Nutritive Value Of
Apples Is Studied

How many apples a day keep the
doctor away might be the question
asked and answered by DR.. E. N.
T'odhunter, associate professor of
nutrition, State College of Wash
ington, in new agricultural ex-
pertinent station bulletin on the
1lutritive value of the fruit. Some
OF the recent studies with apples
Of the division of home economics
are reported.
To protect a man from scuryy,
Is nailligrams of pure vitamin G
are required per day. That amount
.is supplied by the following number
of fresh apples by varieties: JON.
altman 6, Golden Delicious 8, Rich
AIRED 5, Winesap 2, Rome Beauty
2, Spitzenberg 2, Yellow Newtown
21a, Delicious S.
After Storage for six months at
At degrees F., lit requires one more
Delicious apple to supply the neces-
saGy amount of the vitamin, but
the number of stored Richared
apples remains the same as for
fresh ones. After peeling it requires
SIX instead of three Golden Deli
cious apples since a high percent
age of the vitarnin is found in the
peel.
These quantities are only the pro-
tective amounts, DR.. Todhunter
states. To maintain perfect or
huoyant health, enough fruits and
vegetables supplying vitamin G
should be included in the diet to
make up a higher total.
Four points in connection with
vitameyl G in apples are emphasized
by DIR. Todhunter. She says it must
bs remembered that some varieties
are richer than others, that cook
ing destroys much of the vitamin,
that the peel is high in vitamin G,
and that storage at 80 degrees F.
is necessary to prevent vitamin loss.

line AgrlculCural Adjustment Act
of 1888, recently passed by Con-
gress, is designed to provide an all
around national farm program
which will help farmers and at the
same time protect consumers of the
nation, according to information
received by F. E. Balmer, extension
director, State College of Washing
ton.
The principle points of the pro-
gram are summarized by Director
Balmer, as follows:
Soil Conservation
The new farm program which is
outlined in the legislation contin-
ues and supplements the Agricul-
tural Conservation programs which
have been in effect for the past two
years under the Soil Conservation
and Domestic Allotment Act of
1886.
Five Crops
Upon the foundation of the con-
servation programs, specific provi-
sions are made for the five crops
cotton, wheat, corn, tobacco and
rice. For these crops the act pro-
vides that the program is to be ad-
niristered so as to provide for pro-
ducing adequate supplies each year
for domestic consumption and ex-
ports and also to maintain ample
reserves.
Ever Normal Granary
| The provisions of the Act de-
signed to maintain supplies at spe-
Gifted levels are expected to bring
about substantial increases in re-
serves, particularly in the case of
corn and wheat
! The Act directs that loans be
made to corn, cotton and wheat
producers under certain conditions,
and authorizes loans to be made
on other agricultural commodities
at the discretion of the Secretary
of Agriculture and the President
The loans are to be made by the
Commodity Credit Corporation,
which has made loans to farmers
on cotton and corn in past years.
Acreage Allotments and Quotas
Acreage and commodity allot-
ments will be made for each of the
five crops. If a crop is so large that
supplies reach high levels, the Act
provides that marketing quota
will be effective if two-thirds of
the farmers voting in a referendum
of producers of the commodity ap'
prove the quota.
Effect for Consumers
AAA officials believe that con-
sumers will he amply protected by
the reserve provisions of the new
act. The wheat supplies provided
for are intended to assure ample
wheat at all times for the nations
bread supply and for exports ano
reserves. The corn supplies are ex-

Legion Renews Fight to Save 'U. s. s. Hartford
Tomorrow Marks Important Anniversary in History
 of U. s. Navy-Flagshp to Be Recondifoned

With tomorrow marking the anni- versary of the blockading of Con- federate ports by Union fleet oi which the U. s. s. Hartford was the flagship, the Aryerican Legion posts Of the state have redoubled theil efforts to have the historic old ves- sel returned to Hartford.
 It was on August 4 and 5, 1884 that the Hartford and her sister ships. with Admiral Farargut ir command, fought their way into Mo- bile Bay.
 The state department of the American Legion has adopted the following resolution:
 WHEREAS on August 4-5, 1864, a Union fleet under command of Admiral Farraguet entered Mobile Bay, and after heroic fighting si- fenced the Confederate forts and destroyed part of the Confeder- ate fleet, thereby closing the blockade of this southern port. and
 WHEREAS the flagship of the Union fleet on which was stationed the brave Admiral Farragut was the U. s. S. Hartford, built at the Boston navy yard in 1858, named after our own Connecticut city of Hartford, and commanded during the battle by It. Com. Edward Terry of Hartford, with It. J. c. Kinney, also Connecticut man, as chief signal officer, and
 WHEREAS the part taken by this brave old ship in the historical events of that August 4-5, 1864, has endeared her to every patri- otic son and daughter of our state, leading us to believe, as we do, that she belongs here in Connecti- cut, and should be installed here as a patriotic shrine, and

DEMOCRATS FAVOR
 HOTEL CRISW0LD
State Central Committee Decides Tomorrow on
 Place of Convention

Meeting of the Democratic state central committee tomorrow at Hartford has been changed as to hour, State Chairman J. Francis Smith has notified members and the committee will convene at 6:30 o'clock at Hotel Bond instead of |8 o'clock.
 While there has been indica ton that the committee might change the site of the state conventions this lyear from Eastern Point, New Lon- don, today 1t was reported that con- siderable sentiment is against this. Feeling is reported as favoring the Hotel Griswold, at New London, be- cause of the success the party has had since Governor Wilbur L. Cross first was nominated there in 1850. On the other hand, there are members of the committee who de- scribed the hotel as "inadeuuate" for convention which will see be- tween 10 and 15 per cent more dele gates, due to the majorities the Democrats rolled up at last election, two years ago. It is estimated that there will be more than HOO dele gates to the conventions ana some of the committee reported that the facilities at Eastern Point would not be adequate.
 Members of the state central com- mittee in Waterbury, besides Chair man Smith, include Democratic Town Chairman John H. Crary, Mrs. Gertrude Cordan, Miss Dora Egan, and Sen. Joseph H. Lawlor.

Protest Voiced Over Controllers Delay
 In Meeting Pay-Roll
Criticism Officially Recorded at Meeting of Board of Works-Payments Long Overdue Alleges Official;
 Controllers Office Held Responsible

trary to the facts of the matter, as bills of a certain lumber company, to the total of more than $500, appeared for the. first time before the board of public works. These &C., counts were listed by Griffenhagen & Associates as among the bills which should be paid immediately" or as soon as funds in the surplus resource sinking fund allowed.
 Discrimination Tinted
 Board members found that Con- troller Rowland apparently had withheld payment to firms whose officials differed in political affilia- ton. Although, in June, he told the board of finance that these pay ments were made. The lumber com- pany's accounts dated back, to Aug ust 1887, or a year ago, and ap- parently had been withheld for pay ment by the controller as part of classifications and 4, where ap- propriations from which payment was to be made had been over-ex- pended.
 While this might prove the case, members commented, they pointed to the receipts of the surplus re- source sinking fund. now more than $300,000, and remarked that ample funds had been available for the controller to make the payments or dered.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-08-03
Criticizes Delay

20 years the controllers office has fallen behind in payments due these numerous workmen as much as six to ten weeks.
 Hardships. Realized
 Citing complaints from scores of these employees and part-time work CTS for the city, Commissioner AL bert Loeffler moved that the board of public works ask the board of finance to order the controller to make these payments when due, on a weekly basis. Board members agreed that particular hardship is imposed on the garbage collectors and the truckers, with the latter having to buy fuel and service equipment in order to perform their services on the numerous WPA pro- Jects, instituted by approval of the boards of aldermen, finance, pulp lie works and the engineering de- partment.
 The board voted unanimously to recommend that the board of fi- nance instruct the controller to remedy this inefficiency which has seen numbers of persons going with out payment due in June until the present.
 "A Courtesy"
 At the same time, the board mem- bers took look at hundreds of loose vouchers submitted by the controller as answer" to the boards refusal to approve such material at a former meeting. The controller called on the charter to "explain" that he didn't have to submit sheets listing the bills payable, simply did 1t as a courtesy" MT. Rowland added.
 On motion of Commissioner James A. Phelan, this matter was re- ferred to the board of finance with the request that In the future sheets listing the bills be presented to the board. The clerk was instructed to notify the board of finance concern ing the presentation of the num- bers of loose vouchers and to inform the controller that the board has not approved the bills but that 1t is the controllers duty to make such authentication.
 Among the many bills submitted in, voucher form last night were scores of 1887 accounts in the Grif- fenhagen & Associates report clas- sifications, which the controller had informed the board of finance he had paid". This proved to be con-

(Continued from Page D tions with Tammany's "old guard about the same time the "old guard" broke relations with the na- tional Democratic administration He is charged with having met and conspired with Schultz in both their homes, to conduct the lottery rack ct: Schultz handling the operative details and Hines welding the po- litical influence. The combination, Dewey said, kept gangsters out of jail while they consolidated all the nickel, dime and quarter lotteries in the city into one gigantic mono- poly and slaughtered their compet- itors with machine guns.
 Bill Of Particulars
 The bill of particulars, demanded by Hines lawyer and granted by Supreme Court Justice Ferdinand Pecora who will preside at the trial, listed dates and places that Hines and Schultz met before Schultz was assassinated in 1885. One of these places was the home of J. Richard Davis, attorney for the mob, who pleaded guilty to the conspiracy yesterday and promised to testify against Hines.
 Judge Pecora permitted Davis to remain out of jail, in Dewey's pro- tective custody, after the court was informed that Davis might be killed in jail with a flying shiv," a sharp, thin instrument that prisoners &C., quire and use to dispose of states witnesses.
 Investigate Davis
 The Judge demanded an inves- tigation, however, of how Davis happened to enjoy certain indul- gencies," while he was under $75,- 900 bond, before he agreed to turn states evidence. He referred to more than 40 trips Davis made from jail under guard to receive dental treatment. These trips usually in- cluded stops for him to visit the apartment of his showgirl friend, Hope Dare.
 Pecora said If somebody didn't make an inquiry of these 'indul- gences," the court would make one of It's own.
