HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

It sometimes helps us to bear the ills We have by recalling others which were as bad or worse and from which in due time we recov- cred. So it may be worth while to turn to the records of ten years ago and see what was happening then. In the fall of 1920, under the Wilson administration, business suffered a collapse and there was heavy unemployment which con- tinued and grew worse through the winter and the following spring and summer. President Harding recog- nized the situation by calling an unemployment conference in Sep tember, 1921, appointing the then
 Secretary of Commerce, new Presi- dent Hoover, to preside. The con- ference was in session two weeks shows that members differed but shows that n.embere differed but little in their views of what ought to be done from students of the same problem today. The principal emergency measures proposed were that manufacturers should put their employees on part time SC that
 all might have some work and in come; and that public works, local,
 state and federal, should be ex-

PROPHECY UNPARALLELED

Fifteen years age. Herbert O.. Gunnison writing in Leslie's maga- zine said of the future of jour nalism:
 "The journalism of the next dec- ade will be sane, sober and sincere sane as opposed to silly; sober as opposed to selfish. There will be more newspapers for discriminating readers and fewer catch penny sheets. The newspaper of tomorrow will aim to be sound as we'll as to resound. It will be a newspaper of sense but not of sensation, devoted to service, but not cringing ser witty"
 We wonder what Mir. Gunnison thinks of his prophecy today, when a decade and half have passed. There has been a notable advance in thousands of smaller newspapers but many of the city papers, par ticularly those in the chains, rep resenting millions of dollars in- vested, still show a lack of sanity, sobriety and sincerity and are as servfle in their devotion to certain projects as they were fifteen years ago.

HALIBUT LOSSES

The September catch of halibut landed in Seattle for this year was 2,345,50O pounds valued at s146,- 713.00, compared with S96,500 pounds valued at S121,095.00 for the same month last year. Halibut boats made 109 trips in 1880 and 139 in 1881 for the month of September.
 This looks good on paper at the first glance but when the price paid per pound is compared with the price paid last year it looks far from good to the halibut fishermen, for the 1880 price was above 19 cents per pound and the 1891 price was only a fraction over 6 cents per pound and the fishermen claim that they cannot pay expenses at the latter price.

ACCIDENTS

A weekly newspaper is prone to feel after a few years that it has experienced every accident and calamity that can befall a news paper shop, but it remained for the Herald of Edna, Texas. to be held up for repairs from most un- usual accident.
 "Wednesday night of last week, :" scys the Herald, while we were operating the news rress a peculiar accident befell us. PsrUliar is hard ly the word. either. And novel does not exactly express it. Any way, it was fatal and destructive in it's nature. As the bed of the large press vas going TO and fro at a rather tast clip, turning out two pages of the Herald. a large wood rat, cat or some other kind om animal, varmit, or what have you, took refuge on it and remained there until we scraped it off with a knife and stiff brush. It went through the space the thickness of the paper the Herald is printed on. AS a matter of fact, the sDac1 does net permit this paper to go through in the clear, but is pressed down and printed upon. Well, one can imagine the appearance of the rat, or whatever it was that went this route. While there was a super abundance of smear and squash. there was not a sufficient amount of its anatomy together to even hazard a guess as to its identity. It is like the mystery of the "un- known soldier''-beyond human in genuity to fathom. This novel ex- perience caused a delay in opera tions, for the cleanup job was quite a task, and naturally a very unpleasant one. It is amazing the amount of space a rat can cover when mashed out real thin"

SILVER
 PROMISED BY ALLOY PROCESS

BUTTE. Mont.-Jewelry and siI- verware. exquisitely designed. yet impervious to scratching or bend ing. is enyisioned by metallurgists at the Montana School of Mines.
 This fall work will start to dis cover whether this can be done in a scientific laboratory, The hope of success is based upon a recent discovery here of a method for hardening copper which may be applicable tG other metals.
 Research workers at the Butte technical school hardened copper by the addition of about two per cent nickel silicide.
 The resulting alloy was nearly twice as strong as structural steel. but stiH retained the essential characteristics of copper.
 With such tremendous hardness and strength the new copper alloy showed extraordinary willingness to take the most delicate casting and machining.
 Dr. Curtis L. Wilson, head O. the metallurgy department of e school. believes that the combina- tion of these factors. applied to precious metals, will result in jewelry as strong as it is beautiful
 "As a result of our success with copper" said Dr. Wilson, i've all ready have received many inquiries Ias to whether some process could not be evolved for hardening other non-ferrous metals. such as silver, gold and platinum.
 We believe, since this copper hardening process is based on sound fundamental principles, that such hardening Of other metals is simply the next logical step"
 The success in hardening copper has opened a great new field to metallurglsts, 1t is believed here.

pedited and enlarged.
 Secretary Hoover's judgment, in which President Harding coneurred, was that the outstanding thing was setting unemployment before the country in an official manner as primarily a problem of industry. For the first time in our history public attention was focused on the subject. Said he: Impetus is being given public education as to the nature of the problem of un- employment"
 The study MT. Hoover gave the problem at that time doubtless had much influence upon the course of action he has followed during the present crisis. first in calling con- ferences of employers and labor organizations and securing mutual pledges that wages would not be reduced and that demands for in- creases would not be made nor strikes encouraged; second. in urg- ing expansion of construction pro- grams both through private and public agencies; and third. in en- ideavoring tC have employment guaranteed so far as possible.
 But the encouraging thing to re- call in connection with the depres- sion of 1921-22 is that it came to en end.-EX.

WHILE the beginner in cooking

have been worked out for roasting
and baking and brewing and stew
ing quite Invaluable, she also will
find that there are many other fac
tors which must be taken into con-
sideration pertaining to the gentle

ripeness and size of materials all
enter into the length of time re-
quired to cook a given food. and
time tables cannot specify these
conditions.
The experienced homc-makor
has a definite routine she follows
in preparing a meal. Many new
cooks, however, have known the
embarrassment of finding part of
the meal cold or dried to a crisp

to be palatable.

cred ones.
The size and shape of the veg

Small vegetables or large ones cut
in small pieces will cook quicker
than those left whole. The more
surface exposed. the shorter the
cooking period.
Again the time required for pre-
pairing vegetables for cooking must
be considered in the planning of
