 Very often the woman who must plan meals for her family. week in and week out, feels that she should substitute other foods for meat occasionally, in order to Keep her table budget.

 "Eat onions in May,
 And all the year after the
 doctors may play"
 And it's quite true that onions are a healthful food. Now we under stand the valuable health proper ties that have caused the onion to be rated so high all these years. As a source of vitamins and of miner- al salts, it ranks the best of the leafy vegetables.
 New onions come under the head of succulent vegetables and are classed as one of the protective" foods. The "dry" winter onions diff fer considerably in their food pro- mineral constituents.
 The tender spring onions are cas- fer to digest than the strong-juiced dry ones and are an excellent raw food. When cooked they are less fla vorsome than the winter variety. Their green tops are excellent, care fully washed, crisped and shredded and used in green salads. Dry onions are more desirable for cream soups and seasoning and most cooked dishes, but new onions are unusually good served in a rich cream sauce on toast. If topped with poached eggs, they make an appe- tizing main dish for luncheon or sup per. Grated cheese added to the sauce also increases the protein con- tent.
 Onion Stew Five or six onions, 5 tablespoons butter, 2 cups cold water, ? cups milk, 1 egg yolk, tablespoons flour. 1-2 teaspoon salt, IA teaspoon pep per, 4 tablespoons grated cheese.
 Chop onions and cook in table spons butter for minutes. Add wa ter and simmer half an hour. Melt remaining butter and stir in flour When bubbling slowly add milk, stir ring constantly. Add salt and pep per and bring to the boiling point Rub onions through sieve and add to sauce. Mix thoroughly and add egg yolk slightly beaten. Do not let soup boil after adding egg yolk Serve very hot with grated cheese sprinkled over the top of each serv' ling.

ISLANDERS CAPTURE LIZARDS WITH HAITIAN RUM

Washington. (UP)-Native fisher- men of Petite Gonave Island, off the coast of Haiti, have a unique meth cd of catching the great lizards which infest the region.
 The fishermen profess fear of the iguanas, but to members of Smith sonian institution party who visited the island was disclosed the means of snaring the lizards alive.
 ''They said they could be captur- ed," says the report of Alexander Wetmore just published by the In- stitution, "by putting rum in rock hollows where the iguanas would drink it, making it an easy matter to catch and handle them."
 Wetmore collected several living specimens by less crafty means and he remarks that the dangerous att tributes of the horrid appearing ani- mals are wholly imaginary.

PLANT ACTIVITY DROPS
IN MONTH OF DECEMBER
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 22.--Manufac-
turing operations in the United States
in December declined SO per cent from
November and 14.8 per cent from De-
cembsr, 1929, 1t Is revealed in figures
compiled by Electrical World on electrical
energy consumed in more than $500
plants throughout the country. For the
IL months of 1880, industrial activity
fell 14.6 per cent from the level estab-
liShed in the year 1929.
II allowance Is made in each industry
for seasonal characteristics, the average
shows almost no change; the reduction
was not more than normal. Standing
out against the general decline, the
automobile industry, including the
manufacture of parts and accessories,
gained 3.8 per cent. The gain carries
significance because sharp reduction
in operations normally occurs at this
time of year The 12-month average
for the industry in 1880, however, re-
mains nearly 80 per cent less than that
for 1929.
Activity in metal working plants also
advanced in December Instead of the
usual seasonal recession. the industry
gained 40 per cent over November. In
iron and steel the normal 10 per cent
decline in operations was replaced by
rise of 0.5 per cent. The rubber indus
try did not fare so well. 1t now stands
Ills per cent lower than in November
and 22.2 per cent lower than in De-
cemb:r, 1929; the years average, how
ever, is down only 14.2 per cent.

CURB STOCKS GAIN
IN QUIET TRADING
Utilities and Oils Provide
Leadership as List
Advances.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 22.-Brushing
aside the lrregularity of the opening,
stock on the Curb Exchange advanced
today without, however, bringing about
increased trading. The suspension Of
Lorenzo E. Anderson & Co. of st. Louis
for Insolvency had no effect on the
market.
Electric Bond & Share, after opening
q shade lower, recovered and got above
its previous final level. Middle West
Utilities forged ahead, but United Light
&, Power A. American Superpower and
Niagara Hudson lost some of their early
gains Cities Service was unchanged
around midday, after fluctuating mar
rowly Standard Oil of Indiana, Stand
ard Oil of Kentucky and International
Petroleum advance as Gulf Oil de-
clined
The activity in Cities Service and
Middle West securities today was based
on their statements about profits and
consumption. The former showed rec
ord high 1880 net earnings, while the
latter reported a gain of 1877 per cent
in residential consumption.
Natural gas, motor and amusement
shares featured early transactions.
Later activity came into pipe line, pub
Dealings in the forenoon amounted to
173, 400 shares compared with lS4,600
Wednesday.
Prospective mergers and expansion
plans, such as announced by United
Gas, attracted attention to the natural
gas list. This movement was accelerated
by the declaration of a stock dividend
of one common share for every share
held by Lone Star Gas Corporation
holders of record February 2. United
Gas in point of activity outdistanced
all others, while Lone Star Gas rose a
small fraction Immediately after the
stock dividend announcement. Mean
while the lower priced issues. such as
Duquesne Gas and Arkansas Natural
Gas. were marked up. National Fuel
Gas, which has been dormant after
considerable year-end demand, eased
small fraction.
Ford Motor, Ltd. as a result of an
exhaustive analysis on it, again appeared
on the tape at slightly higher levels.
Activity of Auburn over on the stock
exchange attracted traders to Cord
manufacturing, its running mate on the
Curb. Technical led the amuSements
with rise approximating points. 1t
was followed by Columbia Pictures, up
about half that amount, General Thea
tiers Equipment and Fox TheaterS "a"
MiSSouri-Kansas Pipe Line provided
the bulk of sales in that group. National
Transit and a few others came out at
fractional price changes.

PACKARD MOTOR EARNINGS.

NEW YORK, January % (SpeciaD -
Preliminary figures of the Packard Mo-
tor Company for 1880 show earnings of
at least So, 000, 900, according to a state
ment yesterday by Alvin Macauley,
president. This is equivalent to 60
cents a share, the current dividend
rate, on 100000 shares of outstand-
ing capital stock.
The company set aside $3.50 900 each
month in 1880 in contingency reserve.
Part OF this amount was used during
the year, but the net balance in the
reserve account at the end of 1880 will
stand at 100000 or better, against
1898, 059 at the close of 1929. This
indicates an increase of $1,106,94l in
the reserve, which, If added to net
earnings, would bring total net profits
to above $10,000,000.
Cash and Government bonds and
other marketable securities totaled $18.-
$50, 900 at the close of 1890, which will
compare with $17.91O,561 at the end
of the previous year.

BUSINESS AUTO
NEEDS GOOD PUSH
Trade Will Recharge Own Battery
Once Move Really Gets
Under Way.
BY JOHN H. VAN DEvENTER.

Since 1880, we have had six major
present depression. Measured by the
per cent of drop from peak to valley,
three of them have been more severe
than the present one and three of them
less. This is on the assumption that
we have nov reached our low point or
have possibly passed it by few weeks,
belief that is shared by many business
authorities.
The drop in business activity, from
the 1929 peak to the present has been
about y per cent. The three depres-
sionS of greater decline, of 1882 1898
and 1907, averaged a drop of close to 35
per cent over an average period of II
months The recovery period, or time
required to get back to normal after
the corner was turned, averaged Is
months.
The three depressions of lesser sever
ity, of 1895. 1903 and 1918 averaged a
drop of asia per cent from peak to val
ley Of business activity. The periods of
decline averaged Is months and recov-
cry back to normal averaged IL months
On the basis Of past performance, it
should require between IL and Is
months to bring business activity back
to normal basis. This period may be
shortened because of the beginning of
recovery coinciding with the normal
seasonal pick up usually displayed in the
first quarter of the year. An additional
push of this sort is helping in get
ting up speed.
American business may be compared
to motor car with plenty of gas in the
tank, but with the self-starter battery
run down. 1t is up to business men
and manufacturers, big and little, as
well as consumers to add their push to
that of normal seasonal pick up during
the next three months in order to get
the car moving. Once the car of BUSH
ness is under way it will recharge its
own battery and we can all jump in and
ride again.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 22-Wall
Street men who have been in the
West recently have found sentiment
there much more optimistic than in
the neighborhood of the New York
Stock Exchange.
Some Of them have come back feel
ing that New York is too much in
fluenced by fluctuations in securities
and that the further one gets away
from the financial district the less dis
couragement is noted among business
men. On the other hand, those who
have been in the South find the mood
of the people there deeply affected by
the epidemic of bank failures and the
low prices at which all Southern COM
modities are now selling.
