HOME ECONOMICS

Sometime ago, I remember prais-
ing you seventh graders for your
ability to follow instructions, but
now now you let me down.
I really mean that, because Miss
Cary told me you folks can't re-
member thing as far as cooking
and following instructions are con-
cerned. I suggest you snap out of
1t or perhaps you kids better apply
for a patent on breakfast beverages,
the most prominent one being
cocoa.
The eighth graders are acquaint-
ing themselves with neck hastings
and the fitting of sleeves into
dresses. OF course, you remember
they are working on cotton gar
ments now. BY the way when we
honored those students who receiv-
ed an A in their six-weeks test,
we overlooked your class. With
your permission and forgiveness let
me present them now. Ladies and
gentlemen meet Aileen Edoff, Fran
ces Satoff and Alvina Weiner.
I have been informed that part
Of the freshman class have finish
ed their first sewing unit, and are
now doing extra credit projects
while they wait for the rest of
you kids to catch up) This pro-
ject consists of making a slip, apron
or child's dress.
AS I said before, the sophomores
have determined the number OF
calories they need daily. They have
also planned menus for the three
daily meals-I neglected to borrow
one just to show you, however.
Now, I understand they are pre-
pairing invitations for some affair
they are giving next week. Just
what it is they would not say-yet
ELEMENTARY BUSYBODIES
Guess what the kindergarten
children have in their room? It's
in a bowl of water and is of a
bright orange color-well, you
should know by now-it's a gold
fish. Just peek in sometime and
watch them admire it. They have
two more songs added to their col
lection, "Sing a Song" and play
It." A new cellophone, which they
received few days ago, and piano
furnish the music for their songs.
They are now preparing for East
err. Some of the things they are
doing are: learning several Easter
songs, making Easter rabbits, and
cutting out various other pictures.
In their picture frame they have

trated. Some of the children
brought pussy willows for their
room and they have already learn
ed a song about them.
The pupils of Miss Sather have
begun drawing pictures for their
Art Project. They are now making
wall hangings as their first pro
ject. These hangings are made in
units Of four pictures each; there
fore their room has also been div
ided into four groups. Their wall
hangings are all given titles such

munities. they obtained a sufficient
underworld following to obtain con-
troll of a ward in Kansas City's
North End. They persistently added
to this control until they were die
tating the affairs of the entire city
and controlling the Democratic del
egation in national elections. While
engaged in his altruistic efforts in
befriending the poor. Pendergast
was also able to head eight enor-
nous companies which depended on
city contracts for their existence.
To keep these companies in con-
tracts. Hoover points out. it was
necessary for Pendergast to control
elections, and to do this he had to
dish out largess to the forces which
cooperate best with corruption.
Eventually the Kansas City police
department was controlled by an ex-
convict and all other manifestations
of vice were in charge Of henchmen
who collected tribute and paid it into
the Pendergast machine. AS a re-
suit. Kansas City became a haven
for vicious killers, criminals. bank
robbers and kidnappers, all of whom
were assured of protection.
In an investigation Of election
frauds in Kansas City by the Fed
eral Grand Jury following the ma
tional election in 1886. three hum
dred persons were convicted but
there was still nothing to implicate
Pendergast in these putrid scandals.
He was eventually tripped by his
own avarice. A huge sum Of graft
money was unaccounted for in his
income tax return and an investiga-
ton was started. Pendergast's Sec
retary committed suicide after ques.
tioning and Pendergast plead guilty
and was sentenced to prison. His
conviction came as a result of fear
less determination not only on the
part Of Attorney General Murphy
but Of several local officers. It's eff
feet has already been far-reaching.
"Once given the opening. the De-
partment of Justice will move in
swiftly and surely. impervious to
any political power which strives to
halt it." Hoover says. But it must
and can act only within it's jurisdic-
tion. The adversary it most eagerly
seeks is the crook behind the scenes,
the corrupt and venal politician. But
the other fellow can't help you un-
less you help yourself"

Peso Rises
Due To War

Rise of the Mexican peso this
week popped up business in Nogales.
The peso, which has been increas-
ing in value since the outbreak OF
the European war, rose to 5.15-5.2O
to the dollar in Mexico City
Wednesday.
This marked the highest level, up
to Wednesday, since the fall to 500
to the dollar last June incident to
the uncertainty over the U. S. treas
ury's silver purchase policy.
Exchange experts attributed the
rise to heavy sales of dollars by
Mexicans who believe the war will
