Where Opportunity Beckons

Some people are forever complaining that
none of the big or little opportunities come
their way. They hear of neighbor who got
real bargain in used automobile and Won
der why his chance had not been theirs. And
when neighbor shows them bit of furni-
ture or other household article he had picked
up for a fraction of it's real worth they
again wonder why others are favored over
them. Thus they carry on their lamentations
and self-sympathy throughout the whole cata-
log Of human wants and possessions.
Paradoxical though it seems, these men and
women who covet the opportunities offered to
and grasped by others could find the secret OF
the other fellows good fortune in the news
paper read by them BOTH That secret is the
classified advertising columns. 1t is there
that the golden opportunities are offered and
found. The want ad" page is the mecca for
those who have golden opportunities to offer
and for those who wisely hunt their ''acres of
diamonds" at home.
If the store with it's show windows, glass
cases, counters and open doors cannot do bust
ness without newspaper advertisements, how
can the seller and the buyer of the used article
expect to do business" without advertising
The want ad" or classified advertisement is
the show window and counter for the private
citizen who has something to sell or wants to
buy something the other citizen has.

Germany's Big Question Mark

Over here we don't care much whom the
president names as his secretary of war, SO
long as he is an honorable man. We don't
anxiously question whether he is friend or
q foe of the republic. We don't ask whether
he will make the army lance to pierce the
country or buckle to shield it. We just know
he will be all right.
But things have not yet come to that happy
issue in Germany. Hence all the Germans are
greatly excited over the fact that Lieutenant
General Wilhelm Groener, a professional SOL
der, has been made minister of defense, large
" due to the Intervention and pressure OF
President Hindenburg.
Otto Gessler the man Groener succeeds, was
nominally a member Of the German Demo-
cratic party, but he has been held by all
friends of the republic to have lent himself to
every move calculated to perpetuate the caste
system in the Reichswehr and to make it
amenable to monarchist plots. So they are
hoping great things of Groener, even though
he be soldier.
For it was Groener who told the ex-kaiser
some plain truths. It was he who helped lead
the German army back to the Fatherland after
the armistice. It was he who opposed the
Knapp "putsch" whose object was to overturn
the republic. If Groener makes the Reichs-
wehr truly republican army, he will deal a
death blow to all the hopes of the monarchist
crew.

Offering the WOrkmen a Bride

1t has not been infrequent in this country
to see political party appealing to the Amer
lean workman with the slogan that to elect it's
candidate for president means the full dinner
pail. And that is quite an understandable
slogan. The full dinner pail means the full
fed man. It means the fulfilled family. 1t
means decent wages, which, in turn, mean de-
cent housing, decent pleasures
But the other day British paper said the
Tory party was getting ready to hold ma
tional election, and in preparation therefor, it
was going to do its best to take some of the
heavy taxation off of beer. SO that the noble
British workman could get his drink from two
to four cents cheaper.
We can understand the full dinner pail
There is something appealing about that. But
the cheap drink of beer sounds mighty like 2
bride. 1t is rather a contemptuous estimate
of the intelligence and the independence of the
voter.

All these years, we have overlooked an out
standing reason why the steering wheel is set
on the left side of the automobile.
It's to permit thoughtless drivers to back
out of their seats into the middle of the street.
On second thought, however, we believe
that's sort of dangerous Another automobile
may be passing close by. close enough to clip
off an important part of the exiting driver
anatomy.
Yet, on third thought we feel such calam-
ity could only be averted if there were no doors
at the left of the automobile at all. Perhaps
for the safety of their customers, the manu-
facturers might consider this asd put only two
doors on their sedans-both at the right side.
Of course, for thoughtful and careful motor
lists, doors on the left side of the car provide
an additional factor of safety and convenience.
They use those doors only when they have to-,
for the left doors should be considered only AS
emergency exits.
But they're not used as such in many cases.
Therefore they remain a terror to approaching
motorists.
The drivers who use these doors thought
lessly night also be considered, for the sake
Of their families perhaps.

Editorial Comment
Safety Belts in Flying
New York Times)


As more travellers are taking to the air with
growing confidence in planes in the hands Of
experienced pilots, safety first" should be
urged upon them, and they Should see for
themselves that no precaution for their secur-
ity is overlooked Colonel Lindbergh is SO
sure of himself that on some Of his flights he
dispenses with the parachute. Passengers
should not follow his example. AS rule, pi-
lots insist upon adjustment of the parachute
in the case of their passengers. But there is
one appliance too often neglected That is the
safety belt. Aviation in it's last issue sounds
a warning.
In about four weeks three persons have lost
their lives because they did not wear the at
tachment. When bumps are struck OH the
ground in landing a pilot or passenger may be
thrown out of the plane if the belt has not
been fastened. In one accident recently both
pilot and passenger were projected from their
seats while in the air, for dumps" do not al
ways occur on the ground. Singularly, in this
case, the plane went on, and without guidance
made landing with little damage. Even on
smooth day." says Aviation, lit is perfectly
possible for the pilot, if he becomes careless or
makes an error, to use the controls in such a
violet way as to throw the passenger out 1t
considers such accidents to be ''entirely mex
cusable and the result of gross negligence and
carelessness." Therefore it urges that every
open cockpit plane should be equipped with
safety belts, with somebody on the field to see
that they are properly fastened.

The Riviera Losing It's Lure
Lloyd Morris in Harper's Magazir

LlOyd Morris IN Harper'S MagaZlne)
With the exception of Cannes, which retains
it's prestige, the Riviera during it's official win
ter season has been abandoned by fashion and
renquished by the tourist. The hotels pros
per. They are patronized by Germans, Austri-
ans, Scandinavians; by South American gam
blers and Levantine merchants; by English
spinsters who initiate the pompadour of Queen
Alexandra and the hats Of Queen Mary. In
every hotel one meets them; they gamble at
the 10-franc table Of all the casinos; they COM
plain bitterly of the food and, justifiably, of
the climate.
There are four hours every day during
which the sun shines warmly. In mid-after-
noon a cutting wind blows down from the
snow-covered Alps, mist rises from the sea-
and influenza stalks abroad. The hotels are
built under the illusion that the climate is
tropical, so at night one shivers in plushy
salon, and at 10 o'clock the valet and chamber
maid parade past with clusters of hot water
bottles, each one neatly labeled with name
and number. Consider the embarrassment Of
an English spinster who discovered in her bed
a hot water bottle not her own! The labels
guarantee the preservation of Anglo-Saxon
morals in an environment foreign and presum-
ably corrupt
The majority of the patrons Of the casinos
gamble as a defense against boredom. So uni
versal is this defense that the English church
Of Monte Carlo is said never to use hymn
with q number lower than thirty-six, lest the
congregation hastily arise to play it at the ta-
bles.
The municipalities Of the Riviera are equally
sagacious, and permit very few attractions
which might compete with the tables. Bore.
dom drives the visitor to the tables, but Gu
pidity keeps him there. Always before him
is the hope that, if he persists long enough, he
will eventually make something for nothing.

HOW TO USE CHEESE

In Europe, Asia, and even in
South America. cheese is eaten very
largely in place of meat, while in
America it is used somewhat as
condiment, being used for forming
dishes or eaten in small quantities
with crackers or bread near the end
Of a meal. Various cooked cheese
dishes are served At after-the-
theater suppers.
It is such q well.known fact that
these cooked cheese dishes produce
nightmares that one of our first
weekly comic pictures published in
America was about the adventures
met with in "Rarebit Dreams" It
is unquestionably true that cooked
cheese does not digest rs readily as
that which is not cooked, but part
Of the trouble is caused by the i'm.
properly cooked toast and other
starchy foods which are used at
these late supper meals. The diner
has perhaps eaten . hearty dinner
three or four hours before, and the
stomach is still laboring with the
evening meal.
Many people who have had un-
pleasant experience with these cook
ed cheese meals get to believing
that cheese is bad for them and
that it is an unhealthful food.
Cheese makes an excellent SUBJ
stitute for meat, but should not be
used in addition to meat. It is best
to use plenty of leafy green vege-
tables with the cheese, and not use
any other protein or any kind Of
highly starchy food 1T the same
time.
The making Of cheese in Europe
must be considered IN art, and re-
quires great skill in order to pro-
duce and repeat certain required
flavor. In America cheese making
has developed into q science, and
there is little of domestic art about
it. We now produce more cheese
than any other country, but there is
doubtless something lost which is
found in the virtually homemade
cheeses Of the Old World. Those
who can afford to buy 50 much of
the imported cheese, and continue
using = certain kind that has GER
tain peculiar flavor they like, will
find that the cheese made in Amer
lea is equally IS wholesome and
cheaper in price.
The Cheddar cheese, named after
the village Of Cheddar, England, is
much like our American York State
or Canadian cheeee. It is made
from sweet milk, but the milk may
be either whole, partly skinned, or
skinned. and the cheeses may b
white or colored yellow, and mar
keted either fresh or thoroughly
ripened. The Camembert is . soft,
rich cheese, which originated in
Normandy, !ut is now also made in
America. Cottage cheese, Or
"Smearcase," as it is called in Ger
many, is . sour, skim-milk cheese
which is usually eaten quite fresh.
but may be packed away in tubs to
prevent further ripening. An excel
lent cheese may be made 1T home
as follows: Allow whole milk to
stand in the icebox for about ten
days. Pour both curd and whey

from the movies or wherever you
spent the evening. Your promise
was enough, Marye, because ]

Our War With the Air

1t is rather hard to contemplate with equa-
nimity the continuance of the airplane TRACE
dies that take from us skilled young pilots.
The death of young Harry Brooks, pilot OF
Fords "flivver plane" is loss to the entire
country. We cannot well afford to lose men
of his type.
Yet no war is won without casualties. Man
kind today is fighting for mastery of the air.
Many splendid young men have died in this
war, and many more doubtless will die before
it is won. But by their deaths these men are
advancing our knowledge, bringing nearer the
day when man will be free to follow the eagle
trail

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

Washington, March 22.-Politi-
clans are interested in politics, and
the people generally seem willing
to let them take care Of it. The
fact that politicians ore thus left in
charge Of the national welfare
means that no vital problems are
to be disposed Of unless large or
ganized groups persuade the politi-
clans that it is politically dangerous
to dodge them. 1t also means that
no man may be nominated and elect
ed president merely because he is
the popular choice.
All this has been especially DEM
onstrated in years divisible by four
and its truth is again evident in
1928. Congress, apparently afraid
to do anything IN the face Of elec-
tions, doesn't. And those who once
believed that the primary system
would result in popular rule must
confess again that the primaries
generally can be controlled by poll
ticians, despite some notable excep-
tons which may justify their exis-
tence.
Take first the pre-convention
Republican campaign. It is the
best example of the prostitution Of
the primary because the Democrats
are more accustomed to factional
discord and because their leading
candidates are in some instances
fighting one another for the same
delegates. The outstanding Repub-
lican candidates are not to be found
fighting each other for primary del
egates in one of the II states which
have the presidential primary.
The largest presidential primary
state is Pennsylvania, with 10000
900 inhabitants and mob Of 70
delegates. Not q single candidate
for nomination filed his petition be-
fore the closing date and Boss Ware
and the Bosses Mellon are sending
an uninstructed delegation to Kan
sas City. The bosses will decide for
the great mass Of Republicans in
this great Republican state just
whom they want to be president.
They told the candidates to keep out
of the primaries ard they kept.
The same thing has happened in
Massachusetts.
In Illinois. only Lowden has en-
tered himself-it's his state. A no.
toriously corrupt Chicago machine
hopes to deprive him Of the dele
gates there by pretending q yearn-

Indy Doesn't Like Statue

Postmaster General Harry New in Washing
ton. On News desk was a bust of Indy. The
young flyer looked at it and shook his head.
Don't like it," he grunted. Makes me look

With all due respect to high school debaters,
Indy has our sympathy. He can reasonably
lay claim to being more or less of a herman.

ing for Coolidge. Pro-Lowden and
anti-Lowden politicians will fight it
out.
The primary certainly has no
warm friend among politicians. but
it's nearest approach to a cham
pion is Hoover in Indiana and Ohio.
It is interesting to note that his
opponents, Senators Willis and Wat
son, are regarded as stalking horses
for Dawes, who is violently against
the direct primary.
But Hoover only entered these
states after it proved impossible to
make political deals. He knew that
in such deals lay his best chance.
Now he is out to get what he can
and to break up the anti-Hoover
game Of stopping him with favorite
son delegates known to oppose him.
In both states, with certain ex-
ceptions in Ohio, Hoover has merely
permitted his name to be used by
political "outs" anxious to beat poll
teal "ins." They needed the pres
tige to be borrowed from Hoover's
name; Hoover needed their influ-
ence. Each rides on the coat-tails
Of the other. But Hoover is the
only candidate to declare himself in
doubtful primary territory and only
the primary gave him a chance in
Ohio and Indiana. As a matter Of
good politics, Lowden refused to
divide the anti-Hoover vote by op-
posing him in Illinois.
Hoover ought to get more than
twic- as many primary delegates
as Lowden.
Voices have been raised in the
past for q national direct primary
system, but politicians have opposed
that and the voters have yet to or
ganize any shirt-tail parades in its
favor.
