The Richmond News Leader points
out that Uncle Sam took pains to ex-
plain that while this organization
works in cooperation with the League
of Nations, it is neither an af1liate nor
a subsidiary Of the League" The Man
chester IN. HI Union contends that
'1n most respects our labor problem Is

of the labor body are controlled by the
League assembly, and 1t Is not without
reason that Europe is congratulating
itself that we have at last taken step
in the Leagues direction"

need to worry, considering the ex-

the solidif1cation of anti-League senti-

administration will tempt the fates by
trying to get us into the League. The
International Labor organization Is
one of the humane and cultural bodies

that in the past have had q generous
share of cooperation from the United

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Intelligence calls to intelligence,
but ignorance speaks to ignorance
Just as loudly. That is one of the
main reasons there is so little prog
ress in the world.
Here is a person who has close
acquaintance with two other persons.
One of the latter is highly edu-
Gated man, with long and successful
career.
The other is an ignorant person
who never wanted to know anything
because, primarily, he fancied from
childhood that he knew it all.
The two of them decide on a GER
tain type of undertaking, each for
himself.
The one puts into play all that
has been found out about the matter.
The other lets his own sweet will
rule.
When the first person mentioned
above, who now becomes the third
party, decides to follow suit, what
does he do?
He ought to know, without think
ing, that the construction of the edu-
Gated man runs much better chance
of being correct.
But he follows the lead of the other
fellow, although he knows as well as
any one else that the man hasn't one
remote idea that is based on man
kinds own basic principle, intelligence
in action.
This is not theoretical, but a
very practical problem in the every
day of every one of us, for every per-
son. no matter who he is, how high or
low, has perpetual opportunities for
choice.
The greatest stumbling block is
the inability of so many to give an
other human being credit for what
he knows.
In a hundred ways we refuse to
give credit where credit is due, pre-
ferring thus to salve the spirit of
envy in ourselves.
We might know, even without TAX
ing thought, that the man must know
something about what he is talking
about, after all these years.
He would be the dumbest of the
dumb if he did not. 1t would be i'm
possible for any one to put as much
time on the subject (whatever 1t may
be- without becoming somewhat of
an expert in it.
X X 4
Yet we refuse to honor him to that
extent.
1t is easier to regard him as q
bluff.
1t is more soothing to us to leave
his knowledge in the air, when he
offers it, and run away to stranger,
about whom we know nothing.
All this stranger has to do, to i'm
press us, is to be a stranger!
If we knew something about him,
he couldn't fool us!
We would be "onto him" then.
He would not be able to pull his
bluff.
Why, old Tom Jones, we know him.
Doesn't he live in our neighborhood? ?
What does he know about gardening? :?
He has a yard just like everybody
else's yard, hasn't he?
Don't tell us that his yard en-
bodies all the really worthwhile
points of landscape gardening on a
small scale. Why, there is nothing
there to knock your eye out. Moth
ing that throws itself at you, making
you notice it. What? It is supposed

Pretty soon the Democratic State
convention will meet and adopt party
platform in California. Will it be the
platform of Mr.. Sinclair? 1t does not
seem possible that it will, although it
will glorify the Roosevelt new deal.
Then Mr.. Sinclair will be expected to
stand on this platform. He may. but
he will also have his own program and
will in effect be his own platform.
That is not unprecedented. Al Smith,
in 1928, wrote his own platform on
the prohibition question after he had
been nominated for President by the
Democrats.
What will be the effect of the Sin
clair victory on the election in Maine

speakers may be expected to ring the
changes upon the socialistic tenden-
cies of the new deal, however, during
the remainder of the campaign there,

the national Democrats.

Highlights of Hospitality

Drowned potatoes without; a salad
dressing with garlic and one without;
such small things as a choice of sweet
or salted butter has decided many a
question of Where shall We dine to-
night" To some tastes the fresh sweet
butter which is necessary to French
cooks and those who love French
cooking is actually displeasing to tastes
that have always used butter with salt.
Some walters have a way of remem-
bering these little desires of guests who
come in quite regularly and the
pleasure it gives Is very evident.
think that not enough attention is paid
to these things in the average home
where the wife molds the tastes of her
family to the type of cooking and
seasoning that comes natural to her
Where different nationalities are
represented in household it is a good
idea for the cook to learn to make
eXpertly the favorite dishes in each
camp. and to be as generous about
rotating them as her kitchen affairs
will permit. I have known men to long
so keenly for the French method of
seasoning and cooking meats and
vegetables that they will go miles to a
certain restaurant or hotel to be salts
fed. Yet at home, out of courtesy to
the cooking of their wives, not a word
is said about these preferences which
could so easily be observed.
Food makes a great difference to all
of us, and as in most other things in
life, it is the little things about cooking
that count. After all, there is one
general way of roasting, frying, baking,
stewing-but who can measure the little
extra touches which make one woman's
or one chefs cooking so widely diff
ferent from all others that there is al
most no comparison?
