New Action in Mooney Case
Brings Hope of Settlement

Hope Cor clear determination of the
facts in the case of Thomas j.
Mooney, in California, is expressed
by the press of the country, as the
United States Supreme Court inter-
venes. After serving 18 years OF a
sentence for alleged participation in
a bombing connected with a Pre-
paredness day parade, the prisoner. 1t
is declared, is now assured OF full
justice. Legal technicalities have pre-
vented consideration of new evidence,
and several Governors of the State
have rejected pardon pleas.
Many Americans, without reference
to MONEYS guilt or innocence, nave
been outraged by the unyielding at
titude of the California authorities, ="
says the Birmingham Age-Herald,
while the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
holds that "a decision from the high
est court on a review of the evidence
would settle the case with the aver
age American" The Los Angeles
Evening Post believes that "the peo-
pie want the matter settled once and
for all on the basis of the complete
facts" The Oklahoma News feels
that the Supreme Court would ap-
pear to be acting under the broad
constitutional guaranty OF due proc
ess"
The issue is not the guilt or in
noceuce of Mooney" in the judgment
of the Owensboro (Ky.) Messenger,
but whether he was proved guilty
beyond reasonable doubt" and the
st. Joseph (Mo) News-PleSS voices
the thought that citizens ARE con-
cerned to know whether policy OF
expediency is to be preferred to a
policy of elemental justice" The
Akron Beacon Journal finds an OBJ
jectionable contention that red tape
comes before justice"
Perhaps the court took into &C
count" thinks the Buffalo Evening
News, "the statement made by Judge
Franklin A. Griffin of San Francisco,
who presided at the trial OF Mooney
in 1915, that all four of the prosecu-
tons key witnesses perjured them
selves, either intentionally or other
wise. a statement based on facts as
time has established them. There now
should be a review which will leave
no doubt as to where justice lies in
this case"
Thousands who have followed the
case were impressed by the argument
that the evidence was in great part
perjured," says the Brooklyn Times
Union, while the Roanoke World
News, welcoming IAN authoritative re-
view," argues: There is widespread
doubt, both in California and else
where, that justice has been done in
this case. 1t is to be hoped that it
can now be stripped of technicali-
ties-that California can now be re-
quired to bring before the final
tribunal statement of the exact
evidence, and that the matter may
be disposed Of"
Need Of establishing justice is
argued by the Oshkosh (Wis) Daily
Northwestern, the Youngstown Vindi-
Gator, the Bergen IN. J.J Evening
Record, the Rochester Times Union,
the South Bend News Times and the
jamestown IN. W Post. The Tampa
(Fla.) Daily Times suggests that
when the Supreme Court acts, there
ought to be an end of the case," while
the Scranton Times feels sure that
the present action means final deter

Ability to Stop Car
Basis of Traffic Rules

10 the Editor OF The Star:
1 am very much pleased to see in
nuential persons supporting the move
to abolish the Washington speed
limit. After all, there is only one rule
Tor safe driving-drive so that YOU can
always stop in the clear. No legisla-
ton can clarity that rule Some cars
are SAFER at so than others are at 20,
and some drivers are safer at so than
others are at 90 The necessity of
ceaselessly watching the speedometer
or the rear-view mirrors not con-
ductive to safe driving. Some traffic
officers enforce foolish laws so con-
Sclentiously that they lose sight of the
spirit of the law.
The evidence that several writer's in
The Star have produced to prove that
washington motorists are unusually
reckless is not convincing to me. I
nave driven my car for business and
pleasure more than 5000 miles since
the flrst OF August. About three-uuar-
terS OF this distance was outside of the
washington area. I find drivers lust

all the way from Maine to Texas, but
such instances are not typical of the
section in which they occurred. I am
more concerned about reckless STOP
ping than am about the motorist who
knows where he wants to ne and is
trying to get there. Did you ever
watch line of traffic and see the
driver of the leading car apply his or
her brakes Unexpectedly and for no
apparent reason? The third car
usually slides its wheels-or somebody
picks up the glass.
Npst of the reasons advanced by
persons seeking to abolish all-night
parking in Washington read like nom

see how the abolition of street park
ing will make the city safer for women
and children. My wife and daughter
are not walking the streets, unescorted,
in the wee small hours of the morn

legally robbed by garages in several
cities where all-night parking on the
streets is prohibited

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

tees abiding regard for the achieve
mentS of American Secretaries of
State. Charles Evans Hughes was
strongly supported for the prize after
the Washington Naval Conference of
1922. Frank B. Kellogg received the
honor in recognition of his anti-war
pact. The proposal to bestow this
years award upon Secretary Hull is
a tribute to his zeal in seeking to
abolish tariffs and other restrictions
which hamper natural trade inter-
course Judge Hull's experiences in the
State Department convince him that
artificial trade barriers are chronic

cord and perpetual menace to peace.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Cottage cheese is q dish easily made
by any one, even the amateur male
cook, whose numbers have increased
amazingly during the past few years.
Ever since Frederick Philip Stief Of
Baltimore published his Eat, Drink
and Be Merry in Maryland, two years
ago, the tribe of masculine cooks has
grown here.
Even that handbook, however, offers
no recipe for cottage cheese, beloved
OF dieticians as an easy source of
protein.
The Department of Agriculture,
through its home economics service,
has boosted this ancient dish for many
years.
Despite the fact that it is easily
made, a great many people have trou-
BILE with it, and so purchase it.
The commercial variety is very good
and possesses as high nutritive value
as any, but owing to methods of
manufacture has a slightly sharp
many consumers who, never having
tasted the homemade article, think
this is perfection.
X X X n
Homemade cottage cheese is smoother
in taste, rather bland, going well with
all vegetables and fruits.
The secret of real homemade cottage
cheese, as explained by woman cook
who knows her business, is to stir the
sour milk constantly while cooking.
The soured milk is cooked slowly
and for not too long a time over a
gentle fire in order to separate the
curd from the whey.
First, however, the sour cream which
has risen to the top during the "a
hours or more the pail of milk is
standing in the kitchen or other warm
place is skinned off. If skinned
milk is used, this will not be neces-
sary.
If this is not done, where whole
milk is used, according to our mentor,
the product Is given a sour taste.
The big mistake usually made is
failure to stir all the time the cooking
or separation of the curd from the
whey is going on.
When no or little stirring is in
dulged in the curd forms into one
large lump, outwardly becoming
cooked too much. inwardly cooked too
little.
The result is a cheese tough and
poor tasting, some of it cooked too
much, some of it raw.
Gentle but constant stirring breaks
up the curd, giving the heat the
chance to cook thoroughly all parts
Of the mass.
When the separation is complete
the whey is drained off and the cheese
hung up to drain out the remainder.
Usually this is done in some sort of
linen bag arrangement.
After 1t has ceased dripping comes
further operation, necessary in order
to give the product the f1akiness and
sweetness desired.
This consists of breaking it up with
fork, at the same time thereby in
cooperating into it a small quantity
of fresh, sweet cream.
This latter is essential to remove the
terribly dry taste one experiences in
some improperly made cottage cheeses.
X X X
When this dish is rightly made it
has flavor unique.
AS stated, no doubt there are many
persons who have never tasted it So
This is great loss, truly, for any
one who values the clean, wholesome
tastes; and who does not? Not even
the most ardent advocate of the appli-
cation of intelligence and science to
human feeding would advocate a pure
consumption solely on those grounds.

the natural f1avors of natural things,
properly selected and combined.
To use cottage cheese, however,
merely as a spread" is to miss its
dietary importance and its unique
flavor. Its high protein content en-
titles 1t to main place in the meal
at which 1t Is served. Its use as a.
sort of relish covers up its taste and
tends to make 1t harmful excess,

We repeat, commercial cottage
cheese Is an excellent food and very
nice, but if you want to get that ex-
act bland taste we celebrate here YOU
will have to make some yourself-then
see if you don't think you are a pretty
good cook.
Not even all good cooks" can do it
correctly, so do not be disheartened
If the first batch does not come out
right.
Pasteurized milk may be used, de-
spite the fact that some persons insist
that 1t never Sours, but merely rots.
This is mostly hokum. Ordinarily
milk such as used by thousands will
do very well, and as far as we can see
does a very good job of souring
properly.
SKINNED milk, of course, can be
used-in fact, is advocated by many
Its use will make it unnecessary to

The person-and he is legion-who
does not like spinach. but who never
theless has been induced to believe
that it is good for him." will find cot
tage cheese a lifesaver.
If he will take good bite of cheese
along with bite of spinach, he will
find the obnoxious taste of the latter
smoothed out in really wonderful
way.
To many persons this will be the
prime reason for being of this deli
cacy. Anything that will take the
spinach taste out of spinach!
The time will come, of course. when
spinach will be given a less impor-
tant place than it now possesses
Surely 1t is not all that it is credited
with being. and certainly not for the
person who actively dislikes the taste
of it.

not a masquerader, a gustatory wolf

The field of real foods Is so wide
that there is no reason for any one
eating what he does not like, after a
fair trial.

not like kale? Not sensible person,

What is good for you is what the
