In quiet, peaceful way" as he
describes 1t. Representative Howard,
Democrat, Nebraska. is conducting a
one-man campaign in the House
against the practice Of congressional
committees meeting in secret session.
He is member of three House
committees and has attended only
one closed session in the present Con
gress. In that instance. he attended
with the understanding that he had
permission to discuss publicly any
thing that took place.
Mr.. Howard comedies that at times
it may be advisable to discuss matters
behind closed doors, but he holds that
afterward the public should be
allowed to know of what took place
He feels that "A. member of Congress.

adds that Hipulito, who Is in jail at

The story is based on an interview

dishes. 1t is preferable to take the
day as unit in planning menus
rather than single meal, for in this
way it Is easier to keep the fuel
standard about the same each day.
Concentrated foods which are most
ly in the protein and fat groups,
should be combined with the starchy
foods. One part protein to three parts
starchy foods is the most common
proportion.
Cheese, highly concentrated food
without waste, when combined with
rice, macaroni or potatoes, makes
good main dish and is highly nourish-
ing.
Sugar in the form Of candy is an
other concentrated food and should
not be eaten on an empty stomach
as it is sufficiently satisfying to spoil
the appetite for meal. Eaten at
the close of meal when we enjoy
little sweet we are not likely to
overeat.
Soups having stimulating proper
ties put the stomach into better con-
dition to digest the food which fol-
lows. A cream soup is best to pre-
cede a light meal. A clear soup which
has little nutrition but is an appe-
tier is good for heavy dinner.
There is no limit to the. variety
which little planning may produce
In the line of cocktails. Leftover fruit
Juice of various kinds, boiled down to
a thick strip, adds favor. Lemon ice,
bits of banana and pineapple with
few grapes for a garnish makes an
especially well-favored one.
The average grown person who is
normal would feel and be much better
to cut down on the food consumed at
least one-third. To spend more time
in masticating the food. so that the
digestive apparatus need not over
work, would be another great ad-
vance In keeping the body fit.
One of the finest breakfast foods
for young and old is the clean whole
wheat right from the granary. Soak
lt overnight, then cook slowly on the
back of the stove for several hours
until the grain bursts and Is surround
ed by the soft jellylike substance,
which indicates that 1t has been well
cooked.
Salads and vegetables should al
ways have place in the dinner and
luncheon menus, and in the spring
and summer are especially impor-
tant o.
Crisp, tender vegetables stimulate
the appetite by their crispness and
tenderness.

John Tobin, who Is playing the part of Shaw O'Neil in "Maytime in Erin," has been connected with amateur dramatics since his high school days, when he was a member of the New Britain High School Dramatic club, and he Is still as en- thusiastio as ever about treading the boards. Several years ago he took the part of the counsel for the defense in 'The Great Umbrella Case" mock trial presented by the Tabs, and the memory of his i'm passioned appeal still lives in the minds of those who heard him. MT. Tobin has been manager of the Cor bin Red sox baseball team for the past five years, and Is well known as a basketball referee.
 As Shaw O'Neil, MT. Tobin does as heavy T bit of acting as has ever been seen in local amateur theatri- calls, giving the comedy drama its only serious touch. He makes his appearance as a fugitive from jus tice. an escaped convict, sentenced for counterfeiting.
 "Maytime in Erin" Is being di- rected by John F. Callahan, whose experience as an actor and director is expected to be reflected in a suc- cessful production.

FANS EXPECT TO GET MORE DISTANCE
DX Enthusiasts Hopeful This
 Winter

Chicago, Dec. 10. Rl-Music of the air, which the summer brought from many corners of the country with an intensity and regularity seldom cqualed in the warm months has opened a winter season that tends to produce unusual distance radio reception.
 After the winter of 1925-26, dur ing which sun spots and aurora borealis kept signals at their mercy, and a summer that started an en- livening process, cold weather now is doing what the unwritten rules call for-providing better reception.
 While no great accomplishment have been made by listeners, they have been enabled to bring in. sta tions which were absent most of the time last winter. In addition, tuning through local transmitters is an easier task for some receivers than it was last winter, when 1t was diff cult even to bring in distant stations on silent nights.
 One fan has an hourly average of as high as 20 stations on Monday nights, when Chicago is silent. Last winter 20 stations in a five hour listening period was the rule rather than the exception.
 Quality of the signals also has taken leap forward, and loud speaker operation on other local stations is increasing. The improved atmospheric conditions also have lowered the amount of static in comparison with last season.
 A difficulty not previously so pronounced has been encountered with the better conditions. That is the inter- station interference which is making iself more and more both ersome with the growth in the number of transmitters.

Miss Mary Lewis opera star, who sings her. on December 1s at the Capitol theater under the Musical club auspices, admits that perhaps she is the luckiest girl in the world. But she is tired of being always re- ferred to as ''the ex-Follies girl.'
 The singer says that, while she thought she had been favored by marvellous luck throughout her career. she felt that she was under a handicap because the title of lex Follies girl' had been pinned on her so firmly.

The thrill of winning a Fol lies audience could not be compar- ed to that of captivating Metro politan one Stardom at the Metro politan was a wonderful thing.
