BRAN SWEETS
FILL NEW NEED
Of THE DIET
New Preparations Furnish
Roughage and Are Rich in
the Necessary VitaminS

Today the average diet is likely
to be lacking in coarse foods We
eat bread made from boiled flour;
we eat vegetables so young and
tender that they have not devel-
oped enough cellulose to furnish
the required amount of rough
age; we strain our soups and eat
foods which require little or no
chewing.
What is the result? We are
becoming addicted to medicine
rather than trouble to use our
teeth for chewing. 1t is not only
that we need coarse food for reg
ulating the body processes, but
the very fact of chewing brings
the blood to the teeth and keeps
them healthy.
ScOrned Foods
The science of nutrition is
teaching us the value of some
of the scorned foods. For the
sake of their teeth, give the chill
dren whole grain cereals which
require chewing. Serve them veg
etables such as celery, spinach
and cabbage. Use bran as a
cereal and in recipes.
The old-fashioned bran, which
was decidedly unpalatable, has
been superseded by an appetizing
product which has been cooked,
crumbled and toasted. This is
an excellent protective food. It
furnishes roughage and is rich
in the minerals which many times
our menus are prone to neglect.
Here are some bran sweets
which suggest pleasant ways of
using this healthful food:
Bran Fudge Squares
4 squares unsweetened choco-
late.
1-3 cup butter or other shorten
ing.
2 eggs.
/ cup sugar.
u cup sifted flour.
p cup bran.
y cup chopped nut meats,
teaspoon vanilla.
Melt chocolate over hot water
and add shortening to it. Beat
eggs until light, add sugar and
beat we'll together. Add melted
shortening and chocolate. Stir in
the flour. bran, nuts and vanilla
Pour into well-greased pan. max
ing a layer about one-third inch
thick. Bake in a moderate oven
$3.50 degrees F. for about 20
minutes. Make Is pieces about
two inches square.
Bran Brittle
2 cups granulated sugar.
l cup brown sugar.
p cup light corn syrup.
l cup water.
"a cup butter.
Is teaspoon salt.
~ cups bran.
Put the sugars corn syrup and
water into a saucepan and cook
stirring until the sugar is dis
solved. Continue cooking with
out stirring, until the tempera-
ture of 800 degrees F.. is reached
(when tried in cold water the
mixture will be very brittle.O
Remove from fire, add salt and
butter and stir only enough to
mix well. Add bran and turn
at once on to creased slab or on
creased inverted pan or baking
sheet. Smooth out with a spa
tula. After about half a minute
take hold of the edges of the
candy and, lifting it slightly
from the slab or pan, pull it as
thin as possible. Break into ir-
regular pieces.

 Action started at a meeting there in 1911 was a big factor in the passage of the Weeks law, which has resulted in appropria- tions of more than $21 100000 for the purchase and maintenance of national forests and tn increase of eastern national forests to 100000 acres The association believes this program has been outgrown, and that a larger one is needed.

SESSION DENIAL
CAUSES STIR

President Hoover's determine
ton not to call a special session
of the new Congress was both
hailed and condemned today.
Conservative elements of both
parties generally supported Mr..
Hoover's decision.
It was disappointing to the pro-
greSsive insurgents, who have
been insistent that Congress
should be called to deal with
the unemployment situation. It
was equally disappointing to the
church organizations and peace
societies that have been agitating
for a special session to put the
United States into the League
Court.
Mr.. Hoover disposed of the
Insurgents plea in one sent
ence: 1--WE cannot legislate our
selves out of a world economic
depression"
He made no similar direct re-
ioinder to the church organiza-
tions, that have been lombard
ing the White House with
memorials and petitions, but he
made it plain that his decision
not to summon special session
was directed as much at. them as
at the insurgents.

RENO, Nevada, May 23.-Lady
June Inverclyde known in
musicalcomedy as June" will
charge her husband, Lord 1nver-
clyde, of Scotland, with extreme
cruelty in a divorce action she
will file here shortly.
She made this revelation to-
day in an exclusive interview,
the first she has granted since
arriving in Reno.
The action will be filed under
the name of Inverclyde and not
under the name of Burns, under
which the internationally known
dancer has been registered in
Reno. Lady Inverclyde said:
81 used that name merely
for the purpose of avoiding
undue publicity when I first
came here.
"The silence action brought
by my husband in Edinburgh
was based upon claims that /
had made nbeIOus statements
against him. This means moth
ing, as will be shown when
the action is filed.

Wheat Conference in London
Votes to Study Proposal;
Action Comes As a Surprise

LONDON, May % GN.S)-
An eleventh hour victory for the
United States in its suggested
method Of alleviating the world
crisis arising from surplus wheat
crops was recorded at the adjourn
ment Of the international wheat
conference here today.
A standing committee was
appointed to consider, among
other things, the curtaiIment Of
productive areas, the means
suggested by Samuel II. Mo
Kelvie, chief American delegate,
as a solution to the problem.
Action Proves Surprise
According to a communique
issued after the adjournment,
members Of the committee will
consider where it is possible to
reduce the area Of production,
and where it should be under
taken"
Inclusion Of this point in the
recommendations caused some
surprise, as McKelvie's proposals
we're vigorously condemned by
the Soviet Russian delegates and
aroused little enthusiasm among
representatives from the Balkan
countries.
The standing committee will
have two chief ObjectiveS. One
will be to Establish a permanent
clearing house of information"
for wheat growers throughout the
world. The second will be prep
aratiOn of a draft agenda for fu-
ture conferences.
Another Meeting Planned
Members Of the committee will
be chosen by the respective gov
ernments and proceed immedi'
ately with plans for another in
ternational meeting.
The committee, according to
the communique, also will give
particular attention to the follow.
ing:
/. Examination Of the general
depression throughout the world.
2. The fact that more wheat is
being produced than can be sold
profitably.
8. The requirements Of the va
rious wheat-importing countries.
4. The state of the wheat
market throughout the world.

HIS PETITION
To OBEF|LED
MAY 28
If the Case Goes Over Summer
Convicted Official will Ask
Court to Stay Jail Sentence

The Supreme Court may be
asked to take extraordinary action
to dispose of the petition Of ex-
Secretary Of the Interior Albert
b. Fall for review Of his con-
viction for bribery before the
court adjourns for the summer
on June 1, it was learned today.
The petition Of Fall, under SEN
tence Of a years Imprisonment
and 100000 fine on a charge Of
taking a 100000 bribe from Ed.
ward L. Doheny in the "oil scan-
dal' leases, will be filed May %.
The court previously had an
nounced that petitions for review
filed after May 25 would not be
considered during the present
term of court.
Can Appeal to Hoover
If the court denies Falls peti-
dion, he can still seek clemency
from President Hoover. If the
petition is granted, the case will
be argued, because of the courts
policy Of advancing criminal cases.
1t is expected that, in any event,
a final decision would be handed
down by next December 1.
Should the case go over the
summer, Fall will be compelled
to seek a further stay of exacu-
tion from the Circuit or Supreme
Court to avoid going to jail.
Blackmer Case to Arise
The appeal of Harry M. Black
mer, fined 100000 for contempt
of District Supreme Court, also
will be filed in the high court.
This appeal probably will not
be presented until after the court
adjourns, and thus will not be
disposed of before October.
