STILL BUSY ON HER PATCHWORK QUILT! Plattsburgh, N. Y., Wednesday, January 21, 1931 A COMMISSION AND ITS LABORS We have heard of \hung juries\ and were often of the opinion that they should have been hanged. This, in lace ol the fact that this is a free country and that every man is en- titled to his opinion. We never knew, however, what a diver- gence of opinions there might be when a dozen or so persons attempt to reach a given spot by traveling in entirely different directions. This Wiekersham reporU-or, perhaps \Liquorsham report\ might be more in keeping—is now before the people and its re- ception, if we are to judge from comments by national leaders and outstanding newspapers, is about as enthusiastic as a tongue-tied schoolboy preparing to recite \Horatio at. the Bridge.\ Hopes were high nineteen months ago when the country was combed to find eleven individuals of high ideals, extra- ordinary intelligence, profound wisdom, irreproachable charac- ter, dignified demeanor, unimpeachable integrity and exalted courage. This was something of an undertaking, but the coun- try in general was satisfied that President Hoover had discov- ered a set of citizens who filled all these specifications. No one doubts the truth of this, even now. \Hand picked,\ if ever that expression was justified. Of course militant firys will probably execrate the two who are frankly for repeal, just as the militant wets call down ana- themas upon the heads of the chairman and his two associates who still believe the Amendment should be given another op- portunity to emerge from the experimental stage. Members who are like the Great Lord General Napoleon's army, \neither up nor down,\ but all with a slight accent on the \down to say nothing of the member who advocates Government control, may probably furnish the means for finding comfort to both sides of the argument. It seems rather a sad commentary to state that eleven citizens of the highest type should give so many months of their time in trying to reach some solution to a most vexing ques- tion. Yet of all the comment we have read tonight—and we have read plenty-^-not one, wet or dry, has given what might be regarded ,as unstinted praise to the work of these people. On the other hand, we have read what seems to us to be unqualified abuse, to say nothing of ridicule, belittling and pick- ing apart of the whole report. Perhaps we are not justified in saying \picking apart,' 1 for the Commission itself seems to have taken care of that part of it in a surprisingly expert man- ner. Frankly, we believe the President had a right to something - more than he received in his avowed effort to solve what ap- pears to be the most perplexing problem that has ever come be- for the American people. Even the abolition of slavery ques- tion was far simpler, for in that case each side honestly thought it was in the right. In the present instance we fear that there are a great many on both sides who do not care so much wheth- er they are right or not so long as they get their own way. This docs not mean that there are not thousands of men and women on both sides who are absolutely honest in their contentions. If the Wiekersham Commission could do no more than it has done we are not so sure that we blame people for being_ disappointed. It was not necessary for a body composed of pre- sumably the most intelligent of our citizens to spend nearly two years to produce a ponderous document to tell us that there is a diversity of opinion on the liquor question. Any boy on the street might tell us that. Why assume that we are children? • Why say in one breath \The Eighteenth Amendment shall not be repealed,\ and in the next breath give us forty reasons why it is unenforcable and should be replaced by something—heaven only knows what. This, to our mind, is the nearest approach to dishonesty in the whole proceeding. It savors too much of the well-known jury idea of coming to some kind of compromise and then saying, \Well we had to agree on something.\ In the case of a jury, however, the decision reached usually ends the case. The members do not come into the court room with a verdict, and when the verdict is rendered allow each one to give his own reasons why he does not agree with what he has already agreed to. Hardly \Kosher.\ thai, according to our way of thinking. If anything looked to our mind like tacit admission of fail- ure, it is that same document. More than eighteen months in time and $500,000 in money to be told that \the old saloon' must never come back.\ If we had a dollar for every time that remark has been made by wets and drys in the past,eleven years the unemployment situation would never worry us again. The Eighteenth Amendment must not be repealed, but if it if. repealed something else must be put in its place.\ Have you ever seen one of those squirrel cages where the little animals run as if they expected to get to Rouses Point in thirty seconds and still never advance from the po.'ition they are in? You know the kind of a cage we mean, one of those \merry-go- 'round affairs built on the treadmill plan. That is what seems to us to sum up the situation. And the worst of il is we have to settle ourselves down to another series of endless arguments instead of peaceably going about our business and \the pursuit of happiness.\ As one writer said. \Yes we have no conclu- sions. We have no conclu.'ions today.\ And there you are. NEWARK, i/Pi—Warren J. Bar-1 band.

BY SISTER MARY NK\A Service,Writer Hver is considered otio at \the be3t foods in the world for building up the blood, many moth- ers are interested in methods oC cooking it other'than frying itwitli bacon or smothering It with onions. The hearts of both calves and beef are now regarded as excel- lent foods and are less expensive than calves' liver. Kidneys have long been esteemed in England as a delicacy and now scientists in- form us that'they are richer in vitamins than steaks and roasts. Properly cooked these glandular organs are truly delicious and should be utilized as inexpensive sources bt valuable food elements. Creamed liver and bacon is a better dish for small children than the ordinary fried liver and bacon served in many households. * * * Creamed Liver and Bncon Three-fourths pound calves' liv- er, 4 thin slices bacon, 2 table- spoons butter, 2 tablespoons flour, 1 1-2 cups milk, 1-4 teaspoon pep- per. Dice liver and roll In flour sea- soned with salt and pepper. Broil Iiacon and use drippings to saute liver. Shake liver over a low fire until tender. Meanwhile melt but- ter, stir in flour and slowly add milk, stirring constantly. 'Bring to the boiling point and pour over prepared liver. Heat thoroughly and serve on hot toast, garnishing with crisp broiled bacon. Beef kidney in tomato sauce is a savory dish that will be particu- larly relished on a cold winter eve- ning. ' Reef Kidney in Tomato Sanco . ' One pair beef kidneys, 2 onions, 1 sweet green pepper, 2 cups can-', ned tomatoes, 3 tablespoons flour,; 3 tablespoons fat, 1 teaspoon salt,; 1-4 teaspoon pepper.
