THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Now that somebody has invented an
,dorless cabbage, the same thing might
be done for onions, mustard greens,
and caulifower.
To say nothing Of putting some taste
into spinach.
Cooking odors are especially repug-
nant to persons with sensitive nostrils,
but the lack Of taste in spinach Is
really terrible.
Here Is a leafy greens which has
been praised to the skies, but which is
so lacking in true taste that 1t Is q
wonder any one eats 1t.
Nobody would, we feel sure, II 1t
were not for the incessant spinach
propaganda which has gone on for
years.
Thousands Of persons now living
believe they will never die If they eat
spinach.
Life immortal is theirs. they seem
to feel, If they will but imbibe their
daily portion of this fiabby, unhealthy
looking substance.
A new era will dawn for apartment
house dwellers when the odorleSs cab
bage comes on the market. This will
not be for at least two years, it is said.
Until that happy day the cabbage
loving world Of apartments must en-
dure the unending smell one meets
on opening the closed door down in
the hall.
Experts in this sort of thing say it
Is never out of some places, although
undoubtedly worse in the evening.
The casual observer of a calm cab
bage in its market basket will scarce
ly believe it of 1t.
How can this round, fat vegetable
have in its fine green leaves such q
loathsome-to Some-odor?
1t is true that some greet the
aroma, as they call it, with apprecia-
tive Sniffs.
Others shrink from 1t.
To them it is far worse smell than
that emanating from those other cul-
prits, onions, mustard greens and
caulif1ower.
You wouldn't think it Of a cabbage,
just to look at it!
r II
Consider the green vegetables, the
asparagus, baby lima beans, green
beans, string beans, wax beans, beet
tops-some like 'em-broccon, brus-
sci sprouts, celery, chard, chicory-
not so much in this country: chives,
collards, corn, cos, cress, cucumber
many fancy this; dandelion green's,
dock, egg plant, endive, garlic
whew! - kale, leeks - horrible - let
tuce-the ladies favorite; okra, OIL
ives, parsley. peas. peppers, sauer-
kraut, scallions, tomato
The list is long; perhaps this Is not
all Of them, by any means. but surely
it is enough, so that any one who
minds smell in cooking need not have
recourse to onions, cabbage, etc.
Surely this is another matter in
which one mans meat is another's
poison, as they say.
Those who do not mind a cooking
odor do not understand how any one
else possibly can. They agree to call
the latter "finicky," as If that set
tied it or explained anything.
The disagreeable odor of cooking
cabbage is really horrible to such per-
sons as mind 1t.
It belongs to that category Of smells
of which it Is commonly said that you

Henry Kirke Bush. Brown.

Henry Kirke Bush-Brown was one
of those exceptional men in whom an
elemental spirit dwells. His whole life
was dedicated to ideal ends, and the
power that made it so was akin to the
force that moves the universe, sets
stars in the ocean of the sky, carves
mountains, paints forests and fields,
provides even the humblest little brook
with music of its own. The influence
Of gifted and generous uncle whose
name he bore prompted him to dedi-
cate his talents to sculpture, but he
might as easily have been led into
some other department of creative
enterprise. He was an artist in every

prevent an accident.

PUBLIC UTILITY VALUATION FOR
PURPOSES OF RATE CONTROL.
BY John Bauer, Ph.D., and Ma
thaniel Gold, LIB. New York:
The Macmillan Co.
The public utilities are today fight
ing a big fight, for their lives some
say, for their rates. say others. This
book, by the director of the American
Public Utilities Bureau and a member
of the New York bar and lecturer at
the College of the City of New York,
is on a specialized subject which has
an important place in public utility
investigations today and has recently
figured in hearings before congress
Sional committees. The authors out
line the historical development of the
valuation concept, and cite certain
court cases before and since the World
War; discuss the basis of determine
ton of "fair value" under the laws OF
the United States, and conclude with
their ideas of elements necessary to
the establishment of satisfactory
rate base, with chapter on the con-
Stitutional aspects of fixed rate base.
The book deals not only with public
utility regulation, its first aim, but
also with new and growing demands
for the extension of public control in
many other directions.

Yesterday afternoon before 5000
fans in the Butler Bowl, Coach Bob
Nipper's warriors downed rival
Tech, 1876, and gained the city pub
lie high school championship.
There were other fruits of vic
tory also, one share of the all-city
title with Cathedral with whom the
Blue Devils played a scoreless tie
earlier in the season, and the
other permanent possession of the
School Board trophy, emblematic Of
city public high school champion
ship five different years since 1920
1t was a great high school grid
game, one Of the best played IN
the city in years, and between two
of the most brilliant local teams to
meet since football was placed on
the local prep sports program.
Tech also had four legs on the
cup, and victory would have meant
permanent possession for the East
Siders, too.
.Shortridge's first touchdown came
after an uphill drive. Tommy
Snyder's kick bounded to the
ShortYidge safety man on the
1-yard line midway in the first
quarter and the Blue Devils were
forced to punt from their own end
zone.
Jack Brown was equal to the oc-
casion, gaining in the exchange of
punts and reaching midfeld, from
where the Blue opened an attack
of spinners by Dave Allerdice, off
tackle Smashes by Brown and Bart
ley, with which they pushed to a
touchdown, Brown going over on
fourth down from one yard. Gille
blocked Wey's placement attempt
for extra point.
Tech opened with passing at
tack that enabled them to deadlock
the count at Sc at rest time. With
the ball in midfield, Snyder called
for a spread play and Tommy
tossed to Weaver The Tech back
lodged and sideStepped and, behind
quickly formed blocking by his
team mates, dashed forty-seven
yards to a touchdown. A lateral
forward failed for the extra point.

Attacks Annexes
State Negro Title
Watford'S Warriors Pile Up
Score on Lincoln.

The title of Indiana Negro high
school football champions was cap
tured by Alonzo Watford's Crispus
Attacks grid machine yesterday
when the Tigers defeated Lincoln of
Evansville at the local field. $40.
The Attacks warriors tailed in
every period. starting off with two
touchdowns in the first and one in
each thereafter. Richmond scored
three for the Tigers and Thurman
two. Richmond added two extra
points by booting the ball between
the uprights with drop kicks.
DefenSively the Attacks team also
starred, once stopping a Lincoln
drive on the l0-yard line and an
other time on the 27-yard mark
when the DOWNSTAIRS, by consist
ent marching. appeared touchdown
headed. Heavy scoring slowed the
game and it had to be called six
minutes before regulation time be-
cause of darkness.
