That Pennsylvania Sen. James
]. Davis has been more successful
with U. s. Moose than his Tennessee
Valley authority investigating COM
mittee, was admitted last week.
From Washington to Knoxville, in
the heart of TWAS far-fung power
empire, the committee has dug for
facts, rumors and figures to estab-
lsh why ousted IVA Administrator
Arthur Morgan raised such hula
baloo last winter.
The committees aim, said Davis,
was to find the real, true yard
stick cost of power and the total
amount Of money going into IVA
development"
Last week, after spending more
than half the $4,000 appropriation,
Chairman Davis decided 85 per cent
of his rummaging was concerned
with uninteresting auditing and ac-
counting. Named to investigate for
the investigating committee was a
private investigator, M. c. Conick,
whose personal headache IVA now
becomes.

AUiatiOn

Since its birth shortly after the
World war, U. S. commercial avia-
ton has been bounced back and
forth by a dozen government agen-
cies, has suffered from repudiated
agreements and constantly chang
ing administration. Worst blow was
the government reputation of air.
mail contracts five years ago, an
experiment that ended in headaches
for all.
Last winter congress established
Civil Aeronautics authority to
manage commercial aviation per-
manently and sensibly. Its job: To
administer air mail contracts, su-
pervise commercial air lines and
private f1iers and study aviation
safety.
Last week the new authority took
over its job, two weeks before the
act goes into effect. AS Chairman
Elmer J. Noble of Greenwich, Conn,
walked into his Office for the first
time he hoped to regulate avia-
ton as successfully as another pol
icy-forming board, the Interstate
Commerce commission, has super.
vised railroading.

Guard Aqainst Contamination

Some states require the pasteur-
ization of the milk or cream used
in manufacturing ice cream; 9TH
ers stipulate that the entire mix
must be pasteurized before freez-
ing. These measures are desira-
BILE, as ice cream requires the
same scrupulous care that should
be given to milk and cream.
Because of the possibilities for
contamination, several precau-
tiOns should be observed in buy
ing ice cream. Choose cream
manufa ctured by a reputable con-
cern. Be sure to buy from a deal
er who keeps it well frozen, for
ice cream that has been melted
and frozen again may be danger
Gus, owing to the opportunity for
the multiplication of bacteria
while it was melted. See to it,
also, that the dealer uses sanitary
methods in dispensing.
An easy way to make certain of
the purity of the ice cream you
serve is to make this delicious
The Coolidge examiner., 1938-08-18
Effect on Digestion

One frequently hears the ques-
ton, Doesn't the eating of ice
cream retard the digestion of 9TH
er foods consumed at the same
time?" The answer is that it does
slow up slightly the emptying time
of the stomach but this delay is
without significance and is more
than compensated for by the i'm
portant nutrients it provides.
Many people believe that it is
injurious to follow ice cream with
hot coffee. But it has been dem
onstrated that just the opposite is
true. The coffee raises the tenn
perature of the food in the stOm-
ach and thus modifies the cooling
effect of the ice cream.
Another common question con-
Germs the effect of cake or pie 4
la mode. Experiments indicate
that eating ice cream with cake
or pie produces a more satisfac-
tory gastric juice than when either
of these foods is eaten alone One
must take into consideration, how
ever, that cake or pie a la mode is
a rich combination and plan the
remainder of the meal accord
ingly.

dessert at home. Motor-driven
freezers are available, as we'll as
those that are manually operated.
And the homemaker with an auto
matte refrigerator finds it easier
to make ice cream than to pre-
pare many less interesting and
nutritious desserts.
Ice cream powders which sim
plify the preparation of home
made ice cream, can be obtained
unfiavOred, or in a variety of fla
vOrs, including lemon and maple,
in addition to the popular vanilla,
chocolate and strawberry. The ice
cream powders may be used with
milk or combination of milk and
cream to produce a healthful des-
sert suitable for every member of
the family. They also may be used
for less rich but equally refresh
ing milk or buttermilk sherbets.
A canned freezing mix is like
wise available and is especially
nice in a fruit flavor as it con-
tains pieces of the whole fruit.

to terminate these endless Incl
dents" Foreign Minister Litvinoff
matched Tokyo's proposals with an
even better set:
ID Immediate cessation Of hos
tilities, with mutual withdrawal
behind fixed line
90 That line to be determined by
the Russ-China treaty Of June 26,
1886.
90 Appointment of a bilateral
commission, two Russians, one
Manchukuan, one Jap, to negotiate
for redemarcation of the line on
basis of the 1886 treaty.
While Japan boasted after two
weeks that l,500 Russ soldiers had
been killed and wounded against 180
on her own side, two tattered Soviet
deserters walked into her Siberian
camp to air their grievances against
Moscow.
They deserted because their ia

been heavily taxed, heavily op-
pressed in the Soviet drive for col
lective agriculture. Our slogan is

one said, but how can we soldiers

horses and even their barns are
taken away"
To Japan il looked like Russia's
poor Siberian administration was
her ally.
@ Last week weary japanese troops
were still more than 100 miles down
the flooded Yangtze river from their
goal, Nanking. long since deserted
by the Chinese government. While
defending troops claimed the invad-
ers had been repelled in battle after
battle, crafty Japs were evidently
resorting TO brains instead of Drawn
to capture another part of China.
In the past Manchuria and Peking
governments were undermined by
palm-rubbing Tokyo agents and dis
gruntled Chinese officials. Result
in each case has been a puppet
state, completely divorced from Chi
ma. Last week at peaceful Canton,
only a few miles from Britain's
Hongkong, came reports of secret
negotiations to sway South China
from the central government.
Promising to prevent recurrence
of disastrous bombings which left
Canton a bloody shambles last
month, Jap agents would set up an
independent government closely al
lied to Tokyo.
Meanwhile Japan refused to stop
her bombing attacks on Canton. For
two successive days last week war
planes swooped down with their car

Politics

If Franklin Roosevelt ever
planned to purge" his Democratic
party of undesirables, he now knows
the purge has failed. On the presi-
Dental black list may have been
Iowa's Gillette, Nevada's McCarran,
Colorado's Adams, and Missouri's
Clark. BY last week these New Deal
haters were either renominated or
assured Of winning their state pri-
maries at the expense of administra-
tion favorites.
News of purge failure has recent
ly sent the most dour conservative
into ecstasies. For once, it appears,
Franklin Roosevelts domination
over the party is at ebb tide. But
last week few foes began thinking
instead of effervescing:
Is purge failure helping untangle
badly twisted United States political
lines? Decidedly the contrary. Is
purge failure eliminating Franklin
Roosevelt as a third termer? Prob
ably not.
Originally the purge idea sought
to transform the Democratic party
into an instrument of coherent lib
eralism, implying formation of an
equally coherent conservative party
on the other side. But when con-
gress convenes next winter the Unit
ed States will see instead a hodge
podge of multi-colored political
thought from which little but bicker-
ing can be expected.
Deeply tanned from his 20day
fishing trip to tropical Pacific wa
ters, Franklin Roosevelt was back
in his 48 states last week, still mum
about third term rumors that have
kept newsmen busy since he left.
Of all rumors, most thought-provok-
ing was that purge failure robs the
President of party control, robs him
also of the right to name success
sor in 1910. Not willing to be robbed,
enthusiastic New Dealer Roosevelt
would rather run himself than pass
the mantle to a less ardent New
Dealer.

A Healthful Food

1t then becomes apparent why
ice cream is considered as an
excellent food, not only for adults
but for children and GONZALES
cents, and why one outstanding
authority urges the liberal use of
ice cream as means of increas-
ing the vitamin A content of the
diet.
Plain ice cream may be used in
terchangeably with simple milk
puddings. Rich mixtures, such
as those filled with nuts and crys-
tallized fruits, rank with the heart
ier desserts and should follow a
lighter meal.

story: In Bechuanaland lives Ra-

Q Twenty thousand bathers at New

down the beach, killing three, telling
hundreds. Next day investigators
wondered if a huge steel bridge.

On the next day =. tohen they heard
that Jesus iCds coming tools
branches OF palm trees, and tcent forth
to meet Him, and cried, HOsdnna;
Blessed is the king of Israel that coHl-
eth in the name of the Lord.
Thus wrote st. John IN Biblical
days. Since then his words have
been unchanged, but last week
American clergymen began study
ing the Bible as rewritten under
Adolph Hitler's direction to conform
with Germany's Nazi ideology.. SAID
the Nazifed ST. John:
Then they took green branches,
went to meet him and cried: HE'LL
to him that comes in the name Of
God. HE'LL to thee, thou shalt be
our king"
Eliminated are all references to
sin, heaven and the Hebrew proph-
cts, for the Nazi heaven is now to
be found in Germany alone.

Use More Ice Cream

It has been estimated that FIVE
billion pounds of milk are used
each year in the production of
commercial ice cream, which pro-
vides about three gallons of ice
cream per capita. The amounts
of ice cream made at home will
raise this figure somewhat. But
the amount consumed may well
be further increased, because
when properly made from pure
ingredients, ice cream deserves to
rank with other dairy products
among our most wholesome and
nOurishing foods.

Since 1881, when Japan marched
into Manchuria, Tokyo and Moscow
have been Ion the brink of war"
Last week they appeared to be fight
ing two wars: In one, at the iso-
lated 1-Manchukuan-K Korean
frontier nobody knew who was win
ming. In the other, being waged in
the Moscow office of Soviet Foreign
Minister Maxim Litvinoff, it ap-
peared that Russia had the upper
hand.
Amidst a barrage of incidents,
communiques and curt notes, Asia's
two powers were attempting to set

The nasty word Communism"
hung like a spectre last week before
the eyes of c. l. o. Mogul John L.

his henchmen were having trouble.
Ex-Preacher Homer Martin, who
heads 375, 900 members Of the c. l.

found himself marked for liquida-
ton by the four vice presidents he
recently found guilty Of consorting
with Communists. Their charge:
That Martin himself has been con-
sorting with President Jay Love

Labor league.
To bewildered c. I. o. workers it
appeared that u. A. W.. S trouble was
simply a fight between Stalinist
Communists and Lovestone Commu-
nists, each willing to fight for their
own beliefs no matter how many
unions are destroyed. Standing on
the sidelines at Detroit awaiting the
opportune moment was A. F. of L. s
Francis Dillon who headed the U. A.

Composition Of Ice Cream
Ice cream is often regarded as
a confection, but it deserves to be
classed among our most nutritious
foods. 1t is composed of varying
proportions of cream, milk, sugar,
flavoring and frequently binder
or stabilizer such as gelatin. The
composition varies somewhat be-
tween the homemade and the
commercial product, and the COM
mecial product differs in various
states. That is because standards
governing the butter fat content
differ widely so that the require
ment ranges from to IA per cent.
Most large commercial companies
