Second Cutter Sails
To Aid in Weather Dutu

The Coast Guard cutter Bibb to-
day followed her sister ship Duane
over Atlantic waters to become mid
ocean weather stations to aid the
Weather Bureau In making fore
casts.
The Bibb sailed from Norfolk, Va,
the port from which the Duane de-
parted yesterday. The cutters will
be stationed one-third and two
thirds of the distance between Ber-
muda and the Azores.
Weather reports from the cutters
will be received through the radio
station at Fort Hunt, Va. The float
ing stations, approved by President

celved by the bureau from COM
mercial vessels plying the Atlantic

Dupont Circle Citizens
Petition Congressfo
Traffic Investigation
Association Approves
Proposal for Apartment
Porkinq Facilities

A resolution to petition Congress
for an investigation of traffic con-
ditions in Washington was adopted
unanimously by the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association yesterday aft
ernoon, after criticism of the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traffic by
William Clark Taylor.
Mr. Taylor charged motorists were
caused unnecessary delay on apply
ing for automobile tags and claimed
that bad timing of signal lights con-
tributes to traffic confusion. He
pointed to the IS traffic deaths in
Washington last year and voiced op-
position to all-night parking. In
this latter respect, he cited the dam
ger of children playing and running
into the streets from between parked
automobiles. Mr.. Taylor added that
compulsory automobile insurance for
all drivers would reduce accidents
by at least Is per cent.
Proposes Future Subjects.
In other remarks, Mr.. Taylor re-
quested the association to take un-
der advisement for future discussion
such subjects as dirty, unkept
streets, the reported sale of mar
cotics to school children and reor-
ganization of the District govern
ment.
On the recommendation of L. M.
Leisenring, chairman of the asso-
cations Zoning Committee, the
group approved in principle a pro-
posal to include garage space in all
future apartment buildings, thereby
eliminating all-night parking on the
streets in certain parts of the city.
Ask Notice on Licenses.
Another resolution passed re-
quested that in the future all resi-
dents within 500 feet of an appli-
cant for a liquor license be notified
by registered mail in the event they
care to make protest at public hear
ings before the Alcoholic Beverage
Control Board.
1t. Arthur c. Belt of No. 3 police
precinct spoke briefly, citing the
need for additional policemen and
better cooperation by the public
with the Police Department in mat
ters Of traffic.
The meeting was held in the May
flower Hotel and presided. over by
MI. Houghton.

DO YOUR MEALS BORE YOUR
FAMILY3

Housewives are often SNUG in
comparing their own food with res
taurant cooking. Yet good reBtaur-
ant often surpasses the housewife
IN the ability to provide Interesting
meals. Amy housewife can learn
professional tricks and make her
own meals more inviting.
Color contrast adds zest to meals.
A cafeteria manager soon learns that
piece Of red cherry will sell many
a pale pudding. A vegetable plate is
more popular with combination Of
scolors like sweet potato, spinach
with pOached egg, and creamed cell
cry than with white potato, creamed
celery, and baked onions.
Texture is Of great concern to the
good restaurant manager and should
be TO the good housewife. Children
seem particularly discerning about
texture and will sometimes rebel at
too many soft foods. Restaurants
almost always offer something crisp
like celery or raw carrots or green
salad to vary the monotony Of soft
cooked foods: A meal such as
mashed potatoes, meat loaf and
mashed turnips is boring because
everything feels alike 70 the teeth.
A large plate of shredded raw vege-
tables can look Just as forbldding.
II is by combining the crisp, the
chevy and the soft that meals be-
come appetizing.
Variety Is another professional
requirement which the housewife
could learn with profit. Too many
Of us always cream our corn, fry
the fish, and boil our beans. New
foods. and new ways Of cooking old
foods keep q family interested in
their meals.
CoIorful meals, planned for con-
trast in texture and using q variety
OF foods, go q long way toward In
suring a balanced meal. They also
increase your families enjoyment OF
the balanced meal You have pre-
pared.

aNUTRITION FACEs vs FADsv


The new interest In nutrition has
given rise to as many styles IN eat
ing as In clothes. Nutrition Facts
vs. Fads" was the title Of a talk By
DR.. Helen Mitchell at the recent
convention Of the American DietetiC
Association. DR.. Mitchell has long
been a professor at the Massachus-
etts State College and is now also
special consultant for national de-
Tense to the Bureau Of Home Eco
nomies of the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture and is thus
well qualified TO judge what Is fact
and what is fancy IN nutrition in
formation.
DR.. Mitchell described group Of
imaginary luncheon guests. all Of
whom had become addicted to spe-
cial and poorly advised systems Of
diet. One woman would eat nothing
but raw vegetables and their juices,
another would eat only natural or
unreiined foods, another was sure
that an explosion would occur II she
were to combine certain incompat-
ible foods. One woman on q reduc-
ing diet would eat only pineapple
and lamb chops, and still another
omitted lunch entirely.
All of these systems Of diet four
ish because they contain some
truthful as we'll as some false ideas.
For example, raw vegetables and
their juices are valuable nutrition
ally. However, the exclusive use Of
raw foods limits greatly the foods
and flayors which may be used.
The theory that certain foods are
incompatible has made thousands Of
dollars for its inventors and ex-
ploiters. According TO this theory,
protein and carbohydrate foods are
very dangerous in combination al
though separately they are quite
safe. This theory ignores the scien-
tifie fact that nature designed foods
such as milk and lima beans, with
an abundance Of both protein and
carbohydrate, and that man is ap-
parently we'll equipped TO handle
these foods. Many people have been
benefited by this system Of diet, not
by the enforced separation Of pro-
tein and carbohydrate, but by the
enforced inclusion Of greater guam
tity and variety Of vegetables and
fruits.
In medical history there are
many cases of individuals who have
damaged themselves severely BY
self imposed diets. Such an indi-
vidual may have found certain
foods which did not agree with him.
Efs eliminated these from his diet
with no thought Of any necessary
substitution OF other foods for the
offending varieties. HIS Indigestion
Increased and he eliminated more
foods until a regular diet Of toast
and tea were all which we're left.
When he finally consuIted physi-
clan his self imposed inadequate diet
had complicated, not relieved, his
original complaints.
A little knowledge has always been
a dangerous thing. Quacks and i'll
informed diet enthusiasts are COM
mon and may try to advise you to
some special system Of diet. Before
you try to cure your ailments by
any special system Of diet, consult
a physician and follow only his ad-
vice, or that Of a graduate dietitian
or nurse. working under his direc-
tion.

Experiments conducted Tor the
past few years show that hogs
should be tasted for about 81 hours
before they are butchered. Although
the hogs receive no food for the "a
hour period before butchering, they
are given all OF the water they will
drink. These same teBts brought out
the fact that overheated and excited
hogs do not bleed out completely.
This frequently causes the meat TO
have 4 reddish appearance and there
is more likelihood Of spcilage.

ber. Nov, come and see!" she cried
eagerly and led her mother into the
kitchen. There, didn't I get It

Indeed you did. dear. and you
shall clean it again another day,
praised the mother. She was going
to point out pools on the floor and
the child's bedraggled frock, but this
being birthday, scolding was out
of the question. Mrs. Cory thought
Of better way. Now, will you take
this cloth and wipe up the floor
where water has been spilled?
This was done willingly, If not
eniciently, and her mother did not
complain.
Now we must do something about

Ashleigh," he muttered to Heather,
sit would be simply, GLASS, in big
capitals"
81 think she's grand, too," agreed
Heather generously.
And to her, Edith's toast was the
real trophy, outshining even the gold
cup that would soon be hers, now grac
ing the table before Hal Roach, presi-
dent of Santa Anita and master of
ceremonies. The cup was mounted
on a gold base between four columns
of Brazil onyx, and this was topped
by cross piece bearing gold horse.
Then Hal Roach spoke, presenting
the magnificent trophy to the first
girl owner Of the first California bred
horse ever to win the Santa Anita.
Trembling, Heather rose to her
feet above a tidal wave of white ties,
flashing jewels and barred feminine
shoulders. Her words were soft with
emotion but her voice did not fail her.
"Mr. Roach, dear friends; you have
all been wonderful. Everyone is so
kind, especially those who have so
graciously lost"
Heather's winning look was for
Edith, smiling kindly down the flow
er-decked table.
"But in all fairness" Heather went
on, her sweet voice suddenly ringing,
II must tell you / don't deserve this
beautiful trophy! 1t should go to
Mr.. Maynard, because he trained
Knight Errant, the son of Coronado.
Slim earned it. Slim won the race
today. So thank you for our trophy
Sims and mine.
"And now," Heather's blue eyes
flashed with mischief, eff l may be
excused, would like to whisper very
confidentially, to Slim and ask him
how he thinks our lovely trophy will
look over our fireplace on our Carmel
Valley farmw
There was stunned silence as the
blushing Heather sat down after her
public announcement of her love.
Then the applause that broke out was
deafening. But no one looked quite
so astonished as Slim. Or so over
joyed.
