DRIVE TO BEGIN
ON LOAN FIRMS
Two Undercover Men Will
Be Assigned to Halt
Violations.

The drive against small loan firms
operating without a District license
and those charging more than the
legal limit Of per cent per month
for all types of charges is scheduled
to be started next week, Assistant
Corporation Counsel Edward Curran
said today.
Police Superintendent Brown has
agreed to assign two undercover men
to aid Curran. More may be assigned
If found needed, it was said. The
men will report to Curran this week
to plan their operations.
Two Closing Up.
Meanwhile. counsel for two small
loan operators have notified Curran
they were closing up their business,
claiming they could not make a finan-
cial success on l per cent per month
charges
AL companies known to be making
small loans will be warned first they
must seek license. Supt. of Licenses
Wade Coombs now is preparing neces-
sary forms. In the past firms have
ignored the requirement of licenses.
Those firms which obtain licenses,
Curran said, would be subject to in
vestigation to determine if they are
charging more than the legal limit
New Law Failure.
The action had been withheld by
Corporation Counsel Prettyman until
y1ouy ~, the bopaS that CoyooroeS x.,r,,15
pass new law permitting not more
than per cent per month on the
unpaid balance Of loans, this being
figured as a fair charge and which
would enable the companies to make
profit within legal limits. That
measure failed.
The maximum penalty for violation
Of the present law Is $500 fine and
80 days in jail.

Henderson daily dispatch., 1935-10-11

There is no question this year
about the market supply of our two
great staple neutrality-suspicious. and
sweet potatoes. The potato crop this
year is a big one. The September
estimates of the u. S. Department of
Agriculture put the figure at 372 mil
lion bushels, which is more than the
average of recent years, though last
years crop was bigger. OF sweet
potatoes, always a staple in the South
and becoming more and more popu-
lar in the North, there are more than
in any recent year.
The carrot crop. also bigger this
year than usual, has increased almost
steadily for ten years past, until now
the markets take five or six times
the shipment of earlier wears. Car
rots rank much higher as a vegetable
than they did when the principal wav
of using them was in vegetable SOUPS
and meat and vegetable stews Now
we use carrots in many other ways-
raw in salads, creamed, baked. mash
ed, as we'll as steamed or boiled or
fried in combination with apples or
stewed with celery or onions, or in
souffles anr cnStards.
This is largely because nutrition
lists have spread their knowledge of
the food value of carrots, and this
has given the vegetable a new sta
tus in the diet. At the same time
gardeners, meeting the increased de-
mand, have supplied the markct with
tender young carrots, which are more
succulent and more delicate than the
mature roots and are more attrac-
tive for some purposes. These young
carrots are so tender they can be
cooked in the skins, and are at their
best when served simply with melted
butter and little lemon juice North
ern markets receive them in winter
from California, Texas, and Arizona
by the hundreds of carloads.
Winter carrots" or stored carrots,
the older, often homegrown roots,
are harvested in the fall for storage,
and with tops cut off are shipped to
market in bags to be sold to the con-
sumner by the pound. These are of
course cheaper than young carrots
shipped with their tops on and so
handled that they are fresh when
they reach the consumer-for when
you buy carrots with tops, the tops
should be fresh.

OPPOSED TO FASCISM
Americans who fear fascism by
forces opposed to liberalism are in.
terested in the Canadian general cleo
ton on Oct. IA, because the Liberals
have considered that the issue there.
An interesting review of the situa-
ton is presented by James H. Gray, a
Canadian newspaperman, writing in
The Nation under the title of Canada
Flirts With F'ascism. p"
Says Mr.. Gray:
THAT Canada, under it's multmil-
lionaire premier, Richard B. Bennett,
was in June of this year speeding
toward a fascist dictatorship is con-
ceded by no one in Canada save a
few Communists. True the leader of
the Liberal party, w. L. Mackenzie
King, who is determined to make
civil liberties the issue in the ma
tional election, has accused Bennett
of crimes against the civil and per
sonal rights of the Canadian people,
but his followers laugh privately at
the idea that Bennett has 'peen trying
to establish dictatorship with him
self as the man on horseback.
"Yet when all the apparently un-
related minor incidents and outstand
ing acts of his rule are brought to-
gether, the only explanation that
makes sense is that Bennett, about
to be booted into oblivion by an out
ragged people, was trying to escape
from this fate by the dictatorship
route. If the ruthlessness of his ac-
tions while premier is any criterion
it would have been anything but a
pleasant experience for those who op-
posed his will That he failed, tenn
porarily at least, may be attributed
to the patience of the leaders of the
great relief strike army, who refused
to allow him to provoke their follow
ers into acts of violence which would
have given him an excuse go declare
a state of national emergency, pro-
rogue parliament, and remain in Of
flee for another year or two. ....."

There is no point, however, in buy
irg the tender young carrots for
stews or for mashing or grating, or to
cut in sticks as a relish. For these
purposes the older carrots, with tops
and cheaper, serve just as well.
The carrot is important in the diet
because it is a rich source of vitamin
A. It's yellow color is due to a sub
stance chemists call carotene, and in
recent years they have discovered that
carotene becomes vitamin A, either
in the vegetable or in the animal
body that consumes it. This vita
min stimulates growth in children and
is necessary for general well-being at
all ages. Particularly it helps the
human body to resist infections of
eyes, sinuses, and glands of the mouth
and thrSat. The yellow-fleshed veg
etables-carrots, sweet potatoes, yell
low turnips, yellow squash contain
ii, and so do the gren leafy ones.
Carrots have other vitamin values,
and good mineral values, and so some
of these are easily lost in cooking
that carrots used raw are attractive
makes Cn6In duUlIlOndlly W
the family menu planner.
For this same reason, turnips also
are more valuable than some Vege-
tables that are always cooked. Raw
turnips, either cut in sticks to be
served celery-fashion, or diced for a
salad, are an excellent source of vita
min C. and yellow turnips furnish al
so vitamin A. Turnips, too, are
plentiful this year.
Parsnips, which are related to car
rots botanically, are by no means so
much in demand as a market Vege-
table and theil fool value is much
less. But they are widely grown in
home gardens and they can be stored
easily Favorite ways of cooking
parsnips are to parboil, scrape off the
skin, slice lengthwise and bake; or
dip the pieces in flour and fry them;
or mash and make into cakes for
frying; or scallop in milk.
Beets are in greater demand than
parsnips, and northern markets get
their winter supplies of young beets
chiefly from Texas. Baby beets, boil
ed and buttered, are a delicacy, and
SWeet-SOuf DeeIS, SO different IN 1Id-
vor and color from other vegetables,
add variety to the vegetable plate at
any time of year. The food value of
beets is not great, however. One
EA1g to remember in cooking beets
nthat they ''bled' when the skin is
broken. Therefore the tops should
not be cut too close, and the beets
should be boiled in their skins. They
may be peeled and diced and baked
in a cover baking dish-but here the
closed dish takes the place of the

if the fascist government calls them
and they choose to answer, but when
they seek re.entry into the U. S. it
is likely to be a very different mat
ter. ''
Those who are here Illegally, of
course, will not be readmitted.
An unnaturalized but long-resldent
alien, legally in the country, can up
on proper showing, go abroad armed
with a re-entry permit, but it is au-
thoritatively stated that even a sus-
picion of his desire for it to enable
him to take a hand in an overseas
war will prevent it's issuance to him;
if he goes, he will get back only on
quota basis.
Indeed, naturalized Americans OF
foreign birth will jeopardize their
status as Yankee citizens if they leave
the United States in response to an
alien summons to military outy; the
argument will be that they cannot
have taken their oaths to Uncle Sam
very seriously.
Further than that, a native Amer
lean can imperil his citizenship by
volunteering in a foreign army. The
question is:
Doesn't he forswear Americanism
when he takes another oath of al
legiance?
The issue was raised in connection
with the cases of American who
fought with the Canadians, English
and French prior to American en-
trance into the last war. It never was
settled because they automatically
were reabsorbed into Uncle Sans
side of the conflict when he was
drawn into it.. Adventurous American
spirits may not be so lucky if there
is world war Of the 1905 and they
plunge into it prematurely.

THE ROOT CROPS
For winter vegetables we draw
largely upon the root crops, not only
because they happen to be for the
most part such substantial food for
any time Of year, but because they
can be stored fresh in the fall and
used as needed later on. SO the Bu-
leau of Home Economics of the u.
S. Department of Agriculture turns
attention to the market prospects as
to root vegetables for the coming
winter months.
The term root vegetables" should
not be taken too literally. 1t includes
potatoes, which, stfictly speaking,
are tubers rather than roots; sweet

which are true roots; and onions,

Jane Froman, headlining song
stress of the current Earle stage
bill, made her unprofeSsional
debut, as a miss of nine. singing
Little Town of Bethlehem" at
the First Christian Church in the
home town of Chiffon, Missouri.
Vocal lessons and plenty OF
practice won her the job Of choir
soloist with one dollar a Sunday
for the effort.
Graduating from the University
Of Missouri in 1928 she stepped
before the mike for her initial try
on WLW, Cincinnati, and despite
the unaccustomed melody did
such a warm "St. Louis Blues"
that Paul Whiteman listening in
from Edgewater Beach Club, Chi
cago, wired her a job as a spec,
ialty singer with his band. This
she refused but let Whiteman
manage her and admits readily
to a great deal of invaluable
help from the famous band
leader.
Since that time she has to her
credit some 5000 ether programs
and has sang we'll over 1000 songs
on the air. This in radio circles
constitutes the blue ribbon for
quantity.
While on WLW, Jane m e t

STARS Over Broadway" has
linked a Warner paper that op-
tionally leads to a seven-year
tie-up.
In 1925 Jane Moore, of the
Moore and Revel dance team on
this bill, teamed with a dancing
partner from Brooklyn, and billed
as Moore and Cagney." worked
a year doing the circuits in close
vicinity to the big city. Her part
ner, James Cagney, finally split
the act and trundled off to Holly
wood for his try at the flickers
that clicked so well.
Billy Revel, the other half Of
the Earle team, was at one time
a bond salesman with a Wall
Street house. On his first trip
abroad he entered a dance con-
test at he Champs Elyees Theater,
Paris. and without a hoofing les
son in his life, grabbed not only
the prize but a booking at the
famous Cafe de Paree. Years
later he returned home after
featuring at the finest night
spots in the European capitols.
While visiting London, on a
short layoff from the Cafe De
