celery and nut salad (nuts to be

Fresh vegetables should be thor
oughly cleaned with a vegetable brush
under running water in order to re-
move all trace Of grit or poison spray.
The water that clings after the final
washing usually affords sufficient
moisture to start the cooking process,
especially where the heavy aluminium
pans are used. With a little care. al
most any vegetable may be entirely
cooked in practically its own Juice,
whether on top of the stove or by
baking. Many vegetables which are
cooked by boiling or steam
ing may be given a desirable and diff
ferent flavor by baking, such as
ground beets, turnips, carrots, etc. The
flavor may be varied by slightly
browning on top.

THE TALE OF THE N

CARLYLE used to insist that the history Of any nation
or age was nothing but a collection Of the biographies OF
its great men.
Our modern age. less fertile with greatness ana more
critical Of it. seems to be reversing that axiom. We seem
to suspect that a nations history can be told better by
biographies, not of its great men, but OF its submerged.
unsung nobodies-the toilers whom no one notices but
whose uneventful lives tell the story of the building OF an
empire.
Oddly enough, it is not the historian or the biographer
who is using this method Of approach to give US a new
slant on our history: it is the novelist. The story OF a
negro laborer in tn. new south can tell as much about the
recent development Of that section as a two-volume
sociological treatise; we can learn more Of the winning OF
the middle west from q book like Shadow OF the Long
Knives" than from halt a dozen histories.
. Thus it is to a new novel, "Hunky.' that one can turn
for a new glimpse of that great army of foreign-born Ia
borers that makes the wheels go round In our big cities.
This book. by Thames williamson. has as its hero one
Jencic-an ignorant. powerful, uninaginative "hunky'
who tolls in poverty in the slums of a great city. Jencic
is like uncounted thousands Of Others. He lives BY and
for his Job. It is all he knows. When a strike comes he
blindly follows his leader, never knowing why: when the
strike ends he goes back to work again without the faint
est idea why he struck.
A friend tells him he must become an American citi-
zen in order to be safe from police persecution. So he
goes to a grating city councilman, pays two dollars and
gets his papers" which he fondly treasures. The sig
nificance OF the thing never reaches him. He is, In re-
atty, a man without q country.
Even his own city is strange to him. He blithely vio-
lates the prohibition law without even suspecting that he
is committing a crime. All he knows is his job; the job
that is his one excuse for existence; the job that is the
one anchor which holds him steady in a confusing and
astounding world.
1t is because there are so many Jencics-so many, many
ignorant "hunkies"-in this country that the book is. in
its way, a kind Of history. It opens up for us a new vista
in American life. For the whole nation is built on a
foundation of men like this uncouth toiler. The mills Of
Detroit. Pittsburgh and Gary, the textile plants of New
England. the construction gangs Of the southwest. the
lumber camps of the west coastal Of these come down,
in the last analysis. to Jencic and his kind.
You could not hope to understand America If you knew
only Park avenue, Southampton, Newport and Bar Har-
Dor. No more can you understand it If you do not get
some comprehension of the immigrants. The American
story has many chapters. One of the least understood
but most important Of these is the chapter of the un-
washed, unsuns. all-enduring Hunky.

UTOPIA AND II PER CENT

OAOI 1A AM i i I IN
When the bloated bondholders of a capitalistic world
get wind Of the latest financing program Of the central
executive committee at Moscow there are likely to be
some strange conversions to bolshevisn. Announcement
is made Of government bond issues paying II per cent in
terest.
Evidently, IS between plain out and out capitalism and
the new economic policy" Of Russia, the latter can prom
ise rewards beyond the dreams Of avarice in less en-
lishtened countries. Just how 1t happens that in q COM
munistic heaven there are those who have 100000 900
rubles to invest in government bonds is best left to those
who can explain the presence Of a horned toad in a cor
nerstone that has been sealed 80 years.
That isn't what concerns the lover of mankind. His
one and only thought is for poor old Ivan smithski, Rus
sian taxpayer. who will spend the next ten years digging
the II per cent interest charges out OF his jeans. And, oh,
how those interest dates do roll around! John Smith, the
economic slave of capitalism. knows how that is. he pays
only q measly little old I or 5 per cent-at the most 6
per cent-to the money lenders. If ivan smithski hasn't
more liberty than John Smith, he is being flimflammed.
He Is paying for more.
These modern Utopias are not all they are painted up
to be, and such hated capitalistic states as the United
States, may. on occasion, seem the more idealistic.

MUSCLE SHOALS AN OLD ISSUE

II you think that the question of what to do with the
vast water power resources at Muscle Shoals is a prob
lem confined to postwar years, you're sadly mistaken,
It was one Of the earliest problems raised in our national
life.
Records Of the American Philosophical society, in Phil
adelphia, show that the question arose as far back as
1902. In that year, the societys minutes show the fol-
lowing entry:
Donations: a plan for Mussel Shoals, Tennessee. Mr..
Vaughn appointed to obtain from Sam Brown, Of Lex
ington, some further account Of 1t for publication"
Unfortunately. the record ends there. so there is no
way OF telling whether the early philosophers favored
government operation or outright sale to the Henry Ford
of that period.

But here's an exploded feminine
myth. Arm In arm with the credo of
feminine intuition" has always been
the twin sister idea that women we're
such splendid judges of character.
Now comes one DR.. j. p. Guilford
Of the University of Nebraska who,
finishing an experiment tending to
have both men and women Judge
character from pictures of faces
given them, says that girls did no
better, If as we'll, in the test as boys.
But surely "us girls" can afford to
relinquish some Of the old myths
which merely sought to give the lit
tie girls a hand because there was
so little they had in the days when
the myths were invented.

form feats without rhyme or reason,
1t is no wonder that they find them

about "the ~furtherance OF aviation"

You can hardly blame their doubt.

care they for results?

MALE VIEWPOINT

Congressman Somebody or other
from a dry state just can't under
stand why anybody should question
his personal conduct in the matter Of
buying home brew supplies. The home
brew supply company gave out the
facts in a letter which the congress-
man had written telling Of his results
with the firms wares.
This is typical male psychology. The
feminine standard demands a prac-
ticing Of what you preach. The male
is very often utterly unable to see
that public and private life have any
common ground.

GOULD CASINO STILL
WAITS FOR LICENSE
American French Residents
S. 900, 600 Gambling Place
Remains Closed

Nice, France, Jan. 3.-P,-Failure
of the French government to issue q
gambling license has prevented the
opening of Frank Jay Goulds new
IS 900 900 casino.
The situation was regarded today
as so serious TO the welfare of the city
that the mayor of Nice went TO Paris
to plead that the government grant
a gambling license to the establish
ment.
The gala opening was widely ad-
vertised for New Years day. Hun
dreds of persons dressed in evening
clothes waited outside the gates for
several hours while 500 employees, in
GLIDING walters. croupiers, cashiers
and managers, stood at their posts
within.
Authority Of the city council to OPP
crate what had been described as the
most beautiful European casino had
been obtained, but the opening was
suddenly Cancelled because the gov
eminent had not issued a license.
Frank Jay Gould has lived in
France for many years and owns sew
eral large hotels and resorts on the
Riviera. His project for an immense
casino at Nice was announced early
in 1926. The place was to be called
the Palace Venetian and was intended
to compete with the famous casino at
Monte Carlo, and other resorts, for
the gambling DrofitS of the Riviera
The announcement of the project was
followed by considerable boom in
land prices in the region.
