Fats as Food

& z
Fat is a fuel and energy food.
In cold countries and in cold wea-
ther, one needs more fat in the
diet than in warm places and sea-
sons. An Eskimo child will relish
a piece of fat as our children rel
ish candy, which is also a fuel food
of a different variety. Fat, in a
wholesome form is very necessary
in the diet, but too much of it is
likely to cause biliousness and gall
bladder trouble and to make a per-
son too fat.
Fats are available in cream,
butter, lard, salad oils, fat meat,
nuts, and fried foods and pastries.
The two latter forms are hard to
digest, except. for the person do
ing vigorous outdoor work; n d
even athletics are forbidden to eat
them when in training. They should
not be given to children or to
those of delicate digestion or who
are past middle age.

such accessories as curler, toast

percolator. The extension cord is
unsightly and sometimes danger
GUS.
At the head and foot Of stairs
three-way switches make it pos
sible to turn on or off the light at
each end of the stairway. Closets
should be lighter, ad plenty of
light should be provided for bath
rooms, kitchen, laundry and work
rooms. Winker buttons, which
keep the light twinkling on and
off and colored lights are novelties
interesting for occasions.

Lighting Fixtures

Lighting fixtures should har-
monte with the walls, and fur
n;sbings of a room, but their use
fitness should not be sacrificed
to their beauty. The first object
Of lighting fixtures is to give
light. This should be abundant
enough for the use of the room,
we'll diffused, without glare, eco
nominical, and with thought for
the care of the eyes.
In some places, laws forbid the
use of large, clear lights in fac
tories because the clear bulbs,
with exposed filament, are injur-
ious to the eyes. Most bulbs are
now made frosted and they may
be bought of any size desired.
The housewife does not wish a
glaring light in the living room as
it exposes too plainly such de-
fects as wrinkles, stray locks and
shabby spots in rugs or furnish
ings. A soft light is more flatter-
ing.
An expensive, but ideal lighting
is @cove" lighting, often used in
large buildings. From recesses es-
pecially built for them, the light
shines on the ceiling and is re-
Elected down from there. T h e
reading lamp is convenience for
close work, but if there is no 9TH
er light in the room, one will feel
drowsy. This is one reason for the
center light even when the reading
lamp is used.
The fixtures in room should
harmonic, though they need not
match. Enough wall outlets should
be provided for portable lights and

Sleeplessness

One cannot feel keen and clear
headed for work after a night Of
hearing the clock strike most of
the hours. It may be that your
physician will prescribe a mild
sedative for you, for emergencies;
but you should tackle the trouble
by the root.
Have you bad habits? Do you
eat heartily late in the evening or
do you work late and get your
brain all keyed up with excite
ment? It is best to compose the
nerves with quieting thoughts
when evening comes.

A quart Of whole milk has more
than an ounce of fat in it and
this is one Of the best forms Of
fat for children. Other desirable
fats for children are butter on their
bread, and meat once a day. A
little salad oil on vegetables is
wholesome. Children will probab-
~ not like it at first, but the
taste can be cultivated. Do not
give q child fried potatoes, dough-
nuts, pies, cakes, for these are in
digestible and supply too much fat
and fat is q laxative and its use
should be regulated somewhat by
the need. Bacon, carefully cooked,
is a good source Of fat.

FALL CAUSE OF OPERATION FOR
 J. |. MARSHALL
Treasury Department En- i glneer Rushed to Hos
 pital for Operation

As the result of a toxic condi- ton, set up in the intestines fol- lowing fall suffered in the capi- 'tol building at noon today J. I. Marshall, Supervising Engineer of the United States Treasury Depart ment, underwent a major opera Ition this afternoon in St. Ann's Hospital. He was reported by his physician to have sustained the operation and was progressing nice ly.
 Mir. Marshall was in considerable pain when he was carried to the hospital and was taken immediately to the operating room. No details of the fall were available other than it had occurred on the stairs.
 The shock was sufficient to force a, knuckle of the small intestine through an adhesion puncture which set up the toxic condition. This, it was said, was the third op- eration he has undergone, one of which was also caused by a fall. It is expected he will be able to leave the hospital within 10 or 12 days.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The United
States Steel Corporation, the colossus
of the industry, today reported that
combined gross sales and earnings de-
clined 1929 100000 in 1880 from the
post war peak touched in 1929.
In its annual pamphlet report to
stockholders, made public today, the
corporation says the total value of bust
ness in 1890, which was the most I'M
profitable in eight years, amounted to
$1,180, 1884, 971, against $l,509 ,584,6 37 in
the previous year.
The audited report made only a
slight change in 1880 net income as
previously announced. It was officially
given as $79,201 1874 after preferred
dividends of $25,219,677, equal to $9.12
common share, against $172, 1881 ,349,
or $21.19 a share, in 1929.
Current assets at the end Of the year
stood at $578, 1907, including Silt,
200, 288 in cash, against current liabili-
ties of Sos, 1878, asa, or a ratio of more
than to /. This compares with cur
rent assets of $563,232, 507 and current
liabilities of 1921 ,358,042 at the end of
1929. Total book assets showed an in
crease of approximately 100000 over
the previous year, amounting to 1884,
544,611.
Gross Investments Gain.
The corporations gross property in
veStment account increased 1924, $50, 991
to $175,030,528, partly through the &C
QUESTION of the plants and business of
the Atlas Portland Cement Co, Column
bia Steel Corporation and the Oil Well
Supply Co., acquired by purchase dur
ing the year and paid for by issue Of
common stock.
The total number Of employees in the
service of the corporation and subsidi-
aries showed a decrease of approx
mately $4,000, totaling 211,055 at the
end Of 1880, compared with 224 $50 at
the end of the previous year. Total

CURB SHARES GAIN
IN SMALL MARKET
Public Utilities Stocks Con-
tinue to Feature Trad
ing Activity.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW YORK, March 16.-Curb mar
ket prices worked higher in today's dull
session. Public utilities displayed the
most uniformly upward trend in the
forenoon, but oils and miscellaneous
industrials showed signs of increased
activity around midday.
Electric Bond & Share was whirled
In anticipation of its annual report, to
be made public Tuesday. Cities Service
moved more in response to natural gas
than to Oil developments.
International Public Utilities respond
Cd 70 the cheerful tone of the London
market. This movement benefited
such issues as Hydro Electric Securities,
International Superpower, Italian Su-
perpower A and American e. Foreign
Power warrants. Quebec Power opened
on 2% points and some of the other
Canadian utilities, by comparison with
continental power and light firms, were
soft.
Lackawanna securities and Pennroad
Corporation reacted, rejecting recent
selling of the rails. Motors again came
in demand under the leadership of
Ford Motor, Ltd; Stutz Motor and
Durant Motors.
Part of the play in Durant motors
doubtless was due to the announcement
that assets of Durant Motors of Canada
would be acquired by new company,
to be known as Dominion Motors, Ltd.
Nash Motors will hold a substantial in
terest in this new company and produce
cars in its plant. Stutz Motors untitled
orders at the start of March were four
and-a-half times scheduled shipments
for this month.
Douglas Aircraft rushed to a new
high for the year. This move was based
on the transfer of the stock to the big
board. General Aviation later turned
upward on brisk bidding.
Eureka Pipe Line opened of frac-
tonally as a result of the decline in
crude oil deliveries during February re-
ported by the IL companies of the old
Standard Oh group. MiSsouri-KansaS
Pipe, leader of the Natural Gas Pipe
Line shares, showed little Of its bouy-
ancy of Saturdays session.
In the higher-priced industrials A. o.
Smith Corporation enjoyed one If its
usual wide swings as it passed through
an arc of some points. Mead-Johnson
in the food speciality list was up
points at times before the food or pack
ing shares showed much turnover. See
man Bros. came out at half point de-
cline. zonite Products was the OUT
standing issue among the chemicals as
it moved within range of point. The
usual leader in this group, American
Cyanamid B, was relatively inactive.
A block Of $500 shares of Trans-Lux
Pictures at liz, up l point, opened
trading in the amusements. Later the
stock climbed slightly higher and then
shuttled back and forth. Loew's war
rants, which expire April l, also were
In demand.
Vacuum Oil made the best showing
IN the Standard Oil list. IntercoaSt
Trading was lower among the invest
ment trusts, perhaps due to postpone
ment Of action on the common divi-
dend. The company received an ex-
change offer of ole share of Trans
america Corporation for two Intercoast
Trading shares.
