HOOVER RENEWS
RELIEF PLEA

Discussing the unemployment
situation today, President Hoover
said that he had requested
Chairman Thomas Campbell Of
the Civil Service Commission to
get in touch with the various
Government departments and
have them consider plans whereby
Federal employees could make
contributions to the unemploy-
ment cause.
The plan in view contemplates
voluntary, direct money contri-
buttons. An employe under this
arrangement could voluntarily
contribute a days wages or more
to the jobless cause.
Referring to the shortening of
working hours in the Govern
rent for the purpose Of giving
employment to those out Of work,
President Hoover said that such
staggering Of hours would not be
permitted under the civil service
law which requires an eight
hour working day.

HOW TO KEEP WELL
BY

Bananas and cabbage are fine for
the two-year old says recent bulletin
from the U. S. Government Bureau of
Home Economics.
This bulletin is quoted by pediatric-
ians of the Minnesota State Medical
Association today to emphasize the
great changes that have come about in
the feeding of small children.
Not so long ago, both bananas and
cabbage were taboo until Johnnie had
cached the maturity of five or six and
even then they were regarded with un-
easy suspicion. There were experts,
also, who declared soberly that it was
just as well to make haste slowly in
the feeding of tomatoes. Tomatoes
were accordingly withheld, until Baby
was baby no longer.
Nowadays" say the Medical Associ-
alton experts, the pediatrician knows
almost no Dangerous Vegetables.
Long before the normal baby is a year
old he has had his well served vege-
tables of all sorts, including tomatoes,
The juice of tomatoes is likely to have
been alternated with his daily orange
juice for many months. When he is
two years old he is not only permitted
but encouraged to eat nearly every
thing that father and mother eat pro-
vided it is simple and wholesomely
cooked. Bananas, far from being
taboo, are regarded as an easily di-
gested, highly desirable food, if they
are well ripened. Cabbage stands
equally high in medical good graces
either chopped raw to be served in
sandwiches, for instance, or cooked
tender and creamed. Thus has the
modern science of nutrition turned It's
back upon the superctitions and ore
JUDGES of generation ago.
The economic Importance of this
change of attitude toward the diet Of
small children is stressed in today's
medical bulletin because, beside its
nutritional value, it materially cuts
down food budget expenses.
A diet list appropriate for family
of three including mother, father and
child of two as prepared by the Home
Economics Bureau is quoted and
heartily endorsed by the Association
doctors in this bulletin. 1t provides
all of the essential food elements for
every member of the family, and at an
expense estimated by the government
experts at no more than $50 week.
Following is the list of things that
should appear on the table each day
for this imaginary family.
Milk and bread for all.
Cereal in porridge or pudding.
Potatoes.
Tomatoes or oranges (for the child
green or yellow vegetable.

to assume that the actual loss was not
more than half of the amount involved
when the banks closed.
On Sept. l, 1929, the high point of
the market, the value of listed stocks
on the New York exchange was in ex-
cess of 80 billion dollars and listed
bonds in excess of 40 billion dollars.
The value of listed stocks on the New
York exchange Jan. 1, 1881, was about
40 billion, and bonds AZ billion. In the
period between Sept. l, 1929, and Jan.
1, 1881, owners of stocks lost $40 648,-
398.395 and bond owners lost 81 $685.
952,709, total of approximately AZ
billion dollars. This represents the loss
ON the New York exchange alone, and
there are other exchanges in every
principal city of the nation in which
the losses are proportionate. 1t re-
presents the loss to the investors in
listed stocks and bonds only, and does
not consider loses in curb trading The
figures for New York cannot oe more
than hall of the total, on which con-
sentative estimate would be 100 billion
for the nation in less than year and
a half.
Compare that with the total of two
billion tied up in closed banks in 10
years, part of this repaid in liquidation,
and ask yourself which is the safer
place for your money
Banks, like other business institu-
tons are operated for profit to their
owners. At the same time they per-
form an important function in the
whole business structure of the conf
munity. Every other business and
nearly every person proceeds at dis
advantage without them. ~

SAFETY FOR MONEY.

An abnormal number Of bank fall-
ules that have occurred in this country
Il. ing the past ten years has tended
to lessen public confidence in the bank
as a safe place in which to keep surplus
funds. There is reason to believe that
the amount of money involved in bank
losses has been over estimated and
that the public depreciation OF con-
fidnnce in banks is unjustified.
The fact is that while some banks
have failed and some losses to de-
poSitors have occurred, public criticism
of banks has been out of proportion to
the losses Much greater losses have
resulted in other financial fields with
little or no i'll effect. The bank losses
have been over-advertised, exaggerated
and deplored while other losses have
been accepted as a matter of cou.Se.
Consider for example, the losses in
stocks and bonds.
First, it might be well to recall that
the decreased confidence in banks has
caused numerous persons to seek other
places in which to put their money
A great many so-called financial ex-
pertS have advised investments in
stocks and bonds as preferable to GER
tificates of deposit. Stock and bond
statesmen have always been quick to
take advantage of any suspicion OF
banking safety and to urge their wares
in preference. The result has been
that out of every community largs
amount of money has gone for the
purchase of industrial stocks and
bonds The word gone" is used adj
visedly for much of it has never CONS
back.
Now, comparison. During the 1C
year period preceding Jan. LIST bank
failures in the nation tied up a total
of approximately two billion dollars
AS liquidation proceeded some of this
was released to the depositors; in
some cases banks paid out 100 per cent
and in some cases there was a total
loss, but it would seem conservative

niuue for cartooning. For, after all,
technique is only a part Of the car
looming. Much more important Is
what the artist puts into his cartoons
and by that criterion "Ket" takes his
place among the leaders. Working
under the handicap of being barred
from covering politics or controversial
subjects, because his work goes into
newspapers as varied in their political
Affiliations as they are in other al
legiances, he still turns out cartoons
which are forceful and attention-com-
peliing commentaries on current
American affairs. And they're espec-
tally effective because they're good
natmed comments on the fads ano
loibles OF humankind. Trere's no sting
of bitterness in "Ket's" manner OF
driving home his point and there's
nothing in it that will hurt anyoodyS
leslings or offend good taste.

DID YOU EVER STOP
To THINK?
Edison r. Waite, Shawnee, Okla0

That a temporary shack can be
thrown together anyhow and anywhere,
but when a man sets out to put up
skyscraper he sinks his foundations
down to bed rock. The taller the
structure is to be and the longer its
life expe Clancy, the more important 1t
is that its framework should be fast
ened fast to something substantial and
permanent.
In a sense, the same principle ap-
plies to the building of community.
The enterprises that are floated on
wave of hot air, in furry Of fictitious
values, are seldom able to stand the
shock when fictions shake down to
facts and the wave flattens into the
doldrums of business depression.
On all sides one finds encouraging
evidence that business in America
scraped the bottom along about the
first of the year and that the upturn
is beginning to commence.
Now is the time of all others when
the alert business man and the pro-
gressive community can best build for
the future Prices are down. There
is available plenty of competent labor,
SO eager for employment that it will
give generous dollars worth TO every
wage dollar. These are bargain days
for actual construction of new build
ings, the widening of streets, the erec-
ton of needed bridges, the equipment

Other things that should appear
from two to four times week are:
Tomatoes for ALL
Dried beans, peas or peanuts for all.
Eggs, especially for the child
Lean meat, fish, poultry or cheese.
1t used to be the fashion to cham
pion dirt.
Just little honest dirt" chirruped
the sentimental romancers.
"A little healthy dirt never hurt a
boy" said the genial patron of child
hood in the popular boys magazines.
Insofar as these hearty sentiments
hoped to promote ruggedness and am
bition they were alright according to
this weeks bulletin from the Mime
sofa State Medical Association.
Insofar as they condoned and even
recommended dirty hands or dirty
faces, these advisors of youth were on
dangerous ground" say the doctors.
I'VE know now that no amount of
ruggedness or ambition will avail to
protect a small boy from danger of
germ infections if he cultivates dirty
hands"
An interesting experiment, by pair
of American laboratory Investigators,
is cited in this bulletin as offering an
important new argument for clean
hands. sThese men washed patches of
skin very clean and then deposited on
the washed patches, some virulent
germs, streptococci, germs of serious
skin infections of intestinal and res
piratory diseases. Within a short time
these dangerous germs just curled up
and died without the aid of any germ
icide or disinfectant.
On the other hand they let other
patches go unwaShed allowed normal
grease and dirt to accumulate. Here
the same germs thrived and flourished
hours, all ready at hand to be trans
ported to the mouth perhaps, or to an
open wound where they could multiply
and cause serious damage.
The conclusion the investigators
drew from this experiment is that the
skin actually possesses some definite
germ destroying power of it's own when
it is clean.
Dirt, on the other hand, not merely
prevents the skin from exercising its
germicidal powers but provides a med
ium for germs to live in while they
wait their chance to make trouble.
There is no virtue in dirty hands
tn: association experts conclude, mot
even for the hardest boy. Frequent,
thorough washing, at any age, is one
of the best as well as the simplest
