Informed persons predicted officials
OF the United Automobile Workers
would reject today demands for a
Walkout of General Motors employees
in the United States to show sympathy
for their striking Canadian colleagues.
The unions Executive Committee
took up the issue after the Canadian
strikers had rejected an offer of higher
wages and shorter hours without
union recognition.
The Canadian union men had asked
that United States strike back their
demands. After an earlier strike in
this country, General Motors recog-
niZed the union as spokesman for its
| own members.
The union executives, meeting in
closed session, also arranged for fur
ther discussion Of organizing workers
in Henry Ford's auto plants.
Can Tie Up Ford, Officials Say.
Homer Martin, president Of the
| auto workers, and other officers would
not divulge the campaign they
planned against Ford, but one official
said:
We've got enough men in our or
ganization to tie Ford up so that he
| can't move a car"
Martin disclosed his organiza ton
had opened discussions with the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board relative
to filing of charges of discrimination
and intimidation against Ford.
complaints have been made by
former Ford workers both to the in
ternational union and to the board"
| he said
All discrimination cases as such
will be pushed by the international
unioa and formal charges will be pre-
sented in the near future"
He said some workers had made
grievances against Ford at the U. A.

rnand and their German advisers know what else is contemplated The Japanese would give almost anything to know and they are making every effort to find out. Nothing He Can Do
 That is what worries Gen. Chiang Kai-shek. Germany and Japan have an "anti-communist' agreement, which probably in- cludes military clauses.
 It would be comparatively sim pie for Hitler to bring pressure on Chiang's advisers to turn over Chinas plans for defense. And there is really nothing Chiang can do to guard against this grim eventuality.
 The munitions problem is much the same story. China has in re- cent years bought great quantities of German rifles, machine guns, whippet tanks, and torpedo launches. Will she continue ito supply these necessities of war? will she stop the trade to China, or will she divert the traffic to Japan.
 China Has Money
 There is this to be considered.
 Germany is desperate for money. Her trade with China IS large, but her business with Japan - espe- cially under the Manchukuo- German trade agreement - has been disappointing.
 China has the money, millions of dollars in cash in England and America, and 1t looks good to Ger many. China needs munitions bad ly, but Japan makes most of her own.
 And so in the final analysis, mor- ey will probably dictate the German policy. If Hitler accepts Chinese millions for munitions, 1t is ex- tremely unlikely that he will try to upset Chiang's military plans.

mechanical, highly mobile and highly disciplined force.
 Like the ReiClaswehr before General von BlomhaE insisted on padding it out to 450,000 men, Chiang's army is operated on the principle of a steel whip. striking swiftly and springing back ready for another attack.
 There are now nearly 100 Ger man advisers to Chiang Kai-shek's men. Teutonic advice is evident wherever these forces take the field. They build zigzog trenches, machine-gun nests, and are able to deliver killing attack and retreat with but few casualties.
 Safely in the Rear
 Where great armies of men are massed, Chiang's troops are safely in the rear, their guns trained on the poorly trained and equipped provincial troops who might try to retreat.
 1t is an open secrt that the Germans have told Chiang he can defend the Yangtze valley success fully. The blockade of the river, preventing Japanese light cruisers and destroyers from taking Man. king, Kiukiang and Hankow by naval attack, was the first step.

STUDENT STEALS
 GOLD WATCH, CASH
Theft Discovered When Patron Fails to Return
 for School Lamp

Detective Lieutenant Henry John- son is today looking for a 20 year old ''college student" who, by acting tlonchalant yesterday managed to successfully steal $19 in cash and a $1O0 gold watch from the store of A. F. Taylor, O., Inc. 97 North Main street. The cash was taken from a drawer, and the watch from the pocket of an employe, Augustus J. Meyers. It is engraved, "A. J. Meyers, 1900" and was the gift of the Foresters of America, according to Mir. Meyers.
 A clerk of the store told Lieuten- aant Johnson that the suspect, a well dressed, good-lopking dark Complexioned youth of about 20 years of age entered the store and selected a table lamp "to take back to school with him." When An- other employe delayed in packing the lamp she left the store and went to the basement to see what detained him. She returned and her customer was still there, but he had selected another lamp and asked that this too be wrapped. He suggested that he go after his car,

If You Like to Fry Potato Chips Here Some Sugeso
Whipping
Children
Is Unwise
Force Is w eakest
Weapon Any Parent
Can Use.
BY ANGELO PATRI.


THERE are still people who believe
that whipping children will make
them want to be good. In spite OF
their own experiences they still believe
it and wonder why, after all the whip
ping, the naughty child persists in his
naughtiness and becomes defiant and
bold in his attitudes.
I've done my best. I've been very
strict with him. Whenever he does
wrong he gets a whipping and he
knows he will get it. But that doesn't
stop him. He says, Whip me. Go
ahead. See if I care. I hate you.
When I get big I'll do all the bad
things I can and you won't dare to
whip me- Last week he did some
thing that had told him I'd whip
him for if he did, and he said, You
said you'd whip me if did it and 7
did it. Why don't you whip me? You
said you would"
Now if whipping could have cured
human error it would have been cast
out long ago. Whipping was an old
punishment when Christ was born.
1t had not served its purpose then; it
has not served its purpose now, and it
is my belief, based on long experience
with children, that it never will. It
works the other way. 1t makes chill
dren afraid of their parents. 1t makes
them defiant and rebellious. 1t makes
them more disobedient.
When a child says. Whip me.
Aren't you going to whip me?" you
can know that the experience has not
only been harmful to his attitudes
toward his parents, but it has weak.
ened certain tendencies that might
we'll be left to sleep themselves to
death. Habitual beatings have the
tendency to do this, and so double the
wrongs inflicted by it.
I can understand and sympathize
fully with the parent or teacher who
loses his temper and gives a mis-
chievous child a slap. The child
understands why he got it, and he
knows he deserved it. Mother and
teacher are sorry the next minute, and
the child knows that, too. and the
storm is soon over. Nothing serious
comes of it because it is just an ex-
plosion, the crisis of long endurance.
Habitual whipping of children is
another matter, and it should not be
practiced in a civilized land. No
teacher can be teacher in reality
and practice it. His training, his
experience with children teach him
the useleSsneSs and the dangers Of it.
Those who advocate it are to be pitied
for their ignorance and should be
educated beyond it.
No child ever suffered by having q
happy home and kindly parents.
Happiness is the culture in which
children's bodies and souls thrive best.
A happy child is the finest expression
of human and divine love. 1t is un-
thinkable that there would remain on
this earth one man or one woman
who believes that making a child
suffer is making him better That Is
the expression Of hopeless ignorance.
1t should not be encouraged.
Force is the weakest weapon one
can use against anybody or anything.
Love, which is understanding in its
flower, is the strongest.

in the potato chips was about the
same for all the fats used. After 10
fryings the fats were considered un-
desirable for further use. All the chips
were fried by the same standard
method.
"a group of judges scored them on
desirability of flavor and other points.
The consensus was that peanut oil
gave the most desirable flavor, and
cottonseed oil next. OF the lards, the
peanut and hydrogenated were best
for frying the chips. The potato chips
fried in the oils and stored in bags
in the refrigerator kept fresh the
longest.
"THE woman who makes potato
= chips at home may like little
detailed information on these labora-
tory studies of deep-fat frying. Any
variety of potato that is properly
stored, between so degrees and 70 de-
grees Fahrenheit, may be used. The
potatoes do not have TO be pared il
they are mature enough for the skin
to be set. 1t used to be thought neces-
sary to soak the potato slices, but the
scientists now say this step is only
needed II the potatoes are withered.
II the potatoes are not sliced into the
fat, the slices should be washed to
remove surface starch and prevent
them from sticking together. If they
are not to be used Immediately, cover
with water to prevent discoloratlon.
Prolonged soaking zone to two hours)
gives a crisper product, but there Is
loss of potato flavor.
Before frying, dry the potato slices
thoroughly between absorbent paper
or towels. The wetter the slices are
when dropped in the fat, the more
rapidly the frying fat deteriorates.
THE experiments showed that the
high-grade vegetable oils are the
most satisfactory fats for frying po-
tato chips. They are bland in flavor,
have high smoking points. and give a
bloom or luster to the chips that
cannot be obtained with the solid
fats. The temperature Of the fat dur
ing the frying should range between
300 degrees and $50 degrees Fahren-
heit, depending on the amount OF
sugar in the potatoes. The temper
ature of the fat when the potatoes
are put in may be somewhat higher.
A little experimenting will determine
the best point for the potatoes being
used. The chips are fried until bub-
bling ceases on the surface. They
should then be crisp and golden yel-
low in color.
Filter the oil occasionally. Fine
particles in the fat cause it to de-
teriorate more rapidly. Discard all
the oil at intervals and start with
fresh if large quantity Of chips is
being made. Foaming, discoloration,
smoking, and poor flavor of the chips
show that the oil needs changing.
Store the fat in cold place away
from light between fryings."

gatherings, party refreshments, pic
mics. luncheons, buffet suppers. But
consumers were very definite in their
demands for the kind of potato chips
they wanted. The manufacturers
found that chips made from Northern
potatoes for two or three weeks after
harvest we're just right. They were
crisp, light yellow and fine favored.
Then trouble began, when the pota-
toes, handled in the usual way, went
into storage. They no longer made
good chips. The color was darkened
or mottled, the texture oily or fabby
and the flavor undesirable. In spite
of large local crops in the North, COM
mercial users were obliged to buy po-
tatoes elsewhere, until the Bureaus OF
Plant Industry and Home Economics
undertook to study the matter.
These scientists soon put their
fingers on the difficulty. They found
that the temperature at which the
potatoes were stored affected the pota-
toes and the chips made from them.
Potatoes stored between between SO de-
grees and 70 degrees Fahrenheit made
excellent chips, and were also at their
best for baking. boiling or cooking in
other ways. Below so degrees Fahren-
heit they become increasingly unde-
sirable because of the amount OF sugar
they developed. This accounted for
the unpleasant sweetness Of favor and
for the darkening and burning of the
chips and the French fries. The FAM
lily that grows its own 'spuds' might
take a tip from this discovery and
watch the temperature Of the place
where the potatoes are kept.
"EURTHER interest in potato chips
led the Bureau of Home Econom-
les to look into the kinds of fats used
for frying them. They made chips in
nine different fats. Three were kettle
rendered lards from animals fed on
peanuts, corn and brewers rice; one
was a standard prime steam lard, an
other a hydrogenated (hardened lard,
a sixth hydrogenated cottonSeed oil
and the other three were highly re-
fined oils from corn, cottonseed and
peanuts.
Results showed that fat absorption
