HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, DEC. 18, 1930. PAGE THREE . WHY PRIDE? As I stepped out of the Grand Central Station the other day I saw entering It a man whose face seem ed familiar, and after a moment's thought I placed him. He is one of the most distinguished members of the legal profession in America. He was a member of the Cabinet of a former President, and was himself mentioned for the Presidency. On a sudden impulse I turned and followed him The station was full of commut ers hurrying to their trains. They looked at him, and through and around him, but apparently nobody recognized him. He jostled his way across the great floor, down a pair of steps to the platform of the sub way. And there the crowd crushed him into the minimum number of cubic Inches and flung him Into an express train. My last view of him was as he stood with his face pressed against the glass of the door, a completely squeezed and harassed looking man, in no way different from the swel tering others in the car. Not one of those others knew that he had been a Cabinet Minister, helping to shape the destinies of a nation during the greatest war. Nor would they have cared, probably, if they had known. It has been remarked frequently that the really big man is almost always modest. The reasons for this are two-fold. In the first place he knows how much of his success has been due to causes beyond his control his birth, his education, his business opportunities. And he knows, too, what a thin and evan escent thing is fame. He has walked through places like Central Park and looked at the statues. These are great men who lived only yesterday fifty or a hun dred or a hundred and fifty years ago. Yet how few of them one can recognize without looking at the names. And if their fame is already so faded, what will it be In a thous and years, or two thousand, or ten? Abraham Lincoln's favorite song was a mournful hymn entitled, "Why Should the Spirit of Mortal Be Proud?" He knew that the river of life races on, and that even the most important of us is soon wash ed out into the big sea of oblivion. He knew it because he was really big. It is only the littler men who act as if they were permanent rocks In the river, towering high above the level, and destined never to be moved. SCIENCE Einstein, the German mathema tician, acclaimed the greatest sci entific mind since Newton, is com ing to America to do research work at the California Institute of Tech nology. There are no national boundaries to knowledge. Science is interna tional. The discoveries of every man of science are at the disposal of the whole world. Germany led the world in scien tific research for nearly a century. Now the leadership has come to us. In another hundred years it may be the Japanese or Australians who are astonishing the world with their discoveries. It makes no difference. Truth is truth, wherever found. SOUSA An old man stood on the White House steps the other day and wav ed his baton while the President of the United States stood by his side and drank in the music which John Philip Sousa drew from the band which he had made famous years ago. It used to be said of America that we were not a musical nation. No body can say that today. Sousa came along at a time when musical taste was at its lowest ebb In the United States and wrote the stirring marches that will never die, with which his name and the fame of the Marine Band will forever be as sociated. The nation hailed him as its greatest composer. That was never true, but he was the greatest popularlzer of music, back in the 1880's and 1890's, and he was, with out doubt, the greatest band leader the world had ever seen up to then.

It'll same right of self-government, the same status as members of the Brit ish Commonwealth of Nations, as Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the rest of the former colonies now enjoy. Representatives of India and of the Empire are sitting in on "round table" conferences in London, try ing to decide India's fate. The re ports of this gathering read as if the pages of history had been turn ed back a hundred and fifty-five years, to the time when delegates from this side of the Atlantic in formed the ministers of King George III of the temper, of the American colonists. The ministers of Georve V are more likely to lis ten than did those of his great-great-great-grandfather. INHERITANCE The estate of Thomas Fortune Ryan will pay $17,379,291 to the State of New York and $4,382,072 to the Federal Government There will still be left somewhat over a hundred million dollars, which Is enough for several heirs to struggle along on. No tax can be fairer than the tax on large inherited estates. All states exempt small estates from this tax. When a man dies his property has no owner. In the absence of heirs It all belongs to the state. The right to pass it on by will is a privilege granted by the state, and not an in herent right. Most states prescribe what a man may do by will. The heirs are entitled, by custom, to reasonable participation, but have no right to complain if the state steps in and takes a large share out first for the benefit of all the people. For no great fortune Is accumulat ed except by the participation, di rectly or indirectly, of all the peo ple. SHIPS The keel was laid the other day for the largest passenger ship ever constructed in the United States. It will be 705 feet long and will car ry 1,300 passengers across the At lantic In less than six days. It is to be followed by another ship of the same size. These new ships will not be the largest passenger craft carrying the American flag. Nor will our new first-class liners compare with the new ships which Germany, France and Great Britain have just built or are building. It Is a shortsighted policy which lets our Government be contented to build less magnificently than do our rivals on the sea. For these new craft, like those of other nations, are built with Government subsi dies. Perhaps the Shipping Board and the officials at Washington thought they would not have pub lic support if they spent too much money on the new ships. In that, as in almost everything else the Shipping Board has done, they are wrong. The American people will back any really magnificent expen diture with prideful enthusiasm, but it has never been interested in economy or in second-rate achievements. 'fiife Of M (DM bu Vancv Hart APPLE PIE TIME HAS COME AGAIN This is the time for apple pie. And you know we don't malign pie now as we did a few years ago. Well-made pie is quite digestible for the person in good health. Fruit pie, though some critics object to it because of the mixture of fruit and sugar, is decidedly toothsome and if it is not too sweet cannot be considered injurious. And in deed good apple pie made with plenty of apple filling, and with a light crust, is a pretty well-balanced dish, dietetically. You can do most Interesting things to the flavor of apple pie simply by varying the condiments and seasonings you use. Of course, there are those who prefer a defin ite flavor every time perhaps a lit tle cinnamon, perhaps nutmeg and butter, perhaps just sugar. But if your family likes variety try using different seasonings. But ter and lemon juice, with sugar, of course, give good results. Espec ially if the apples are flat which most apples aren't at this season lemon juice is a good thing to add to them. If the apples are very juicy you can add a little corn starch mixed with a little water to them to thicken them. You can make a one-crust apple pie that is delicious. Bake the crust first Then fill In with good apple sauce well seasoned and cover it with a meringue. Brown in the oven. If you wish to, you may use Btewed apples thick ened sufficiently with corn-starch for the filling. Another apple pie is made by making a lower crust, filling It with partly cooked apples, covering it with criss-cross strips of pastry, and baking until the pastry is done. Always bake apple pies slowly, so that the apples will be thoroughly cooked and the under crust brown and well done. Halibut Seuffle This calls for two cups of flaked cooked left-over halibut. Make a sauce of two and a half teaspoons of butter, two tablespoons of flour and two cups of milk, seasoning with salt, pepper, onion juice and a few grains of mace if desired. Add a half cup of bread crumbs and the fish, then the yolks of three eggs beaten to a lemon color. Finally fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the three eggs and pour into a but tered dish and bake in a moderate oven for a half hour.
