IN NICKEL
PLATE ARE PROBED
New York Exchange Starts
Investigation of Sharp
Fluctuations.
~ the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-An investi-
cation was on today by the New York
Stock Exchange to determine what
went on behind the market scenes to
cause wide fluctuations this week in
prices of listed securities of the New
York, Chicago g. st. Louis (Nickel
Plate) Railroad.
The exchange called On members
for details on transactions Tuesday
and yesterday, when there wes active
trading in the Nickel Plate issues and
a steep rise in price on announcement
the road had declared operative plan
for three-year extension OF the ma
turity for $15,000,000 in per cent
notes which became due last Satur-
day.
The Federal Securities and Ex-
change Commission also was reported
looking into the recent trading In
Nickel Plate obligations, in line with
its policy of scrutinizing unusual mar
ket movements.
The notes. which dropped almost to
S4UU lOl cdSll 11,Ouo 4dSC FhluC Aaoe
Friday, later came back sharply and
yesterday scored net gain Of about
$3.50 per $1,000 face value. to close
approximately at $84o.
A fair-sized setback shaved this
gain in morning trading in the bond
market today
Sharp fluctuations also took place in
the roads ~ and 5ia per cent bonds.
Interest due recently on these issues
was deferred, but the road notified the
exchange on declaring the note plan
operative that payment on the bonds
would be made today.
Meanwhile George D. Brooke, pres
ident of the Nickel Plate, made new
appeal to noteholders who have not
deposited to do so. He pointed out
substantially ALL Of the notes must
be deposited to avoid reorganization
of the capital structure in the courts.
The plan was declared operative, he
said, with only 835 per cent Of the total
turned in, leaving about $4,000, 900 yet
to be received.
A spokesman for the road announced
early in the week six noteholders had
brought 80 suits in New York City
municipal courts for collection Of the
principal of the matured notes.

digestive organs carry on their
work, it is conceded that fats in
general retard the secretion of the
gastric juice and thus cause food
to remain longer in the stomach.
On the other hand, most fats
have such a high cOefficient Of
digeStibility, that under normal
conditions only about One-twenti-
eth of the fat eaten escapes diges-
ton. Experiments indicate, for ex-
ample, that the coefficient of di-
gestibility of oleomargarine is
97.55 per cent.
1t is sometimes erroneously
stated that pastry is indigestible.
This statement is without founda-
ton, provided the pastry is made
from a high grade shortening and
is properly baked. Similarly, fried
foods come in for a great deal of
criticism that should not be
charged to the use of fat, but to
incorrect methods of cooking. If
food is properly cooked in fat that
has a high smoking point, there
will be no opportunity for decOm-
position products to develop.
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-06-02
Fat and HunQer

Perhaps the greatest service
performed by fat is its ability to
give Staying power" to the diet
to satisfy hunger. In this respect,
it directly affects the disposition
and may Influence the ability to
enjoy life.
The shortage of fats in European
countries during the World war
graphically demonstrated how a
deficiency of this class of foods
can destroy the morale of entire
nations.
With supplies cut off or very
greatly curtailed, the warning
countries found it necessary to ra
ton fats closely. AS a result,
their people were always hungry
and dissatisfied, even when their
actual needs were satisfied. In
this connection, it is interesting to
note that a slice of bread and but
ter or margarine will delay the
onset of hunger longer than a slice
of bread and jam, even though the
number of calOries may be the
same.

Santa Barbara Priest Grows Roses
That Tower Thirty Feet Into the Sky

An ordinary little garden in Santa
Barbara. Calf, is crowded with po-
tentialities for tomorrow's science
and realities in horticultural mir
acles says Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. In it are roses which grow
nowhere else on earth, roses with
unbelievable colors and shapes,
giants and dwarfs, roses with
strange histories and stranger uses
The garden, which is one Of the
outposts in the struggle for scien-
tific knowledge, represents the life
work Of a priest. He says that the
world is full of theories Of how
plants get their characteristic col
ors, shapes and smells, of how those
characteristics may be changed
from generation to generation and
it is the business Of science to find
out how these things work, and to
theorize afterwards.
Down the center of the garden
runs a double row Of rose trees.
They tower thirty feet into the sky,
as tall as row of pine sapllngs.
There is something unbelievable
about them. Yet these giants of the

tory Of careful breeding for a single
characteristic, height, lies behind
their gigantic size.
Close to the avenue of giant rose
trees is an insignificant bush. It
blooms irregularly, but when it
does, the world sees a black rose.
Only tiny bit Of dark red on the
edge Of some of the petals shows
how it has been bred from crossing
the very dark-red plants.
OF the creation of this bud, the
grower says: 1T is only logical to
presume that if two very dark roses
were crossed the next generation
would contain a rose darker than
either Of the originals. Remember,
that is only a theory. Science is
not made Of theories, but of facts.

use to which the product is to be
put.
The various forms of edible fats
and oils are derived from both anil
NAL and vegetable sources. They
include butter. margarine, lard,
compounds, which are mixture
of animal fats and vegetable oils,
hydrogenated fats, and the liquid
vegetable oils.
Butter and margarine are used
chiefly as a spread, and it is in
teresting to note that the annual
per capita consumption of mar
garine is steadily increasing, as
homemakers have discovered that
the use of this less expensive prod
uct releases more money for milk,
fruits and vegetables. Margarine
is interchangeable with butter for
dressing vegetables and in doughs
containing spices, fruits and choc-
olate. It's shortening power and
keeping qualities are similar to
those of butter.
Lards, compounds and other
shortening fats are useful not only
as a means of increasing palata-
bility and food value, but to add
flakiness to baked foods and to
produce a crisp coating which
seals in the minerals and vitamins
of fried foods.
Lard is used chiefly as short
ening for pastry. and good grade
will be found to be white and free
from Objectionable odors. The
highest grade, called leaf lard, is
produced from the leaves of fat
in the sides of the hog.
When made by a reputable man.
ufacturer, the compounds pre-
pared especially for cake making,
for shortening pastry and for
deep-frying, are wholesome, high
ly nutritious and give most salts
factory results. They are a most
economical form of shortening.
