HINTS LIBERTY LEAGUE
LINKED WITH G. o. P.

BY E. G.
One of the founders of the AIneri-
can Liberty League is Nathan l.,
Miller former Republican Governor
of New York; another, John w.
Davis, disappointed nominee for
President in 1924, and a third, AL
fred E. Smith, another sorehead
who lost out, pouting considerably
since.
Gathering from what I read in
the papers, it really sounds to me
like league that was quite promi-
nent a few years ago. 1t had quite
a following in Indiana; in fact, I be-
lieve, elected a Republican l., Gov
ernor and he appointed a United
States senator who is running again
this fall. Can it be possible this
Liberty League is a kind of a new
name to develop and safeguard the
interests of the good old party?
may be wrong, but 1 have al
ways said and believed that no
league or. organized body, formed to
interfere with our government or its
workings could be anything but dis
astrous to Itself and it belittles our

Roman Scandals
One Long Howl;
Eddie's Immense!
By George Clark

The very idea Of Eddie Cantor
scurrying madly about amid the de-
cadent magnificence of ancient Rome
is SO funny in itself that We found
ourselves smiling in anticipation be-
lore we hit the Paramount Theatre

When We got there we unbent and

Gentlemen who don't prefer blondes

Wheeler and Robert Woolsey. for this
sparkling and zestful girl-and- melody

fer the more fiery type.
Chief among the blondes is the
statuesquely beautiful comedi.nne,
Thelna Todd, who acts as the femi-
nine foil for Woolsey's energetic buf-
foonings. Thelma is aided by score
OF Hollywood's most charming dane

comedy stars attention directed to-
ward the flaXen-tressed clan.
Ruth Etting and Dorothy Lee also
add their talents and lures to the
picture, managing between them to
keep Bert Wheeler's romantic inclin-

eeNap'." Distinct Value

The nap may serve as pick-me-
up. Henry M. Stegman suggests to
the readers of Hygeia Magazine. A
little 'snooze" for the nervous,
tired man in the afternoon may
make his night sleep more soothing.
Many persons who have long
rides ON elevated trains or subways
catch an hour or two Of sleep In
this way. 1t is surprising how one
can mechanically train oneself not
to sleep past ones destination.
Others before going out In the eve
ming catch q few winks Of sleep.
Housewives have found short nap
after the lunch hour Of great
benefit.
One can get a better quality Of
sleep in a nap than in the average
of a full nights rest, for the first
two hours of sleep are the deepest.
The nap is hardly In consonance
with the bustling American spirit,
but that is all the more reason
for It.

Health Seal Idea Taken
Up in Delaware In 1907

The idea of health seal or the
anti-tuberculosis seal was suggested
by Jacob Riis, the social reformer
and author. In an article In the
Outlook for 1907 he told how
Christmas stamps or seals had
been sold in Denmark for the sup
port of a children's hospital, and
his article suggested the adoption
of the idea in this country.
His idea was taken up in that
year by Miss Emily p. Bissell Of
Wilmington, Del. in a local cam
paign. BY this method she raised
$1,000 toward paying for the site
of the first tuberculosis sanitarium
in Delaware-Hope farm.
The nationwide sale of seals was
thereafter sponsored as a means Of
raising funds by the Red Cross. The
distribution of them now, however,
is in the hands of the National Tu-
berculosis association and its 2.100
state and local branches. The
double-barred cross which appears
on the Christmas seals is the sym.
Dol Of that organization.

"THAT BUNCH

The Spokane Review struck a note in
it's editorial column Tuesday which we wish
could be impressed upon every citizen IN the
community The editorial said: 1t is
mistake to think that any good sized town
can prosper without a chamber OF commerce
or a commercial club. Always there are
community interests that cannot be adj
vanced by individual effort. The election
of officers and appointment of committees
by the Kennewick chamber of commerce IN
dicates such vitalizing activities as irrlga-
ton and land settlement, agriculture and
marketing, advertising, finances, transpor-
tation, roads and tourists and trade rela-
tons; and that in favored community that
is essentially dependent upon agriculture.
Manifestly the spread of activities is much
greater in communities that have for basic
resources such industries, additional to ag-
riculture, as mining, forest industries, pow
er development and manufacturing.
The Review is right, of course, in its
summary. If it were entirely possible, we
wish we could convince every citizen in this
area that the local chamber of commerce
is interested solely and completely in the
fullest development of our district - not
along the business section of town, but ev-
cry possible resource which this district
claims Numerous instances of this inter-
est can be recalled and many of the accom-.
plishments for the district can be traced di-
rectly to the work which the organization
has put in on them. The chamber should
have the fullest cooperation from everyone
engaged in earning a livelihood in the COM
munity in whatever capacity.

ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.

If variety is the spice of life, the United
States has spicy weather, for at this season
of the year one may find in these 48 states
every variety of weather from one extreme
to the other. The states are sovereign eli
matically as well as politically.
On November day transcontinental
flier can leave tropical weather in Florida
and experience almost every degree of wea-
ther and temperature before reaching SUBJ
zero temperatures in Montana Both balmy
and blizzardy weather can be found on oc-
casion along both coasts on the same day.
More than half the country seldom ex-
periences sub-zero weather. The southern
fringe hardly knows the meaning of winter.
But the northern fringe of states must build
it's homes warm, bury water pipes deep and
fight heavy SHOWS with pillow and snow
fences.
Between the torrid and frigid belts
there is wide area running from coast to
coast whose people talk Of the good old-fash-
Toned winters with fence-high SHOWS and
tree-splitting freezes. Nor will the old ma
tives accept the explanations of the weather
bureau that those were exceptional winters
and were not typical of their times.
Americas climatic versatility rather
than any human perversity is to be blamed
for that contrariness which makes the
southerner go north to enjoy the SHOWS and
the northerner go south to enjoy the sun
shine and warmth.

NEWSPAPER POSTAGE

When congress goes back to the two
cent rate for first class mail, as it is certain
to do because of the three-cent stamp fiasco,
it is also likely to restore the old rate on
second class mail, also increased three years
ago. Certainly neither increase has vim
dicated ITSELF.
Two things probably inspired the high
er second class rate, under which newspapers
are carried: Retaliation for newspaper crit
icism of congress for abuses of the frank
ing privilege and legislative mistakes, and
the claim of the postoffice department that
second class mail is carried at a loss in ex-
cess of $96,000,000 year. Congress APP
parently believed these figures.
The truth of the matter is that the
government makes 100 per cent profit on
this class of business. Investigation dis
closed that if every pound of second class
mail matter were wiped out the post office
department could not possibly reduce it's
operating costs by more than $10,O0O,0O0
but it's revenue from this class of mail is
better than $26,0OO,OOO year. At these
figures second class mail is a profitable by
product
Moreover, the country's newspapers are
an important, almost necessary, adjunct of
the government and the guardians of the
peoples rights and liberties. One cannot
comprehend democratic or representative
form of government long remaining SO with

Professor Finds Tomb
of Erypt's First Queen

The great pyramid discovered al

lieved to be the tomb of Queen
Khentkawes, who was possibly the
wife of King Nefererkara. the third
king of the Fifth dynasty. This an
cient monument lies near the Great
Pyramid of Cheops. and is the tomb
of the first Egyptian lady to bear
the title of Queen" It Is built
against the solid rock, which forms
one side, and it's base measures
about $50 feet.
The superficial area of the pyra-
mid is about $500 square yards.
which shows that it is somewhat
smaller than the third pyramid. It
is also slightly different in forma-
ton.
The existence of a fourth pyra-
mid has been suspected for con-
siderable time. The pyramid now
discovered probably disappeared
from view more than twenty CEN
turtles ago.
The location and history of the
fourth pyramid has for ages been
a mystery. Professor Hassan re-
Gently unearthed brick temple not
far from the third pyramid, and as
every pyramid has its temple he
was convinced that his discovery
was the key to the whereabouts of
the fourth pyramid.-Philadelphia

Old Roman Postal System

A postal system was in existence
IN the Roman empire. It was known
as the Cursus Publicus and was es-
tablished by Augustus for dis
patches between the government
and the provinces. Previously mes
sages were carried by tabellarii or
orderlies known as statores. At a
later t~riod carriages were en-
ployed tor messengers and the cost
was borne by the cities and the dis
tricts. There was an express post
known as Cursus Velox. Postal
boats also piled between certain
ports. The postal system was not
employed by the general public.

PUMPKIN PIE

AS a man approaches the end OF MS
Journey through life he loses interest IN
trivial things and devotes his attention to
matters of consequence. Thus, Charles h.
Mumford. the oldest shareholder in the
United States Steel Corporation, now in the
tenth decade of his career on earth, has been
known to expatiate on the merits OF pump
kin pie at the annual meeting OF the cor
poration. 1t was of greater interest to him
than the reports on tonnage or the rate OF
; dividend.
Those familiar with pumpkin pie pro-
perly made will share his enthusiasm. But
it must be made right with ginger and Gin
namon and possibly nutmeg, with brown
sugar and generous number of eggs, along
with a modicum of brandy or sherry. Then
it is a CONNECTION to delight the most par
ticular gourmet.
There are base limitations made with
squash or sweet potatoes. And there are
pumpkin pies without ginger or other spices.
They are an offense to the palate and should
never be allowed to masquerade under a
false name. The muses. never stirred a poet
to write rhapsody to squash pie, but the
golden pumpkin inspired Whittier to lyric
flights when he wrote, after eating piece
Of pie:
And the prayer, which my mouth is too
full to express,
Swells my heart that thy shadow may
never be less,
That the days of thy lot may be length
ened below,
And the fame of thy worth like a pump
kin vine grow,
And thy life be as sweet, and it's last
sunset sky
Golden-tinted and fair as thy own pump
kin pie.
This is the season when the pumpkin
pie flourishes in all it's glory. 1t is an Amer
lean institution as distinctive as the buffalo
and the red Indian.
Therefore, it should be standardized so
that when a man gets wedge of it, either
in his own home, or in a restaurant, he would
not have put before him flat and tasteless
mass of yellow "goo" lying on soggy crust.
