ID HuBARB is in market now and
N ii comes at a-time when fresh
fruits are becoming scarce in most
sections of the country. Conse-
quently the up-to-date homemaker
is alert for ways TO use il in her
menus.
Some people object to rhubarb
because of its acidity While the
leaves do contain some oXalic acid
and should not be used. the stems
contain only a very small amount
and after cooking the acid content
is nil.
Aside from its pleasantly tart
favor, which stimulates the ap-
petite, rhubarb is a good source
of important food elements. Phos-
phorous, that constituent neces-
sary for strong teeth and sound
bones, and vitamin c are present
in this fruit.
Care should be taken not to
overlook rhubarb. Fitamin c is
destroyed if subjected to too great
a heat for too long a time. AS lit
tie water as possible should be
used to prevent burning, for the
fruit-vegetable is very juicy of it
self.
Adding other materials 10 rhu-
barb makes it possible TO obtain
dishes of increased food value.
Rhubarb combines excellently
with almost any other fruit besides
the foodstuffs commonly used with
fruits. The extra materials can
De chosen to make up for the food
elements lacking in rhubarb. For
example, adding raisins TO Stewed
or baked rhubarb adds iron TO the
dish and increases its efficiency.
Uses Are Varied
Frozen desserts, hot or cold
puddings and gelatine dishes are
delicious made with rhubarb. Well
sweetened rhubarb sauce is good
with plain rice and cornstarch
puddings. When making rhubarb
sauce do not add sugar until re-
moving sauce from the fire. Less
sugar Is needed and the flavor is
more delicate than If the sugar is
cooked into the sauce.
AS ''stretcher" and pectin me-
dunn IN the making of jellies and
jams, rhubarb Is invaluable
throughout the entire canning sea-

CHANGES PROPOSED
IN EXTRADITION ACT
Commissioners on Uniform State
Laws Wind Up Session
With Amendments.

The National Conference of Commits
sioners on Uniform State Laws wound
up its weeks session at the Mayflower
yesterday. by adopting two amendments
to the uniform criminal extradition act.
which already is before the States for
action.
The amendments. considered Of wide
importance would allow Cd eXtradition
other than that specifically permitted
under the Constitution. and (2) extradi-
ton not only in cases in which an in
dictment has been found, but where only
an information has been filed.
The Constitution provides that extra
dition applies to a fugitive from the
State in which crime has been COM
mitted.
Some commonwealths, however, it was
said. take the position that they are not
held to this restriction, inasmuch as the
party responsible for crime is in some
instances never in the State where it
takes place, and will grant extradition
accordingly. 1t is to further the spread
of this idea that the amendment was
drawn up.
The other amendment is to speed up
arrests, there often being long delay
between the time an information is filed
and an indictment returned
The uniform eXtradition act has been
adopted by seven States.

UTILITY RATE CUTS
IN DEPRESSION HIT
Section of Bar Hears Har.
ward Professor Discuss
Policy on Profits.

When utilities profits are above nor
NAL, regulation should aim not to re-
duce tie profit but to promote more
rapid expansion" Philip Cabot, pro-
fessor Of public utility management,
Graduate School of Business Admins
tration of Harvard University, today
told the public utility section Of the
American Bar Association, which was
concluding a two-day session at the
Chamber Of Commerce of the United
States
Owners and managers" he contin-
ued, "are often shortsighted and are
content with high rate of profit which
limits the business, deprives their Gus
toners of service and the owners Of the
opportunity to invest more capital"
When this situation occurs" he
added, regulation should intervene to
cure their shortsightedness.'
Against Rate Cuts Now.
Prof Cabot argued against cutting
public utility rates in time of depres-
sion. He said that utilities almost alone
have withstood the panic and by SO
doing have helped to avert a complete
rout.''
The question Of regulating utility hold
ing companies bobbed up again today.
State supervision Of these set-ups being
advocated by Commissioner David E.
Lillenthal of the Public Service Com
mission CT Wisconsin, which has such
statute
"A State commission armed with such
statute" he said, should be able to
protect the consuming and investing
public again.t three kinds of abuses
which some holding companies have
been practicing. First, abuses growing
out of what I have termed banking
transactions with the holding company:
second. abuses by way of the payment
to the holding company of common div
idends in excess of those which con-
servative business judgment would per-
nit, at the expense Of adequate provi-
sion for depreciation and surplus ac-
count ard, third abuses through the
medium of unnecessary or unreason-
able management and supply contracts"
Report on Carriers.
A report from a special committee
submitted to the section argued that
carriers subject to regulation by the In
terstate Commerce Commission should
not be subjected to the inhibitions of
the antitrust laws, since the rights OF
all concerned can be fully protected
through regulation by the commission

up this report.
