States Housing Administrator Ma
than Straus and Brig. Gen. John J.
Kingman, acting chief of United
States army engineers.
Outlining his plans for use of fed
eral funds allocated his agency,
Hopkins said that the purchase of
materials alone for WPA projects
will give indirect, full-tirne private
jobs to 100000 workers, in addition
to relief jobs for the unemployed.
"And so the WPA money flows,
like the blood in the human body,
giving life and strength to the eco
nomic system all the way from its
toes to the top of its head" he said.
Secretary Wallace said that under
the new agricultural legislation the
farmer is in good shape to do his
part in the recovery drive.
Gray, who has been administering
PWA affairs in the absence of In
terror Secretary Ickes, said that the
spending of money set aside for
public works under the recovery
program should result in industry's
receiving 81 ,0OO,0 900 in orders in
the next two years.
Straus outlined his agency's pro-
gram OF slum-clearance and low
cost housing and said that it will
result in increased employment and
the creation of that finest and most
needed of all commodities-better
homes for Americans"

List of Cdlcium-Rich Foods

I have prepared a list of foods
rich in calcium which / shall
gladly send to homemakers upon
request. I urge every woman to
write for this list and use it in
planning the daily diet of herself,
her husband and children.
You really need such a list in
order to avoid the grave conse-
quences of calcium deficiency, for
so many of our common foods are
calcium poor that it is possible for
a diet to be abundant and varied,
and still be inadequate in respect
to calcium.
The list of calcium-containing
foods will help you do perfect
job of building strong, fine bodies
for your children.
There is no joy like the joy of
creating perfect, healthy children
The architect and the sculptor
stand in awe before the realiza-
ton of their dreams. But you, the
mothers of children, the builders
of their bodies, you are the might
lest of all. A diet adequate in cal
cium, for you and your children,
will help you build beautifully,
wisely and well. Your reward viii
be the joy, the pride, the heart
warming satisfaction of having ae-
complished a worthwhile purpose.

WAGE Law Effects

NTRAIN of the new wage and hour
- law on industry, say labor ex-
perts in Washington, will be eased
by the existing unsettled economic
conditions. They size up the stu
alton thus:
At industry's present pace not
more than 100000 wage earners in
manufacturing industries would get
more pay.
The big high speed industrial ma
chimes, such as automobile plants,
hardly will be touched by the law.
1t will affect certain garment fac
tories and very small number Of
textile mills.
1t will affect the fertilizer industry
of the South and southern sawmills.
Even when business is as good as
it was last summer, unofficial es-
Inmates indicate that only about
100000 factory workers would be
affected by the Is cent wage mini
mum of the law, and somewhat
more than 1000, 900 workers would
find their hours shortened by a "A
hour weekly limit, effective next
October.
At the outset the laws effect will
be to improve "the worst condi-
tons" in certain industries engaged
in interstate commerce, the econ
omists believe.
Child labor provisions will affect
mainly scattered minors working at
odd jobs in various mills and fac
tories.

Questions Answered

Mrs. F. r. T.-There is no such
thing as a specific brain food, but
nutritionists are convinced that
the quality and efficiency of the
functioning of the mind depends
partially on the character of the
food consumed. Mental efficiency
appears to be influenced by the
quantity and quality of the pro-
tein in the diet, and it has been
demonstrated that the vegetable
proteins, including cheese, milk
and eggs are superior in biologi-
cal value.
C. j. Kit is a fallacy to as
sumo that garlic is a blood puri-
fer. Garlic improves the taste OF
food for those who like it, but
it cannot be considered to possess
special health properties.

Roper Is Optimistic

THAT there will be business up
L turn, certainly by autumn and
possibly earlier, is the prediction of
Secretary of Commerce Roper.
Natural economic factors" he
said in prepared statement,
coupled with the influence of con-
structive legislation, point the way
to an early favorable trend in the
business cycle for which business
should Immediately make adequate
preparation.
The railroad situation, Roper
said, is the most disturbing factor
in the present economic picture,
and it may make necessary a spe-
cial session of congress. He de-
clared the condition of the roads
is getting progressively worse and
is very serious. He saw hope, how
ever, in prospect Of bumper crops
in the Midwest which would in
crease the demand for transporta-
ton.

Adults Require Calcium

Adults have a vital need for cal
cium. A lack of this mineral not
only results in defective teeth, but
may also be responsible for nerv-
BUSINESS, quivering and twitching
of the muscles and defective heart
action.
To be normal, the full-grown hui
man body must contain more cal
cium than any other mineral ele-
ment. Yet, every individual is, of
necessity, born calcium-poor. For
if the bones were as rigid as they
must eventually become, the or
deal of birth would be too difficult
for both mother and child.

How to Obtdin Calcium

Milk is an outstanding source OF
calcium. That is why it should
form the cornerstone of every bal
anced diet. Cheese, which is milk
in concentrated form, is likewise
notable in this respect, and one
and one-fOurth ounces of Ameri-
can Cheddar cheese are the ap-
prOximate equivalent of an eight
ounce glass of milk. Leaf and
stem vegetables are richer in cal
cium than other vegetables or
fruits, but while their calcium has
been found to be well-absorbed by
adults, it is not so readily avail
able to children.
Among the vegetables, however,
there is a wide variation, turuip
tops and dandelion greens provid-
ing unusually large amounts.

Senator Copeland Dead

EXHAUSTED by his labors and
- the heat in Washington, United
States Senator Royal S. Copeland
of New York died just before the
adjournment of congress. He was
in the sixteenth year of his service in
the senate and had been an indefati-
gable worker. He was a consistent
opponent of many of the admins
tration's policies and was one OF
the leaders in the fight against the
court packing and government re-
organization measures.
Gov. Herbert H. Lehman an.
nounced that he was willing to be a
candidate for Copeland's seat if the
Democratic party wished to nomi-
nate him.

packing cotton fabric on top of this,
and then covering the cotton with
another layer of tar. The cotton
layers cost f120 a mile.
None OF these cotton pads shows
signs of wear or cracking and their
total cost is far lower than that of
ordinary roads. If they are found
to be as lasting as other roads, the
idea will mean boom in cotton
growing, and will create a ready
solution to the surplus cotton prob
lem which has always been worry
to cotton-growers.

Japanese Bomb Swallow

JAPANESE planes made three de-
structive raids on Swallow, a
treaty port 220 miles northeast of
Canton. Their bombs ruined the
power plant and railroad station.
The United States gunboat Asheville
stood by to protect the SO Ameri-
cans in the consular district. It
was believed this was the start of a
great offensive designed to cut off
Canton from the central battlefront.
Referring to Hankow reports of
possible mediation by third power,
Japanese spokesman in Shanghai
said: Japan will continue to fight
until Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek is overthrow. If Chang would
only jump in the Yangtze river or
otherwise dispose of himself, japan
would be highly satisfied"

Position of Windows

In planning home the position
of windows is something that de-
serves very serious consideration.
The location of the aperture is as
important as its size. The best light
comes from the top of the window
and is thrown farther back in the
room and increases the reflected
light of the room. In terms of ven-
tilating value the window that is
higher serves best, as the hot air
rises and is therefore more readily
carried off.

German Spies Indicted

persons were indicted as spies by a
federal grand jury in New York.
Moreover, no secret was made of
the fact that they are charged with

ment, engaged in obtaining informa-
ton concerning our national de-
tense.
Four OF the defendants are in this
country and will be tried here. The
others, including three German Off
GERS, are abroad.

persons persisted, most of them be-

This was the worst railroad wreck

The eleven-car train ran into a

GoebbeIs AssaiIs Jews

THOUGH the attacks on Jews in
= Berlin and other German cities
were officially deplored by the Nazi
government, Paul Joseph Goebbels,
minister of propaganda, further
stirred the anti-semitic sentiment in
speech before huge gathering in
Berlin, demanding that all Jews be
eliminated from business.
'The foreign press laments that
Jewish stores are Marked" Goeb-
bells said, referring to the smearing
of store fronts with the word "Jew"
in red paint. 81 do not approve of
this either, but it is a good thing
to know which are Jewish shops.
We will take legal measures to cur
tail their businesses. They will soon
disappear. The Jews incite us by
their very presence.

Calcium Starvation

The mineral calcium is to the
human body what steel and stone
are to a building. 1t is necessary
to construct the bony framework.
The mother who fails to consume
adequate calcium before her baby
is born, or fails to give the child
adequate calcium throughout the
growing years, is as guilty as the
contractor who constructs a school
building of poor materials.
Without sufficient calcium, the
bones become soft and porous.
They break easily and knit slowly
after they are broken. They may
bend and twist during growth, SO
that the child who is victim of
calcium deficiency may become
b0w-legged and deformed, with a
malformed chest or enlarged fore
head. Rickets-that horrible de-
ficiency disease which causes
stunted mis-shapen bodies-may
develop. And so may tetany-an-
other scourge of childhood.

Crooked Defective Teeth

The teeth, too, depend upon cal
cium for the soundness of their
structure. When this precious
mineral is inadequately provided,
the baby teeth may soon decay;
the permanent teeth may come
in crowded and unsightly-and
quickly develop cavities.
There are also many other ways
that calcium deficiency may han
dicap your children. For this min
eral is intimately concerned with
all the body processes. 1t in
creases the strength and pulsa-
tions of the heart; helps the blood
to cOagulate in case of injury,
thus effectively aiding in prevent
ing hemorrhage. 1t strengthens
the resistance of the body in fever
and other diseases. 1t tones up
the nervous system, lessening
nervous tension.
