built. thus providing work at peak productivity for mil
lions of the surviving population"
This sample of the reaction Of our intellectuals to the
new trend in human society fills one with a sort of
~stupefied despair. For we have here not only a complete
misunderstanding of the doctrine of modern industry,
as exenplified by Henry Ford; we have also a ludicrous
misconception of industry's attitude toward the tragedy
of war.
We have a right to expect something better than this.
The critics OF this age of industrialism ought, at least, to
set themselves straight on its fundamentals The facile
optimism OF the success magazines is not born of any
more shoddy thinking than the equally facile pessimism
of some of our intellectuals.
A tremendous change is coming upon society these
days. 1t is coming whether we like it or not. No amount
of disturbed wailing will halt it. From our intellectual
classes we should be getting-not blind outbursts of pee
wish alarm, but a genuine attempt to understand what
is happening and how we can get the most out of it.
Weird remarks like the ones quoted above do no one any
good.

FRESH AND DRIED APRICOTS

FRESH AND DRIED AfNACOA0
The apricot is q little earlier on the
market than the peach and may now
be found in most markets throughout
North America.
The fresh apricot is an excellent
seasonal fruit, but is more perishable
than some of the other summer
fruits. Most Of the commercial CROP
Is raised in California and since the
fruit does perish so easily the bulk Of
1t is either dried or canned before be-
ing shipped.
II you cannot find the fresh april
cots in your market you should at
least learn to use the apricot in Its
dried form.
AS much as $50 of the apricot Is
dried. You will find that these dried
apricots make a wholesome Good II
prepared properly. They should be
well mashed and soaked overnight In
enough water to cover them. They
should then be cooked in the same
water for as long as possible ir. order
to bring out the sweet, palatable
flavor. No sugar should be added. as
the slow cooking will bring out the
fruit sugar which will make them
taste more delicious than II CONNER
cial white sugar Is used.
If you can obtain the dried fruit
which has not been prepared with
sulphur you will find 1t a great deal
more desirable in every way. The or
! binary dried fruits are treated with
sulphur and some Of the sulphur ele-
ments generally are left in the food. ]

in the same way as 1t is caused by
the sulphur in onions and garlic.
II you live where you may enjoy
apricots you will find that they make
an excellent fruit for the fruit fast
They always should be eaten alone OF
with such protein foods as nuts
cheese, or milk. II they r used In
this way. the skins may be eaten il

The apricot shares the excellencies
of the fruit family; it gives mineral
elements, and vitamins; affords bulk

classed as a mild laxative, and pos
seases the natural fruit sugar.
More than three million cases OF
apricots were packed in 1928-29,
showing how popular this food is for
a canned fruit dessert. The canned
apricots are put up in a thick syrup
and those with impaired digestions
will find that the combination Of
canned apricots and any form OF
starch food is likely to cause fermen-
tation. For this reason, apricot pie,
made from the canned fruit. is not
wholesome.
Apricots may be used for On ice
cream flavor If mashed, strained and
combined with cream and a little
honey, and frozen.
Apricot fluff whip Is made by
MASKING the fruit, straining and then
mixing the pulp with the whites Of
eggs which have been beaten very
lightly. This makes a tempting dish
for a hot day.

A Dangerous Attitude

The city of Detroit has had ten gang murders in nine
days. All of them were of the regular Chicago pattern.
But Detroit's police commissioner is not only unworried;
he remarks that since all of the people being killed are
highly undesirable citizens the police will not take any
especial steps to interfere.
If Detroit wants to follow Chicago's example, no one
can find any fault with this attitude; but if it does not,
it ought to take its police commissioner aside and ex-
plain to him that he is making a terrible mistake.
Gang killings thrive on just such an attitude. The
%gangste.s do not wipe each other Overwhelmingly. In
stead, their private wars simply entrench one faction or
another more deeply in a citys life. Finally, when
their holiness has become unbearable, Detroit may find
itself in Chicagos posiuon-utterly unable to regain the
control over the Underworld which it plscidly gave up a
few years before.

Gay Spender Nears Finish

Another weary boulevard butterfly has closed tired
wings, and is prepared to die. Marquis Boni de Castel-
lane, playboy in a wondering, laughing, often condemn
ing world, lies IN a bed, in Paris, stricken with creeping
to be dressed in formal clothes and across his chest has
pinned the medals Of an ancient family and a busy past.
Once the worlds great spender, today there is naught
that all the wealth OF the world can buy him. He waits
muSing a little cynically, a little r~egretfully. In two years
he spent a half million dollars and from the burning of
that great sum In frivOlitics naught remains but a pink
marble palace on Boulevard Foch, as pretty and unusual
and ornamental and smart as he himself had been-and
as useless in a world of realities.
He married Anna Gould in 1895 and the social worlds
of America and Europe shook with excitement while thou
SANDS Of columns of printed matter brought the news and
next five years Count Boni-aS he was then-and his
wife tossed $1,000, 900 to the winds. Six years after this
the two were divorced. Anna eventually marrying Bonis
cousin, Duke de Talleyrand.
1t Is one thing to spend millions from the Gould treas
ue chest and another to spend half q million from his
own pocket-put there by the Goulds at the time of the
marriage. Broke, he withdrew. for q space from society
and then, dappcr and waxed and corseted and scented
and mincing, he appeared once more and 1t was whis-
pered he was q salesman for an automobile company, q
dealer in antiques and a sort Of super guide for newly
rich Americans through the back wash of Paris society,
a group ~sprinkled equally with titles and scandals.
Fate or nature took toll, however, OF the life he lived
and five years ago paralysis began its stealthy creeping.
Once his former wife came to see him. Very few others,
for the friends who loved to watch COLDS spending cared
little for lifes spending and he was left alone with a
servant or two.
His ancient family, his one-time wealth, gave him no
pull. He was pointed at by guides when he drove in the
Bots for Cook tourists to stare at and backwoodS minis
ters held him up from time to time as a horrible exam

to bed.
The pretty pink palace, dust haunted and empty, as
empty as his life is today, stands deserted, even as ne
has been deserted. The playboy will play no more.

Red Tape at Its Worst
(Minneapolis .JcurraD

VW1IlLedp0IS JCuTT!HU
because 1t took three years of hard work and a special
act OF congress to gain entry into the United States for
the German wife of an American World War veteran, a
new demand has arisen that the ban on applicants guilty
of moral turpitude be removed from our immieratioo laws
IL seems that the bride in question had, as a child, stolen
1000 TO avert starvation. Therefore, American law barred
her as all undesirable.
OF course, barring this young woman was ridiculous,
Just as ridiculous as was the barring of the Countess of
Catncart some years ago, because she had been named in
a divorce case. But doing away with the bar against
Immigrants guilty of moral turpitude is not the proper
remedy. Such a revision of the law would leave the door
open 1or every professional European criminal who could
get himself into a quota.
What Is really needed is common sense in the i'm
migration service. That particular federal agency surely
snould be able to distinguish between real goats and
technical goats, and let the technical goats in, along
with the sheep.

Today Is the
Anniversary of
BATTLE OF BULL RUN

On July 81, 1861, the first Battle of
Bull Run, the first important battle
of the Civil War, was fought near a
small stream of this name in north
east Virginia. :
The Federal army, under General
Mcdowell, and the Confederate army,
under Generals Beauregard and
Johnston, were both composed OF
green troops, poorly drilled and sadly
lacking in experience.
The battle got under way at 10 a.
M, when the Federals opened the at
tack, driving the Confederates before
them until stopped while ascending a
slope, by a fighting brigade Under T.
j. Jackson, who gained the sobriquet
"Stonewall" as the result of this con-
flict.
The Federals gained ground after
stubborn attacks until about 3 p. m,
when the Confederates launched an
attack that drove their foes in con-
fusion from the field. The retreat
became a rout and finally the Fed
erals fled in wild disorder to Wash
ington, but were not followed, as the

Russia as Customer
New York Times

Official and business circles in Washington are IN
clned to see the operation of other than purely CONNER
cal factors in the sharp decline Of Soviet purchases In
the United States during the last few months. In May
our sales amounted to slightly more than ~$300O.OOO, as
against $l2,5 $780, 600 in January, and the figures for June
are expected to show a further slump. The falling OIL
in our exports to Russia. coupled with q notable rise IN
English exports, would be explained in part as a form OF
diplomatic negotiation practiced by the Soviet govern
ment ever since 1t resumed contact with the outside
world. Foreign trade being a monopoly In the hanoS OF
the Soviet government. purchases abroad can WITHIN a
wide range be manipulated in accordance with SOVIET
foreign policy of the particular moment. Trade can be
diverted from an unfriendly country, as Great Britain
would be after the rupture of diplomatic relations sew
! many. It can be swung back to England when she has
resumed diplomatic relations with Russia and Is discuss
ing a business treaty, as is now being done. To q con-
siderable degree the fluctuations In the amount OF bust
ain and Germany have been the result Of this very
natural policy practiced in Moscow of rewarding friends
and Furnishing enemies.
Credit conditions are a second factor mentioned IN
ported to have made contracts on the basis Of 10 per cent
cash. They are now said to be asking IS per cent, with
the Soviet government willing to consider SO per cent.
If this is the reflection of a feeling Of growing uncer-
tainty with regard to Russian conditions, it would seem
to b. IN sharp contradiction with the reports on Rus
sia's progress now being laid before the conference OF the
Russian Communist party, ct which Stain is reported
to be carrying everything before him. For the time being
the simpler explanation Of the slump in our sales to Rus
sia would be, in part at least, the natural reaction from
a sharp increase of sales of the last two years. Our ex-
ports to Russia we're in the Soviet fiscal year in 1929
about 90 million dollars. in l928-29 about ITO Million, and
for the first half of 1929 80, up to March 81 last, very
nearly 100 millions. Particularly heavy have been the
purchases of machinery, both industrial and agricultural,
which amounted to nearly ST million dollars IN the SIX
months up to March 81. Conceivably, such large buy
ings may have conc close to using up RusSias credit
in our markets, and Waahingtcn's view would thus be
vlndlcated
