The annual ineeting‘of the Asso-
ciated Press in ‘New York, the early
part of this week; in which orgam-
cation The Evening Sentinel is
proud to proclaim its membership
again. brought to the general atten-
tion one of the most remarkable co-
operative ciiorls in practical ideal-

the founding of The Associated
Press as “'t. know it today. More

tha‘n twelve hundred morning. cvc-

banded together. the large paper as
well as the small paper having equal
rights and an equal vote. in collect-
ing and gathering news of import-
ance in almost every town and city

lulthls country and in all the im-
portant centers of Europe.

The keynote of Associated Press
news is fairness. honesty and impar-
tiality. One side or the other of a
question is never takcn; the facts
alone are prcscntcd.

‘Arlother glaring instance of this

The Evening Sentinel did not pub—

Novel Telephone Uses.
.When three persons living in
Middle Haddam. Conn.. who had
been arrested for failure to license
their dogs were unable to come to
court recently at East Hampton,
Conn. because of the bad roads.
Justice of the Peace Frederick E.
Ducll held court over the tele-
phone. After hearing the evidence-
tho justice lined each Si and costs.
The prisoners mailed the amount

of the lines and cests. totaling
$3.32 each, so that they did not
have to appear in the court house
at all.

A Cloteiand concern recently ran
an advertisement in the newspa-
pers. saying that there would be
a. big sale on in the store. cover-
ing a lot of articles. and that or-

"Why don't you telegraph the

about her best lriend.

"No, l'd rather open it myself: I'll

Aunty resulted herself to days and
days of suspense. [She was so af-

to it. in the first few words she said
to some young people who came in
that evening.

on a previous occasion. Michael
liked him. and Liluh thought. he
was interesting. They were delight-

his guests on a yachting party over
the week-end. .

"It's too bad we promised Paul
Luph we'd go to his place for the
week-cud." Aunt Mary said. "be-
cause Harry has the finest yacht on

"It isn't nearly that." he laughed.
“And it's second-handed.“ v .

Lilali shot a disappointed look at
Michael. She had forgotten to ask
Aunt Mary to call of! the Luph par-
ty. She was enthusiastic over the‘
project of taking a cruise on the
ocean. Her experience as a voyage:-
was limited to the hours she had
spent in a. canoe in the park lake
back home.

JL'LIUS KBU’I‘I‘SCRNIIT

An outstanding figure ‘in the rail-
road industry who has shaped the
destines of the Southern Pacific rail-
road for many years. will retire as
head of that system on May 3i. after
forty-eight years of continuous serv-
i\‘e. lie is Julius Kruttschnitt.

Having passed the age of 70. Mr.
l-iruuschnitt announced recently that
he would take advantage 0! 'the
company's pension rules to sever his
relations with the road.

Mr. Kruttschnltt will be succeed-
ed as chairman or the executive
conimltte and board of directors of
the Southern Pacific by Henry W.
Deforest. who since 1913 bu direct-
ed the financial interests of the com»
pany.

Like many other men who have
risen to high positions in industry.
Mr. Kruttschnitt began his railroad
career at the bottom of the ladder.
Graduated from Washington and
Lee university in 1873 with the de-
gree of civilengineer, he taught
school for five years. and then en~
tered the service of the Morgan'
Louisiana 8: Texas railroad and
steamship company (now a part of
the Southern Pacific) as an engin-
eer in charge of construction work.

Retained as W.

Completing that work he was re-
tained as roadrnsster. receiving euc-
cessive promotions as assistant chief
engineer and gonadal road-mash,
chief engineer and superintendent.
assistant general manager 02 the
Southern“ Tactile lines east of El
Peso. and in 1887 general manager
of that system.

In 1895 his jurisdiction as general
manager was extended over the
entire Southern Pacific wetem. with
headquarters at Sen Francisco. This
position. with additional responsibili—
ties as vice president. and as assist-
ant to the president. was retained
until 1904, when he was moved to
Chicago and was placed in charge
of the operations‘ and meintenence
of the combined Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific properties. with
title of director of maintenance and
operation.

To Test Fat For -

When i t. bubblesas if boiling. it
is really not boiling, but has water
or some other foreign substance in
it; when the bubbling stops. then
water is no longer present. All fat
must be still before any piece of
food is fried in it. for if we test a.
piece of dough in bubbling tat we
see thatllt instantly absorbs fat
and does not take on any color.
while if we wait and drop the dough
in when the fat is still it instantly
becomes brown and does not absorb
fat. An olddashioned test to see if
the fat is hot enough is to drop ’an
inch cube of stale bread into'utill
fat and count the‘seconds before it.
becomes brown.‘ .A better we: is to
use a. deep~iat-fryihx thcmomeur.

. Buildingand Loan.‘

8, GEORUL’. '1. uiJGnr—S‘
. (Copyright. 1925.)

 

 

50 many of my readers have in;
lulu-ed about building and loan as-
sociations and their method ,of open
each that a few words of explana-
tion on this subject seem highly dc‘
sirablc. First then, the objects of a
building and loan association. or a
savings and loan association. as it
is officially termed in some states,
are twotold. Ono of these objects is
the promotion of thrift through reg-
Uler and systematic saving and the
other is to encourage home owner—
ship. .

These associations are strictly reg-
ulated by law and in many states
come under the supervision or‘tho

state banking department. The
money that the members save is
used to make loans on improved

real estate and loans. are extended
to members only. Borrowers are
obliged to pay off their mortgages,
principal as Well as interest. accord-
ing to a regular schedule. At the
lame time a. borrowing member par-
ticipates in the profits of the asso-
ciation. '

The strength or these associations.
halide from the strict supervision un-
der which they operate. lies in the
fact that the loans are made on
property located in the immediate
neighborhood of their home offices
and the value of which the respon-
sible officials of the association are
in a. position accurately to appraise.
The comparatively high earnings
usually accruing to the shares are
due to the low over-head and to the
fact that all the profits belong to the
members. In other words the build-
ing and loan association is a mutual
co~oporatlve institution surrounded
by the sale-guards of law.

This is not. to say that opportuni-
ties for nus-management do not
exist nor that all associations are
equally successful. One should use
the same precautions in selecting a-
bulldlng and loan association which
to join as one uses in picking out a
bank with which to do business. The
record of the building and loan
idea. however. Justifies confidence in
its essential soundness. The first of
these associations was organized in
Philadelphia'in 1831 and now there
are more than 10.000 associations in
the United States with over 7,000.-
000 members and 83.600.000 total
assets. ‘

The Attack on Schwab

(Newark Evening News)
\Vhat single element contributed
most to our successful extort. to

one who went about among the
shipyards in the “ship a day" per-

iod of that amazing accomplish-
ment, were asked, it's ten to one
he'd answer: "Uncle Charlie
Schwabl"

"Uncle Charlie" he was to that.
army of ships-rights we recruited
from the jitncy buses. the machine
shops and the others of the land
and whipped into an organization
that on a certain day. round which
a halo burns in memory, put more
than a. hundred big craft into the
water.

Maybe some of the speeches he
made to the assembled buckles as
he traveled about in those ship—
yards would not do at all in print.
But if they were sprinkled with
cuss words. they were also tired
with the spirit vital to a. world rec-
ord of ship building.

No doubt he told a story now
and then. as he
riveting gang. that wouldn't just fit
mixed company in a drawing room.
But they had a lie-man application
to the lesson he wanted to get
across—that building ships to carry
soldiers to Europe and food and mu-
nitions _to the«soldlexs was fighting,
just as much as trench work "over
there." . «.

He got» the message across and
he put the big Job over the top.
of ships did as
much to end the war two years be»
fore it. was belieicd it could be
ended as anything else. and
.Schwab's phrt in it was not the
smallest part.

Contrast that picture with the
present one of Schwab facing a. for-
mal accusation in a court of law, at
the instance of the government he
served; than; amounts to tho suggec-
.tien thatihe covered’a crooked Job
with the mantle of public service—
that while he was urging patriotism

ors into the company he had built
up. The contrast isn't pleasing: it
isn't convincing unless one's faith in
humanity has. indeed, sunk to a
very low level.

it would be interesting to gather
together a. typical mob of those who
built the emergency fleet. from gen-
eral managers down to rivet boys.
and read to them what the govern-
ment suit asserts Scnwab was do-
ing back in 1918. _

Somehow. from that imagined
mob. one hears a roar that seems to
say: ~ ' .

.One Solemn Thought.
(Baltimore Evening Sun.)

Sex. realism. pornography. sala-
cious plays. crime. governmental
scandals. Flappers _and cowboys.
"necking" and “mugging.“ hip
flasks and cocktail par'ios and Frank
Kent out. in the sticks telling all
about the circulation of smutty mag-
azines. These are a few of the
things that have been talked about
so much as to be generally con’sider-
ed as typical of the times.

As pure as baby's breath. as re-
freshlng as the paleodor of the vio-
let come upon the sordid scene the
words of Mrs. Anthony Wayne
Cooke, generalissimo of the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution.
who addressing the annual conven-
tion. said:

Never before have the people
of America lived under such
boneflcent circumstances. and
with so great promise of the
future .for themselves and the
coming generation.

It is only- an absurdly small -
minority who live and disport
themselves where .the lights are
whitest. These -are the non-
producing wastrels who possess
neither the regard of them-
selves nor of their neighbors. '
”The're‘n'ee'd‘be no fear about '
soda! conditions in our republic
in-these days. The numerous.
the respectable. the hardy and
the free Americans are grow-
ing stronger and stronger in
their course. This country .will
be safe in their hands. That. as
I see it. is the picture. of the
great mass" of American people
today of all classes.

One swallow does not make a sum-
mer nor will hire. Cooke’s pronuncia-
mento upon themresent state of the
nation~ silence those who maintain
that “mugging" is “mugging" and
“necking" is “necking" and that
trem"the"youn¢er' generation ‘ up.
things are in bad __shape. However.
