Fall Brings
Craving For
Barbecue
Girl Says She's
'HOmesick' for
Western Food
PRIZE CONTRIBUTION

pRIZE CONTRIBUTION
By ANN MYERS, IS. OF 1925 Thir-
teenth street NV: Roosevelt
High School.
Whenever fall comes with its
clear, crisp. golden days and the
ever-present odor of burning leaves,
I develop a case of Inconsistencies
only, in this particular instance,
the fault is not in my mind but has
to do with my stomach. 1t honestly
Is a terrible sort Of feeling: it's q
constant hunger for true Western
barbecue.
No one who has ever eaten the
Western barbecue can forget the Joy
Of sinking his teeth into the deli
cious meat, the just plain ecstasy Of
eating something so good that 1t
seems almost too perfect to use as
food. Those barbecues are really
swell, let me tell you!
Out in Texas, the annual barbe-
cue, which is in the fall, is missed
only by women with a will of iron,
who are terribly plump and trying
to diet. Other than those few the
whole town attends.
Early on the morning of the event,
the pit is made ready for - huge
steer or OK, as the case may be.
This pit was dug the night before
and filled with wood and grass. BY
the time the steer arrives. there is
. no wood in the pit. but Goals. This
Is when the fire is the most effective
In roasting the steer.
Now the animal is placed on the
spit and anointed. so to speak, with
q special sauce. Then turned, with
more sauce; turned, sauce Is again
put on, turned-and so forth. until
the steer is pronounced done" by
expert testing Of the cooks and the
sensitive noses Of the crowd.
X \
All this has taken hours, but now
the cooks are slicing it in great
slices, and as the line forms to get
q piece of barbecued steer, the buns
are brought out, the watts of relishes
and sauce lugged forth, and finally
the actual eating.
Never have you tasted anything SO
good! There is flavor of charcoal
slight, but there-that is inde-
scribable. You're sissy if you don't
have more sauce, because it's the
kind that only those Texas barbe-
cuers know how to prepare: and be-
sides, it brings out hidden flavors
In the meat.
There! Now you can share that
terrible sort of feeling, that con-
slant hunger for true Western bar
becue that takes hold of me every
fall.

Lula Mae Watkins. II, of
Monrovia. Md, has a pet" hog
weighing $50 ponhds. His name
is Bossy, and here's what his

When he was little baby

was kicked by a horse and Grip
pied. We brought him into the
house and fed him with nurs-
ing bottle. Mother gave him
baths in a bathtub.
"He soon got so big that we
couldn't keep him in the house.

put him in it. He weighs $50
pounds and still wants to come

BIZ ORLANDO BOCCABELLO, II,

On this great Thanksgiving Day
The turkeys happiness goes away;
Pilgrims landed on Plymouth Rock
And gave the turkeys an awful
shock.
Turkeys do not think 80 well
OF Thanksgiving Day, they tell;
Turkeys hate to be our dish,
But we like them more than fsh.
Indians shot with bows and arrows
While turkeys hid for hours and

When the perfect day Is ended
Turkeys needn't be defended.

WASHINGTON, March 14-It is a fair-to-middling bet tat by the time Congress gets through talking about Hungary's proposal to settle the war treally post-war) debt the cost of printing the discussion in the Congressional Record at $55 page will equal two or three an- nual payments.
 Rumors of the Hungarian debt settlement offer got about the Capitol several days before the announcement was made formal ly and the members of Congress could hardly restrain themselves.
 Let the debtor nations pay us in things we don't have said Senator Schwellenbach of Wash ington. (Mr. Schwellenbach, we don't have any Hungarian leather knee-pants nor do we have Brit ish gas mask, and if we get those we will call off our part of the debt)
 Actually the debts don't figure up to so much when spread among the population. If tn e debtor countries were making their payments now it would be in the neighborhood of 75,o0O,O00 a year, or $220 a person.
 What the Hungary offer seems almost certain to do is to revive the whole debt discussion. If Hum

 Darrow was an agnostic. He re- garded Christ as an ancient phil osopher and benefactor and was an earnest pleader for the Christian virtues of mercy and charity. In his writings and appeals to juries he frequently spoke of qualities given by God. By this usage oi the name of divinity he meant the forces that motivate man. The ex- istence of such forces he readily admitted.
 In the leisure of his later years Darrow participated in many joint debates on religion, usually with a Jew, Catholic and Protestant Tn these four-sided affairs each expounded his own views. Darrow crusaded for the cause of labor. Few men were so un- flinching. Once his valor nearly exacted his life.

Nations Most Famous Defense
 Attorney Dies
Clarence 5. Darrow Passes Away in Chicago at
 Age of 80 Years

CHICAGO, H., March 14.-Clar- ence s. Darrow, who went from a $50 a month country school teacher to the nations most famous de- fense attorney, died yesterday after a long illness with heart ailment at the age of 30.
 With DarroW at the end were his wife Ruby, son Paul, and sister, Mrs. Darrow Morrow.
 Darrow fought for the poor and oppressed, the captive and the weak because he said: Those found ir prisons are practically always poor. It is a game where the dice is loaded against the victim and the latter is almost sure to lose.
 Clarence Darrow, at the age Of 37, walked out as general counsel for great railroad and assumed the role the world knew best: at torney for the defense.
 This was in 1894-the year of the American Railway Union strike, headed by Eugene " Debs, Socialist leader. A Federal court injunction against the union activities had been granted upon petition of the railroads, and Debs had been in dicted for conspiracy.
 Darrow .sympathized with the strikers. Then a follower of Henry George, apostle of the single tax theory, Darrow's Bible was Georges Progress and Poverty" and his views-political and social-were to the left. He felt embarrassed over the incompatibility of these views with his position as general counsel for the Chicago and Northwestern system, many of whose workers par ticipated in the strike. When Debs persuaded the young corporation lawyer to conduct his defense, Dar- row resigned his railroad job.
 The government dismissed the criminal conspiracy charge against Debs when a jurors illness halted the trial. The remaining eleven jurors reported themselves as ten to one for acquittal.
 The decision to defend Debs, " Darrcw once said, Ted me away from the world of wealth to that of wretchedness and misery. For making it, I've had no regrets
 It was decision that brought to the soft-voiced, twinkle-eyed humanitarian many renowned vic- tories in the defense of his social views and theories.
 Darrow hated capital punishment. In an inflamed Chicago, amid the clamor for the lives of Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb. he pleaded for time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men" and gained sen tences of life imprisonment for the kidnapers and slayers of Bobby Franks.
 Defends Freedom of Thought

HOW IT STARTED

In announcing the proposal, John Pelenyi, tall handsome and Ameri- can-toned Hungarian m ini s te r, called reporters to the Chancery, an apartment on 16th street Choicest item served was a little decorated test tube of Hungarian peach bran dy, which burned softly, like hot cotton, and smelled of blossoms.
 Then the chubbyish financial ad- visor passed out copies of the Hun garion proposal This is it's basis:
 Tn 1920 Hungary, wasted from fighting the Allies, desperately needed food and the U. s. sent over 13,890 tons of flour worth s1 .685 900. By 1924 interest totalled $253,000 Tn funding agreement reached that year the two sums were Jumped together and Hungary began paying. By 1881 it had paid S478, 8,0O0 and then stopped. No money in the till
 Now it asks the United States to credit that $478, ,000-nearly all of which was interest-against the original Sl .685, 900 due for the flour.
