Action Taken to Correct
Southeost's inequalities
Py the Associated Press.

ATLANTA, March 31.-The re-
gional Office of Price Administration
effective today. placed dollar and
cents ceiling prices on fresh cabbage,
snap beans and peas for the purpose
of correcting inequalities" of pres
ent controls diverting the vegetables
away from Southeastern markets to
other markets where prices are
higher
The effective area of the new
order, replacing one issued March
II, includes Virginia. the Carolinas,
Georgia. Florida, Alabama, Missis-
sippi and Tennessee.
The OPA announcement said
prices at levels for all handlers, in
Guiding retailers. will be based on
markups from the following "coun-
try shipper prices:
Cabbage. $685. per hundredweight
5.85 cents per pound.
Snap beans, s5.75 per bushel COS
cents per pound.
Peas, 81 per bushel 14.2 cents per
pound.
Retail dealers and all intermediate
handlers, the OPA said, will compute
their prices by using the previously
set specific markups. In the case
of retailers, the maximum markup
for cabbage is so per cent and for
snap beas and peas, 80 per cent.
AS for consumer prices, the OPA
said that "in some instances the
order means the consumer will pay
slightly higher prices and in few
others slightly lower prices" but
added that. with the advancing
season putting additional supplies
on the market, prices in all likeli-
hood will drop below the ceilings"

KANSAS CITY, March 31.-Speck.
the home-loving lion. was induced
yesterday by juicy steak-no mean
bribe in these days of rationing-to
join the circus.
1t was the meat problem in the
first place that prompted his owner,
Mrs Mary Pratt, to launch him on
public career. He eats from l8 to %
pounds day and Mrs Pratt figured
that might run the rest of her board
ers short under rationing. She gave
him to Clyde Beatty, wild animal
trainer.
But Speck liked the boarding house
basement pen that had been his
home since cubhood, five years ago,
and refused by savage roaring and
lunging for two days to enter
travelling cage.
Finally as police and William T. A.
Gully, zoo director, were about to
give up and slip Speck knockout
pill, the 600-pound lion trapped him.

Argues for Workers
AT Wage Hearing
Urges WLB Approval
Of Roise for ), 200 at
Storage Battery Plant

Appearing before the War Labor
Board last night at a hearing on
wage increases for 5000 employees
of the Electric Storage Battery Co..
Philadelphia, Samuel w. Rolph,
company vice president, reversed
the usual procedure by arguing for
the employees.
They feel they have money COM
ing to them and wonder why they
have not received it." said Mr..
Rolph, adding that for once in his
life he had enjoyed labor negotia-
ton. He said the men needed re-
lief.
The employees are requesting a 5
cents an hour increase for all en-
ployes and other upward revisions
for certain job claSsiications.
In two other cases the board or
dered a wage increase sought by
the Federation of Woolen and Wor-
sted Workers, AFL, but denied it
any form of union security in a
contract with six Boston wool ware
houses: refused request for a pay

In refusing union security in the
Boston case the board upheld its

employees had violated labors pledge
not to strike for the duration OF
the war.
Roger D. Lapham and George K.
Bait. industry members, dissented
in the decision which approved an
increase of 3l2 cents an hour to
bring the rates of the six companies
in line with those of the alority
of wool warehouses in that area. A
request for one weeks vacation with
pay was denied.
The employees union OF w. J.
Jarvis Co., Grand Rapids. Mich.
was refused an increase designed
to restore wages to their former
level, on the ground that it's $50

G. This is one reason that tomatoes
should be prepared and canned as
quickly as possible. Usually whole
tomatoes have more food value than
tomato juice, partly because a con
siderable amount of vitamin A is
lost in the pulp that fails to &c
through the stralner when the juice
is made, but mainly because greater
exposure to air destroys vitamin G
If you want first-class canned to-
matoes, use freshly gathered, firm
ripe, sound fruit-one small bad spot
can ruin whole batch. Wash the
tomatoes before scalding; scald
few at time. Remove all core,
slip off the skins, and cut away
green spots Pack the tomatoes tight
into clean hot jars-this is best done
by pressing each tomato down with
a wooden spoon Add salt to season
to suit your taste-the usual amount
is one teaspoon to the quart. Seal
jars according to manufacturer in
hot water bath If tomatoes are
not fresh from the garden, process
As minutes.
No juice can be better than the
fruit from which it is made, SO be
sure to use strictly fresh, firnn-ripe,
red tomatoes, which are free from
all decay. Wash we'll and cut away
any green spots or weather cracks.
Weather cracks are those splits that
form around the stem ends when
hot sunshine follows hard rain.
Such tomatoes are unfit for canning
or juice unless used Immediately
after picking. Leave the tomatoes
whole and steam or bake them until
they are soft; then press through
fine sieve, preferably cone-shaped
one; reheat the juice to simmering;
pour into sterilized jars and process
SO minutes at simmering. The pulp
will separate from the juice unless
a very fine sieve is used or if too
much heat is applied at any time.
Oh, so you boil the juice in an open
kettle until it is thick? Well, that's a
fine way to get rid of most of those
precious vitamins
The best tasting juice is that made
by pressing whole home canned to-
matoes through sieve just before
serving. Any seasonings liked may
be added before canning but the
Juice will be better if seasonings,
except salt, are added when the
juice is opened for serving, and even
the salt may be left out.

Customs Change
In Relation to
The Times
Mourning in u artime
Increases Grief
OF Others
Rr E,o;Ir Past
By Emily Post

The question OF whether it Is
patriotic to permit oneself the pro-
tection-and to some degree COM
fort-Which the wearing Of mourning
brings to many of those who are
bereayed is the subject Of the fol-
lowing letter; II have just lost
son overseas. My impulse is to wear
deepest mourning and stay in it
Indefinitely. But 7 am told that
this is an mpatriotic thing to do
in wartime. If this is so, will you
tell me why?"
It seems to me that while un-
patriotic is too strong a term to
apply to such a natural impulse as
the wearing of mourning, it Is
really very important to think of the
many others whose hearts are also
overseas and whose anxieties are
increased by every new evidence Of
mourning.
Dear Mrs. Post--My sister has
Just had son and he is to be named
John Doe Shall he be the sixth
because he is the sixth in the family
with that name. However, four of
the others have passed on.
Answer-Sovereigns alone count
the number of Johns" who have
preceded them. Ordinary people
count only those who are living.
In the case of the sixth John Doe,
he will be John Doe, jr., if his
father or grandfather is now the
only other living John Doe But
if it is his uncle who is the present
John Doe, the baby is John Doe, I'd.
Dear Mrs. Post-Will you please
tell me how to answer an invitation
like this one:
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
Miss Mary Brown
at home
the Nineteenth of February
at 10 o'clock
AnSWer-Since the hour is even
ing. you should send your acceptance
or regrets in the third person:
Mi and Mrs. John Jones
accept with pleasure
Mr.. and Mrs Browns
and
Miss Mary Browns
kind invitation for the 10th of
February
at 10 o'clock
The wording of regret is the
same, excepting that the second line
reads regrets that they are unable
to accept" But if the invitation
were for the afternoon, Mrs. Brown S
name would probably appear alone
and no answer would be required
unless a reply is asked for.
In this case, while a third-person
reply is correct when the hostess
is only an acquaintance, you may
quite properly answer the invitation
of friend by writing across your
visiting card, Coming Friday with
pleasure" or so sorry can't be with
you Friday"

Nj a n ne rs
Of the
Nom ent

I believe thoroughly in the fine
art Of escapism-if judiciously used
in these arduous times.
l thoroughly admire those people
Uho know how to bury their heads
under an open magazine and fall
asleep. The trick, 1 am told. is
to avoid the pages whose material
and pictures are exciting and turn
to those with advertisements and
text which are milder. With your
eyes on column relating, perhaps,
TO some rather boring domestic sit
uation. bring the magazine closer
and closer to your eyes until a
long -drawn-out reconciliation pas
sage is actually resting on your
nose.
You shouldn't indulge for too
long. But once in a while this form
or any form, for that matter-of
escaping from the world will help
to preserve your sanity At least
that's the way I find it, Perhaps
the psychologists would say I'm all
wrong. But I'm prepared to an
swer them if they want to deluge
me with complaints. JEAN.
