LIVING BY BREAD ALONE

In the state of Connecticut there is peaceful little
village that has been browsing beneath the shade OF
its great elm trees since before the Revolution.
Main street swept down gentle hill in wide, lazy
curve. Giant clms thanked the length of it, Behind
them were the colonial houses trim in white capboards
and green shutters, looking very much as they looked
when Washington's army marched through There
were no street cars, BUSES, factories and no
noises. The town was simple, concentrated peace.
But last summer the state began highway improve
mcnt program. The road that curved through the
village had to be widencd and Strengthened. Down
came the magnificent elms. The wide lawns were
chopped off ruthessly Now broad, straight belt of
concrete runs through the town. The trees are gone
The old houses have lost their dignity Huge conveys
OF trucks rumble through at all hours The peace and
quiet of colonial days have gone.
All of this, doubt comes under the general head

Progress, of course, is national watchword No
where earth is there such fear of being behind
the times as in this country. If choppng down an

IN NEW YORK

New York, Nov. 2.-More than Z
few years ago, a struggling enter
tainer was making his living in q
good old-fashioned honkey-tonk.
A good old-fashioned honky-tonk
generally had plenty Of saw dust on
the floor and among other things,
served beer by the glass, flagon or
barrel.
Now this struggling entertainer
appeared in cowboy attire and could
do a lot Of clever tricks with the
rope. Now and then he would make
wry remarks about this and that.
Generally speaking, however, his act
was silent" He got about SIS a
week, or something like that.
Oh yes, his name was Will Rogers.
Well, one night visitor came into
the honky-tonk, as visitors will.
This particular visitor was member
of a musical comedy team which was
getting away to an effective start.
The visitor watched the struggling
entertainer for time and then
walked over to him and said: "Say,
could you teach me some Of those
rope tricks. Your stuff is great"
The two men fell to talking about
performing and about novelties that
help an act get over. The visitor
came back many times and the strug-
Cling entertainer picked up some
rope tricks and, by way of return,
passed on q few tricks Of his own.
The visitor was Fred Stone.
That was the beginning Of long
friendship.
And that, by the way, is the in
side story Of why Will Rogers tossed
over his Hollywood contracts and his
personal affairs to hop to New York

PROFESSOR. TAKE HOPE

The teacher in the American college or university,
proverbaly underpad, take hope. In the notdis-
tant future his salary will be doubled and education
will be supported on scale lavish than anything
yet dreamed of.
This is the prediction of Edward A. Filene, Boston
merchant, in an address at the convocation Of the
University Of the State Of New York.
American prosperity, says Mr.. Fiene, is largely
due to education It needs nothing in the world so
much trained brains The business world is discov-
ering chat best get these from the colleges and
universities. As result increased budgets for educa-
ton expenses will be met cheerfully and promptly.
That i Mr. Fiene's view. 1t sounds reasonable
Commerce and industry more to the realm of high
sr education than they realize.

THE EGGPLANT

0G 0OU1 LAM
The eggplant was originally cul-
tivated in the East Indies where it is
highly priced for its egg-shaped
white and purple fruits, which are
served as 4 vegetable. It is steadily
gaining in popularity in North
America, but being tropical plant,
is grown principally in the warmer
climates and transported north. In
Europe the white eggplants are
more favored, but in North America
the purple variety has become the
most popular.
Many people think that this veg
etable does not agree with them, but
l believe this is only because the
eggplant is usually fried. When
cooked in grease, eggplant is not
only indigestible, but is actually less
palatable than when prepared in
other, simpler ways.
The eggplant does not resemble
the hens egg in food value, but is
rich in organic salts and has enough
cellulose to be valuable to the in
testines. The eggplant is especially
rich in potassium, and also contains
many Of the other mineral elements.
Here are q few recipes for eggplant
which you may find interesting
Eggplant and Carrot
One large eggplant peeled and
chopped, one bunch of carrots well
washed but not peeled, and run to-
gether through the meat chopper.
Place in q baking dish and add one
half cupful Of water. Compress we'll
and bake for 40 minutes. Add three
tablespoonfuls of butter to the top
just before serving, and season with
salt as desired.
Corn and Eggplant

add one small eggplant which has
been chopped into small pieces.

BEATING THE TRAIN

Despite the columns and columns of warning stories
and editorials that have appeared motorists still
will try to beat railroad train to grade crossing
Michigan driver was approaching crossing the
other day. slow-moving freight train was in sight,
and the crossing alarm bell was rngng but the man
felt he could easily get before the train arrived
He stepped on it.
But the freight train concealed fast-moving pas

reached the crossing just the automobile did, The

How long it will be before the last driver is educated

try to slip grade crossing when an approaching
