tradition passed down to the elder in
habitants of Alexandria from their
forebears concerning it.
| Determined to learn its history If hui
manly possible. he began search Of
records which finally proved successful.
| The Alexandria Gazette Is the oldest
daily newspaper in the United States.
Its files prior TO December. 1901. were
| long ago placed III the treasure room"
of the Harvard College library at Cam
! bridge. Mass. The paper in those days
was known as The Columbian Mirror
and Alexandria Gazette" To CAM
| bridge Mr. McGroarty went on his
quest. There he found the lost threads
of his search. He found not only the
early call issued on January IA. 1900.
! for the formation Of the Washington
/ Society OF Alexandria," but he found
! its constitution and he found that a
consecutive history of the society could
be cleaned from the fragmentary items
| regarding 1t which appeared at inter-
walls in the columns of the old Virginia
newspaper. later issues of which are
now preserved in the library of the
American Antiquarian Society at Wor-
CeSter Mass.
McGroarty found. as he had expected
to find. that The Washington Society
Of Alexandria" had been organized by
men who were not only leaders of the
community of Alexandria. but Of the
Nation. men of the highest intellectual
and moral standing. and all personal
friends and intimate associates of
Washington. He found that under their
leadership the society had functioned
for more than 40 years true to its origi-
nal ideals He decided that an organi-
cation with such an honorable history
and such noble aims was worthy OF i'm
mortality. and determined upon seeing
it revived upon lines as nearly like the
original as the changed conditions of
the present era will permit
Following out his determination, he
enlisted the aid OF Mr. Callahan, grand
! master OF MaSons Of Virginia and
issued the call to their fellow citizens
of Alexandria which resulted in the
meeting held at the old Presbyterian
meeting house last night.

Working in the Open

The surprising effectiveness of the Federal Trade
Commissions exposure of the power trust propaganda
machinery has brought variety of explanations.
One is that the commission, irked by being con-
tnualy characterized as over-friendy to big busi-
ness, decided matter of self defense that it was
necessary to do a thorough-going job on The power
inquiry.
Another is that the commissions newly appointed
chief counsel in charge of the investigation has taken
the instructions in the Walsh resolution literally and
done much more thorough job of examination than
even those on the commission anticipated.
Such explanations as these overlook what well may
be the principal for the effectiveness of the
investigation thus far.
This is the instruction, embodied in the Walsh
resolution, that the power inquiry hearings shall be
open to the public, departure from the procedure
followed by the commission in making economic
inquiries
In the past the economic division of the commits
sion has made its inquiries behind closed doors, and
then promptly buried them in voluminous and for
bidding printed reports.
In a report submitted to the Senate year ago, the
commission presented great deal of the information
covered by the recent hearings and much of the story
that will be told when the commission starts its hear
ings on power holding companies.
1t was sensational report, but, prepared in
silence and obscured by mass of dull reading mat
ter, it quickly was lost in the shuttle
If it could have been given to the public in small
doses through the medium of public hearings, valuable
time from the standpoint of the public interest could
have been saved in gaining some understanding of
what has been going on in the power industry.
If the commission, on it's own motion or by direc-
ton from Congress, will make public hearings the
standard practice in its economic inquiries it greatly
will increase its usefulness to the public.

Drama of Life

This is an easy age for men to
retire. It. furnishes enough thrills
to make life interesting even for the
spectator.
In olden times, the show ended
when a man ceased stirring things
up for himself, but that is not true
today.
Human existence has become a
continuous drama. Hardly a mo-
ment passes but what something
novel occurs.
Not only has ingenuity taken
charge of civilization, but modern
means of communication enable us
to keep up with the performance.
If the Chinese celebrate the re-
birth of "Nationalisrn," or if a
transport sinks in Chilean harbor,
we know it within the hour. If an
Arctic expedition is lost, we are not
only informed Immediately, but are
able to follow the rescuers in all the
details of their hazardous work.
For the first time since conscious
ness dawned, we can live with each
other on something like a world
wide basis, and can enjoy not only
the performance, but the benefits of
worldwide effort.

The Tariff Issue

In spite of Secretary Works suggestion that 1t
would make good campaign issue, the tariff is
about to into eclipse as major party difference
That is true if for no other reason than because
the Democrats at Houston parted company with their
traditions of century and abandoned their low tariff
position
If this should mean that the two major par
ties would vie with each other in distributing political
favors in the form of tariff protection, it would be
a real tragedy
Although people long since have become bored
with arguments about it, the tariff is one of the most
vital factors in the welfare Of the common man in
this country, occasionally helping him by safe
guarding him against foreign labor competition, and
frequently haring him through high prices resulting
from exorbtant tariff rates
1t is quite possible, however that the approximate
agreement of the two major party platforms on the
tariff may have very fortunate effect.
1t may discourage stupid political harangues about
the abstract of free trade and protection which
have occupied major party orators for generations and
divert public attention to the tariff protection afforded
to particular commodities and industries.
In the past the tariff debate has been waged in
generalities which only have puzzled the people and
left them blind to the much important consider
alton of just how the tariff works in practical appi
cation.
Democrats the basic principles to be followed in
tariff making brings discussion OF its detailed appli
cation, it will be a real gain

chemical, physical and botanical
that are involved in methods Of
cooking to retain the flavor and
preserve the constituents of vege-
tables.
More and more human beings are
being educated to the special quail
ties of vegetables, such as the vita
Minis and the mineral salts.
AS with color, so also the flavors
of members Of the cabbage family,
including brussels sprouts, cauli-
flower and turnips, are most likely
to be damaged in cooking
These vegetables, along with
onions, are commonly called strong
juiced" vegetables. They contain
sulphur compounds which are la-~7-
ly responsible for the taste.
Cooked under unfavorable con-
ditions, the sulphur compounds are
decomposed with the resultant dis
agreeable taste and smell.
If the vegetables are cooked for
too long a time, particularly in the
presence of little acid, as happens
when vegetables are cooked in small
amounts of water. there is a ten
dency of the sulphur compounds to
break down.
This happens when the vegetables
are allowed to cook in tepid water
and allowed to heat slowly, or when
allowed to cook in pressure cookers.
The way to prevent such decom-
position is to cook the vegetables in
a large amount of water in an I'M

Editor TiInes-The outstanding
genius of the present Governor of
New York as a vote-getter, a po-
litical leader and an executive has
put certain elements Of the Demo-
cratic party in an embarrassing
dilemma. They must support
Smith or put the party out of bust
ness.
The religious issue has no place
in politics. That is, publicly and
professedly. No major party with
any hope of success can afford to
befoul itself by public acknowl-
edgment Of the paternity of such a
brat.
On the other hand, it would be
folly to deny that religious preju-
dice against candidates for Office
does exist and is fairly widespread.
Openly repudiated by all parties,
it's doctrines are whispered in
corners and in the klaverns of the
Khan.
Ordinarily, it can mask itself by
pretending tO vote against a cam
didate for some pretended reason
other than the real one Of religious
belief.
Day by day the Nation is grow
ing increasingly aware that on her
eastern borders there looms a
towering genius in statecraft and
leadership. There have been but
few of his caliber in the history of
the Republic.
Only handful Of leaders, such as
Washington, jefferson, jackson,
Lincoln and Wilson deserve to be
bracketed with his name. AS this
truth become more widely known,
it looks as if the religious bigot
would have no excuse left and
would be forced into the open.
If the Democratic party in the
South and in other Democratic
centers, by rejecting Smith, thus
puts itself on record as imposing
a religious qualification for Office,
it is through. No self-respecting
Democrat will brook the insult.
He will argue that if a Catholic,
as such, is judged unworthy of
leadership, all Catholics are brand

than 100
A THOUGH it is worth one more
IA trick to play the hand in a
no trump, it is inadvisable to take
out in a major suit unless your to-
tai hand is worth more than one
quick trick.
A major take-out should denote
strength. Merely because you hold
five cards in a major suit is no
reason for announcing it.
A safe guide is to take our part
ner's no trump in major when hold
ing:
l. Any five cards as good as an
initial bid, regardless of the rest of
the hand.
2. Any five cards as good as j 10
xxx if a total hand is about as
good as a defensive bid.
3. ANY five cards about as good
as XII 10 Xxx if hand contains
singleton or blank suit.
4. Any six or more cards, regard
less of rest of hand.
Never take out your partners no
trump in a minor suit except for
a sound, logical reason If you hold
high cards in a minor suit you are
under no compulsion to announce
1t. They will help the no trump.
1t is seldom advisable to take out
in a minor suit containing less than
six cards and if in doubt do not
take out when holding less than
six cards.
A minor should only be declared
when holding unusual length or to
show that the hand is worthless
for a no trump as when holding:
Spades-XX; hearts,; diamonds
-J10 xxx; clubs-xxxx.
In this instance take out by bid
ding two diamonds. It signifies
general weakness for the no-trump.
1t proclaims that there is a pos
sibility of making two diamonds
and little prospect Of making two
no-trump.
A safe guide is to take out part
ner's no-trump in minor when
holding:
/. Any eight or more cards in one
minor suit
2. Any six or seven cards without
solid tops if hand is otherwise trick
less.
