THOSE GOOD OLD PUMPKIN PIES

When the yellow's on the pumpkin,
And the frost is on the vine,
When they've picked the yellow
beauties,
And have placed them all in line,
Then Mother takes the biggest one,
And cuts it all up too,
And puts it in the kettle
Just to let it boil and stew.
And when it's gotten just so soft,
And beaten smooth you see,
She pours it in those pie crusts,
That are flakey as can be;
Then she puts them in the oven,
That's just hot enough to turn
Them to a nice brown color,
But not hot enough to burn.
Then she takes them from the oven'
And puts them on the shelf,
And says to Dad, and Sis, and me,
Now go and help yourselfs
o, the joy that we experienced,
When a great big piece we'd take,
Of those good old-fashioned pumpkin
pies,
That Mother used to make.

HOT WATER AND RICE

Due to stomach trouble, Miss A.

rice. Now they eat anything and
feel fine, they say, since taking Ad-

Even the FIRST spoonful Of Ad-

Makes you enjoy your meals and
sleep better. No matter what you

Freedom

Mr.. Rover has gone at the Job
of cleaning up Washington. much
as Mr.. Dexter Fellows announces
the arrival in town of the
Worlds Greatest Circus. His first
move was a gesture to the gal
lery.
Daniel E. O'Connell, city editor
Of The Washington Times, sent
out three reporters to verify
two-year-Old report on liquor con
ditionS in Washington. To see
if they had improved, or grown
worse.
The reporters, German M.
Hendricks, Linton Burkett and
J. E. Nevin, jr., found the Al
worse. The facts were prir ed
and created a furry. Mr.. Rover
had the reporters taken before
the United States commissioner
and there tried to force them
to give particulars, which might
be used for indictments. They
refused to fill the role of spies
and were then cited by the Grand
Jury. taken before Judge Peyton
Gordon and sent to Jail for As
days for contempt Of court.
Cites Arrest Of LangdOn
This sort of high links isn't
going to advance enforcement in
Washington. Especially since
people are asking why substantial
evidence is being disregarded.
They seem to think that Mr..
Rover is more interested in noise
than achievement.
Some 60 farther and say that
they believe that a real clean up
might be expected if the prOhi
bition agents and police interested
in bootleg enterprises, or actually
engaged in bOOtlegging, were first
dealt with.
They point to the arrest Of De
tective Robert F. Langdon, raid
leader of the Washington police,
on October 26, not to prove that
an attempt is being made along
these lines, but rather to prove
the extent to which the police
have been corrupted.
Langdon, known as a relentless
dry raider. shot and killed negro
six months ago after a chase. A
gallon of liquor was found In the
negros automobile. When ar
rested Langdon was found to have
10 gallons Of liquor, which, it is
said. he was transporting for de-
livery to a customer.
1t would be a splendid thing for
the Government to try to enforce
the dry laws in Washington. This
it might do by calling in all the
dry agents from other sections of
the country and giving Washing
ton undivided attention. But this
will not be done. Enforcement
will putter along as heretofore.
This is not the first time threats
have been made to dry the Capt.
tai. AS on previous occasions, we
shall have fireworks, oratory and
threats.

TAX ON SHORT
SALES URGED

A 5 per cent Federal tax on
"short" sales IN the securities mar
kets to curb such transactions is
provided in a bill introduced by
Representative SABBATH CD, Of
Illinois, in the House yesterday.
SABBATH charged that short"
selling accounted for much Of the
recent stock market crash, add
ing:
Short sellers threw thou
sands of shares which they did
not own onto the market, with
the sole purpose Of destroying
the market value of securities,
80 they could buy at their own
prices.
81 ask of what possible good
or aid are these men that are
permitted every few years to
destroy millions of men, ruin
industry, destroy stability and
bring about destruction not
only of billions of dollars Of
values but also of scores OF
lives?
who arc they? They are the
enemies Of progress. tranquility,
happiness and morality. Not
only in peace time but even
during the war they pursued
t their destructive manipula-
tiOnS."

RESERVE BOARD
PRAISED AND
:. CENSUREB

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-Great
strength IS given to Americas
present industrial situation by
sound commodity prices which
were saved from initiation during
the recent business boom by the
Federal Reserve systems creGit
policy that "has proven to be cor
rect" in the opinion of Prof.
Gustav Cassel, of Sweden. writing
in the current issue of the Amer.
can Bankers Association Journal.
He writes:
by this very remarkable &C
cOmplishn,ent the Federal Re
serve system has not only done
a great service to present Amer.
lean economy but also set an
example which will prove to be
Of the highest value for all
countries and for all future
times"
America has gone through
quite regular cycle Of prosperity
and restriction, unique in tbs
one respect that it has not been
accompanied by any rise of the
general lerei Of commodity prices,
he says, adding:
This Is an extraordinary ex.
perience. The very important
result follows that now no
deflatiOn is required. The level
of commodity prices must be
regarded as quite sound and
gives strength to the present
industrial situation.
"The business Of the Fed
eral Reserve system Is to sup
ply the country with means
Of payment to such an extent
that the general level of COM
modify prices Is kept as stable
as possible.
TN comparison with this
great achievement 1t Is of sec
ondary importance that the at
titude of the Federal Reserve
system with regard to stock
exchange speculation has been
a mistake. 1t is fundamentally
a mistake of a central bank to
regulate stock exchange bust
ness.
I'm the present case the at
tempt to regulate the stock ex.
change has failed in the most
manifest manner.
when finally speculation was
checked it was a result of the
fact that the boom had reached
its end owing to the impossible
ity of procuring savings enough
for the demands of a growing
construction of real capital. PeO-
pie are wrong, therefore. when
they accuse the Federal Reserve
system of having caused the
breakdown of the stock ex-
change by artificial credit re-
strictions.
In reality, the Federal Re
serve system has not brou"ht
about the scarcity of Capitai III
the country. Its discount policy
has only registered the actual
scarcity which has resulted from
the economic development.
On the whole, the credit policy
of the Federal Reserve system 0as
proved to be correct, Prof. Cassel
declares, adding:
The system has proved for the
first time in economic history
that a central bank has the sup
ply of means of payment SO
completely under its control that
it is perfectly able to prevent
a rising tide of industrial pros
perity from causing any infIa-
ton of the currency"

The Periscope
DRYING UP WASHINGTON

Washington Is convinced that
President Hoover approves of the
campaign started by District At
torney Leo A. Rover to dry up
the National Capital.
The District Grand Jury is
now in the throes of an investiga-
ton of bootlegging, drinking
parties, etc. and Mr.. Rover is
sending polite invitations to any
person who knows anything
definite about the liquor traffic
to appear and testify.
The President has let it be
known that he is anxious to stop
the flow Of liquor into Washing
ton as quickly as possible, and
that bootleggers and their back
ers be prosecuted. He announced
only a short time ago that the
Capital must be cleaned up as
an example to the nation.
We hope the prosecutor and
the Grand Jury will keep it up,
let the chips fall where they
may" but there have been one
or two unfortunate incidents
which have aroused a good deal
of unnecessary criticism.
The Washington Times has
been publishing some sensational
articles. on wet Washington,
based on Investigations made by
three of it's reporters who had
been assigned to get the facts
They were hailed before the
Grand Jury, and because they re
fused to give the names of their
informants were sent to Jail for
contempt"
Quotes Cincinnati Post
The Washington Times claims
that these men performed a real
public service, for which they
should have been commended.
Moreover, the Times asserts that:
The city editor long 1go
turned over to the Grand Jury
the names and addresses of 40
violators Of the prohibition law.
This was all the information
needed by the Grand Jury and
the District Attorney. if they felt
at all inclined to start an imme-
date investigation and prosecute
the offenders. Instead of crate
fully accepting the data and be
stirring themselves Immediately.
they dilly-dallied. quibbled. har
aSSed our reporters. and finally
sent them to jail. All because
these reporters r"fused to assume
the role of prosecuting witnesses
and swear to facts already in the
possession of the enforcement of
ficers."
Leading papers are unanimous
in their criticism. For example,
the Cincinnati Post points out
that:
"One Of the most useful public
functions of a newspaper is to ex.
pose violations. A distinct aid to
that function is the newspapers
ability to secure confidential in
formation on which its inVeStiga-
ton is then based. and on which
action has been taken in inform
ing the public of conditions. The
attitude of the Grand Jury and
of the judge seems to be that a
newspaper investigator should
automatically become a prosecut,
