This is a movement which should be squelched at the start, for there will be no end to requests for paternal istic help. M any lines of business could find reasons for a government subsidy. The railroads should be required to clean house before receiving any consideration along the line of a subsidy. Railroad wages may not be too high, although they are cer tainly high enough, but there are many ways in which revenues are bled by payments for overtime, out of all reason. T oo many bureaus are maintained with positions at high salaries, and the Association of American Railways alone supports 21 bureaus at great expense. There are too many subsidiaries whose income is not counted as transportation revenue. Each railroad keeps scores of solicitors, whose salaries and office and traveling ex penses run into huge sums of money. The shippers must bear this added expense. The carriers have too many unnecessary expenses and too much overhead to come forward with good grace asking for a government subsidy. — Yakima Morning Herald. IN D U S T R Y M O V E S Industry is moving to the south and west at a rapid pace, according to close observers. Ten years ago textile factories began leaving the east for southern locations. Today the movement is not confined to textile mills; fac tories of many kinds are now joining in the move. Lower wages, reduced living costs, lighter taxation and freedom from labor union troub les are declared to be back of this movement. It is noticeable that in choosing new locations the factories are avoiding large centers of population. Industry decided years ago that concentration in and around the big cities of many manufacturing concerns is detrimental both themselves and the country. This decision, and the results now evident in carrying it out, are going to mean much to towns like Cascade Locks. It is bound to result eventually in a decrease in size and importance of the big cities of the country and the growth of our smaller towns and cities as industrial centers. The southern states, for instance, already have shown plenty of proof of this. The growth in towns hctween 1.000 and 5,000 has been remarkable through the south in the past 10 years. W ill these towns not become the fair-sized cities of the next 10 years? N o. say the wise ones. Industry has learned its lesson. It prefers to do business in many small towns rather than in one large city. Not only is this seemingly the wisest way for industry, but best for the American people. A F IN E I N V E S T M E N T A L W A Y S There s no excuse for anyone with a plot of ground large enough for growing vege tables not having a garden, and no matter what the weather conditions are at this mo ment. it is not too late to start one that will prove a fine investment before the coming .summer is over. Not only is it a good invest ment. but a garden affords a healthy and wholesome exercise, and since many people fail to get a sufficient amount of exercise it may also prove economical from still another standpoint- it may save doctor bills. But it is the satisfaction of having fresh, home grown products for the dinner table, right out of your own garden instead of out of your pocket, that stamps a garden as worth while. W e know it is pretty hard to keep from “ burning out under the hot suns that will come a little later on. and it takes a lot of fighting to lick the weeds. But there is al ways more genuine pleasure in doing some thing hard than something easy— and that is just one more of the many reasons why the man or woman who is not garden-minded is losing out on a fine investment. FRIDAY, APRIL Î9, 1938 K IT E D A N G E R S T o the average boy a kite is nothing more than a few sticks and some paper and twine. It appears on the surface of it to be just about the most innocent toy ever invented. And yet, newspapers in various parts of the country have found it necessary to issue warnings to kite flyers, especially since several fatalities have resulted from it. The kite, so long as it consists of only paper, sticks and string, is not dangerous. It is when a few feet of wire to form the frame, or a light strip of copper to help form the tail are added that the kite becomes dangerous, and the danger is traveling in every electric wire that runs above the head of the boy who is flying the kite. Coming in contact with a "live wire," the kite that contains metal of any sort becomes a conductor of electricity, and if it happens to be a high-tension wire, enough electricity can be carried down through the kite strinq to kill. Children are not expected to know this, and the kite-flying season is at hand: parents should see that they arc cautioned without delay. CELILO O! Celilo, Mineehaha; Close beside your laughing water. Tucked in shacks, instead of tepees, Wafts the Indians’ happy laughter. With hair bobbed, Instead of long braids Shirt and skirt instead of buckskin, High heel shoe, instead of moccasin; Using language, of perfect English, Camped they there to catch the big fish; Bubbles high! bubbles low; Laughing water, O ! Celilo. —Alma Bedsaul- Parkdale, Ore. Recipes . . . ♦ STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE Sift together 1 pint of flour, 1 tea spoon of salt, 4 teaspoons of baking powder (level), chop in 2 tablespoons of butter. Wet with milk for a soft dough (about % cup usually.) Bake 12 minutes. Split and butter and put the following between and on top: 1 cup crushed strawberries, 1 cup sugar, 1 beaten egg white. Beat all together until firm. Then trim the top of cake with whole berries or some cut in halves. ♦ Fish Croquettes— One pint cold boiled fish, free from skin and bone, minced fine, with 1 •pint hot mashed potatoes; 1 table spoon butter; % cup hot milk; 1 egg well beaten; pepper and salt and little chopped parsley. Mix thoroughly and let cool; when cold mix into balls, dip into beaten egg, roll in bread crumbs and fry in hot fat, or just roll them into flour if egg prices are too high. For a sauce, add 2 hard-boiled eggs cut in thin slices to white sauce. Household Hints ♦ To improve the flavor of carrots, turnips, cabbage, onions and peas, add a fourth of a teaspoon of sugar for each three cups of water used in cooking. ♦ Meat rubbed well with vinegar be fore cooking is less likely to be tough. ♦ Fresh rhubarb needs little water when it is cooked as a sauce and none at all when it is used in a pie- ♦ Candlewick spreads s h o u l d be washed in plenty of hot water and soap suds. They should then be rinsed several times in clear, warm water and hung up in the shade to dry. When they are perfectly dry, they should be placed, tufted side down, in a cotton blanket and pres sed gently with a warm iron. ♦ A Kansas hours the women, and was— of all woman's club debated for four most dreaded disease among then reached the conclusion it things— lockjaw! It remains a debatable question whether the automobiles are ruining the younger genera tion or whether the younger generation is ruining the automobiles. When using buttons for trimming it is best to use the shank style of button. Instead of sewing on in the usual way, work tiny buttonholes the size of the shank. Slip the but ton into these holes and fasten on the underside with a safety pin. This saves much time when launder ing and lengthens the life of the button. ♦ Make leftover rice into cakes, fry them in bacon fat and serve with maple syrup. They're delicious. ♦ Man is never satisfied. If he is poor, he stews over his debts and if he gets hold of some money he can't sleep for fear somebody will steal it. People who have a reputation for making money hand over fist usually manage to keep their hands and fists over it, too. Another trouble with the soft answer is that while it may turn away wrath it won’t turn away a hard-luck story. Thinking her nose is shining makes a woman feel as uncomfortable as a four week's growth of beard makes a man. W e are told that there are 293 ways of making change for a dollar. That’s interest ing. but how do you get hold of the dollar? Some few girls have a fine sense of humor, but most all of them have a fine sense of rumor. Too much flour in cakes causes them to hump in the middle or have a tough, cracked crust. ♦ To prevent griddle cakes from sticking, rub the hot griddle fre quently with salt firmly in a piece of cloth. Keep this up all during the baking. ♦ The dwarf dahlias used for bed ding purposes are single but arc very pretty and have a long flowering sea son. The Coltness gem hybrids are the best known, but several other kinds are being listed in this spring's catalogues. These dahlias are grown from seed. Scientists at t h e University of Southern California have discovered that “ the very chemicals in onions and garlic which bring tears to the eyes have germ killing powers which may be useful in fightjng disease.” Investigations are now being made to determine the usefulness of these mildly poisonous chemicals in heal ing diseases caused by germs. Approximately one and one-half billion dollars are spent on highway construction a n d maintenance in this country every year. Only about one per cent as much is spent in organized traffic safety work, ac cording to Secretary of State Earl Snell.
