HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 24, 1930. PAGE THREE Too Much Pity A man who has won high distinc tion in his chosen field of labor came into my office not long ago. He walks with a limp, for one of his legs is shorter than the other. He told me that for years he went around on crutches. "I finally threw them away," he said, "and I'll tell you why. I got infernally tired of having people stop to ask me what had happened. I didn't want sympathy. It did me no good, and slowed up my opera tions. I'm lame. I'll never be any better. But I can stand the lame ness better than I can stand being pitied." There is a great waste of pity In the world. ' I know, for example, a couple who seem to be curiously mated. The woman is ten years older than the man. She is argumentative. She is not a very good housekeeper. At least a hundred times I have heard somebody say: "I'm so sorry for Joe. He might have picked out a lovely young girl, and see what he went and did." Now, the simple fact is that the man and woman are exceedingly happy. I personally can't see what he finds attractive in her, nor why she should have chosen him. But CANADA Canada is becoming Increasingly popular as a place for Americans to go on their vacation trips. That is not all on account of the ease with which one may get a drink across the border, compared with this side. Those interested In the quaint and historical find much to fascinate them in the old French settlements in Quebec and the historical coast of Nova Scotia. Fishermen, moun taineers and motorists, as well as ordinary vacationists, from the Uni ted States spent $289,000,000 in Can ada last year, the Department of Commerce estimates, while Canad ian tourists spent about $91,000,000 on this side of the border. Consid ering that Canada has less than 10 per cent as many people as we have, that is a pretty good showing for our northern neighbors. FLYING The flying season is just now at its height Roger Q. Williams flew the 1,560 miles from New York to Bermuda and back without a stop, between daylight and dark, or In 17 hours. John and Kenneth Hunter, flying over Chicago, beat the endur ance record for continuous flight, 420 hours, on the same day. Still comparatively few in Amer ica have ever been up In an airplane and fewer still, proportionately, use planes for transportation. Just how rapidly we are becoming nationally "air minded" nobody can tell exact ly, but not as rapidly as the aviation folk hoped when Lindbergh made his historic flight It takes a lot of time to change the habits and point of view of the human race. FORD I visited Henry Ford's great plant at Dearborn the other day. As I came out of one of the buildings I saw a rope stretched across the brick pathway. "We'll have to walk on the grass," said my guide. "There's a kildeer's nest down that path. Mr. Ford saw it the other day and had us block off the path. The.kildeer, you know will leave Its nest and let its young ones die if it is disturbed." I didn't know that fact of natural history, not having been brought up in the prairie country where the ktldeer flourishes, but as I looked down the path and saw the mother bird hovering over the nest In a low bush I felt that I had got a Save 30 Miles When Traveling to Yakima Valley CROSS ON THE Alderdale Ferry Landing located four miles east of Heppner Junction. Recent road Improvements make this the Ideal Route ( FRANK PARKER 1 STOCKBR1P6E 1 it is none of my business, and I certainly am not going to waste sympathy on two folks who seem to like each other and to be perfectly satisfied. I live part of every year in the middle of Manhattan Island, and the rest of the time in a New Eng land village. My Manhattan friends say: "What a terrible bore it must be to live In a little town. No the atres, no art galleries, no excite ment How I pity country people." My village friends Bay: "I like to go to New York for a visit, but what a frightful place to live! Noise, and crime, and rush and expense! The poor folks who are crowded together in those big apartments just don't know what real living is. How I pity them." What an absurd situation. What an emotional waste! This seems to me to be a pretty good Idea don't weaken your emo toinal nature by pouring out pity unless you intend to do something about it Pity the sick and relieve them. Pity the poor, and divide with them. Sympathize with, the struggles of youth, and lend a helping hand. But don't get Into the foolish hab it of being sorry for anybody who happens to be different from your self. The chances are that he is spending an equal amount of time being sorry for you. glimpse of another phase of Henry Ford's character. METALS The most precious of all metals is neither gold nor platinum, but the rare substance known as Iridium, which is used chiefly to make points of fountain pens and to alloy with platinum to give It the necessary hardness. Last year iridium prices ranged in the United States from $180 to $450 an ounce with $229 as the average price. Platinum dropped from $110 an ounce to $56, the drop being due to the large importations from Col ombia, whence we got over 45,000 cunces. Before the war Russia was the principal source of platinum, but only 6 ounces came from there last year. The United States pro duced only 516 ounces of this metal. Palladium, worth about $40 an ounce, osmium about the same val ue as platinum, and ruthenium, only a little less valuable, are other rare metals used by jewelers.

PancOfinc IProwen & HacrjCDil Go, "Always at Your Service" stallation in Statuary Hall in the national capitol in Washington, it would seem that the last vestige of animosity born of the war between the states must have passed away. Sixty-nine years ago Davis be came the titular head of the Confed erate States of America, He had se rved as Secretary of War in Pres ident Buchanan's cabinet, and on one of the abutments of Cabin John bridge in Washington, carrying the Washington aqueduct, a blank space appears where his name was chis elled out when the South seceded! That was a war gesture, as import ant then and as silly in perspective, as our ban upon teaching German in the public schools, when we were at war a dozen years ago. All the old bitterness may never die. There is still a considerable body of Jacobites in Canada who hold that the present King of Eng land has no right to his throne and that an obscure European noble man of the Stuart line is the right ful heir of James II. But nobody takes them seriously, any more than anyone now takes seriously those who try to keep our old sectional enmity alive.

Fry a tablespoon of minced onion in a little dripping. Add two cups of stewed tomatoes, season with a lit tle salt and two level teaspoons of sugar. Barely cover with water and cook in a tireless cooker or double boiler until tender. Beef and Tomato Pie Put meat left over from yester day's bouillon through the meat chopper. For four cups of the beef you will need a pint of canned to matoes. Grease a baking dish with bacon fat or good drippings and put in a layer of the tomato with a lit tle onion juice, then a few bread crumbs and then a layer of meat Continue in this way until near the top and then cover over with fresh mashed potatoes. Brush the pota toes with milk and cook for thirty minutes. Tomato Toast Two tomatoes, two eggs, one ta blespoon butter, one-quart cup of minced ham, a slice of onion, one quarter teaspoon salt, one-eighth teaspoon pepper, six rounds of but tered toast Skin the tomatoes and chop; mince the onion and mix with the meat and tomatoes.

Your Appetizer If you are having chicken for dinner, some sort of tomato appetiz er is a good choice. A fruit appetizer precedes lamb or beef very well. A fruit appetizer is also good before veal or pork. Before fish some sort of vegetable appetizer may be served; or an ap petizer containing bacon. Sometimes have the appetizer placed at each plate when dinner Is announced. In this case, there is no choice. Sometimes have several sorts of appetizers passed in an T "My hips and knees hurt so from neuritis pains that for days at a time I couldn't bear my weight on them. A disordered liver and con' U. S.

While returning Monday from Wapato, Wash., where they went on Sunday to take Mrs. Schwraz and son Billy for a visit with relatives, Henry Schwarz and Alex Cornett were injured and the Schwarz car in which they were riding was dam aged when It overturned near Cecil. Mr. Cornett, who was driving, be came confused on nearing a curve when he thought he was stepping on the brake but stepped on the clutch instead. The car failed to check in speed and he steered it up the bank, the incline of which was sufficiently steep to cause the car to turn over. Mr. Cornett sustained a deep laceration of the scalp while Mr. Schwarz was badly bruised about the shoulders. Both men are recovering nicely from their injur ies and feel fortunate that the re sults were not more serious. W. W. HARRAH PASSES. W. W.
