Housing Program
In Serious Jam
New Set-Up May Have To Be In
vented To Stimulate
Building Industry go

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13. (AutO-
caster)- Presidents efforts to
iron out the clash of rival housing
programs have resulted in a tenn
porary truce between FILA AID min
iStrator Jim Moffett and PWA Adj
ministrator Harold Ickes, but the
whole matter is in such a tangled
mess that it is beginning to look as
if some entirely new set-up, to cover
the entire governmental scheme of
stimulating building industry, will
have to be devised.
The return to the Presidential
councils of Frank G. Walker, who
was the original sponsor of the
FILA plan to induce private capital
to put money into building repairs
and construction, by guaranteeing
investors against loss, was followed
by limitations that perhaps the
whole future system of federal slim
ulation of business might be worked
out on a similar plan.
Reason of Uncertainty
Some of the presidents closest adj
visors do not yet understand that
the reason why credit for business
is not available from the banks is
not unwillingness of the banks to
lend but unwillingness of those who
know how to make profitable use
of money to borrow, so long as I'M
certainties of government policy OBJ
scure the clear view ahead.
But the realization that this is
the case is gaining ground, and con-
sideration is being given to meas
ures which would amount to guar
antee against loss to any competent
person who is willing to take bust
ness risks with borrowed money, as
well as guaranteeing the lender
against loss.
That would tend, it is believed,
to enable men and corporations of
proved business ability to go ahead
with great enterprises, of which
there are many ION ice" waiting for
the go-ahead sign from Washing
ton.
Any such program will have to-
wait for congressional action. So
will any such huge appropriation as
Secretary Ickes wants for home
building for the very poor who are
unable to finance any part OF the
initial cost of residence or a sub
sistance homestead. Congress will
not meet until January 8. It will
take it a week or two to get organ
lied. There is little likelihood of any
important major legislation getting
through the new congress much be-
fore March. Therefore, whatever
plan is adopted to set the unem-
ployed building trade workers at
work in large numbers can hardly
get under way until we'll along in
the spring.
Meantime, Relief Administrator
Harry Hopkins, who is enthusiastic-
ally for the Ickes idea of great pub
lie appropriations to build new ru-
raj or semi-rural communities and
sell subsistence tracts to the unem-l
plcyed on no down payment, while |
providing work in new industries
set up in such communities by Fed
eral subsidy, is facing hard win
ter. The number on the relief rolls
all over the nation is steadily grow
ing, and is expected ITO reach five
million heads of families by the first
of the year.
So far, federal efforts to force the
states and localities to carry a larger

JAPANESE FARMER ANSWERS
BABY REGISTRATION REQUEST

SEATTLE, Dec. 13.-The first in
quiry from the public concerning
the Register Your Baby campaign
just launched by the State Depart
ment of Health came from Japan
ese farmer at Woodinville and was
couched in the following terms:
Dear Sir: Will you please send
us card for baby. For it was
just born June.
Sincerely yours,
G. Nationalist. :"
A representative of the State
Health Department found Mr.. Mat
omatsu sacking cabbage in his gar
den. He explained: II saw in news
paper that all babies have, to lbe
registered, so I wrote Doctor Coffey,
Seattle, asking him please send us
card for baby Maybe our Yasuo
want to make trip to Japan when
grow up so we want birth certifi-
cate now. Midwife forgot"
Visits Home
Mr.. Nationalist later invited the
visitor to his home ushering him
into a room in which flickering
kerosene lamp served as the only
means of lighting. Mrs. Matomat-
SUI sat in a chair beside the stove
with a round faced, black eyed baby
in her arms. This my wife and
Yasuo, born June" Mr.. Nationalist
said, as he produced a small bundle
from a strong wooden box. This
bundle turned out to be the birth
certificate Of Matomatsu's other
children who were crowded about,
stealing sly glances at the visitor.
'4T1lese birth certificates Toshiko,
she born 1921 and Tomuko. Akira,
Toyoko, Hishaski, and Reko. We
want our Yasuo to have certificate
too he said, as he spread the birth
certificates on the table. colder Jap
anese people have much bother
about certificates. No want Yasuo
to have same trouble" he said.
Yasuo Maomatsu, born in June,
will shortly possess a birth certifi-
cate that will insure against any
trouble if he wishes to take a trip
to Japan in years to come.

STRAWBERRY GROWERS
EXPECT BETTER PRICES

SHELTON Mason county
strawberry growers expect to get at
least five cents a pound on coopera-
tive contracts next year and plans
are being made for some increases
in acreage, says County Agent H. E.
Drew.
Practically all frozen strawberries
at processing plants in this area are
sold out and the small carry-over
is expected to be gone before the
new picking season arrives. Grow
ers received four cents pound last
year.

become interested in this girl,

He determines to pay back the

no piker, and although she has
kept her edeals ever before her,
she knows all the answers" as

Your Health
by DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN-

XTOUR foods have been classified according to
their ability to give you sense of satisfaction.
When the stomach and the upper parts of the
inteSneS contain food and when the digestive proc
esSes are going on normally you have feeling of
satisfaction. You no longer perceive the sense Of
hunger.
This is not wholly because your stomach and
bowels are distended, for It has been shown that
merely diStending the stomach will not develop this
feeling. 1t is combination Of the two factors.
For example. meat remains in the stomach from
three to four and one-haf hours and stimulates
certain amount of secretion OF gastric juices; hard
boiled eggs remain about two and one-half hours;
Soft-boiled eggs about one and one-haf hours, and
raw eggs slightly more than one hour.
The same amount of bread by weight as OF meat
will remain in the stomach two and one-haf hours,
or one to two hours less than meat. Both substances
will develop about the same amount OF secretion Of
digestive juices.
II has Keen found that bread and potatoes rank
low for giving satisfaction if eaten by themselves,
but when combined with either meat or fat, their
value is increased greatly.
This may be one of the reasons why bread and
butter frequently so taken together.
Green vegetables do not have the same satisfying
value as meat, but sugar gives a distinct of
satisfaction. and a meal containing sweet remains
longer in the stomach than one without.
Roughage in the form Of coarse, indgestible foods
is not particularly satisfying because such foods pass
rapidly through the stomach Moreover, roughage
seems to be responsible in some persons for con-
siderable amount Of abdominal discomfort and even
pain.
Some persons simply can not tolerate coarse and
indigestible foods.
TT must be remembered that man is perhaps the
Il only living being who eats regularly without being
hungry. The animals eat only when they have the
desire for food
In the human being the reaction toward food
depends largely on the mental point Of view we'll
as on the physiological factors involved.
II is simply because the human being has the
choice that he must be especially careful in selecting
his foods wisely.

came within a few feet of losing
his skin. A Negro stool pigeon
suddenly made up his mind he
had been double-crossed by Off
GERS and went for his gun.
HE was all cooked up" recalls
Jim, land his aim was bad, but
he certainly could shoot fast. He
cut loose with five shots at two
undercoVer men before Linus
Meredith CORNER United States
marshaD grabbed his gun hand.
Linus got a burn between his
thumb and first finger from the
last shot. I was within range,
about fifteen feet away, but I
wasn't there long"
Another alarming incident in
the career of our city editor came
when he accompanied officers on
a dry raid. The Infatuated boot
logger cut loose with a shotgun
blast that tore through the top of
the touring car ahead of the ma
chine Jim was in. There was no
one in the back seat of the car
ahead, but there was in Jim's
automobile, and that logger might
just as well have picked out the
second machine.
nNE afternoon, while supposed
" to be on a lengthy assignment,
Jim cleaned up the story in a
hurry and went to a club to while
away the rest of the afternoon
playing bridge.
After an hours play he be-
thought himself of his city cdi-
tor and reached for a phone near
the bridge table.
Just as James was in the middle
of convincing his superior in his
most dutiful tones that he had
encountered unexpected Difficult
ties, one of the bridge players
shouted:
Hey, Doss, it's four spades up
to you. What are you going to
do?"
Jim spent a pleasant half-hour
explaining to his city editor.
Mr.. Doss also admits the dubious
distinction of taking in a movie
one afternoon while theoretically
on duty. He sat himself plump
down in front of the managing
editor. He spotted the boss and
fled before the lights came on.

few white men who make up the
crew of a white trading ship.
Eskimo" probably is entirely au-
thentic in showing the strange
standard of morals of the Eskimo.
The chief Eskimo is Mala, a
marvellous type of man who at
times fishes in the far north clad
only in trousers. Mala has several
wives and is true to them in his
fashion. When Mala feels sorry
for a friend who has had twenty
sleepleSS nights, he follows the
custom of the Eskimo. He rubS
noses with his wifeleSS friend and
then with his wife, picks up his
hunting equipment and goes out
for several days so his friend will
have no sleepleSs nights.
Under the Eskimo code of mo-
rails, Mala's wife must not leave
their ice hut, and no other male
must be entertained but the friend
of Mala.
And yet when the white captain
of a trading vessel violates this
rule, Mala kills him and for that
crime Mala becomes a hunted
man by the Canadian police.
Here is a serious study of ES-
kimo life woven into an absorb
ing story photographed before
marvellous background of snow,
ice, whales and polar bears.
Eskimo" gives the best views
of life within the ice houses of
the Eskimo I ever have seen.
Their going to bed preparations at
night certainly are different than
one would suspect. Here is real
home life among the ESkimos.
The natives in the movie speak
only their native tongue, but SUBJ
titles in English are thrown on
the screen while they are talking.
Mala is a marvellous man and
at times in all Of his simplicity
he is so pathetic that you want
to cry.
