Good Illustration of
"Horns Of a Dilemma"

A Nemma" is a thing taken for
granted (from the Greek word .'lam-
bano," to take). A dilemma" Is a
double lemma, a two-edged sword
which strikes both ways, or bull
which will toss you whichever horn
you grasp. A classic illustration of a
dilemma is given In the following
ancient story: A young rhetorician
said to an old sophist, "Teach me to
plead and will pay you when I gain
a cause" The master sued for payment
and the scholar pleaded IF 1 gain
the cause, shall not pay you, because
the judge will say l am not to pay;
and If lose my cause shall not be
required to pay, according to the
terms of our agreement" To this the
master replied, mot so; If you gain
your cause you must pay me accord
ing to the terms Of our agreement, and
If you lose your cause, the judge will
condemn you to pay me-"

damental principles in cookery, and
after that let the imagination soar,
for there is no end to inspiration.
After some experience with handling
foods, most toothsome dishes may be
prepared from bits of leftovers. The
cook who wastes nothing, but serves
her food in dainty, appetizing man
ner, is a real genius and her talents
are ever in demand.
1t is not always wise to tell all one
knows as to the contents of dish,
for some conscientious DIRECTORS will
refuse to try madeover dish, or re-
arranged food.
Now, who will dare to call steamed
pudding leftover? Yet one may pre-
pare a most tasty one with few
squares of corn bread, cupful Of left
over cocoa, bit of oatmeal, few
raisins and couple Of egg yolks left
from some icing or dessert.
Use the things you have at hand
anyone who knows little about foods
can prepare a good meal If the mar
ket can be called upon with no regard
to expense.
Do you use the half-cupful, more or
less, of leftover ice cream in cake
or pudding?
Leftover custard may be used the
next day for pudding sauce.
AS we should regard good meal
as important in itself, we will learn
to appreciate and value the food that
makes good meal.
Accident is often the mother of new
things, as the discovery of one woman
when making a sponge cake that 1t
was more fetching when the egg yolks
were added unbeaten and stirred in
to make the cake streaked gold and
white in appearance.

Concerning kissing

Kissing the Bible after taking an
oath is merely token that you have
sealed your oath with your lips. In
ancient Greece the hand was kissed
toward the rising sun. The idea ap-
pears to have been that the breath
was the life Of man, and that giving
a part Of the breath to the object
adored was in the nature Of sacri-
foa

China Also Possible
Buyer of Grain After
Brazil NEGOTIATIONS

The Federal Farm Board today
was the possessor Of 1850 900 bags
Of coffee, as the result Of a deal
with the Brazilian government,
agreeing to ship to that South
american republic $4,000, 900
bushels of wheat. The exchange
was arranged late yesterday. The
Office will aggregate approx
mately $500, 900 pounds.
If long-term credit may be ar
ranged, the Chinese government
will purchase 100000 bushels of
wheat from the board, reducing
its holdings, including the Bra
lillian purchase, by about 20 per
cent.
Further sales to the Far East
are expected, especially as the rice
crops Of China, Japan and India
are below normal and may require
these countries to supply the diff
ference in wheat foods.
The board announced that
under the terms Of the agreement
with the Brazilian government,
the coffee is to be withheld from
consumption until the fall OF
1882.

STIFF Loss IN
GRAIN DEAL
Surplus Wheat Trade for
Brazil Coffee Estimated to
Levy Loss Of Eight Millions

Uncle Sans reputation for be-
ing a shrewd trader suffered
somewhat in the deal by which
the Federal Farm Board has ar
ranged to trade Is, ,OO0. 900 bushels
Of American wheat for 1850, 600
bags Of Brazilian coffee.
The Government, or the Farm
Board, which amounts to the
same thing, stands to incur an
appreciable loss on the transaction
on the basis of its own wheat pur-
chases and the current market
quotations on both commodities.
U. s. Loss 8 Millions
The wheat which the board
viii send to Brazil goes 1T .
price Of about 50 cents per bushel.
1t was purchased by the board,
In its futile effort to peg prices,
at . considerably higher price.
No one knows exactly what the
board has paid for the entire
zoo, ,O0O,O bushels it has on its
hands. IL was bought ut prices
ranging up to $1.5O bushel.
It Is believed, however, that
the boards holdings represent an
average investment in excess Of
IS cents buShel. Using that
figure, the board stands to lose
IS cents q buShel on $4,000, 900
bushels, or approximately $6.-
266, 900.
The grade Of coffee which Bra.
zil will send in exchange for the
wheat is now selling in the New
York market at 5 cents a pound.
Under the terms Of the Brazilian
trade, the board will acquire J..
O5O,OO0 bags, or approximately
138, 100000 pounds, at slightly
more than Z cents q pound. This
involves about 100000 more
loss.
Board Satisfied
In defense of the deal, how.
ever, farm board members cited
the enormous cost Of carrying
the wheat in storage, the inSur.
ance, and the deterioration that
would be inescapable if the stocks
were held for a long period. AL
told, the board believes it struck
a happy bargain. The wheat is
taken off the market in the
United States, and goes to a
country that hitherto has bought
little American wheat. Thus no
regular market is being invaded
and a possible avenue is opened
for future sales Of American
wheat in Brazil.

Gated, saw the butcher at work in
his store.
Henry Heintzman, employe of
the shop, arrived at the place
about $50, but found the door
locked. Thinking his employer
had oversight, he went around to
the Berman home and awakened
the son, Maurice. Heintzman then
went back to the store, and, with
three policemen, tried to force an
entrance.
While they were still trying to
get in, Maurice Berman arrived
and led them through a back door
into q small kitchen in the rear Of
the shop. A trapdoor had wedged
the door closed.
Berman Found Dead
When entrance was finally
gained, the body Of the butcher
was found lying upon its back,
with the head suspended over
the trap. "A IOng-bIaded cheese
knife was embedded in the
stomach, just below the chest.
From the position of Mr.. Ber-
mans hands he had evidently
tried in his dying movements to
withdraw the weapon.
The handle of the knife was
covered with cheesecloth, ap-
parently in an effort to hide
finger prints. Nearby lay a small
hatchet, with the handle similarly
wrapped. There was no blood
c:l the h;.tchet.
Blood Trail Found
Police found a small amount Of
change scattered over the floor.
A trail of blood led out through
a window. In the alley police
found Mr.. Berman's empty wallet.
Mr.. Berman's family lived at
119 Somers Drive, Alexandra.
Members Of the family left for
Baltimore upon being informed
Of the murder.
Details Are Lacking
About four years ago Mr.. Ber.
man had a store on King Street
in Alexandria. Records Of the
police department do not reveal
the details of the hold-up Of the
store, but two or three men en-
tered the shop early one morning
while Berman and his daughter
Libby were there. They held up
and robbed the storekeeper.
Later, the daughter, while
travelling to Washington, recOg-
mixed the men ON the road and
caused their arrest.
Shortly after the robbery Mr..
Berman moved his store to st.
Asaph's Street, but bad luck fol-
lowed him and in 1928 it burned
down. Then he moved to Balti-
more.

Three Big Rivers on Rampage
and Hundreds Of Bodies
Ride Crest; Horror Grows


SHAN Hal, Aug. 22.-The
water dragon, dread monster Of
Chinese imagination, claimed his
thousands Of victims again today
as the Yangtze, Hwai and Kwei
Rivers continued to spread over
vast sections Of inland China.
HankOw, the Paris of inland
China, was . city Of dreadful
night, where the Yangtze pushed
higher. and higher to an unpre-
cedented level Of So feet, threat
ening to destroy the entire city.
as well as its neighbOrS, Hanyang
and Wuchang.
Pestilence Is Feared
With hundreds Of bodies borne
on the crest Of the flood, an.
other fatal Wis q mt. ,pestilence,
was adding hor1 r. to horror.
Estimates Of the homeless, were
placed today as high as 50,000.-
900, for the rich Yangtze valley,
like that Of the Nile, was densely
populated.
According to reports received in
Shanghai, more than a thousand
persons were drowned in WI
chang, sister city of Hankow. ORR
entail fatalisnl had added to the
death toll, many Chinese impaS'
sively waiting for death without
attempting to escape. Soldiers
took many by force from the
roofs Of houses, steering sampan's
through labyrinth Of streets.
Red Bandits Active
Thousands were said to be dying
daily Of dysentery and typhoid
fever and authorities feared an
outbreak of cholera.
An added menace to. the la-
rasSed population came from Red
bandits, who, with the govern.
ment helpless, have looted and
pillaged without restraint.

On information supplied by the

Mcpherson had previously at
tempted suicide following argu-
1nentS with her husband. ..
Evidence later discovered, how

Jury and Mcpherson, who was
said to have paid a nocturnal
visit to his apartment shortly
before her death, was indicted on
q charge Of first degree murder.

At the same time, the Grand
Jury recommended that 1nSpec-
tor William s. Shelby, chief Of
detectives, and Lieut.. Edward M.
Kelly, then in charge Of the
homicide squad, be dismissed
from the police department for
tncompetency.

&c was discovered that q member
Of the jury had been ineligible to
serve. After an extensive investi-
cation by the Department Of

Of the slain girls body by emf

Rise and FaIl Of Allen
Robert j. Allen, a super-sleuth-
Ing private in the police depart
ment, who attempted to prove
that Virginia Mcpherson was
murdered, won fame and dis
n1iSsal through the case. His in
veStigations, while on and off
duty. and his criticisms Of his
Superiors caused him to be dis
missed. but it was largely due to
his efforts that the first Grand
Jury returned its indictment.
Mcpherson, whose mother and
father were remarkable examples
Of parental devotion during his
investigation by police and his
days in jail following indictment,
has not advised his parents Of
his forthcoming marriage, he said.
They have been away for the
summer, and Mcpherson believes
it best not to tell them of his
plan until their return.
