THE ARMY OF BEGINNERS

>. The. yogung, people Just quitting
schools and colleges, what an army
OF beginners at the worlds work they
make! How many are there of
them? Well. there are about &c.
100000 now enrolled in public
schools, 100000 in parochial and
private schools, and 100000 in col
leges. 1t is a fair guess that 10 per
cent quit study each year and go to
work. If so, we have about 100000
Youngsters about to make a start.
What shall we do with them?
They can't find work for any such
number, many will say. But prOba-
bly, a quarter to a third of them live
on farms, where there is plenty for
them to do. Many girls will stay at
home for the present, and there is
plenty they can do. As death and
disabilities cause vacancies in the
industries and business, chances for
beginners are always showing up.
How go about it for a job? There
is only one known way, to ask for
it. Don't spare your leg muscle in
tramping around to stores and Of
fees. Don't be afraid to walk into
any place of business and ask for it.
The employer may be bothered with
his troubles, may seem cross and
crusty, but really he is glad to see
your bright and youthful face. He
is all the time looking for promising
young folks. He knows he will need
such ones some day. If you have
given evidence of alertness and
energy, he will keep you in mind.
1t is persistence that lands job.
Those who get discouraged and quit
after being turned down a few times
will never get far in this world. Just
keep trying and some day you will |
hear of something.
Don't expect much pay at the be-
ginning, in these times anyway. And |
make it absolutely clear you are
willing to do any kind of work. Peo-
pie who are fussy about their job |
are not too popular now.

A TIME OF OPPORTrNITY

The present is a time of very fine
opportunity. Business is reviving
and people are buying more freely
1t is necessary for family and busi-
ness welfare for people to buy now,
because prices will in all probable
ity be much higher in a few months.
But to convince people that that
is so will take some persuasion. The
people should be shown by adver-
tising that prices are still very low,
that they are likely to be higher
soon, that the advanced prices on
raw materials and labor make sub
stantial advances in the prices of
goods inevitable within short time.
By advertising, they can be shown
that If they buy now, they get the
advantage of the old level of prices,
which can't last.

ROOSEyELT's SWIM POOL

One very fine story in the recent
news has been that of the gift by
which many admirers of President
Roosevelt provided funds to con-
struct a very nice swimming pool
in the White House office building.
Swimming in warm water pool has
been highly beneficial to Mr.. Roose-
welt, in his struggles with physical
handicaps. The daily use of this
pool should do much to help him
bear his almost crushing RESPONSE
bilities.
The presentation of this pool can
also be considered a gift to the ma
tion. Our Presidents have a task
that grows more nearly impossible
each year. We load our burdens on
their strong backs, and expect them
to carry all that weight, but it is too
much for any one man. Most of our
recent Presidents have not lived long
after their terms ended. The strain
was too much. They need all such
as this pool will supply.
The Washington climate, which is
hot and stuffy for four months in
the year. makes their hard job still
worse. Future Presidents will find
the use of this pool very comforting
through the steaming days of sum-
mer.
The way President Roosevelt re-
covered from the afflictiOn that |
threatened to make him a helpless
Invalid. is a marvellous story of |
courage and will power. He could
never have done it without capac-
ty for the most prolonged and pa
lent effort. And now while suffer-
ng from a slight muscular trouble
hat impedes his motions, his health
5 fine, and he has a vigor and vital
ty far beyond the average.
His triumph over handicaps is an
Impressive challenge to people who
uffer from any physical limitations,
ot to lie down under these troubles,
nut to combat them and overcome
hem. Mr.. Roosevelt has fairly earn
d the gift of such a pool, even if
O future President ever cared to
lake use of it.

LET'S THANK TEACHER

AS the teachers of Delaware finish
the years work, parents and chill
dren should say "Thank you" to
them, and wish them a happy sum-
mer. Some people say teachers lead
an easy life, with long vacations and
no school Saturdays. Yet if these
critics were put in charge of a school
room, which is usually on the point
of revolution at frequent intervals,
they would say they had done a
weeks work by Monday noon. 1t
takes some resourcefulness to han
die all those stubborn little wills.
In many schools which closed ear
ly this year, the teachers have had
more vacation than they want. But
they aren't sitting around idle. You
will find them cooking dinners,
planting gardens, doing whatever
needs to be done.
Many of them use their supposed
rest time in hard study, getting
ready to do better work. II it was
not for their sustained enthusiasm,
the average child would skin through
school with little work done.
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-16
STOCK MARKET ADVANCES

1t is not healthy for the people
to watch the stock market too much.
Still advances in securities. if with
in reason. do help business, just as
excessive declines hurt trade. The
big slump of 1929 caused such great
stock market losses, that countless
people stopped buying goods, which
was the originating cause of the
great depression.
Now we see the reverse of that
process. A large number of people
have seen their stocks and bonds go
up, which gives them courage to buy
things. Also the bond lists of good
many banks, which looked pretty
sick a few months ago, appear quite
respectable after recent advances.
All which helps to loosen up credit,
and start paralyzed activity.

THE SHOW AT
WASHINGTON

= Congress is staging one of thu
biggest shows Washington has seeI
' in years. 1t is a sell-out perform
ance, packed even to the galleries
. and bids fair to run much Longer
even than Congress had expected.
Taxes occupy the center of the
: stage. The plot hinges on how tC
, obtain more revenue without seem
ling to increase taxes, or how to in
crease taxes without seeming to take
more revenue from the public's pock-
etboOk.
Income taxes, the old standby of
Congress and all the others who
though the other fellow was paying
them, have become unpopular since
tax experts of the House of Morgan
revealed how easily, and legally,
they could be avoided. The revela-
tion met with no popular reception,
for the average taxpayer lacked the
benefit of expert advice.
Higher gasoline taxes, another old
standby, have become almost as un-
popular. Federal levies upon this
commodity are arousing resentment
! in the states, which are having plen-
ty of trouble with their own tax
problems, and the below of state
officials has resounded in the ears
of Congressman too deaf to hear the
squeaks of strangled motorists. Even
governors rolled up their sleeves
when Congress proposed a federal
gasoline tax for Is years to amOrtize
. AF nf In
dustrial Recovery Bill. The cOntem-
plated%c per gallon levy was whit
tied down to 1ac. but even that
would cost the states more than one
billion dollars, or about two and one
half times as much as they would
get from the bills 100000 ap-
preparations for roads.
Not a few members of Congress
would like to turn to general
manufacturers sales tax. The man
ufacturers' sales tax. The manufac-
turers themselves have asked for it.
And undoubtedly it is the only levy
that would permit balancing of the
budget, as the President has de-
manded. and leave enough over to
finance the cost of the $3,300,000,000
Industrial Recovery Bill, veteran
payments, farm relief, and other pro-
jects.
However, many members of Con-
gress went into office on an anti
sales tax platform, and they are not
anxious to point with pride today
at what yesterday they viewed with !
alarm on the stage of the home
town opera house is something again. |
Still they may come to it. There |
is some hope President Roosevelt !
will impose another strain upon his |
good luck and make personal ap-
peal for a general sales tax. That
might add another act to the Con-
gressional show. a knOck-dOwn,
fight growing out of an in
cipient revolt already evident.
Be that as it may, both President
and Congress are beseiged with de-
mands for sales tax, and the voices
Of those previously opposed rise high
amid the clamor. Economics is an
if expensive, teacher and
has taught well the les
son that it is far easier to get every
)ne to pay a sales tax of two cents
IN the dollar than to try to collect
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-16

rs cents from few wealthy enough
to know how to escape.
One act naturally is given over to
farm relief proposals. Some relief
measures are safely through, but
there are matters of farm mort
cages, farm prices, and so an ad in
finitum to remind Congress that this
country's largest industry wants to
be remembered as a preferred
client" The Corn Belt" clientele
wants Congress to investigate the
possibility of reviVing the corn
growers and alcohol distillers, at the
expense of the motorist and the
petroleum industry, by requiring the
blending of agricultural alcohol with
gasoline motor fuel. The proposal
roundly and generally has been de-
nOunced as impractical and unneces-
sary. But it lives on, with even its
sponsors admitting it is, at the best,
an indirect means of benefiting any
one and that there is a possibility of
gasoline consumers being unable to
afford fuel whose price is dependent
upon rising corning quotations, when
there is a plethora of gasoline avail
able at the lowest prices in history.
This project also involves tax to
Offset the price advantage of straight
gasoline, and since the levy would
accrue to the federal government it
finds as little favor in the states as
the other federal levy. Even the
members of Congress say they
would like to find a tax that does
not impose another burden upon mo-
tor fuel, and then revert longingly
to talk of general sales tax.

THE AGE OF ADVENTURE

The age of adventure is dead, say
some. People read of the old days
when boys would run away from
home to fight Indians, or hunt buffa-
loes, or they would run away to go
to sea. But now the frontier is all
settled, and the boys don't seem
much interested in seafaring, but
they still feel the same iner long
ing for adventure.
Aviation supplies it to them more
than anything else now. Innumer-
able boys are dreaming of great
stunts in airplanes. This expand
ing field offers opportunities for
some, but a great many boys are
dreaming Of sensational adventure,
who are not fitted for any such
stunts. They dream so much of
great exploits, that they are in dan
ger of missing plain and simple op-
portunities within their reach.
Milford chronicle., 1933-06-16
BLESSINGS OF LABOR

A young man who had been out
of work rushed into his home the
other day, and shouted at, the top OF
his voice, I've got a job. If five
years ago, he had been told that
someone had given him a million
dollars, he would have shown no
more enthusiasm. The job he had
landed was nothing so much, but
the mere fact of any kind of regular
work made him happy. The joy
which he felt was a revelation of the
changed spirit of these days.
People are realizing what a bless
ing work is. In former years, they
were generally Indifferent about
work. Il had rather suffer severe
pain than work., a gentleman of
high culture and literary attain
ments once said. Such aversion to
toll was common. Many people
argued that work was a kind of
curse visited upon the race. They
dreamed of the day when technical
progress would make it needless to
work more than an hour or two
day. so they could devote the rest of
their time to pursuits that really in
terested them.
In former days, a great many en-
ployees were needless about their
tasks. The business that employed
them suffered because of their lack
of loyal devotion.
After an experience of unemploy-
ment, or of fear of losing jobs, many |
people have been led to see that
work is the normal expression OF
human energy, that people are hap
pier when they are working. An
idle life is pernicious. and apt to be
followed by physical and often men
tai weakening.
AS the country RECEIVERS from
partial industrial prostratiOn, let us
nope that this saner view of work
will become permanent. Let us all
lere in Milford and all of Delaware
axe hold of whatever task has been
,iven us with keen interest, and a
esire to perform it as perfectly as
,ossible, In that way, we shall not
merely increase human welfare, but
ssure our own best development.

INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY

The signs of industrial recovery
have become so marked that no one
can doubt their reality. The eco
nomic storm is clearing away, the
sun is shining, and years of heavy
clouds are fast breaking up
One factor that is producing ac-
tivity, is the depleted state of mer-
chandise stocks. 1t has been the re-
port from countless dealers, that
their supplies of goods had been cut
to a minimum never known before.
Customers have often had to travel
from shop to shop to get some staple
pattern or size of goods. Just as
soon as a buying wave appeared,
these merchants found their shelves
very empty. Their assOrtments must
have been so low that they lost
many sales. 1t can be assumed that
thousands of merchants, realizing
that this condition was hurting their
business, have been sending hurry
up messages to the factories and
wholesalers.
Low commodity prices led many
concerns to feel that the time had
come to stock up for future needs,
and avoid paying price advances.
Prices are still below normal. Con-
Germs that have not laid in consid-
cradle stocks are likely to get nip
ped on higher prices.
We are on the straight path to
better times. and many wrong con-
ditions that worked mischief in for
mer years are being abolished.

FOOD AND THRIFT IN THE HOME

let stand Tor q minute, skim, and pour
quickly Into tumblers. Cover immedi-
ately with hot parafhn, and again when
cooled. In this manner some unique
combinations of ingredients may be
worked out, according to personal taste
and materials at hand. You are always
sure that the mixture will get into o
firm, yet tender jelly by the use Of
liquid pectin. Directions accompanying
this fruit product should be carefully
followed, as 1t Is very concentrated In
its jelly-making ability.
Picked Fruits.
There are several methods Of picking
fruit. II the fruit Is small, like cher
ries or grapes. the process consists, in
fruit with solution Of vinegar and
water in equal parts and allowing 1t
to stand overnight. It is then drained
and packed with sugar in alternate lay
ers, using equal quantities Of sugar and
fruit. In the case Of grapes. hot sirup
made by boiling three parts Of sugar
and two parts Of vinegar for i've min
utes Is poured over them. Whole
punches OF grapes may be prepared In
this way.
If the fruit is large and contains con-
siderable tissue, as in apples and
peaches, 1t may be cooked as for pre-
serving except that the sirup in which
1t Is cooked Is made Of sugar and vine
gar and spices. In the case Of water
melon or cantaloupe rind. the rind Is
soaked over night in a brine, using one
fourth cupful Of salt to one quart Of
water. 1t Is then drained and cooked
In water until it is tender. The fruit
is then transferred to spiced vinegar
and sugar sirup. cooked until 1t Is clear
and transparent, and cealed in clean,
hot jars.
Discard all blemished. broken or
bruised parts Of fruits and vegetables
to be picked. Avoid slow cooking.
Cook rapidly in q porcelain, agate or
enamel kettle. Store In q cool, dark
place. This reduces danger Of spelling.
Sweet Picked Fruit-Mix four pounds
Of sugar with one quart Of vinegar, one
ounce Of stick cinnamon and one-half
ounce of whole cloves. Bring to boiling
and simmer for 10 minutes. Add eight
pounds of peaches, pears or crab ap-
Piles. Peaches should be scalded and
peeled, pears should be peeled and left
whole with the stems on, and crab
apples should be culled and washed
and should have the blossom ends re-
moved Put the fruit into the sirup
and cook until soft. fill into jars, par
TALLY sealed, and process In hot water
bath for i've minutes.

Bringing Out Coffee Flavor
BY EDITH M. BARBER

buy vacuum packed, ground coffee,
which Is freshly roasted at center
and distributed to various stores several
times q week. or we can buy coffee
dated" on its day Of roasting and
grinding. OF course, we ourselves must
see that it does not get stale in the
kitchen If there are but two in the
family and you use coffee only once q
day, it is better to buy by the half
pound. even If you pay more.
Now, to make coffee-we know much
more about its making now than we
did a few years ago 1t must be made
Is to be used, whether you use q drip
pot or o percolator or q plain boiled
coffee" pot. Most experts tell US that
the drip method bring out the true
flavor Of the percolated or boiled coffee,
and these are both very good If the
processes are short. We used to perco-
late coffee 20 minutes and have now
cut the time down to or minutes
Every one admits that nothing ever
tastes 80 good or smells so good as
picnic cofYee-usually made with cold
wattr. One reason 1t tastes so good is
that 1t is usually served just as soon
as it boils. You have noticed how long
1t seems to take that pot over the
Goals to boil.
In selecting q brand Of coffee. you
will find that some are heavier" than
others because Of the blend Of the
coffee berries used in them and because
of differences in the length Of time Of
roasting. You usually find yourself
sticking to one brand, which your taste
approves. Most Of the we'll known
brands are consistent In flavor, and this
gives them return customers.
To get perfect beverage do not try
to encourage coffee by percolating or
boiling 1t longer or by pouring the drip
coffee through second time. To OBJ
tain extra flavor or strength use more
heavier coffee The caffeinless coffees
need more care in making up than
regular coffee.
For each serving allow one Turkish
coffee cup Of water and one teaspoonful
of sugar; place in q pot and bring to
q boil. Beat in with q spoon one
rounded teaspoonful Of powdered coffee.
Let 1t boil up once and serve 1mme-
diately.
Standard Recipe.
To Zone rounding) tablespoonfuls OF
ground coffee to one measuring cup OF
for a moderately strong coffee OF a
medium roast.
Iced Coffee.
Pour freshly made coffee over cracked
ice and serve with either plain or whip
ped cream or with both.
