A national magazine mentions at least one Californian, Clifford Clinton of Los Angeles, who will utilize the new process fo speed production and eliminate waste in his restaurant chain. Among our pioneer ancestors, a man with a wife who couldnt cook was in'very unfortunate if not dangerous circumstances: So is such a man today, unless he can eat out or hire a cook: But it looks as though the day is almost at hand when the ability to set good table will depend on one’s grocer in Bpenos Aires, Cadiz or Bombay.

Recent historic developments demonstrate that in this determination they have the aid and support of Democrats now in revolt against playing the role of being rubber stamps to the executive branch of the government. Republican party leaders, furthermore, have a_ positive and constructive program as they make progress inre-establishing the prestige of congress as a coordinate branch of the government. In a Lincoln Day address Congressman Joseph W. Martin of Massachusetts, able leader of the Republican minority in the House of Representatives, outlined the following Republican objectives: (1) Winning the war; (2) Defénd the Constitution; (3) Eliminate waste and. extravagance in expenditures; (4) Simplification of tax returns; (5) Tax reform based on capacity to pay; (6) Plan for return of men and women from fighting fronts to real jobs—not doles or handouts; (7) Care: for disabled veterans, rehabilitation for the maimed and restoration of lost educational opportunties; (8) Maintenance of private enterprise; (9) Return of power from bureaucrats to the people; (10): Guard against increasing regimentation; (11) Better care of aged; (12) End of class prejudices. and preferences and cleavage to American ideals and American institutions.—Contributed. SPEAKING OF BILLIONS In these days of billions, instead of millions, how many -of us really appreciate just how much a billion dollars is? To the average person it’s just an awful lot of money. Statisticians have figured out, however, that if a person born at the time of Christ had been given a billion dollars to spend at the rate of $1,000 a day and could live until his {money was gone, he would still have about 800 years to go: By now he would just about. have finished spending his first seven hundred million dollars! Read that last paragraph again; then reflect soberly on this astounding fact: During 1943 federal expenditures totaltley 88 billion dollars, or approximately 241 million dollars every 24 hours. Do you envy the members of the appropriation commitI who are now holding hearings on the one hundred billion dollar federal budget for the next fiscal year? —Contributed.

The oldest private house in San Francisco, at Chestnut and Hyde streets, was built in 1852 entirely of materials brought around the Horn while the oldest building in the city is the Officers’ Club at the Presidio—Commandante Jose Joaquin Moraga’s headquarters in 1776. San Francisco’s first name—yYerba Buena—came from, the aromatic vine, mistakenly called wild mint, which grew in the underbrush of the sand -wastes around the bay. FOR DAIRYMEN .
