Pisun, Sativum!

n OUNDS like magic phrase
that fakirs in India mutter
- to turn ropes into snakes,
doesn't it? 1t is a magic phrase
for the housewife, for it produces
nourishment, flavor, and variety
for many of her choicest menus.
Pisum Sativum is only the Latin
name for her old friend, the pea!
Scientists, who gave the pea its
grander name, all praise it for it's
richness in protein, sugar, and
starch, and because it supplies us
all three vitamins, A, B and c.
Here's a pleasing recipe for the
Pisum Sativum in the main
course of your dinner:
Pea and Walnut Roast: Take
one and a half cups of pea pulp,
one cup of soft bread crumbs,
half cup of chopped walnuts, a
quarter of cup of butter and one
egg, beaten. Season with salt,
pepper and onion juice. Put into
buttered baking dish or loaf pan
and bake in a moderate oven, $50
degrees F. for from thirty to forty
minutes, or until set and brown.
Serve with hot canned tomato
soup, undiluted. Serves eight.
Try This for Lunch
Or if you want a luncheon dish
with lots of peas (beg pardon
pisa sativa-that's the pluraD in
it, try this
Corn and Pea RGrebit on Toast:
Make cheese sauce of two table
spoons butter, two tablespoons
-four, one and one-half cups milk
and one cup grated cheese. Drain
the contents of an S-ounce can
Of whole kernel corn and an H.
ounce can Of peas, and saute a
few minutes in two tablespoons
butter. Then add to the cheese
sauce, season to taste with salt
and pepper, and serve on toast.
Serves from six to eight"

PUBLIC APPROVAL OF COMING
MOVIES FORECAST BY HAYS

A forward look into the films the
motion picture industry will provide
for audiences in the coming season
reveals high level of entertainment
and a promise of hearty public ap-
proval, Mr.. Will H. Hays, president
of the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, told the
board of directors of the organiza-
ton at its regular quarterly meeting.
One of the notable trends in the
new picture is "a very large increase
in the number of films to be made
from the great classics of literature
and the stage and from books that
have won place In the hearts Of
millions Of readers" Mr.. Hays added.

MORRO CASTLE OFFICERS
CHARGED WITH NEG
LIGENCE
LIGENCE

Negligence that caused an increas-
ed death toll in the MORO Castle
holocaust was charged at New York,
against acting Captain William F..
Warns and four ranking officers of
the fire swept vessel by a Federal
Inquiry Board.
Chief Engineer Eben S. Abbott,
Second Officer Clarence Hackney,
Third Officer Harold Hansen and
First Assistant Engineer Antonio R.
Buijia were ordered with Warns to
appear October 20 to defend their
licenses against revocation or sus-
pension.
Failure to halt the blazing vessel
sooner, delay in wirelessing distress
signals and inefficient handling of
lifeboats were cited by the inspectors
as responsible for at least some of
the 1872 deaths in the disaster
Had the vessel been stopped i'm
mediately after the fire was discov-
cred in the superstructure, which
would have tended to prevent, the
rapid spread of the flames, and the
call for assistance not delayed" the
inspectators ruled, sit is apparent
that rescue vessels would have been
in the vicinity of the stricken liner
much earlier and no doubt would
have been instrumental in saving a
greater number Of lives"

FARMERS VOTE FOR CoRN-HOG
PLAN

Farmers by their own ballot are
overwhelmingly in favor of continu-
alton of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration corn-hog program
for another year.
Nearly complete returns from
500, 900 farmers showed a to 1
vote of approval on the controversial
production-control feature of the
AAA in a poll of the big corn produc-
ing states conducted by county ex-
tension agents.
The corn-hog program provides
that farmers who reduce their corn
acreage and limit hog production will
receive government benefits which so
far in 1884 have amounted to APP
proximately $4,000, 1000.
Sixteen States which already have
ballotted recorded 327,797 to 1885,
1862 vote in favor of the 1885 pro-
gram. A second question on the
'.one-contract-per-f plan for
1896 received an adverse vote-232,-
999 against and 229,4S0 for.
Two States, Kansas, and Nebras-
ka, were unfavorable to the continu-
alton of the AAA program next year.
Six states, Indiana, Kansas, Michi-
gan, Nebraska, Ohio and Wisconsin,
voted against the one-contract-the
adverse vote recorded being enough
to over balance the favorable mar
gins of nine other States"
The sixteen safes canvassed will
produce approximately IS per cent
of the nations 1,416,772,000 bushels
of the 1884 corn crop as estimated
of Oct. /. In this third of the Unit
ed States farmers received something
over $52,00O,000 in benefits, or
about three-quarters of the money
distributed. The entire crop is only
SIS per cent of the average yield.
Both signers and non-signers of
1884 corn-hog contracts were allow
ed to vote, with the latter being al
most uniformly unfavorable to both
questions.

One of the most discussed figures
in Washington today is the Secretary
of Labor, Mrs. Frances Perkins. She
has achieved the stature of storm
center. Many are strongly against
her
The lady of the Cabinet bids fair
to be more prominently in the public
eye. The NRA is in process of reor-
ganization and it is thought its labor
functions or many of them, may go
over to the Department of Labor.
That is what Secretary Perkins has
been demanding; that is what Gen
eral Johnson is said to have refused.
He has resigned and it is thought
Secretary Per,-ins' demands will be
brought again to the fore. Labor,
or more strictly speaking, the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, is said to
favor the transfer. If effected it will
be victory for Mrs. Jenkins, and not
her first one either.

KEEP THE HOME FIRES
"FRIENDLY"

A friendly" fire stays inside the
stove or furnace where it belongs
and serves to keep man comfortable.
When fire escapes from confinement
it becomes decidedly unfriendly!
How often fires do become I'M
friendly is emphasized in report OF
the National Board of Fire Under
writer's. 'In 1882" it states, fires
caused by stoves, furnaces, boilers
and their pipes, resulted in prop
erty loss of $17,916,7S3. Another
cause of fire, which is closely allied
with stoves, is defective chimneys
and flues. In 1892 fires originating
in this way caused a loss of 4,702,-
POI. A third contributing cause is
hot ashes, Goals and open fires, which
accounted for a loss of $5,002,572.
These three alone, with a total of
$47,621, 556, resulted in IL per cent
of the nations entire fire waste that
year"
Necessary precautions are simple;
Make certain that the stove, furnace
and smoke pipes are cleared of SCOT.
Replace worn, broken or rusted-out
parts. Keep burnable material
away from smoke pipes or any other
part that becomes extremely hot.
Fires are a tremendous and need
less expense, and everyone must help
pay the bill.

SUNSHINE, HOT WATER AND
SOAP

Speaking of the precautions that
should be taken in households, dur
ing and at the close of an illness
from any of the Catching diseases,
which are prevalent at all seasons,
DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, said recently:
ANY plan for the prevention or con-
troll of sickness of this sort, depends
upon the intelligent cooperation of
individuals and communities with
the medical profession and the
health authorities for its success.
For instance, the majority of the
more common communicable diseas-
es are spread from person to person
through the discharges from nose or
throat, or from those from the
bowels or bladder. Prompt and
careful disposition of this discharges,
by those who are caring for the sick,
goes long way toward creating a
strong line of defense against the
germ that cause these diseases.
I'VE used to pin our faith on fum-
igating a sick room at the end of an
illness, usually stuffing up the cracks
and burning some sort of substance
in the room. Now, we realize that
a more effective way of getting rid
of the germs that cause these various
diseases is to fight them every step
charge of a patient who has typhoid
fever or any similar disease, is warn
ed by the family doctor or the health
officer that the discharges from the
kidneys and the bowls are a source
of danger, and that they must be
disinfected before they are disposed
Of Various disinfectants are used
for this purpose.
For the same reason, those who
are in charge of persons suffering
from influenza, pneumonia, tubercu-
losis, scarlet fever, measles, infantile
paralysis or any other of the diseas-
es, spread by discharges from the
nose or throat, are warned that these
discharges are sources of great dan
ger, and are urged to have the pa
tient use paper handkerchiefs or
soft cheesecloth, that can be disin-
fected or burned or otherwise safely
disposed of.
1.-THE sterilization of dishes and
utensils used in the sick room, by
boiling after each use of them, and
of the patients clothing, sheets, tow
els, and pillow cases, are equally
necessary. Then, at the close of the
illness, a thorough cleaning of the
room, bedding and personal belong
ings of the patient, scrubbing the
floors and woodwork, and opening
the place to the fresh air and sun
light, are urged as final precaution-
airy measure.
Fortunately, the best disinfect-
ants yet discovered, are within reach
of everybody. They are plenty of
hot water and soap, fresh air and
sunshine"

GOVERNOR RITCHIE ADVOCATES
OYSTER PLANTING

Governor Richie advocates the
expenditure of at least 100000 to
rehabiliate the fast dwindling oyster
beds in Maryland waters. He favors
the planting of seed oysters in order
to bring Maryland's oyster produc-
ton figure back to the old figure of
100000 bushels.
Shell planting should be continued
on the public bars, says the Govern
or, but we should concentrate much
more on the planting of seed oysters,
because they will reach marketable
size earlier. The number of seed
oysters planted under existing laws
was helpful to many areas, but far
too few to replenish the oyster sup
ply in general The aim should be
to plant as promptly as possible up to
100000 bushels of seed oysters.
Well informed people in the indus
try believe that this amount OF seed
oysters, plus the oysters on the bot
toms now, should yield an annual
production of about 100000 bush
els, which would replenish the indus
try. The seed areas at the head OF
the Chesapeake Bay and in the trib-
utaries should be extended for future
transplanting.
The transplanting would be a very
large undertaking, and would furnish
much needed employment to dredges
and tongers.

AUTO CLUB OPENS TWO DOLLAR
TAG CAMPAIGN

Casting aside all subterfuge and
coming direct to the point in single,
simple question, the Automobile Club
of Maryland is placing the matter OF
Two-Dollar Tags squarely up to the
various candidates for Office in No
vember.
Are you or are you not in favor
of a bill reducing the cost OF auto
mobile license tags to a fiat rate of
$500 per year," asks the question
naire.
Minutes of The Automobile Club
of Maryland show the motorists
support for the original gasoline tax
law was obtained upon promise
that the gasoline tax would take the
place of the horsepower tax when
revenue from the former equalled
the latter, and thereafter a nominal
charge of S1.O0 would be made for
tags.
In 1922, when the original gaso-
Maryland Legislature incorporated
this agreement in detail. This 1922
law provided that when the revenue
from the &c gas tax exceeded the
revenue from the registration fees,
the Governor should certify that fact
to the Commissioner of Motor We
hicles, "and from and after January
/. 1924, the registration fees impos-
ed by Article Sc of the Code of Pub
lie General Laws in the case of gaso-
line propelled vehicles equipped with
pneumatic tires shall no longer be
charged or collected, but in lieu
thereof, the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles shall charge and collect a.
registration fee of $1.00.
This agreement was partially COM
piled with in 1924 when the regis
tration tax was reduced to 32c per
horse power, and then repudiated in
1927 by the passage of bill of con-
siderable size relating to- some other
subject with repeal of the agreement
hidden in it.
Since the passage of the 1922 Act
there have been two increases in the
gasoline tax and it's revenue today
more than doubles the revenue from
the horsepower tax it was intended
to supplant.
In 1929 and 1881 the excuse given
for the States not living up to this
promise was that to reduce the horse
pofer tax would curtail the road pro-
gram, yet in 1888 two bills were pas
sed diverting from the road over half
million dollars from the gasoline
tax revenue for each of the years
1884 and 1885, and approximately
$4,000 from fines and forfeitures,
all of which revenue had been deriE-
ed from the motorists and dedicated
to road maintenance and recon-
struction.
To carry out this promise to the
motorists would mean approximately
one and one-half million dollars less
funds turned over to the State Roads
Commission. However, this loss will
be appreciably cut down by the re-
turn after 1885 of half d million
dollars annually, previously diverted
from gas tax revenue, and 100000
annually previously diverted from
fines and forfeitures. Reduced mo-
tor vehicle registration costs in 9TH
err states have shown an increased
registration in motor vehicles and
resulting increased revenue from gas
tax. With motorists taxes going to
the roads, and saving by concen-
-tration of State Roads funds on nee
essary highways, this promise can be
carried out and the motorist relieved
of his burdensome double taxation.
