HOW TO PREPARE VEGETABLE PLATE BY SISTER MARY

NGA s0CEvACC VFltcT
 'As vegetables come into the mar ket in greater variety and abund- ance, the vegetable plate'' dinner becomes more important. The skillful use of many vegetables during late summer makes for both economy and health.
 There are several important factors that must be kept in mind when planning vegetable plate meals. The structure of vege- tables, the method of cooking and serving and the food values of the various vegetables chosen. must be considered. Contrast of color and flavor should influence the choice as well as the method of cooking and serving. If one vege- table is to be served creamed, let. another be served plain with but ter, another grilled or Drowned. and a third in the form of a frit- ter. timbale or croquette.
 While ali vegetables contain at least a trace of protein. Ct is not enough to keep up the balance in the body between the giving out and the intake of energy. vege- table protein is of poorer quality than that found in other sources. Nuts, eggs. cheese and milk can be introduced into vegetable plates In such a way that the pron- or balance is maintained without using meat. M

 But perhaps these fathers are to blame after all. If they had not been soaked in inertia or dis interest, I think that long ago we would have evolved system of life preparation for both boys and girls that starts to condition them and mold them at 12 instead Of 20.
 We would have more energetic young people working with inter ested enthusiasm toward a real goal, not a vague groping after they graduate, trying to find a niche to fill somewhere.
 Taking a child. early. discover ing his real interest and ability. realizing the shape of the place he desires to fill and then helping him to fill it, would obviate pain full disappointments later.

new YEAR FAILS
TO BRING JOY
in CHINATOWN

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 6. U.P(-
The traditional hilarity, fireworks
and pageantry with which Chinese
usher in the New Year" was alb
sent today from chinatown" in
Los Angeles as the countrymen
soberly stood before wall posters
perusing the latest war bulletins.
The Chinese New Year began at
4 p. m. yesterday, and at that hour
the Orientals customarily launch
noisy and colorful nine-day cele-
bration, in which dragons parade
the streets amid bursting fire
crackers and changing cymbals.
But this year the celebration is
quiet, because of the Sino-
Japanese troubles. Instead of
shouting, the Chinese here read
war news and muttered the words
of songs distributed by leaders in
which boycotting of all Japanese
products was urged.
Here and there in Chinatown
were flaming posters urging the
United States to stop the "delib-
crate and cold-blooded slaughter"
in China.

COLLECTIONS AT
DISTRICT SHOW
SMALLER TOTAL

The difference between the cur
rent collections of 1890 and 1881
as indicated today on the records
at the assessor-collector's office at
the Imperial Irrigation district was
but $153,471.84. The year 1880 was
$153,47l.84 ahead of 1881.
Total collections since 1881 as
sessments became payable was
$915, ,290.99. OF this amount SAB
969.71 were collected on delinquent
sales, leaving $871 ,32128 of current
collections.
The total collections for the same
period in 1890 was $1,107,61391. Of
this amount $72,82079 were delin-
quent sales, leaving $1,024, 1912 of
current collections. The difference
between the two years was $153,-
alba
In 1890 the total assessment was
$2,529, ,358.85 and for 1881 the as
sesSment was $2,507, ,08360, showing
that the assessment for 1881 was
$22,27025 less than for 1880. This
indicates that the proportionate

aging.
Records this year show on the
first installment 32.89 per cent un-
collected while last year on the

SEEKS TEMPERANCE
New York Governor De-
clares Law Now Fosters
Excessive Drinking.

ALBANY, N. Y, Feb. 6. U.P) =
Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose pro-
hibftion views have confounded
some Democrats, has announced
he favors repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and substitution of an
other providing "home rule" by
states.
The governor made known his
views by calling attention to a
letter he wrote to Sen. Robert F..
Wagner, September 9, 1890, and de-
claring that "the sentiments ex-
pressed in that letter are my own
personal views today, and 1 see
no reason to change"
The governors temperate views
on prohibition had been relied on
by some of his supporters in the
fight for the Democratic presi-
Dental nomination to win the
backing of southern and western
dry states.
His views today were expected
to determine the attitude of friends
and followers of Alfred E. Smith,
the 1928 candidate, toward Roose-
velt'S candidacy in case Smith does
not make fight for the nomina-
tion. Smith was expected to make
known his intentions this weekend
Roosevelt had been accused of
"straddling" on prohibition.
"Thp crIry nf tln ,,,oftar ;e
the eighteenth amendment has not
furthered the cause of a greater
temperance in our population, but,
on the other hand quoting from
the language used in a resolution
adopted by the American Legion)
it has 'fostered excessive drinking
of strong intoXicants' and has led
to corruption and hypocrisy has
brought about disregard for law
and order and has flooded the
country with untaxed and Illicit
liquor" Roosevelt wrote.
Outlines Views
THE force and effect of the
eighteenth amendment can be
eliminated, of course, only by a
new constitutional amendment.
The fundamental of a new amend
ment must be the restoration Of
real concern about disregard for
law and order / personally share
this opinion.
THE sale of intoxicants to state
agencies should be made lawful in
any state of the union where the
people of that state desire it, and
conversely, the people of any state
should have the right to prohibit
the sale of intoxicants, if they so
wished, within its own borders.
1T is clear to me that it musC
remain not only the right but the
duty Of the federal government to
protect states which continue to
prohibit the sale of intoxicants.
Furthermore, am positive in say
ing there must be some definite
assurance that by no possibility
at any time or in any place the
old saloon can come back
Governor Roosevelt set forth his
stand on prohibition in response
to a statement by Mayor James
M. Curley, Boston, that Roosevelt
had consented ito go along" on the
referendum proposed by John j.

statement, obtained by the United
Press here, set forth that this coun-
try's forces in Shanghai at pres
ent are less than the Anglo-Amer-
ican forces there, but Japan's ma
tionalS and interests are larger
than those of any other country.
Moreover, the statement contends
the lives of Japanese in Shanghai
are in imminent danger with vast
ly superior Chinese forces threat
ening to surround the Japanese
blue jackets. Japan hence proposes
to reinforce these forces, the same
as the other powers are doing.
The statement emphasized that
the reinforcements will be confined
to protection of Japanese lives and
interests within Shanghai and will
discharge the duty which Japan
assumed in common with the other
powers in protecting the settle
ment.
Other points emphasized were
that the japanese would guarantee
not to attack the Chinese unless
the Chinese obstruct them.
1t furthermore is maintained
that the Shanghai incident must
be considered separate entirely
from Manchuria. The reinforce.
ments now being dispatched will be
Withdrawn as soon as their pur-
pose has been accomplished.
TOXIC, Feb. 6. U.P)-The United
States and Great Britain cooper
ated again today in making repre-
sentationS to Japan concerning her
activities in Shanghai.
The British and American gov
ernments informed the Japanese
embassies in London and Washing
ton that they were disappointed at
Japan's decision to send reinforce
ments to China, the United Press
learned here.
The United Press understood that
U. S. Ambassador w. Cameron
Forbes and the British ambassador,
Sir Francis Lindley, made similar
representations here.
Japan was understood on high
authority to have replied that be-
cause the powers objected to her
using the international settlement
in Shanghai as a base of opera
tions against the Chinese, she had
to send reinforcements to complete
necessary operations from bases
outside the settlement.
Lindley visited Forbes, after
which Forbes conferred with his
military and naval attaches.
Edwin L. Neville, counsellor in
the United States embassy, called
at the foreign office. He said he
merely had asked Japan's assist
ance in search for Edward Hunter,

COURT SPRINGS
SENSATION In
INSURANCE CASE
Demurrers OverruIed And
Not Guilty Pleas En-
tered BY Defendants.

Coming as distinct surprise in
the face of earlier indications,
Judge Lloyd E. Griffin of San
Diego, presiding here in special
court, yesterday afternoon over
ruled all demurrerS in the Hart
insurance case, accepted pleas of
not guilty by 13 Los Angeles busi-
ness men, and set the matter for
trial March Ia after the defendants
had waived the statutory period
between arraignment and trial.
Improvised superior court cham
bers in the county grand jury
room we're crowded with defend
ants and attorneys when the in
surance men heard Judge Griffin
deliver his decision, which came
as a blow to defense hopes and a
complete victory for the prose-
cution.
AS a result of the decision the
13 men already apprehended must
face trial on grand jury indict-
ment charging them with criminal
conspiracy, grand theft, conspiracy
to violate the corporate securities
act of California, and other tech
nical charges.
Lewis Hart, asserted leader in
the insurance stock selling propo-
sition upon which the 1930-31
grand jury indictment is based,
was released yesterday afternoon
from the county Jail when he
posted $25 900 bond for his appear
ance in superior court on the date
set for trial. On his own motion,
Sam Mosher, another defendant,
was released on his own recog-
nizance.
Judge Griffins decision overrul-
ing demurrers to the grand Jury
indictment yesterday afternoon was
especially surprising in the face of
indications given last week and
yesterday morning that he prob
ably would sustain demurrers to
several counts, and that the only
moot question in his mind was
whether the matter must be re-
ferred back to the grand jury, or
the district attorney might amend.
Arguments by R>y Brockman,
corporation commission attorney,
who is assisting the district attor-
ney in this case, were chiefly re-
Sponsible for the courts decision.
Brockman built up his argument
by citing authorities in support of
his contention the indictment was
sufficient in its present form, and
by citing other authorities tearing

Japan has decided to send to
Shanghai "only" enough troops to
"clean up" on the Japanese occu-
patton there.
This, in a word, represents the
diplomatic military situation af-
feet Shanghai today, as announced
by the japanese government. ia
pan is determined to drive out the
Chinese troops defending tn Chin
ese city. When that is done, Japan
is willing to bring her troops out.
Toxic cables today gave indica-
tions of cabinet differences over
the policy on the Shanghai venture.
The ministers of finance wanted
only a few troops sent. There was
some talk of a Pacifist element
trying to overrun the military
group.
In the meantime, new represent
ations on the Shanghai course
have been made to Toxic by the
! American and British, and it was
said Japan's attitude thereto was
"conciliatory."
Fighting proceeded at Shanghai.
