Mushroom Season at Hand and Possible Danger in Eating Those Taken From Fields- and Roadsides Cited. JOHN A. CHILOS TO SERVE UNTIL 1914 This Was the Announcement of Postmaster-General in Washington Recently, THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1!»13. SHARE THE LIMELIGHT. One of the many complaints which are made against the activities of the | ]og8 of il((. „,,„ legislative vice commission Is that the men who constitute that body, in an Inordinate desire for publicity, spend considerable valuable time and no lit- H assured. tie money in investigating conditions which have already been paid that delicate attention, statistics concern- ing which, compiled by reliable per- sons or organizations, are available. Now comes the startling announce- ment that our vice commission has discovered the heinous practice that exists In many of the maternity hos- pitals of Chicago by which helpless babes are disposed of, presumably by adoption, but with no evidence to show by whom, whose unfortunate girl mothers are forced, In one way or an- other, to resign all claim to their off- spring on entering the so-called hos- pital. Such a condition cannot ,be too strongly condemned and rightly comes under the jurisdiction of such a body as our senatorial vice commission. The quarrel lies, not with their effort to arouse the public indignation and horror at such traffic In infant life, but in their methods of obtaining their information. la this particular Instance most complete investigation has already ^ been made by the Juvenile Protective agency of Chicago and the results compiled by Mr. Howabd Moobe in a printed pamphlet. Much valuable time might be saved the gentlemen on the Vice committee, could they see their :Way clear to consult and work in con- junction with those other agencies proceeding along the same Ine of investigation. The career of the commission might be somewhat lew spectacular, hut it could scarcely fail to be much .more beneficial. - JK JK ?& ON BLUM MI NO.

A board of censorship for moving pictures is being planned by Chicago which shall pass judgment upon films exhibited in the cheap theaters of the city. The action Is taken partly as a protest against the disposition of an over-officious and not too capable police officer to sit in Judgment of art as it is displayed to the Chicago public and partly as a means of accomplishing a desirable reform. Such a board, should its organiza- tion become a reality, will be com- posed of some two or three score men and women, who by education and general culture are considered rather more competent to distinguish the fit from the unfit in art than the chance policeman whose attention is caught by something which he may not understand, while at the same time be misses what might well be re- marked by him. Whatever the reason which prompts the action, the result is bound to be a good one. Such a board will find plenty of material upon which to be- stow its attention. * * * THE RICH YOU NO MAN. Not long ago the world was moved te remark the pity of the untimely d"eatlT~of the' young Mr. Bobden, who had elected to devote his time, energy and fortune to the furtherance of the mission work in the Orient. A little later came the announcement that Rev. Ebnest C. Wkiui, a young mil- lionaire of Kansas City, Me., would dedicate his talents to the up- lifting of the poor In bis community. A few days ago the papers conveyed the information to the public that a New York philanthropist would give land valued at $3,000,000 to be used as public playgrounds for the city's poor. , It Is an unusual demonstration of the belief that is gaining ground more and more that the having of "great possessions" Involves an obligation to the poorer brother, and shows a little progress, at least, since the "rich young man" went "strrowful away* following the Master's injunction to sell his possessions and give unto the poor. ft ?S * WHOM WILL IT BENEFITt The experimental stage of co-Oper- atlve delivery may be said to hare passed and the venture proved to be a success in those communities in which the trial has been made. The idea is based oh sound common sense and has the advantage of serving the best interests of everybody concerned, oven to the horses which draw the dis- tributing wagonB. The feasibility of the system has been demonstrated and its desirability is clearly seen. The question to be settled now is, who is to profit by the saving effected by the simplified dis- Within a few days the annual gath- ering of mushrooms from country roadsides and meadows will begin, pulmotor were available, action j The recent rftlng fo„owed by warm should bo be«un and no lull permitted weather and the sunshine, will causo until tin; possession of the appliance the fungus growths to spring up rap- ' Idly and, as usual, there will be sev- eral cases of poisoning. While there are several varieties that may cause some degree of diges- tive disturbances and there are kinds that one person may cat with perfect safety, while another would be made 111, there is one variety the eating of which Is absolutely certain to cause death. No Antidote. There is no antidote once the vic- tim has swallowed one of the deadly Amanitas group, some of which are to be found In Illinois. While no hard and fast rules can be used to distin- guish other varieties that are nonedi- ble, the Amanitas, like the rattlesnake, advertises itself as follows: It has "white gills." It has a ring on the stem just be- neath the cap. It has a cup, or scales, at the base of the stem. A mushroom that bears these marks should never be gathered. Lovers of the mushroom are warned against placing reliance in poison tests when in doubt about the variety of a growth. The only safe way is to leave the ' sus- picions fungus strictly alone. The pois- on tests are worthless. The Idea that poisonous mushrooms can be rendered harmless by boiling and then wash- ing thoroughly in cold water is er- roneous. Can Familiarize Himself. The mushroom gatherer can easily familiarize himself with the few edi- ble varieties growing in public parks, door yards and- on the outskirts of the city All varieties having black gills and which dissolve with age into an inky mass can be eaten with safety. They, of course, must be eaten before turn- ing black, but usually growths in sev- eral stages ot ripening will be found in a patch, so that identification will be comparatively easy. Among the black gill species ate the "shaggy mane" with a more or less bell shaped creamy white cap, growing in dense clusters. They are common from the spring until fall and are among the best edible varieties. All puff balls are edible if eaten when the flesh is white and solid. John A. Guilds will serve as pott- master in Evanston until some time In June, 1914, according to a ruling made by Postmaster-General Burleson and announced from department head- quarters. This means that George Taylor, a popular Davis street merchant, who was slated to succeed Mr. Childs as the first Democratic postmaster in Ev- anston for many years, will not take office until that time. This ruling made by the postmaster- general, to the effoct that all Repub- lican postmasters now In office will be permitted to serve to the end of their terms, is conditioned only upon there being no charges against the efficiency of the incumbent. The fact that Evanston'g postofflce has long been known as one of the most effi- ciently managed in or about Chicago. Is proof that Mr. Childs will not bo disturbed at this time. Postmaster-General Burleson Is quoted as follows: "My department will be run on busi- ness lines, and not by politics," said Mr. Burleson in explaining the new policy. He declared that there might be some removals, but he believed that the majority of the postmasters were efficient and w^>uld not be disturbed. "There will have to be specific charges of inefficiency, however," he announced, "before anyone will be re- moved." Mr. Burleson said the decision had been reached after conference with President Wilson, who favors the merit system. At present a plan is being worked out for securing efficiency under the civil service, fourth-class postmasters having been placed under that juris- diction on an executive order by Mr. TafL George W.
