Bruised Celery Adds to the

AS a cooked vegetable. celery offers
a pleasant change when the winter

Put the cut celery into a shallow
baking dish. Melt the meat drippings
in skillet, add the -four, stir until
we'll blended. and then gradually add
the water and continue to stir until
smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste
and pour this not gravy over the
celery, or use an equal quantity of
leftover slightly thickened gravy or
meat broth Cover the dish and bake
in a moderate oven for ~ minutes. or
until the celery is tender. During the

a marvellous help during colds. It
is the prescription of a family doc

always lessened when it is used;
your system is kept free from
phlegm, mucus and acid wastes.
The cold is "brOken-up" more easily.

TO do the work. 1t does not griLe

Sliding metal fasteners that insure
complete protection from wind, rain,

both these play suits for children de-
signed by the bureau of home ecOno-

what similar, but one is made of q
wooden fabric, the other of close
woven, warm, cotton material. In
slight details the suits also differ.
The one on the left has patch pockets,
the one on the right. tailored welt
pockets; the former has a buttOned
front opening, the latter closes with
metal fasteners. On the first the ex-
ira elbow room in the sleeve is held
in at the wrist by stitched pleat:
on the second this fullness is confined
by means of a loop and button.
Fundamentally. however. the suits
have many points in common and can
be made from a good coverall or
night-drawers pattern with certain
adaptations. We know that children
need comfortable, nOnrestricting gar
ments for play, that will at the same
time keep them warm and dry. In
very cold weather these suits. like an
overcoat, can be worn over the CLOTH

An Interrupted Parade

June 4, 1918, was an eventful day
at Atlantic City, n. J. Hundreds of
bathers were at play in the surf. A
parade of Knights of the Mystic
Shrine was in progress along the
boardwalk, preceded by band which
played "Where Do We Go From Here. ="
Suddenly a boat appeared around the
end of one of the long piers. white
flag of distress whipping at the bow.
There was a moment of stunned
silence then a shout of welcome arose
from the crowd. The band swung
into "The Star Spangled Banner" and
excited Shriners, unmindful of their
rpgaIia, rushed waist-deep into the
surf.
For they recognized this craft as
one of the IifPbOats of the New York

had zen tOrpedoed by a German sub
marine off the coast of New Jersey
on June 2 Other lifebOats, carrying
the survivors of the attack, had been

Most Valuable Diamonds

that no diamond has ever brought

FLYING FOLDS

There are some creatures known
as the phalangers-the flying phalan-
gers they are usually called.
They are something like squirrels,
and they have loose folds Of skin that
they use for flying.
In fact these folds Of skin are used
by the phalangers just as though they
had private airships of their very
own.
And they can always be ready for
flying trip, too!
Now two little phalangers had curled
up in the corner of a tree far away
from here.
They had some straw beds which
they thought were especially fine and
they were talking. .
Their names were Betty Phalanger
and Freddy Phalanger.

they always carried their airships with
them.
Yes, the phalangers did not think
so much of people as they did of
birds.
The birds didn't have to step into
planes in order to fly.
They merely had TO spread their
very own wings and they were off, up
in the air.
And they could catch insects when
flying and do their marketing in this
way.
But the phalangers thought they
were quite bright, too, with their folds
which helped them to fly little, low

tention.

Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania is TO be the
new chairman of the tariff commission What a
comedown that is from the old ideal of scientific,
nonpartisan commission.
Not that any one will question the intelligence
and cleverness of Fletcher. He is of parts
but of high tariff party. Also, he is a yes man.
His twenty-eight years a diplomat have Melted
him the reputation of being of the most con-
servative men in the foreign service AS ambassador
20 Italy he came to be known as more of Fascist
than MuSsolni.
His political support from the beginning has come
from the Boss Penrose-Joe Grundy higher tariff
crowd of Pennsylvania He was ambitious to be one
of their senator's.
And he is expected to correct the billion
dollar tariff law they put over on the country. OF
course he will do nothing of the kind.
Our interest in this appointment is not SO much
in the man Fletcher, however, in what the APP
pointment of such type implies. 1t means appar-
emily that the tariff commission in this administra-
ton is not going to be very much different from the
docile body which served the last administration
Perhaps we are bit old-fashioned. But we still
would like to put into practice that pledge made
SO often and by SO many politicians to take the tariff
out of politics to the extent of organizing and sup
porting scientific tariff commission.
That is to say, commission which is sufficiently
sef-respecting and independent to function without
thought of White House party favoritisln; body
of experts who would serve the government as i'm
partially as economic experts today serving the
great private banks and other commercial organiza
tons
There time when the country might have
supposed that Hoover was just the kind of President
who would call in experts for the highly technical
and controversial problems Of tariff rates. But that
hope disappeared last spring, when the thousand and
more economists representing virtually all leading
experts in that field appealed to the President to
block the suicidal Grundy bill.
The President, in ignoring the advice of the united
experts made it pretty clear that he was not going
to make use of tariff economists in the future.
Since then our exports have crashed downward.
as the economists warned, largely because of the
higher tariff The value of exports now has fallen
TO the lowest point since 1915, and last month was
less than two-thirds much as in July year ago.
The export loss last month alone was more than

reports that business activity declined further dur

This is HooverS problem We doubt very much
that he can solve this problem with tariff commits
sion of Fletchers But if it is to be partisan in
stead of scientific commission the President nat
urally will pick the kind of partisans he wants
