Some important points on making
croquettes successfully are: Mold
them long enough in advance for the
egg coating to set. For frying, have
plenty of mild-favored deep fat, and
a frying kettle with basket. Heat
the fat to just the right temperature
and do not let it smoke. Fry only
two or three croquettes at time, and
watch them constantly. AS soon as
they are golden brown, remove them
from the fat, and drain on absorbent
paper so they will not be greasy. The

Table Salt Substitute
for Ailinp Is Discovered

Atlantic City, N. J.-Dr. John G.
Krantz, Jr., chemist and lecturer at
Johns Hopkins hospital, announced at
joint meeting of the state boards of
pharmacy and delegates from the fac
ulties of colleges of pharmacy Of the
East, the discovery Of Eka salt, sub
stitute for table salt for the use of
those afflicted with high blood pres
sure, Bright's disease and dropsy.
Eka salt is sodium salt of malic
acid. Malic acid is obtained from ap-
pies. 1t satisfies the craving for SALT
according to Doctor Krantz, and Its
reaction in the body Is quite different
from that of common salt.
"The ordinary table SALT" he said,
"tends to create water in the body.
The new sodium salt of the acid is
burned up or metabolized in the body
and serves as an akall-producing food
and tends to counteract acidosis. Be-
cause it Is burned up or metabolized,
It does not tax the Kidneys"

TEXTILES USED
FOR MEMS WEAR
No Change in Fibers Used
for All Garments.

While fashion dictates shorter or
longer skirts or sleeves, slender or
draped silhouettes for women, men ap-
parently adhere more or less constant
ly to the same sorts of suits, over
coats, and other garments that they
have worn for half century. Even
in the textile fibers used for their
clothing men change very little, APP
parently, in comparison with very no.
ticeable changes that are taking place
in the materials women prefer at the
present time.
Colorful underwear, 1t is true, may
catch the fancy of the youthful male
but it is generally made of the same
textile fiber, chiefly cotton, that he
has worn since childhood. In socks
only is there any real departure from
tradition in mems clothing; silk and
rayon socks are replacing to some ex,
tent the cotton or wool socks in their
everyday wearing apparel.
In the course of study of the tex
tile fibers being used in the home in
1927, as compared with 1922, recently
completed by the bureau Of home eco
nomics of the United States Depart.
ment of Agriculture, information was
received from 675 men. Almost with
out exception all reported no change
in textile fbers used in their suits, ex-
ira trousers, work shirts, dress or Of.
fee shirts, and nightshirts and pa.
jamas during this 5-year period. Fol
such garments as union suits, under
shirts and drawers, and bath robes the
men reported either no change in tex
tile fiber or no use of that particu
ar garment. However, 454 men, using
more silk and rayon socks in 1927
than in 1922, gave reasons for max
ing this change. About IS per cent
Of these reasons came under "style,
meaning more appropriate, more at.
tractive, or less bulky; % per cent
said comfort" meaning more comfort.

CEORGIANS ENACT
OLD GOLD RUSH
See Conquest for Yellow Metal
in Hills.

Dahlonega, Ga.-They are digging
for gold again In the hills around
Dahlonega, scene Of famous rush
early in the Nineteenth century.
Men are swinging picks and shovels,
searching for the metal that lured
5000 fortune seekers, frenzied miners,
over rugged mountain paths to this
town, sixteen miles from railroad,
when news of the big strike In 1929
went around the world.
Gold mining around Dahlonega has
been tagging since the World war,
when increased wages and operating
costs cut into the profits. q
The Civil war resulted in the shut
ting down here of branch of the
United States mint in 1861, after it
had coined 1,391,7S4 pieces, valued at
Sc, lis, 500, in Its twenty-four years of
operation. D. s. w. McCallie, state
geologist, says while the coinage of
the mint was only slightly above &c.
100000, that the mountains around
Dahlonega have produced at least $10,-
100000 in gold. The mint was not
established here until 1888, about ten
years after the first gold was found.
Two companies, operating ten or
more mines, have started operations
here on a modest scale. There is
nothing of frenzy about Dahlonega's
gold digging this time. Doctor Nc
Callie says he believes the mines can
be made to pay If the work is carried
on by trained biologists and mining
engineers. He calls attention to the
fact that the profits from the Dab
lonega gold mines had greatly dwin-
died when the first gold was found
in California in 1848.
Dahlonega residents do not antici-
pate new gold rush. William Ben
jamin Franklin Townsend, quaint old
editor of the towns weekly newspaper,
The Nugget, says he believes there is
gold in the mountains IF you know
where and how to find It,"
When the government abandoned
the Dahlonega mint the buildings and
grounds were given to the state for
the North Georgia Agricultural col
lege. A number Of buildings, reminis-
cent of gold-mining boom days, still
stand.

BELGIAN ORPHAN TO
GET u. S. CITIZENSHIP
Wins Out in Long Struggle
to Become Yankee.

Nashville, Tenn.-This is another
story about man without country
but this one will end happily.
Back in 1914, when the German
armies struck at France through Bel
GUM, a Belgian soldier was killed by
the invaders and his family scattered.
The soldiers son, Albert, then aged
nine, found himself suddenly an
orphan, fleeing with other refugees
into France.
Through the first three years of the
war, Albert lived as waif behind
the allied lines, picking up food where
he could, and sleeping any place
where a shell was not likely to strike.
Then In. 1918 came the Americans
to aid the French and English and
Albert's stricken countrymen.
The boy liked the new soldiers, par
ticularly the Fifth regiment of ma
rines. So he followed the Fifth
through the final victorious days Of
the war, as mascot.
BefrIended by Sergeant.
With the marines was Sergeant Ted
Vaughan of Nashville, who befriend-
ed the waif, and soon became the
boys idol. Albert's detectives in life
narrowed down to three: To lick the
Germans, to be near Vaughan, and to
become an American, like the soldiers
of the Fifth.
Then came the armistice, and the
first of Albert's desires was attained.
But after the armistice 1t was time
for Vaughan to embark with the ma
rines for America.
Albert-by this time known as AL
bert Vaughan-clamored to be taken
to America with his protector. But
army regulations forbade taking the
boy on board the transport ship, SO
Vaughan paid French woman In
Brest to keep the lad until money
could be sent to bring him to Amer
lea.
One day Albert disappeared. A
week later Vaughan, in Nashville, re-
ceived q wire from sailor on an
American freighter saying that Albert
had slowed away aboard the ship,
and had landed at Norfolk, Va.
Albert was brought to the Vaughan
home here and became to all outward
appearances Vaughaa's adopted son.
He attended American schools, and
learned to speak the American tongue
with but trace of accent.
But, for reasons inexpicable to
him. the American government would
not allow him to become n citizen.
1t also refused to let Sergeant
Vaughan adopt the boy.
Falls In Love.
From 1919 to 1923 Albert, and his
foster father tried every means to
secure citizenship for him. The boy
grew to be young man, with his
status Still in doubt, and no legal
means of making him an American
available.
Then the inevitable happened. AL
bert, now twenty-one years old, fel
in love-with an American girl. They
were married.
Albert went again tn the American
government. He had everything now
that goes to make an American, he
told the officials, excepting citizenship
papers.
The government pondered. Well,
it finally agreed, If Albert were to
leave the country, and his American
wife were to ask the government to
make her husband an American too
then maybe
And so 1t is to be DONE Albert
will 60 outside the boundaries of the
United States. His wife will petit
ton the government, and after ten
years Of waiting and hoping, the Bel
gian war orphan will become citl
zen Of the United States.
