partner with information as follows:
/. When holding minimum nor

if it is better than an original bid.
2. When holding @ x in trumps,
bid (a) other major if as good as

Modern Symbols Of Peace

The scriptural prophet Of old sang OF day when
men would beat their swords into plowshares Some
thing rather like that in modern way has just been
happening in the United States.
When the World War ended the government had
on hand large stocks of explosive called pyrotol
It had been made for killing Germans the end OF
the war of course made it a useless commodity So
the government began selling it to western farmers
who had cut-over forest lands to clear.
Thus the pyroto that made to kill men was
used for blasting stunps and rocks out OF fields so
that men might raise wheat and corn That Is the
modern version of beating swords into plowshares

Editor Times-The thing that
makes Al Smith the champion Of
the cause of the, common people is
the fact that he is not afraid to
express himself, openly and hon
estly, on any questio n of vital I'M
portance that concer Is the welfare
of the people as he sees it. No pus-
syfooting and indulging in weasel
words" for him.
He stands four square on prin-
ciple and speaks his mind. even
though such an exalted station as
the presidency of the United States
is at stake.
What constitutes honesty and
sincerity of purpose2 To dodge and
skulk and evade? There has been
too much Of this, since prohibition.
Miserable pusSyfooters, drinking
one way and preaching and voting
another, performing mere lip SER
vice in the presence Of the so-called
"anointed" and then going clear
over. bag and baggage, to the op-
posite side on the sly and under
cover, even plaguing the devil with
their duplicity and deception and
hypocrisy.
No hypocrisy and deceit for Gov
ernor Smith. He is the one shin
ing example today Of an honest
man, committed to the truth for
the truths sake, though the heavens
fall.
You know just where to find him.
You know exactly where he stands
and what he represents. You do
not have to guess and fear and
doubt.
He challenges the modern-day
concept of what constitutes politi-
cal expediency and policy by freely
speaking his mind in the face of
the most intolerant opposition this
country has ever seen. Is it any
wonder that a man possessed Of
those faculties and devoted to the
principles of justice and truth, as
he sees them, has strength and
power and character?
In this he more than typif1es that
which the whole world loves in
revering the memory Of the immor-
tai Lincoln-the courage to stand
for the truth as he sees it, regard
less of the consequences, and to
let the chips fall where they may.
This is what enE obles and char
acterizes Alfred E. Smith and en-
dears him to his fellow man. Would

It's Not only Food But HO70 It's Cooked

What applies to cabbage applies
equally well to brussels sprouts and
other foods of the cabbage family.
Overlooking results in disintegra-
ton and destruction Of many Of the
valuable qualities.
Correct cooking by dropping into
a large amount of rapidly boiling
water and cooking only to the point
of tenderness results in food Of
beautiful appearance and excellent
taste. A special section of the book
deals with the methods of preserv-
ing the color of the other vegetables.
The nurse who primarily is con-
cerned with presenting food to the
patient so that the appetizing ap-
pearanca and taste will be indicated
especially will appreciate the wide
dissemination of the knowledge that
this book contains.
In general, green vegetables can
not be cooked in a steamer or
pressure cooker without loss of
color. The exception is spinach.
The Indianapolis times., 1928-07-06
Enforcing Prohibition

Announcement that the civil service COM
mission will get some easier tests for those who
aspire to jobs as prohibition agents is just an
other Indication of the whole CHASTITY farce
which has been made of this law.
The blame for the failure to enforce was
believed by very many to be due to the fact
that the prohibition agents received their posi-
tions from Senators and formed a part of the
political machine.
It will be remembered that the Indiana
statesman, Senator Watson declared on the
floor of the Senate that you could not separate
politics and prohibition.
AS result the last Congress enacted
law placing the department under civil service.
Theoretically man must now show some
qualification for the job, other than servility
to Senator. Theoretically, also, any man
who was unfit and placed there by Senator is
to be replaced by some one qualified for the job.
Examinations were held with the result that
a large number of those who were given these
Jobs as reward for political services failed to
pass the tests.
These agents who failed, for the most part,
still hold their jobs. One of these agents IN
this State hangs to his job. He was quite lm'
portant in the last primary campaign. He
took two weeks vacation from detecting vlo'
lators to pal around and line up votes for
Watson and Robinson. Just where he palled
the most can be readily understood and in fact
is known.
It is a matter Of record also that the head
of the prohibition forces in this State is among
those who did not pass the tests. 1t IS also
matter of record that there is an outstanding
citizen of the State with very fine record OF
official duty as chief of police in northern
city, who did pass. It is matter Of common
knowledge that many agents, especially those
who did not pass, are spending considerable
time TO bring pressure against any change.
Now it is announced that new tests, so
easy that any one can pass, will be given by
the civil service examiners. The frank purpose
is to permit the agents picked by political Sem
ators for political purposes to remain on their
Jobs, protecting the Fright" bootleggers, pun
ishing those who vote wrong and seeing that
the machine is well oiled
Two years ago a newspaper reporter
drawing $40 week. left his work to become a
prohibition agent at the same salary. This
happened in a border city. Today he rides IN
a Pierce-Arrow and has built $4,000 home
When such things happen, an honest effort
to enforce prohibition might seem to demand
that the tests for agents be more strict instead
of so mild that any political pet Of a Senator
can pass.

DAILY HEALTH SERVICE

the University of Chicago Press, un-
der the authorship Of Evelyn G..
Halliday and Isabel T. Noble Of the
home economics department Of the
university, considers the matter of
cooking primarily from the stand
point of successful cooking, and the
general principles governing this art
rather than primarily through the
provision of recipes and formulas.
For instance, the authors point
out that cabbage, which is especially
rich in vitamines, cheap and avail
able most of the year, is usually
ruined in cooking. The raw cab
bage itself has a beautiful color and
slightly biting flavor. For this
reason almost every one enjoys cole
slaw.
However, many cooks boil cab
bage so that the disagreeable odor
penetrates to the farthest corner
of the house, and the food as
served has a brown and unappe-
tizing appearance.

Vice Uses Charity

The riddle of success finds no
better solution at the grave than at
the cradle. If the dreams of youth
rise before us in confused contra
diction, the weeping Of mourners
offers no clearer answer.
John A. Dix, former Governor OF
New York, died not so long ago and
there were pitifully few to bid him
farewell, but frankie Uale, gang
leader, "racketeer" and overload OF
the underworld, draws $4,000 around
his bier.
If gang leaders are going to their
rest in silver-plated coffins and be-
meath a wilderness of flowers, why
bother to teach the advantages OF
a moral aSl upright lifeP
He gave to the poor, they say,
which is just a re petition Of the
Robin Hood legend. Graft and greed
always have found their most plaus-
ible excuse in ostentatious philan-
thropy.
That is why it is so hard to
convict liberal handed millionaires
or make the poor believe that the
thug who gives them coal is not a
thug.
Charity, as the good book says, is
the greatest of all the virtues, but
vice is doubly wise in using it as a
cloak.

TRADE WAR SEEN
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Heavy Competition Expected
During Coming Year-FirmS
Plan Campaign.
BY ]. C. ROYLE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 15.-A new
gage of battle has been flung into the
lists in the automobile industry. Again,
as always, it will be a contest in which
only the strong may survive and the
test will prove just how strong are some
of the vaunted leaders in the industry.
For the moment, production and sales
of automobiles are falling Off. Employ
ment in the great automobile centerS
is dropping at the rate of about 4,500
workers a week, but this Is only the
lull before the storm which may be
expected to follow the automobile shows
in January Preparations for the strug-
gle are being made today in the form
of price reductions on some of the
older style models, which it is desirable
to move now
The two great leaders in the industry
will lock horns in desperate struggle.
This battle was expected to materialize
this year. But the delays experienced
by the second largest producer post
poned it. Now production by that pro-
ducer is at its height Materials which
were delayed earlier are arriving on
schedule, production is at its peak and
high executives of the company con-
fidently believe in their ability to swamp
the market If it seems desirable to do
so in 1929.
Their attacks will find their rivals
strongly entrenched, and with all the
prestige and morale which tremen-
dously successful year can give them.
The smaller units of the industry,
operating on their own. will have to
put forth their utmost efforts and utilize
the greatest ingenuity to keep their
salients from being flattened out.
Financial ammunition and supplies
are not lacking by any of the main
factors, but alliances of the smaller
groups may be anticipated when the
real "putsch" starts. The industry is

lust concluding the best year in the
history of the trade. Twenty repre-
sentative concerns will show an advance
in profits approximating 20 per cent,
as compared with the results OF 1871;
Possibly 4,700,000 cars ana trucks VIII
be turned out in 1928.
The division of the largest producer
which comes into most direct conflict
with the product of the second largest
manufacturer so far has shown 9 gain
of 81 per cent, as compared with the
corresponding period of 1927. In the
medium priced field, one Independent
has shown q gain of $50 per cent. The
units turned out by the former nave
totaled 100000 or more. as compared
with 498, 900 for its principal competitor
Few expect this ratio to be maintained
in 1929. Another of the lower priced
producers has shown a gain OF 69 per
cent. ..-
The replacement demand in this
country is fairly stable quantity
Each manufacturer will have an OPP
portunity to capture fair portion OF
this business. The demand for new
cars must depend on many factors:
chief among which are the industrial
and commercial prosperity OF the coun-
try. the financial return to agrlcul-
turists. and the development OF more
good roads. l..
It is the foreign field, however. to
which many of the domestic producers
are looking in their plans for an In
crease in business.

NEW YORK, November l5.-Spec-
tacular movements again occurred in
the prominent industrialS on the
Curb Exchange today Although there
were intervals when activity was not as
pronounced as it had been recently, the
speculative public displayed little con-
Germ over the prospect Of sharp
technical reaction, which the more
conservative element thought was war
ranted.
One Of the most sensational per-
formers was Rainbow Luminous. There
was nothing aside from its technical
market position to account for the
opening break of ii points on a sale
involving 1000 shares. The price had
been bid up from the low for the year
of 90 to yesterdays high of 1884 and
left of at 20. After the opening sale
today the price rallied back over prac-
tically al the ground lost.
Hazletine Corporation was another
star performer, selling sharply up to a
new high for the year. The rise from
the previous final of 80 to 43 followed
announcement of the Federal court de-
cision in favor of the company against
