Morning glories are as much
a favorite in needlework as they
are in the garden. In this quilt
they have adopted a simple
form and blossom in a variety
of colors, for they are made Of
scraps. They can, of course,
be made of one material, if pre-
ferred. The outstanding feature
of this quilt is the simplicity OF
the block. Any quiltmaker can
see at a glance it would take
but a short time to piece,
task which is made interesting
by the variety of materials.

without word to Larry she wrote quickly:

RAIL MERGER PLAN WOULD
SCRAP B. AND O. SYSTEM
]. ]. COrnwell Declares 1t Would
Ruin Towns Along Line

John ]. Cornwell, general counsel
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
last night declared that the adoption
of the "Prince Plan" for the two-party
consolidation of eastern railroads
would "scrap" not only his own line
but also towns and industries in West
ern Maryland, Western Pennsylvania,
West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana and Hi
nois.
The "Prince Plan" has been submit
ted to Federal Railroad Coordinator
Joseph Eastman as a means of Great
ing a more efficient transportation
system in the nations most highly in
dustrialized states. 1t calls for the
consolidation of every railroad be-
tween the Atlantic ocean and the Ohio
river, New England and southern ter
ritory, into two super-systems, oper-
ated by the Pennsylvania and the
New York Central.
The plan would also authorize the
two roads with government consent to
abandon such lines and discontinue
such service as seemed advisable in
the interest of economy and efficiency.
Cornwell read from what he called
sweeping statement of the purposes
of the Prince planners the following:
"The net result of withdrawing all
through passenger and freight traffic
from the main line of the Baltimore
and Ohio together with the proposed
recruiting of bituminous coal, both
north bound and in direction of Lake
Erie points, will be that the functions
of this entire system between Phila-
delphia and St. Louis and Chicago will
be those incident to handling strictly
local freight and passenger traffic, or,
in other words, the entire system will
revert to the status of a two-branch
line"
Adoption of this plan, said Corn
well, would mean ruin to property
values and taxable bases in all cities
and towns where shops and other rail-
raod facilities would be scrapped;
ruin to industries on the main line
railroads which would become only
branches; ruin for towns that expect
prosperity out of the "new DEAL"

and to pay for the administrations
recovery program. They do not feel
that they are at this time able to pay
the rest of the worlds bill for wag-
ing the great war. Nor do they think
they are justly called on to do this.
European observers are just now
rather proudly stating that many of
the nations of Europe are now fur
Their on the road to recovery from the
depression than we are in spite of our
NRA. They seem to think that this
shows the superiority of their own &C.
onomic ideas. If it is true that they
are now better off economically than
we are and have proportionately less
unemployment, then they ought to be
able to pay something on the debt
which they owe US.
But it is a good bet that when the
time comes for debt negotiation they
will suddenly become poor again and
will want Uncle Sam to resume the
entire burden of liquidating the ex-
penses of the World War. European
diplomats are built that way. They
will settle if they have to, but will
find it lot more fun to force Uncle
Sam to pay for something which they
started.

another, in the Tenant fire negotia-

Menke is said to have admitted the
plot when he was questioned recently
in the Maryland penitentiary by off
Gals of the two states including w.
w. Dawson, prosecuting attorney of
this county who represented Maryland
at Menke's trial here last sphing.
Warhol, Legonsky and Valoska have
made statements to the West Virginia
officers which incriminated not only
themselves but also Cantor in the Ma
rilla fire. Legnosky and Valoska were
the torches" setting the fire after
gasoline had been poured on walls and
floors. Both were expected to die
from burns suffered in the explosion,
but recovered.
Courtney Tasker, who was not in
dicted, told jurors at Morgantown that
he was a party to the attempt to burn
Cantor's automobile last January and
drove the machine to Garrett county
to apply the torch. The car was de-
livered to him at Sabraton. He said
Cantor had $500 insurance on it.
The fourteen indictments place six
charges of conspiracy to commit ar
son and defraud insurance companies
against Cantor, four each against Ten
nant and Menke, two against Rich
ards, three against Crawford and one
each against Legnosky aud Valoska.
Arson charges are made separately
against Crane, Mccormick and Menke.
1t has been indicated that Warhol,
Legnosky and Valoska will enter pleas
of guilty when arraigned and that the
others will demand trials. No attempt
will be made to try Menke, Crane or
Mccormick until their prison terms
have expired.

NEW DEBT DRIVE" COMING

Of late there has been rumors to
the effect that the American govern
ment is preparing to agree to slash
in the European debt which would
amount almost to cancellation. These
reports have originated in European
diplomatic circles and some of them
limited that Norman H. Davis, credited
with favoring the reduction of the
debts, had made such a promise to
foreign diplomats with the knowledge
of the national administration.
There is nothing yet, so far as the
public knows, to indicate that there
is any truth in these reports. The
probability is that they foreshadow
a revival on the part of European ma
tions of an intensive effort to secure
debt cancellation from the United
States. 1t is an old trick of European
diplomacy, when it is getting ready to
try to put something over on Uncle
Sam to send out stories to the effect
that the American government "fav-
ors" the thing which the European
diplomats are getting ready to put
over. That is a good deal like send
ing out a smoke screen at the begin
ming of an attack.
The national administration is on
record as opposed to debt cancellation
or any scaling down of debts which
would amount to virtual cancellation.
There is no reason yet to believe that
there has been any change in policy.
The only thing limiting of such
change has been the rumors emanat-
ing from European political circles.
Certainly the American people have
not changed their minds on the sub
ject of debt cancellation. They real
ize that for every dollar the European
statesmen succeed in chiselling from
the amount which Europe owes US,
another dollar must be raised by the
American taxpayers to help liquidate
the war which was waged "to save
the world for democracy" but which
succeeded only in raising Dictator
ships over great section of the popu-
lation of the world.
Just now the American people have
about all they can do to raise money
to carry on the American government

Home Demonstration Agent
Cranberries for Fall

OTdNDeTTIeS IOT TdH
A we'll known food editor says:
Cranberry sause! Simple to serve
and simply delicious. This fruit de-
serves a side dish of it's own. Not to
be hidden under a chicken wing or
chop bone." A few choice recipes
are as follows:
Whole Cranberry Sauce
Cranberry sauce can be made in ten
minutes. 1t should be served cold.
1t is desirable to cook up a quantity
at time and fill mason jars, the same
as other fruits, and have supply
on the pantry shelf ready for use. 1t
is delicious and appropriate to serve
with any meat course, hot or cold;
make pies or tarts; serve on vanilla
ice cream. (This makes a most delic
ious and attractive sundae).
Here is the recipe: One pound a
cups) cranberries, 2 cups boiling
water, 11a to 2 cups sugar. Boil SUI
gar and water together for five min
utes; add the chanberries, boil with
out stirring five minutes is usually
sufficiently until the skins are brok-
en-. Remove from the fire when the
popping stops, and let stand in cook
ing vessel until cool. Cooking cram
berries too long spoils the flavor, and
toughens the skins. To merely break
the skins by cooking is enough. When
they break they pop-after about 5
minutes of boiling. When they stop
popping, stop cooking-remove from
the fire and do not disturb until cool.
Cranberry Meringue Pie
This is an especially delicious and
attractive pie. One and one-half cups
sugar, cups cranberries, table
spoon flour, 1-2 teaspoon vanilla, 2
tablespoons powdered sugar, IL cup
cold water, tablespoon butter, 2
eggs. Cook sugar and water to a
syrup; add the cranberries. Cook I'M
til they pop. Cool little. Mix smooth
ly in a bowl the flour and yolks of
eggs; add three tablespoons of the
juice of the cooked cranberries, then
add to the berries and simmer for 3
minutes. Stir in butter and vanilla
and set aside to cool. Turn filling into
deep pie crust previously baked; cover
with merigue made from stifly beaten
whites of eggs and powdered sugar.
Place in slow oven to set and slightly
brown the meringue.
Cranberry Criss-CrOss Pie
Here is a pie the men like, and it
is quickly and easily made:
Have ready a partly baked pie shell;
pour in the regular whole cranberry
sauce when cold; put strips of pastry
over the top and finish baking in a
moderate oven.
Cranberry Fruit Salad
On a chilled salad plate arrange
crisp leaves of lettuce. In the center
place banana and two heaping tea
spoons of cranberry sauce. Garnish
with mayonnaise. Oranges, pineap-
