Friends of Onion to Arms.
(Indianapois News.)

Strong men, strong issues and strong onions in- spire both bitter foes and staunch friends When Cornell University scientists, therefore who have successfully produced nonsmelling cabbage without engendering noticeable concern-for who could cour- ageously defend the unromantic smell of cooking Icabbage?-turned their antiodorizing research to onions, it only natural that allies of this tear eyoking bulb should jump immediately to their defense guns
 Foes of onions have their arguments, of course. They cite the detrimental effect of this odorferous vegetable or budding romance, but onion supporters reply that romance that survives ononized kiss is true beyond doubt Conversation, say opponents, is menaced by this antisocial delcacy of the menu; onion friends retort it is not antsocia but rather la sure test of friendship and ability to concentrate on more momentous subjects One suggests that a chunk of squash or piece of turnip might well be placed in rich meat dish salad as onion bereft of it's odor, for there will be anything to take the place of onion"
 Whatever science may do to onions there re- mains the encouraging possibility that may not affect these neutrals who like to eat the tops

 Plans are now being perfected to celebrate the opening of Set tiers Village. Up to this time Pres- ident Franklin D. Roosevelt has not turned down the invitation ex- tended to him to participate in the ceremonies as the honored guest along with Governor Wilbur L.
