100000 Traffic
Death Suit Settled

Drivers license of Henry L. Girls
more, Jenera, was suspended for two
years following hearing on a charge
of second degree manslaughter, this
week in Hancock county common
pleas court.
Revelation of Grismore's driving
privileges by Judge Chester Pendle-
ton followed the settlement of a
100000 civil action suit which re-
suited from the highway deaths of
Robert E. Ginger, %, Williams
town, and his son, John, 2.
In dismissing the claim for $780,
900, settlement was made without
record at the cost of the defendant,
Grismore. The civil action had been
brought by Ralph M. Ginger, as adj
ministrator.
The fatality occurred last July 20,
south of Rawson, at the intersection
of two county roads. The father
was killed instantly and the child
died early the following morning.
Grismore was indicted on charge
of second degree manslaughter by
the September grand jury. He
pleaded guilty to the charge but
sentence was deferred pending dis
position of the civil case.
Imposition of sentence was sus-
pended by Judge Pendleton and the
defendant was released to 4. B.
Seiple, the courts probation officer
for two years. Driving rights of
Grismore were suspended for the
same period.

the pound of beans with the four
ounces of meat and you get a
total fuel value of $50. If you
eat one cup of those beans cook
ed with mea, you will take in 46-
5 fuel units in one serving of
food.
Four hundred sixty five units
add up to what you would get
from eating a piece of pie. You
know you can't eat pie andreduce!
Beans with meat have the same
fuel value and will make you fat
in the same way.
But suppose you had eaten a
cup of steamed green beans sea-
son with l tablespoon of butter,
the fuel value would have been
156. Quite a difference between
that and 465. If you are in dead
earnest about taking off pounds,
the smart thing is to eat the cup
of steamed green beans without
seasoning at a fuel value of Sc.
If on a strict diet of is watch
ing food intake very carefully, the
wise thing is to avoid those vege-
tables that taste horrible to YOU
if not cooked with meat. Use
spinach, instead of mustard, col
lards, or turnip greens. Use brus-
sells sprouts instead of cabbage.
Use broccoli instead of strinp
beans.
You r no doubt we'll acquaint-
ed with spinach, but shame on
you if you don't know broccoli and
brussels sprouts. They are tender
after a very few moments OF
cooking, and need only a small
amount of butter to be we'll sea-
soned. Look for broccoli and brus-
sells sprouts at a grocery where
frozen foods are available. They
are well worth knowing.

Rounding Up The News
By Jimmie N. Jones

The recent appointment of Ed
ward Parsons, as court bailiff in
the court of Chief Justice Paul
Sherer has stirred up a hornets
nest inthe local political bowl, &C
cording to the Republican Com
mitteemen who are asking Judge
Sherer just where does he stand
in the party ranks the new
bailiff who is a cousin to Elwood
Parsons, now a scout for the
Brooklyn Dodgers and according
tothe investigation of the G. O. P.
"Snoopers", is a registered Demo-
crat as was Elwood and according
to the report of the committee,
neither have voted in a general
election steadily. Further declared
a spokesman for the committee,
"Judge Sherer was elected on the
republican ticket, and since we
do not have many jobs on the
patronage list" of the Republi-
cans, we can't see our members
being sighted when a job does
appear. Following the resignation
Of Elwood, several Republicans
were in line for the job and made
applications, but were turned
down.
Judge Sherer commenting of the
complaint, said, "No one has said
anything to me about the political
angle, and l don't know whether
either of the Parsons are Demo-
Gratis or Republicans, my only in
terest in the matter was to get
some one on the job that could do
it" and so far both men have did
a good job.
According to the COMMITTEE on
Jobs" Elwood, voted as a Demo-
crat inthe primaries of 1888 and
1850, but according to the record
has failed to vote in nine general
elections. Edward Parsons, the
new bailiff, registered in 1914
has voted in only two general ell
ections that year and 1913. How
ever, according to the committee,
had never declared him self in a
primary. Edward Parson had only
one comment for the Ohio Daily
Express Monday morning and that
was: "They are all .wet". "They
has as much chance to get the
job as I did,. and the only rea-
son for the "Beef is that I got
here first.

No Vegetables
Cooked With
Meat For
Reducers
BY Eliza Arnold For AMP

By Eliza Arnold For AMP
One of my readers has posed
this $64 question "are vegetables
cooked with meat fattening?" Yes,
mama, you bet your life they
are. The old southern custom of
boiling vegetables with meat is in
the same class with many old
southern customs = out NODDED,
behind the times, and sadly in
need of reform.
First, let is be said for e
ducers and non-reducers alike
that long cooking periods for
vegetables take away all their
health giving properties. Cooking
vegetables in a large amount of
water is another practice Destroy
ing nutritive value. Vegetables
should always be cooked in the
shortest possible length of time in
the smallest possible amount of
water.
Let's take green beans for ex-
ample to see how the addition of
meat to vegetables adds up to fat
making fare. One pound of green
beans has a fuel value of 80. A
four ounce piece of salt pork has
a fuel value of $50. Now cook

May Suspend Work On AIaskaRaiIrOad
 Due To Accidents

JUNEAU, (P) - Interior Secre- tary Chapman has been asked to suspend labor contracts on the Alaska Railroad because of three recent accidents.
 Labor Commissioner Henry A. Benson telegraphed the complaint Saturday. He said the railroad it. self is the safest in the world" but that contractors must be stop ped until such time as adequate safety measures are adopted"
 "Intolerable condi { ions and needless slaughter of Workmen is a result of violations of the Alas ka safety code and are contrary to interior department policy" he wired. "The railroad has compe- tent safety engineers to device remedy, and this office at all times is cooperative in an cecil dent prevention program to per init completion of the project"
 Three men were injured, one seriously, last Monday night when seven sticks of dynamite blasted a hugh rock about the time a rail road speeder arrived with a crew of workers. Three men were killed in one of the other two repair priOce accidents since March.

Army Asks APpro- priatiOn Extension

((4) Special Washington Service)
 WASHINGTON, (P)-The army has asked the House appropria- tions committee to extend for one year the availability of $3,750,000 provided for use in Alaska during the year ending June 30.
 The money is part of $32,000,- 900 appropriated a year ago for construction work in Alaska, Oki- nawa and Guam.
 Testimony of army officers be- fore a closed subcommittee ses- sion considering a deficiency ap- propriation bill was made public last week.
 Unless Congress extends the $3,750,000 appropriation for ane year the money will return to the treasury when the fiscal year ex- pires June 30.
 The army spokesman testified the money is needed for construc- ton in Alaska which cannot be completed this fiscal year. They said $3,OOO,OOO of the amount would be used for completion of the power and heating plant at Ladd Air Force Base, $225,000 for completion of outside utilities at that base and $525,OOO for comple- ton of utility systems at several air fields and army posts.
