Food Prices Decline
 Says C. F. Adams
Largest Number of Declines
 in December, l93O

Boston.-During 1890 the price of foodstuffs In First National stores declined in the case of 71O items. The largest number of declines m any one month was in December, with 110 items lower than in the month of 1880. These facts are contained in an analysis of the trend of food prices to the housewife just made public by Charles F. Adams, treasurer of First National Stores, Inc.
 As against the 710 price declines there were 395 increases, but the in- creased prices, according to MT Adams, were largely if not entirely seasonal and were followed later by corresponding or greater declines in the same commodities, with the ex- ception of lard, smoked bacon and salt pork which were slightly higher January 3rd than 9 year ago.
 "The price declines showed the greatest reductions in the cases of foods which have the greatest con- sumption--sugar, butter, cheese, eggs, potatoes, fresh and dried fruits, vegetables, canned vegetables. can ned fruits, beans, flour, bulk cereals coffee, canned milk, fresh milk"

The more substantial salads are usually most enjoyed when served as the main dish. A lighter salad. for instance one in which grape fruit or oranges are the chief in- gredient, is preferable when the main dish is a roast or fowl, the tartness of the citrus fruits offering refreshing contrast in flavor. In preparing French dressing for cit. rus or green salads, orange juice may be used as a suave substitute for the vinegar.

Vatican City-The papel state is expecting the delivery of three d'Ascanio helicopters to aid in avia- tion communication between the Vatican city and other ports in Italy. Due to the fact that the local field is too. small to permit landings and take-offs by conventional craft, the helicopters were ordered. Vatican priests, experts on aviation engin- eering, supervised the construction of the craft.

 The most modern discovery is the addition of a small amount of tapi- oca. Two tablespoonfuls keeps the full-fashioned shape to a 4-egg om- elet, a 3-egg chees souffle needs but three tablespoonfuls and four satis- fies the apple souffie.

Elmer unlocked the front door,
switched on the light and walked
on into his bedroom to put away
his overcoat and hat before return
ing to the stuffy little parlor, where
his Nemesis awaited him. Nellie
thrilled with a vast pride as his
first words came clearly to them
via the photograph. The eyebrows
of the two detectives went up and
Detective Sergeant Fahey dropped

grimace, for without an instant's
hesitation Elmer had seized the in

"Say-y," Colorado Charley came
back at him, where do you get

wired me for a conference, but you

Followed about five seconds of
profound silence, then:

There was a suppressed scream,

white, pitiful face to Detective Ser

paw on her little brown hand.

the extent of Elmer Clarke's ter

as he had always felt in France
when his unit was in reserve, but
waiting to be ordered up to the

he would say to himself: well.
