WILMINGTON, Del, Aug. %
Residents of the vicinity were
alarmed by a flareup at the city
paving plant. Workmen were mix
ing a paving material in which gas
oline is used, and this liquid took
fire.
A still alarm first was sent in,
followed by one from a nearby box.
Arrival of firemen aroused resi-
dents, and fear the fire would
spread caused many to leave their
homes. The fire was soon extin-

Fed Tn on HOkum

Democrats at Valley City are going into the
primaries next June with a>vengeance. They
intend to rehabilitate their party in this state
and the action is most significant. It means
the end Of political fusion which has never
accomplished anything vital or fundamental.
Fusion with the Republicans has been pie
counter agreement.
"Deliver us so many votes and you get so
much patronage" has been the bargain.
, The Democrats who care for party principles
have become Disguised and the decree of sepa
ration has been written at Valley City.
= It is good for North Dakota politics that
party lines are to be definitely marked in this
state. This decision not to fuse with the
independents may be a step toward putting
the Republican house in order in North Dakota.
The action also means the Democrats are
satiated with the political hokum advanced
every two years in extenuation of fusion which
has accomplished nothing.
/. Now if the little clique of pap hunters will
only quit the red flag wig-wagging. this state
may be able to revamp the Republican party
along constructive lines.

Editorial Comment
Politics and Economics
New York Times)

A French writer, M. Bernard Fay, who knows
the United States WELL has an article in the
Paris Figaro pointing out the special signif-
icance Of Secretary Hoover's candidacy for the
Presidency. He thinks that it marks a new
orientation in American politics. He under.
stands perfectly that Mr.. Hoover is not funda-
mentally and typically politician, according
to American ideas, and that he is not we'll liked
or favored by the political class in general. But
these facts would make the nomination, and
especially the election, of the Secretary of Com
merce all the more significant In M. Fay's
opinion it would demonstrate turning away
from absorption in domestic politics of the old
type, and would indicate willingness of the
American people to place the direction of their
affairs in the hands of "a captain of political
economy" It would mean the only dictator
ship now possible in the United States, name
ly, that of the commercial spirit"
1t is not that Mr.. Hoover is considered abroad
to be without xtrong nationalstic instincts, OF
to be entirely innocent of political motives.
M. Fay does not fail to recall the Secretary's
angry tone in dealing with the British rubber
monopoly. In that particular controversy he
may not have been entirely right as to the facts,
what he believed to be American interests as
against British Europeans who recall that
incident are not at all disposed to think of
Mr.. Hoover as weakling ready to submit too
readily to what he considers foreign discrim-
nation against American industry or COM
perce. captain of political economy might
easily be transformed into leader of hostile
American opinion.

y Those who believe that some persons are still
worth saving from efficiency owe round Of
applause to the chemical engineers who are
opposing the project of an official list of ap-
proved schools of chemical engineering. Their
argument is that it would tend to stifle ndivid-
.ual initiative and to standardize the teaching of
chemical engineering throughout the country.
That is just what efficiency experts think
highly desirable.
!. A generation or two ago, when college degrees
were less common and less easily won, people
spoke of the STAMP of the college," It was a
good simile and it has proved, alas! to be all
too true. The shining, unforged metal Of
youth is poured into the collegiate machinery.
each bit of gold or silver or iron with its own
character and It's pvn hopes, or aims, or fears.
What seems to be coming out is not stream
of tempered tools, each one forged and sharp
enel to suit its own metal and to do its own
work in he world. Instead, there is flow of
stamped tokens. each one labeled with the
same solidified ideas; every one Of them, 50
far as the machinery will permit, exactly like
every other one. The mental product of the
modern college is like 50 many standardized in
fellectuat chiclets.
The increasing mark Of the machine on COL
lege thinking is evident everywhere, but most
dangerously evident in the fields of science and
engineering. Scientists are increasingly per-
furbed over the relatively slight contributions
of America to original research, the country's
enormous expenditure and personnel being
4aken into account What else is responsible
3or this than the sameness Of the college
coinage?

Dull Children

The Federal Department of Education, il,
a recent bulletin, emphasizes anew the i'm
portance of giving every school child periodic
physical examinations.
1t points out that many supposedly 'dull''
blackboard plainly. Many a well-meanine
youngster incurs the wrath of the teacher for
inattention when he really has defective hearing
and can't tell what she says to him.
These are real tragedies for the children in
volved. Every city and village owes it to its
children to see that such things don't happen.

We Sing Of Glamour and the Man
(Minneapolis Tribune)

Somebody has said that if man bites dog
it is news, but that if dog bites a man it is
not news. The person who thus delivered HIM
self was on the trail of definition of news, but
he wound up wide of the mark. That is to say
that the statement left unqualified, is open to
successful challenge.
If any part Of the epidermis of Charles A.
Lindbergh has been broken by the bite of a
dog one year ago today in Little Falls, Mimi,
probably only a few residents of that town
would have heard about the incident, provided,
OF course, there did not follow q serious infec-
ton. The rest of the world would have been
without information about the incident
But what about like incident if it occurred
today? If one newspaper man got hold of the
item it would be quickly broadcast in the press
OF the world, and probably in most instances on
first pages. It most assuredly would be &C.
cepted and treated as news.
How comes this? Here is where the necessity
of qualifying the aforesaid definition of news
OF the man bitten by the dog and on his relation
ship to the reading public. Let a dog ever so
tiny ever SO lightly bite man like President
Coolidge, Governor AL Smith, Secretary Hoover,
or the king Of England; and Il there was an
observer Of what happened, we may be quite
sure that pictures of both the man and the dog
would find their way into the news columns,
together with detailed account Of the circum-
stances Of the little dogs onslaught.
Whether or not it should be 80 regarded, it is
news when or if Colonel Lindbergh throws q
kiss to bevy Of girls, or oversleeps an hour, or
eats pancakes for breakfast. He is 50 much and
50 sharply in the public eye and mind that vir-
tually everything he says or does interests
millions Of persons, and whatsoever current hap
|pening wholesomely interests millions Of per
sons qualities g news. Il was not 30 year
ago today. Then we had Lindbersh, now-we
have Lindbessh plus the glamour and prestige

Kate Adams Comes Back

The ancient side-wheel steamer Kate Adams
whose name has been famous up and down the
Mississippi river for years, is to go into regu-
lar service again this summer on the Ohio riy-
er, between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.
There was great deal Of color and romance
to the old river packet boats, and many people
were sorry to see them fall before more eff
cient transportation methods. Let's hope the
Kate Adams can pay her way. We can stand
a little more color in our economic system.

INExPENSIyE BEEF

Many housewives who are forced
to prepare food for large families.
but whose incomes are limited,
often leave meat out Of the diet two
or three days in the week and SUBJ
stitute some starchy food in Its
place. Potatoes, beans, or macaroni
and cheese should not be con-
sidered meat substitutes, and if
used ut all should be taken at some
meal in the day which will not in
terfere with the meat or protein
meal. Here are some suggestions
for those who wish to use meat once
a day and still keep the cost to the
minimum.
Brisket and rump are the, cheap
est cuts Of beef meat, and may be
prepared in = wholesome manner by
boiling. The meat should be tied
up to preserve It's shape, put into
boiling water, plenty Of vegetables
added, and allowed to simmer gent
" Until done. The present price Of
brisket or rump is twenty or twen-
tv-five cents . pound. M
Round steak may be prepared IN
the same manner by boiling, or may
be hroiled or pan-boiled If properly
hammered to break up the connec-
tive tissue. For pan-broilng the fat
should be removed and the steak
cooked in dry pan. the meat being
turned every second or two so that
it is singed each time but not over
" burned. Round steak may also
be prepared into what Is called a
Salisbury steak. All fat and gristle
are removed from the meat and it
is run through the meat grinder.
This ground beef il then formed
into patties one-half to an inch in
thickness, placed In Z dry pan, and
baked in z hot oven for about five
minutes. I believe this is the most
nutritious and healthful way 20 pre-
pare any kind Of beef meat, no
matter what price you pay for it.
Please observe that round steak,
next to rump and brisket, il the
cheapest beef meat in the market,
most Of the time selling around
thirty cents pound. When round
steak sells ct this price, sirloin
steak is about fifteen cents more
per pound, and with more waste,
both in bone and fat.
Sirloin steak should be cooked by
either broiling under the fire, or BY
pan-broiling. A pcrterhouse steak
is something like The sirloip, but
costs ten cents more per pound.
This is just choice cut because
there are less Of them to the car
cass. When the porterhouse or sir.
loin steak has had the bone removed
it sells for eighty cents :, . pound,
while the filet part il still more
expensive, bringing ninety cents .
pound. These expensive steaks are
all right for those who can afford
to pay the nrice, or for those who
wish to entertain and make an i'm
preston, but - ninety cent fiIet
is in no way, superior in food value
to the thirty cent round steak.
Many Of my patients who can
well afford to pay for the more ex-
pensive cuts Of beef have now
learned to use round steak purely
because they enjoy. It's flaver. .-.-,u

81 Spring Fever Rich Blessing, After All
Along about this time Of year strange and
perniciOus malady fastens itself on many Of our
Jturdiest citizens.
It is brought on by bright spring days, and
Ats major symptom is strong dsinclination
tor any kind of work. In severe cases, this
specifically incapacitates the sufferer for USE
3ulness on his regular job; where the ailment
4s less strong, it renders him reluctant to per-
form such household tasks as carrying out the
FISHES, washing the auto or taking junior for
. ride in his red wagon.
- There are in addition, secondary characteris-
tics which are very distressing. Among these
IS kind of dementia, giving the patient de-
1usions of youth and romance, and followed,
In rare cases, by acute delirium, in which the
1ufferer babbles Of open roads, light O. loves
md far horizons.
Such are the ravages Of spring fever. There
s. no known cure: all that can be done is let
the malady run its course and hope for speedy
1convalescence.
We are all subject to it. Fortunately, our
Aational habit Of industry and efficiency helps
~ ward off serious consequences. Suppose,
some day, that every man and woman in town
should suddenly succumb to spring fever and.
