Dietary Tricks TO Keep You
On Safe and SveIte Side
Nv IDA JEAN KAN

REDUcERS ARE always on
the lookout for a few tricks 10
help us keep 10 the safe and
svelte side -- say. like toasting
the bread Does that help 10
dry out the STARCH >"
That's a fair question. but the
answer may be disappointing
toaStlng the bread some times
adds calories for the simple rea-
son that you are apt to eat more
OF II than of plain bread. How
ever. the calories in bread or
toast depend on how thin you
slice il and how much butter
you spread on il. Soft butter
spreads farther and a thin film
Of butter counts less.
Neat Trick
"A neat trick is 10 balance the
menu so that you include some
foods which help YOU to feel full
and some which stay by you.
Fibrous vegetables are bulky
and help you feel satisfied
quickly Have one or two of
these plus a chevy sal a d or
crunchy biscuits 70 give you the
illusion of having dined well.
Then TO keep from getting too
hungry between meals. have a
protein food-lean meat. eggs
or h e c - in your reducing
meal.
II may be helpful to know
that hard 90 k g d eggs have
greater staying qualities tn a n
eggs which are soft cooked. Also.
start the meal with a hot soup
or top il off with hot beverage
they give a sense of safety
and comfort all out of proper
ton TO their low calorie content.
Afternoon Pickup
Along about 4 in the after
noon - when that all gone feel
ing begins TO sneak up on you
take a hot beverage. A cup of
tea with one lump of sugar
counts very little in calorieS. Or.
you m ght prefer piping hot
bouillon, a glass of fruit Juice or
some fruit. For a real treat.
have a cup of hot cocoa made
with skim milk and favored
with vanilla
The rule on these afternoon
pick-me-ups is not TO let them
exceed 100 calories. II you feel
the effects of your diet during
the afternoon. it is much better
10 have a low-calorie snack of
this kind TO tide yourself over.

British Production
Eases Pressure on
u. ). Steel Mills
Orders Are Suspended
For Carbon Type for
At Least Two Months
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April z.-Iron Age
magazine said today British steel
production and supplies of steel in
Britain were above anticipations
and hence the pressure Of English
orders on the domestic industry had
relaxed slightly.
The British, said the trade pub
lication, have suspended orders for
all carbon steels (alloys not being
affected) for two months, or until
further notice.
AS a result, said the magazine,
some consumers may obtain ship
ments a little sooner than they
expected"
Conserve Shipping Space.
Iron Age said that in addition to
supplies in England, about 100000
tons Of semi-finished and finished
steel and additional tonnages of
pig iron and scrap were at United
States docks awaiting shipment. In
view OF this, it was considered de-
sirable to conserve shipping space
for other supplies more urgently
needed.
Exports of steel to Great Britain
have declined in recent months, the
magazine continued. They totaled
around 350.000 tons in January, fell
to about 100000 in February and
were probably less in March.
March Business Heavier.
March steel business" Iron Age
added, was heavier than that of
February, creating April blacklogs
larger than those of a month ago.
The buying pace may slow up some
what, however, because some mills
are declining to book orders for
1912 and can take little or no addi-
tional business in some products
for this year.
Government prices on iron and
steel scrap, which will be announced
this week, will follow the pattern
of the controls over prices of
aluminium and zinc scrap. The Iron
Age scrap composite price has de-
clined slightly to s2025."

Axis Funds in i. ).
Being Transferred
To Latin America
Conversion Into locul
Curreneies Might Buy
Supplies for Raiders
By OLIVER MCKEE.

Axis funds in the United States,
in amounts as yet unknown, have
been transferred in recent weeks to
Latin America, according to reports
reaching Government officials here.
A considerable quantity of European
capital reached Latin America last
year through the United States. The
present movement is believed to
consist largely of transfers by the
totalitarian belligerents.
Including long and short term
holdings, German investments in the
United States last August totaled
$113 ,000, 900 and those Of Italy $82,-
100000, the Commerce Department
recently estimated. These figures do
not include hidden" axis funds
that Is, securities and bank deposits
held for axis owners by inter-
mediaries. Though the amount is
unknown, it is believed that the total
thus held is substantial.
Last year the net inflow of capi-
tai to the United States was ap-
proximately 81 10000 900 greater
than that indicated by the reported
figures, the Commerce Department
revealed last week Including this
unrecorded movement. the net in
flow Of capital to the United States
in 1910 totaled approximately $780,
900 900.
More Funds for Propaganda.
So far, the United States has
taken no move toward seizing or
freezing German and Italian funds
in this country. The current move
ment of axis funds to Latin America
is believed to reflect in part a de-
sire of the owners to protect these
funds if war comes.
Reports indicate that the bulk
Of the funds transferred are being
converted into local currencies. One
result of this movement. therefore,
it is pointed out, will be to increase
the amount of money available in
Latin America for totalitarian prop
aganda and to purchase supplies
for Nazi raiders that may be op-
Grating in South Atlantic waters.
Some of the funds transferred are
kept in the form of dollar exchange.
During the last few months. Japan
has taken steps to increase her ac-
counts in Latin American countries.
Japan is also reported to have trans
ferred to Latin America some funds
that have been held in the United
States In addition to s45 900 900 in
long-term investments. Japan has
about $4,000, 900 short-term hold
ings In this country, according to
Commerce Department estimates.
Restrictions on Refugees.
European refugees have sent some
money to Latin America for safe
keeping, most of it through the
United States. One obstacle facing
European refugee capital is the re-
strictions placed by many Latin
American countries on the employ
ment of foreigners. These restric-
tions have made 1t dificult for
European refugees to use their
money to start businesses Of their
own, or to secure employment in
enterprises in which they have in
vested their money.
American capital has been repre-
sented in the recent movement Of
funds to Latin America. Some
American money has been invested
in Latin-A American industries, and
other enterprises.

Administration May
Crack Down on
Food Spectators
Operators Suspected
Of Seeking Undue Profits
Under Leuse-Lend Plan
D. the Associated Press.

D. the Associated Press.
The administration, it was learned
today, may act soon to crack down
on food spectators suspected OF
seeking undue" profits either from
domestic needs or from those OF
Great Britain and the other nations
marked for lease-lend aid.
The question of food profiteering
was understood to have figured
prominently in official conferences
now in progress looking to formula
tion of a broad program to assure
adequate supplies both for domestic
and foreign aid requirements.
Indications were that the details
OF the general program would be
outlined in the near future in a
formal Government announcement.
Price Controls Likely.
Administration sources, mean
while. reported that evidence un-
covered in the food study to date
might cause the Government to i'm
pose price controls unless the food
industry itself took action to elimi-
nate undue" speculation and price
advances
In this connection, it was said the
administration was perturbed over
recent speculative activity in food
stuffs which Great Britain was ex-
pected TO seek as lease-lend as
sistance.
The fundamentals of the food
supply general program were dis
cussed yesterday at a White House
conference attended by Secretary OF
Agriculture Wickard and Leon
Henderson. member of the National
Advisory Defense Commission.
A further exploration of the prob
lem-both from the viewpoint Of
home as well as foreign needs-is
scheduled for tomorrow at a closed
meeting Of the Agriculture Advisory
Council. This council, organized at
the outbreak Of the war, includes
representatives of the general pub
lie, labor and Of the organized pro-
ducers. processorse and distributors
Of food products.
Needs Being Surveyed.
Food policies now being formu-
lated were expected to be concerned
with the meat situation. The Agri-
culture Department has reported
that total slaughter supplies of live
stock, particularly hogs, were ex-
pected to be smaller during the next
six months than year ago. 1t said
this reduction would be accom-
panied by price advances.
Surveys of food supplies and po-
tential needs are now being made.
Ofncials said they may show need
for expansion in production of sew
eral types of food this summer. In
cluded might be dairy products, some
truck crops. potatoes, poultry prod
ucts and possibly some specially
crops.
Agriculture Department officials
said that despite British needs for
many foods of which this country
has no excessive supplies. the ad-
ministration had no intention of
abandoning programs for distribut-
ing such products among needy
families. Increased production,
rather than decreased consumption
at home will be emphasized, they
said.

Advances Range From

Over Wide Area

BY tt. Associated Press.
AUSTIN. Tex, April 2.-From the
Texas Gulf Coast nearly to the
Great Lakes, oil producers were all
smiles today because of a general
increase in the price of crude.
1t was the first boost in several
years for most of the areas involved.
The raises, instituted last Saturday
by the Humble Co., biggest purchaser
in Texas, ranged from to II cents
a barrel.
Besides Texas, affected States in
cluded Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mex
leo, Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.
In Texas interested persons
weighed the probable effects of the
price hike on proposed legislation to
increase the State oil tax. The
House has passed a bill containing
a provision which would boost the
oil levy from 234 to Az per cent OF
value.
A Skelly Oil Co. official asserted
that a fundamental improvement in
the refined oil market and higher
rate of demand" contributed to the
price increase.
