Descendant of lncos . Tried to Restore Empire THE io.ycar administration oi * Andres Santa Cruz, pictured on the Bolivian stamp above, was one of the most brilliant In the history of the Latin American re- public. Reforms which he instir tuted placed Bolivia upon Q firm basis for future development.
 Descended from Atahuallpa, la. of the Inca emperors through his mother, Santa Cruz received his military training in the Spanish army, but later adopted the pas triot cause and gained distinction in the struggle for independence, He headed Bolivar's Council of state, governed Peru during the Liberator's absence, served as minister to Chile. He was elected president of Bolivia in 1928.
 Santa Cruz gave Bolivia It's legal code, established universi- ties at La Paz and Cochambamba. But his ambition ruined him.
 In i838 he united Peru and Bo. livia in a confederation, named himself Supreme Protector" Chile declared war. broke the con- federation and sent Santa Cruz Into exile. .

 No, sir,' both boys answered.
 "IIl tell you why" Van Horn said. Because of loyalty to your firm or your Army. Now let me ask all Of you one question: Don't you feel you owe that same loyalty to Cardman2"
 The crowd nodded sheepishly.
 Van Horn beamed. "in that case you can easily adjust your differences" He beckoned to where Paula, Kilo and Tony stood "Will you come here, Miss Jetfers and Beale -- and Miss Sherwood too, he added as Kilo hung back
 Then, very simply, he said "These three young people, par ticularly Miss Sherwood, rejected loyalty to their own small groups for a larger loyalty to Cardman I wish to thank them"
 Kllo, her face pale with emo- ton, said huSkily, "I--r don't de- serve that, pr. Van Horn, I'm en- tirely to blame for"
 Shall we forget it9" Van Horn smiled.
 Kilo whirled to face the stu- dents: League members, -- l think we should listen to pr, Van Horn," she choked.
 Voices were raised in quick agreement with her suggestion,
 Van Horan held up his hands for silence, Q sparkle of moisture in his eyes,
 We have arrived at a demo- cratic proineiple," h0 Sald T beg of you to carry It with you always when you leave Cardman. It Is your right as citizens Of Q free country to join any group you choose -- so long as it does not in- terfere with the sacred rights of another group You may all leave when you wish, and good tuck"
 Students began to fiie quietly tiioughtfully out of the barn. Bill JenkS was about to leave when Van Horn called to him.
 "Mr Jenks, should like to make certain you have your story correct"
 "sure, sure, Doc" Jenks grinned. Peace and harmony on the cam pus. pr. Van Horns great dlplo- macy brings rival groups to- gotherl"
 Van Horns big fingers bit Into the reporters shoulder, "You will write facts, MT. jenks, nothing more. Is that clear2"
 "fll write facts" Bill said rue- fully. go long, Doc"
 All the students, including Kilo, had departed. Lud turned to Tony. "You can take Paula home in my car. I'll ride with Van Horn and Larson"
 Maybe you'd rather I walked homer" Tony said as he helped her across the field,
 All too conscious of his hand on her arm, Paula replied, Irony, our truce is over, but that doesn't mean we have to quarrel
 Thanks, Paulie," he said with Q touch of irony,
 Tony drove the old coupe slowly, Paula was silent, mulling over the problem of Tony's actions. In near ly four years she'd never known him to do 6 mean thing, And yet, jailing Chris had been pure spite,
 She said, Chris didn't hit you Tony. Kilo borrowed his scarf that night"
 Tony said calmly, T never ] thought 1t was Chris"
 "Then why did you take the scarf to Dean Larson?"

Vitamin c Is
ObtainabIe In
Many Sources

Consumers who can no longer af-
ford to buy oranges because of pres
ent high prices have a choice of
several other foods relatively high
in vitamin G content, according to
Miss Harriet Elliott, head of the
Consumer Division of the Office of
Price Administration.
The most important other sources
of vitamin G are grapefruit, canned
tomatoes, spinach, raw cabbage,
raw salad green's, turnips and ruta-
bagaS.
| COOK WITH SKINS ON ,
Potatoes if cooked with their skins
on, may contribute important
amounts of this vitamin. Although
not as rich source as some other
vegetables, If eaten in liberal guam
titles they furnish enough Vitamin
G TO warrant their inclusion among
principal sources of this vitamin.

are used. However, if it is cooked in
a small quantity of water Just long
enough TO be tender, some vitamin
G is still retained.
Oranges have shown the greatest
advance in retail price from mid
September to mid-October of all
foods and there will probably be
further price advances. Increased
consumer demand and a smaller
winter crop will send the price of
this fruit upward.
TIPS ON BUYING
In mid-October, oranges were
selling at an average retail price
OF 37.5 cents a dozen. This is a
ten per cent increase over the aver
age retail price for September
and 25 per cent increase over mid
October, 1940 Oranges advanced 80
per cent more during the first two
weeks in November
However, if you must have
oranges, here are some tips to aid
you In buying them Buying tips
for other sources of Vitamin c will
be given in later releases.
Due to age or injury, wilted,
shriveled or flabby oranges are
sometimes found These are not de-
Sirable.
One may tell decayed oranges by
seeing if there are water soaked or
SOFT areas on the surface. These
areas are sometimes covered by a
mold.
Other tips for buying oranges in
clude: Cd Buy that variety which
is in greatest supply at local mar
kets. 60 Buy what variety which
is in season and which greatest
is raised nearest to your market
area. CD Buy them by the pound
instead OF by dozen. ~ Select your
own. 60 Do not handle roughly
when buying. CO. Remember that
appearances and quality are not al
ways closely associated.
