On Illinois Atlas

A survey of the names of towns
in Illinois shows that this state has
an Alpha and an Omega. Fideli-
ty, Equality and Confidence are
represented. One can travel with
in it's borders to Vienna, Venice,
Havana, or even America.
Games represented are Polo and
Rugby. Fair Weather is not very
far from Snowflake, and Rising
Sun isn't much farther south.
There are Chill and Sandwich,
if one is hungry. There are Prince,
Diamond, Zenith, Raven, Mead
ows, Eagle, White Pigeon, Rose
bud and Romeo, all evidences of
the romantic strain in the early
settler. The towns too often show
no evidence that the dream of the
early settler was justifed.-Chi.

Anglicize Names of Cities

One Of the interesting by-products
of travel, according to an authority.
is the realization that the names by
which we know European cities are,
in most cases, Anglicized versions
of the names by which they were
christened True, no geography book
is needed to help one ferret out the
identity of Roma with Rome, Milano
with Milan and Geneva with Genoa;
but not all Americans know that
hometown residents call Florence
not Florence but Firenze; Venice,
Venezia, and Leghorn, Livorno. Nor
is it so easy to spot at glance
such cities as Wien, Anvers and
Kol1l-known in this country as vi
emma, Antwerp and Cologne-unless
you've actually been there.

By LEMUEL F. PARTON

NEW YORK.-Mrs. Joseph P.
l y Kennedy has been an effective
social and political ally of both her
father, former mayor of Boston, and
her husband, am
Mrs. Kennedy bassador to the
Aids Father Court of st.
and Husband James. But the
news that, in ac-
cordance with her husbands deci-
sion, she presented only seven
American women at court is one of
her rare appearances in the head
lines.
The II engaging Kennedys have
been viewed more or less en- bloc in
the news and Mrs. Kennedy has
never been in a very sharp lens
focus.
She was one of the prettiest
of Boston debutantes, 80 years
ago, a rollicking girl with black
hair and eyes of Irish blue.
Back home from her convent
training, she taught her father
"Sweet Adeline."
He was John F. (Honey Fitz) Fitz-
gerald, and in his campaigns he
sang his way to memorable political
fame-riding like a surfboard the
long, lingering 'swipes" of the song
taught him by his daughter-"the
flower of his heart"
Joseph P. Kennedy, her. childhood
playmate, was twenty-five years old
when they were

Family GreU He borrowed ST.

500 house. Their fortunes grew as
their family, with Mr.. Kennedy
president of bank, in year or two
after their marriage.
Mrs. Kennedy once told Boston
drygoods clerk that she bought 200
suits and dresses year. 1t takes
heap of shopping to make home,
like the Kennedys', and she became
known among her friends as para
gon of household efficiency COM

said, is matched only by the one
the Aga Khan gave his princess.
But she never lets the children
run. to unseemly display, hold
ing them to restraint in regime
and dress. Even without all
these adventurous fxings, say
her friends, she would be an adj

her own quite adequate equip

KEEP EGGS COOL"

Keep Eggs Cool in Winter"
sounds Like an easy slogan for poul-
trylnen to follow, but, says w. D.
Buchanan, extension poultrynan.
State College Of Washington. it
isn't as easy as it sounds.
Eggs that are to be marketed
should be kept in the same condi-
ton in winter that they are in
summer. Obviously, the method in
volved in keeping them that way
vary widely with the two seasons.
For one thing, eggs freeze at %
degrees below zero, but they are
best when packed at temperatures
from 40 to SO degrees above zero.
In other words. in cold weather the
poultryman must gather his eggs
frequently to prevent the cold from.
njuring them, but if he takes them
into bis warm dwelling to pack
them, he will injure them by get

SENIOR BIOGRAPHIES

Annette Martha Buckholt
This young debutante was born
in Kennewick on September Is,
(F'riday, must have beenO 1920
Quite curiously it has taken her
the accustomed twelve years to
complete her elementary and high
school course.
Annette started and stayed in
school in Hanford for one half a
year. Then she strayed to Califor-
mia which she liked so much. She
stayed there until the second grade
was completed. Hanford is credited
with her schooling from the SCI.
ond grammar school year through
her Sophomore year. The first
semester of her Junior career was
spent at Cleveland and Pittsburgh
and now White Bluffs is putting
on the finishing touches.
Annette Martha was the presi-
dent of her Freshman and Sophie
more classes, and parliamentarian
for the Hanford Student Body.
This girls hobby is making and
eating candy. One favorite stunt is
to go to shows with Lorena Sla-
vens and another issnooping around
penniless, in department stores. The
latter sounds like rather an embar-
RAISING pastine to me, but perhaps
Annie meant one of the department
stores in her home town.
Annette Martha's favorite break
fast consists of cream puffs, cherry
soup, goats milk and macaroni
and cheese.
Her pet peeves are Butch" Der

eyes,. The sport in which she loves
best to indulge is swimming and
she can really swim! Her pet SUBJ
iect this year is "Physics' and Mr..

HIGHWAY SAFETY

Every now and then there is vigorous cam
paign to reduce the astounding toll of automobile
accidents and fatalities. Most of the campaigns
are drive against careless and fast drivers based
apparently on the theory that if we reform the
drivers the number of accidents will be cut to'a
minimum
The problem, however, is four-fold. 1t is not
only the careless driver that is to blame for our
many highway fatalities, but highways that
inadequate for the present-day motorcars; defec-
tive equipment, and thoughtess pedestrians as
we'll.
We must attack the driver hazard by every
available means. But granted that all of the driv
ers the highway were to qualify under the
most rigid tests as safe and careful drivers there
would still be tremendous number of highway
fatalities for the other contributing factors would
still be in operation
The hazard of faulty equipment should be cut
to the minimum by condemning many of the cars
on the roads to the junl1pile, and requiring
every motorist to have his car tested regularly.
Pedestrians should be constantly reminded of
their duties in making the highways safer and
something should be done toward saner program
of development Of cars by the manufacturers
a halt in the toward speedier and more pow
erful machines an attention to the features which
will make for safe handling.

TAX FREE PUBLIC SERVANTS

There does not seem, to the average observer,
either rhyme reason in the practice of exempt
ing state and local government employees from
paying federal income taxes on their salaries.
Federal employees are not exempt; even the
salary. But he does not have to pay New York
state income tax on what he draws from the fed
eral treasury, nor does the Governor of New York
pay Uncle Sam tax on his salary
The practice of not taxing state salaries by the
federal government federal salaries by the state
governments is an old one. 1t rests on a decision
by Chief Justice John Marshall i'm 1919, thatano
government tax the instlumentaties of an
other government. That was long before there
were either state or federal income taxes.
There are about =, 400, 600 persons who now pay
federal income taxes There are almost exactly
the same number of state and local government
employees who do not pay federal income tax.
Many OF these, OF course, receive salaries low
that they would be exempt under present income
tax laws. But the movement is strong toward
lowering the exemptions and SO broadening the
tax base That would bring a higher proportion
of saaried state, county and municipal employees
INTO the nol-nromc-tn TN class.
To the average man. the person on state or
local government payroll seems to have privileges
enough without this He or she is generally
assured of a life job With retirement pension.
There is no good reason why he should not pay

ting them too warm. They should
be packed in an insulated egg
room-the same egg room that
keeps the eggs cool in summer.
If the egg room is too cold to
work in, however, the eggs may ,be
packed in a cool room in the
dwelling.
If eggs are cooler than the tenn
perature of the room in which they
are packed in cases, then moisture
forms on the egg shell. This nlois-
ture makes it almost impossible to
pack the egg without getting if
dirty, and dirty eggs are graded
down when marketed.
OF course, dirty eggs may be-
cleaned, but, as Mr. Buchanan
points out, cleaning eggs takes ~
lot of time and hard work, and.
more important, the cleaning op.
GRAFTON lowers the quality of the
egg, even though it does improve
it's appearance.
After the eggs are packed in the
cases they should be kept in the
insulated egg room where their
temperature will not get much
above or below 80 degrees above
zero. Then when they are being
taken to the place where they are
shipped, care must be taken that
they do not freeze, if the weather
is cold.

LOW COST MEALS
ARE APPETIZING
BY Jeanette HI. Crllm, Nutritionist,
Washington State Dairy Council

With a brand new year to plan
for there are often changes to be
made in the budget. For those who
would reduce the amount spent for
food it is wise to consider carefully
how best to cut the corners with
out reducing the food value of the
meals or without making them less
palatable to the family.
Unusually a saving can be made
by changing the menu to contain
less expensive foods more attrac-
lively prepared and served. Balance
the costly foods in meal against
less expensive ones. For example
with a fruit salad containing pine
apple and an expensive grade of
other canned fruits, serve an mex
pensive meat as broiled ground beef
and a seasonal vegetable as broc-
coli or carrots. When serving
comparatively inexpensive first
course such as pot roast of beet
with vegetables, it is possible to
indulge in a more expensive dessert
such as date torte with whipped
cream.
Some families like to have meat
less meals for several days and
then indulge in a highly expensive
cut of meat. This is unwise because
the body needs a given amount Of
food supplying animal protein ev-
cry day. 1t is not able to store for
future use the excessive amount
which may be consumed on one
day. It is recommended for .opti-
mum nutrition that adults in the
prime of life and children have a
serving of meat, fish or cheese
daily. This is needed in addition to
the two to four glasses of milk
used daily and the eggs served sew
eral times a week, daily if possible
The following dinner menus have
approximately the same food value.
The first is high and the second is
low in cost:
