PROTEIN FOODS

Protein foods are the most expen-
sive foods today. Most of us prefer
animal protein and it Is far more
expensive than that of grains and
legumes.
Animal proteins are somewhat
superior 10 grain and vegetables as
body builders and regulators when
each Is fed separately but combi-
nation of animal and vegetable is
just as good as animal alone. Bo-
dies are like houses; some first
class wood like walnut, mahogany
or oak is essential for finishing, but
pine and hemlock are just as good
for rough timbers and underpin-
nings.
While the cost of most animal
proteins vary from 8 to rs cents for
one-fourth of the days requirement,
that from wheat. beans. peas or pea
nut butter can be bought for to
cents. Following are some sugges-
tions for economy:

and less expensive fish are availa-
BILE and good. Salmon or halibut
heads and tails can often be pur-
chased cheap. If these are boiled.
the flesh comes off easily and can
be used for salads and the liquids
for chowders.
Cottage cheese deserves wider
use in desserts, scrambled eggs as
well as in salads.

Spring Storts
E.orly Season
AT Nogs Head

Z MACS HEAD, N. C.-The great

ever known in Dare County waters
has resulted in record catches at

vacation facilities has come wide,

places to stay, whether overnight
or for the summer. No noticeable
increase in rates is anticipated.
The Nags Head area facilities are
priced from $L50 to 50 per

because the spiders can always make
more.
Much silk, but of another character,
is used in making the egg cocoons.
Spider mating is odd. The average
male spider has never seen female
before, and no female has ever seen a
male spider until one climbs into her
web. The pull he makes on her guide
line, to which she clings to get the an
nouncement of the first intrusion of an
insect, puts her on guard, but she does
not seize him as she would some insect.
Instead, nature prompts her to be coy,
something Of a universal characteristic
of all life, evidently. After the mating
the male spider escapes as quickly as he
can. The fact that sometimes he gets
caught in the web, and cannot get loose,
accounts for the fact that the female
eats him for her breakfast. The story
that the female spider invariably eats
her mate is thus regarded as false. since
it is only the very clumsy ones that get
fouled up in webbing. But it makes little
difference. since male spiders do not live
very long after mating. The mother
takes care Of the egg cocoon. and
watches over the little spiders that hatch
out. At this time she is veritable fury.
This is particularly strue of the female
black widow, she of the~two-inch legs.

A reader wants to know about spider
webs especially what becomes Of one in
his garden that is built, every day and
is gone every morning.
Spider webs are among the most WON
derful Of all constructions.
They range in pattern from the geo.
metrical web of the orb spiders, to
simple sheets of webbing material spread
over the grass.
The spider thread is finer than any
thread spun by any silkworm.
The silk thread the eye sees is not
really thread, but a cable, formed of
many individual threads.
Such an individual thread is no more
than three ten-thousands of a MILL
meter in diameter!
1t is said that some of the threads
IN the inner lining of a cocoon are no
more than one-tenth of a micromilli-
meter.
These figures are almost astronomical,
and will mean nothing to most of us,
but at least we can get the; idea that
such threads are very, very fine. Truly.
truly fine.
Man uses spider lines mostly for astro-
nomical instruments, but attempts have
been made to use it commercially. All
such attempts have failed because of
the expense involved in caring for the
spiders.
Man-managed spider gardens require
so much labor in the handling that the
cost Is prohibitive. ~

was much interested in your &C
count of the launching Of the, Crusade
for Freedom. The project of freeing
peoples around the world is certainly a
laudable one and any effort that can
be made in that direction should be
made. However, am afraid that we, as
a Nation, are not prepared Sc. to carry
the truth, and words Of encouragement,
to the oppressed people behind the Iron
Curtain. :" e.s 4.2 - -t-
We have here, in America upwards
OF Is million Negroes, who. despitett their
slave labor during the days Of slavery,
their cheap labor now, their devotion
and patriotism to the United States, are
not free and are denied full citizenship
rights and privileges. 1t is a serious
question for us to ponder. in the face
of this fact. as to whether any word
that we may say to the oppressed peo-
plies of the world is not cancelled out
by the denial here of the freedom which

There is no Iron curtain" around
America So whatever is done here is
done in open view before the world.
Consequently, the world knows how GER

the world knows. In the face of this
tyranny and injustice in the land of
the Nation which would free the world,
what word Of truth can she utter and
what encouragement toward freedom
can America urge upon others?
am for the Crusade for Freedom, but
I am for an inclusive crusade which
will free the oppressed of every nation,
and I contend that the nation which
would lead the crusade should first free
its own oppressed. all of them.
Several weeks ago, a group of Ne
