OYSTERS R IN SEASON
hl3il BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

Some like oysters on the shell And dipped in savory sauce, Arranged in circle on bed of ice So you may spear and gently toss One after another into sea
 Of highly seasoned dressing; A squeeze of lemon added to same Is swell we are confessing. Or perhaps you would prefer them cooked, They're pretty nice that way, too; Add to milk, butter, pepper, salt, And you have an appetizing stew. A bit more hearty, perhaps, you'll find Those bivalves crumbed and fried But it's better to have tasted and lost Than never to have tried. Oh, oysters come and oysters go For no particular rhyme nor reason, So make the most of the marine mollusks Right now while they're in season.

SHOUSE FLAYS
new DEAL IN
CLUB ADDRESS

NEW YORK. Nov. 2O.-P)-Jouett
Shouse. president Of the American
Liberty League. Tuesday denounced
what he called RECOMMENDATION"
undertaken by the new deal.
Striking back at President R0ose-
velt's hint that the league places
property rights above human rights
he quoted with approval a news
paper editorial saying nothing
could be asillier" than to suppose
personal and property rights can
conflict.
The leagues chief also expressed
regret" at the fact the next con-
gress viii be composed Of over
wnelming majorities ana very small
minorities.
Regrets Dem Majorities
Whether It be in nation. state
or city" he said IN an address
prepared for delivery to the bond
club. the best government Is
achieved when the balance Of power
between the two parties is as near
~ as possible equal. 1t Is undesir-
able when the pendulum swings
too far In either direction"
Although Shouse emphasized ne
as giving only his personal opln-
ions, his address was regarded as
highly significant rs pointing the
future course OF this organiza-
tics furhed BY such men as Alfred
r.. Smith, James w. Wadsworth,
John w. Davis and Irenee Du Pont
to assess trends N government ana
fight those 1t brands as harmful.

tration and that 1T will hope TO
work with the administration

country ShouSe said.
1T viii not fail to uphold fund

versive theories and alien doc
trines."
Unwarranted Excuses
Shouse's opinions on MIRA and

his views, indicated for the first
time the possible standpoints OF the
league. Declaring that in many
regards NRA has served q useful
purpose and that he would not
sruthIessly sacrifice everything"
connected with IL he said:
aThat the NRA has INDUCED IN
unwarranted excuses Of attempted
regulation there can be no doubt.
That this policy of price-fixing Is
detrimental TO the best interests OF
the great mass Of the people Is my
firm belief. That its attempt TO
write codes for every little business
OF the country was absurd and RI
diculous there Is small question"
OF the AAA, ShouSe said:
Il am not one Of those who Is
unconscious OF, or unsympathetic

Moreover. in the experimentation

CARBON MoNOxIDE SOURCES
By DR.. w. D. Brown

OAhbON MONOA1DI OOhSCO
Recently 1 wrote about the dan
ger of carbon monoxide generated
or stove and from Illuminating
in the home from a leaking furnace
The one fact that must be kept in
mind also is that the gas is color
less, odorless and non-irritating,
and thereby not revealing it's pres
ence by ordinary physical stimuli.
My purpose here is to give you
the sources in everyday life of car
bon monoxide, so that you may be
careful. They are as follows: 1,
Automobile exhaust gas. 2, Gas
range burning natural gas. 3,
Room heater burning natural gas.
a, Furnace gas of small house heat
ing hot water system. 5, City fire
(black smoke from burning build
ings). 6, Railroad locomotive
stack gas. 7, Insulation burning in
electric arc. 8, Carbureted water
gas. 9, Coal gas. 10, Fuel gas.

Arc furnace melting aluminium.
%, Distillation coal-oil mixtures.
"a, Blau gas.
These sources were compiled by
Doctor R. R. Sayers, and they show
that in almost every place you go
you are subject to being poisoned
by this gas. Prevention depends
on adequate ventilation wherever
this gas is generated.

Howe About:
Protection for All
Destroyed Illusions
Coal Oil Johnny
BY ED HOWE
@. Bell syndicats.-wNU Service.

I AM a man Of peace, but when
l. the provocation is sufficient, be-
lieve in fight; even in shooting.
Robberies of banks have become
so common that In many towns
alarm systems have been installed
to summon, on occasion, citizens
with arms in their hands. / am
cheered frequently of late by hear
ing of bank robbers being shot
down in the streets.
1t is not for the greatest good
OF the greatest number that an
armed loafer, with murder in his
heart, should demand money belong
ing to Industrious citizens. The
majority of men do not approve of
such methods, therefore are not
only within their lights in stopping
such outlawry, but are to be highly
commended. An occasional man ly-
ing dead in sle streets, If discov-
cred in violence, is as fine an exhibit
ton of morality as assisting the I'M
fortunate.
| believe congress has violently
assaulted the rights of conservative
citizens who represent the majority.
Our country, our homes, our places
of business, are as clearly entitled
to protection as banks. Measures
sufficiently vigorous to be effective
should be resorted to in protecting
them.
A writer in a Baltimore paper
says the trouble with Americans
now is, they are suffering from the
destruction Of their old illusion of
superiority and infallibility. Hav-
Ing been blown completely out of
our serene confidence that one Of
US could lick thirty-seven French
men, 1t was inevitable that we
should begin to doubt that we can
lick any Frenchman at all. We have
been suddenly and frlghtfully con-
vtnced that we are no better than
so many foreigners, whereas, for a
hundred years, we have been as
surfing ourselves that foreigners are
low and feeble fellows. What won
der, then, that we have fallen far
into the dumps?
Americans were originally In pos
session of virgin continent, which
they exploited with unprecedented
speed, and making many mistakes
on the way. The resultant colossal
wealth naturally gave us the i'm
preston that our business acumen
was prodigious. Everything con-
spired to maintain us In the opin-
Ion that the American is In all re-
spects the most potent man who
walks the earth.
