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

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

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.

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.

Kidney Beans With Tomatoes
Soak one and a half cups of white
kidney beans over night Drain
them and boil in water containing
a quarter teaspoon of soda. Fry a
tablespoon of minced onion in a
little dripping. Add two cups 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

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

SCHWARZ CAR OVERTURNS.
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.

With forty dollars out of every hundred being spent for food in this coun
try, the up-to-date housewife has learned that a saving on foods lowers her
cost of living. Careful food buyers are watching the MacMarr ads these
days because they find they get more for their food dollar in our stores.
Besides, the savings will buy those other things you will so enjoy.
