 Planning September meals is an easy matter if you use originality and imagination, for each of the delicious fall vegetables tempts us by it's own perfection. Vegetable cookery should continue to be stressed both this month and the next. Frequently q well-planned vegetable combination, containing a small amount of meat or fish, will serve acceptably as main dish for luncheon or supper.
 Veal outlets with stuffed sweet peppers is an excellent dish for A September dinner. Serve it with a tomato and cucumber salad and fresh fruit dessert.

The girl reused herself. "No. l love that"
 Kelly touched his hat in friend " greeting as Give helped her in- 10 the car. Wrapped in her furs she lay back watching the glf1n mer and play of the motors on the avenue. The street was like q black lane of waters along which the lights flashed red and green. red and green.
 A girl stood at the crossing, clutching d thin coat about her. Her envious gaze took in the trio in the car-the young man. so stern Tipped and handsome in his gleaming hat, the girl, languid above her ermine, the dowager, with silver hair.
 Liane watched the girl on the curb as a thin young man dart cd out of the service entrance of q great building and slipped a hand under her arm. Give, too, had ob- served the lovers rendezvous. It was q little drama in a side street. The boy and girl drifted on, hap pily.. aimlessly. Probably they had nowhere to go. They might seek movie palace and hold hands.
 There but for the grace of God, go l." Liane reflected. She thought That girl has her man. She may shiver but she's happy"
 Gives mother was asking a question. The girl had not heard. She reused herself to listen.
 Above the sea of bobbing heads in the opera house they sat, aloof, apart. The lights died away and the music began tentatively, soft ly. The rustling of programs, like a summer breeze, dwindled to a hush. The curtain rose.
 Liane had been bored by opera. Tonight there seemed something infinitely touching about the story of the little dressmaker and her love. The music tore at her heart, reminded her of what she had lost irrevocably. once she stole 8 glance at her husband. He sat with arms folded, his head droop- ing. She looked away quickly. There was a defenseless quality about his pose that touched her deeply.
 She forgot that the singer play ing Mimi was sadly overweight and no longer young, that the Rudolph had long ago lost his claim to manly beauty. She forgot that the piece was make believe. The notes seemed to drip with honeyed sweetness. They were a part of the haunting fragrance of the gardenias on her shoulder
 Softly she touched her eyelids with the fragile handkerchief she carried. The poignancy of Minis love seemed unendura ble.
 
 It was hard after that to return to reality and the brilliantly lighted auditorium. Her mother in-Iaw's briskly efficient gathering up of the party jared on her lit- tie. She longcd for dark and quiet in which 10 compose her thoughts.

iexpect to see you at II tomorrow Liane was glad to be alone in the car with Give. He didn't chatter He was a darling really. She smiled at him. Almost she decided to tell him of her encounter that day No, better not. Better to leave things as they were. Give said abruptly, I'm afraid you get tired of all this" Tired of what?" "Oh, 1t seems to me you have a rather duh time of it. Not much gaiety. I'm fast turning into old American business man, myself" She widened her eyes at him. "I could be lots buster but you mustn't sympathize with me on that account" She smiled, think ing of Van across the tea table from her that afternoon. How the time had flown"
 I'm brushing up on my French" she told Give. And I've made resolution to take long walks. It's running my figure hav- ing the car always at my beck and call. Hadn't you noticed?"
 His stern lips relaxed a little.

 She laughed and was startled at the fierce look be turned upon her, at the grimness of his tone.
 You little devil. I believe you're teasing mel
 She felt those strong hands again on her shoulders. Her mouth opened in a frightened cry. "Clive, I tr |, ,af mean."
 His blue eyes burned into hers. "I wonder if you don't"
 She shook herself free. "I don't know what gets into you some times. You behave as if you hated me almost"
 The young man frowned at her. 'I'm sorry. l wish l did some times"
 There was a film of tears in her eyes. Her mouth had a bruised, bewildered look.
 She thought, "Van wouldn't treat me like this. Van is so gentle. Even his voice is silky" She said choking little, You've spoiled my nice evening. l was happy, listening to that music"
 She determined not to tell him now of her afternoons venture. If he could be so horrid she would punish him for it. And she would see Van again if she liked. At least he didn't behave as though she were a culprit.
 Give asked her pardon when they parted for the night She granted 1t but her heart was heavy and sore.

NANCY PAGE Simple Curtain Are
 Always Effective
By Florence La Ganke

In the automobile trips which the Page family took they fre- quently stopped at small farm houses for buttermilk or eggs or broilers. Occasionally the woman of the house was not too rushed to visit a bit and to enjoy Nancy's enthusiastic comments about the house or the view.
 It was on one of these trips that Nancy saw two ideas for curtains which she immediately wanted to use in her own home. But since she had no curtains that were wearing out she drew small sketches of the curtain and filed the sketch and the idea for later use. C
 In a bed room which was pap cred with creom wall paper stud ded with blue stars the. windows were hung with unbleached mus lin curtains
 The quality was only medium since the extra good is too dense and thick to look pretty when hung.

But these curtains were glorified with a trimming of blue-bright blue-ball fringe. And the bed was an old one painted skipper blue. The effect of the room was simple and charming.
 In the living room which was done in red and white with touches of puttp and black the curtains were made of white cheesecloth. They had heading which slipped over the rod. The tie backs and trimmed with two rows of red rick rack braid. The braid was set in the edge. The second row was in about four inches.
 The tic backs were finished with a bow. Nancy thought she would like to have seen the old fashioned glass hold backs.
 She realized that the curtains were not overturned and that they

WHY SHOULDN'T THEY CUT
WAGES?
By SCOTT NEARING, Federated Press

By SCOTT NEARING, Federated Press
Wages are being cut right and left, all over the
United States. Last winter the big bosses made
some promises to William Green and other Ameri-
can Federation of Labor Spokesman. If labor CO.
operated in meeting the crisis, wages would not be
cut. Labor did cooperate. At least the American
Federation of Labor did. Yet the bosses have not
kept their promise. After all, why should they?
Why shouldn't the bosses cut wages? They
have things all their way, and there is no one
to hold them to account.
Since 1920 the ruling class in the United States
has been telling the workers that they did not need
their unions leave it to u.s." the propaganda
said. "Rely us. Well see that you get turkey
Tor thanksgiving, a wage bonus for Christmas,
and steady work through the year. Well lend
You the money with which to buy house. a car,
neat set of furniture radio set. Rely on us,
we'll look out for your interests. Unions? Work
ers don't need unions. Their real friends are the
bosses. Well do everything for you that unions
could do, and then some"
For ten years the American workers have been
listening to these arguments repeated in every
form and under every guise that the advertising
genius of the American ruling class could conceive
And millions of them were convinced. Did they
not have the goods that proved the argument?
Houses, cars, radio sets?
So they dropped out of their unions and turned
a deaf ear TO the men and women who warned
them of the rocks ahead The new struggling
militant unions received scant support. The older
unions lost membership. Where necessary, to the
persuasion of propaganda the ruling class added
the riot clubs and gas bombs of the police.
The union officials joined chambers of COM
merce. supported millionaires for public office
Stocks crashed in the fall of 1929 Unemploy-
ment mounted to gigantic proportions. Workers
lost their pobs, their homes their cars their radio
sets, their insurance policies. They were standing
in long lines at factory gates, begging for an OPP
portunity to work.
Why shouldn't the bosses cut wages? The
American workers have abandoned their one
source of strength militant labor movement
Why shouldn't they cut wages? For each man
working, who threatens to quit, there are a Dozen
a hundred, thousand, just as efficient waiting,
eager, clamoring to take his place.
A good period for American exploiters is 1890
81. By careful handling of the labor market
they can cut billions from the total annual pay
roll; undersell their foreign competitors; reduce
production COSTS pile up added wealth and profits;
grind the masses into the mud of starvation and
terror.
And then-but that is another story raising the
spectre OF Communism, haunting the dreams of
Hamilton Fish, Mathew Vol and the other agents
of capitalism-a story of 1888 or 1885 or 1910
This is only 193O-31 with the masses of the
American workers at the mercy of a prOfit-mad
ruling class.
Why shouldn't they cut wages?

his party only, and can vote for such candidates
Tor nomination as may be on that ticket.
Ihls disclosed party affiliation binds the voter
IN his future political activities at least for that
campaign.
There is no reason why republican should help
nominate democratic candidate or vica versa, nor
why farmer-laborite should help either of the
capltallstlc parties to nominate their candidates
none on earth In fact it is positively dishonest
1t confuses and befuddles the voters and makes
politics chaotic.
The law should be passed
And over in the house, Rep Fairgrave has in
PRODUCED bill to repeal the primaries altogether
This is better yet
The primaries are costly. They are costly to the
voters and taxpayers and to the candidates. They
have not purified politics nor restored the gov
eminent to the people accomplished one thing
their proponents cOntended, but they have done
much damage and instead of correcting the faults
OF the convention have only added vices where
virtues were before. They serve no good purpose
except to promote the interest of lot of straddl-
ing self seeking place hunters, who always
handicapped by any principle, who seek office on
a purely personal basis, for personal glory and
profit and in most instances represent no one and
are responsible to one but themselves and their
Immediate political interests: they favor anything
that is popular and support nothing unpopular in
their constituencies
In regard to state and national offices no one
without money or support of those who have
money can become candidate for party nomna-
ton successfully. 1t takes lot of money to win
a nomination and the one with the biggest Dot is
usually successful.
Instead of breaking control of special interests
they have increased, it many fold
The primaries operate against the formation of
parties about the spool of principle by decoying
the voter into the blind alleys of personal demo-
gogic factions. Were it not for the primary svs-
tenn we would now have mass class farmer-la-
Dor party in the northwest in major position in
stead OF a number of personal factions supporting
Wheeler, Frazier, LaFollette and Norris that will
ever get anywhere, and these men instead of lead
ing the masses to defeat and dispair would be lead
ing parties based on some principle or would be in
private life where they belong.
Not one of the above men who are looked upon
as the peoples saviOrs, place principle above or
party interests above, personal success and each
considers his election more important than
the promotion of party.
In this world man is nothing and principle is ev-
erything, and principle is put into operation thru
the means of the party.
So close the primaries, or better yet, repeal
them and return to the convention system for
bad they they are better than primaries
and their attendant corruption.
The coventions promote party and party disci-
pline while the primaries destroy t-and a demo-
cracy cannot function except by and thru a party.
Without party the people have no voice at all
and are at the tender mercies of gangs of dema-
gogues.

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF
