HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1931. PAGE THREE EVEN THE KING CAN'T GET A DRINK In London we visited a fashion able restaurant called the Embassy Club. It is a place where the hoity toity dance, and my wife and I had the pleasure of feasting our middle class eyes on a large collection of young lords and ladies, with a sprinkling of multi-millionaires and even a couple of dukes. A little after midnight a waiter stepped up to each table, according to the law and custom in England, and reminded the diners politely that the bar was about to close. A few minutes later he came again and asked each diner to finish bis drink because the glasses must be removed. A gay party had arrived only a little while before, headed by a younger son of His Majesty, King George. I watched with Interest to see what would happen when the waiter visited that table. Would a prince of the blood be asked to give up his glass like any common man? Or would a polite evasion occur in the case of one so exalted? My question was quickly answer ed. The waiter did, indeed, go to the Prince's table last But when he arrived, the Prince took one last gulp and handed over the glass with a smile. A few hours previously we had sat in one of the English law courts. A young man had been arrested only two weeks before charged with the henious crime of murdering his mother. In the space of a few dayB he was brought to trial. The Jury was chosen in a couple of hours, the case was heard, including the tes timony of medical experts, the ver dict was found, and the murderer was sentenced. In our country the crime would have been a newspaper sensation for months, while the trial dragged its dreary way through the maze of legal obstruction. We are ahead of the English in many ways. We do business more quickly, with more flexibility, and more steam. But when it comes to respect for the law they have us lashed to the mast. We pass thou sands of laws and disregard them. The English pass fewer, but they certainly respect and enforce them. If you kill your mother over there you're hung, and promptly. And when the bar closes even the king can't get a drink. INSURANCE The General Motors Corporation has extended its system of insuring the lives of all employees to cover its agents and their employees. Coupled with that is a thrift plan to enable employees to share in the company's profits by investing a small percentage of their own wages. This and other large com panies are engaged all the time in efforts to work out equitable meth ods of helping those who work for them to be certain of Independence In old age or because of illness or accident, and to leave their families provided for In case of death. If large fndustries can do this, why not small ones as well? It is on the cards that the time is coming when everybody who works for any body else will be required to leave a certain percentage of his salary or wages In trust, to be matched by an equal amount contributed by the employer, to form the basis of a fund to take care of him after a given number of years of work, or at a given age, or If incapacitated. And coupled with this will be some form of employment insurance, so that nobody can be thrown out of work with nothing to live on. WEALTH The sole heir to $100,000,000 or more died in New York the other day. Miss Ella Wendel, 77, only survivor of six sisters and brothers whose grandfather was a partner of John Jacob Astor, the fur-trader, lived alone in an old house on Fifth Avenue, and died alone except for doctors and nurses. She had not a single relation left In the world. Every dollar of the great fortune which she had to dispose of Is in New York city real estate. The lot on which her home stands is valued at nearly four million dollars. Grandfather Wendel laid down a rule for his family; "Buy land, never mortgage, never sell, never build, never make repairs." Build ings deteriorate, tenants sometimes do not pay their rent, but land val ue always increasse. The purchase of land in any growing community Is the swiftest certain road to wealth. Over any twenty-year per iod the owner of well-lo!ated va cant land in or close to a big city will have made several times more money simply by sitting still and watching the population grow than he could have made by putting the purchase price into a savings bank, into bonds or endowment life insur ance or any of the other perfectly safe forms of investment. DEPTHS Divers can now go to unheard-of depths by the use of mixture of oxy gen and helium to breathe, instead of ordinary air. The greatest dan ger to working under pressure, as in diving suits and in deep cais sons or tunnels, is the escape of ni trogen from'the compressed air into the blood and tissues, forming bub bles which set up a serious illness, often resulting in death, when the workers return to normal pressure. The U. S. Bureau of Mines has been experimenting with the helium-oxygen mixture and finds that it serves as well as normal air for breathing purposes, while the he lium is not absorbed into the body as nitrogen is. This discovery may result in the recovery of treasure from the wrecks of many ships which lie too deep on the ocean bed to be reached by diving methods now in use. CALENDARS It is on the cards that sometime perhaps In five years, perhaps in fifty, we shall have a new calendar. Everybody who has to do with the present method of dividing the year agrees that it is clumsy and un economical. Some are for making a radical change at once to a thirteen-month system, which many business houses now us in comput ing their own budgets and making their own comparative analyses of business conditions. Others believe that would be too much of a change and prefer to take two bites at the cherry. Not until the League of Nations, the Pope, the Angelican church, the leaders of the Jewish religion and the head of the Mohammedan church agree will there be any rad ical change from the present calen dar. EINSTEIN Back in his home in Germany, Einstein, the great scientist, tells what he thinks of the United States. "A land of cooperative effort," he says, "quite different from our In dividualistic Europe. Everybody team-work." That is not the conception many people have of America. We think of Europe as a hotbed of Socialism if not of Communism, and of our own country as a place where ev erybody goes his own way without giving enough attention to his neighbor's problems. Probably both points of view are both right and wrong. Professor Einstein saw, principally, only men of science, working together In laboratories and universities. Their methods may be much more co-operative than those common in busi ness, without signifying any such wide-spread team-work as the good Professor attributes to our whole people. And it may well be that we hear a great deal more about Com munism than the facts warrant, be cause it is more sensational than the fact that most Europeans go strictly about their own business and let other people alone.

"It's an 'ill wind that blows no body good" and so when Humpty Dumpty, in price at least, came tumbling down off his perch, we who love to make good things to eat are reveling in the use of eggs without the slightest worry as to being uneconomical. In order not to tire of eggs when served every day, and yet, even more often, there must be new ideas, new methods. In cooking epgs there are two main principles of cooking to keep in mind: first, high temperatures toughen the coagulated protein, and second, long cooking will also toughen the pro tein. This is the reason that' eggs are never boiled when cooked prop erly, but are put in hot water in the top of a double boiler and allowed to cook at a temperature below fcfc WAS A STRUGGLE "I had been in mighty bad health for eighteen months before I began taking Sargon," stated Chas. W. Morgan, 1746 E. 15th St., Portland, CHAS. W. MORGAN Oreg., assistant froeman for the Or egon Worsted Co. "My blood was thin and at night I'd have awful cramps in my legs. I had no appe tite, my kidneys were over-active, and I was so weak that getting through my day's work was a strug gle. Three bottles of Sargon built up my blood and system, overcame the cramps and regulated my kid neys. I've never felt stronger or better! Sargon Pills didn't gripe or upset me at all and helped a lot by keeping my bowels regulated perfectly." Sold by Patterson & Son, Drug gists, Heppner. " (adv.)
