ASSA|LS
B|G(JTS

Whispering slanderers and
political parsons have all but
ruined the presidential cam
paign, according to DR.. Ed
ward T. Devine, dean of the
American University Of this
city, in an address on "Toler-
ance," broadcast over the CO.
lumbia chain from station
WMAL today.
Never was there a stranger and
more melancholy bed fellowship in
politics than in the present cam
paign against Governor Alfred e.
Smith," declared DIR. Devine, who,
as the head of a Methodist institu-
ton, is at odds with the policy Of
many clerical bodies in that de-
nomination.
II should think that the Baptist
preacher who recalls the noble
traits of Roger Williams for re-
ligious tolerance, and the Methodist
preacher who remembers the long
tradition OF Methodism for the
fundamental and complete separa-
ton OF church and state, said DIR.
Devine, would have some very I'M
comfortable sensations when they
observe what some Of their CO.
religionists are doing today in
prostituting their religious author
ity and influence in order to coerce
their followers to vote for parttcu-
lar party and candidate"
TAV-f T0oxyit1o declared that the
real objection" to Governor Smith
is not his wetness. but the fact that
che is a wet Catholic. a Tammany
Catholic, a Catholic from the tene-
ments, the sidewalks and fisn
markets of New York.
.'The emotions which the hostile
pulpit can arouse are the emotions
or the alien and sedition laws, or
the know-nothing movement, ana
the Ku klux Khan. They play
upon resentment against our
new Americans, especially Cain
ol.cs and Jews. the children and
descendants of Irish, German,
Italian and Polish immigrants.
1.-THE nomination of Alfred p.
Smith by the party which carries
the tradition of Jeffersonian de-
mocracy, which stands in theory
and principle Tor the uocFtlnS OIL
political equality, and against every
form of privilege, is in my opinion
the most momentous and the most
encouraging event in the political
history of our generation.
"The elimination OF religious
prejudice and bigotry and of the
spirit of intolerance is the para
mount issue at the present moment,
because until that is done the Other
issues will not be considered on
their merits

ComptrolIer General J. R. McCarl
has called upon. the Interior Depart
ment for a report on the number
of such cases and the total amount
of money involved.
Many Cases Cited
Government actuaries have no
idea yet how many of these cases
there are. though they know that
there have been many.
In most of them amounts are
probably small though in some in
stances employees have left consider
able sums in the fund.
Every cent deducted from the sal
aries of Government employees to go
into the retirement fund Is credited
to the individual employee. Each
year the Government adds A per
cent to the account for interest.
If the employee leaves Government
service before eligible for retirement
this money is due for refund to him
plus interest.
Investigation Pushed
In some cases employees have failed
to get refunds through negligence.
In many others, they have left
money in the fund believing 1t will
continue to draw interest at four
per cent.
This according to officials. Is not
the case since the law specifically
provides interest shall stop the day

ENGINEERS
CHECK
VALUES

Public hearings on the valua-
ton case of the Washington
Gas Light Company were adj
journed today by the Public
Utilities Commission, until
$50 a. m, October %.
In the interval engineers for the
company and the commission will
meet and compile a cost index of
their appraisals on the company's
physical properties. This has been
done piecemeal during the past two
days, but it will take week to
make thorough job of 1t.
Meanwhile, several OF the COM
pany's claims in exhibits filed at
the beginning of the case, have
been undergoing scrutiny and a
lively time is expected when peo-
pies counsel, Ralph B. Fleharty,
begins his crosS-examination.
For instance an enormous amount
OF excavation is priced at $3.50 per
cubic yard. 1t is said that there
are numerous contracts at the Dis
trfct Building for excavating work
At s1.25 and $50 per cubic yard
The difference is explained by
the company's use of excavation
nv hand labor, whereas modern
methods call for excavating tools
which cut the cost considerably.
Among the items of physical
property listed was found coke
separator. price $4,000, and m
ventoried at 81 900, including con-.
tractors profit and overhead.
Challenge Prices
The commissions expert will seek
TO prove that, although the separa-
tor might have cost $4,000 new, it
was actually purchased second
handed for Sc. 600 and there were
no contractors overhead or profit.

FISH ARE MENACED IN COMO.
WINGO POOL

Slate sediment washing down
Deep Creek into the Conowingo pool
ia menacing the fish in the lake, the
Conowingo dam and the navigablllty
of the water it has been learned.
A committee of engineers to make
recommendations for the correction
of the conditions met Monday with
engineers OF the Pennsylvania and
Maryland health departments and
conversation commissioners, Sweep
SON Earle, State Conversation Com
missioner.
The sediment, which has washed
down Deep Creek from a stone com
pany's plant at Delta. Pa, has filled
the entrance of the stream into the
pool to the depth of twenty feet In
places, Mr.. Earle said.
The decision to remedy the situa-
ton followed an inspection made by
Capt. Samuel l.. Kerrick. OF the
United States Army Engineers, who
is detailed in this engineering dis
trict. Captain Kerrick recommend
ed that steps be taken Immediately
to curtail the drift of the slate pow
der down the creek.
Engineers representing the Blue
Mountain Stone Company, which is
responsible for the condition, have
asserted the company was willing
to cooperate in every way and follow
the most feasible recommendations,
Mr.. Earle pointed out.
While nothing definite is known
of the harm the sediment has or will
do to the fish, Mr.. Earle said that ne
has strong reasons to believe that it
is a menace. He explained also
that the filling in of the pool at the
mouth of the creek may change the
current Of the water flowing down
the Susquehanna river and interfere
with the operation OF the Conowingo
dam.

LINE AND PARAGRAPH

The hen that lays small egg is a
bad influence. 1t takes nerve to
Gull her out of the flock, especially
il she is high producer, but rigid
culling of small-egg hens must be
done to improve the flock and to
avoid price cuts that go with small
eggs.
Don't overwork your alfalfa
patch! Alfalfa that goes into the
winter with considerable growth
will come out in better condition in
the spring. Too late pasturing or
cutting may kill stand. For new
seedlings that have not made much
growth, light dressings OF straw
help to reduce the chances for
winter injury.
Lack of housing and of proper
care OF farm machinery means
loss in dollars and cents. BY hous-
ing farm machinery, its life is
doubled and the annual repair bills
cut in half, says the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture. Machinery
should also be painted and the pol
shed surfaces creased to prevent
excessive rusting.
In order to have good sweet
clover pasture next year, plow the
land this fall so that the seeded
will be early in the spring. Either
fall wheat land or fall-plowed fallow
land is good for this purpose.
Sweet clover sown in March will be
ready to pasture at least four weeks
earlier than IL sown in April and the
plants will be nearly twice as large.
Plumbing pipes exposed to whit
er weather may prove more trouble
some than the old "teakettle and
pump" combination. Remember the
pipes that froze last winter? For
protection, commercial coverings, or
homemade wrappings OF felt or bag
ging, may be used; or parts OF the
pipes may be boxed and surrounded
with material such as sawdust,
straw, or graduated cork.
The garage may be useful for
storing something besides the fami-
ly auto. Ii it is dry, we'll ventilat-
ed, and free from danger of freez-
ing, onions can be stored there on a
shelf this winter, thereby keeping
the odor out of the house. Late
tomatoes may also be stored there.
Be sure to gather these before there
s danger of injury by frost. Green
tomatoes are better stored in room
that is kept at a temperature OF
about IS degrees. Potatoes may be
Kept in the garage until the cellar
can be gotten cool enough for them.

Prolong the life OF shoes in win-
lertime, especially those worn by
men and boys without rubbers, by
soaking the soles in grease that
will make them waterproof. The
United States Department OF Agri-
culture recommends several simple
formulas for the purpose.
Rice can be cooked in an open
xettle in Is to 20 minutes. A large
Quantity of water should be used.
AS soon as grain pressed between
The thumb and forefnger Is soft
Ind has no hard portion In the CEN
Ter, the rice should be taken from
The fire, drained, covered with a
cloth, and allowed to steam until
the grains swell and separate.
In cake recipes with a number OF
Eggs, it is possible to substitute bak-
ing powder for one or two OF the
eggs called for, during the period OF
egg scarcity. or course the cake
will not be so rich as when all the
sggs required are used. Allow one
lalf teaspoon Of baking powder and
.wo tablespoons of milk for each
egg omitted. From half to two
thirds OF the eggs called for should
pc used even when this substitution
is practiced.
For rather novel sandwiches or
thin bread and butter for afternoon
tea make some orange bread. The
favor is given by the cooked peel OF
i! oranges. This Is cut into shreds,
covered with water and cooked for
about 20 minutes, or until tender,
