fore he was back completely in
his own lane.
In arriving at the suggestion that
cars going more than 80 miles an
hour not be passed, the AAA figured
this out: If the leading car is go
ing 80 miles an hour, the overtaking
car would need about 27 seconds
nearly half minute-to complete
the passing. In distance, its needs
are figured at 1900 feet-about a
quarter of mile-before getting far

OutWardly undismayed. the resi-

There is much the same spirit
about resorts and services that have
felt war restrictions. Atlantic City,
the gay Baghdad-by- -the-sea, shifted
its theme from brightly lighted
night life to restfulness in the glow
of a dimmed-out boardwalk. Gray
Lines in dozens of American cities
enlisted their luxurious buses in
wartime transportation jobs and
put forth horse-draWn rubberneck
wagons with steel-rimmed wheels.

from the station at Ketchum were
to be supplanted.
w. P. Rogers, manager of the
resort, simply stepped up a service
that has been transportation

carriages and stagecoaches. Instead
OF being only picturesque, the trans

Dude Ranches Democratic
In Spirit and in Clothes

SANTA FE, Oct. 31.-The top rail
of the old corral provides common
denominator for guests at all dude
ranches in New Mexico.
It's the place to get acquainted
Dress a millionaire banker and a
store clerk in blue jeans and place
them side by side on the top rail
and you can't tell which is which
and you don't care.
That's one reason dude ranching
is becoming so popular. A man
doesn't have to put up front He
can relax and be himself for a few
days or few weeks. He doesn't
have to worry about what the
Joneses will think.
Formal clothes are not necessary.
Walking shoes are essential. Boots
are preferable for riding, but walk
ing shoes will do. BY all means buy
some Lewis or blue jeans. They are
inexpensive and they are standbys

on all dude ranches. Shirts can be
of any color or material. For late
summer and fall light coats are
needed.
If you're not used to saddle,
don't try to set long distance rec
ord on your first ride. If you do, you
may have to spend the rest of your
vacation standing up.
BY all means take the dude wran-
gler's advice on distances. That
mountain peak over there looks like
it is only a mile away, but actually
it's Is miles and you'll miss dinner
if you try to walk there and back
before sundoWn.
It's a good idea, too, for you to let
the cowboys pick your saddle horse.
That pretty one over there might be
a little skittish and while his color
matches your hair, he may have a

Travel Editor,

1Idfel cultol.
Moderate driving hasn't been ir
vogue since automobile manufac-
turers began to put emphasis or
speedy models and the public re-
sponded with step-on-the-gas
motto. Consequently. a new psyche
logy of auto operation has been i'm
posed on a whole generation OF
drivers since the Barauch rubber re-
port soberly underscored the speed
limit of IS miles per hour. In city
traffic but principally on the oper
highway, the technique of passing
another car has been materially re-
ViSed.
While tire conservation logic in
duced States to decree a limit of &C
miles last spring and summer, the
public's flair for speed and the gen.
eral disposition to faunt highway
restrictions overrode an adjustment
of driving to a slower tempo. The
earnest caution of the rubber re-
port, plus the IS mile-per-hour limit
imposed by the Office of Defense
Transportation October 1, caught
motorists off-stride with the times
They didn't know how to judge GER
tain new dangerous traffic condi-
tions.
Coming face to face with per-
pleXities of 35 m.ph tops in driving
they were puzzled over what to do
No longer could car being driver
at that tantalizing pace-neithel
fast nor slow-be passed in a rush
and the hazard problem disposed

to be reckoned in tire wear or pos
sible revocation of ones gasoline
ration book for speedy driving.
The American Automobile Associa
ton has taken cognizance of the
situation, and has put caution and
advice into words. Drawing up q
general rule, the AAA suggests
Don't pass unless the vehicle ahead
is going 80 m.ph or less, and then
pass only when the assured safe dis
tance ahead is twice as long as
usual"
Passing car without going over
the 35-mile limit is quite a different
thing from passing with an open
throttle and maximum acceleration,
the AAA points out. "On the ave-
rage, it will take about twice as
much distance and twice as much
time as under normal conditions.
IF two cars were travelling at &c
miles per hour, the following car
could, under normal circumstances
accelerate and pass the car ahead
within approximately 10 seconds and
within $50 feet, and would be 60
ing more than IS miles an hour at
the end of the maneuver. How
ever, when passing at a speed of not
more than 35 miles an hour, he
would need 900 feet of road space

Mrs. Reds Forum

The New York Herald Tribune
Forum on Current Problems this year
has special Importance to the whole
world. Already on the opening day
its vast powers of attraction have
been manifested. What is scheduled
to follow is continuance of debate
of international problems certain to
be fascinating to hear or read. The
net result will be in effect re-
education Of millions Of people.
Credit in the circumstances par
ticularly Is due to Mrs. Ogden Mills
Reid, vice president Of the Herald
Tribune Company and sponsor Of
the forum since its start a decade
ago. She has had the vision OF what
such a discussion can mean in a
liberal civilization and she has trans
lated her dream into constructive
reality on ten successive occasions.
The eleventh surely should be the
most valuable of the series. Hitler,
of course, cannot be expected to COM
prehend the meaning Of such q prac-
tical demonstration OF the spiritual
and intellectual dynamic Of democ-
racy; but the generality Of men and
women everywhere will appreciate It.
Mrs. Reid therefore deserves .
hearty vote Of thanks from her uni
versal audience. It perhaps would
have been easier to have Cancelled

added, "only by Affirmative action OF
the Congress. II man fears the
Congress, he fears the people"
However that may be, the fact re-
mains that the salary limitation,
whatever its justification, has be-
come law after the refusal of Con-
gress to grant the Presidents origi-
nal requests. It is the product of a
presidential order and an admins
trative Interpretation, based on a
general congressional authorization
to regulate salaries, and this is not
the least of the reasons for the wide
spread criticism of it, regardless OF
the fact that a very small number of
persons will be directly affected.

Was 1t Decisive?

Admiral Chester w. Nimitz, COM
mander in chief of the United States
Pacific Fleet, has posed something Of
a problem for newspaper headline
writer's.
In headline on news story deal
ing with the repulse of the first
japanese attempt to recapture
Guadalcanal, The Star used the ad-
jective decisive" in reference to the
battle. In subsequent discussion of
the handling of war news, the Presi-
dent called attention to the adjective
and suggested that it. had been mis-
used. Obviously he was right, for the
japanese came back in force.
But in his description of the latest
battle, Admiral Nimitz said: II feel
pretty good. We have just had
great battle-one of the decisive ones
of this war" That leaves the head
line writer's in something of pickle,
since Navy spokesman have warned
that the Japanese may make still
another attack.
Apparently three courses are open
to them. They can follow the advice
OF the President, the lead OF Admiral
Nimitz, or they can forget that there
is such a word a. decisive until the
war Is over. AL things considered,
the last course probably would be
the safest.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Traceweu.

1t makes combination tit for the
legendary gods.
1t Is, of course, the taste. This, like
other good tastes, is impossible to de-
scribe.
It holds bit OF the autumn woods,
and some of the sky, and great deal OF
the warmth Of friendly people.
It might seem impossible to some to
have real pumpkin pie where people
aren't friendly.
Right in the center Of Main street
there Is a little restaurant.
1t is college town. ..
It is one of many small restaurants.
The buildings are from the 1906.
They have no architecture, but many
false fronts. If you stand down to one
side, at the end Of the block, you can see
them easily. Some even go to the extent
OF having windows, and one glorious ex-
ample has curtains at windows which are
walled up behind. One wonders why
such false fronts" were ever evolved,
and then realizes that they are based
SOudly on human nature.
In this restaurant there is small
table. There is bill OF fare, but the
customer has but one dish in mind.
He recalls a day. Is years ago, when
he breezed In there, one cold, windy
day, and got the best pumpkin pie he
ever ate.
Or was 1t so good because he was in
his 20s?
Let us sit down, and order pumpkin
pie and milk.
There is delicious moment Of anti
cipation. Outside In the street the
home folks pass and repass.
Here comes the pie.
1t seems to be the real thing
BY George, 1t is!
1t has the old tang. The milk is cold,
as it ought to be.
AS our correspondent says, pumpkin
pie is something no one can fake.
1t is either right, or 1t is wrong.
1t is either a pumpkin pie, or 1t is
some other sort of pie. Now no one
would say word against a sweet
potato or squash pie. They are legiti-
mate pies, and have their places.
They are not, however, pumpkin pies,
even when they masquerade as such.
We hope that no one will ever be
fooled by them. Yet at the same time
we are fully aware that many adults
have never tasted the real article.
They have been fooled all their lives
by too much spice.
Maybe the war, which has cut of our
spices, will bring back the real taste
Of genuine pumpkin to the American
people. 1t, too, is a part Of the soul OF
America.

BETHESDA, Md.

Dear Sir:
Il come from the Middle West, where
we have real pumpkin pie. and what
do they call this article they serve
around here? 1t doesn't taste like
pumpkin pie to me, and it doesn't even
look like pumpkin.
1.-The real thing has golden brown
color, whereas this pie eaten around
here is rather on the green side, or an
unwholesome looking yellow. When it
comes to taste. this Eastern pumpkin
pie is even farther off the normal.
1T must be spice pie, or sweet
potato pie, but swear by my grand
mother that it isn't pumpkin, and has
no pumpkin in it. I have eaten too
many pumpkin pies to be fooled by
sweet potato masquerading as pumpkin
with the aid of spice.
ITO me this is sort Of dietetic
sacrilege. I don't suppose that the
Middle West has any patent on this
sort Of pie. but do know, and millions
of Midwesterners here will bear me out,
that we have the real, genuine article,
and that it neither looks nor tastes the
same as these off-color, too-spicy pies
served up around here.
Il don't believe that you Fasteners
know what pumpkin tastes like, If you
are willing to eat this flabby pie. The
real pumpkin taste is truly delicious. It
has flavor all its own, which ought
not to be spoiled and adulterated by
spices and the like.
Sincerely yours, P. j. M"
when the frost is on the pumpkin!"
Our correspondent mist have gone out
into the field, and borne home one Of
the great pumpkins of his choicest mem
ory.
There are pumpkins and pumpkins, Of
course, and not all of them taAe and
look the same. Connoisseurs will assure
you that 1t takes almost as much skill
to know the good ones as it requires for
man to be Government tea faster.
In the old days, and probably still, 1t
was possible to go into any restaurant in
any Midwest small town, and get the real
article
We imagine that even out there one
is likely to run into the ke-believe
pies.
Milk, eggs, sugar, little SPICE and
pumpkin-and there you have the genu-
Inc recipe, and nothing else is necessary.
The real thing has no molasses. A
molasses pie has neither the bloom"
nor the taste of the pie made without It,
+ Il
A big piece of real pumpkin pie, and a
glass of cold milk, and you have a meal.
The milk must be cold.
The pie may be warm, but If it isn't, 1t
should be cold, too. 9

Only 5000 Persons

Discussing the Presidents $4,000
salary limitation plan in the New
York Herald Tribune Forum last
night, James F. Byrnes, director of
economic sterilization, expressed
some surprise that the measure had
aroused so much opposition.
1.-THE salary limitation Ito a net of
s25,000) in 1872" he said would
affect only 5000 persons. From the
fury Of the protests one would think
1t affected 5000, 900 persons" This is
a point Of view which overlooks the
important fact that it makes little or
no difference whether the plan af-
fects 800 or 5000 or 100000 persons.
II it is bad in principle, it remains
bad, regardless of the number of
persons affected.
And 1t has been criticized fire.
quently for a number of reascas.
First, because 1t penalties the man
who earns his income as against
those whose incomes are not earned.
Second, because 1t fails to make an
adequate distinction between those
whose fixed expenses may be high
and those whose fixed expenses are
low. Third, because it makes no
allowance for State income taxes,
although some States have income
taxes while others do not. And,
fourth, because 1t appears to have
been pushed through as q wartime
social reform despite the fact that
Congress repeatedly refused to adopt
the plan when 1t was advanced by
the administration as q part of the
tax BILL
Mr.. Byrnes says that he would
