New Vegetable
Varieties Ready
For Gardeners
BY ANN STEVICK
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, Jan. 15-The season
when your fancy lightly turn TO be-
quilting illustrations in seed cata-
logues soon will be here. A report
on the war activities of the Office
Of Experiment Stations describes
new vegetable varieties with posi-
bilities for adventurous Victory
gardeners in 1914.
The Michigan experimental sta
ton has developed Early Chatham,
a new extra early variety Of to-
mato. In Louisiana, a new sweet
potato with twice the vitanin con-
tent of ordinary varieties has been
produced. 1t will be used as a car
bohydrate filler and vitamin A forth
fer by candy manufacturers. There
is new yellow sweet corn offered
for trial growth in 1914. In three
year tests in comparison with Col
den Bantam, 1t produced an 10 per-
cent greater yield, ripened six days
later, and is thought to be sweeter.
BLUE CHEESE NOTE
Fancy cheese such as Liederkranz,
Danish blue, Camembert and cheese
spreads probably will dwindle In
supply. They are not made under
quota restriction now, but 1t Is
pretty certain they will be. About
a million quarts Of milk have been
going into cheese other than Amer
lean cheddar. At least half Of this
is needed to bring cheddar produc-
ton up to essential demand. But
even that won't help civilian sup
plies; the extra production will go
to meet growing military demands.
ODDS AND ENDS
Prices on oak, pecan, and some
hardwood hoorings have been given
new ceilings which amount to a
rise Of about "A per cent Pre-
war model baby carriages, strollers,
walkers and pushcarts will reappear
on the market In about six weeks
Civilian supplies Of yeast for
this year will be greater than last
year.

Self-Regard is another native
emotion not to be despised or SUI
pressed, but educated, directed,
and used. At no point have con-
ventional moralists done PERSONAL
ity more disservice than In their
disparagement OF self-love. They
sometimes WELD the word SELF
ishness" like bludgeon, cracking
down on all forms Of self-consider-
alton until sensitive consciences are
persuaded that whatever Is to ones
own advantage is likely to be wrong
Shakespeare's sound sense cannot
| be denied:
Self-love, my liege, Is not 30
Vile sin
As self -neglecting.
Indeed, a greater than Shake
speare based his summaries OF the
moral law squarely on self-regard.
Love thy neighbor as thy
self" involves the proposal that we
start with the love Of self, take It's
measure, give full scope to its mean
ing at its best, and then love our
neighbor in the same way" What
soever We would that men should
do unto you, even so do ye also UNI
to them" is impossible OF fulfill
ment unless one begins with self
consideration and then extends the
same consideration to others. Jesus
ethic plainly involves not the sup
preston OF self-regard but Its sub
limation.
From self-regard when 1t goes
wrong spring vanity and pride,
avarice and greed, meanness and
cruelty. Some people live habitu-
ally in the spirit with which Mas
cagni dedicated his opera. the
Masks: ITO myself with distin-
guished esteem and unalterable sat
isfaction." When, however, 1t Is
proposed as q remedy that we cease
caring for ourselves and care only
for others, when self-regard and al
truism are thus set over against
each other as though they were
mutually exclusive, we are faced
with a solution both psychological
ly impossible and ethically false. We
cannot and ought not to stop car
ing for ourselves. Our initial busi-
ness in life is TO care so much for
ourselves that I tackles Me, de-
ter1nined to make out Of him some
thing worth while. II we fail IN
meeting that, we fail in everything.
Jesus principle, therefore. Is psy-
chologically unassailable: Unless q
man knows how TO love himself
well, he will have neither criterion

Beauties Hints
Coat Lips Twice
To Keep Ruffled
Tissues Smooth
By ALICIA HART
NEA staff Writer

Flaky lips? To smooth down tiss
sue, ruffled up by winter, here are
your cues.
Before you put on a red coat to
brighten your lips, smooth on .
colorless antiseptic lipstick or u
weather-defying pomade. At night
before you go TO bed, rub your lips
with castor oil-yes castor oil. Or.
If you're going to wrinkle up your
nose at this, with q rich skin cream
that you use on your face.
II lips tissue still kicks up, have
your family doctor sleuth down
and correct what you can rightly
suspect to be q vitamin deficiency.
1t could be that one OF the protests
your lips are making Is q diet too
low in fats and oils, a deficiency
which you can, Of course, make up
with -rationed fats and other
foods.

the incident and were requested to
provide protection for the Glascock
home.
Since that time Mr.. Glascock had
not gone to his Office, and police
had tapped ali telephone calls to
the Glascock home. Subsequent calls,
however, could not be traced be-
cause they ended too abruptly
Mr.. Glascock said he was playing
with their two children in the back
yard yesterday when a neighbor,
who knew of the threats, warned a
man was entering the house. Mr..
Glascock said he had cautioned his
wife to keep the back door locked
and so had to force his way into
the basement of his house.
Shot Man Twice.
Mr.. Glascock reported he made his
way through basement playroom,
upstairs to the dining room, where
he had left a .22-caliber pistol He
picked up the gun and confronted
the colored man, who had entered
the front door, after knocking, and
stood facing Mrs. Glascock.
According to Mr. Glascock, he shot
the colored man twice when the lat
ter started toward him, a hand in
his pocket. The bullets penetrated
the heart and the colored man cied
instantly.
Mrs. Glascock said she had mixed
cocktails for her husband and ner-
self and they were sitting on a table
when the man entered. Playing for
time, she said that she invited him
to have drink"
Mr. Glascock said neither he nor
his wife had seen the man before.
He said he had no idea why the
man had picked Mrs. Glascock for
his threats.
Mr.. Glascock, 38, has been COM
mercial manager of WRC for the
last three years, and formerly was
affiliated with Washington adver-
tising firm. He and his wife and
children, a boy and a girl, have

Senators Seek Action
To Halt Profiteerinq
On Surplus War Goods
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A ban against secret sales" of
surplus war goods was suggested by
Senators last night as a means of
keeping spectators from making
fancy profits on Army supplies
bought at low prices.
I'm getting tired of seeing specu-
lators sitting around like overstuffed
vultures on rail, ready to pick up
bargains at the taxpayers expense, !"
said Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of
West Virginia.
Echoing this sentiment, Senator
Ferguson, Republican, of Michigan
told reporters that full advance pub
licity on sales will let everybody
in on the inside information that
some Of these SPECTATORS always
seem to have"
They expressed their views fol-

600 dry-cell batteries.
Ernest l.. Olrich, in charge of
surplus property disposal by the
Treasury Procurement Division, told
the Senate War Investigating Com
mittee that the Army requested as
little publicity as possible on the
sale.
The Army feared, Mr.. Olrich ex-
planned, that the public might get
the impression that a temporary
oversupply of small f1ashlight-type
batteries indicated surpluses in
other types.
Accordingly, he said, the Treasury
