DERHAPS one OF the most at
i fractive ways to serve eggs is
in omelets. For breakfast. lunch
con or late supper, they always ap-
pear 10 good advantage. Plain or
with n sauce. delicate omelet is
sure TO please.
There is no mysterious secret or
lndescribable trick connected with
omelet making. Anyone who is
willing TO measure accurately and
take the trouble of cooking care
fully can make a perfect omelet.
To be sure certain precautions
must be taken, but the rules are
simple and easy 10 follow.
Remember that an omelet must
never be allowed 10 stand AT any
stage of its preparation. II must
be mixed quickly. cooked at once
and served on a hot dish as soon
as il is done.
With two types of omelets and
their numerous variations the
hostess has a wide choice. The
French omelet is made by beating
the whole eggs while the puffy
omelet is made by beating the
whites and yolks separately. The
French usually is served with a
filing of some sort spread over it
just before folding. The puffy ONE
let often Is served with a jelly
or sometimes a sauce is poured
around after folding. However,
there is no set rule" regarding
this and the types are used inter-
changeably. The puffy omelet
seems a bit more impressive and
interesting when served, but is no
harder 10 make than the plain one.
The addition of tapioca to
puffy omelet helps TO keep ii from
falling and is a modern innova-
tion.
AS in all egg and milk mixtures,
the cooking temperature is i'm
portant. Too intense heat will
cause the omelet TO be- watery,
leathery and tough. The omelet
pan must be hot enough TO begin
TO cook the mixture at once and an
even heat must be maintained. The
pan is hot enough when the but
ter used to grease il begins 10
bubble.

Child Labor Less

IN comparison of labor statistics Of 1880 and
] 1920 show at leas. one beneficial effect OF
the loss of employment in this country. Fewer
children are to be found working while the
percentage of the adult workers. that is those
between the ages of 20 and 64. is greater. The
total of all workers from the age Of 10 up in
1880 represented 49.5 per cent of all OF that
age while in 1920 the total represented per-
centage of sos per cent Actually. there
were 1900 900 more reported gainfully employed
in 1890 than in 1920. according to Bureau Of
Census figures.
Out of a total population over the age OF 10
in 1890 of 90 723 900. 4s 1923 900 were gainfully
employed while in 1920. out Of 82739 00O
slightly more than 41,614.00o were employed.
Taking the groups by ages 1880 shows
steady falling off of unemployment group by
group until the age of 20 is reached, when
1880 forges ahead in the percentage tables In
the case of both male and female this holds
true although 1880 as total shows greater
percentage of women working than did 1920.

Feec Control Crop Sales

THE handling OF the products Of the millions
of farmers in the United States IS done by
q comparatively few individuals who, through
their organized buying power are In position
to dictate to a large extent what these farmers
are to get for their products For instance.
according to William F. Schilling, member of
the Federal Farm Board, four companies con-
troll about 80 per cent of all the tobacco grown
in this country. Five companies so dominate
the milk market that they are in a position
amounting almost to a dictatorship of milk
prices. Forty per cent Of the cotton grown in
this country is sold to three dealers, SO per
cent of the wool to 10 men and 40 per cent of
the live stock to four companies.
This concentration of buying power is largely
the reason for the Farm Boards activity in
stimulating the growth Of the farm co-opera-
tives in order that the farmer might have the
same concentrated selling power as the middle
man now has in the way of buying power. 1t
Is estimated now that fully . million and a
quarter farmers in dozen or more important
lines are members of cooperative selling organ
1zations the majority Of them having Joined
up since 1929 when the board began its intensive
drive to build up the organizations.

that he would be sworn in on that day In
the case of Taylor, the oath was administered
on the NTH"
A LTHOUGH the writer saw Mr.. Hayes take
the oath of Office at the east front of the
Capitol March 5, 1877. after having taken it
two days earlier in the White House, as stated
before. yet there is little he can recall, except
the immense jam of people and the fact that q
gentleman accompanying his eldest sister held
aim up in order that he might see the President
take the oath. The number of troops in the
procession was unusually large, due no doubt at
least in part. as a precautionary me Asure.

Col. N. B. Fugitt. Col. J. K Barnes. and Col.

tain of the 1st Cavalry Battalion, N. G. D. c. NJ,
and no doubt turned out to do honor to the new
President.
Another thing that adds difficulty to the fore
casting of an election is the last-minute change
OF sentiment such as We had in 1884, in the
campaign of Cleveland and Hendricks and
Blaine and Logan. Up until short while before
the ballots were counted, the Republicans
acknowledged to be far in the lead, but after
Mr.. Burchard referred. undiplomatically, to
Rum Romanism and Rebellion" the stock of
Blaine and Logan took decided slump and the
Democrats came out victorious with elec-
toral vote Of 219 to their opponents 1872
When Mr. Lincoln was up for reelection in
1864. he was satisfied at one time that Gen.

the Summer At last towards the end of Au-
gust. the general gloom and depression en-
veloped the President himself .. For mo-
ment he despaired of the success of the Union
party in the coming election. He was not alone
in this impression. 1t was shared by his lead
ing friends and counselors. So experienced and
astute politician as Thurlow Weed wrote on
the 22d of August: When 10 days since, I
told Mr.. Lincoln that his reelection was
an impossibility. I also told him that the
information would soon come to him through
other channels. 1t has doubtless ere this
reached him. At any rate nobody here doubts
it. nor do I see anybody from other States who
authorizes the slightest hope CT success >"
FEELING that campaign was going against
! him. Mr. Lincoln we are told, made up his
mind deliberately as to the course he should
pursue and unwilling to leave his resolution to
the chances Of the changed mood which might
follow in the natural evaporation of defeat. he
resolved to lay down for himself the action he
would pursue in case Of his defeat.
On the 13d of August. 1864, he. therefore.
wrote the following memorandum:
This morning. as for some days past, it
seems exceedingly probable that this admins
tration will not be reelected. Then it will be
my duty to 50 cooperate with the President
elect to save the Union between the election
and the Inauguration; as he will have secured
his election on such grounds that he cannot
possibly save 1t afterwards"
And, according to his bographers: He then
folded and pasted the sheet in such manner
that its contents could not be read, and the
cabinet came together he handed this paper to
zach member successfully. requesting them to
write their names across the back of it."
After the election he had one of his secre-
taries open the paper and read its contents,
after which the President said
You will remember that this written at
;he time six days before the Chicago nominating
convention, when as yet we had no adversary
and seemed to have no friends. / then solemnly
resolved on the course of action indicated in
this paper I resolved in case of the election Of
Gen. Mcclellan, being certain that he would be

the candidate that I would see him and talk
matters over with him. would say. General.
the election has demonstrated that you are
stronger, have more influence with the Amer
lean people than I. Now let US together you
with your influence and with all the executive
power of the Government try to save the coun-
try. You raise as many troops as you possibly
can for this final trial and will devote all my
energies to assist and finish the war"
So it is not always possible for us to say
just when we are going to be able to tell who
has been elected President, nor can we always
be too sure of the apparently leading candidate
maintaining his position until the end.
It is always better judgment to bet on
presidential election the day after one.
