WELL, my dears, let's
w start this weeks style
survey with a quick "look-
in" on our girl friend, Hattie
Carnegie, to see what she's
whipping up in the way of
clever "get-ups" for South
bound bellies.
Starting with that all i'm
portant resort style of Stacks
and pajamas, Hattie once again
has gone to town." bringing
forth some numbers that are
certainly on the new and diff
ferent side. She takes, for eX-
ample, a pair Ut neat beige
linen "trou," and, instead of
topping them with the proven
bal shirt, adds a full skirted
little girl" dress that flares just
short of the knee.
This, same skating skirt sill
houette, which, incidentally,
threatens to sweep the fashion
picture from morn till night,
appears again in gay printed
linen knee-length jumper that
goes with monotone blue linen
"trou." The Skinned waist-band
effect '(another must" that
continues big in the style Scene)
is achieved by a wide swath of
blue linen.

Discover
VitQnins
BY ALLAN ROY DAFoE, MD
Personal Physician to the
Dionne Quintuplets

Copyright. 1888. by King Features
Syndicate, Inc.)
VITAMIN B, which has
v since been subdivided
into at least eight parts, was
really the first vitamin to be
discovered.
A group of scientists had gone
to the Orient to make a study
of beri-beri. This is q disease
The Washington times., 1938-12-07


were of the better classes, who
had better food and better sur
roundings.
Main Diet
Polished Rice
It took a great deal of time
for these men to discover that
sufferers from beri-beri were all
people whose main diet was
polished rice. The poorer classes
that subsisted on the cheap, I'M
polished rice rarely if ever took
the disease. 1t took q long time
to reach this conclusion because
there were apparent contradic-
tons to confuse them.
For instance they found that
there was beri-beri in jailS,
where apparently everyone got
the same food. Here again, they
found that sufferers were eaters
of polished rice. This led to the
discovery that rice polishingS
contained something that could
be dissolved out in water and
was destroyed by heat. Expert
ments were tried on animals,
and again these rice poliShingS
were shown to contain some
thing that the animals required
in their diet.
KnOLUn as
Vitanain B s.-#-
This something was called
Vitamin B, and it is what we
now know as the Vitamin B
group.
For all practical purposes,
about all we need to know about
this vitamin is that we get it
from fresh foods such as fruits
and vegetables, and especially in
whole grain cereals.
Where a great many people
do 60 astray is in driving all or
most of the vitamin out OF the
food by cooking. So I know
there are plenty of people who
feel that their diet is a we'll
balanced one: that they are eat
ing all the fruits and vegetables
they should when, as a matter
of fact, they are boiling their
vitamins away in the cooking.
You'll H0Ue
Certain Trouble
Just how serious this is for
the individual is shown by the
fact that this vitamin restores
growth and tones up the mus
cleS Of the bowels. II you are
going short on it, you are very
likely to have bowel trouble and
constipation.
Very often, too, this vitamin
is found beneficial in the treat
ment of arthritiS and neuritiS.
Sufferers from this complaint
have been known to derive re-
lief from Vitamin B when moth
ing else seemed to do them
much good.

who will say, But, doctor, I
can't eat raw fruits or vege-
tables" To these persons, I
would say that brewers yeast

Marjorie had been studying
French cooking in the provinces
and in Paris, and naturally she
wanted to go right to work on
crepe suzetteS and onion soup
au gratin.
Said Good-by
To Family Friend
So she bought her tickets for
Reno, packed her trunks and
drove out in the country with
her mother to say good-by to a
family friend. On the way home
she saw a farm. Instantly she
fell in love with it.
1t was in the rolling hills of
Maryland. There was a spring.
There were pear trees and apple
trees. There were fields of corn.
There was an ancient and
spacious barn which had been
reconstructed for a clubhouse
that failed. 1t was a perfect
setup. She had to have it for
her own. She knew beyond the
question of a doubt that here
was her destiny.
Contract Signed
In Short Order
Hurrying back to town, she
gathered in sister Genevieve
(the famous interior decorator),
who, true to form, was swept
away in the family enthusiasm
and in one and a half hours
time from the first moment she
clapped her eyes on the place
the papers were signed and
sealed and Marjorie Hendricks
Normandy Farms came into be-
ing.
Marjorie loves France and she
loves French cooking, so it was
no special hardship during the
depression when she was obliged
to discharge her French chef
and step into the kitchen her
self to train q local product in
the ways of "the fine herb"
That she did this successfully
is daily attested in the food that
comes on the tables in her coun-
try restaurant.
Does she still enjoy the coun-
try? She assuredly does, and
even now can scarcely wait to
get back to it from her rounds
of marketing and shopping in
Washington in connection with
her business.

Richie promised to bring up another
bill urging the Governor to pardon
Mooney.
The defeated proposal sponsored by
Mr.. Richie, was intended to grant
legislative pardon to Mooney on
grounds that he was convicted upon
false and perjured testimony"
The bill needed approval Of both
Assembly and Senate. The Senate
killed similar measure last year.
No one knew whether the Legis-
lature had power to grant pardon, q
question never ruled upon by Cali

Last years Assembly approved a

a pardon, but he said he would await

Tom MONEYS dramatic fight before
the State Assembly to win a legisla-

A unique bill to free Mooney from
San Quentin Prison, where he is
serving a life term for the 1915 San
Francisco Preparedness day bombing

met the same fate as every other at
tempt in his 2l-year fight for vindi-
cation.
After hearing Mooney himself re-
peat his oft-told story that he was
framed" the Assembly voted 80 to
IS to free him, but that was two votes
short Of the necessary majority of
80 members. Since two assemblymen
have died there actually are only 78
members. but the speaker ruled Al
was necessary for a majority.
Then began a long night session
during which the sergeant at arms

Bail of Gamblers
Aide Revoked
By JAMES J. CULLuNANE


While police continued their in
yestigation of the death Of Carroll
Peyton "Nubby' Nuchols, prohibi-
ton racketeer and gambler who
died Saturday with a bullet
through his brain. Justice Jesse
Adkins in District Court today sent
Lawrence F. Pisani, his first lieu
tenant, to Jail.
Bond on which Pisani had been
at liberty pending an appeal from
gambling conviction was revoked
by Justice Adkins because PiSani
had been captured with Nuchols
in a gambling raid last Thursday.
ATTENDED FUNERAL
pisani and Nuchols following
their arrest last week were or
dered to appear in court yester-
day to show cause why their
bonds should not be revoked. Pi-
sani's attorneys explained their
client was absent from the city
yesterday attending the funeral
of Nuchols in Richmond, Va.
Whispered rumors that Much
ols was murdered by underworld
rivals led detectives today to ana.
lyze the handwriting On the note
found with his body in which the
gambler asked the forgiveness Of
his wife.
SUICIDE is BELIEF
Inspector Bernard W. Thomp.
son, chief of detectives, said the
handwriting on the note addressed
to Nuchols' red-haired wife will
be checked with specimens Of the
gamblers handwriting, although
he is convinced Nuchols COM
nnitted suicide.

ends in this case," Inspector
Thompson said. when we got
the first flash on Nuckols' death,
web egan investigating it on the
theory he had been murdered
although all evidence at the
time pointed to suicide. We
did not accept the suicide theory
until the coroner had performed
an autopsy and found powder
marks inside the wound in
Nuckols' head and on his hand,
which showed he had held the
gun tightly against his temple"
Nuchols, it is known, had little
money for several weeks before his
death and it is reported he owed
large sums to the gambler who
was drinking cocktails downtown
when police reached the Connec
ticut Avenue apartment.
