SUNDAY DINNER
By ANN PAGE

n H OST housewives plan to serve in
lVl expensive and easy-to prepare
meals after the Thanksgiving feast.
Eggs make a welcome main dish after
too much holiday fare. They may be
used freely for cooking and baking, be-
cause storage eggs are plentiful and
very reasonable for this time of the
yeas The supply Of fresh eggs is grad
ually increasing, and prices, naturally,
are decreasing.
Forequarter cuts of veal, legs and
chucks of lamb, smoked pork are good
choices in the line of meats. Some fam
lies who spent Thanksgiving Day away
from home, may want turkey of their
own for the weekend. Turkeys are
still available at reasonable prices.
There is a wide choice of cheap
fruits and vegetables. Grapefruit, small
oranges for juice, apples, Brussels
sprouts, caulifiower, carrots, rutabagas
are all cheap.
The following menus are easy to
prepare and are foods which are rea-
sonably priced.

II IS believed that in a few years

will carry us to the moon. Those

done are faced with the problem

ILLEGAL LENDING

The illegal lender whose business is bad for
everyone but himself, sometimes charges 1000 per
cent interest year, declares William Trufant FoS-
ter American economist and educator, in the
current Rotarian magazine.
u. He adds that as a rule, however, the loan shark
charges "only" 100 to 800 per cent.
A girl clerk in a Minnesota railway Office the
economist says, in exposing the practices of the
unlicensed lender, Gin Ii months paid Sl25 on a
$25 loan and still owed the $25. The lender re-
ceived 429 per cent year"
In Kentucky. until recently q haven for illegal
lenders, the sworn testimony of a high-rate chain
operator showed that Il $25 loan repaid weekly
over period of three months cost $3.50. That Is
in excess of 500 per cent year. In another case,
a borrower was asked to pay 50 interest for one
months use of $40"
Charging that the illegitmate loan business hurts
all legitimate business, Mr.. Foster says:
'All business has stake in the problem. No
concern with anything to sell afford to ignore
a force which undermines the purchasing power OF
its customers. Sample studies show that on illegal
loans of about 1875 million dollars the loan charges
amount each year to about 800 million dollars.
Sizing up the licensed small loan companies is
easier. Annual reports to the state supervisory
departments indicate that their outstanding loans
are about 700 million dollars on Whlch lhey gross
about so million dollars a year.
"In other words, per dollar of credit, the I'M
licensed lenders charge roughly eight times as
much as the licensed lenders.
Merchants know families deep in debt are sick
customers. Illegal loans drive families further into
debt. The typical legal loan, on the other hand
is deliberately planned to extricate family from
debt.
For the most part therefore, legal lending rs
good busineSs-good for business whole, ag-
rcultural as well commercial
"The legal lending business is in sharp contrast
with the illegal business. Legal companies operate
not in defiance of general usury laws but in strict
conformance with special statutes. Twenty-nine
states have laws following the lines of the Uniform
Small Loan Law; and in 20 of these permitted
rates are sufficiently high to enable small borrow
ers to be served within the law.
''In the other % states and the District of Co.
lumba legal rates are low that large pro-
portion of borrowers must either cross state lines
for loans or go to illegal lenders
Business men know that it creates i'll will to-
ward business in general to have men in any line
operating in violation of fair play. And they know
that if business ever needed good will, 1t needs
good will now."-Greenve Piedmont.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
AFTER THIRTEEN YEARS

"For the root of the South's present plight lies
in the fact that it has today national program
and virtually no national leadership. 1t is strange
that it should be treated by the rest of the country
as such a negligible factor? What is it contribut-
ing today in the way of political thought? What
political leaders has it who possess weight or au-
thority beyond their own states? What cOnstruc-
tive policies are its people ready to fight for with
the brains and the zeal that made them power IN
the old days."
The words, from Robert Lathan'S Pulitzer prize
editorial, reprinted the first page of The News
and Courier this morning, are true. as true now as

lance.
Whose program is it? Whose New Deal is it?

ventons has originated in southern mind?
Whence came the brains TruStcrs," with their

The South is agricultural. The cotton policies
are dictated by New York executive whose min
lister comes from the corn lands of Iowa. The tar
if policies are the work of northern and western
Republicans to which the leaders and the South
consent and which they endorse.
In the New Deal southern congressman have
been and are conspicuous. But they are no more
than aides. They are fetchers and carriers for the
Roosevelts Wallaces, Corcorans and Cohens. "Con-

CODDLING THE WEEDS WHERE
CRIME BLOOMS
(By BRUCE CATION

This nations determination TO stamp out
crime has long been celebrated in song and
story. II is only eQuaied, probably, by the
Hghthearted and carefree way in which
the nation handles It's criminals after 1t
gets hold of them.
The recent episode Of the jailbreakcrS
at Cleveland is 4 good illustration.
Cleveland has Il fine new jail-one Of
the escape proof type that you hear so
much about. In it, among others, were
three desperate bank robbers who had dis
tinguished themselves a few months be-
fore by breaking out of the Missouri state
prison.
One sunny fall afternoon the wife OF one
Of these deSperadoes went to Jail to see
her husband. The obliging jailers let her
visit him i'm q closed room, with no guards
present.
A little while after she left he showed
uD with a couple of revolvers. With them
he overpowered the guards, obtained the
release of his two cOnfrereS, made his way
out of the Jail, Communicated an auto
and set out madly for the great open
spaces.
The flight of the felonS was 4 wild al
fair. Their car went tipping through the
crowded downtown streets at 60 miles an
hour. or thereaboutS Their car nit wo-
man, inflicting probably fatal injuries: 1t
endangered dozens of other people, ana
the running gun battle its occupants waged
with pursuing police had good part OF
Cleveland looking anXiously for the cy-
clone cellar. In the end, the three jail
breakers got clearly away.
Now the point to all of this is that the
good people of Cleveland 4 few years pre-
yiouSIy had dug down in their pockets to
build a substantial, up-to-date Jail; none
of YOUR dilapidated crates out OF when
any ingenious crook could cut his way with
a can opener, but a solid affair of steel and
stone, equipped with all the latest improve
rnents i'm the way of locks and so on.
Having done this, however, the people
elected bumbling handShaker of poll
tician as sheriff He took charge of the
Jail and proved so mbelievably inept that
when the wife of desperate criminal WIS.,
tied the Jail he failed to have his deputies
search her, and permitted her to be closet
ed alone with her husband.
So Cleveland'S fine new Jail turned out
10 be sieve, three badly-wanted men got
away, and the lives of many innocent citi-
Zens were endangered.
The case is worth dwelling on because 1t
is more or less typical. We yell for up-to-
date crime-fghting tools-and then entrust
them to politicians who couldn't be trusted
to pour stagnant water out of a boot.
And then we wonder why we don't make
more Roadway in our war against crime!

THE N EW y EAL
IN WASHINGTON

BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON. - The rcccn,
w small dent in the business
curve has been taken here and in
Wall Street with varying degrees
Of optimism and pcSSlmiSm.
You can find moro advanced
reasons for the stock exchange
slump within the administration
than you can in New York, where
the Stock Exchange is inveStigat-
ing said slump. And much more
difference Of opinion as to whether
the market decline has been a good
thing, a bad thing or something Of
no real Importance.
All this writer pretendS to be
certain about is that Dr.. Leon
Henderson, chief economist for
WPA, last Spring-at time when
authorities generally were predict
ms an uninterrupted two or three
year market riSe-propheSied a
wave of raising which would
result in a deficit of purchasing
power by this fall.
The test of the prophecy is now
with us and Henderson believes
the outlook isn't any too sweet I'M
less business acts rapidly and on a
vide front to:
l, Cut prices where possible.
2. Bring out cheaper lines Of
goods.
3. Refrain from price increases.

HENDERSON believes the stock
market went up on the theory
OF long uninterrupted rise,
whereas continued recovery is
based on two things: Construction,
which now lagS, and purchasing
power-increaSeS in which, he
says, have been largely destroyed
by price increases.
