Democratic
party may be expected to point
more clearly than ever to the pro-
gressive group in the Senate as the
really active opposition in national
politics.
Especially it seems bound to
single out Senator George w. Nor
ris Of Nebraska as the overtowering
leader" Of the opposition, even
though it may often appear that he
has little to lead. Once there was
much talk of the effect that the
Democrats were dependent on the
progressive bloc whenever they
sought to block an administration
measure.
For while it probably will be
gressives, who provide so much Of
the leadership. are dependent for
support on Democratic senators, who
vote against the Republicans in most
cases from mere force of habit.
Insofar as Congress is concerned
the conservative Republicans are
stronger, the conservative Demo-
Gratis have been reduced in number
and the progressive bloc, represented
in both parties, has held its own.
Norris. that incorrigible insur-
gent, isn't likely to be punished fol
his waywardness in campaigning al
the end for Smith. There isn't any
particular chance of taking his Ju.

away from him at the Forthcoming
session because Democrats and
progressive Republicans would join
to prevent it.
In another year, by the time the
Seventy-first Congress meets, mem.
bers of the Old Guard who would
now like the Norris scalp are likely
to be little less enthusiastic about
Furnishing the Nebraskan.. They re.
member what happened after they
punished the insurgents of the 1924
campaign; the Democrats came sc
close to controlling the Senate after
the 1926 election that it was neces.
sary to coax the insurgents back
into good standing in order to have
even titular party majority in The
upper house. The thing might ap.
pen over again.

Forty years is long time in the

1t was, the old-timers tell me, on
the night Of March 3, 1883, that the
curtain went up on the old Broad
way, with Fanny Davenport play
ing in Sardou's "Tosca." Sardou was
the highbrow of the moment, yet
the crowd couldn't be pulled up
town.
In sort Of desperation the back
ers called upon Lillian Russell,
mightiest drawing card of her day.
But the box office didn't cash in the

The question of whether any,
thing should be done about Norris
and Blaine of Wisconsin, who also
supported Smith, will be up to Presi-
dent Hoover.
According to some of those who
know Norris best, developments Of
the recent campaign have made it
reasonably certain that he will run
for reelection in 1890.
A herd of wild horses had to be
corralled to get Norris to run again
in 1924 and it is understood that
he has figured this term as his last.
But his declaration for Smith was
followed by the Anti-Saloon
Leagues threat to drive him out of
politics in Nebraska, despite his dry
record.
His friends now say that Norris
never ran from fight in his. life
and that, on the contrary, Norris al
ways runs toward fights as fast as
he knows how; they assert confident

re-enter the fray again in 1880 to

Saloon League rates highest with
the voters of his state.
It may be recalled, however, that
Norris has expressed the idea that
he would like to be governor Of Ne
braska in order to carry out his
ideas of what q modern, progressive
state government should be. Thus
there is some possibility that the old
warrior may decide to challenge the
league in fight for the governor
ship.
Once more come deep mutterings
and weighty head-wagging over the
possibility of a realignment of par
ties; the creation of a new liberal
or progressive party which will su-
persede the Democratic party as a
opposition to conservative Republi-
canism. Such a lineup is bound to
come eventually, but there is not a
chance in the world of it within the
nexS four years. Any attempt to
make the Democratic party a
straight-out progressive party, en-
gineered from within or without,
is doomed insofar as concerns the
near future.

wet ticket in the field, depending on
what happens in the meantime. But

AL SMITHS INFLUENCE

Alfred F. Smith took about as bad beating as any
major party candidate for the presidency could we'll
lake. In all human probability his crushing defeat
him permanently from further political con-
liberation.
That being the case, we might as we'll take the time
now to look at two things which this man, overwhem-
ingly beaten, did for us.
First and forcmost-hc gave Herbert Hoover for
president
That may seem a strong statement. But let your
mind back the pre-convention days of last May
and June and sec if you don't agree.
Herbert Hoover was by all odds, the strongest man
his party could have presented. Indeed, his very
strength hampered him in the fight for the nomination
The political bigwgs shuddered at the thought
Of nominating him. They would vastly have preferred
to complasant secondraer. To the very last
they held out against him, hoping against hope that
they could slip who would be more docle
in the White Housea who in the political phrase,
would "play ball." man who could be counted on to
stay htched and have dangerous ideas of his own.
But the shadow of AL Smith fell their path.
They knew Smith would be nominated by the Demo-
Gratis; and they knew that secondrater could hope
to beat him. Much they dsliked it, they forced
to name their abest man. To Al Smith must 60 the
credit for forcing Hoovers nomination.
Nor is that all this defeated candidate did.
For years have been worried about the compar-
alive lightness Of the vote in presidential elections.
decades has such large percentage Of the electorate
gone to the polls. And the responsible, again is
Al Smith,
Quite book could be written the way in which
our defeated candidates have influenced us.
William Jennings Bryan three times defeated
for the presidency. But he lived to most Of the
pioneer measures he championed become laws. The
direct election of senator's direct primaries prohibition

if actual victory was his.

We owe to the man we rejected-Al Smith,
