Bright Idea Evolved
by Puzzled Boston Cop

At last the absent-minded professor
has been topped and by smart man
from New Jersey, or at least, that was
the designation on the license plates
Of the car he stopped alongside Of
harassed Boston traffic cop.
II know It sounds silly" admitted
the New Jerseyite, "but I'm stopping
at hotel here In Boston and I've for
gotten what the name Of 1t 10. and
how to get there"
The oficer puzzled for a moment
and then began to rattle Off the names
Of what hotels he could remembers. I'M
I'll finally he mentioned the Copley
Plaza.
THAT'S the one!' exclaimed the Jer-
sey man. "and now will you please tell
me how to get thereY'
Vainly the officer tried to explain
the maze Of crooked streets the man
must pass through to reach the desired
destination, but finally, realizing from
the blank look on the mans face that
his task was hopeless, said:

heat per Sc, and that If oxygen Is
present heating will increase de.
struction. The reason why canned
foods suffer less destruction of
this scurvy preventative vitamin
is because the process reduces the
chances of oxidation. In this con.
nection it is also interesting to
find that even fresh fruits and
vegetables suffer a progressive loss
Of this factor of greater or lesser
degree with storage or with delay
between picking and marketing
while there is no evidence of such
change in the canned product over
long periods Of storage. <
eve may then accept the canned
fruits and vegetables as excellent
sources of the vitamins these
foods are relied on to supply, and
this conclusion is now supported
by abundant evidence based on
actual assays"
DR.. Eddy then gives a third
table illustrating the relation be-
tween the vitamin c content of
typical canned, home-cooked and
raw fruits and vegetables, show
ing that a lesser amount of canned
than Of the home-cooked product
is necessary to protect test ami
mails against scurvy. He describes
the animal tests, and concludes:
"The development Of the can
ming industry, commercial and
home, seems by. these tests to be
more than justified as a means of
providing protective foods at all
seasons. The effect of the in.
dustry on the family budget is
true economy since there is no
loss Of health values in the sub
stitution of the canned product
for a more expensive fresh fruit
or vegetable. It would be unfor-
tunate If we lost from our
markets the fresh products, for
much Of our happiness at meal
time would suffer if they disap-
peared, but it is comforting to
know that canning saves for US
the food values which these pro-
tective foods supply"

TTHE following statement sum-
l. ming up the latest scientific
findings about canned foods
formed part Of an article contri-
buted by DR.. Walter H. Eddy to
a recent issue Of Good Housekeep-
ing. It answers SO many questions
on this subject, and clears up so
many points upon which all house
wives want information. that we
applied to the editor of Good
Housekeeping for permission to
quote 1t.
Nutrition experts have ad-
vocated a greater consumption OF
fruits and vegetables, largely be-
cause Of their vitamin content,
their mineral salts, their alkaline
residues, and the bulk and rough
age they add to the diet. They
also contribute some calories,
some protein, fat and carbohy-
drate, but these factors are usually
abundantly supplied in other food
articles such as meat, cereals, and
root vegetables, and we needn't
be particularly concerned with the
effect Of canning on these caloric
supplies.
ain passing, however, it is worth
noting that very little loss Of these
factors occurs in substituting a
canned fruit or vegetable for a
fresh type, especially If we con-
serve the liquid as well as the
solid content of our can"
; DR.. Eddy then gives tables
which show that fresh and canned
products vary only a little In
ealoric supplies and in mineral
salts, and continues:
Such tables show that while
the amounts Of nutrients differ
slightly in the various forms, the
canned products contain all the
nutrients present in the fresh ar
ticle. Canning has not eliminated
any food factor contributed by the
fresh product. Concentration, as
in pur6eing, or dilution by can
water. may affect the percentages
slightly Research has conferred
on the enect of canning on factors
such as vitamin content, especially
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1932-02-26

/ when it was learned that some OF
these food factors are capable Of
destruction by heat under certain
conditions.
1.-THE author of this article and
his research colleague, DR.. e. F..
Holman, have devoted nearly
eight years now to the study Of
this question of whether canning
damages the vitamin content of
fruits and vegetables. The answer
that can be given today rests on
actual measurement of the vita
min content of fruits and veg
etables in the raw state, after
preparation by the usual home
cooking recipes, and after submits
sion to commercial canning pro-
cedure. Details of these assays
have appeared in scientific liter
allure and are available to those
interested. They may be sum-
married here as follows: !
Il. Neither fruits nor vegetables
lose appreciate amounts of Vita
min A in. the home cooking or
canning process.
"2. Vitamin B l suffers some
destruction in both home cooking
and in canning, the product, how
ever, remaining after canning or
cooking a good source of this
factor If it contained it in abund-
ance in the raw state.
"3. vitamin B 2 or G is little
affected by home cooking or can
ming.
"a. vitamin c. If we, contrast
the content Of this factor in the
fresh fruit or vegetable with the
home-cooked or canned product
we note usually some loss in the
latter. Canned peas, for example,
lose about one-third Of their raw
content, while canned tomatoes
lose practically none. If we con-
trast home-cooked and canned
fruits and vegetables we find in
variably that the canning process
conserved vitamin C better than
the ordinary home-cooking meth
DDS.

Senior Glass Notes

Several members of our class
have received their letters for
athletic achievements.
The Class minstrel was
given, and we are proud to say,
was a success. The members
now give a sigh of relief and
begin work on other programs.
Rumors of the class play, as
to when and what shall it be,
and who shall take part in it,
have recently echoed down the
corridors. Some members of
our class have been advised to
reduce" in order to take part.
Thank you, little birdie.
Our class has received invita-
lions to a Valentine party to be

information leading to the con.
viction Of the party or parties

Although nothing was stolen,
the new building suffered ma
Elicious treatment. Walls, win
dows and furnishings were
damaged. q
The elementary school rooms
were very much abused by the
offender.
l, as a member of the Senior
Glass, do not believe it to be a
student in our school. / think
the pupils here have too much
respect and pride to malicious
ly damage school property. If
it were a pupil of this lnstitu-
ton he is not worthy to remain
in our school. Therefore, we
will do everything in our power
to convict and dismiss him
from our school. We are
proud of the reputation Of Ris-
ing Sun High School, and in
stead of allowing that good
name destroyed, we intend to
add more laurels to its honor.

A Lesson From George WASH
ingtOn
Let us not go into detail
about the virtues of George
Washington, and about the
factors that prove that he serv-
ed his country. We have all
heard these things, and we
know them. Every one would
like to become as famous as
Washington. Let us always
Ipractiee his rules. They are
as follows.
Every action in company
ought to be with some sign of
respect to those present.
/ 2-Do not express joy before
one sick or in pain, for that
CONTRARY passion will aggravate
his misery.
S--Let your countenance be
pleasant, but in serious matter
be somewhat grave.
Take all corrections
thankfully in what time or.
4 place soever given.
/ 5-Play not the peacock,
looking everywhere about you
to see if you be we'll decked, and
your clothes fit handsomely.
/ 6-Speak no injurious words,
neither in jest nor in earnest;
scott at none, although they
give occasion.
| BE not forward, but
friendly and courteous.
Stink before you speak;
pronounce not imperfectly, nor
bring out words too hastily, but
orderly and distinctly.
Go not thither whence
you know not whether you
shall be welcome or not.
10-Be not curious to know
the affairs of others, neither
approach to those who speak
in privat.

Athletic Association

Through the winter months
we forget that there is an
athletic association that lasts
throughout the school year
The officers must make a drive
for dues that are not paid.
Money is needed for the
various functions of this assoc
citation. With the spring
athletic season coming, the
teams will make trips to the
games at the different schools.
In May the usual Rally Day at
Elkton will be held. Athletic
equipment is needed. All these
things cost money.
The dues are ten cents for
the first and second years, and
fifteen cents for the upper
classmen. Students, lets. pay

Cowboy lasted the distance be-
cause he rode fast horse though
Knight wasn't overwilling to chase
his quarry.
The fight was a "dud," Phelps
failing to win round though
holding his opponent even in the
first round. Only in the last
round did the Cowboy" flare up
and then but briefly. returning
to his defensive game.
Phelps effectively blocke d
Knights left but was caught
twice by hard lefts to the head.
One of these planted Phelps on
the floor in the fourth but he arose
before Referee Charlie Short
could count. Yet, Knight was un-
able to finish his dazed rival. The
knockdown, it was said, was the
first in Phelps career.

A Double Reflection

BY it's gesture this week the
A. A. U has already not only
thrown a cloud over Miss Did
rikson's future sports activities.
because she'll never again pull
on a track shoe without some
body lifting an eyebrow, but it
has taken some of the glamor
from her past performances
In the eyes of certain folks who
would rather view with alarm
than point with pride.
Instead of encouraging this
young lady in her great ath-
letic pursuits and thereby
building up the phase of sports
over which it has assumed con-
troll, from time to time, as in
her case and the case of Pad
dock and others, the A. A. U
has weakened itself in the eyes
of the, boys and girls of Amer
lea every time it has gone out
Of it's way to assail one of their
idols.
Suppose Miss Didrikson did
everything the A. A. U. sus-
poets she did! What of it? It
doesn't make her any less an
athlete. She hasn't fouled an
opponent. She is guilty of moth
ing unsportsrnanlike or un-
womanly before or in competi-
ton.
And that is all the public
cares about. If she can buy
some pretty clothes or help lift
the MORTGAGE off the old home
stead by indorsing something
or other, nobody in the wide,
wide world is = ".ended except
the A. A. U. officers of which
make a living off the interest
in sports taken by Mildred Did
rikson and hundreds of others
like her-but. then, that isn't
commercialism, is it?

ing feminine athlete, who las
been disqualified as an amateur.
The invitation was wired to
Bingham by Homer Mitchell,
head of the insurance brokerage
firm which employs Miss Didrik-
son. Mitchell was quoted as
charging that Miss Didrikson'S
disqualification was the fruit of
efforts to force the woman star
to turn professional 80 that a
few of the A. A. U. officials can
reap a harvest"
Miss DidrikSon herself laid the
blame 1or her disqualification at
the threshold of Foster Jacoby,
official of the Texas A. A. u,
alleging that Jacoby had invited
her to have her picture taken in
new model automobile. The
versatile amazon was quoted as
saying:
II did have my picture taken
with the car, but instructed
them to not use it in any kind
of promotion. The next thing I
heard was that had been SuS-
pended. If any one is to blame,
it is the A. A. U. representative
who has been trying to get me
to turn professional since my
