Chicago,s Trinle Alliance.

Attention which has been directed
toward New York recently in respect
to the disclosures Of corrupt dealings
in the selection of magistrates and
judges turns back to Chicago. where
a grand jury, closing its term, virtually
indicts the police department of that
city for corrupt relations with the
criminal element. This is not the first
time that suspicion has been directed
toward the police Of Chicago in search
Of the secondary II not the primary
cause Of the great prevalence Of law
lessness In that city.
The grand jury declares the belief
that there is a well established three
cornfred alliance between the Chicago
Police Department, the corrupt politi-
clans and the criminal element" It
blames this alliance for the murder of
three business men and eleven officials Of
labor unions during the last thrSe years
1t declares that. business men them
selves have become involved in racketeer-
ing through collusiye agreements by
which they should establish them
selves In preferential positions. 1t
charges these business men with con-
spring with labor leaders to win excess
sive profits, and association with gang
sters and corrupt politicians to maintain
discipline within the racket and to
escape prosecution. 1t finally declares
the belief that this manipulation
of trade costs the citizens Of the county
! no less than one hundred million dollars
year.
That this is "old stuff" only adds
to its significance. The fact that 1t
has been charged before that the po-
lice and a certain class Of business
men and labor leaders and criminals
have associated to bleed the COM
munity only increases the poignancy OF
the tragedy. For 1t would seem to be
impossible to correct this condition
which has cost so dearly in blood and
treasure. The corrupt and criminal
groups which have maintained the
rackets, with their extortions and black
mailing operations and murders, are
only small percentage of the popula
ton. The majority seem helpless to ef-
feet reform in the organization Of the
municipal administration.
Coincidentally with the declaration
by the grand jury there CONES con-
fession by a gangster or q hanger-cr
in gangland that he was participant
in the Lingle murder to the extent o.
driving two Of the murder group to TIT
\ scene Of the execution. This man ha!
been in custody for several months Oh

He now names two Of the party and de
scribes the man who fired the shot

Higghligghts on the Wide World
Excerpts From Newspapers of Other Lands

Baldwin, the British ex-premier, Is a
good deal Of a literary styliSt. which
no doubt, is why the people are all the
mere amused by q recent speech in
which he confessed to having put his
foot in 1t up to the hilt." This is really
not "bull." however. but an ordinary
mixed metaphor, such as We all make
far oftener than We realize. Some mixed
metaphors are so well worn that they
pass unnoticed in even the stateliest
prose. How often do we talk Of launch
ing q campaign" which Is surely q
mixture II ever there was one, Mr..
Baldwin must realize by now that
there's many a slip "'twixt the foot
and the hilt," but he can derive comfort
at any rate from the good company he
is in, for even Shakespeare gives us
Hamlet's speech about taking arms
against sea OF troubles" and the elo-
quent Burke once talked Of Savoy and
Nice, the keys of Italy, and the
citadel in her hands to bride switzer-
land''-a triple mixturel
The genuine bull" may depend on
mixed metaphor. but IL must possess
some other pointed incongruity. The
now quite seriously used phrase, CON
spicuolls by his absence" is, in, origin,
a bull
Another good example was perpe-
trated before the Parnell commission
Better be coward for five minutes
than dead all the rest OF your life!"
Which rather reminds one of the
speaker talking of China. who said that
rich man condemned to death could
always find poor man, who. In return
for a small recompense, would act as
his substitute. And continued the
speaker in his enthusiasm, quite q
number of poor Cinnamon get their
living by deputizing In this way"
Then there is the double meaning,
such as Cobden's famous remark In a
speech about fres trade in the Lam

of long yarns OF low quality"
Sometimes, the humor OF such things
depends upon the words being spoken.

eloquent eulogy of oxford, which con-
cluded with the sentence, 81 speak not
of this college nor of that, but of the
university as a whole, and, my friends,
what whole Oxford is!"
Mr.. Baldwin may be glad to know
that other prime ministers have been
guilty Of this sort Of thing, and that
one other unsuccessful candidate told
his supporters that at the next contest
he was sure he would be much further
up the POLL" (balder).

Collectors Of singing cups are rare.
Most people do not even know what
a singing cup Is, much less own one.
A cup that sings is an ordinary tea
cup which has flaw in the glaze on
the inside.
When hot liquid is placed in it, the
cup emits a peculiar sound, which may
be called singing without very largs
stretch of the word.
We know gentleman who has two
of these cups. He claims to be the only
collector of them in the world.
But he is mistaken. We had fine
specimen once ourself.
* * Il
It was an ordinary cup, of no particu-
lar worth aside from its musical ability
1t sang better for coffee than for tea.
With the former beverage its voice
could be heard clear across a room, il
there were no other sound.
For tea it did not do so WELL
Whether the cup preferred coffee to
tea is problematical.
No sooner was a hot liquid poured in
than the singing commenced.
Placing cream in the cup dampened,
but did not stop, the interesting whiS-
Ting or singing sound.
Sometimes cream lowered the pitch,
as 1t were, but 1t never entirely muffied
the tone itself.
+ * Il
The singing continued usually for
the entire time the coffee was in the
cup, which, with us, is not very long,
for We happen. to be a rapid coffee
drinker.
Sometimes the sound stopped when
the coffee was about three-fourths
consumed.
And then one day, after the cup had
been performing for half year, we
noticed lessening in the ardor OF the
vocal flaw.
was the voice CT the cup going to
cease?
We rather disliked the idea. for we
had come to get certain amount of
cheer out of listening to the vigorous
singing of this pet cup.
Perhaps the diminuendo was due to
the quality of the coffee. Or maybe
the cup was tired of the one brand! 1t
was a happy idea.
Accordingly, we changed our brand
several times, but something told us 1t
was all In vain.
The singing cup was drying up.
Soon 1t would sing no more. Day by
day its "voice" grew beautifully less,
as w. S. Gilbert once phrased it.
The time came when We had to apply
our ear very closely to the rim of the
cup to hear 1t at all. and then We were
forced to bid all talking cease.
One day when We listened for the
voice Of the cup all was still.
The flaw no longer worked
The cup was silent at last.

We still have the cup, but 1t no
longer sings. Something that only a
pottery manufacturer knows about has
happened to the flaw in the glaze.
Whatever it is which has happened, it
has stopped the xtra-activity of an in
teresting dish.

hundred thousand cups without ind

other murders have been committed
since Lingle was shot, and no one has
been identified as the slayer In any of
these cases. The latest measure Of
house-cleaning adopted by the city Is a
roundup of well known gangsters on
vagrancy charges, the validity Of which
is questioned This all seems SO futile
that the corrupt connection of police
and criminals now charged by the
grand jury would appear to be estab-
lished as a fact.

Left-Overs That Are Really Appetizing.

The "left-overs" from the large
or small meal are always
source of much thought and in
genuity on the part of the house
wives. and l am going to give a
few hints from my files: some
are original and others given to
me by friends and readers. Being
d business 'vUman with a small
family. there is not much occa-
sion for many "left-overs," never
theless it is no small matter to
prepare Just enough" for the
small family Here is hurried
meal prepared almost entirely
from "left-overs." Rice that was
cooked the day previous is put in
a glass baking dish loosely. Put
over this about a half cup of
grated cheese, cover and set in a
pan of hot water, place in oven
and let steam until hot enough
to make the cheese melt and
run through the rice. Having
small piece of roast lamb left,
this was diced and put into a
brown gravy made with two
tablespoons OF fat and two
tablespoons of flour and a cup
and a half of Chestnut Farms
milk. After this LnickenS put in
the diced lamb, then drain a
small can of mushrooms and pour
over all, let simmer a few minutes
and season only with salt and
pepper. This will amply serve
three people.
There was cup or more Of car
rots and peas fixed with cream
sauce left from the last meal;
that was put into a Colander and

off; then after draining we'll and

Reducing Menu

If you are on a low calorie diet
in order to reduce you will per-
haps find a luncheon composed
of a large glass of buttermilk
with a tomato sandwich satisfy
ing as we'll as appetizing. Or you
might use the buttermilk with
two slices of melba toast and
some raw fruit or a small handful
of raisins. Other foods that are
low in calorie value would be a
salad of raw vegetables eaten
with melba toast; a large serving
of water cress moistened with
French dressing and eaten with
a bran muffin and perhaps a
baked apple. Crackers and milk
make lunch that can also be
safely used.

18th a half cup of finely chopped
celery added, this was marinated
for IS or 20 minutes in a tart
French dressing made with oil
nd a good dash Of red pepper.
Chill we'll and serve with the
same dressing. This meal was
finished with a dessert of cake
crumbs and canned fruit, the
pound cake left was crumbled
and sherbet glasses half filled
with the crumbs, then small
"liced beaches piled on top of the
crumbs, topped with Chestnut
Farms whipped cream.
Then here is a nice way to
prepare leftover bits of ham:
Mince fine, place in saucepan
with one and a half cups milk to
three-quarters cup of ham; let
boil up once, then thicken with
flour and season with salt and
pepper. Serve on bread points.
This is nice for a luncheon dish
with a green salad. A delicious
meat pie is made with left
overs" adding a can of vegetable
pup and seasoned we'll. Put into
a baking dish with rich crust
bottom and top. Bake in hot
oven until Gusts are brown and
crisp. This dish pleases the chill
dren and is a good medium to
get in the desired vegetables.
Leftover" beans of any kind
may be put through colander,
add a cube of beef extract. four
cups of water, one small onion
whole, and remove after it be-
comes tender, thicken if neces-
sary with a little flour. season
with salt and pepper and you
have a very realthful soup; the
beans are completely forgotten.
