Turnip Season

WASHINGTON, July 27—Turnip season, as decreed by President Truman, is upon us. Turnips in none of their delicious form, I am saddened to report, are to be found on the menus of either the House or Senate restaurants. The ‘ management of the Capitol on this opening day of the special congressional session seems to be going out of its way to ignore turnips. Since future generations will be reading in their school books about how Mr. Truman chose t July 26, turnip-planting day in Missouri, to call Congress back, I think this worthy vegetable deserves some notice. Turnips are purple outside and either white or yellow within. THe yellow ones are known as rutabagas. These taste more like turnips than turnips do. In Silver Hill, Md., I know a lady who packs down every fall a cask of turnip wine. It is pale yellow, potent, and sweetish. Each' turnip has on top a bushy head of greens which when boiled with bacon, is a favorite dish of those Southerners who intend to vote for anybody but the founder of turnip day. Stuffed turnips, hollowed out and filled with hamburger, are said to be good, too.

Place in Literature Secife

“THE TURNIP'S place in literature is secure. Charles Dickens frequently lauded turnips. Samcso, the dictionary man, once wrote this

ar a man who turnips cries “Cry not when his father dies, . "Tis proof that he had rather - % Hjave a turnip than his father.” tary Wadsworth Longfellow was another turnip poet. He wrote: :

Laws With a Turnip Flavor? |

THE BRITISH first began to grow turnips for their sheep in 1724. This made the lambs tat an their wool thick and the turnip is credited by his-

izing English agriculture More turnips are consumed per capita now in England by far than in Missouri.

The man who doses his turnip patch with |

plenty of sulphate of ammonia, superphosphate and muriate of potash is likely to get 1000 bushels

of turnips per acre. The average Missouri turnip &

grower thinks 500 bushels is enough. Cows favor turnips as much as do sheep, but this isn't such a good idea, except for those who! like their milk with a distinct turnip flavor. The turnip originated, no matter what the House un-American Activities Committee may! claim, in Russia. ? | The chief enemies of the turnip are the flea beetle and Othman. Tobacco dust takes care of the former; it probably would shut up ithe latter, too. | So much for turnips because today the turnin Congress, it says here in the congressional record, gets down to work, but not hoeing turnips.’ That’s the beauty about turnips. They must not be hoed. Causes 'em to droop. |

A stunning girl with sandals, a corduroy jacket and blue slacks came in with a stately man with a heroic Van Dyck beard. “I hate him,” said Dahl with violence. “He's a portrait painter—a successful portrait painter. Paints rich women—Faa!” “She is a successful model,” said Dan. prettier in the nude.”

Climbed 6 Floors in Musty Hotel

WHEN WE finished dinner, Dan announced that the main course had probably been horsemeat, but I tried not to think about that.

Dahl, pocketing bread crusts left on the table, asked us up to his studio. We climbed six flights of stairs in a musty hotel. I was puffing like a cross-channel swimmer who'd had to battle sharks all the way over. There were seven of us in the party now— somewhere along the line we had acquired a Danish sculptor and a Canadian poetess who wore shorts. Dahl swung open the door of his coffin-sized room, only to remember that he had forgotten to buy a new bulb—the present one was blown ou. Naturally, this was no Hotel Plaza—you foring your own soap and bulbs. i We sat on the floor in the hallway wh brought out his paintings and the poetess around a bottle of wine. The only trouble with this hallway as an art gallery was the light—it kept going on and off. You see, the thrifty French adjust their hall lights to a .neter. When going downstairs, you press a button to turn on the lamp. It lasts for a minute and if you're fast you don’t break your neck. I, found Dahl's work very interesting—if confusing. The boy has talent—but I don’t know in what direction. He is not a cubist, a rectangularist or a squarist.

for their field training. . ~ » WHILE the Ohioans are here nearly 600 members of the air arm of the Indiana Guard will be at Baer Field, Ft. Wayne, for 15 days of flying and study of military aviation tactics. All in all a quarter of a million men in the National Guard will move into camps and air fields throughout the nation for two weeks of field training this summer. It will be the biggest peacetime show ever to be staged by the Guard in its history. However, the Indiana Guard, like units in other parts of the country, is confronted with a problem which is causing considerable concern. ~ ~ » OFFICERS are afraid participation in summer maneuvers may not be what it should be because of the reluctance of some businesses and industries to adopt a policy of granting military leaves

to employees who are members of the Guard. | In hopes that Hoosier management will make universal effort to help the Guard have a successful encampment, Adjutant General Howard Maxwell has cited some benefits of the training. He sald the organization of a strong National Guard will reduce the need for a large standing military force, thereby reducing the cost in taxes necessary. And he added that the adoption of the leave policy would build the morale of employees and make them more effective in the business world because of the leadership training they could receive. : »

Particular attention is being given to making the camp period as enjoyable as possible by providing adequate medical care, good fdod and plenty of recreational facilities, Gen. Maxwell said.

Pair Sentenced In*Cabhig’s Death

Charges Dismissed

Against Two Others Two of five men charged with the slugging death of a local cab driver last fall today began serving prison terms at the Indiana Reformatory. Special Judge Cale J. Holder sentenced the pair yesterday in Criminal Court 2 after they agreed to plead guilty to ‘lesser charges in preference to standing trial for murder in the death of Marion Pauley last Nov. 8. Sentences Listed Judge Holder meted out a two-to-21-year -sentence to Richard Hester, 21, of 2459 Columbia Ave., on a manslaughter count. David Hester, his brother, 23, of the same address, received one to 10 years for assault and battery with intent to-kill. Charges against two other members of the five-man group were dismissed by Judge Holder on a petition from the state that evidence against them was “insufficient to support a conviction.” They were Edward Williams Jr, 2604 Winthrop Ave. and Charles Hill, 25, of 2956 Sangster- Ave. Both were alleged to have participated in the fatal * fight with Mr. Pauley over 10 cents of a 35-cent fare. Attorneys for the fifth man involved in the "cab driver's death, Richard Waller, 22, of 1317 Columbia Ave., have venued his case to Johnson County Circuit Court, Franklin, The trial is set for Oct. 2,
