HELPFUL HINTS 6IVEN HUNTERS OF MUSHROOM Know Them When You See Them Is Safest, State Journal Says. To the hundreds of Hoosiers who are spending their leisure hours these early spring days hunting through the lowlands for mushrooms, the State Conservation Department gave advice today. In its monthly publication, Outdoor Indiana, the department warned that, popular remedies for detecting poisonous fungi are not •ivi ttAfte oi dependable. "The fungi thrive in warm, moist places and in sandy localities. Mushrooms have been gathered very early in the spring, often immediately following the last light snows. Many Indiana sportsmen begin their search early in the southern part, of the state, working north as the season progresses," the article states, Ordinary Tests Ignored ' The best way to detect, poisonous fungi is to learn to recognize the various species by sight. The seasoned gatherer dismisses as wholly unfounded the ordinary tests made by the layman, such as the assertion that mushrooms that peel easily are edible, that soaking or boiling in salt water will render them harmless and that poisonous species change color and turn a silver spoon black. Morels, or sponge mushrooms, ran be eaten without fear. They are conic or cylindric to ovate in shape and vary in size. Specimens have been found which weighed nearly a pound. They are buff yellow tinged with brown when young, but become darker later. Thev should be searched for during wet weather early in the season. •'Dangerous fungi almost invariably breed In leafmold on the ground. It is not safe to collect young, unopened mushrooms commonly known as 'buttons,’ since it is often difficult to distinguish between poisonous and edible species in the early stage. Here Are a Few Don't* “Never use specimens which are decomposed in the slightest degree. Never use those which are at all burrowed by insects. Never use fungi with swollen bases surrounded by sac-like or scaly envelopes. Never use fungi with milky Juice unless the juice is reddish. "Never use fungi with caps thin In proportion to the width of the gills when the gills are nearly all of equal length, especially if the caps are brightly colored. "Never use for food tube-bearing fungi in which the flesh changes color whpn cut or broken, nor those with reddish tubes. Be very cautious with all fleshy tube-bearing fungi. Never use for food fungi with a weblike ring around the upper part of the stem. Safe for (he Novice "The novice may safely experiment, with Clavarias, coral fungi, morrl* and puffballs; these specimens have been repeatedly tried without ill effects. Famous chefs say that mushrooms are highly delectable, easy to prepare and offer a wide variety of flavors. "They should be cooked soon after being gathered, but can be kept in a cool place for a short time. To keep mushrooms temporarily, cleanse, remove the parts to be rejected, rinse in cold water the parts to be used, dry with a cloth, then put in boiling water \nd keep boiling for five or 10 minutes, drain and wipe dry. "To prepare the edible agarics for rooking cleanse, cut off the stems and throw them away, rinse the caps in cold water, drain and place in cold water acidulated with lemon or vinegar until just before using. They may be toasted, baked, fried boiled or stewed." OFFICERS ARE CHOSEN BY INDIANA U. GROUP I,eo Shumaker Named President of I Loral Club. L>eo W.

Just; Sensible Peace Will Keep'World From War, British Labor Leader Savs

George Lansbury Outlines Requirements at Mass Meeting. "A peace founded on collective l Justice, equity and common-sense is i the only kind that will keep the world from war,” the veteran British labor leader, George Lansbury, warned at an Emergency Peace Campaign mass meeting last night in Cadle Tabernacle. Mr. Lansbury, who has led the forces of labor and peace in the British Parliament, was introduced by Gov. McNutt at the final sesI sion of the all-day peace meeting ! yesterday. The Indianapolis conference was a part of a nation-wide movement being conducted in more than 300 cities. Claims League Principle Wrong Participants yesterday heard lectures on peace, joined in open forums and passed resolutions cen--1 soring world rearmament. Morning and afternoon sessions were held in the Claypool and Roberts Park M. E. Church. “It is evident," Mr. Lansbury said, “that, Eun*iean statesmen beTieve that peace can be founded on collective armaments and force, but those who follow the developments in Europe today must feel a fear for generations to come. "Europe can not function effectively through the League of Nations to maintain peace, because the League was founded on the wrong principle. "The nations victorius in 1919 controlled the League, and they attempted to gain collective security through arms, but security can come only from love and justice,” he said. Pleads for Co-Operation Mr. Lansbury said that nations must recognize each other’s right to share in world markets and territories. He urged that pacifists appeal to President Roosevelt to challenge the world to halt rearmaments. "Let your President tell the world that imperialism is dead and damned and has never brought us anything but dead fruit," he said. "Let us turn anew page, on which history can write ‘co-operation and service’ rather than ‘competition and hatred.’ ’’ Favor Mandatory Neutrality In resolutions passed during the afternoon, the local unit of the Emergency Peace Campaign put itself on record as supporting enactment of mandatory legislation for neutrality, reduction of armaments and referendum on war. Legislation opposed by the unit includes any that might draw this nation into war, increase armaments or restrict civil liberties. The organization also resolved to study the basic causes of war, to carry on an educational program on war and peace and to work for adoption of peace planks in party platforms. The Rev. Ray Newton, Philadelphia, chairman of the American Friends Service Committee peace section, spoke at a luncheon yesterday. A ministers’ meeting was held before noon in the Roberts Park M. E. Church. At the afternoon conferences. Mr. Newton led discussions on "What Changes Should Be Made in the United States Foreign Policy" and "An Effective Peace Program for Local Communities.” Rabbi Ferdinand Isserman, Tem*ple Israel, St. Louis, spoke on Germany under the Nazi regime and the threat of war in Europe. Mr. Newton declared that four causes for the war threat today necessitate strenuous effort for peace. Causes, Mr. Newton said, were increase of militaristic nationalism, loss of faith in disarmament, lack of faith in treaties and weariness from the world-wide depression. Political and economic adjustments are essential to a permanent peace, he said. The Emergency Campaign is attempting to build a movement of people who will actively oppose participation in any war, Mr. Newton added.

I. U. PRESIDENT EULOGIZES LIFE OF WAPATTEN Benefactor of University Is Praised for 'Sturdy Convictions.’ Time* Special BLOOMINGTON, Ind, May 5 Dr. William Lowe Bryan, Indiana University president, when informed of the death of William T. Patten, Indianapolis alumnus, spoke of the university’s benefactor as a man “of sturdy convictions and intelligence.” He issued the following statement: "In my visits with Mr. Patten since his acute illness I have been impressed /ith the unconquerable courage of the man. In his conversation he showed the breadth of his information, his intelligence and his sturdy convictions. Above "all, he showed heroic self-command while suffering almost unendurable pain. He was, indeed, a soul fortified against every assault of ill fortune. I should like to say to him as I once said to another benefactor of the university, Dr. Luther Dana manScholars Are ‘Sons’ ‘“Sir, you have no son. But the scholars who work upon the foundation which you have established here shall be your sons. Far down’ the years when all of us are in the dust your virile sons shall be here keeping alive your name and your hope.’ ” Bursar U. H. Smith, a classmate of Mr. Patten, commented as follows: “William T. Patten and I entered Indiana University at the same time. We were warm personal friends throughout college life, taking our bachelor degrees together. Provided $115,000 Fund

“The warm friendship begun in college has continued unbroken until his death. During the last years of his life, he was an invalid, suffering pain most of tl\e time. He

had a great philosophy of life. On the strength of his philosophy, he suffered without complaint. He was always a cheerful companion. From his bearing and attitude one never suspected the piin he suffered." | In may of 1932, Mr. Patten gave $115,000 to the university, the income of which is to be used in bringing to the campus eminent scientists and teachers for lectures. The gift is in the form of Liberty Bonds and Indiana municipal bonds held in trust by the university. Income was to go to the donor during his lifetime and after that to the university.
