Grandma's Menu, Too,
Had Plenty of Vitamins

Grandmothers were good cooks
and turned out meals with plenty Of
unsupported vitamins when their
store Of foods permitted wide choice,
but modern cooks in streamlined
kitchens must be good cooks and
also food engineers who can provide
vitamins, calories, and minerals,
without stuffing their families, say
nutrition specialists at Ohio State
university.
Cooks of the old school probably
never heard of calories, but they
knew folks who had plenty of diff
ferent things to eat could live, work,
and keep warm. Energy for these
purposes came from the carbohy-
drates, fats and proteins, and grand
mother learned quickly that the
cooks who used plenty of butter,
cream and eggs had the most
guests.
Now, the minerals, calcium, phos-
phorus and iron are given attention
by modern cooks because they are
likely to be low in the average diet.
Calcium and phosphorus form
large part of the bones and teeth.
Some of the calcium, however, stays
in the blood stream and is neces-
sary for the proper functioning of
the heart and the coagulation Of the
blood.
Vitamins were unheard Of few
decades ago. Today, eight have been
discovered, but vitamins, A, 81, C.,
D and G are the best known. Guam
titles of vitamins and minerals were
thrown away with the liquid from
cooked vegetables until nutritionists
showed homemakers the Importance
of cooking foods to conserve these
health-giving nutrients.
Nutrition specialists point out that
scientists have discovered how GER
tain foods in the diet can prevent
or cure pellagra, ricketts,, nutritional
anemia and other body disorders.
These findings have been great
boon to society.
A five-point diet worked out by
the university specialists will fur
nish all the nutrients for the average
person. It consists of the daily use
of milk, tomatoes or citrus fruit, po-
tatoes and green leafy vegetables,
whole wheat bread and cereal, and
eggs, meat, poultry or fish. Scien-
lists have discovered that each per-
son is a different problem in nutri-
ton so each homemaker should ap-
praise the physical fitness of all
members of the family and plan the
meals accordingly.

Soldiers Seek Tattoo
Marks for Identifcations

Tattoo artists in Canada are COM
ing into their own as result of the
war.
According to Montreal's famous
tattoo artist, Professor Paul, bust
ness is booming as never before
since the days of 1914 with the army,
navy and air force leading the pro-
cession through those narrow and
gaudily decorated front DOORS They
want tattoo marks as identifications.
Trouble now is" he said, shat
there amt the appreciation of art
there used to be. I remember when
a man could put in a couple of days
doing a picture on sailors chest
that was something to be proud of,
but now it's just initials and num-
bers. Military numbers, girls phone
numbers, family initials, girls mi
tials. I'm telling yah, I'm gettin'
writer's cramp.
"Tain't only the men that's get
ting them," he went on. 1.-THE wom-
en- too are coming in here to get
their boy friends initials on their
arms and legs.
"Of course" he added, "this idea
isn't so good. Suppose girl wants
to change boy friends. Zingol
there's trouble. I've blotted out
more initials by changing them into
roses in the past six months than
I've done in the last rs years. But
then, l guess a girls got right
to change her mind. Got one now
who's making her mind up to be-
come tattooed lady. Trouble with
this is that man gets about half
through with them and they change
their minds again, and tell me, what
goods half tattooed woman?"

PAY FOR YOUR CHRISTMAS
SEALS
SEALS

Although the 1910 Christmas Seal
Sale, sponsored by the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, came to a
close on Christmas Day, thousands
have failed. as yet, to make their
returns.
Officials of the Association urged
everyone to join in this health cru
SADIE to make all homes safe from the
soourge of tuberculosis by promptly
renting for the health stamps that
they received on the 25th of last
November.
Through the funds raised by these
Seals the Maryland Association is
able to carry on its program of
health control through clinics, tu-
berculin testing, x-rays, medical re-
search and the Miracle House.
ut is not too late to pay for your
Christmas Seals said William B.
Matthews, Managing Director of the
Association. We have tremendous
job ahead of US in Maryland, as its
death rate from tuberculosis ranks
third highest in the United States.
Every effort must be made to reduce
this rate and make Maryland hap
pier and healthier"

CARFIELD'S DEATH FIRST
IMPORTANT NEWS OVER
STATE DEPT. TELEPHONE

The first important communication
over the telephone recorded by the
State Department in Washington was
recently described by Francis x.
WEIGH in an article in Telephony"
magazine.
On July day in 1881, Mr.. WEIGH
reports, the one and almost unused
telephone in the State Department at
Washington, d. c. rang. A retired
official who CHANGED to be nearby
answered the call of this 'new-fangled
gadget." An excited voice told him
that President Garfield had just been
shot.
Mr.. WEIGH adds that "today the
telephone is the most important form

Milk from Farm
Grains Increased
By Concentrates
Profits are Much Larger from
Correctly-fed Herds.

It Is sound practice for dairy
farmer to raise all the feed he can, be-
Ieves Meade Summers, head of the
dairy department, Purina Mills. This
applies both to grain and roughages or
hay.
He adds, however, that to get the
most profitable returns from his herd
a dairyman must feed his grain and
hay in the most efficient way.
Proof From Iowa State
To prove his contention, Summers
calls attention to a statement appear
ing on page one of bulletin issued by
Iowa State College, Feeding Dairy
Cows" The statement reads
I'm Cerro Gordo County, Iowa,
cow testing association member was
feeding only corn and cob meal in
December. He changed to a grain
mixture which included enough of
high protein concentrate to bal
ance the roughage being fed, max
ing no other changes in the care of
the herd. In January his produce
ton increased so that the butterfat
was worth $54.29 more. The new
grain mixture cost 1852 more than
the old one, so that there was left
$37.37 worth of butterfat as extra
income over December. This Is not
an isolated case."
Grinding Feed Helps
Summers reports that study recent
ly made by Purina Mills in the feed
stores of its dealers shows that about
two-thirds of the folk grinding grain
for dairy cattle still fail to appreciate
how much more they can get out of 1t
by adding a. mixed concentrate. They
believe in grinding their grain because
their observations have shown them
that much whole grain goes through
the cattle. But because the loss of milk
cannot be seen they continue to feed
their ground grain without balancing 1t
with a mixed concentrate.
Summers recommendation on O
mixed concentrate to add to ground
grain hinges on the amount Of home
grown grain the dairy farmer has. When
his problem is to make his grain stretch
as far as it can, Summers advises the
adding of 1870 Cow Chow. # the sup
ply of grain Is ample he advises the
adding Of $40 Cow Chow. Both Of
these mixed concentrates are handled
locally by our Purina distributor.

Labor Relations Board has been
chosen. The nominee is DR.. Harry A..
Mills, of the Chicago University.
Other changes are being made in
the Board, and as result it will be
reorganized and very likely strength
ened.
As the Labor Board has proceeded
on its quarrelsome way in recent
years Congress has made attempts
to change the laws under which it
exists. Back of this long fight power
full politicians have insisted that the
Board should be given time to work
out its own problems.
The chances are that labor dis
putes between industries and labor
unions are approaching happier
days." and that 1941 will restore a
good deal Of the old time partnership
and recognition OF mutual interests
between employers and employees.

DEFENSE PROGRESS

Overwhelmed by a food of recent
reports that the defense program is
tagging, the man in the street is al
most Convinced that defense produc-
ton has come to full stop. That
this belief is long way from the
truth is evidenced by the latest re-
port of the National Defense Ad-
visory Commission, which offers a
full accounting of the Commissions
achievements since its formation on
May %, 1910.
During this six months period,
the NDAC reveals, the production of
vital military equipment has been
speeded from double to tenfold.
While completed airplanes are be-
hind schedule-700 month instead
of the expected 1000 month-the
manufacture of airplane engines,
instead of being bottle-neck, is up
to 2,40O a month. In addition, each
month sees a new delivery of 100
light tanks, 10000 Garand semi
automatic rifles, and vast supplies of
munition. When the program began,
monthly production of tanks stood at
10 to 15, engines at about 500, and
Garand rifles at about 1000.
Biggest accomplishment of the
Commission is not in actual produc-
ton, which is just getting fully
under way, but in the speedy clear
ance of Army and Navy contracts.
Now approving contracts at the rate
of $55,5OO,000 a day, the NDAC in
the past half year has okayed
$40, OOO, 100000 worth including
$4,000, 600, 900 for ships, $780,
100000 for planes, $600,000,O0
for ammunition, $500, 100000 for
guns, and $500, 100000 for trucks
and tanks
These contracts, which call for IS
billion man-hours of labor, have sent
more than million unemployed men
and women back to work in the last
two months, and, according to the
NDAC, will require several million
more workers by next November.

LEGISLATORS SEEK TO KEEP
UP WITH WORK

Endeavoring to keep abreast of
work heaped on them by speed
conscious State administration,
members Of the General Assembly's
ranking committees have studied
Governor O'Conor's $106,000,O0O-
plus 1942-43 budget bill.
With the budget, bond issue and
tav rate bills, the Legislative Coun-
ellis 10 measures and other legis-
lation already before them, solons
face another batch of new bills.
Heading the list of new measures
are the remainder Of the defense
bills, covering such projects as sabo-
tage, explosives and protection OF
public property. Legislation to estab-
lish a home guard already has been
introduced by the Legislative Coun-
Gil.
Other measures yet to be dropped
In legislative hoppers include those
to create a Department of Revenue
and Taxes and establish Commits
sioner of Safety. They are being
drawn by the Tax Revision Commits
sion.
Some Senators have objected to
the administrations drive for speed,
but leaders are hopeful the Assembly
may complete its work and adjourn
'ssine die" before the ninety days
allotted are consumed.
Administrator leaders said they
would keep feeding the work" to
Assemblymen, pointing out it would
be to the individual legislators ad-
vantage to keep abreast of their
task and avert jam.

STATE wPA AIDING NATIONAL
DEFENSE

Thirty-six per cent Of Maryland's
approximately 1880 WPA workers
are now engaged upon projects inn
portant onational defense, Harry
d. Williar, Jr., State Work Projects
Administrator, announces.
The proportion is increasing stead
lily and should amount to forty per
cent by the end of this month, Mr..
Williar said. AS recently as month
ago the proportion was only twenty
three per cent.
Mr.. Williar asserted that practi-
cally all the army and navy posts
and military reservations in Mary
land are being expanded or improved
by the War and Navy Departments.
Other WPA defense activities in
clude the construction of wharf
for the Naval Militia armory on the
Key Highway, improvements at the
Pikesville armory, construction of
an access road to the new Fairchild
Airplane Company factory near
Hagerstown and construction of a
hangar for the Maryland National
Guard at the Baltimore Municipal
Airport.
"WPA workmen can't build the
tanks, aircraft, guns and ammunition
that are required for national de-
Tense, but they can do work of this
kind an dare carrying out many i'm
portant improvements" Mr.. Williar
said.
Army and Navy projects have
priority and are pushed as rapidly
as possible, the Administrator said.

AUTO SIGNAL LIGHTS
Asserting that many motorists ap-
parently are in ignorance of the
meaning of the flashing" red traffic
signal, the Keystone Automobile
Club, in a safety bulletin issued
this week, emphasizes that this type
of signal requires motorists to stop
and remain standing until they are
assured it is safe to proceed.
In recent weeks, the bulletin says
there have been several serious acct
dents attributd to motorists failure
to observe the flashing red signal
Such crashes, it points out, are en-
tirely avoidable, and there can be
little or no excuse for the motorist
who becomes involved in them
According to the Club, the flashing
amber and flashing red are coming
into more general use throughout
the country. These types are being
employd at locations where there is
insufficient traffic to keep the sig
nails on the 'stop' and "go" indica-
lions at all hours, but where the
danger is sufficiently serious to war
rant stopping to make sure passage
over the intersecting point cam be
made in safety.
''These Signals" the bulletin con-
tinues, ''are erected in the public
interest, and it certainly behooves
the motorist to make good use of
them, for his own protection and the
safety of Others"

OLD REMEDIES
By J. E. Jones

Washington, Jan. 20--The men and
women of the United States who are
employed or giving volunteer SER
vice to the National defense program
continue to live normally, and ma
turally--eating and sleeping as usual.
The farms and factories main
tain regular, or increased schedules,
and meet their obligation to the
World.
The foregoing observations bring
us back to our great Common De-
nominator--Commo Sense. From
this starting-post we reach conclu-
sions to wit: /. That human life and
progress cannot go on unless all the
ordinary activities of human beings
continue to function as far as pos
sible. 2. That national defense calls
for only a part--a most important
part, it is true--of the energy of the
people and cannot become the sole
business of our Nation. 8. That war
and defense have not and probably
will not care for all the unemployed.
4. That stronger methods must be
devised to insure labor peace in de-
tense industries. 5. Finally, that
reasonable living and enterprise, and
wise non-partisan administration Of
Government, are the old, and sure
remedies for all our ills.

Throwing Mud At The Newspaper

Many attacks have been made
upon the press during recent weeks
and most of them can be traced to
few big-shot politicians in Wash
ington who might very we'll be spared
from the public service when the
new Administration is finally chart
ed.
There are several hundrd news
writer's in Washington who repre-
sent every class of publications print
ed in the United States. There are
perhaps 10000 publications. Your
Washington correspondent has been
a member of this fraternity for a
great many years and want to tell
you something that is common in
the experiences in the daily lives of
all recognized contributors to the
press. There comes ito the desks of all
of these men advance news releases,
some of which cannot be used for
several days. This practice Of the
Government has existed for several
generations. And yet of the tens Of
thousands of advance news releases
l never have known of an instances
where the confidence and trust of the
Government has ever been violated
or the items printed before the date
set to release them. Where else
can you look to find such wonder
