TROY's UNCLE SAM
(New York Herald-Tribune.) )

Celebrated by no Homer and less rich in epic material than it's classic namesake, the city of Troy. N. Y., has none the less it's legends to make the most of. Samuel Wilson was a Trojan. He was of no great con- sideration in his day, yet. while Hec- tor is proverbially dead, the obscure citizen of modern Troy is always on mems tongues and in public print. For he was the original Uncle Sam, it is said.
 Troy, at least, would have It so and is collecting documents to prove 1t. And the encyclonedias agree in

when we were all comparatively in our systems we took it out on the Russians. Now we are razzing the Russians more enthusiastically than ever, the rest of the world is still razzing the United States and among our own folks nobody seems to find life bearable any more un- less they are picking fights with each other.
 Incidentally, there's a dirty skunk out in my state who made a speech the other night and said the only excuse for the people sending me to Washington was that it made the state omuch better place to live in"

Maybe State Senator William H. Hack ett of New Haven had the right slant on state finances after all Last week when the budget for the next two years was approved he stated there would be $l5.000,000 deficit at the end of 1852. For the month of April receipts in the General Fund were S395.354 lower than in April of l93O.' Expenditures for April were S64O,64O greater than in the same period last year. However. this may not mean thing Watt until some of the heavy expenses of the next two years are entered upon the ledger. hen Commissioner of Finance and Control Hall will do some worrying.

PRESENCE

PRESENCE By Ben Brigham in The New York Times) Never was any Wind white As the Wind that blows From the sky tonight. Nor any rain So silvery As this new rain On the lilac tree. The maple buds More crimson blow Than ever they did A year ago. And the tender grass Is greener far Than all remembered Grasses are. The dawn comes now With words more clear Than ever fell Upon my ear. All things more lovely Stir and start - From your deep presence In my heart.

Of cookery.
The bride of today should be a
so per cent better cook than her
mother or mother-in-law She has
better materials and better tools.
The housewife OF thirty to fifty
years ago had raw materials OF un-
certain quality, an unreliable old
cookstove and a few recipes given
her by her relatives.
"Today's bride has absolutely de-
pendable fuels and stoves. the

tons experienced by an American
debutante when presented 70 King
George and Queen Mary at Buck
ingham Palace were revealed today
the presentees.
Being presented In court Is even
more exciting than I had ever i'm
agined il would be-" she said. The
climax to weeks of anticipation
came when I entered the throne
room and made bows 70 their mai
estes.
The ~presentees have no more
doubts or worries when they reach
the palace. The ceremonials are
rigidly prescribed. The chamberlains
identify each lady, ascertain that
she Is in the proper place In line
and arrange her train SO that all
she has to do is to walk in, curtsy
and take her place.
There is no hitch in the pro-
ceedings. Everything moves Like
clock work. Yet M never gets the
impression that things are being
hurried along. In fact. the whole
pageant moves with the rhythmic
procession Of a magnificent, STIR
ring piece OF music.
To me the most memorable
event in the entire evening was
when Queen Mary bowed TO the
court peereSSes and ~presentees. II
was the peak OF the whole magnifi-
cent procedure-the most gracious
gesture of dismissal by one OF the
most dignified members OF royalty.
L hope that all Of the American
debutantes and matrons who were
presented to the Court Of st. James
are ~appreciative Of the great honor
they received. SO little Is known
or understood Of the ceremony and
its significance that IL is sometimSe
regarded merely as a symbol of o
cial ucces instead Of a really i'm

man ever would forget"
