TIA are fruits and 50 are canned
meats. Following the canning
standards of Miss Pearl MacDon-
aid, nutrition specialist for the Uni
versity of Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service, Mrs. Frazier set
as her goal % quarts of fruit, %
quarts of tomatoes and 20 quarts
of other VEGETABLES year for each
member of the family as well as
supply of canned meat. And Mrs.
Frazier says: Il more than reached
the canning goal for our family and
1 also have a supply of canned
foods which can be used for gifts
and contributions during the year.
The garden which produced most of
the canned foods for the Fraziers
was enlarged and succession plant
ings of crops We're made to provide
a supply throughout the spring,
summer and fall. During the year,
Mrs. Frazier kept a record of fam
lily food costs and her figures indi-
cate that the family spent in cash
about 10 dollars a month for food
and about 80 dollars worth of
home-produeed food was consumed
each month. This means that
about IS per cent of the food used
by the family was produced on the
farm. Interest of rural DelaWar-
cans in producing more and a
greater variety of foods for their
families is recognized as a definite
contribution to national defense.
In 1912, the Delaware Agricultural
Extension Service plans to promote

RIGHT FOOD FOR
GOOD HEALTH
Your Health and Vitality De-
pends on Proper Food
and Right Amount
BY CHARLOTTE SPENCER

Decreased ability to see in the
dark is one of the first signs OF a
lack of vitamin A. Night driving,
particularly in the winter months,
is dangerous enough even for nor
NAL ewes, but it can be made doub-
ly dangerous if poor food habits
have lowered the ability to see,
The retina OF the normal eye
contains visual purple, a substance
composed of vitamin A and pro-
tein. This pigment is bleached by
bright light and then recreated.
If there is not enough vitamin A
the visual purple is very slow to
form again. Since vision in dim
light or darkness is dependent upon
this visual purple, the ability to see
at night is impaired and a condition
called night-blindness results.
Nightblindness shows itself par
ticularly when coming into the
dark from bright light as when 60

after passing glaring headlights al
night.
Nightblindness has been known
for long time. For example, in
Newfoundland where food is scarce
and of poor quality fishermen who
work on the sunlit water all day
are commonly afflicted with night
blindness. Long before vitamin A
was discovered these simple fisher
folk found that if they were blino
at night they could see the next
night if they would eat some coo
or gull liver.
This kind of vitamin A deficiency
appears to be fairly widespread II
this country. A study of Iowa
school children showed that one
out of four of the farm children
tested and three out of four city
children were suffering from night.

recovered normal eyesight Wher

Condemnation proceedings are
contemplated within a short time
by the State Highway Department
to obtain right of way for widening
of the roads leading into the new
Dover airport. According to City
Manager I. D. Shank, failure of
private negotiations for the rights
of way has delayed the laying of
underground power line cables to
the airport as we'll as delaying the
road widening. The electrical work
to be done includes erection of a

Utilize smoke Pines Heat

A new device utilizes the heat
from the smoke pipe of a house
heating plant to heat water for the
bathroom, kitchen and laundry.
The unit consists OF a jacket Of cast
iron or aluminium alloy which is
clamped around the smoke pipe.
Colo water from a storage tank
travels to the jacket where it is
heated and then returns to the
upper half Of the tank. There is a
continuous circulation of water be-
tween the storage tank and the
heating unit around the smoke pipe.
It is claimed that water which en-
ters the unit at a temperature of 48
degrees is heated to a temperature
of 130 when il leaves. The unit
utilizes heat given off by a smoke
pipe which otherwise is wasted.

When the Kent County home
food-production contest was an
nounced last spring by Kent Coun-
ty home demonstration clubs, Mrs.
Virgil Frazier of the Canterbury
home demonstration club near Eel

duction and in this contest I want
to improve on my canning and stor-
age as much as I can" And Mrs.
Frazier went right to work to care

These plans included an improved
garden with new vegetables to bet
ter the family diet, construction OF
a storage room in the basement and
ways of lowering the amount OF
cash spent for food. Efforts of the
Frazier family are well rewarded
by the generous supply of canned
products-over 500 quarts and
stored foods now on the shelves in

the capital of style in clothing as well as politics has not been an- nounced. But an intensive world wide campaign of publicity for Axis fashions has been launched.
 The German Italian fashion agreement provides for an ex- change of ideas in styles and the sharing of the market for wo- mems wear in Europe and the world. Designers of the two coun- tries are to meet every three months Alternately in Germany and Italy) to decide on what wo- men will wear the next season. Buyers from abroad will be in vited to both countries.
 Permanent Italian and German fashion committees, composed of experts in the leading houses of each country, have been set up for a monthly exchange of tech nical and artistic information, = meaning information on mate rials, colors and designs.
 The Axis styles are to be de- signed and carried out in the ma terials and with the accessories available under the elf-sufficiency programs of Germany and Italy.
 The German Fashion Institute has acquired the Dutch publica- ton. International Textiles and put half of its pages at the dis posal of Italy.
 The Germans and Italians are to agree on the share of each in the export business.
 Paris has completed it's task. . the newspaper Giornale d'Italia said in commenting on the Axis plans.

ther, the old Sergeant, W 0 pitched the Indians to their last pennant 2l years ago. He's in mar velous shape" Peckinpaugh says. He'll win lot of games for us. Brown and Heving are slated for relief work.
 Eisenstat for Relief
 Southpaw Harry Eisenstat will serve as a reliefer. The status of the other pitchers still is in doubt Joe Krakauskas, from Washing ton. has been wild this spring Mike Naymick, from Wilkes-Barre has a wrenched wrist. Other carry overs from last season--Bill zuber and Nate Andrews-haven't stood out in the early drills.
 The best looking rookie is Dewey Adkins, 6-foot-2, l90-pounder from Oklahoma City. He started pro ball last year, won Is and lost eight for Pine Bluff and then won seven of eight for Rogers Horns by's Oklahoma City club.
 Tempers are calm. down here and the club spirit seems to be quite an improvement over last seasons.

should be even better defenslvely. It is possible that their hitting may fall off for both slugged at a pace quite bit better than their best minor league performances. Keltner is a whiz at third and his hickory mark should improve. Hal Trosky is fixture at first.
 The outfield is improved. Gerald Walker, from Washington, should add some power He knocked in 96 runs last yea-more than any, one on the Tribe except Boudreau. Stocky little Roy Weatherly will be in centerfield with Roy Bell or Jeff Heath filling out the garden. Both Bell and Heath are capable of hitting much better than they did last year.
 Gene Desautels, from Boston, will give Rollie Hemsley hand with the catching.
 Coed Pitching
 The Indians may have the best pitching staff in the league, head ed by the top finger of the ma- jors, Bob Teller Teller won 27 last year and may reach his pre- dicted 30-mark in 1941. Al Milnar, the lanky left-hander who won IS, is being counted on for around that number The veteran Mel Harder, 12-11 last year, is in bet ter shape this spring than in sev- eral years and Peckinpaugh looks for him to have a great year.
 Another lefty. Al Smith, copped Is games a year ago and may do it again, although some figure he may wind up with half dozen less triumphs.

 Tall Roger, brave enough to take another turn in the rough riding Indian saddle Che fell out cf 1t seven years ago), admits that winter trades have strengthened the Tribe. But after this burst of optimism he shifts to caution, per haps realism, and asks:
 But what about the Yankees?
 Everyone said the Yankees were lousy last year, that every thing fell apart, but where did they finish? Yeah, third. just one game behind us and two behind the Detroit winners.' he said.
 Well, where does that put us? Goes that make us look like a great Lall club, to be able to beat the lousy Yankees by a single game?
 T believe we're better this year more good players and improved spirit, but maybe those Yankees are going to be better, too
 Lcok Like Paoesetters
 On paper and off their record last year the Indians are the team to beat. Not many experts can see Detroit repeating and few rank the Red Sox or White Sox as seri- oas contenders. The Yankees arc a maybe team But the Indians are pIimed.

Opened 10 Buses

Secretary of the Interior Ickes to-

from Virginia over the Arlington
Memorial Bridge in order to improve
service to the War. Navy and other
departments in the Constitution

Parks Supt. irving c. Root noti-
fed the Public Utilities Commission
of the decision and its was under
stood that an order was being
drafted which would make it pos
sible for the new routes to be estab-
lished any time after tomorrow.
Mr.. Ickes said he hoped that the
three bus companies which operate
from Virginia would arrange their
schedules so attractively that many
persons now using private cars to
reach their Offices would ride the
buses instead. Thus, he pointed out,
traffic congestion would be reduced
and gasoline would be conserved.
The bus companies which would
be affected by the decision are the

ST. CHARLES, Va, July s.-A
crawling stream of earth, so feet
wide and Is feet high at points,
pushed downward through one sec
ton of the Bonny Blue Mining
Camp on Little Black Mountain
last night bowling over and crush
ing houses in its way. Six had been
demolished by early today and
others were threatened.
The tremendous pressure of waste
slate from the Blue Diamond Coal
Co.'S workings piled on the side of
the mountain on the Virginia-Ken-
lucky border, pressed the rain-soft-
ened earth along a path which ex-
tended about 1000 feet.
Crews of mine workers headed by
Supt. Smith williams sought to halt
the slide by ditching water from it..
The ground had been soaked by
nearly a week of rains.
The earth movement began late
yesterday and drove into the Jacks
Branch Hollow in two rows. Those
on the upper end were rolled over
and splintered, the wreckage OF one
being carried for some 200 feet be-
fore crews could remove it.
The dwellings were vacated before
the earth's onward movement, and
no injuries were reported.

Early Quotes British
Criticism Of Wheeler
On Iceland Leak
Refers to Senator'S
Prediction Of Action
As 20-to-1 Shot
By JOHN {. HENRY.

The White House quoted British
reaction today when questioned
about advance disclosures from SEN
ator Wheeler Democrat of Mon
tana, about American occupation
of Iceland.
The Senator, bitter critic of
administration foreign policy. said
publicly several days ago that he
understood such occupation was be-
ing planned.
Asked about the propriety Of cir
culating such information. White
House Secretary Stephen T Early
replied by reading from New York
Times story from London. The por-
ton quoted follows:
The British cannot understand
how, once the Iceland movement
was decided on, anybody could come
out in the open and tell the Germans
it was under way.
What Senator Wheeler said about
the movement of United States
troops is, Of course, in the British
view. the business of the Senator
and the United States.
But they are angry over the fact
that he involved their own troops
in giving away what was obviously
a military secret. There is bound
to be certain confusion when large
numbers of troops land.
The Germans might have taken
advantage of that confusion. and
British troops. as we'll as United
States Marines and Sailors, might
have been involved in resultant
slaughter"
Mr. Early secuted the reliability
of Senator Wheeler's actual informa-
ton by referring TO his prediction
as 20-to-l shot
The White House secretary refused
any direct comment this morning
on possible size and character of the
Iceland garrison, but in responding
to one query he implied that it is
not the present plan of the admins
tration to push American forces into
open conflict.
This answer came when he was
informed of quoted interview from
Gen. Sir Claude Auchinleck, new
commander in chief of British forces
in the Middle East, who said there
is as much need for American man
power in this war as in the last.
Mr.. Early's comment was that
Britains Prime Minister Churchill
had said. Give us the tools and we'll
do the job"
Presumably, Mr.. Early added. Gen.
Auchinleck is a subordinate to the
Prime Minister.
