Hopkins Department
Recommends Change
In Potash Marketino
Results Of Survey
Of Industry Sent
To Justice Department

Containing recommendations for
important changes In potash IN
dustry practices, the Commerce De-
partment has submitted q report
on the potash industry to the JUS
tice Department, Secretary Hopkins
announced today. The report, cul-
minating a years work by depart
ment experts. reviews the character
and history of the industry, describes
its marketing system and discusses
the performance of the industry.
Recommendations of the depart
ment include, first, the establish
ment Of price differential of ap-
proximately 81 per ton between the
price at Carlsbad, N. Mex, one of the
important sources of domestic pro-
duction, and the price at the sea-
board. Prices at Carlsbad and the
seaboard are now identical.
Second, establishment of a null
tiple discount system, instead of
the present single discount.
Third, a modification of sales
policy so as to permit consumers to
buy direct from producers in car.
load lots for their own use at regu-
lar quoted prices, with the usual dis.
count, thus opening up a new source
of supply In addition to the existing
source.
Last year, the Justice Department
began a general investigation of the
fertilizer industry. At its suggestion,
the Commerce Department UNDER
took an economic survey of the in
dustry. Prior to the World War the
United States largely depended upon
Germany for its supply of potash.
Since then, the United States has
been developing its own potash re-
sources.
In recent years, practically all
the potash sold in the United States
has been handled by four COM
panies. In preparing their report,
Commerce Department experts ex-
amined the operating and other
records of these four companies.
Special attention was given to mar
keting practices of the industry, par
ticularly with respect to the basing
point system of price quotations.

British h-French flight from Namsos
was disastrous. Allied troops were
said to have left behind valuable
supplies and to have forgotten to
take along one British soldier.
Derisive of British.
The British troops in Norway
showed no fighting spirit whatever,
the Germans declared.
Authorized sources spoke with the
utmost derision of the manner in
which, they said, the British and
French used Norwegian troops to
cover their retreat and then aban-
doned them without giving them a
chance to board British boat.
The same sources said the British
made no effort to turn their food
supplies over to the Norwegians as
they themselves withdrew.
That's how Britain helps those
who fight for her." they said causti-
cally.
The brief communique reporting
the sinking of the British battleship
said:
"On the afternoon of May 3 q
British battleship on a western
course west Of Namsos was attacked
by German -bombers and was
hit by bombs of heavy caliber be-
tween the forward turrets.
Half a minute after the bombs
hit shooting flames f1ared 500 meters
(more than 500 YARDS high amidst
great clouds of smoke.
AFTER the clouds of smoke disap-
peared there was nothing more OF
the ship to be seen except debris"
Tass Statement Welcomed.
Berlin welcomed as especially
timely an assertion by Tass, official
Soviet news agency, that Germany
and Russia are equally interested
in the preservation of Sweden's neu-
trality."
The Tass statement, coming at q
time when Nazi officialdom Is accus-
ing the allies anew of seeking to
extend the war area. tends to put
both Germany and Russia in the
ranks of the peacefully inclined ma
tions, according to the German view
Authorized sources, commenting
on the situation, said Germany and
Russia had been in accord from the
beginning of the conflict In Norway
and the seizure of military suze-
rainty In Denmark by Germany.

Thought Stimulation
On Government Praised,

May add too that the thought
which I have expressed on several
previous occasions-that while in
the past seven years your Gov
ernment has put into practical
effect more constructive legisla-
ton for the average man, woman
and child of the Nation than in
any similar time in our history,
the greatest ultimate long range
gain of these years lies in the
increased knowledge of what
government is all about, the in
creased discussion of broad prob
lens and the increased recogni-
ton that the people Of this
country are entitled to govern
ment which constantly thinks in
terms of the peoples needs.
We are coming to differences
between fact and fiction. That
in itself is a step in advance.
We do not fall as easily as in
older days for glittering generali-
ties, for specious promises. We
say in an election year to candi-

dates for President and Vice
President, and to "would-be"
Senators and Representatives,
quit condemning each and every
act of this administration and
tell us just how you would
change the laws if you were in
power
You say you would balance
the budget-you who oppose pres
ent policies-dont tell us that
you would appoint some new
committee or board to make rec
concentrations. The budget is
an open book. If it is to be bal
anced you can do it in one of two
ways or by combination of both.
You can levy new taxes, or you
can cut appropriations. If you
choose the former, what kind of
taxes do you propose to levy? II
you propose to cut expenditures,
which ones will you cut and by
what amount? Will you in these
critical days lop off a billion dol
lars from our national defense?
Will you in these critical days lop
off a billion dollars for the care
of the needy unemployed? Will
you curtail expenditures for old
age pensions or unemployment
insurance? Will you abolish the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission and turn their functions
over to the Stock Exchange? Will
you end the Civilian Conservation
Corps and the National Youth
Administration? Will you destroy,
by withdrawing appropria tions,
the Soil Conservation and tree
planting program Of the Govern
ment?'
Points to Dilemma
Facing Candidates.
recognize the horrid dilemma
that questions of this kind are
going to put certain types of can
didates into in the coming six
months.
Whoever the nominees of the
two major parties are, I firmly
believe that the real question,
the honest question, the funda-
mental question on election day
is going to be this: do you
wish to employ for your bus line
chauffeurs who wrecked the pre-
vious bus line by driving the old
buses into the ditch or by going
to sleep at the wheel-or are you
going to continue the present
policy of employing active, wide
awake chauffeurs who are in
Spired with the thought that
their duty is to be polite to the
passengers and see to it that
they reach their destination in
comfort and complete safety.
I am confident that your COM
mon sense, your enthusiasm and
your deep understanding of the
problems of the day will go far
to keep the American people on
the right road in this year of
grace 1910.

feathers. Here's an excellent oppor-
tunity to follow through on a tie
up with your vinylite shoes, and
we're happy to report that the viny-
llite trimmed gloves are not gaudy
and pretentious. In fact, they are
much more subtle than you might
expect.
There are so many novel styles
on the market at the moment that
it's a comparatively simple matter
to find just what you want. The
"boXing-mitts" which came out at
the beginning of the season are
really popular with the young set
and should be even more SO as the
ski season gets under way. These
look exactly like the name sounds
and are fascinating in bright leath-
ers. Incidentally, they also come IN
children's versions which are moth
ing short of adorable. Another item
that the kiddies like are kitten nit
tens" with the thumb and little
finger designed to look and wiggle
like kittens paws.

thing to give Cousin Amarylis or
Aunt Hattie, just find out ther glove
sizes. The manufacturers have done

In contrasting colorS with dinner
type clothes
American leather gloves have Gre
ated a great deal of interest, as
have all other fashions designed
and executed in this country. These
are, for the most part. washable,
and so cleverly designed that they
are a definite asset to a costume,
instead of being just something that
you have to wear because "all ladies
wear gloves" The conventional
suedes are out in full force and so
are the doeskins and capeskin
gloves. In the latter, there's an
interesting model which has been
treated with almond cream to coun-
teract perspiration It has been on
the market for some time, and has
gone over extremely well in a quiet
sort of way. This one, too, is wash
able. Pigskin gloves are exception
ally popular this season. for they go
nicely with the casual type of attire
and are Interestingly worked with
stitching and other detailing TO re-
leve the monotony.
Colors are of supreme Importance.
Here. too. you may refer back to the
interest in bright shades evidenced
by other fashions. At any rate.
there are plenty of pastels as well
as numbers of rich, warm shades
which liven up a dark costume.
One buyer told us that she feels
these colored gloves are a relief
from the usual black and brown,
and we must admit that they team
up exceptionally we'll with bright
hats and colored wool dresses. both
of which are very much in the pic
ture.
South American influence has
been widely discussed this season,
and in fabric gloves it works out
very well For real pep" these
styles are hard to beat We particu-
larly like the idea of fringed cuffs,
lacing in contrasting colors, wide
flaring cuffs and trinity tailored
stitched effects. Colors are nice,
too. Some of them have sufficient
glamour" in the titles to sell us,
even if we hadn't seen how good
looking they are. Fiesta Red"
"Pampas Gold" and Patio Green"
are something rather special in the
way of names, we think.
Interesting innovation in the

This lining is decorated, slipped into

It's a well-favored, boneless cut
from above the hind shank. The
meat Of the fore shank is also
good cut for stewing. Although it
has quite bit of bone, you can
easily trim off the meat and cut
it into uniform pieces. The flank
is an excellent stew meat, even
though the fibers are coarse. The
neck, short ribs, plate and brisket
are also suitable.
Veal and lamb riblets. made by
cutting between the ribs OF the
breast, are excellent for stew. So
are small, very lean shoulders and
irregularly shaped pieces of veal
lamb or pork.
Meat organs are another good ad-
dition to your list of stew meats.
Many Of them are low in price,
and they add vitamins and minerals
to the meal. Beef kidneys take pre-
cedence wherever there's an Eng
lishman; but calf, lamb and pork
kidneys will do as well. Heart,
tongue and liver can also be stewed.
Seasoning for the stew depends on
the meat and vegetables that go
into it. Salt and pepper are taken
for granted-celery, parsley. and
onion are also standard stew sea-
sonings Besides these you might
use bay leaves and whole cloves, as
the Hungarians do in making
goulash. Paprika gives the stew a
dark color, much liked by the French
and used in their ragout. Thyme,
marjoram. celery salt and curry
powder are other seasonings that
may lift a simple stew above the
ordinary.
It's the little extra touches that
make the stew a dish of distinc-
tion. Dumplings are a great favorite,
and they can easily be cooked in
the covered kettle right along with
the meat and vegetables. Allow the
last IS minutes before serving time.
for cooking the dumplings. But
don't be inquisitive while the dump
lings are steaming. They get along
better if you leave the kettle COW
cred tightly.
Serve pancakes and sour cream
gravy with the stew. II you want to
do 1t the Russian way. If your stew
is the chop suey type, serve it with
rice and fried noodles. If it's an
italian meat mixture, use spaghetti
or macaroni as starchy accom-
paniment.

chilli con carne are some of the
French, Hungarian. Russian and
Spanish versions. The English set
great store by their kidney stew,
and Irish stews needs no introduc-
ton anywhere.
In America. all these good ideas
come together Many cooks make
their stews by Old World recipes,
handed down without change from
one generation to the next. Other
good cooks use some of the ira
ditional ingredients, but cook them
in the modern scientific manner.
Most stews start with low-priced
meats, which after all are Just as
nutritious as the higher-priced
steaks and chops. Less tender cuts,
cooked long and slowly, make ten
der and savory stews. Tidbits and
small pieces OF tender meat can be
used to advantage in stews.
No hard-and-fast rules bind the
cook when making stew. But if
she's wise, she'll start by browning
the meat in hot fat. That's what
gives the stew its rich flavor and
deep brown color. Meat dipped in
flour before browning has a special
well-liked flavor.
Finish cooking the meat In water,
barely enough to cover. A low
temperature-simmering, not boil
ing-softens the connective tissue
and makes the meat tender
Long cooking for the meat, short
cooking for the vegetables-is a
good slogan to follow in making
stews. Modern cooks know that
food values disappear when vege-
tables are overlooked. So, wait
until almost serving time before
adding the vegetables, and cook
them only until they are tender.
Short cooking means full flavor,
bright color, and firm texture for
the vegetables.
When choosing vegetables for the
stew, think of the color and flavor
combinations you want when the
dish is served. Carrots, potatoes
and onions are favorite combina-
ton, but only starter for the cook
with imagination. Lima beans, to.
matoes, and corn are used in Bruns-
wick stew, a typically American dish
named after a county in Virginia.
TurnipS, rutabagaS, or parsnips are
starchy vegetables that double for
potatoes. To add green color
choose Brussels sprouts, cabbage,
peas. green pepper or snap beans.
Important as the vegetables are,
meat is the backbone Of any good
stew. When buying beef for stew,
VOL might choose the heel Of round.

the length of sled rope. Run the
rope through screw eyes along the

as wagon. and may be pulled from
any direction. While it holds a
large supply of playthings, it may
be tucked away in a much smaller
space than most carts and other
wheeled toys. This is nice gift for
the tiny ones who are at the age
where they spend hours putting toys

and it is also appreciated by the
3 or 4 year olds, who love to drag
large loads of loot behind them.
