IN PRESENTING "STAR IN MY

at the rails CneaCre, Inc GaZeCLe is making
available free to housewives and others in
the community who may be interested, what
we believe to be the finest combination of
instruction in the art of home making and
entertainment yet available.
'The Bride Wakes Up" was the first
movie cooking school, an experiment made
possible through the united effort of weekly
newspapers throughout the country, CO.
operating with certain big manufacturers
and local distributors. AS sponsor and CO.
sponsor of several previous cooking school
attempts, The Gazette had number of un-
fortunate experiences notably one in which
the promoter turned out to be a mediocre
cook and another in which the cook failed
miserably at promotion. We were one of
the first papers to sign up for the movie
idea, recognizing the value of a school in
which at least the quality of the perform
ance was assured.
No apologies need be made for ''The
Bride Wakes Up" successfully staged here
a year ago, but in making "Star in My Kit
chen" the director had the advice of hun
dreds of publishers and a great many let
tiers from some three million women who
goes without saying that "Star in My Kit
chen" is infinitely better. Although re-
leased less than month ago, it already is
acclaimed as having retained the finer points
of the first picture and added to the inter-
est features without sacrificing the practic-
al side.
Lest the idea get abroad that schools
of this sort are great financial boon to the
newspaper, we assure our readers that while
publishers hope eventually the expense of
staging the event will be more than offset by
advertising revenue, the two probably will
not meet before the fourth or fifth such en-
form with ho1r, 1lyy ho
Gazette brings "Star. in My Kitchen" as a
community building event, believing such
promotions are essential in a community
which expects to grow and develop. The list
of gifts and the advertising in this issue
testify that a majority of our fellow bust
ness men agree.
MIXING UP STATE OFFICES WITH
Republicans in some and Farmer-Laborites
in others has advantages because there is a
tendency during campaigns for each group
to tell on the other fellow from figures
available in the offices held.
Right now Ray P. Chase is digging
around in the Offices of Stafford King and
Mike Holm and airing some state affairs
with the aim of embarrassing the governor,
ct al. This weeks release deals with the in
crease in state payrolls under the FL re-
gime.
Why, Mr.. Chase wants to know, has
Minnesota's list of state employees increas-
ed from 1881 to 1890 from 1880 to 1886,
a Jump of $3.50. Among states of compar-
able population, Iowa has jumped it's staff
from 1850 to 5000 and Wisconsin, from
9,875 to 1850, in the same period.
Industrial machinery may cut down
the number of jobs but not so the political
machine. The fellow who builds better
one has a beaten track to his door, made by
political hangers-on. Minnesota has plenty
of them but Abe Harris letter next week
will find the answer, if it's only to point out
that the COP wasn't doing so bad in 1880
when it had 212 times as many followers on
the tax rolls as Iowa, which is very close to
us in population.
THE NEW STATE LAW REQUIRING
drivers to report all accidents resulting in
personal injuries or $50 or more property
damage makes available some interesting
figures on the how and why of the highway
slaughter.
In February, Minnesota had 43 motor
car accident fatalities in sos accidents re
ported. Of the 1893 drivers involved, there
was evidence of liquor in 70 cases while So
were driving at excessive speeds and an
other SO were on the wrong side of the road.
The hours from 6 to p. m. and IL to a.
m. Were the most dangerous although the
entire period from 6 p. m. to p m. was
dangerous. Sunday was the most hazard
GUS day to drive, Saturday next and We'd
nesday the safest.
Of the 43 victims, II were pedestrians.
Ten were females and 33 males. Inexper-
fence was an excuse in only a small minority
of the cases, all but five of the drivers hav-
ing had five or more years experience in driv-
ing. Contrary to the prevalent opinion that
older persons and youngsters are dangerous
drivers, accidents most often befell drivers
between the ages of % and 80
MINNESOTA'S HIGHWAY DEPART
ment is issuing a new highway condition
map and local residents are curious to know
what it will show for highway II. To keep
it honest, new legend should be added to
the list which includes paved, bituminous,
gravel and unsurfaced, describing this route
as rough the year around, impossible at
points in the spring, impossible to clear in
an average winter"
Possibly instead the department will
label it Under Construction" and promptly
advertise for bids, let the contract and push
