BY WIN. K. HUTCHINSON
international News service

Senator William E. Borah,
q staunch supporter of Presl-
dent Hoover in the last cam
paign, announced today he
would lead drive to incOr-
porate the export debenture
plan of farm relief in the new
tariff bill.
The Senate having twice adopted
the debenture as a rider" on the
new farm bill over President Hoov'
er's opposition, the Borah announce
ment will solidify the ranks of the
coalition for
another agriculture battle in con-
nection with the tariff.
Approve Norris Plan
Members of the insurgent block
already. have declared their inten-
ton of fighting for adoption OF the
new Norris debenture plan as q
part of the tariff bill. The Norris
plan, differing slightly from the old
one. would provide for the payment
Of all debentures on exported surplus
crops to the new Federal Farm
Board for use in paying the cost OF
operating stabilization corporations.
The battle lines were drawn dis
1inctIy. when Senator Reed smoot
OlJ Of Utah, veteran chairman OF
the Senate Finance Committee, an:
nounced he would oppose all efforts
to attach the debenture to the tariff
bill. Smoot echoed Mr.. Hoover's
plea that the bounty plan is certain
70 wreak hardship on the American
neople, increase tax burdens and
fail a. a relief measure to farmers.
The Senate Finance Committee
meanwhile continued IT'S public hear
iSRs on rate schedules with sub
committee handling agricultural
products the busiest. The comnait-
tee will conclude its rate hearings
by July 10, with another two weeks
Tor hearings OH JHO <AuAHAhAoNA@ANS
features and the free list.
Will Redraft Bill
After that, it probably will re-
quire from three to four weeks for
the committee to redraft the bill.
Present indications are that it may
not be ready for the Senate when
that body reconvenes August 1S,
after a two-months' vacation.
Borah, in declaring he would again
support the debenture, said he had
not studied the Norris plan, and
therefore would not commit himself
to that particular provision. He
said he would support the deben-
ture, though, as a certain means of
giving agriculture its fair share Of
the protective tariff.
THE American farmer does not
desire to tear down the protective
tariff system" said Borah. He has
been about the most faithful advo-
cate, considering the meager bene-
fits he has received, that it has had
in it's long history. But he has a
ing under the debenture and when
he seeks sufficient duties to protect
the home market is that he may
share the protective system which
now obtains in the United States.
'Those who are advocating the
debenture are advocating it as part
of a just system of protection and
az a part and parcel of that system.
They are advocating it in no sense
as gratuity. or favor, or gift"

Cooking Vegetables,

Use just enough water to cover the
vegetables. Do not waste the vegetable
water, but serve it with the vegetables
or save it for soups or GRAVES. It is
better to steam vegetables, particularly
the green or leafy ones, to prevent loss
of minerals. Cook strongly favored
vegetables without the cover on, so that
the volatile substance may pass of.
Peas and carrots should also be cooked
without the cover, since they keep their
color better. Vegetables should be
cooked until tender, but no longer.
Overlooked, soggy vegetables are not
only apt to be unpalatable and difficult
to digest. but the vitamins, particularly
vitamin C. are apt to be destroyed.
Suggestive Vegetable Cream Soups
Combine equal parts of corn and to-
matoeS, or beans and tomatoes, or car
rotS, celery and onions, or corn and
oysters, or corn and salmon, or spinach,
carrot and celery.

Sugars and starches) in the body, and
the reason the injections of prepared
tnsulin are so helpful in diabetes Is that
it supplies what the patients own pam
creas is failing to supply. The insulin
that is manufactured by pharmaceuti-
cal houses Is made from certain por-
tons of animal pancreas Of cattle and
hogs.
Insulin was discovered by Dr. Banting
and his associates of the University of
Toronto in 1921, through work which
was carried out on dogs. DR.. Banting
received the Nobel prize in medicine for
this discovery. 1t has saved thousands
Of lives. 1t Is not claimed to be cure
for diabetes, but through its use pa
tients can have a much more varied
diet and in this way the general health
Is greatly improved.
You know, don't you that diabetes is
extremely common in the overweight?
Yes, 80 per cent of the diabetes have
been overweight before the pancreas
goes on strike. They get thin enough
after they get diabetes!

GIRLS IN THEIR TEENS WILL AP-

IN RED VELVET.
women seems somber, old, sophisticated;
inappropriate to youth. And yet there
are young girls who never look more
charming, more appealing or more de-
nure than in simply-made, carefully
selected black evening dress. This is
especially true Of the girl who is blessed
with radiant coloring. For the dark
haired young girl whose complexion is
pale or Sallow and who is rather too
slender, some one of the new evening
colorS is better selection.
The black evening dress for the
younger girl should be of simple design,
and the effect should not be marreds by
an abundance of jewelry. A necklace
OF small pearls is quite enough, and
even this may be omitted. The effect
becomes too sophisticated when ear
rings and bracelets are added The
simplest sort Of silk slippers, worn with
deSh-colored or sheer gun metal stock
ings, should be chosen.
