Three Billion Bill Passed


QYA vote of 328 to 70 the house Of
- Representatives passed the Pres
ident's three billion dollar spending
bill and sent 1t on to the senate.
This action came during turbulent
session.
A motion to send the bill back to
committee so that state administra-
ton of relief might be substituted
for federal supervision was defeated.
In addition to direct appropria-
tions calling for the expenditure OF
2 billion SIG million dollars, the
measure carried authorizations to
spend an additional 635 millions OF
dollars, making total of 8 billion
1854 million dollars which may be
spent by the administration in an
endeavor to fight the depression.
The biggest fight came on move
to strike from the bill a section al
lowing states and municipalities to
exceed their constitutional debt linn
itations. This motion was defeated,
80 to So.
The farm bloc put over two amend
ments. One makes farmers eligible
for relief whether or not they are
found to be in need If they can
prove they are out of work. The
other provides that farmers need
not be in needy circumstances to
benefit from free fertilizer provided
by the WPA.

The new premier also announced
a five point program for social and
economic reconstruction which he
said his government would push
through without delay. He said Hun
gary's foreign policy would remain
unchanged.
Just before it stepped out the Du-
ranyi government put through the
house of deputies an anti-Jewish bill,
and it was thought Imredi would en-
force its provisions if the upper
house approves it.
Slender, clean shaven, quick wit
ted, and a polished debater as well
as an astute financier, Imredi
speaks several languages and has
winning personality. He has wide
range of interests, including art and
music. He looks forty, but is near
er fifty.

Two Forms Of Anemio

Anemia may be due to loss of
blood, deficient blood formation,
or to increased blood destruction
in the body. The different forms
of the disease are sometimes clas-
sified as primary and secondary
anemia.
Primary anemia is usually
known as pernicious anemia. It
is a grave condition in which the
marrow of the bones has lost its
power to make red blood cells.
Secondary or nutritional anemia
may result from loss of blood in
an accident, or it may follow a
long, infectious illness. For any
infection lowers the iron reserve
in the body. But the most COM

Questions Answered

Miss B. T.-For a normal adult,
sufficient vitamin A will be pro-
vided by the generous use of milk,
cheese, butter, eggs and yellow
and green 1eafy vegetables.
Mrs. A. Gone should never
eat when fatigued, tense or nerv-
Gus. Under such conditions, al
most any food will be difficult to
digest.
Mrs. B. A.-Fried eggs are not
recommended for children under
the age of eight.
Mrs. M. R.-A vitamin c def
cheney, which has gone on over a
long period of time, may contrib
ute to the development Of pyor-
rhea. Vitamin c can be obtained
from citrus fruits, tomatoes,
strawberries and raw leafy vege-
tables, such as cabbage.
Mrs. n. b. C.-Yes, it is true
that cooking vegetables leads to a
reduction of their carbohydrates,
the amount being determined by
the structure of the food; the
method and length of cooking; the
amount of water used; and the
size of the pieces. Generally
speaking, there is decrease of
one-third to one-haf of the carbo-
hydrates after cooking in water.
Relocating vegetables further de-
stroys their carbohydrates.
X. B. M.-The theory that pro-
teins and carbohydrates cannot be
efficiently digested at the same
time has no scientific basis. Many
foods-as cereals and dried leg
umes-contain large amounts Of
both proteins and carbohydrates.
Moreover, it has been demonstrate
ed that the average mixed diet
has a distinctly higher digestibil-
ity rating than Individual classes
of foods.

While the suspension of relations
is direct outgrowth of the oil sci

mas action was what he considered
Britain's ''insolent' methods in de-
manding a claims annuity of $685.

ages to British interests in revo-
luton years ago. Foreign Minister
Eduardo Hay handed check for
the amount to Minister O'Malley,
told him of the recall of Minister
Michel, and said: "May I be al
lowed, however, to call your excel
lency's attention to the fact that not
even powerful states with ample re-
sources at their disposal can boast
of having fulfilled their monetary
obligations.
This, of course, was an allusion
to Britain's reputation of her war
debt to the United States.

Viscount Halifax, British foreign
secretary, took up the Mexican af-
fair on his return from Geneva. An
important factor in the situation is
consideration of Britain's oil supply
if war should come in Europe.
When Mexico seized the oil prop
critics both Great Britain and the
United States protested, but later
Secretary of State Hull formally ac-
knowledged Mexico's right to take
the step. Britain, however, twice
demanded prompt return of the
properties. Mexico rejected the
British contention.

In many young people the blood
does not function normally, though
frequently parents are unaware
that anything is wrong. You may
scold them for being lazy, for
lacking interest in their work, or
never needing the things you tell
them, when the real trouble is due
to iron starvation which, if long
continued, may lead to anemia.
The person who has tendency
toward anemia usually tires cas-
lily and lacks pep; complains of
cold hands and feet; worries over
trifles, and may have a complex
ion that is anything but rosy.
The great danger of an iron
deficient diet is that it deprives
the body Of its chief defense
against disease. For when the
quality of the blood is poor, one
becomes an easy prey to infection.
Moreover, If a serious illness oc-
ours, lowered resistance makes it
difficult to fight it off.

THE United States Supreme court
= ordered the Circuit Court of APP
peals at Philadelphia to show cause
why its orders against the national
labor relations board in the Repub-
lie Steel company case should not
be vacated. The circuit court re-
fused to permit the labor board to
withdraw its case against the steel
company for the purpose of insti-
tuting further proceedings and thus
averting judicial scrutiny of its con-
duct. The lower court also re-
strained the board from taking any
further proceedings in the Republic
case pending the certification of the
transcript of the record.
In another case involving the Ia

Revenue Bill Enacted

THE 300 million dollar revenue
4 act of 1888, as patched up by
senate and house conferees, was
finally sent to the White House for
the Presidents signature. The COM
promise measure retains a vestige
of the undistributed profits tax,
enough to save the administrator
face. But the tax is limited to the
calendar years 1888 and 1899 and it
is expected to die then.
Under the act, corporations earn
ing more than $4,000 will pay a
maximum rate of 10 per cent if no
earnings are distributed in divi-
dends and a minimum of 1914 per
cent if all earnings are distributed.
There is a credit of 21s per CEN
against the maximum tax on the
amount of dividends paid.

How Much Iron?

It is believed that about 10 per
cent of the total hemoglobin in
adults is destroyed daily. And for
this reason iron-rich foods must be
included in the diet every day.
Investigators have found it diff
cult to determine the exact iron
requirement, but according to the
latest estimates, from IL to Is
milligrams a day will not only
provide adequately for bodily re-
quirements, but will allow rea-
sonable reserve.

Iron-Rich Foods

To maintain top health and pre-
vent the possibility of nutritional
anemia, the homemaker must
learn to meet the daily iron re-
quirement of her family and not
leave this vital matter to chance.
Iron-rich foods include egg
yolk, liver, molasses, dried beans
and peas, whole grain cereals,
lean meat and green leafy vege-
tables. While milk has only
small amount Of iron, experiments
show that its iron is readily abb
sorbed and is utilized to good ad-
vantage.
Eggs are such an excellent
source of iron that one egg yields
about one-tenth of the standard
requirement. Lean meat furnishes
a considerable amount, but liver is
so much richer that it should be
eaten frequently. Dried beans are
inexpensive and when baked with
molasses become a good source
of iron.
1t is a pity that parsley is so
often used only as a garnish, be-
cause it has a higher iron con-
tent than most green leafy vege-
tables. Though potatoes contain
only a moderate amount of iron,
they are usually consumed in sui
ficient quantities to make them
significant source.

Women Need More Than Men

Women require more iron than
men, in proportion to the body
weight, to make good the losses
that occur during the menses. Ex-
pectant mothers need a generous
amount Of iron, not only to pro-
vide for their own needs and for
the normal development of the
fetus, but to create a reserve sup
ply In the baby's body which will
last through the period Of lacta-
ton.
The percentage Of iron in the
baby's body is about three times
that of the adult. Nature has
wisely designed this reserve to
make up for the low iron content
of milk which constitutes the chief
food during the first six months of
life. Nutrition authorities believe,
however, that better health re-
suits when an iron-rich food, such
as egg-yolk, is introduced very
early into the diet. This helps to
prevent the slight anefnia which
was formerly regarded as unim-
portant, but which is now recog-
nized as making the baby more
susceptible to infection and re-
tarding growth.
4
Children's Requirement High
1t is desirable to keep the iron
intake at a high level throughout
childhood, for it has been discov-
cred that better health results
when a surplus is allowed above
the daily requirement. But there
is a very special need for iron in
girls from the beginning of ado
lescence through the eighteenth
year. ,s

mitments for united defense against

Her foreign minister, Jose Mario
Cantilo, lost no time in repudiating,
as far as Argentina is concerned, the
idea Of hemisphere defense when it
was broached several weeks ago by
President Roosevelt. He has now
carried to the conference what he
presumably hopes will take the place
Of the American project.
While not denying the merit Of
any agreement which aims to mod

one finds it difficult to understand

No Similarity Seen in
Humphrey and Smith Cases.

To the Editor OF The STAR
For one supposed to be well versed in
current issues and rated as a class-one
commentator, 1t seems to us that David
Lawrence is little confused.
In his article of November 20 in The
Evening Star Mr.. Lawrence deplores the
assumed opposition of Congress to the
reappointment of Donald Wakefield
Smith for second-term membership on
the Labor Relations Board. He cites the
similarity of the Smith case to the Presi-
dents court packing plan and the dis
missal of the late William E. Humphrey,
member of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion, but we fail to see where there is
anything remotely in common between
the cases of Humphrey and Smith. Mr..
Humphrey was member of the Federal
Trade Commission with an mexpired
term and the Congress was not con-
suited in his dismissal, whereas Mr..
Smith is an ex-member Of the Labor
Relations Board slated for reappoint-
ment. Congress, according to the law
and the powers vested In 1t by law, may
for good reason, or for no reason at all,
vote for rejection Of any member Of any
commission placed before 1t for con-
firmation
We call this to the attention Of Mr..
Lawrence in the hope that he will see
his mistake. r. H. DORSEY.

MogisteriuI Profits

Governor-elect Herbert R. O'Conor
OF Maryland is heading in the right
direction when he proposes a thor
ough reorganization of the magis-
trate system in the State, eliminating
the fee system and scores of road
side" courts.
The whole system under which
these minor courts are now set up
and financed has the musty smell of
medievalism. Under the fee plan the
part-time magistrates receive a por-
ton OF all fines they assess as their
only pay. No convictions, no pay.
There are convictions. In fact, the
abuses to which the system is exposed
have become so common that organ
izationS of motorists, class most
frequently victimized, must always be
on the alert to protect their members
from exploitation.
The next Governor of the Free
State plans to seek a constitutional
amendment under which the old
system would be outlawed, more CEN
trail courts established in the coun-
ties, and their magistrates paid
salaries. This is step which has
been taken in many other States in
recent years, and one which the cit
liens of all States should consider
necessary. The profit has no
place in legal procedure.

Two-Wuy Aid

The proposal again advanced for
helping railroads to cut their interest
burden through a procedure involv-
ing Federal income tax concessions
offers the possibility of benefitting
the Government as well as the car
riers.
Under the plan, the Government
would waive income taxes on any
paper profits that might result when
the railroads bought in their own Sc
curties at less than par. On its face,
this appears entirely in favor Of the
railroads. But when the fact is taken
into consideration that many OF
the lines are falling far short Of
making their fixed charges, and that
any reduction in these charges adds
that much to the net profits which
are subject to taxation, the matter
appears in a different light.
At the worst, 1t would seem, the
Governments loss would be confined
to the extent of the tax waiver in the
year in which any securities transac-
ton took place. Thereafter, granting
that earnings of carriers involved
remained at least on the same level,
the Government would be compen-
sated by having a larger base against
which to levy taxes.
The tax concession principle was
incorporated in the 1888 tax bill as
1t passed the Senate, but was knocked
out in the House. 1t now has support
from three members of the Senate
Finance Committee - Vandenberg,
Republican, and Herring and King,
Democrats. On the other hand, Sem
ator Truman, Democrat, doubts its
practicability, expressing belief that
most of the lines could not obtain
funds for such purpose. With this
contention, Senator Vandenberg dis
agrees.
The source of the money that the
railroads would need to finance pur-
chase of their old securities, and the
terms of new borrowings, obviously
would be major considerations in 60
Ing through with the plan.
