Judge and jury in the William j
Nolan false pretenses trial adjourned
to the District Courthouse kitchen to-
day to witness a violet ray demonstra-
ton, by which the Government hopes
to prove that an important document
introduced by the defense is spurious
The demonstration, conducted by
Samuel F. Pickering. ace technical ex-
pert of the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION. followed testimony by Mr.
Pickering that his examinations of the
document had convinced him that the
upper two-thirds Of the letter did not
match the lower one-third
The letter. which bears the sigma
ture of R. M. Sigwald, former Wash
ington manager for the Universal
Credit Co. is considered vital part OF
Nolan's defense. Nolan is charged with
obtaining $4,000 from the Universal
Credit Co. by selling it As conditional
sales contracts for automobiles sold by
his firm. which previously had been
discounted at the Munsey Trust Co.
Purport Of Letter.
The explanation offered by Nolan,
who headed the bankrupt Nolan Mo-
tor Co.. is that Mr.. Sigwald knew the
contracts had been deposited at the
Munsey Trust Co. and accepted the
duplicate contracts supposedly with
the understanding that it was a re-
financing deal.
The letter. authenticity of which
has been challenged by Assistant
United States Attorney John j. Will
son. is dated March 80, 1896, and
purports to show that Mr.. Sigwald
knew the original sales contracts had
been discounted at the Munsey
Trust Co.
The questioned letter appears to
have come apart just above the sig
nature of Mr.. Sigwald and to have
been bound together with tape Mr.
Wilson has tried to show that Mr.
Siewald's signature is genuine, but
the upper portion of the document
has been faxed.
Says Color Different.
Mr.. PICKERING, VINO is graduate OF
the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology and served IS years as a Bureau
of Standards scientist, testified the
two parts of the letter had slightly
different colors under the violet ray
In order that the jury might see for
itself the alleged difference, Justice
Joseph w. Cox adjourned to the

A FASCIST TAX"

never made a greater error. The OBJ
lection to the undistributed preiits
tax is fundamental, and nothing can
change the American business mans
conviction that ITS basic principle is
wrong. The reason that business
is waiting so breathlessly for the
answer that will be made to the
problem of the undistributed profits
tax is that it fears the government
is willing to sacrifice even the SCUM
dest of business principles in favor
of extending its control over our
economic life"
In other words, this tax is appar-
emily part of a planned and insidi-
Gus campaign to subject American
industry to a form of Federal con-
troll that is the very opposite of
democracy, and that is very close 10
Fascism of the German and Italian
brand. Extend the principle of this
tax far enough, and business ineVtt-
ably becomes weak and dependent,
and finally a ward of the govern
ment. There is no other possible re-
suit.
This tax must be repealed to pre-
serve our American system OF gov
ernment.

Wertheim, liberal banker and for

tive move the administrator could
make to end this quarrel between
business and government" would he
to handle the undistributed profits
tax problem so that only unreason-
ably refined earnings would be pen
allied.
MFR. Wertheim attacks this prob
lem from a new direction. He be-
lieves that the money involved by
the tax-impOrtant as it is, because
of its adverse effect on industrial
expansion and betterment-is the
least important phase of the ques-
tiOn. For, he writes. "At the outset
one must realize that sore of the
originatOrs of the undi3tributed pro-
fits tax seem to have conceived it as
part of a program to establish
broad governmental control of our

THE VALUE OF EGGS AS A FOOD
BY Miss Matilda r. Wish
of SMYRNA

by MISS Mdtllud y. WISH
of Smyrna
Prize winning essay in the Delaware
State Poultry Association Contest
The modern housewife of today is
constantly coneocting menus that
will supply her family with a bal
anced dietary. She knows that all OF
the Protective Foods" are neces-
sary for health. They are called
Protective Foods" because, IL eaten
in proper amounts, they supply the
needed amount of proteins, miner
ais. fats and vitamfns. Many people
overlook the fact that eggs are one
of these foods; but housewives are
becoming more aware OF the great
food value of eggs.
Eggs contain all of the foOdstuffs,
except carbohydrates. and are thus
important in keeping the mechanism
OF our bodies in good repair and
rIinning smoothly. The yolk Of the
egg has more food value than the
white. The yolk contains fat, pro-
teins, minerals and vitamins A, B.
d and c., while the white contains
proteins, vitamin G. and some min
erals.
The prOteins are used for the
building and repairing OF tissues.
Eggs furnish a rich source of iron
and phosphorus. The iron is used
to furnish the element from which
the red cOrpuscles of the blood are
made. Phosphorus is necessary for
the proper formation OF bones and
teeth. Eggs are a richer source Of
iron than milk; but milk contains
more calcium. Thus eggs and milk
make a good combination because
what eggs lack. milk supplies and
what milk lacks. eggs supply.
Eggs are especially rich in vita
minis a and ID. Vitamin A prevents
diseases OF the eyes. nose throat
and respiratory tract. Thus We see
that vitamin 4 Is a very important
element and would prevent many
colds. IL eaten in proper amounts.
The most important source of
Vitamin ID, aside from fish oils, is
found in the yolk Of eggs. Vitamin
ID, the sunshine vitamin" 81 neces-
sary for the proper bone formation
and when absent causes ricketts,.
Aside from their food values. eggs
serve many other uses. They give
color and add flavor to menu.
They are used as a leavening agent
in cakes and sOuffles, and are used
TO thicken custards and sauces. As
eggs contain no sugar or starch |
they combine well with cereals and |
vegetables.
Eggs when cooked properly are
easily digested and can he absorbed
completely. They should not be
cooked at a high temperature as this
toughens the albumen.
The exterior quality OF eggs is
by their shape and size,
texture of she'll and cleanliness. The
quality is determined by the
OF thick albumen around
a well shaped yolk. Eggs of poor
quality have thin. watery albumen
and a fiattened yolk. the membrane
Of which breaks easily.
Eggs that are to be stored should
never be washed because they spoil
more quickly. Heat and loss a
moisture are great enemies of eggs
and cause the albumen to become
hin and watery. A 8 eggshells are.
porous they should be kept from
my strong fiavors that the eggs
night absorb.
Let us then, the future generation
" Delaware. realize to the full ex-
ent the food value of eggs and by
heir daily use improve the nutri-
:nn standard OF Delaware people.
