Washington, D. C An assurance of
increased business prosperity was
voiced by President Colidge in an
address Monday night to the National
Cotton Manufacturers' association.
In the present and prospective in
dustrial situation Mr. Coolidge saw
justification of the tariff and ho again
pledged an administration of justice
by the government in Its relations
with business. The policy of conserv
ing to the American producer "the
right of first opportunity in the home
market," he said, has resulted in a
"very fair approximation of demo
cracy in industry."
He also promised full assistance
by the national government in fight
ing the boll weevil and indorsed the
suggestion for a treaty of co-operation
among the cotton producing
states.
The president reviewed at length
tho problems of the cotton manu
facturing industry, noting even the
return of short skirts and the conse
quent reduction in consumption of
cloth. He added that he saw little
prospect of stabilizing women's styles
and remarked that their constant
(hanging might make difficulty for
manufacturers, but "po doubt would
relieve monotony and add to the spice
of life."
In discussing tho government's re
lations with business, the president
declared enforcement of the law was
essential, but that it was necessary
also for industry to exercise the same
vigilance. Ho lauded industry for its
recognition of its responsibilties to
ward Its employes.
The agencies of the government
were placed at the disposal of in
dustry by Mr. Coolidge, who men
tioned specifically that the federal
trade board "has been devised for the
purpose of safeguarding your rights,
of protecting you from unfair trade
practices and admonishing and cor
recting you if you are wrong."
Justifying the tariff, the president
declared "the towering stature of our
industrial structure as we see it today
is the best, is indeed the complete
vindication of this policy."
"There has been at some times and
In sonio quarters a disposition to
criticise the American policy ot con
serving first opportunity in our home
market for our own producers," he
said. "We can hardly expect that
such a program would be popular with
those who find themselves placed at
a disadvantage in the greatest market
of the world, which Is the American
market. Hut those who charge us
with selfishness in thus giving first
thought to home interests would do
well to consider whether their own
policies in this regard are more liberal
than ours.

Act as Pilots.
MACMILLAN IS CHIEF
Coolidge and kWilbur Indorse Explor
er's Project. U. S. Planes
FTo Be Used.
Washington, D. C. The vast un
known regions of the Arctic will be
explored this summer with naval air
craft by navy pilots, but not as a
government project.
The attempt of observing the un
charted area of more than 1,000,000
square miles lying between Alaska
and the North Pole, where a continent
may exist, will be made in connec
tion with an expedition headed by
Donald M. MacMillan, the explorer,
who will return for the ninth time to
his favorite haunts of ice and snow
on a ship leaving Wiscasset, Me.,
about June 15.
The plan has been approved by Sec
rotary Wilbur and indorsed by Presi
dent Coolidge. The expedition will
also have tho backing of the National
Geographic society.
Tho naval officers who will accom
pany Mr. MacMillan will have extend
ed leave and the entire party will have
a private status.
A polar expedition planned for the
dirigible Shenandoah last year but
abandoned provided the Shenandoah
was to leave from Alaska and proceed
over the same unknown region and
possibly to the pole. However, Presi
dent Coolidge took tho position that in
view of the oxpense involved he would
not authorize it without approval of
congress, and that body failed to take
any action.
For the MacMillan expedition two
planes of the amphibian type will
be supplied and the personnel will
be started from volunteers In - th:
navy aviation service. At least three
officers and two or threo mechanics
will be accepted. Lieutenant-Commander
H. 15. Byrd, now with the navy
bureau of aeronautics hero, will be In
charge .
Already 21 naval officers, six ma
rine corps officers, 11 navy enlisted
men and two marine corps enlisted
men have volunteered their services.
The planes, which the navy prob
ably will ask the army air service
to provide because naval machines
of the type now under construction
will not be completed in time, will
be of the Loenlng type, and will have
a cruising radius of more than 1000
miles with a speed of more than 120
miles an hour.
The expedition will pass along the
Labrador coast and Greenland through
Davis strait in an effort to establish
a flying base nt the northern point
of Axel Heiburg Land, where the
planes can take off in their attempt to
explore the vast region which has
baffled the efforts ot Peary, Mac
Millan and others, and determine
whether a continent or land in any
form exists there.
If laud is found, it Is believed it
can he ultimately utilized for aircraft
bases in flight routes from Europe
to Asia.

of delegutes representing the United

Sheffield, the American ambassador,

pressed willingness to name com
missioners to discuss the new prob
lems growing out of the recently
negotiated narcotics treaty, but he was
not prepared to say whether the immi

restriction of Mexican emigration to
the I'nited Statee.

the Mexican representatives have not
been named.

MA IN WINTER tfpiltBook
By DOUGLAS MALLOCH j
T GUESS I love the things of old
As well ns Father does.
But I ain't crazy for the cold
Like he Is dear me suz !
Of course In winter days, ray dears,
A lot of fun we had
But when you git along In years
A coal-stove ain't so bad.
I recollect occasions when
We traveled in a Sleigh
And I was nearly frozen then,
I recollect today.
Of course It's very nice to come
Where woods are white and green,
But winter's Just as purtj' from
Inside a limousine.
Perhaps to drive for twenty mile
Half froze was lots of fun,
But Father ruther makes me smile
Why, now he hates to run
Around the corner to a show ! . . .
But, drive or dance or what,
A movie for amusement, though
Is handler a lot.
And when he talks about the way
Those smartles used to wash
Our faces In the snow well, say,
I want to fight, by gosh !
However funny It may seem
To Father now, perhaps
I recalled we had no cream
Them days to cure the chaps.
They say that It Is "distance lends
Enchantment to the view" ;
The flight of time as well, my friends,
Makes things look good to you4
So Father of the days of old
To talk will never tire,
When safe and snug from wind and
cold
Beside a dandy fire.

ECONOMICAL DISHES
Your Last
Name
IS IT GORMAN?
T'ORMAN seems to have first been
used as a surname in Ireland, but
the first name from which It was de
rived was Anglo-Saxon and was used
throughout the British Isles In early
days. This was the name Gormund.
Mund In these old first names had
the significance of protection and the
first syllable "gor" may have come
from a word meaning war. The name
Gormund then would mean wur-pro-tectlon.
Eventually the first name
came to be Gorman and this was
adopted in Ireland ns a last name,
with O'Gormnn, which meant simply
son of Gormund.
The Gorninns and O'Goruians In this
country all seem to have come from
Ireland. Both families have con
tributed members to congress. There
Is Senator James K. o'Gorman and
there was a Senator Arthur Pue Gor
man of Maryland and a Representa
tive James Gorman "from Indiana.
Senator Arthur Pue Gorman was
born In Maryland in lS.'t!. The son
of Peter and grandson of John Gor
man, who came to this country from
Ireland about 1400, settling in Harris
burg, Pa. From that state they went
to Maryland and there the family
settled.
James Sedgwick, n grandson of Ed
ward Gorman of county Down. Ire
land, was representative from Indiana.
Mutr There are two suggested
sources for this name. It Is certainly
sometimes derived from the word
mulr, which Is a north of England and
Scotch form for moor. The other sug
gestion is that it came from the me
dieval muur, the man who kept the
raewi the place where the hawks
were kept while moulting. There whs
uch a person attached to every feu
dal cattle while hawking was In
fashion and It would he but natural
If some of these men derived their
surname from their occupation.

A GOOD soup is often all the dish
one needs for a substantial meal.
Serve witli bread to supply the car
bohydrates and butter the bread If the
soup Is not too rich.
Bean Soup.
Take one pound of dried beans,
soak over night and drain off the
water in the morning, after bringing
to the boiling point ; repeat the drain
ing twice, then cook at a simmering
point for Ave hours, or longer, until
the beans are soft enough to put
through a colander. After the drain
ing add one-half pound of salt pork
nnd let It cook with the beans five
hours. The pork should be so well
cooked that it will pass through the
colander, if so desired.
Fried Tripe.
For those who enjoy tripe, this
recipe will be liked :
Use honeycomb tripe, wash well
and put Into a large kettle of cold
water, add a teaflpoonful of salt and
a pinch of soda, bring quickly to the
boiling point, then put back on the
stove and simmer slowly for four;
hours. At this time remove the tripe,
drain it, nnd after dipping In a fritter
batter, fry until brown in butter.
Colonial Pudding.
Measure one cupful of crackers, af
ter putting them through the meat
grinder, and pour over them one pint
of hot milk. Add one-fourth cupful
of cream, one-half cupful of sugnr and
corn sirup, and a scant cupful of
raisins, the seeded kind. When partly
cooled add four beaten eggs, salt, spice
to taste, and pour Into a buttered
baking dish. Bake one hour, stirring
often to prevent the raisins sinking
to the bottom. Let n delicate crust
form at the last and serve with sugar
and cream.
Salt codfish, soaked nnd shredded,
added nt the Inst, with n quart of
milk, omitting the tomatoes, the pars
ley and lemon, makes a most tasty
chowder. Add half n dozen milk
crackers soaked in hot milk to the
stew, Just before serving.
