High spot in the divisions big re- cent investigation of middlemen and farm income is its report on the worlds largest grain market at Chicago. It found large grain oper- ators were able to manipulate the market to their advantage and the disadvantage of thers, with squoeezes and even close approaches to cor ners. It showed that when wheat went up 5 cents 8 bushel one minute and cents down the next, someone was being squeezed. The division recommended certain laws to cor rect these abuses.
 Years ago, however, the late
 Federal Trade Commissioner Will
 liam E. Humphrey began to plug
 for "nO more investigations" Pro-
 teges of the ce-powerful ex-Sen-
 ator Reed Shoot of Utah, still en-
 trenched at the budget bureau,
 have helped weaken the division.
 And lately Commissioner Ewin Davis, former lame duck congress
 man from Tennessee, has seemed
 to favor abolishing the division.
 Originally the unit was expected to make investigations on the direction of either house of congress, of the president, or on its own initiative. That was whittled to the point where joint resolution of both houses was required before the division could act. Later the budget bureau ruled no investigation could be made with out specific congressional appropria- tion and that rule has come to mean that the president and the bureau must also approve.
 When Is Economy?
 The crushing blow came this year when Budget Director Dan Bell tele- phoned the ETC and asked resub- mission of budget estimates along certain lines.
 'But that eliminates the ecO-
 homie division," he was informed.
 we know it," the director re-
 piled.
 The division has only no em- ployes, who earn an average of $2,00O year. The relatively small expense of its maintenance leads observers to believe that there is more behind the elimination of an appropriation for it than the pur- pose of an economy gesture. Dis missal and scattering of highly trained, experienced staff at time when the government is likely to need it most, especially with wage and hour legislation ahead, might also come under the head of waste.
 Apparently the only thing that might save the economic division from extinction would be passage of the proposal to investigate public utility propaganda, which has been passed by the house. or joint passage of Congressman Withrow's resolu- tion to investigate unfair trade prac- tices, financing charges, and other phases of the autOmobil@ industry The first calls for an appropriation of $i5OOO0 and the second of $50. 900.

ECLIPSE OF SUN.
 BEING WATCHED
Peculiar Thing About It Is It Begins Tomorrow,
 Ends Today
By HELLER KRIEGHBAUM

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Washington, June 8. (UP)-Scien- tistS will have 8 chance to check during today's eclipse of the sun whether the playboy Of the skies, the moon, is back on a straight and narrow path again.
 Astronomers have never been able to predict to the split second just where the moon will be although it is the nearest of all stellar bodies. Fifty to 70 years ago, the moon was IT seconds off its predicted course; today it is expected to be only two seconds wrong. Naval observatory experts who specialize in making these predictions are not even sure that this error will be true for this longest eclipse in 12 centuries.
 For an opportunity to check up on the moons wanderings from normal and to gather other in- formation, astronomers have trav- elled to desert South Seas island, to the land of the sun-worshipping Incas in Peru and by boat to the path where the moon wipes out the suns light. Their observations are important practically because the solar system is our original clock and if 1t is wrong then our watches an dclocks may have to be cor rected, too.
 Begins Tomorrow, Ends Today
 The path of totality starts in the ocean north of Australia on We'd nesday and extends across the Pacific and past the international date line until it reaches Peru just before sunset Tuesday. It is an eclipse which begins tomorrow and ends today.
 A partial eclipse is visible in the United States southwest of a line running approximately from Eurka, Calif., near Wichita Falls, Texas; Shreveport, La; Biloxi, Miss; Tam pa and Palm Beach, Fla. The eclipse will be seen in California shortly after noon EST and progr- essively later across the country un- til it is visible in Florida at p. m. EST.
 The U. s. Navy National Geo. graphic society expedition selected lonely Canton Island of the Phoenix group, 18O miles south of the Equator, for its campsite in the 140-mile wide path of total eclipse which extends across 8,880 miles without striking any major populat- ed centerS.

Manufacturing may truly be called the trunk of New England's economic tree. The prosperity of trade, commerce, transportation, finance, and practically every other type of business enterprise in New England depends priinar- fly upon the profitable operation of this region,s mills and factories. Manufacturing accounts directly for one third of the income of New England's people and indi- rectly for a much larger ErOpOr- tion. Manufacturing payrolls. in the form of purchases of goods and services, find theri way into every corner of the business conn munity. Transportation, public utility and financial interests are largely dependent for their. rev- cnue upon their services they perform for New England's basic industry of manufacturing.

Other Astronomers

Lima, Peru, June 8. (UP)-Amer- ican, Japanese and Peruvian as- troners stood by at their equip ment in the towering Andes moun- tains along the Pacific coast today, praying for good weather as they awaited the appearance of a total eclipse of the sun.
 The eclipse is visible first at dawn in the vicinity of the international date-line far across the Pacific and it will be visible on the coast here at sundown today. It is bit com- plicated, but technically the eclipse visible here tonight starts across Pacific tomorrow. It will be drawn Wednesday on the other side of the date line when the eclipse first is visible there.
 The maximum totality of the esclipse occurs in mid-ocean seven minutes four seconds, the longest eclipse in 1,200 years. In addition to this phenomenon there will be 8 double sunset. The first will be caused when the suns light is plotted out by the moon, the sec ond when the sun actually sets 20 minutes later.

BEHIND THE SCENESI WASHINGTON 9Y RODNEY DUTcHER-i
 Democrat Washington
Proposed To HObble Federal Trade Commission Busi- ness Investigations a Con- trast To New Deals Usual Policy.
Democrat Washington Correspondent

Washington, June 8-Attention would be called oftener to the screw fer phases of New Deal policy con- fiict if the accumulation of them had not long since tended to make the spectators inured.
 A few eyebrows may lift bit, however, when an administration thoroughly committed to further regulation of industry blithely junks its only fact-f1nding staff of expert accountants and economists avail able to analyze industries their proh- ,lems and practices.
 At the end of 8 long period of seemingly calculated attrition. the Economic Division of the Federal Trade Commission will be Over- board after July l unless congress meanwhile assigns to it special investigation. This is the division which for many years has made the big federal investigations of unfair trade practices, antitrust violations and other phases of pro- dmction and distribution concern iRg which facts were needed prior to legislation.
 The division recommended legisla- tion which eliminated squeezes and corners from the cotton market, the packers and stockyards act, and the commodities exchange act. It made the sensational public utilities inves- tigation of 8 few years ago and also the investigation of chain stores. In its recent milk investigation 10 exposed combinations of pro- ducers and milk companies. Once its work did much to break up the ~tobacco trust". It made the off cial study of the steel industry's passing point system and a few years Ago proved that the bread / industry wasn't making unreason- able profits. It did all the cost studies for the government during the war.
 Recently the division completed a study of the fruit and vegetable market and is urging laws designed to eliminate notorious racketeering tn that field.

Poised in Peru

The Hayden Planetarium- Grace Eclipse expedition was poised in Peru to make observations from ground camps as well as from an air plane flying over the Andes Peaks. Major Albert w. Stevens, U. s. Army, will make photographs from the airplane.
 The Franklin Institute of Phila- delphia has sent James Stokley, as- sociate director, and Dr. John c. Stewart of Princeton university to witness the phenomena from a steamship cruising in the Pacific near the location where the sun is plotted out for a maximum of 424 seconds.

supple than ever, and that it is
possible for the furriers to use them
like fabrics to an even greater eX-
tent than they have before, though
that seems almost impossible. The
falling of the fur can make the
line of the coat, just as the folding
of it can define the lines of shoul-
derS and collars.
Many Good Lengths
There are many good lengths
this year, all the way from %
inches to 48 inches. Most coats
will fail within 38 to 43 inches,
however especially the straight or
swagger types. If you will hold
yard stick or tape measure to
your shoulder, you will see just how
far this comes. and can see that
it is long enough to be warm, but
short enough to be smart.
There is much news in furs for
this years buyers, and so we are
putting it into several days. Yester-
day we told about the new boxy
jackets, and tomorrow will go
into the matter of furs which are
most fashionable and take up vari-
GUS novelty or unusual types.

The cheese may be used in
croquettes to form the main dish
of the menu or may be used in
desserts such as cake or pud-
ding. The most popular use is
in salads. The variety here is
endless. The cheese can be used
in Stuffing green peppers or
fresh tomatoes. 1t is excellent
with canned peaches and pears
and is delicious nodded into
smooth gelatin salads to be served
on crisp beds of green lettuce.
Salads made from cottage
cheese can be used as the main
dish on the summer menu. The
cheese is higher in protein con-
tent than some meats and has a
high content of calcium, and
PHOSPHORUS essential for bones
and teeth.
The cottage cheese can be
blended with chopped hard
cooked eggs and nuts for sand
wich making.
Versatile is the word for this
meat substitute. It's mild pleas
ing flavor makes it popular with
all. It's low cost makes it a real
money saver.
Here are a few suggested ways
in which to use this food:
Nodded Cottage Cheese Salad
pound cottage cheese
l tablespoon Of gelatin
A cup Of cold water
u cup Of pineapple juice.
Combine the pineapple Juice
and water and let stand for five
minutes. Heat the pineapple
Juice to boiling. Add the gelatin
and stir until dissolved. Cool.
Force the cottage cheese through
vegetable ricer or fine colander.
Add to the gelatin. Mold in a
large gelatin mold. Garnish with
prunes stuffed with the cottage
cheese.
This recipe can be prepared
as directed and shaped in a ring
mold. Serve with the center
filled with mixed fresh fruits.
BlackberrieS, sliced pluns. and
apricots could be combined in
such a salad.

same time. Am I right?
"When a gentleman and q lady
are dining together, does the gem
tIeman ask the lady her prefer
enceS and order for them both, or
should each one order separately?
"After a person has visited a
friend and wants to send her q
gift as a token of appreciation of
hospitality, and also q thank you
note, can they be sent together or
should they be sent separately?
'READER."
You are right. Serve one or the
other, but not both at the begin
ming of the meal. A fruit compete
might be served for dessert, when
the tomato juice cocktail is the
first course.
The man asks his guest as to her
preferences, and then he, the host.
gives both orders to the waiter. He
is careful to mention her order
first, if the orders differ.
The well-bred woman guest does
not give her order directly to the
waiter; nor does she, during the
meal, ask the waiter for anything
She makes her wants known to hei
host, and he directs the waiter. 1r
this way she makes her mannerlJ
bow to his hostship.
Either is proper.

There are two definite slender
izing agencies in the new coats.
first the fact that the Swaggers are
not as full, and so make you look
much more Sylphlike, and the
other, perhaps more important
the fact that shoulders are wide,
and so act as the top of a wedge,
making all below seem much
smaller.
This shoulder width is created
in many ways, but is seldom eX-
treme. Most of the shoulders are
built out on small padding or
foundation, which can easily be re-
moved if you don't happen to like
your shoulders quite that wide.
The fur itself is fuller in the shoul-
der, and that fullnesS can fall
softly, if such an effect is more
becoming to you. Sometimes the
line of the shoulder extends right
out on the sleeve, in a sort of mill
tary fashion, creating the fashion
able width, and again the fur is
folded square and wide at the top
OF Cle SLEEVE.
Collars Are Smaller
AS shoulders take care Of all
the shaping and detail necessary.
sleeves are very plain on nearly
all coats. An occasional rounded
or full effect at the wrist is seen,
but most sleeves are severely sim
pie. Likewise collars must be
small, so as not to give the coat
a topheavy effect, and you will
find folding of the fur, or a slightly
odd shape, all that can be counte-
nanced in a collar. This elimi-
mates collars of contrasting furs
almost entirely, except the good
old shawl collars on the more ma

SENSIBLE GIRL

Dear Miss Fairfax:
"Ab0ut six months ago I met. q

He had just started a new job and
we've been going STEADY" ever
since.
Now he has lost this job, as his
boss said he was only hired tenn
pOrarily, and they didn't need him
any more. And now he thinks,
just because he's out Of work, he
doesn't want to see me any more,
until he finds another.
II told him 1t was foolish Of him
to talk that way, and that we
could stay at home, or even take
a walk, and that we didn't need
to spend money

ings now. Will you help me to
fix it up again? You always give
such good advice to Others"

I think you're find and sensible
to see things in that light and it's
too bad the young man, didn't see
it that way. Write him a note, or
call him up, and tell him you like
him for what he is, and that you'd
like to have him come over and
see you.
If he's sensible, he'll agree to

Energy Foods
Needed
BY HELEN FOLLETT

Bakers are putting up defense
for white bread, which they claim
is no more capable of producing
fatty cushions on lovely ladies than
any other energy food. They don't
like it because preachers of pull
chritude howl down white bread.
What's the difference whether
they sell that or rye?
''White bread, essentially an en-
ergy food, may well be included
in all diets, including reducing
diets, to maintain proper carbO-
hydrate balance" they affairm.
Bread contains only per cent
of fat, which is the busiest builder
of adipose tissue. It contains pro-
tein elements that keep the human
creature strong and healthy. We
all need starch, even the heavy
weights. It is better to get 1t in
bread or toast than in pastries that
contain a high percentage Of fats
and sweets.
When energy-creaClng 1oooS are
deleted from the reducing diet, it
is not safe to exercise to any ex-
tent. It's best to be moderate. Eat
less and work a little harder.

fat is not always the result Of
wrong eating habits. It is some
times due to glandular disturb.
