Colonial Dutch Ovens

The early Colonial American
Dutch ovens were round, square, or
oblong, with an open front. The
round variety was otter fitted with a
spit turned by handle on the out
side, to roast meat. Otherwise the
ovens we're used for baking. The
open side was set close to the fire, to
receive the full heat. Usually they
were constructed OF tin which gave
them the name OF tin kitchen" or
Dutch kitchen" The bake kettle,
covered receptacle on high legs
to set over the fire, was sometimes
called a Dutch oven.

Pygmy Hippopotamus

The pygmy hippopotamus is found
only in few lakes and rivers Of
Liberia, the Negro republic of West

in prehistoric times inhabited
southern Europe, northern Africa,
and the islands If the Mediterran-
can. The pygmy is not SO well
equipped for swimming as the giant

1t Doesn't Pay
Doing Favors for Others With
Thought of Return Disappoints

"THE older | grow the more l
4 am appalled, by the ingrati-
tude, the complete lack of sense
of obligation on the part of eur
fellow human beings.
with me the people who come
first are always those to whom |

Anything that is done for me is
constantly on my mind and l am
on the lookout to repay. But look
about you and you will observe
the most inconceivable indiffer-
ence on the part of most other
wise decent people to what they
owe to others. Indeed the code
seems to be to cultivate those
from whom some advantage may
be forthcoming and neglect those
to whom we are indebted. The
answer to it all is to put yourself
out for nobody; it doesn't pay. :
The above lament was received
by an international writer Of note,
who answers as follows:
1t must have been an unusually
unfortunate chain of experiences
that gave this woman such an I'm
happy slant on human nature. But
certain it is that favoEs done with
thought of return are bound tc
bring disappointment. In this
busy, hectic world, people are
likely to be rather casual about
give and take. That does not
necessarily mean that they are
unappreciative. They are just not
punctilious. Frequently kind

enough Of people to put ourselves
out for them, as our reader says,
there must be certain amount
of faith.
If we do things for others only
because we want to do them and

we have nothing to lose. But the

Cheap Housing

Within the next lew weeks FreSl-

try into his confidence about his
plans for cheap housing. He has

Of constructing any sort Of house
which the President was willing to

sorts of political pitfalls in the idea.
For example, if the type of house
thus approved should be cheap

his warmest supporters. They would
say that the President. himself &C
customed from boyhood to luxury,
was condemning the forgotten
man" to niggardly existence.
But every time the President has
tried to get something better
devised, something he would be
willing to endorse publicly. and to
which government sanction could
be given, the costs have shot up far
above any reasonable rent figure.
Costs Too High
In the case of the house designed
by the General Electric prople, at
the urging of the President and of
Owen D. Young, what ran the costs
up to such prohihitive figure were
the fittings. Naturally enough the
electric company's experts were in
terested in having every possible
electrical device included.
1t would seem simple enough to
cut all these out, but there again the
Presidents enthusiasm for increas-

NATIONAL CAPlTALA
By Carter Field ~
FAMOUS WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT


happen to have success in all those
eastern states, it just might turn
out that they are right.
Iowa is a perfect illustration OF
how abnormal the present campaign
is. Normally the farmers OF any OF
these states, down to Missouri, are
Republicans. This has been true
ever since the Republican party
was born.
Today in Iowa there is strong
sentiment for Landon in the towns,
but the farmers are leaning to
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Best opinion
is that the state is SO close at this
moment that nobody knows how it
would vote even if the election were
held today, with no further slides,
shifts or developments to comph-
cate the calculation.
II the election we're held today
Senator L. j. Dickinson would be
reelected, probably by just few
thousand majority Nobody can tell
whether Roosevelt or Landon would
win the electoral votes, but the
Democrats would probably elect the
other senator.
Doubtful Chances
II there is a substantial swing
toward the Democrats between now
and election, it would carry Senator
Dickinson down to defeat. II the
swing is the other way, the Repub-
lican nominee for the seat of the
late Senator Louis Murphy, who was
killed in an automobile accident,
would win. This is Berry F. Halden.
an editor down in Lucas county,
famed through the southern part of
| the state for his pungent editorials,
and a World war veteran. His OPP
ponent for the short term Is Repre-
sentative Guy M. Gillette.
The one thing that seems certain,
no matter what the swing from now
on, is that George A. Wilson, Re-
publican, will be elected governor.
This is due less to Wilson'S pop
ularity, though this is real factor,
than to the unpopularity of the pres
| ent state administration. Taxes are
high, including state sales tax,
and the folks don't seem to think
they have gotten much for them.
This is one element OF Senator
! Dickinson's strength, for it is the
| present governor, Clyde L. Herring
who is running against Dickinson,
while the present lieutenant gov
ernor is running for governor
against Wilson.
What the Republicans are count
ing on to turn the tide is Former
! Governor Frank O. LoWden of ILL
nois. Iowa has always been strong
for Frank LoWden. 1t was even
more enthusiastic for him back in
1920, when Warren G. Harding was
nominated, than was either Illinois
or Minnesota, where he was born
l.owden is expected to make Some
strong speeches for Landon. If he
does, unless something should hap
pen to upset the present picture,
the writer's belief is that Landon
will carry this state. If LoWder
keeps quiet, his not speaking will
have the opposite effect, and, in the
opinion Of this writer. will give Iowa
to Roosevelt.

RHODE ISLAND PLAN
To Compensate Idle Held In
Line With Democracy

Providence, r. /. (ILNS)-In bring
ing to bear upon the problem of un
employment compensation legislation
the point of view Of labor and other
interests affected, Rhode Island has
followed a three-century tradition of
democracy, R. Gordon Wagenet, head
OF the Bureau of Unemployment Com
pensation of the Social Security Board,
said here, in addressing a meeting to
mark the Inauguration of Rhode
Islands recently established unem.
ployment compensation program.
Wagenet referred to the work of
the unemployment insurance fund
commission, appointed early in 1895,
which was made up of representatives
of industry, labor and the general
public, as we'll as members of the
state legislature. 1t was this com
mission that drafted the legislation
which on May 5, 1886, became law in
Rhode Island. One of the provisions
of the law calls for the appointment,
by the governor, of a board Of three
TO administer the law, made up of
Representatives of the general public
of industry and of labor.
Discussing the benefits of an nm
employment compensation law, Wag-
enet declared that they went further
than the immediate results to the
unemployed worker. "What unem-
ployment compensation does for the
unemployed man receiving weekly
benefits is but one phase of the pic
ture," ne said. Equally important
are It's ramifications in the lives Of
others.
Let me give a parallel example to
illustrate. A man owns house; he
nsures it against fire; it burns. What
happens? The money he collects paws
Tor new house. Not only has he
assurance and the financial credit
that goes with the forethought that
provided for the contingency. but IN
getting the money to rebuild he puts
new labor to work. Without such in
surance and with no private resources
he is lost"
