Whether it occurs on the GLORIOUS
Fourth" or on any other day of the
summer, a community picnic, attended
by persons of all ages, is likely to be
successful If consideration is given to
everybody's comfort. Young people
do not mind perching on logs or rocks
to eat their lunches, or sitting right
on the ground, but those who are less
energetic prefer bench of some sort
and place to set their dishes or bev-
erages. Mothers with little children,
too, can manage them better and get
them to take their milk or fruit drinks
more readily in spite of the prevailing
distraction and excitement, if the ar
engagements for eating are somewhat
like those they are used to. Set tables
and benches such as are found in au-
tOmobile tourist camps, answer adj
mirably, however roughly constructed.
Shade Is essential to comfortable
outing. A grove of tall trees with no
underbrush is ideal, and If there is a
stream or lake in sight to make
pleasant outlook and add interest for
the children, SO much the better. A
supply Of pure drinking water should
be assured, either from well or
spring known to be safe, or carried
from home. Children should be taught

Use X-Ray on Diggers
to Halt Diamond Thefts

Cape Town, South Africa.-Obser-
walton posts with searchlights and
special X-ray apparatus are stated to
be among the means which the South
African government is adopting to end
the diamond smuggling in Namaqua-
land, in which women are said to be
largely employed.
No stones have been produced from
the state diggings since last February
and the work is not proceeding until
all the precautions against Illicit dia-
mond smuggling are completed.
The X-ray apparatus is said to be
such as to make 1t possible to detect
diamonds on or in man passing an
observer. While smuggling is admit
ted, the government denies that the
stones are coming from the state dig
gfngs.

CLANS IN SEASON
ALL SUMMER LONG
Supply Minerals and Protein
Needed for Well Being.

prepared by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.)
CLAIMS are In season all summer
when oysters are missing from the
markets. Depend on clans for some
of the minerals and protein needed
for physical well-being, especially for
iodine, and for vitamines A, D. q, all
development.
The two types of clans most peo-
pie know are the round, or hard-shell
clans, and the long, or soft-shell
clans. The long clans are almost al
ways served steamed or baked and
are the kind used for the traditional
''clam bake" They must be thorough
ly scrubbed and rinsed before cooking,
so that all the juice that cooks out of
them may be collected and served in
cups. At clam bakes these long clans
are pulled out of their shells with the
fingers, dipped in melted butter, sea-
soned, and eaten as hot as possible.
The broth or bouillon is often passed
in cups at the same time.
Small round clans are served raw
on the half-shell or for clam "cock-
tails" with tomato catsup or chill
sauce favored with horseradish. The
| larger and less tender clans are
usually cooked by boiling, baking, or
frying in the form of fritters. AS
| they have good deal of rather tough
tissue they are better put through the
grinder than fried whole like oysters.
Cut up in pieces, round clans are
| often made into chowders, timbales,
| and other clam dishes.
Clam fritters are sure to be popu-
T, lar fol lunch or supper. A tasty cole
slaw or raw vegetable with french
dressing will 60 well with them. Frit-
tiers of any kind must be served pip
ing hot as soon as they are made.
The bureau of home economics gives
the following recipe for making clam
fritters: 4,.,.s
Clam Fritters.
1 pint shucked tsp. bakins

Drain the CLAIMS from the liquor
and take care to catch and save all
of it. Grind the clans in the meat
grinder or chop them fine. Beat the
eggs, add the sifted dry ingredients,
clam liquor, melted butter, and the
clans. Stir until well mixed. Heat
when hot drop the batter by spoonfuls
into the fat, allowing sufficient space
between the fritters for them to
spread and rise. Brown on both sides,
drain on brown paper, and serve at
once.

EXPEDITION WILL
EMBALM GORILLAS
Complete. Specimens to Be
Brought Back to u. S.

New York.-Four scientists sailed
from New York on the Aquitania for
the highlands Of tropical Africa, there
to kill adult gorillas, embalm them
and bring them home complete for
mathematical study. The new speci-
mems will give first opportunity for
detailed comparison Of the gorilla
with man.
Columbia university, which will
finance the expedition, announced its
plans. The College Of Physicians and
Surgeons is cooperating with the
American Museum of Natural History.
Henry Craven, who has explored in
Borneo, Celebes, Africa, Australia and
Greenland, heads the expedition.
He is associate curator of compare
time anatomy at the museum.
With him are DIR. William z. Greg
DRY, professor of vertebrate paleon-
tology at the university and curator
Of comparative anatomy at the mu-
scum; DR.. ]. 81. McGregor, professor
of zoology at the university and re-
search associate in human anatomy
at the museum, and DR.. q. T. Engle,
associate professor Of anatomy at
Columbia.
They also will make special studies
and photographs of the feet of the
unshod natives who carry their equip
ment through the thickly grown high
lands north of Lake Tanganyike. DR..
Dudley j. Morton, head Of the COM
mittee in charge of the expedition,
wants the data for his studies Of the
evolution of human foot and its dis
orders. The native feet are unde-
formed by shoes and will be COM
pared with American feet.
The expedition will return next

Sun Suit With Matching Hat.

ting the head comfortably, 1t should
be cut little wider in front than in
back, and by means of back seam
can be shaped becomingly. The cir
cles of cretonne are needed for the
upper and under sides of the brim,
and an interlining of thin muslin.
Green binding is used. The brim Is
slightly starched to hold its shape.
The crown which is detachable, is
simply a circle of the net, bound with
green bias tape and arranged to draw
up and button to the brim.
The hat and sun suit were designed
by the Bureau of Home Economics of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture. No patterns are issued by the
bureau for any childrens garments,
but this sun suit can be readily adapt
ed from a commercial Dutch-romper
pattern, which flares out at the sides.
These side pieces are scanned together
at the lower edge and close the other
wise open packets, and reinforce the
sides Of the drop seat. Bands of bias
tape trim and define the legs but do
not bind them.

SEEK COMPENSATION
FOR PRISON YEARS
Friends Move to Aid Man
Wrongfully Jailed.

Madison, Wis.-An effort is under
way here to obtain legislative compen.
sation for John A. Johnson, sixty-five,
who served ten years in prison for a
crime it now generally is believed he
did not commit.
Although Johnson confessed In 1911
to the murder of seyen-year-old Annie
Lemberger, he repudiated his confess
sion just before he entered the gates:
of Waupun prison.
In 1922 he was pardoned by Gov.
q. L. Philip, who had been con-
WINGED the man confessed because Of
morbid fear of mob violence.
There are more than 5000 Madi-
son citizens who now are certain So

ing years Of his life and who have
signed petitions asking the legislature
to compensate him, as far as possible;
for that which was taken.
Crime Committed In 1911.
Johnson, an employee Of the city,
has aged rapidly and is in none too
good health. He still works, but his
earning power is small and he and
the wife who trusted him during his
years Of imprisonment are not enjoy
ing the comforts they might have had.
Annie Lemberger, daughter of Mar
tin Lemberger, was put to bed by her
mother about nine o'clock the night
of September 8, 1911. Several days
later her body was found floating i'm
Monona bay. She had been beaten
to death.
johnson was arrested three days
later and was questioned by detec-,
tive. For hours he maintained that
he was fnnocent-until the detective.
struck the vulnerable spot.
The officer, failing in all other eff
forts to make Johnson confess, told
him that mob was outside clamoring
for his life.
Saw Man Lynched.
Johnson once had seen man
lynched at Darlington and the moment
he heard that he was in danger Of
meeting similar fate he became q
bringing, terrified wreck. He con-
fessed, begged protection, and when
arraigned in court pleaded guilty, with
the additional plea that he be hurried
to prison and saved from the mob.
Despite the fact that Mrs. Johnson
and two daughters, Stella and Bertha,
testified that johnson had gone to bed
about nine o'clock the night of the
murder and never left the house dur
ing the night, the mans plea of guilty
was accepted and he was sentenced
to Waupun for life.

Payroll Dropped From
Airplane Is Scattered

Hutchinson, Kan.-Picking up $1O,-
600 il silver and gold strewn over an
area of rs yards was the experience
of William Carr, former guard for the
payroll agent located in the Tampico
oil fields of Mexico.
The money, wages for oil workers,
was dropped by airplane from sacks
in absence of a landing field. One
day when the plane flew higher than
usual, three sacks hit the ground,
burst open, and scattered their golden
contents over the surrounding area.
Only $94 was missing when the guard
had finished picking up the money.

Joan dare Features
Bring Movie Fame

Paris.-Only because she had the
features Of St Joan, eighteen-year-old
Simone Genevoix has risen from the
mass of unknown French women to
become one of the most popular of
French moving picture actresses.
Madamoiselle Genevoix had never
acted until a few weeks ago, and she
was known only to her fellow towns
folk as quiet and demure young girl
who some day would make a good wife
for one of the towns beaux. But
French producers discovered she re-
sembled Joan of Arc even in manner
isms and today she is among the most
praised of French actresses.
Mademoiselle Genevoix is appearing
in the new French film, 1.-THE Wonder
full Life of Joan of Arc" which pur-
ports to be. an authentic reproduction
of the Maid of Orleans life, and histo.
rians and critics have acclaimed her
Interpretation as superb.
