w atch Your Health

THERE are several ways of find
L. ing whether you are sensitive
to certain foods. The commonest
offenders with children are milk,
eggs, and wheat. Adults frequently
are sensitive to pork fat, sea foods,
nuts, and, less frequently, to some
fruits or vegetables.
Meats, except pork, appear least
likely of all foods to create sensi-
tivities. If you are sensitive to
wheat, linseed oil, or cottonseed oil,
you are almost certain to have
trouble, because of the wide use of
these substances in cookery.
Doctors test sensitivity in several
ways. First they make careful in
vestigation of your record to de-
termine whether you become i'll with
any of the known symptoms after
eating certain foods. Another
method is to make slight scratch
on the skin and place on this
scratch drop of a concentrated
extract of the protein of the food
concerned. If you are sensitive,
you react with red spot or an
eruption.
A still more delicate test is to
inject a tiny amount of the extract
under the skin with a hypodermic
needle. Sensitivity reveals itself by
spread of swelling from the point
of injection to an area up to an
! inch in diameter.
If you are sensitive to food, you
may become sick from a single
spoonful of it, and yet be able to
eat 20 times the amount of some
other food substance without hav-

ing symptom. Moreover, if you
are sensitive to one member of a
family of food substances, you are
likely to react unpleasantly to all
members of that family.
VOU can see from all this that in
l. such cases scientific investiga
ton by physician is necessary fot
proper diagnosis.
Besides the skin test, there is the
trial and error" method of deter
mining the presence of sensitivity
Thus, the patient may go on a SIM
pie diet containing a few food SUBJ
stances to which he knows he is not
sensitive, and then gradually add
one food at time, observing the
reactions and marking the ones
which cause symptoms of distress.
In a recent analysis of 500 cases
OF people who suffered after eating
onions, cabbage and apples were
found to cause the most trouble
Then came chocolate, radishes, to-
matoes, cucumbers and eggs; after
that, fats, greasy and rich foods,
Strawberries and coffee.
OF course, not all the trouble after
eating foods is due to sensitivity
There are people whose bowels ap-
parently are irritated by chemical
factors associated with certain foods.
Among the foods which seem to
cause the least amount of trouble
to the most people are lamb, gela-
tin, butter, rice, barley, tapioca,
lima or string beans, cooked apples,
beets, asparagus, peas, potatoes, tur-
nips. parsnipS, artichokes, pumpkins,
cooked pears and weak tea.

LADY OF THE SHOWS

My Lady of the Shows is fair,
Her charming moods are mani

She stands aloof with queenly air,
And heart so strangely coldl

The ardent flame of love would

And spoil each lustrous gem!

JOHN L. LEWIS LAUDED
FOR WORK.

By Arthur Julbert
The United Mine Workers of
America should have good reason
to be proud of their president, John
L. Lewis. In Mr.. Lewis the miners
have one of the finest presidents
they ever had. He fears nothing
when it comes to taking care of the
miners union and always is looking
for the welfare of his men.
John l.. Lewis is one man that can
not be bought off. Since the miners
have moved their headquarters to
Washington, it gives him better
chance to mingle with Senators and
congressman, and above all, the
President.
Mr.. Lewis knows how hard he and
his men have fought to hold the

ON NEW LOW
COST PROJECT

WASHINGTON, D. G. - Federal
Housing Administrator Stewart Nc
Donald has announced that con-
struction has begun on large
scale housing. project costing $440,-
900 at Crossett, Ark. Two separate
communities, one for white families
and one for colored, are planned.
The project is being sponsored by
the Crossett Housing Corporation,
organized for this purpose by the
Crossett Lumber Co. and Individual
citizens of Crossett. A total of 1879
homes, containing ITO rooms and
renting at an average of $4.70 a
room per month, will be built. Con-
struction costs of the houses will
be from $1,04727 to $2,260 each.
There will be from three to six
rooms in each house.
To Be Handicapped
Both communities will be land
scaped, and utility facilities will be
provided. There will be store for
each development. The white de-
velopment will have 125 homes,
with rents running from $l750 to
$3.50 a month The IA homes in
the colored development will rent
for $1,000 each a month.

Like all pioneer countries, homes

FLOW ERS MAY
BE GROWN IN
WITH LETTUCE

Lettuce is essentially cool
weather crop. 1t is harvested early,
and it is a good idea in planning
the garden to start something along
with the lettuce so that when 1t is
used up the space it occupied will
be taken over by something else.
This may be either some other and
later vegetable or some of the flow
ering ANIMALS to brighten up the
garden patch ana provide bouquets
later in the season.
Planning SUGGESTIONS and combin-
ations is one of the chief reasons
for putting a garden plan on paper.
It is difficult to carry all the de-
tails in ones head and when 1t
comes to planting there is likely to
be confusion and delay trying to
remember what you planned to do.
With a plan on paper one need only
refer to it and go ahead.
An easy vegetable combination
would be to plant rows of lettuce 3
feet apart. Between each two let
tuce rows could be set a row OF cab
bage or cauliflower. Now between
each pair of lettuce and cabbage
rows radishes could be sown. The
cabbage and cauliflower would need
all the space when the lettuce and
radishes were gone. Instead of cab
bages, tomatoes or string beans
could be used. Or zinnias and mari
Colds. both of which make excellent
cutting material. and last a long
time in the garden, would provide
food for the soul. A row or two
of asters would be good. Other an
nuals to fit into such plan are
salpiglosses, cacalia, gypsopniia'
Shirley poppies or corn-flowers. The
latter have the added advantage OF
being excellent to cut and dry for
winter decorations. Any annual
which comes into bloom in a short
season might well be used in this
| connection.

of Cooking

Ever since Prometheus braved the
wrath of Jupiter and brought fire
to man, cooking and preparing foods
has been one of the most interesting
and engrossing subjects in history.
Great progress has been made since
man first found that meat, after be-
ing exposed to heat, or the fire, be-
came more succulent, more palat-
able than it was raw, or partially
cured through exposure to the elem
ents.

BUILDING SHOWS
NO LET DOWN IN
\ WARM SEASON

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Continued
speeding up of home building oper-
ations in all parts of the country
through the late summer season,
which usually registers a decline,
is shown in the August volume of
home mortgages accepted for in
surance by the Federal Housing ad-
ministration, just released.
The August volume was $46, ,173,-
1874, which was 81 ,841 ,676 above the
previous month of July and Sc, 400,-
900 above the same month last year.
This speeding up began early this
year, and the volume of 1886, ,048,-
346 of home mortgages accepted
for insurance in the eight months
of 1886 was a gain of 259 per cent
over the volume of $74,056,503 for
the same period of 1885.
New Construction
Since the start of operations un-
der the Insured Mortgage System
of the Federal Housing administra-
ton in December 1884 grand total
of 108,561 home mortgages, amount
ing to $434, ,927 ,078, have been ac-
cepted for insurance. All these
funds were advanced by private
financial institutions. The Federal
Housing administration lends no
money.
Of this amount of mortgages,
more than 35 per cent were for new
construction, an indication of the
direct influence of the housing ad-
ministration's program upon build
ing activity.
The average mortgage was for
$4,006 while 57.8 per cent of the
total number of mortgages accepted
. was for less than $4,000 and 1877
\per cent less than $1,000, showing
that the Insured Mortgage System
is proving an effective means of
home ownership for families of
comparatively low incomes.
Other Totals
The total of large-scale housing
commitments amounts to 41,516,-
900; conditional commitments add
$4,122, ,205 to his total.

School Where None Euer Fails
Described by alabama Teacher

A school where children never fail
was described here today by Mrs.
Marietta L. johnson, director of the
School of Organic Education at Fair
hope, Ala.
Tell-tale report cards, examinations
and homework never harass her pupils.
Her theory and practice of character
education put Washington's recently
abandoned experiment in the ultra
conservative class. She will lecture
at 8 pm. tomorrow at the Euclid
Nursery School, 1923 Euclid street.
A gray-haired motherly person, who
30 years ago launched an educational
project which still astounds educa-
tanned the optimism and enthusiasm
which have figured 50 prominently In
her Nation wide reputation. Her ideas
were rated as radical IS years ago, and
today they still have strong flavor
of originality and adventure.
Competition Eliminated.
Fear Is death, and failure causes
fear" Mrs. Johnson said in explain
ing the Fairhope philosophy. "As q
consequence. she continued, "our
school has eliminated the strenuous
competition which causes fear and
makes nervous wrecks of many chill
dren long before their time"
Advising its pupils to do the best
you can, and you cannot fail" the
school has established only four abb
solute requirements for the children.
They are:
ID Come regu&rly, l3 behave
Evening star., 1936-07-14

decently, (3) do the work to the best
of your ability and a. stay at home
on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and
Friday nights.
The last requirement is especially
important. Mrs. Johnson believes. The
future of American home life de-
pends on its wide recognition, she said,
and added that "at Fairhope we urge
the pupils to write letters, read books,
talk to each other and to their fam
lilies and live at home"
Would Prolong Childhood.
"The prolonging of childhood is
the hope of the race" Mrs. johnson
asserted. "The longer the time from
birth to maturity, the higher the
organism.
I'm applying this principle at Fair
hope, we say: 4. The nervous system
of the child shall never be violated.
2. No child shall be subjected to severe
forms Of specialization. 8. No child
may be accelerated
Every child needs singing, dancing,
music, handwork, nature, stories," she
continued, 'and that Is the program
we give them up to 8 years old"
Fairhope pupils are graduated when
they finish high school, regardless Of
whether they have made the grade
from q strictly academic viewpoint,
or not. They require only that stu
dents do their best. Graduates enter
institutions Of higher learning in all
parts Of the country. A troupe Of 20
former students Is dancing this Sum-
mer professionally in q number Of
Western cities.
