for recent claims of support in this long period Of
any form of "home rule" for the District of Co
lumbia through exercise of the elective franchise
in either local or national elections
1t is true that there have been at times some
general declarations supporting "home rule" and
these particularly applicable to the Territories
and in a few instances the District of Columbia.
When we read these declarations, we learn that
the brand of home rule" had no reference to or
connection with suffrage. It was simply pledge
to restrict Federal appointments to Offices in the
Territories and the District to local people. In
actual practice, such pledges honored more in
the breach than in the observance, whenever
partisan expedency so dictated.

Report to the Housewife

II there is a special diet for any
member Of the family to consider
the cost is very apt to increase
accordingly. In the case of a .e-
ducing diet there is no added cost
but If high protein diet is in
order then the cost can increase
anywhere from 7 to 80 cents day.
The cost is dependent on the type
Of protein used. For example: "a
cup Of nonfat dry milk (32 grams
Iprotein) costs cents, a quart of
whole fluid milk ga grams pro-
tein) 20 cents. " dozen eggs (36
grams protein) "a cents, u pound
meat, poultry, or fish (33 grams
protein) 20 cents.
Facts now indicate that diets of
older people should be high in
protein, calcium and vitamins,
moderate in carbohydrates and
low in fat. For various reasons,
many older people do not eat
adequate diets. When cost must
be considered it is plain to see
from the above figures that nom
fat dry milk is the cheapest way
to increase the protein content.

crop this year is half again as

down. So get out the salad bowl
and pep up your meals with crisp,
healthful salads. Half Of good

Apple stocks are large this
spring, too. Thanks to modern
day storage facilities, apples are
just as firm and juicy in March
as they were in November. Wine,
saps and Pippins, for example, are
better in spring rather than right

Leaders in the fields Of public
health, welfare and education met
for lunch last week to discuss the
health aspects of substandard nu-
triton.
DR.. Daniel Seekinger. Commls-
sioner of Health, District of Co
lumbia. opened the meeting with q
brief summary of the educational
phases of nutrition and the i'm
portance Of informing the public
on proper diets.
Miss Lois M. Burman, nutrition
consultant to the Health Depart
ment, District of Columbia, had
compiled a set of figures on the
price of low cost diet for a fam
lily of four as Of last October
against current prices. According
to her figures, in October Of 1850
it was possible to feed family of
four on $19.50> per week; Chat
price has now increased to $21.1
It takes careful planning, stlrewd
buying, and no waste in prepara-
ton to accomplish this feat.

HERE AND THERE: Enriched
rice was found so effective In re-
ducing deaths from beriberi in an
experiment carried out in Bataan
Province of the Philippine Islands
that it is soon to be made avail
able to nearly two million people
in the Philippines, according to a
news story in Food Field Reporter.
In the experiment enriched rice
was distributed to a selected area.
At the end of the first year there
was 67.3 per cent reduction in
deaths from beriberi, a disease
caused primarily by deficiency of
one of the B yitamins. During the
same period, deaths from beriberi
increased by "a per cent in a con-
troll area where white rice was
used. By the end Of the third
quarter of the second year. deaths
from beriberi had been reduced
to zero in the area receiving the
enriched rice. National emer-
gency may mean that household
rubber will be harder to replace
during the coming year. To pro-
tect rubber gloves. mats, scrapers,
etc. from destructive grease, clean
with baking soda, using 3 table
spoons to quart Of water. Rub
ber, like all other household items,
lasts longer if kept fresh and
clean. When you take freshly
baked bread or rolls from the
oven, take them out Of the pans
at once. This keeps moisture from
condensing and spelling the crisp

in India was discovered growing

Williams Must Stay
In ST. EIizabeths

Daniel j. Williams, jr., 44-year-
old attorney adjudged insane after
he killed two men and wounded
two others in a series of shoctings
in Municipal Court IN 1947, today
lost a District Court move to be
released from st. El:zabeths Hos
pital.
Williams appeared before Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin on a
habeas corpus petition. He was
smartly dressed IN a brown PIN
stripe suit and was sporting a
graying, 3-inch-long spade beard.
He insisted to the court that he
has never been insane, and that
he knew exactly what I was do
ing" at the time of the shootings,
which he blamed on the wrongful
acts" of the men he shot.
Williams further announced he
now stands ready and willing" to
stand trial on the murder charges
against him if, he emphasized, tile
case is transferred away from the
District where II can't get a lair
trial"
DR.. Bernard Cruvant, hospital
psychiatrist, described the petit
toner. however, as having econ
siderable grandiosity," regarding
himself as rather remarkable in
the legal profession" The psy-
chiatrist added that Williams has
become rather seclusive," dis
cussing only religion or law at
the hospital.
Judge Mclaughlin went along
with DR.. Cruvant's appraisal Of
Williams as "still dangerous to
himself and Others"

Board Called Unfit
By q stoff Correspondent Of tn. Star

BY Sfoft correspondent OF The Sfor
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 28.-The
Board of Managers of Chevy
Chase Village, Md, has been ac-
cused of being unfit or unwilling
to enforce the community's regu-
lations.
The charge was made by Will
liam Doherty, East Kirke
street, Chevy Chase, in a letter
made public yesterday by Senate
President George Della.
Mr.. Doherty also expressed
strong opposition to proposed
changes the village government
which would i've it greater home
rule.
Among other things, the pro-
posal Is would allow the Board of
Mana GERS to pass ordinances with
out the present fcrmality of hav-
ing them approved. by the Mont
go-nery Countv Council, and in
crease the tax rate ceiling from
so to 70 cents. The present rate
is 40 cents.
Mr.. Doherty claimed in his
letter that the proposals were
"railroadeo" through a special
meeting Of The board with no
reasonable" opportunity for the
residents to study them.
1.-THE board at present has far
more power than 1t is willing, or
is able, to exercise properly" Mr..
Doherty said.
