TEEMINC WITH
POOR, HUNGRY
Huge Peace-Tim Army Is
Causing New Problems
of Social Disorders.

By Scyipps-Hoicard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, oct. IA great
migratory peace-time army, Of tens
of thousands of homeless men,
women and children. has been let
loose upon America by the depres-
sion, to create menacing problems in
dependency, sickness, crime and
social disorder.
Drifters-hoboes, 'bindle-stiffs,"
hitch mixers, "f1ivver tramps" and
even whole families turned vagrant
are storming towns and cities in
numbers heretofore undreamed Of.
They are begging for jobs. falling
which, for food and shelter. Many
are being driven to crime. Com
munities, bewildered by their num-
bers, pass them on to other COM
munities.
Conditions among this aimless,
drifting multitude, recently were de-
scribed by Robert Whitcomb, a
writer for Atlantic Monthly, who
was forced into what he called "the
new Odessey," as "a monstrous
nightmare of dull horrors" And
stories coming into the Presidents
Clifford committee headquarters
bear out this description.
Faint With Hunger
One man tells of farmers whole
family from drought-stricken North
Dakota crawling out of a box car in
Chicago, stiff with cold and faint
with hunger. A Utah civil engineer
counted ninety-two persons-in-
Guiding three women, one of whom
carried babylon one freight train.
President John s. Pyeatt of the
Denver 81 Rio Grande, is quoted
as saying that there are from sixty
to 200 "dead-heads" on every freight
train and from six to twelve on
every passenger train. In July,
another officer of this road says,
1000 persons were carried on its
freight lines. Many, weak from loss
of sleep or lack Of food, fall from
the moving trains to be killed or
crippled. When thrown off by/train- |
men the ragged horde gathers in
hobo camps.
Highways Swarming
The highways swarm with hitch
hikers, travellers report. These are
augmenting the usual migration of
casual workers that swings around |
the great national circle from the
northwest wheat belt southwark to
the cotton belt and thence west.
ward to pick fruit.
This year are seen many families,
dispossessed in the cities, travelling
toward SUMMER climates in Florida,
Texas and the Pacific coast. Cali
for1ia and Florida are the worst
sufferers. Reaping fruits of years
of climate boosting, California now
harbors more than 100000 stran-
gers, its river banks, valley towns
and railroad rights of way infested
with thousands of disillusioned |
easterners, its cities pressed with |
the task of feeding new mouths.
st. Paul, Detroit. Chicago, Bir-
mingham, New Orleans, Florida
towns, Texas oil cities and the en-
tire Pacific coast feel the brunt of
the problem.

Bananas, when properly ripe, are valu-
able food for growing children and for those
who are underweight and wish TO gain, acc
cording to an oral statement March 6 at the
Bureau Of Home Economics, Department Of
Agriculture Nutrition investigations show
that bananas should not be considered a
forbidden fruit but should be given credit
for the high food value they represent, it
was stated, The following information was
furnished by the Bureau:
The food value of bananas depends on
their sugar content, and their vitamins and
minerals. They are source Of vitaminS A,
B and G, when they are raw, and they con-
tain iron, calcium. and phosphorus. When
not fully ripe, they have high percentage
of raw starch which changes, during the
ripening process, into various sugars.
Statements that bananas cause digestive
disturbances probably refer to the fruit that
is not fully ripe-Since the raw starch found
in the green and semi-ripe fruit Is slow and
difficult to digeSt-however, after the starch
has changed to sugar during the ripening
process they are easily digested. Some
digestive disturbances associated with eating
bananas are caused by swallowing them with
out thorough mastication. The sort OF slip
perry texture is not conductive to chewing
Banana pulp may be mashed with fork
before serving to very young children.
1t is easy to select or identity ripe bananas
Of brown. There is no green, even at the
tips. The fruit should be soft but firm. and
the seeds are black. When bananas are
ripe the pulp is mealy and can be well
chewed-it is also at its best flavor Green
bananas can easily be ripened in a few days
II they are kept at room temperature They
should never be stored in the refrigerator
because the cold makes the skins darken
rapidly.
Bananas served raw Of course retain all
their natural food value In this way they
can be used with cereals, gelatin, milk
salads, and other fruits. They can be baked
with the skins on or oh-the skins help
to retain the vitamins and minerals, and
holds in the steam formed during cooking
Even under-ripe bananas can be baked and
are then all right for young children to
eat Raw bananas make an excellent nour-
ishing lunch between meals, and on account
of their sugar content are a satisfying
dessert.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va, March ia friendly
suit to determine whether the city can
issue bonds TO defray the cost OF build
ing an armory which would include a
city auditorium has been instituted in
the Corporation Court here. Hamilton
Vass. although not opposed to It, is
seeking to enjoin the city from issuing
the bonds and holding an election and,
whatever decision Judge Henry Leigh
makes, an appeal will be taken and in
this way it will go to the Virginia Su-
preme Court.
The issue was raised by bond attor-
neys. whose approval is usually requisite
before any financial concern will buy
the bonds. Whether the city can issue
bonds for a building to be used pri-
marily by the State for its militia Is
the point in question. The proposed
project would cost $4,000.
