The Longest Way Round

Vice-President Wallace is planning to visit Chungking in the "late spring or early summer" as the Presidents repre- sentative Wendell Willkie once visited there on a similar mission. That was be- fore his shorter and somewhat less suc- cessful trip to Wisconsin.
 With the political conventions coming up in Chicago (also in "early summer') MT. Wallace couldn't be blamed if he were to pause and contemplate the Willkle journeys afresh, and to question the po- iitical desirability of trying to reach the vicinity of Lake Michigan by way ot China.

HULL'S AIDE
 Although Silver-thatched Ed Stettinius got off to slow start, he is increasing in stature as Undersecretary of State.
 More and more, the White House has been calling him in on con- fidential matters, very much in the manner FDR called in Sum- ner Welles rather than Secretary Hull. Stettinius is painstakingly patient in explaining all matters to Hull, devoting considerable time to going over things point by point, or else visiting MT. Hull in his hotel apartment, where the old gentleman takes time off on account of his health.
 StettiniuS is an excellent Or-. ganiZer and personnel man, and his chief clash with Hull so far has been over recognizing the

Selected Poem
NEW GEOGRAPHY: MAINE COAST

NEW GEOGRAPHY: MAINE COAST Marguerite Janvrin Adams in the New York Times There will be islands. new salt-flavored islands Upon this coastline after we are gone. Like Moorish castles sharp crags life their spen-
 dor;
 Seals sun thereon. There will be other sheep to climb the gulles That cover Birthstone, and we shall not mind Should apple trees Hurricane hang heavy Against the wind. Matinicus will know young gulls with feathers More alabaster- white against quay, And sister islands of a strange enchantment Spiced from the sea. There will be new richc savers for the tasting, Fresh sounds and scents of ocean that will come Unknown for we who love will lie unseeing Our cold lips dump

State Department, but Hull has blocked most of his moves in thiS direction. The Depart ment still rumbles on as if did before.
 Stettinius has one definite ham, dicap in dealing with foreign am- bassadors. His background in foreign affairs is limited. So when he talks to the Chinese or Argentine or any other ambassa- dor, he merely repeats what the State Department adviser on any particular country has already laid down. Sumner Welles, on the other hand, was so familiar with foreign affairs that he was able to reverse the State Department adviser If that adviser was wrong.

SLACKER FLESH AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE

surar of any kind, like starch whether in or derived from corns wheat flour, potato or other cereal fod plant, is just carbohydrate so far as human nutrition Is co1cerneo' and it doesn't make 8 bit Of dtt1er- enc ein which form you take car- bohvdrate-every gram of 1t yields 4 calories or approximately 1l5 cal ories per ounce; and the calor1eS are available for muscular energy as quickly if you take the carbony- drate as potato or cornstarch as they are if you take the carbony- drate in the form of fancy kino of sugar. Incidentally, muscular work, play, exercise, is the only en- ergy or manifestation of energy we know. Physiology recognizes no such thing as nervous" or mental" en- ergy, and by the same token no known fod is a brain" or nerve" food more than it Is a muscle" ''heart" or "ear' food.
 Wild animals do not become obese in their natural state, except those that hibernate, but when kept in captivity they tend to grow too fat. Is this wholly because in their natural state animals have to work or struggle for their food? Or is 1t partly because animals in cap- tivity and domestic animals receive more or less refined, denaturalized food-natural food which has been deprived of part or all of its vita mins and minerals?
 When an individual gets an ade- quate daily ration of vitamins and minerals, in his food or as sup plement to his refined diet, he is unlikely to crave excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates, that Is foods consisting chiefly of sugar Or starch and having high caloric values. Excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates accounts for overweight or superfluous flesh in the great majority of cases.
 There is excellent scientific ground for the concept that this craving or hunger for refined carbohydrates Is a perverted manifestation of an instinctive demand of the body for the vitaminS and minerals the re- fined modern diet fails to supply comparable with the quest of deer or rang e cattle for salt lick. The more refined carbohydrate consumed the greater the bodys need for the vitaminS and minerals, and this 1n- stinctive demand for vitamins and minerals makes the individual crave still more refined carbohydrates, and that's the vicious circle of cor pulency.

 Ask Your Doctor
 What vitamins would be good for one with pulmonary tuberculosis? Are some fodS mucous forming? notice I usually raise ofter drinking milk, but they tell us we need the calcium 1t contains. (M. c. Al 4Answer-No foods are "mucus- forming"-that is quack bait. You write from hospital for tuberculo- sis. I advise you to ask your doctor and no one else, about vitan1ins, foods or anything pertaining to your welfare.
 Running Ear
 For about two years have had a running ear-it started with gath ering in the ear, but it keeps on running. Once saw a formula you gave for running ear. IN. T.) Answer-Send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for 1t. It calls for an ounce or so of pure grain alcohol-if your druggist can't supply that without prescription you're out of luck.
