THE MEL TING POT "Come Take Pot Luck With Us"

OUR MINOR MINERALS. Sec'y of the Interior Iin retentlj o:Yr-d a suggestion for increasing transpf.rt facilities, it is simply that the United States increase its own production of minor minerals and so release the many ships that must now ie .j5,d to trinc thes minerals to us front distant lands China. Ceylon, Chile. Spain. Australia, Greenland. Theij Minor minerals, chief amon? them beins; manganese, are essentials in the manufacture of steel for hUh-grade munition.', auto and airplane frames and armor-piercing projectiles, and in making various e.xpioaivej. The lTnitd Ftates has mins containing manganese, tungsten, chromite. nitrate, mercury, antimony, mica, and so on down the list. Hut they are small mines and have never ben worked to their full capacity. A LlII to provide for the immediate expansion of our supply of these minor minerals- has already passed the houso of representatives by an emphatic vote. The ida behind thL-. legislation, folio-wins Mr. Lane's sujti.'estion. is that the government should establish a minimum price to encourage small producers. Certain Montana companies have already mad" great strides in developing manqaneso production in that state. Private initiative, backed by government aid ought to accomplish hi? results in this minor mineral production, whethtr or not it releases many ships for other uses.

CONCERNING GLASS IN BREAD. All that clitters in a loaf of bread is not necessarily Sias--, it is well known by this time that there was

1 1 never any 'oundation for the "ground glass scare." Dut

why diil so many apparently Intelligent people happen to fancy that their bread had ylass in it? An explanation rs given by experts employed by the Journeyman Bakers and Confectionary Workers' International union. They report: "Corn (lour under the microscope shows many hard, flinty pieces of the endosperm (germ), which hae a very glas.- appearance. When baked in a quick oven some of theft particles retain their ?lass-like appearance. though in the ordinary process of baking this appearance, is lost." In bran flours. th-y say. a nervous person might easily fancy that particles of the hard outer husk were glass. And dextrine sometimes solidities into a hard, transparent mass which might be mistaken for glass. The natural conclusion is that most of the people who reported having found glass in their bread were simply deceived by the unwonted appearance of the new materials we're usin for breadstuff.

HAULING FOOD. While the farmers and truck gardeners are doinpr their best to increase food production, efforts are being made to provide better means of distributing the food they raise. Food Administrator Hoover is encouraging the rural motor express idea, to carry foodstuffs quickly from country to city. The state councils of national defense, too. are intere.ted in the establishment of such express lines. It's a tine opening fo - private enterprise. The port office department seeks to attain the same Object by an extension of the parcel post system, providing mo'or trucks to carry vegetables, fruits, etc., on many hundred routes. Rural sections have been receiving about :ght packages to one sent out. That means they are buying but not selling throucrh the parcel post. That in-coming and out-i;olng traflic ought to be better balanced. Experiments wth motor truck routes have proved that the plan can be made profitable for everybody concerned, including the government. There t-hould be a literal appropriation for it.

SERIOUS JESTING. A sergeant named Frnst FKntje of Cambridge, Mass., in training at Camp Devens. was greatly amused by the part the United States was playing in the war. He informed his comrades that "if the German army ever saw this bunch they would laugh themselves to death." He invited friends to drink with him to the heaPh of the kaiser. He argued that this country had no business entering the war. And he announced, that the president, who happVned to be his commander-in-chief, was unfit for his job. It was very funny for a while. Flentje seemed to get a good deal of mirthful satisfaction out of seeing his comrades and fellow-citizens squirm and writhe under the sting of his Teutonic barbs. Then all at once something dropped. He -was hauled before a courtmartial and sentenced to 20 years' imprisonment in Fort Jay, N. V. It's an appalling sentence. Maybe it's more severe than the offer.se deserved, though that's a debatable question. But there'e one thing sure there'll be less

of such disloyal talk, whether in earnest or in jest, in

any branch or unit of tho American army hereafter, and also in the home circles from which the army is recruited.

JUDGE HUGHES VERSUS COPPERHEADS. It must b disquieting, and disconcerting, indeed, to the aeronautic and other anti-administration "copperheads" in Washington, South Bend and elsewhere, to have their presidential nominee of two years ago. Mr. Charles Kvans Hughts, taking the same attitude as the president with refertne' to their military affairs investigations, and uriring thetn to quit their interference. "It is a department of justice job," he boldly tells them, and soundly suggests that the senate and house on Capitol Hill misht better be devoting their energies to their own legitimate work. The letter of Judge Hughes to Atty. Gen. Gregory, and turned n r l the attorney general to the senate, seems to confirm a spying somewhat current these days, when taken in conjunction with Capitol Hill criticisms. It runs: "Not ajl republicans are traitors but all traitors are republicans." auch as Juilr Hush's, WiP.ian.

The polite, indirect reb ;ke. handed them by Judge Hughes, beginning hi part in the department of justice investigation, may hold them, or it may not, hut the country will se the point and out of fairness will insist that the president mut have been ruht from the Dutset, as confirmed by the former supreme court justice, or his viewpoint would r.t hae been adopted.

DUTCH MUPS. (Indianapolis Xewvs.) A few weeks ago an agreement was entered into between the United States and Holland in accordance with which certain of the Dutch ships now in American ports should sail for the United States. The object, of course, was to prevent these ships being locked up in Holland ports as a result of German threats. New Holland has prohibited the departure of all her ships from their home ports. As a result our government has refused to permit the sailing of hlps from this country with food for the people of Holland. There was no other action that could have been tak?n. We musi insiit that the arreement be lived up to. To send ships to Holland under present conditions would be merely to tie them up during the continuance of the war. What is the reason for this change of policy on the part of the Netherlands government no one knows. It is believed to be the result of i yielding to German demands, since Germany would. even at the risk of starving Holland, do everything she could to keep this country from using the Dutch tonnage. If the Netherlands government desires food for its people it lnst send some of the 40. tonnage now in home ports tc get it. The food is here, and readyto be shipped. All tivat.is needed is ships. These aro ready for serf ice. If the people of Hollanel suffer th1 blame must reft on their own. government.

Still Time to Plant Garden

After May 20 it is safe in this region to plant almost any of the heat-loving garden crops, such as eggplant, peppers, lima beans, sweet potatoes. cucumbers, melons, etc., and it is not too late to plant most of the early crops. There is still time to make a planting of peas with good chances of success, but such crops as parsnips, carrots, salsify, radishes lettuce, spinach, and other crops that do not stand heat well should be planted with the thought that they may not do their best, especially if extremely hot weather come before they become well established. This being an especially backward spring, it may be best in this section to defer the planting or eggplant and peppers until the ground warms up a little more. Planting

may be done on light, warm soils at least a week sooner than on heavysoils, hence the gardener must be guided in making plantings by the location and character of his seil. There is, of course, some variation in the region for which this advice is given. The planting of the more tender crops may be made in the southern part of the region a week or so before similar plantings should be gotten under way in the northern portion. Trre advice is based on the average date of the latest killing frost in this zone, and the fact that this is an extremely late spring makes it altogether probable that the planting of the more tender crops will have to be deferred until conditions are just right. Beginners in gardening should consult others more experienced.

THE FIjAG or iT.ur. (By Cliarlcs ILatwn Towup tf tho YigÜAntes.) The 24th of May is the anniversary of the third year of Italy's entrance into the world war. Valiant work her army has done. Cadorna scaled the white peaks of the Austrian Alps in a wild attempt to sweep down upon the plains below. He failed. Hut that does not minimize the value of hi heroic effort. "They only fail who have not striven.' a poet once ;ang. Italy i? in this war to stay. Who has ever doubted her national '.atrioti?m? She was th spiritual ally

! of England and France from the very moment the Hun j invaded llelgium. And if. on those snow-kissed rnountt.iin: in 1'4l7. she did not succeed in the srreat work she

undertook to do. not her the harne, but virs; for. needing coal and ammunition, she was left to wage her dramatic battle alone. All the mor reason why her beautiful flag should J'.y with ours in the breeze today and every day. Why do w neglect Italy in this colossal conflict? We hang out the Union Jack and the red, white and blue stripes of France with the emblem of America; yet when I go through the streets of any city or town I seldom ee the beautiful colon of the Italy we all love and reverence. "Hverv man ha two countries his own, and Italy."

Let us prove it by displaying her nag. It is little indeed

ifor us to do.

ABOUT KILLING DOGS. Editor News-Times: Some time ago the council passed an ordinance to the effect that all dogs and cats which were on the streets should be shot. Or at least that was the intent of the ordinance though perhaps not the exact wording of it. Since that time all police have been armed and a wholesale destruction of animals, both strays and pets, has taken place. The reason for this was ostensibly to protect war gardens, and they should be protected, but it is not at all likely that all the animals that have been killed were molesting gardens. Numerous reports have come to the writer of policemen shooting dogs lying on the front steps at home or elsewhere on the home grounds. Some have been shot on the street where they were doing no harm. Cats have been shot in the owner's yard, many of them at nisht and entirely without cause. In some parts of the city people are awakened at night by shots tired at dogs or cats. When owners complain they are curtly told to keep their animals tied up and that is the end of it so far as the administration is concerned. Just how long people are going to endure this state of affairs without protest is a question. The flimsy pretext of war gardens will not blind people to the fact that a real effort is being made to exterminate pets in this c?ty. Some people will complain about the pet of a neighbor in order to carry out a grudge. Others declare it costs too much these days to feed a pet. therefore kill it. These same people will often spend enough or. themselves for tobacco, chewing gum and candy to feed a half dozen pets and think the money well spent. It all depends on the point of view. Everybody knows that animals cannot be shut up every minute and be healthy. They must have exercise and it is the very essence of cruelty to deprive them of it. A cat cannot be tied up and a dog gets very tired of a clothes line when he is tied to it for days and weeks. The very people who are so anxious now to have dogs and cats killed will be the nrst to be heard when we are all o 'errun with rats and mice, which will be the logical result. And traps will not catch mice half as well ss cats will. Let lovers of animals protest against this wanton destruction or it will go on until every child is de

prived of the right to have a pet and our city will be destitute of domestic animals. A Member of the Humane Society.

WAR BREAD AND WARFARE. What sort of an excuse for a poor American are you to grumble all the time because the breadstuff's and pastry "don't taste like they usd to taste?" Suppose the bread you buy of the bai.er does not look as white as it diu before the war? What of it? The baker has to be loyal and put into effect government restrictions and use wheat substitutes in his bakery, just as you must in your heme baking. And you are not a patriot if you ecu plain, even to yourself, about the looks and the taste of such bread. Ten to one your digestion and general health would be a great deal better today if you had begun years ago to go fifty-fifty on cereals and wheat. Compare your condition today with the condition of nations where far greater restrictions are enforced, rnd remember from now on as never before that you are mighty glad that you are an American. Here you are living in peace and comfort, free from the anxiety of constant danger that you may oe blown up before the morning. Be thankful every time you oat a piece of war bread that anything üo good and wholesome can stand between you and the hordes of Huns who are being held back by just such trival sacrifices on your part. War bread? Love it. (Copyright, m.)
