WINE WORRIES
Good Evening.

Wines are becoming problem
 Along with being treat; Which to serve with the fish course
 And which to serve with the meat. Now when we had prohibition
 One drank without rhyme or reason; But now to mix white wines and red
 Is the rankest sort of treason. It's red with this and white with that
 To distinguish is quite a big feat But the all important thing is
 Never the twain shall meet. Wines are becoming problem,
 Though you can easily learn if you wish; What to serve with the roast prime ribs And what to serve with the fish, Elm. Elm.

Extension of the power of the Re

make loans for real estate NOR cages
and railroads was proposed yesterday
by Chairman Jesse H. Jones.
The life of the r. F. C. expires JAN

much necessity for continuation of the
lending authority except for railroads
and real estate.
He also is convinced that the re-
turn of loans to the r. F. c. will make
1t unnecessary for the agency to ask
for any new funds during the coming
year.
Jones made a routine report yester-
day to President Roosevelt, but the
question of extension of the r. F. c.
was not discussed at the White House.
