WALDORF CHEF
 REVEALS SECRET

Springfield, Mo (UP)-Scientif1c knowledge, enabling one to en- gage in a fortnight, two-fisted grapple with even the most po- tent onion, has been made avail able to waiting world by a high school English class here.
 Required to write a composition, one of the students selected for his subject the theory and prac- tice of onion-skinning. He de- clared that the proper technique was to sumerge the onion in water before beginning the operation, thereby eliminating the pungent mist which customarily arises from the onion and starts a flow of tears from the eyes of the op- orator.
 Unconvinced, classmate de- cided to refer this thesis to a rec- ognized expert in the onion peel ing. She wrote K. L. Devereaux, chief of the Waldorf-Astoria in New York, and was answered as follows:
 Tn reply to your recent letter regarding our method of peeling onions, would say that we have found that suberging the onion in ice cold water while removing the skins eliminates the objection able results on the tear ducts. We sincerely hope this information will assist you in the usually un- pleasant task of peeling onions."

CRUDE SPEAR
 FOUND ON PEAK
Relic of Sixteenth Century Believed One of COrOn=
 adO'S Weapons

Colorado Springs, Colo (UP)-A crude spear, Ur lance, left perhaps by Coronado's men, who sought fabled cities of gold in the west long before the Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock, was unearthed by slope development of Pikes Peak.
 Crudely hammered out by hand, the weapon appeared to be relic of the sixteenth or seventeenth century.
 Cowan c. Eastman, assistant city engineer, believes 1t may have been hurled, or cast aside, by one of the band of intrepid Spanish explorers who, under the leader ship of Francisco VasqueZ de Cor onado, headed northward in the 154O's from Mexico in search of the precious yellow metal.
 The first person, other than American Indians, known to have seen Pike's Peak, was Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike, who in 1903, led 20 soldiers on an explo- ration of the Louisiana purchase. Historians doubt, however, that the weapon could have been left by a member of his band because he kept an accurate record of where he went. He did not suc- ceed in climbing the mountain, the winter snows preventing an ascent at that time.
 They believed it more likely that stragglers or deserters from Coro- nado's band deposited it there. Coronado himself apparently did not see Pikes Peak because he failed to mention it in his account of his travels.

INDIAN SQUAW
 LIVELY AT IA
Smoking for lOS Years Ontario Woman Has
 Never Been III

Sudbury, Ont (UP)-An Indian woman who, at IA, chops her own wood, paddles canoe, goes for long hikes through the woods, traps rabbits and cartridges for food, has been smoking pipe for 108 years and never ha sbeen Ill, has been found lying in little shack on the Whitefish lake In- dian Reserve.
 She is Marie Anne Tamekweg, an Objibway squaw. She is Cam ada's oldest woman. Old Jesuit missionary records reveal that she was born in 1890.
 Marie was considered a great beauty among Ojibways in the 1850's. She has been married twice. She married her second husband when 60 and bore him two children.
 She says smoking hasn't done her any harm.
 T have been smoking since l was six years old and intend to smoke until die," she declared. That makes 10S years now have been putting away at tobacco and it has not done me any harm"
 She lives with her widowed daughter, Genevieve, who is crip- pied and 70 years old. She does all the homework and cooking. When she needs fuel, she goes, to the woods, chops down tree and car ries the wood to the shack herself In winter she uses a sleigh which she built with her own hands.
 It is a common sight for visitors to the reserve to see her carry down canoe to the lake shore and paddle away with vigorous strokes.

Hero Worship Has
 Its Reward, Proved
Catholic U. Football Captain Gives Quart of Blood to
 Young Idol Hurt in SandlOt Game

Washington, D. C.-Hero wor- ship has it's rewards as the follow ing story from the Tower, the un- dergraduate newspaper of the Catholic University of America at Washington, D. C., reveals, and a small boys devotion to football which nearly cost him his life, also restored him to health.
 "C. us football captain, Bill Conter, has recently acquired a new blood relative.
 'In the afternoons as the sta- dium resounds to the boom of countless voices, scarlet jerseys plunging, twisting and lodging, there are enacted, unknown to the world outside, comedies and trage- dies galore. Scarcely noticed, yet in a common background, dwell the town boys. Young, happy go-lucky hero wroshippers. They serve a destiny almost as muddled and pre- carious as their sisters. One of these is little Billy Montgomery.
 "To say that Billy marveled at the dexterity of Captain Conter's natural football technique is put ting it mildly. He idealized the fair, shaggy headed giant. And os about these two this bit revolves.
 Recently, on a stony lot, a few village lads were playing football. Frail, shy Billy was running and swerving through a broken field. Tackled from behind, the youth fell to the ground. where he lay still Tor few minutes. But he didn't cry. Gosh, y'all never see 'em cry when they get tackled at c. U.' Billy could have cried with a per- fectly good reason.
 When at home for supper Flash Montgomery suddenly lost his ap- petite. but insisted, Nom, I feel

skell; 'snuthing the matter Later to the questions of his parents, and because of the pain, Billy con- fessed sore hip. A doctor was called and the frail little tormented body was taken to Children's hos pital.
 Some days passed before the news reached the c. U. locker room that the boy was dying. Silently, but quite as usaul. the huskies filed out, toward the dining hall.
 Bill Conter arrived at the hos pital. only to find Bob Makofsko there ahead of him. Both confess ed the desire to supply much needed blood transfusion. Soon Tom Oliver, the product of farmer climes, filed in. He, too, wanted to help Billy. The next surprise came in the form of 'Shag' Shaughnessy. regular tackle.
 If the four tests, Conter's prov ed to be the one needed, and a quart of the red fluid was trans fused. In the near future a well Billy can sit in the grandstands Bill Conter; him and me is rela- tives.'",

HOME WINE MAKERS BUSY

Not for many years has there been such an opportunity for ann ateur winemakers of England as in the last few months. Women who make their own drinks are de- lighted with fruits and berries this season and are laying in an extra stock of beverages. Wines made from flowers are also said to be of unusually good lauqtiyetaoi of unusually good quality, and those of cowslip and dandelion are now being decanted in many north Lincolnshire villages. This sea- sons elderberries are stated to be exceedingly luscious, and wine from these is in great demand as a cough preventive in winter. Bram- bles. apples, pears and plums, all of which are plentiful, also make good wines. In the North Lincoln shire Wolds the most sought-after beverage is unusually plentiful. This is sloe-gin, made from the small plum-like fruits, which grow on the blackthorn.

Providence, R. I.-Expressing the need for 'direct first hand ex- change of views between govern ment and business as something ''vitally needed at this time," Hem ry D. Sharpe of this city, presi- dent of the New England Council, to-day issued a formal cali for the Tenth New England Conference, annual town meeting of New England to appoint delegates for the sessions to be held in Boston, Thursday and Friday, November 22-23, and to all interested busi- ness men throughout New Eng land to plan to participate.
 "To an unprecedented degree" !" President Sharpe announced, f'the Tenth New England Conference will be meeting place of repre- sentatives of business and govern ment. Its chief concern will be those issues arising out of the vast extension of the powers of govern ment over matters formerly left to private enterprise and individual initiative. Major measures of the national program for relief and re- covery will be interpreted by dis tinguished members of the admin istration at Washington. In addi- tion to the governors, 8 number of New England's senators and representatives, all of whom have been invited to attend, will be present.
 "The Tenth New England Con- ference will thus afford an excep- tionally favorable opportunity for the direct, first-hand exchange of views between government and business, that is so vitally needed at this time. This exchange should assist in establishing in New England that better under standing which is essential to wholesome economic recovery.
 "In order that such exchange may be fully effective, it is neces- sary that every section and every

Dear Mr.. Pardum:
Please refer to your letter of Ap-
ril 25, wherein we were advised by
your division that drawings and spe-
cifications have been prepared for
overhead grilles in the post office
screen line at Ell Centre.
Bids were advertised in due course
and opened on May l and submitted
to the treasury department. Since
then nothing further has been heard
of the matter. May we ask you to go
into the affair again and see if it Is
not possible to have this contract
Immediately awarded for installa-
ton of these grilles? There exists
here an intolerable situation due to
the fact that the griIles are not in
places and it therefore becomes nee
eSsary to keep the post office lock-
ed during the evening hours at very
great inconvenience to the patrons
Of the post office.
Yours very truly,
