The Alamance gleaner 4 *9 VOL. LV. GRAHAM, N, C., THURSDAY NOVEMBER 7, 1929. NO. 40. 1 DOINGS OF THE WEEK [I NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS Tremendous Fall in Prices of Stocks Checked by Buy ing by Bankers. i By EDWARD W. PICKARD | TTTEIt collapse of prices regardless of Intrinsic values made the first three days of the week the wildest the stock exchanges of the country ever had experienced. Paper profits of many billions were wiped out and many thousands of amateur specu lators who had been reveling In "easy money" for months were eliminated completely. The professional henrs grimly hammered away and the hys terical public dumped their securities in such a flood that on Tuesday the total of shares sold on the New York Exchange was more than twfenty-six million. By Wednesday prices had reached so low a level that the big bankers, insurance companies and Individual capitalists began buying heavily, and the Immediate result was a recovery and steadying of the market. This buying was given the appearance of benevolence, to a certain extent, but the fact remains that the market did not receive such support until stocks had become a profitable Investment. President Hoover, and after him Julius B. Klein, assistant secretary of commerce, gave out statements Insist ing that the prosperity and the In dustries of the country were unaffected by the stock collapse and still abso lutely sound. Business men generally did not bemoan the great readjust ment In the stock markets. For a long time they have been suffering because so many citizens have been using their money In speculation Instead of In the purchase of commodities. The working staffs of the exchange and brokers' offices were so exhausted that a short session of the exchanges was held Thursday and they were closed up on Friday and Saturday to give the traders and clerks a chance to recuperate. The securities markets abroad adopted the same measure. It was generally felt that the crisis was over and that the confidence of the public was restored, and those who bad any money left began picking out bargains In stocks. WHEAT prices having fallen too low, according to Chairman Legge of the federal farm board, who said this was due to the fact that a large (art of the year's supply was being marketed too rapidly: the board came to the rescue with a statement that SICO.OOO.OOO were Immediately arall able to farmers to ctablllze prices. The bonrd set the minimum prices on which loans will be carried until the end of the marketing season. The money will be lent to whent co-opera tives qualified as borrowers under the Capper-Volstead act. Under the plan announced, the farmer can get more than 00 per cent of the value of his wheat without selling It Much of the money available already has been loaned. The Fnrmers' National Grain cor poration, organized under the auspices of the farm board, came Into legal existence with the filing of Its papers of Incorporation In Wilmington, Del. It started functioning at once, with headquarters In Chicago. The launch ing of this corporation, which Is ex pected to solve the wheat problem of tbe Central states, Is considered the most Important step yet taken by the farm board In carrying out President Hoover's farm relief policies as set forth In the agricultural marketing set The concern Is expected to give tbe farmers control of their market ing and also to stabilize grain prices at a high level. SOME of the old guard Republicans In the senate, led by Reed of Pennsylvania and Edge <f New Jer sey, have given up hope that a tariff bill acceptable to the Republican ma jority and the administration can be passed by tbe special session and want to bring about adjournment by the middle of November. Probably this group would like to t ave the hill en tirely sidetracked In the regular ses sion opening In December. However, President Hoover directly asked the senate to pass the bill "within the next two weeks," and though the lenders didn't think this possible. It seemed likely the special session would continue until the end of the month. JOSEPH R. OKONDY, head of the Pennsylvania manufacturers and veteran of mnny a political anil tariff tight, was before the senate lobby In vestigating committee for three days, and proved to be the most entertain ing witness the senators hnd yet heard. He undertook to justify In every way his efforts to keep the tariff high, was apparently frank ond open in his statements, and quite uncon cerned whether or not the committee classed him as a lobbyist. More than that, he delighted his unofficial hear ers by his spirited attacks on what he classed as the "backward" qtates and their representatives In congress, asserting that they should "talk pretty darn small" on policies affecting the states that "form the tax reservoir of the country"?Pennsylvania, for In stance. Pressed to name the "backward" states, Grundy declared to Senator W. E. Borah that the tatter's presence In the senate la proof enough for Grundy of Idaho's backwardness. Similarly, he bluntly told Senator T. H. Caraway that any state which, like Arkansas, showed such little Interest In a sen atorial election that only 30,000 votes were cast must be backward. Grundy listed as "bnckwnrd" states Arizona, South Dakota, Mississippi, Arkansas, Idaho, Montana and Geor gia, and he didn't think much of Wis consin and North Dakota. The sen ators from all of these states, he thought, shouldn't "put up any roars." "How would you silence Senator Borah and myself?" asked Senator Walsh. "I should thlnrk your Intelligence would suggest silence on such mat ters," retorted Grundy to the delight of the hearing room crowd, which roared with laughter. Senator Bingham of Connecticut, whose employment of C. L. Kyanson to aid him In tariff bill work was severely criticized by the lobby com mittee, started a bitter debate In the senate by declaring the committee was packed against the administration and that Its members were playing poli tics. SENATOR BLEA8E of South Caro lina, aome ministers of Washing ton and various other persons have been loudly blaming President Hoover for the liquor and vice conditions prevalent In the national capital and demanding that he clean up that city. The Washington Times has been publishing articles exposing the liquor traffic there and Its city editor, being railed before the grand Jury, gave a list of sixty speakeasies and bootleg gers. Three Times reporters who were supposed to have purchased liquor at these places In the course of their Investigations were summoned by the . grand Jury and refused to give that body the names and addresses of those from whom they had "bought the drinks, declaring this would make them dry snoopers and cause them to lost their positions. Judge Peyton Gordon thereupon sentenced the re porters to Jail for forty-five days for. contempt of court IN ITS legislative elections the province of Ontario, Can., pilot up a huge majority In favor of the Con servatives and of the policy of gov ernment controlled liquor sales for which they stood, premier Howard Ferguson's government won 03 of the 112 seats In the legislature. Fergu son himself doubled his majority of the last election; W. El N. Sinclair, Liberal and moderate dry leader, barely escaped defeat by a govern ment candidate, and John G. Leth bridge, bone dry Progressive leader, was beaten In the ordinarily dry rid ing of Middlesex West which he has represented for ten years. EDOCARD DALADIER, the radical Socialist who was Invited to form a new government for France, could not persuade the Socialists to par ticipate, and therefore he was forced (o Rive lip the task. Then Etlenne Clementel, president of the senute (Innnce committee, tried and failed, and the difficult Job was undertaken by Andre Tardieu. CHINESE government forces were pushing rapidly forward In a wide area In Ilonun province and engaging In heavy lighting with the reliel troops which were said to be retreating. Gen. Chiang Kai-shek himself, presi dent of the republic, went to the front to lead the nttack. The civil war conditions In the Yitngtse valley were considered so serious In Wash Ington that sis United Slates destroy- 1 ers were ordered from Mnnlla to Chinese waters to protect American lives and interests. EIGHTY-SIX American ofllcers and soldiers who were members of the expeditionary force at Archangel In 191S and 1919 and perished there are on their way back to Michigan, their home state. The bodies, re trieved by the graves commission, were conveyed on hoard the Soviet steamer Lieutenant Schmidt to Havre, France, whence they were to be brought to the United States by an American battleship. Sixty-two of the dead have been Identified. All were members of the Detroit Three Hundred and Thirty-ninth Infantry. ITALIAN Fascism celebrated Its sev enth anniversary with much eclat, and needless to say Tremler Mussolini was the central figure of the affair. In an address to CO,000 Black Shirts In Rome the Duce reviewed the progress Italy had made under his rule and gave It his full approval. He told his fol lowers the country was "armed In heart and hand" and ready for peace and for anything else; and he again warned the rest of the world to keep hands off. TRAGEDIES on Lake Michigan cost a number of lives. The liner Wis consin from Chicago foundered In a storm off Racine and fifteen persons, among them Capt. Douglas H. Mor rison, drowned despite the heroic ef forts of life guard crews. Sixty others were saved. Later In the week the steamship Senator and the ore boat Marquette collided north of Mllwan kee, the former going down with a dozen persons, and the Marquette barely reaching port. FOREMOST In the week's death list Is the name of Theodore E. Bur ton, United States senator from Ohio, who passed way In Washington after a month's Illness at the age of seventy seven years. He had served a total of forty-four years In congress. After many terms In the house he was sent to the senate. Later he returned to the house, and finally went back to the senate. He was one of the leaders of the Republican party. Funeral services for Senator Burton were held In the senate chamber In the presence of President Hoover and other high offi cials and ten senators accompanied the body to Cleveland. Other notables claimed by death were Rev. E. S. Shum&ker, superin tendent of the Indiana Anti-Saloon league; Sir Oraham Balfour, British author and biographer of Stevenson; Prince Bernbard von Buelow, former chancellor of Germany; Rev. John Roach Straton, fundamentalist Baptist preacher of New York, and Edwin B. Parker, arbiter of International World war claims. WHEN the Jury In Washington found Albert B, Fall, former secretary of the Interior, guilty of accepting a bribe from Edward Doheny for a naval reserve oil lease, It was announced that the oil magnate himself would be put on trial early In January. The verdict was a most painful snrprlse to Mr. Fall and his relatives and friends. It made him liable to a maximum sen tence of three years in prison and a fine of (300,000, but the Jury recom mended mercy and It was not believed the aged and Infirm man would be sent to prison. Out In Los Angeles another Jury brought In a verdict of guilty against Alexander Pantages, theater magnate, who was accused of assaulting Eunice Prlngle, a young/ dancer. It recom mended that he be sentenced to the penitentiary but asked that the court extend leniency. (A 1)11.

J. W?l?h I THE Slunrt living room was bright with new cretonne-cov ered furniture. II made n charming background for the three young women In colorful en sembles who were calling on Dorothy. Dorothy was the prettiest girl of the four with that sweet, wistful new mys tery of motherhood In her blue eyes. From the nest room came a faint whimper, Dorothy sprnng up. "lie's Bwnkel I want you to see him." "That's what we enme for," Peggy Scott replied. Dorothy- ran Into the nest room. William Stuart, Jr., lay In his crib, warm and rosy from Ids nap. Dorothy thrilled as she readied Into the soft nest nnd lifted him out, pressing the round head with Its adorable golden fuzz against her slender shoulder. "Mother's precious Sonny Boy 1" she whispered tenderly. She and the baby mnde a triumphal parade Into the liv ing room. He stared at the faces, wddch crowd ed so close to Ids. But his mother's arms spelled protection, and so his pink Hps curled presently In a friend ly Utile grin. At that Peggy Scotl snatched him. For the nest hour Junior was han dled, kissed and cooed over, passed from lap to lap. Anne Martin let blm hear her watch lick. Peggy Scott put her hat on his head just to see bow cute he looked peeping out from un der the hrlin. Lucia Dawes gave him a taste of candy. The three visitors played peek-a-boo with him. Then they tickled him to see him squirm. More kisses and fondling. Dorothy made no attempt to stop the perform ance. Not for worlds would these gay new friends of hers harm her bnhy. It pleased her to have them And him so Irresistible. It was only when Junior, exhausted from much mauling, begun to howl that she took him back to her own bosom. Then the girls scampered away. They had enjoyed the dainty toy, but a human mite that gave vent to real rage was too much for them. Junior had a bad night. William and Dorothy were up a good many times with him. In the morning Dor othy was too tired to rise and gel Wil liam's breakfast. He made a mess of his own coffee nnd egg and went away to his work out of humor. Dorothy'! work dragged ill day. Junior was cross, tier hnklng Old nut turn out well. In the afternoon she had more callers. Again Junior lta.1 to be ploced on exhibition, lie looked lovely with Ids pink cheeks anil spnrk ling blue eyes. That night William brought an old friend home to dinner. Dorothy was caught unawares. It wasn't a good nienl. "Steak longher than tripe," Wll Main muttered, as he sawed away. Dor othy's face reddened nnd her lips grew tight. She brought Junior In nnd a made up for a great deal. Sir. Ter rell was a bachelor who Is supposed to have an easy way with babies, lie bounced Junior, took hint to ride on his toe, made comical faces at hltn nnd startled him by putting two tin gers In his own mouth and blowing up on them as a whistle. "A baby's a nice thing," said lit. Terrell, at Inst tossing Junior Into his mother's lap. lie himself was qnlte tired and his pink bald pate shone with his exertion. "Makes a home," commented Wil liam, eyeing the combination of moth cr and child with a proudly possessive air. "He Isn't s bit sleepy yet," Dorothy complained. "Look, Billy I Isn't he cute? He's trying to peek-a-boo with you I" William slapped his hands and made little leaps nt Junior as If he were go ing to nab hltn. Junior keeled over on bis mother's lap. kicked his pink feet and squealed. Ten minutes of this de licious fun. "Now he's got to go to bed." Doro thy said firmly. But Jnnlor wasn't ready for bed. He protested lustily. He flung away his bott'e. He simply couldn't settle down. That night was worse thnn the pre ceding one. Towards midnight Junior grew so feverish that his parents were alarmed. They hnng over him with loving care. After that there was a little peace But at dawn Junior awakened crying plteously. When anal ly William went away to work he left Dorothy with a serious problem. They were newcomers In the town. Tliey knew nobody who was not as young ond Inexperienced In baby cul ture as themselves Relatives were far away. Dorothy longed for her own mother or William's mother. Towards noon she became so anxi ous over Junior's condition that she decided to call s doctor. As she stood at the window studying the pages of the telephone directory for an address ?she had not had occasion to call a doctor and the names were all strange to her?she glunced out and saw a woman coming down toe street with a basket on tier arm. Such a woman, old and plain, was an unusuol sight In that bright spot. There was n look about her that made Dorothy Zee' that here might he the very help she need ed. These old-fashioned mothers, Dor othy had heard her mother say so. al ways know exactly what to do for sick children. This woman was undoubted ly an old-fashioned toother. Dorothy flung up the sash and leaned out over the window sill Into the sun shine, a pretty picture In her blue dress. The second time she called the woman heard her. She stopped, stared. Then with an obliging gesture she turned toward the small i 7 house. Dorothy opened the door for her. ?'My baby's sick." she said. T am sure." npnln came that feeling of con vict Ion, "you will be able to tell me what's wrong with him." The woman looked Into the dls tressed young face. "Just let me take s look at him.' she said. An hour later Junior was comfort ably asleep. The fever had left his tiny llmhs. the (lush had faded in Ids cheeks, he no longer rolled his eyes and twitched, or breathed heavily Aunt Martha. Dorothy called her that, sot holding him. Her broad face was very tender, very understanding. She was still breathing a soothing croon. ?This Is your first baby," she said, rising and placing the child In his crib. "A first baby Is always a great novelty, a great treat. It Is hard not to make a plaything out of him. A baby's nervous system Is very delicate ly constructed. A fault of digestion, overexcltement?and you have s cou vulsion on your hands." She paused. "I'd he careful how 1 handled the b?h> until he Is a little older, If I were you. Don't let him see too many folks. Watch his diet like I told you ?and now I must go." Dorothy rap to get her purse. As she took out some money a queer look crossed Aunt Martha's face. Then she smiled. "Nothing of that kind, please," she said. "I'm afraid you won't come again I" "Yes, I shall." For the next week Dorothy stuck to the rules Aunt Martha had laid down for her and Junior throve. One afternoon a limousine stopi?ed before the little house. Out step|*d Aunt Martha. Dorothy opened the door. Without noticing the car she put her arms about the old lady and gave her a hearty kiss. ? "Well, how la the boy?" asked Aunt .Martha. uorotny ie<i ner m w nere lumui slumbered In Ills crib. "I cnn never lie grateful enough to you," Dorothy sold. "To think my bnhy ivng bended rlglil straight for ? convulsion! And I did not know It." "He's nil rigid now, denr. Sweet nnd sound ns n nut. Just keep on mind ing what I told you." * "You must have hnd a child to love them so!" "I had eleven, liaised them all.' Aunt Martha's eyes twinkled. She went nwny In the limousine, si which Dorothy didn't wonder much. The wny Aunt Martha hnd come to her shl, she'd probably go to anybody's. Maybe the owner of the limousine had nn ailing baby. I'eggy Scott ran In. "Aren't you getting uppity! A Hit ouslne at your drorl A distinguished caller!" "It was only Aunt Mnrtlin." "Since when have you called lire. Morion O. Sldrtner Aunt .Martha?" Mrs Morton G. Shlrmer! 'Dorothy looker! dazed. "Who is she?" I'eggy collapsed upon the sofa. "My goodness!" she gasped. "01 all dumb bells!

(Prepared by the .Natfpnal Geographic Society, Washington. D. C.) THE epicure who Is willing to blaze starlllngly new trulls now and then, can have a won derful lime on a gastronomic trip around the world. Dining In the homes of England and Western Europe, the American attend ing a fenst would And the chief dish a reminder of home. Turkey, dock or goose makes the most populnr ronst In England, while plum pudding? this time with a generously Havered brandy sauce?usually lops ofT the meal during cool seasons. In France nud Spain our American explorer of the world's tables would ngnln encounter the turkey but there he would find the capon and the pheasant shnrlng Its popularity. Mcth ods of preparation and side dishes, however, would tell hlin unmistakably that lie was getting farther afield. TrufTles. chestnuts and olives are Im portant Ingredients of the dressing of fowls In these l.atln countries. In France snails might he numbered among the viands that supplement the piece de resistance; nnd In Spain the meal, starting, say, with almond soup, would he sure to Include ntnong the secondary dishes n so pa. rice rooked In olive oil, with tomntoesnnd other vegetables and perhaps bits of meat. In northern Africa, whatever the date of the feast. It would he sure to hare as Its central dlslt cous cous This consists of wheat prepared like fine grains of rice, steamed with lamb or mutton, and vegetables If the tat ter are obtainable. It Is served In s Inrge, almost hemispherical, hnsket dlsli so closely woven that It holds water. About this container the diners sit, tnklng their food with their An gers Olives, dates nnd figs help to completo the meal; nnd on occasion there may be a dish of locusts? "grasshopiiers"?prepared with wheat. The legs, wings nnd heads are re moved before the creatures are cooked. , v. Among (lie Zulus of southern Africa whole oxen or bullocks are roasted at feast time; and In centrnl Africa the feast of feasts Is roasted ele phant's foot. In Persia, as throughout all the Near and Centrnl Knst, mutton holds first place. There the accepted epi curean trick Is to cook the meat In pomegranate Juice. Rice is cooked In grease, and the two combined form the famous pilau. With the pilau is served the thin, crisp, paperlike bread of Persia. Raw Meat In Tibet. If one's culinary Investigations ex tend to backward Tibet he finds a strange combination of a barbarism which shows Itself In the eating of raw meat?the "higher" and "gamier" the better?and an Ingenuity that has evolved concentrated emergency ra tions. A Tibetan feast might consist of yak meat, strong tea mixed with rancid butter, and parched barley meal moistened with the greasy tea Evaporated and dried yak's milk soaked In tea would constitute the Tibetan "dessert course." In India no Important repast would be complete without quantities of rice and curry. It Is In Java, however, that rice Is raised to Its highest status as a food. If he who goes exploring among tbe foods of the world Is a connoisseur he may well pause In Java, devoting days and weeks to ex ploring the variations?the nuances, one might almost say?of that Dutch Javan food masterpiece, the rljst tafel (rice table). Rice Is boiled to flaky whiteness and spread evenly on platters, each of which Is to serve as an Individual dish. But this rice, good as It Is In Itself, and later because of Its bor rowed savors, is as yet only the foun dation of tbe dtah, tbe "table" at tbe Dutch /rave ft. On It are placed lit tle heaps of choice tidbits limited In variety only by ttie genius and imag ination of lire chef and Iris master's pocket hook*. Feasting is something of nn insti tution among well-to-do Koreans. Once or twice a year tire wealthy rice landlords go to Seoul, tire capital, and invite small armies of friends und ac quaintances to dine with them that their prestige may he heightened In the eyes of their world. Half a dozen or more meats may Ire served nt such a feast?beef, mutton, venison, fowls, fish and oysters. Itice, of course, holds an Important place on the menu. Seaweed, cooked In oil and served with slices of red irepper; and klra shee, a kind of sauerkraut, are fa vorite side dishes. The guests eat their portions from little individual ' tables. How They Eat In Japan. In Japan, too, gue3ts nt feasts eat from low. small, separate tables, their dishes being served usually in the kitchen. An exceptional feast Is like ly to Ire marked by the appearance of the piece de resistance?usually fish ?whole before the guests A favorite food for tliis sort of treatment is a big Iraked red snapper. It is placed on n table of Its own In the center of n circle of the guest table, and portions are served from It by a serv ant. The little tflfrles nt n Japanese feast nre packed with a varied urrny of Individual dishes. The guest prob ably will tlnd clear chicken soup, the inevitable covered dish of rice, a slab of raw fish, roast bird, shrimp frit ters, fruit, and various pickled greens. He may tind, too, the most character istic of nil Japanese edibles, pickled chrysanthemum petals. For dessert he will have rice cakes and sweetened bean paste, a stiff. Jelly-like substance, not unlike Turkish paste. At Japanese Inns tlie traveler Is told that "Bombay duck" can he had at a reasonable price. The hungry customer visions a fat fowl but the waiter brings in pieces of smoked fish about two Inches long and as thick as a dime. The menu also Includes pickled seaweed, seaweed Jelly, and chutney which resembles pickled cit ron. hut (s almost as hot as Mexican chile. More raw than cooked flsh Is eaten by Japanese. Itaw haby octo puses are particularly popular. "Jap anese I.lmburger" Is not a cheese but a Japanese pickled dalkon, or lone, white radish. Traveling still farther eastward on his circumnavigation of the food world, our explorer would still have to pass through the PneISc Islands before completing his Journey. Ta hiti may he taken as typical of this region. There preparation for a feast means killing the fatted pig. The animal Is usually roasted wliola with yams and native plantains. Coco nut sauce and coconut milk complete the feast, which Is served on a huge banana leaf spread on the floor. The guests sqnnt about this green "board" eating with their Angers. When Mexico Is reached, the trav eler finds that com or maize Is thn sfoflT of life. But to the American used to his substantial and sizable loaf It Is likely to nppear a some what frail prop. Most of the Mexican corn Is not milled Into meal or flour. It Is laltorlonsly crushed vjlth small stone rollers hy hand, in millions of kitchens and door.vnrds. The crushed grain Is then moistened Into a stiff paste and cooked on a griddle Into what the average visitor from north of the Rio Grande would term a "tough, flabby pancake." These are tortillas, the most generally used ar ticles of food In Mexico. They are cooked In the home. In restaurants, over braziers In the market place, or taken cold by laborers In their Innch packets.
