Me- ais for a Day
Discussed by
Miss Faust

Meals for a Day" was the topic
for the project leaders training
meeting conducted last Friday by
Miss Hilda Faust, extension speci-
alist in foods and nutrition, for
some "a home department leaders.
Miss Faust began her discussion
by emphasizing the necessity of
providing well balanced meals for
the family. pointing out that the
three meals for the day must be
considered in securing the best bal
anced diet for the individuals, with
the proper proportion of protein,
minerals, vitaminS, etc. One meal
alone might we'll have the ap-
petite appeal and staying powers
necessary and when balanced with
the other two during the day, Sc
cure the proper proportions even
though in itself the perfect balance
was not maintained.
Protective foods as defined by the
nutrition committee of the League
of Nations, were discussed, the def
milton included the point that pro-
tective foods vary somewhat for
different regions. For the United
States the protective foods are:
eggs, milk, fruits and vegetables,
and while yet not officially includ-
ed, there is no doubt said Miss
Faust, that the Vitamin B complex
should be included which is found
in its most usable form in whole
grain cereals and their products.
The group then selected an i'm
aginary family, made lists of gro
ceries and planned three meals a
day for this family, checking their
lists as to quantity and cost.

Incorrect Statement
In Obituary Article

An article in The Star of July 26
incorrectly stated that Mrs. Laura
Richardson Wells, who died July q
in Atlantic City, N j.. was the widow
of Henry Thomas Wells. Mrs. Wells
was the widow of Henry Wells, for
merly of Stockbridge, Mass.
Daughter of the late James Rich
ardson and Laura Clifford Richard
son of st. Louis, Mo, Mrs. Wells was
married in 1886. Her husband was
the son of the late Thomas and
Gertrude Perrine Wells of Stock
bridge. A graduate of Amherst Col
lege, Mr.. Wells was Eastern manager
OF the Hydraulic Press Brick Co. of
st. Louis and later became a real
estate dealer and representative of
the Hartford and Aetna fire insur-
ance companies. He was also at one
time director of the American Sc
curity & Trust Co.
Mrs. Wells had been i'll some time
prior to her death, having been in
jured in a fall. A resident of the

should be left to Congress.
To the augmented Board of Com
missioners he would assign such ad-
ministrative functions as now held
by Congress to name streets and fix
the time of turning street lights on
and off.
If the Commissioners should be
given the authority to control Dis
trict taxes and appropriations, Mr..
Dirksen declared, some of the men,
bers of Congress who are crying
the loudest for turning over the local
government wholly to the District
would be the first to squawk if such
a thing actually were done"
Attorney General Murphy, in ex-
planning his objections to the law
department that would be created
under the Kennedy bill, declared:
THE division of the function of
conducting criminal prosecutions
between the two Offices Department
of Justice and the United States
attorney for the DISTRICT that would
result from these provisions ap-
pears to be highly undesirable as
not in the interest of either eff
cheney or economy.
Similarly, the proposed trans
fer OF part of the functions of the
United States marshal to the De-
partment of Public Safety is like
wise undesirable
Mr.. Murphy suggested that the
provisions cited be modified so as
to continue the present system,
under which all criminal prosecu-
tions in the District Court, as well
as criminal prosecutions In the
Police. Court, except those inyoly-
ing local ordinances, are conducted
by the United States attorney.
In addition, the Attorney General
said that in the District there is
only one court of original jurisdic-
ton, the United States District
Court, which combines the juris-
dictions which the United States
District Courts and the State courts
have elsewhere. Then, he declared:
Il am not aware of any jurisdic-
ton in this country in which the
function of prosecuting crimes in
the same court of original jurisdic-
ton is divided between the two
officers, independent of each other.
appointed IN different manner.
Such division would not be con-
ducive to efficiency or economy"
