VN|HEN you figure the energy
w that bread supplies in the
diet, you should remember that it
is primarily a carbohydrate food.
Thus, two biscuits provide 100
calories; three-inch piece of cof-
fee cakes provides 300 calories; a
large Graham muffin yields 100
calories; a six-inch waffle yields 100
calories; large Parker House roll
makes 81 calories; a slice of raisin
bread provides 1876 Galleries; slice
of cinnamon toast builds $50 cal
cries; and even two slices of Melba
toast will give 100 calories.
I have described Melba toast as
a piece of bread cut so thin that
when heated it curls up with dis
gust at the condition it is in.
In considering bread, a word also
should be said about cake. Every
type of cake yields energy accord
ing to what goes into it. There are
angel food, devil food, fruit, pound,
chocolate, sponge, and white cake
with icing and coconut on the out
side.
The eggs, flour, and other in
gradients, such as sugar, flavoring,
milk, and fruit, help to build up the
food value.
Therefore, cake is not good
food, either for reducing or gain
ing weight. An average slice of
cake will provide 200 to 400 calor-
les. Because of its sweetness, it
is filling and satiating. It belongs,
like candy, toward the end of the
meal.
Gluten breads differ from others
in the manner of preparation, so

TODAY'S SCIENCE
BY DAVID DIETZ.

MYTH floods in the East and
w dust storms in the West, the
time is ripe to read Deserts on the
March," by DR.. Paul B. Sears. Prof.
Sears is the head of the department
of botany at the University of Okla
homa. He writes with the skill and
wit of a top-notch novelist and the
dramatic fervor of one of the Old
Testament prophets.
You will find Deserts on the
March" an exciting experience as
well as a timely warning which the
nation must heed for it's own future
welfare.
Prof. Sears has approached the
national problem with the discern
ing eye of the botanist. He sees man
as part of the scheme of nature, q
diScordant part bent on upsetting
the rest of the scheme. He warns us
that man has not been successful
at this in the past and will not be
in the future.
He traces the decline of ancient
civilization, notably the Maya civili-
cation in this country Then he tells
the story of how the pioneers
moved across the United States,
destroying forests, destroying grass
lands, and paving the way for the
march of the deserts" Nature,
left alone, hens in the deserts to
the smallest possible area. But man,
by destroying forests, upsetting nat
ural watersheds and drainage areas,
blowing land that should be left
alone, and thereby inviting erosion,
permitting the destruction of grass
lands by grazing, and other
wise upsetting natures scheme, has
made it possible for the deserts to
begin to expand.

No sooner had the great Queen

Many tons have been added to her

DECLARES INSTITUTIONS HAVE
SURPASSED MAN.


DECLARES INSTITUTIONS HAVE
SURPASSED MAN.
BY Times Reader
In the periodic heydays of our
national prosperity, the nation as
whole gives little attention to its
great social problems. They are
put aside until the pangs of leaner
years set in and we seek to discover
what is wrong with the huge ma
chine.
The depression has been Just such
time, and so far the solution to
our social ills remains to be found.
But perhaps no one has so sharply
diagnosed the trouble as has DR..
Alexis Carrel, famous scientist. The
trouble, he says, is that the march
of science has left the human being
by the wayside.
This eminent thinker urges a new
type of scientist whose exclusive
function would be to study the
great social problems; to turn his
attention from development of a
material science to development of
the human being.
Man seems to have grown more
slowly than the institutions he has
created. 1t is high time that he
does something about catching up!

Q-Is is true that elephants are
afraid of mice?
A-Trainers who have observed
elephants over a long period say
that this belief is pure fallacy.
The director of the National Zoolog-
ical Park at Washington, d. c..
states that elephants pay no atten-
ton whatever to the numerous mice
running about the barns. Rats and
mice abound in the hay in circuses
and animal shows and the elephants
apparently pay no attention to
them. Nor is there any evidence
that elephants in the wild state ex-
hibit any particular fear of mice.
A writer who had many years ex-
perience with wild elephants in
India states that their two greatest
fears are dogs and human beings.
Possibly individual elephants may
have fear-of mice.

A SIX any of the 200 deputy coun-
Il ty assessors, now engaged in
finding out what you have that's
taxable, and they'll tell you the
whole affair is a pretty grim bust
ness.
AS grim, they'll say, as you might
gather from the replies of woman
written on the blank list by her
when she was in a defensive state
of mind.
They follow:
Q-Dogs: male and female?
A-Ain't got no dog.
Off real estate is owned by wife,
give her name in full.
A-No, we don't own no real es-
tate. We are just poor little
creatures living as catch can.
Q-Name of husband?
A-Ain't got no husband.
n-DO you own real estate in this
" township?
A-No sir. I cont own nothing.
I am under the city.
Q-value of additional improve
ments made since March 1, 1885.
A-Ain't got no improvements but
just sitting on the city.
Q-Where are such improvements
located?
Al have not got no improve
ments any further than the city.
Under Intangible personal prop
erty she listed, among other house
hold goods, one two-eyed heater.
NNE of the big stumbling blocks,
~ the assessors say, is that people
insist on putting their party aff1lia-
ton in the space reserved for poll
tax
Another is that they disclaim all
ownership of more than one dog,
even when two or three are in plain
sight playing around, to escape the
S. tax for each additional dog over
one. When asked to explain, the
usual answer is that the dogs be-
long to some one else and are just
being kept.
Also some people insist on going
over the entire list and adding
none" after each item. This is very
hard on erasers, the assessors say.
And then the head of house will
declare 500 worth of property,
wearing a diamond ring and some
times big sparkler in his tie.
The assessors say it is all in fun.

SAYS WOMEN ARE NEEDED
IN BUSINESS

IN BUSINESS
BY Helen W.
Consider for the moment what a
one-day strike" of the women of
this country would do to life and
business. Actually, of course, there
is no thought of such strike nor
any necessity for it. Hence We'll
look at the picture theoretically as
Miss Charl Ormond Williams, presi-
dent of the National Federation of
Business and Professional Women's
Clubs, sees it.
Nearly 100000 women" she
points out, "are employed by one
national telephone company alone.
Then 100000 women are engaged
in manufacturing business; nearly
100000 are employed as clerks, and
more than 100000 are employed in
domestic or personal service.
1.-THE public schools, the banks,
and the stock exchanges, elevators,
stores, hotels, offices, and shops
would be forced to close, not to
mention how many men would have
difficulty in securing good break
fasts.''
In a word, the workaday world
can not function without it's women.

CAUSES EXPLAINED
Weather Expert Says Seven
Factors Were Involved

many phenomena which occurred at

Seven factors were involved in the

Had any one of the factors been miss

4. Extremely low temperatures in
Labrador sent out a frigid current
which formed q second wedge of cold
air over the Canadian maritime prov
inces.
S. This cold wedge helped to trap
the storm and hold it over the water
sheds from Georgia to Vermont.
6. The rear guard of the disturbance
