Establishment of a bureau of air navigation in the de partment of commerce to foster com mercial aviation was proposed to Pres ident Coolidgo Monday by Senator Bingham, republican, of Connecticut.

HOT WEATHER DISHES ON a warm day when hot dishes do not aieal to the palate, It Is re freshing to serve some of the cooling Jellied dishes. Chicken Is the favorite summer meat nnd may be prepared in many different ways to vary the sameness. Chicken in Aspic. Wash and clean a four-pound chick en and put in a kettle with two quarts of water (boiling), one sliced onion, one-half cupful of diced celery, or one eighth teaspoonful of celery seed, a sprig or two of parsley, a bit of buy leaf, one small carrot diced, two tea spoonfuls of salt, and one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper. Cook slowly until very tender. Set away to cool ; remove the chicken and skim off all the fat frbm the top of the liquor. Heat the liquor, adding two egg whites and shells to clarify, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter tea spoonful of paprika, one-eighth tea spoonful of nutmeg and the juice of half a lemon. Add three tublespoon fuls of granulated gelatin which has bren soaked In three-quarters of a cupful of cold water; stir until the gelatin Is dissolved, then strain through a double cheesecloth. Mold as for any meat loaf, adding aspara gus tips, cooked egg, canned pimen tos or stuffed olives for color.

XXTHKH Wentworth Dillon, fourtl earl of Roscommon, uttered thesi words, he well knew and appreciate the limited ability of a multitude oi mob to make an accurate Judgment He lived at the time Charles 11 was ll power in Englund, and he saw tin multitude llrst acclaim royalty, in thi person of Charles' father, then de pounce It and execute their king, t welcome the regime of Oliver Crom Well. And, finally, he saw the multl tude turn again to royalty and outdt Itself In an attempt to show their af fectlon for the new monarch, Charlei H. Roscommon, as he Is best known was one of the fuvorltes at the court of diaries II, where Ills' learning au( brilliant conversational powers wo: him many staunch friends among tin trebles. If Is a rather strange thinj that this man who was such a l'rlent of the king should at the sutne tinu have been described ns "the only mora; writer" during the reign of Charles. The reign of this monarch was noted for the dissoluteness and licentious ness of those In control, nnd how 11 happened that a mam of Roscommon'! character, writing as he did, did not offend some of the dissolute courtiers If not the king himself, Is not known The fact remains, however, that hi continued la the good graces of th king and his court until death. Roscommon Is known as a mlnot poet. He has left little to accord hint a high place among the writers of his land, and yet many of his sayings and bits of philosophy, such as that quoted above, have been handed down througfc the years. He was born In 1033 and died In 1085. Little of Hie work of Rosfommon bus survived. His two best-known ef forts, probably, are an "Essay on tin Translation of Verse" nnd a "Trans latlon of Horace's Art of Poetry." Wayne D. McMurray. ( by Oeorge Matthew Adams) death.

'"pin; American MUtons have the sat- Isfactlon of believing that they are collateral descendants of John Milton, the Immortal author of "Paradise Lost."

LAFAYETTE TAFAY'ETTE'S birthday should, and will rank In the hearts of Ameri cans along with the birthdays of Wash Ington and Lincoln. For we have owed a debt to Lafayette and France foi our freedom, which we have never for gotten and which we are Just beginning to repay. Pershing, at the tomb ol this great Frenchman, said simply, "Lafayette, we are here" and expressed the feeling of all America. Marie Joseph Paul Yves Koch Gil bert Du Metier, Marquis de Lafayette, was born In Auvergne, France, Septem ber 0, 1757. At thirteen he was left an orphan with a princely fortune ; at six teen he married a young girl from one of the country's most noted families; at nineteen, he wanted to help America tight for freedom. He came to America first with a few comrades, enlisted us a volunteer with out pay, but was made a major general. He proved his value as a commando! at once. He was obliged to return to France for six mouths, really as a champion of America at the court of Louis XVI. He returned, used Ids own money to provide for his men. and took a distinguished part all through out Revolution. His history, after that, is almost the history of France. He worked for the liberty of his own country, but tried to stop the frenzy of the revolting eople who threw French polities into such a chaotic state towards the end of the century. He even suffered five years' Imprisonment. In spite of Amerlca'i pleas for him. After alternate periods of political activity and of quiet, he died In Paris, in 1S34. - fey 0lrt Muh.w iitol
