NV Neighbor Saws:

When making ironholders put
in one layer of leather from an
old glove, as it is non-conductor
of heat.
If tiny pinch of salt is added
TO eggs when beating you will be
surprised to find how much better
and faster they whip.
Chairs and sofas upholstered in
leather will last and retain their
appearance much longer if you
apply regularly mixture of one
part vinegar and two parts boiled
linseed oil well shaken together.
It not only cleans the leather,
but softens 1t, and at the same
time prevents its cracking. Apply
a little on a soft rag and polish
with a silk buster or piece of
chamois.
Fruit that Is to be used in fruit
cake should be rubbed well with
-four. This will prevent it from
settling to the bottom.

Children's Party.

For a children's party, very attrac-
tive table decoration can be secured by
means of animal crackers standing on
vanilla waters. Dip the feet of each
animal in frosting or in plain white of
egg and fasten to wafer. Arrange the
animals in a row down the middle of
the table, or place one at each plate.
The children will be much pleased with
such a menagerie.

from the provincial convention Of Vir-
ginia, which instructed the Virginia
congressional delegates to propose q
resolution Of independence. This was
done on June Z by Richard Henry
Lee.
The delegates as a whole, however,
were not yet prepared for so decisive
a step. The vote on the resolution
was postponed, but the proponents Of
the measure managed to obtain the
appointment Of committee to draw
up declaration. While the commit
tee was engaged in the work Of draft
ing, the proponents whipped up sup
port for the resolution. On July it
received the votes Of nine state dele
cations, and on q later date the vote
was unanimous.
Colonies United.
The Declaration of Independence
was born on July 4, when the report
of the committee composed Of Thorn
as Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John
Adams, Roger Sherman and Robert r.
Livingston-wasu unanimously adopted.
It was born one year and three
months after the fighting at Lexing-
ton and Concord ushered in armed
hostility between the Colonies and the
mother country.
Subsequent events proved how ben
eficial to the new nation this slow
birth was. The happenings Of the
fifteen months had taught the Colonies
to work in unison, and had given them
common outlook. They showed
their strength and singleness of pur-
pose in their successful prosecution
Of the war. and, that ended, in the
strong government they created.
True, that government in its early
days often had trouble maintaining its
authority, but it was never seriously
endangered until the occasion of the
Civil war. The outcome of that strug-
gle settled for all time the question
Of the oneness of the American Union.
Nations Firm Foundation.
Rarely does history show parallel
case of a nation, springing from a
revolution, proving as stable as the
United States has been during the
155 years Of its existence. There can
be no gainsaying that this stability
has proceeded largely from the cir
cumstances Of the nations birth.
There was no abrupt break with the
past, as has been the case with many
European and Latin American and
South American republics. The Amer
ican Revolution evolved naturally
from the American peoples political
maturity and strength. And the evo-
luton of American institutions, for
the good Of US all, must proceed in
the future as in the past-slowly, and
upon firm ground.

Allen and Benedict Arnold led forces
that captured the forts at Ticonderoga
and Grown Point. Montreal was cap
tured, but Quebec withstood attack,
and the former place had to be aban-
doned. Attempts Of southern tories to
break the power Of the Revolutionists
failed
Meanwhile the king had replied to
the congress- declaration. He de-
nounced the Americans as rebels and
forbade commercial relations with
them. An act blockading the Colonial
ports was passed by parliament. The
congress retaliated by opening Ameri-
can ports to vessels Of all nations, in
disregard Of the British navigation
acts.
Step to Independence.
With affairs at this pitch, public
opinion still did not favor severance
from Great Britain. The first official
act that showed the turn of the tide
came in May, TITO, when the congress
suggested that each colony form
government based on the assumption
that the crowns authority was no
longer binding. The first move to-
ward independence came in the same
month, not from the congress, but

announcement to the waiting world.
Young and Dawes have the respect Of
the world leaders because of their
postwar adjustments of European
finances. Dawes is still Republican
timber for the Presidential job. Young
is a Democrat and prominently men
toned for the nomination next year.
Obviously it will require some tall
explaining for any party to grab the
credit for what it is worth.
There is something more than prob
lens in arithmetic before the Federal
Budget Bureau at this time. The
spendthrift Congress which closed
shop March 4 left them the tremen-
dous sum of ten billion dollars to dig
up and distribute. Before the war a
congress that voted over a billion dol
lars was likely to meet with rebuff at
the next hustings. The Congressional
money authorization represents more
than one-seventh of the national in
come for the past year. These figures
become more pronounced with the
treasury deficit nearly a billion dol
lars at present. Whatever pruning is
done by government departments and
agencies will be Insignificant COM
pared to the total. Now the suspen-
sion of debt payments amounting to
hundreds of millions will also cut a
dent in the revenues. These figures
will develop when the House Com
mittee on Appropriations meets for
hearings on government finances in
November. A debt holiday means
just the opposite for the guardians of
the governments cash box.
The official family" as the Pres
ident's cabinet is known, has certain
liberties that the Chief Executive
cannot enjoy. They find it possible to
escape the humidity of Washington

is that few cabinet meetings are
