Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-16

This kind Of initiation Is not
difficult to understand. 1t means
a boom that gets out OF control
and results in a crash. Prices
rise so fast they connot he
sustained. The dollar cheapens in
valae every time a price rises.
More dollars are needed to buy
food and clothing.
Finally. the dollar may buy
only so cents or less of what IT
formerly bought. When people
come TO see this and lose con-
fidence. the crash begins.
No one beats initiation. Only
a few SPECTATORS. lucky enough
10 time their operations success
fully, have ground for hope. Those
who possess anything OF value feel
the full percentage effect OF the
loss. The poor man generally
loses his Job or his home or his
automobile (anything he does not
own outrighD. The farmer. least
able 10 pay his debts and taxes,
generally loses most.
But there is a tendency among
worker and farmer 10 like the
high prices and good living while
they last, not looking forward 10
the time Of suffering ahead. Thus
an absence of popular pressure
on Congress and the administra-
tion for courageous action is gen.
orally noticeable.

Initiation could be stopped but
there is no sound evidence yet
that il will be. Indeed some adj
ministration leftists are beginning
10 claim il might not be so bad,
saving il is a method of taxa
ton, a capital levy in disguise.
Britain failed TO stop the spiral
with the same feeble measures
that we propose TO employ. But
Hitter stopped il in Germany In
circustances 10 times worse than
ours.
The remedies are simple. A
courageous fixing OF all prices
and wages might alone accomplish
the result in our situation. This
does not mean the loose formula
suggested by the administration,
or the far feebler bill now in
the House, would do the job,
But an arbitrary overall law,
making violations criminal Of
Tense (for initiation is crime
against the people), might be suf-
ficiently observed to effect the
results. Because this Is not now
even being considered Is the main
reason a severe initiation Is &C.
copied as inevitable.
Rationing could be imposed as
an implement OF enforcement, If
necessary. (Mr. CASTOR mentioned
this as a possibility for next
year)
Taxation Is being offered by
the treasury as the main antidote,
but outside economists list IL third.
Utmost revenue is needed to
finance the defense effort any,
way. so il these taxes serve the
secondary purpose OF absorbing
the excess income OF the people.
II can thus be justified. But
the old-fashioned Liberty Bond
would be much Of the same job
better.

WASHINGTON, Nov. IS. - The
specter OF initiation Is rising be-
hind the news. A price admins
tratfon assistant told local
audience initiation Is not coming,
ii is here.
Robert Nathan. respected as the
governments most evenly balanced
economist, told a New York
audience:
There IL no question hut that
we are IN a stage Of initiation.
Prices have been rising too
fast"
Assistant Treasury Secretary
CASTOR said about the same thing
in a New Haven address.
Some of this official talk may
be attributed TO the govern
ment's desire to get the price
control and tax bills through Con-
gress. But the point is accepted
as sound in the financial marts
outside OF government influence.
Organizations of college econo-
mists are pamphleteering daily
concerning the danger. Panicky
booklets are In circulation.
This IL the same kind Of IN
flation which Mr.. Roosevelt told
Congress only last July 80 would
rum the defense effort and the
people-not merely those people
who have money TO lose, but the
poor who suffer most in the crash
that always follows spirals that
Get out of control.

initiation. Financial experts tell
you 10 buy things Of material
worth. like jewels, land. antiques,
possibly common stocks. But II
YOU try 10 sell these in the post

GpyERTTsTMENT
Evening star., 1941-01-22
BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY.

Following the contour of the fam
lily figure, this herring is typical.
1t has a compressed body that is
much deeper than thick, moderately
pointed nose, generouS-sized mouth,
lower jaw projecting beyond the
upper -one, sharp-edged belly and
deeply -forked tail. The dorsal fin
stands over the small ventral fins.
The scales are large and so loosely
attached that they come off easily.
1t is believed that this herring is
the most abundant fish in the Gulf
of Maine and is also likely to be
just as abundant in the North
Atlantic. To list the places where
you may catch the herrings would
be a task. Schools appear as they
migrate from one place to another.
Since this herring is an impor-
tant food fish, its life cycle has been
carefully watched here and in Eu-
rope. Its eggs sink to the bottom,
and because their surface has a
coating of mucus they cling to sticks,
sand and anything they touch, often
forming masses on anchors, ropes
of vessels and net warps.
Each female will have from 10000
to 10000 eggs, averaging about 10000.
They hatch in from 10 to IS days,
according to the temperature of the
water. Herrings spawn chiefly on
hard, rocky, gravelly or sandy bot
toms, never on mud. The eggs may
be found in spring, summer and
autumn.
Young herrings are known as lar
vac and are very slender. A herring
is 4 years old before it spawns and
it will continue to spawn as long
as it lives, maybe for 20 years.
On the coasts of New England,
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,
young herrings l and years old
come inshore early in the spring,
spending the summer and autumn
there. Very little Is definitely known
about where many great schools of
herring spend their winters. But
some of them seek deep waters,
where the temperature is more
genial. This is also true of Euro
pean herrings.
Herrings live on plankton. During
their youth they feast upon larval
gastropods, diatoms, peridinians and

Opening schools at $50 am. for

The motion, presented by Harvey

Military road route was preferred.

Flanagan Reports

BY the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Jan. 22.-Represen-
tative Flanagan Of the 9th district
reported to the secretary of the
Commonwealth yesterday expenses
Of s340 in his campaign for re-elec-
ton last fall.
He expressed regret for not having
filed his report within 80 days Of
the election but said that he had
not received blanks from the State
and this probably accounted for his
overlooking the matter. He had
filed with the clerk of the House of
Representatives a list of expenses.
Mr. Flanagan and Representa-
tive Woodrum Of Roanoke were
among five candidates who did not
file within the prescribed 80 days.
Mr. Woodrum filed last week, how
ever, leaving only three defeated
candidates who have not yet made
reports.

Millions of these fishes are caught
as "sardines." Even billions of adult
herrings have been caught during
abundant years. Yet we must not
think that this is an unlimited sup
ply. For as always, there are good
and lean years. They apparently
disappear for a time in some loca-
tions to rebuild their heavily deci-
mated numbers.

at ner pie crust
through a magnifying glass or mi
croscope often gives a clue as to
what is the matter.
Flaky pastry is made up of many,
many thin layers of dough separat-
ed by long, thin air pockets or spaces
formed when the layers of fat and
flour are separated by steam dur
ing the baking.
Part of this fiakiness depends
upon the manner in which the fat
is cut into the flour and part upon
the handling of the dough. If
part of the fat is rubbed in with the
fingers or pastry blender, until it
is in very small particles and is
evenly distributed throughout all Of
the flour; and if the remainder Of
the fat is cut in so that it is in
fairly large pieces about the size
of navy beans or peas, then the
crust has an excellent chance of be-
ing both tender and fiaky. The large
pieces of fat separate the flour into
layers, while the small particles
tend to make the dough more
tender.
II all the fat is distributed in
small particles the crust is apt to
be "crunbly" rather than flaky.
To this fat and -four mixture is
added the water, procedure which
is best accomplished with a fork.
The dough is worked lightly to-
gether into a ball so that it can be
rolled out. Overhandling at this
point foreshadows a tough crust, yet
the dough must be kneaded enough
so that it will stick together and
form a smooth sheet under the roll
ing pin. A slightly richer formula
a proportion of Is cup of fat to cup
of -four instead Of the usual Va cup
Of -four to cup of fat, makes it
possible to handle the pastry dough
more without toughening it appre-
