FIRST OF INSULL
 CASES DECIDED
One of His Executives Was Acquitted By Jury-In-
 Sull Feels Better

Chicago, Aug 15.-(UP)-There was a new spring to-day in the step of gray-haired Samuel Insull because Marshall E. Sampsell, first executive of Insults utility chain to face trial on charges in connec- tion with it's collapse, was acquit- ted last night of embezzlement.
 Friends and associates of h. sull, many of them facing trial on similar charges, hailed the ver- dict as an indication of the atti- tude juries may be expecetd to take in their own cases.
 Sampsell, once president of the Central Illinois Public Service Go, a subsidiary of the Middlewest Utilities corporation, defended himself in much the way that In- sull and several others are expect ed to follow. He admitted with out bubble that he took 4,00e shares of stock from the treasury of his company without authoriza- tion, but explained that the securi- ties were posted as collateral for leans to keep the entire Insull structure from collapsing.

Andover, Conn, Aug 15-(UP)- Responsibility for the threatened fourteen million dollar state deficit, recently laid to the republicans in the general assembly by Gov Will bu. l.. Cross, today had been bounced back to the democrats.
 Secretary of State John A. Dan- aher, addressing a republican gath ering here late yesterday, criticized the governor for blaming the op- position party for the deficit be- cause the legislature refused to adopt his. administration economy program.

NEW DEAL MOVED UP TUESDAY BY
 THE PRIMARIES
Nebraska and Ohio Were in Line-Gov Bryan
 Was Badly Beaten
(By United Press)

The New Deal stood on top to- day on the score of primary cleo tion returns from Nebraska and Ohio.
 Other primaries in Idaho and Ar kansas were chiefly of local inter- est.
 Former Governor Vic Donahey won the Ohio democratic nomina- tion for senator handily. Rer Edward R. Burke was far ahead for a similar nomination in Ne braska. He is among the staunch- est New Deal supporters.
 While local issues played some part both in Ohio and Nebraska, chief attention was centered on the relation of the candidates to the Roosevelt administration.
 Postmaster General James A. Farley telegraphed his congratu- lations today to Donahey, express ing certainty that he would "come to the senate in January" as "an ardent and entire supporter" of the Roosevelt program.
 Donahey Backed Deal
 Donahey defeated Representa- tive Charles West who was entered in the race as Simon Pure" SUD- porter of the New Deal. West got into the fight originally due to anx- iety over Governor George White, q third candidate.
 Donahey, while not antagonistit to the New Deal, was lukewarm ir his support, it was felt. However after an initial declaration of qual- flied support of the president. he came out more strongly for the Roosevelt policies as the campaign went on.
 Donahey will be pitted against Senator Simeon D. Fess, bitter re- publican critic of the administra- tion in November. Fess won his nomination with little difficulty.
 Because of Ohio's pivotal position and Fesss outspoken opposition to the president, the result will be watched closely. However, the

These are a few of the. things my startled ears have heard dropped from the lips of college graduates in the last few months. When say "college" this includes naturally high school and prepara- tory schools because they are the second step in college preparation. And grade schools because they are the first.
 A young woman just returning home from New York city: "l never can remember just where Brooklyn is. Is it in New York, New Jersey or Connecticut" Natural enough in a way, per- haps, because these three states jam pretty close to Manhattan. but it doesn't click with my idea of ''larnin'."

In any community certain in- div1duals, for reasons of economy, or influenced by odd notions about health or by morbid or finical ap- petite, subsist on a diet which, if not as poor in vitamin G as the one described, is deficient in vitamin c as we'll as other vitamins. Proba bly, - remember, we are skating on thin ice-these individuals owe
 their alleged eczema, psoriasis or dermatitis of one kind or another to the partial lack of vitamin C.. My reason for offering this sug- gestion is merely that I have seen
 reports of a number of cases where the administration of a balanced combination of all the vitamins, in the treatment of some nutritional
 disorder, has brought marked re- lief to an associated chronic, ob- stinate skin trouble such as psoria- sis or eczema.
 At any rate no harm will be done by taking an optimal ration of vitamins for few weeks as a sort of therapeutic test. By optimal mean rather more of the vitamin than we assume is essential to pre- vent frank deficiency disease. Here are some good sources of vitamin C.:
 Beet leaves, buttermilk, cream,
 fresh milk, condensed milk, eva
 porated milk, fresh skim milk.
 dried milk (whole or skim), spin
 ach, grapefruit on juice fresh or
 canned, eggs, ice cream, liver, kid
 ney, heart, tomato, turnip, turnip
 greens, wheat embroyo, canned
 salmon, white potatoes, pears, or-
 anges, lemons, caulifiower, carrots.
 cabbage cooked or raw, lettuce,
 kress, dandelion greens, apples,
 avocado, banana, fresh beef, yeast.
