There was a time when we
thought that what we had to have,
if it came to first principles, was
Just enough to eat" But science
has taught us differently. What
we have to have is sufficient of this
and of that, especially of the es-
sential vitamin c.
When we first heard of this
yitamin as the "antiscorbutic'
yitamin. we said to ourselves,
well, we're not going on long
sea voyages or Attic expeditions
where we will have to live on
bread and salt meats, so we don't
need protection from scurvy!
That is what we used to say
now we know that for healthy
bodies, sound teeth and good skins
we simply have to have enough OF
this vitamin.
That is why the report of a
study of antiscorbutic potency of
canned and fresh grapefruit,
which appeared some months ago

Dried apricots have a pleasantly
tart flavor that Is particularly ap-
petizing in early spring. And there
are so many ways of using them
that 1t behooves the alert house,
wife to give them her keen atten-
ton.
Along with many other fruits.
apricots have been studied by food
chemists and have been found to
be good sources of copper, that
mineral which goes hand in hand
with iron. This characteristic alone
makes them valuable addition to
the family dietary.
| Carelessly handled dried apricots

ume, yet few simple rules which
any cook can understand make
them a delicious, attractive and in
expensice fruit.
The first rule to keep in mind
| is to soak the fruit IL hours or
| overnight in water to cover. or
course the apricots are washed
through many waters before cook
ing.
The second rule is that very slow

means of restoring the fruit to

the same time the fruit becomes
tender, and its favor is developed.
Put the fruit in water to cover over
a low fire and bring slowly to the
| boiling point. Do not let boil but
keep just below the boiling point
until tender.
The third rule is never to add
sugar until the fruit is tender and
ready to remove from fire.

GIFTS Of CANDY
!. PUTS WOMAN
IN SENATE

Because she liked to make
candy and share it with her
friends, Senator Hattie w. Cara
way of Arkansas today stood as
sured of a six-year term in the
Senate,
The Arkansas Democratic nomi-
nation, which she won overwhelm-
1ngly is equivalent to election.
For a long time Mrs. Caraway
was uncertain whether to enter
the race. Six men, all experienced
vote-getters, sought the post she
held by courtesy appointment.
Sampled Her Candy
On the last day for filing, she
brought to the office a large box
of homemade candy. Senators
and newspaper men dropped in
to sample it. One inquired:
"Why don't you try for re-
election? You don't have to
spend a lot of money. Depend
on your friends. This candy
is delicious. Thanks, just one
more piece"
Heartened by this counsel, Mrs.
Caraway filed almost at the last
hour.
The friend who was to help her
most in the campaign sat at the
next desk to hers in the Senate
chamber. He was Senator Huey
.(Kingfish Long of Louisiana.
Wagers were up in the Senate
press gallery that during one of
his verbal attacks on Senator
Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo
cratic leader, that Long would
accidentally Smite down the lone
woman Senator. But his failing
arms described circles we'll above
her head and she escaped injury.
He Ignored Robinson
The late Senator T. H. Cara
way, sharp of tongue and notably
independent, had voted many
times in opposition to Robinson.
His widow, gentle Of speech bat
equally stubborn, ignored Robin
sons leadership.
In Longs Shrewd political mind
a decision took form. He would
offer to campaign for Mrs. Cara
way and make a good many in
direct thrusts at Robinson in the
process.
Some of Mrs. CaraWay's ad-
visers begged her not to accept
Longs offer. But she reasoned
that she was not a campaign
orator, while the "Kingfish" could
call the voters from the back
woods. The combination was
irresistible.

Attorney Milford Schwartz.

PLEAS FOR HELP
FLOOD HOME
LOAN BOARD

Desperate appeals from home
owners facing eviction from fore
closure proceedings were reach
ing the Federal Home Loan
Board today from all sections of
the country.
Franklin Fort, chairman of
the board, declared ther are
many cases where mortgages are
held by closed banks. Receivers.
in the process of liquidation, have
been foreclosing mortgages and
the home owners, without bank
ing accommodations, face the
loss of their life savings.
Just "Out of Luck"
There will be very little direct
borrowing from the home loan
banks by individuals, Fort
opined. He said most lending
institutions would stretch a
point to make loans rather than
permit individual borrowing at
the banks. Fort said the indi-
vidual would profit through con-
version of home loan mortgages
into liquid investments on which
cash could be obtained at the
home loan banks.
Under the law individuals who
cannot obtain home loans other
wise may borrow directly from
the banks as long as the Gov
ernment owns stock in the inSti-
tuition. Fort says:
81 have no personal doubt
that when the system is set
up, many institutions will re.
enter the mortgage market.
These institutions cannot make
money unless they lend money.
When they know that in an
emergency they can get cash
on mortgage loans virtually
overnight, they will resume
lending"
Many interpretations of the
loan must be obtained before
the board can proceed much
further with organization. The
districts must be outlined so
that the Government is reason
ably certain to obtain repay
ment Of its money invested in
stock. To assure this, at least
$500000,000 in home-loan mort
cages must have been made in
any one district.
