~ which she followed with mill
tary precision. Dick co-operatetd
with her to the best of his ability.
Dick was even-tempered through
it all. The truth was that he wor-
ried over Eve. She seemed restless
and often looked tired. True, they
had been married only a few weeks
crowded, anxious weeks in spite
Of their happiness. He decided Eve
must be working too hard at the
Office and told her SO.

him. But after working in an Of

Presently he arose. cleared the table
and stacked and washed the dishes.
He did not go near Eve.
After while she arose, went into
the bathroom and bathed her eyes.
Then she filled a bowl with suds
and washed out some stockings and
lingerie. She had intended TO do
this task in the morning, after Dick
had left for the days work. But she
was in a perverse mood tonight.
DICK went TO bed. He heard Eve
H turn on the living room lamp
and rustic the evening paper. Then
he drifted into troubled sleep. Eve
wakened him. Dick" she said in
low voice, I'm sorry"
Nothing to be sorry for" he
answered. He had had time to
think things out.

with finality. We had tough

BANK HOLIDAY EXTENDED;
HEARING ON BILL BEGUN

! ceedings committees, with a plea
that the legislation be approved as
soon as the lawmakers have a shance
to satisfy themselves that the pro-
posed legislation is the best which
can be perfected, at least temporari-
ly.
Leaders of both houses today were
busying themselves studying the pro-
visions of the original proposal,
drawn up yesterday and revised
somewhat today. They also were
preparing the way for early hearings
and the expedition of consideration
of the proposal. After a recess
from its original session today, how
ever, the House adjourned until l
p. M, tomorrow, precluding final dis
position of the measure until at least
that hour.
The bill was introduced in the
Senate this afternoon and it was the
announced plan of leaders to have
the House and Senate committees sit
in the hearings and closed sessions
together so that as soon as the Sen
ate takes action on the bill, it can be
sent to the House and the necessity
of referring it to committee in that
body will be obviated.
Amendments Proposed
Proposals for several amendments
in the measure were presented by
some of the witnesses appearing be-
fore the committee hearing.
Governor Richie Explains
In opening the hearing Governor
Richie related the history of the
situation relative to the proclama-
ton of the bank holiday in the state,
explaining that when he was first
called into the conference of bank
ers, last week "the situation they
disclosed to me was one | had not
visualized."
He recalled that he was shown
that heavy Withdrawals had been
made on the banks in the week pre-
vious.

as the others, and the withdrawals
were increasing every day." he said.
"There did not seem to be any real
reason for the withdrawals. The
assets of the banks were just as
good as they had been and there
were no real runs, but the withdraw
ais applied to a great extent to the

President Hoover's remarks on the
foreign debts were we'll timed in his
address following his mastery de-
Tense of sound money.
A great many propagandists, most
of them European, but unfortunately
some of them American, in their eff
forts to bring about cancellation,
have sought to create the impression
in the United Stats that practically
all of the worlds troubles are due to
the European debt owed to the United
States. President Hoover pointed out
how the lack of international conf
dence and the cheapening of money
standards in many nations had started
an economic warfare which is in a
big part responsible for the contin-
uation of the depression. Cancelling
the debts would not remedy the stu
alton, and President Hoover did well
to make this fact so clear in his New
York address.

"The opinion seemed inescapably
that if the banks operated on Satur-
day there would be a number of very
distressing bank failures which would
have been followed by nobody knows
what results.
Acted to Save DepOsitOrs
"The proposition was put to me to
declare the holiday. Obviously,
there was only one interest foremost
that of the depositors. Of course,
the stockholders have their rights
and interests, but before all should
come the depositors.
81 could not escape the conclusion
that if the depositors were to be
saved we must have breathing
spell during which time could be ia
ken to work out something for the
good of the banks of the state.
81 think generally it has been
agreed-looking at the thing as in
the past as well as when 1 looked at
it in the future-that the declaration
of the holiday was the best thing to
do.
"The legislation in this field is
difficult to formulate, because of the
lack of precedence for it, and it was
difficult to develop form of legis-
lation which would help.
81 have faced trying conditions
before during my life, but none like
this one. There was no course to
follow.
"There is no claim that the bill is
perfect. l don't know anyone who
is pleased with the entire bill, but
with a few changes. which may be
made, it is the best that all the par
ties concerned could perfect.

have long collected discarded furni-
ture and garments, hired needy men
and women to repair and remodel
them, and have then sold the articles
at a moderate price and used the
money to pay the workers. That was
the program on which they based
their motto, "Not charity, but a

Pile the chance to maintain their hope

The work is practically stopped now
for lack of such articles. People have
given away all the old things they
can spare. Many families are using
clothing and furniture these days
which they would have given away in
less depressed times and replaced
with new. The superintendent of one
relief organization which has been
active in this particular work for 20
years reports this is the first time it
has been stopped by scarcity of ma
terial.

RENOVIZE THE UNITED
STATES

A short time ago, "Renovize
Philadelphia Plan," backed by various
important industries, was Inaugural
ted. In an address concerning it,
General w. w. Atterbury, of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, said: eve all
realize that in these days of economic
doldrums, the pressing need is for in
crease in general purchasing power,
and that when this is once started
we may expect the resulting turn
over to stimulate business. = S 3
Fundamentally, decisively, to end
the depression is the objective of our
entire nation. 1t MUST be. * ST
"And, in this economic movement
may all of America get back of Phila-
delphia's leadership-with but a
single and united objective-to end

THE ONE-ROOM SCHOOL

1t is surprising to learn that three
school houses out Of five in this
country are still one-room buildings.
1t looks as if we haven't really
emerged from the ''little old red
schoolhouse," though most of the
schools nowadays are not red.
There need be no great lamentation.
To be sure, the fine, big, modern
country schools with everything under
one roof are usually superior to the
little one-man or one-woman schools
scattered about the countryside. Yet
it has always been true that the most
important part of any educational
system is the teacher, and good
teacher can function pretty well I'M
der almost any conditions.
The little schoolhouse, too, is far
better than it used to be-better in
its housing, better in its equipment,
method and supervision, and usually
better also in the qualifications of the
teacher herself.
There are even some things to be
said for what is ordinarily regarded
as the great handicap of such schools
that they have all the grades jun
bled up together, confusing the
pupils as we'll as overburdening the
teacher. Six or eight grades together
are, indeed, a chore for one teacher.
But pupils often benefit by such all
inclusive instruction. They gain more
or less familiarity with the work of
every class ahead, and they have a
continuous review of the work they
have already done. Such learning is
likely to stick.

Homemakers' Column
By Miss Margaret Kirby Burtis
Home Demonstration Agent

Dried Beans or Peas, and Why
Beans are very cheap and very fill
ing-but, more than that, they have
very special values which may be
lacking when other foods are out of
reach. This is true of beans of all
kinds and peas of all kinds. If you
can not have meat for dinner, baked
beans, for example, or bean SOUP. or
plain boiled beans fill the gap rather
better than most other cheap dishes.
Dried beans and dried peas may be
used INTERCHANGEABLE in most recipes,
though the cooking time varies some
what with the different kinds.
Canned, cooked beans are a substi-
tute which saves both time and fuel.
They need only to be heated, and are
also cheap.
Beans, salt pork and onions are the
usual combination in bean dishes, but
this can be varied by adding tomato
sauce, and again by adding ground
meat, as in Chilli con carne. Then
there are such excellent dishes as
scalloped beans, with or without to-
matoes, and the mixture of rice and
black-eyed peas known as Hopping
John. A good salad, or good sand
witch may be made of cooked dried
beans and shredded cabbage or car
rots, with onion. Or cooked, mashed
beans, seasoned with salt pork and

onions, may be nodded into cakes and
Drowned in fat like potato cakes.
AS almost equivalent to that ever
popular bean dish-baked beans but
not requiring the same long hours
of baking, try baked mashed beans,
using the accompanying recipe.
Baked Mashed Beans
One and one-halp pounds navy
beans, 6 cups water, 21S teaspoons
salt, Y pound salt pork, diced; 2
small onions, chopped; 4 tablespoons
molasses. ~
Wash and soak the beans overnight
in the six cups of water. In the morn
ing drain, add quarts of fresh water,
~ teaspoons of the salt, cover, and
simmer until the beans are very ten
der. Drain and reserve the liquid, and
press the beans through colander.
Cook the salt pork until crisp, remove
the pork and cook the onions in the
fat. Add the pork, onions, molasses,
and the remaining salt to the bean
pulp with enough of the liquid to
moisten. Put into a shallow pan and
brown in hot oven. Serve from the
pan.
Baked Onions Stuffed With Beans
Cut large onions in half, simmer in
lightly sailed water until almost ten
der. Lift the onions out and remove
the center rings, chop, and mix with
cooked OF canned beans. Season to
taste with salt and pepper and fill
the onion shells with the mixture.
Sprinkle bread crumbs on top and
bake in the oven until onions are
tender and brown on top.
