Salads Valued as Food
Ever Since Biblical DAYS

Since Biblical days salads have
been known and valued for their
health-giving qualities. There are
records that show that the Egyp-
tians cultivated such salad foods as
onions and garlic, and the Romans
in ancient times enjoyed lettuce and
chicory.
Today we are urged by food spe-
cialists to eat some fresh, raw vege-
tables and fruits each day, as they
are known to be excellent sources
Of vitamins and minerals. Salads
offer such splendid opportunities for
variety that they might be consid-
cred the most logical place to in
clude the use of both vegetables and
fruits in the daily food require
ments. Salads may take SO many
different forms in a meal that vari
ETY. is no problem; they can be used
as an appetizer, the main dish or
a dessert, or they may accompany
the dinner course.

House Experts Say Gallup
Underestimated Dem Strength

gallp poll sincerely tried 10 use
scientific polling methods in its
1914 election polls, but insisted
better sampling methods are
available"
DR.. George Gallup, in a state
ment replying 10 the panel re-
port, said.
Il am naturally happy that
the committee points out the
sincerity of our effort.
There are professional diff
ferenceS of opinion among ex-
perts over which polling methods
are the best. Our methods have
to stand up against the rigid test
of election forecasting.
Any poll director who would
wilfully alter or distort his own
figures 10 make them less &C
curate ought TO be examined by
lunacy commission and not d
committee of Congress.
The panel said a major criti-
ciSm of poll reports would be
overcome if they contained \
statement TO the. effect that var
ious adjustments were made IN
building up estimates from the
canvass results" DR.. Gallup told
the committee that he deducted
two points from President Roos-
evelt's indicated popular vote
early In the campaign because
he then expected a light vote.
The deduction later was aban-
doned.
The Gallup method, the state
ment continued, frequently in
volved personal judgments" and
declared:
This is a procedure that does
not guarantee impersonal OBJ
jective results and therefore in
vites criticism"
The report said Gallup has
pioneered in the field of sampl-
ing public opinion and has
without question contributed
materially TO the development
and acceptance of sampling
methods.
Modern scientific sampling
technique can predict with
striking accuracy the results
which would be obtained if a
complete canvass were made OF
the entire population"

WASHINGTON. Jan. IL -
(R - House-employed experts
said today the gallup poll under
estimated the Democratic vote
in almost two thirds of the states
and concluded il used "inade-
quate methods of sampling" the
1874 election.
"Understatement of the DEM
ocratic vote in as many states
as this cannot reasonably be at
tributed to chance alone" said a
report by the poll experts who
were employed by the House
Committee which investigated
campaign expenditures.
1T seems more reasonable to
conclude that the major part of
the difficulty arises from the
fact that principal dependence
was placed on inadequate meth

G. l. Joe ISM
Too Sure He
Likes Term

NEW YORK, Jan. IL RD -
After the American soldier has
settled accounts with the bug
Ter, and the guy who wakes the
bugler up, he may want revenge
on whoever coined the term,
"CI joe"
William Smith White, AP war
correspondent recently returned
from assignment with the First
Army, says:
II don't think it is very good
idea for civilians TO refer to a
soldier as 'GI joe They use it
among themselves, as the slang
of the trade, but don't like It
applied to them by civilians. It
has slight patronizing tone
coming from an outsider. The
way to refer to a soldier is to
call him a soldier"
Harry Harris. an APP war pho
tographer until recently attach
ed to the First Army COM
ments:
ITO the soldiers a CT Joe is
the lowest form OF human. It's
the same as calling him a jerk
They refer to themselves jok-
ingly as els and sometimes as
'Joes' but not as 'GI Joes. We
have the greatest Army in the
world because they are civil
ians. And as civilians they dom t
like to have a label like that
hung on them"
Another concurring APP COR
respondent is Paul Kern Lee,
who covered campaigns in
North Africa, Sicily and Italy.
He says:
"'GI joe is used to denote =
soldier who followed the rule
book right out the window. He
is little CT Joseph who did ev-
erything he was supposed to do,
who had too much spit and pol
ish. 1t was definitely a term of
opprobrium."
A spokesman for Yank. the
Army weekly, had this COM
ment:
The term or is very differ
ent from 'GI Joe "GI Joe is
strictly a civilian term used by
civilian newspapers instead Of
by soldiers. You might call
soldier a CT but you shouldn
call him a .GI Joe We are in
large part responsible for the
use OF GIL We use it to apply to
any soldier"
