with me that her permanent absence won't

Redheads with green eyes have always jinxed
me. Take her away, take her away!"
Little ones. you would have been proud of
Granny in this crisis. "McMillier is delirious,
Spinner" said with dignity. He is running
at least five degrees Of fever. and he is
extremely toxic He'll never make it to L. A.
He's got to stay right here in Omaha"
Dear. good Spinner stood by me nobly.

A certain amount of force had to be used,

there were other nurses and few doctors who

Grandpop kid you about that Why. children,
your nasty old Granny even prayed.
So now. as write, Pilot Puddenhead
McMillier is definitely convalescent The guy

the bones of his face show through and gives
him spiritual appearance. He had shave

a man as steady diet, but it certainly does
things for big, rough hooligan like Grandpop.
You are sweet little flower of St.
Francis" told him.
Get out of here. you green-eyed monster"
he yelled.
From this you will gather that our relation
ship is somewhat less than tender. The beast
knows that am in love with him. He knows
that because when he woke up, after passing
the crisis he caught me crying behind the
screen of the medicine table 1t only embar-
raised him. He lodged the issue, saying: Il
don't like crybabies. If Doc Morton is mean
to you, sass him back. Don't hide in corner
and bawl."
Yes, sir" said.
But l have tipped my mitt and spoiled
everything Danny No-Dames- In-My-Life
McMillier does not consider himself marry

this wretched, cowardly attitude Granny has
not been quite dumb enough to ask him about
it, but know what he would say: I'm a

May Salvage

NEW YORK, Feb. 1l-(R-
Whether the fire-eaten and wat

deeper in her bed of Hudson
river mud.
And even before that question
can be answered by q special

luckless sea queen Is In for many
months Of slumber lying on her
port side in eight fathoms of
water and silt alongside her
pier.
AS salvage expert prepared
to launch q lengthy survey on
the possibility Of saving the $780,
100000 liner that became the
U. S. naval auxiliary Lafayette
before fire swept her for four
hours Monday. the Navy indicat-
ed 1t had not abandoned hope.
"The Navy supports no such
contention at this time" was the
third Naval districts reply to q
question whether the 50, ASTON
ship was beyond salvage.
Should the herculean task be
deemed possible, the one-time
glistening beauty Is expected to
be found little more than q shell
of her former self.
Salt water and silt are already
gnawing at her powerful engines
and electrical wiring, while her
upper decks are q blackened
mass of flame-seared wreckage.
Rumors that saboteurs were
responsible for setting the blaze
that injured 220 and killed one

DR.. Bliss said the danger of
over consumption of sugar lay
not in the sugar itself, which he
termed 1.-The purest food product
available" but in crowding out
of the diet other foods richer in
vitamins and minerals.
1.-THE publication of sugar
removes from it the vitamins
and minerals that accompanied
il in the crude state" he explain
ed.
"Vitamins and minerals are
absolutely essential in the diet
for normal nutrition, and it is
becoming increasingly clear
that the ideal way of obtaining
our surplus of these important
materials is to select the natural
foods that contain them, rather
than by adding the separate
vitamins to our diet"
DR.. Bliss suggested potatoes,
corn and bread-particularly
whole wheat bread-as "cheap
and good" foods to substitute for
sugar.

DETROIT, Feb. 11-(P-
A labor dispute shut down the
new tool and die department of
the Ford Motor Co.'S Rouge
plant for the second time in ID
hours last night, but operations
resumed with the day shift.
Members of the United Auto

were turned off at $40 p. m.
The department has been pro-
ducing tools for the new Bomber
plant at YpSinlanti.
Union officials said the dis
pute stemmed from their de-
mand for the discharge of mill
ing machine operator accused
of striking an apprentice during
an argument Sunday night. They
said company representatives
told them the shutdown was q
disciplinary measure.

Sugar Shortage

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. IL
R-Don't worry about the sug-

blessing in disguise.
SO thinks DR.. Sidney Bliss,
professor of biochemistry at the
Tulane School of Medicine, who
points out that daily only 8.8
pounds of sugar per person were
consumed in the United States in
1923, compared to lob pounds
per person in 1881.
DR.. Bliss said in an interview
today that nutritionists believe
sugar rationing offers a chance
to improve the Nations diet by
making necessary the substitu-
ton of other vitamin-rich foods
and minerals for sugar.
Zone of the major detectives
in improving the Nations diet
has been that of reversing the
upward trend of sugar consump-
ton in the United States" he
