HOUSEWIVES OFFERED MENU HINTS USING LITTLE KNOWN VEGETABLES, DIKON, TARO, NAPA AND CALABASI !

Sacramento ‘Cal.—Housewives irked by the monotony of the same vegetables day after day might like a tip from the state department of agriculture so they could try some of the lesser known truck varieties. Here are a few varieties taken at random from the shipment summary of the federal-estate market news service: Dikon—A long Japanese radish, sometimes called Tai Eon. The Chinese variety, lau buck, is sweet. There is also a type which resembles a huge beet. Taro—a tropical root crop from which is prepared a potent Oriental potion. Some folks call it elephant ears. It is a favorite of the Japanese. Anise or Finochio — An annual plant, the bulk of which is relished both for salad use and as a cooked vegetable. The crisp stalks are eaten like celery and have a pronounced licorice flavor. It is also known as Italian fennel. Fava bean — Commonly known as “horse beani” rich and full flavored. To use, shell like peas. Nappa Is Chinese Cabbage Napa—Nothing more than Chinese cabbage. It is not a true cabbage but so-called because its flavor somewhat resembles it being a cross between celery and cabbage. Forms upright heads after the fashion of celery. Does not give the objectionable odor of cabbage while being cooked, and is excellent when used raw iit salads. Calabasi — A inember of the chicory family, highly esteemed by the Italians as a salad green. Said to contain many valuable minerals and vitamins. Endive—Apother branch of the chicory family, relished for its crisp tenderness and for the sharp, slightly bitter flavor which serves to help revive sluggish appetites. Boston Lettuce — Commonly known as “local lettuce.” Popular among the Italians by whom it is considered superior to head type lettuce. It has a tender suculence and delightfully fresh taste. China Peas Are Fried --China Peas—This edible pod pea is of recent popularity but has long been an Oriental favorite^ The fresh, sweet taste is agreeable to the palate. It is prepared in the same manner as string beans, that is, breaking the tips and removing' the strings. May be uoiied as ave beans or fried in oil as the Chinese do. By the latter nn>' ..^i, the raw pods are dropped into a hot skillet with a fairly generous amount of oil and cooked until

crisp.

Cardoon — Thickened ribs of large basal leaves of an artichoke thistle plant, cooked by cutting in pieces and frying. Rapini — Young turnip plants used as a boiled green. Tender and delicious, particularly good when served with any menu in which pork is the chief meat course. Radichetta — Young dandelion plants, popular among Italians as a salad ingredient. Also believed by many to have medicinal value. A favorite way to prepare this plant is to chop fine and mix with local lettuce in a bowl which has been rubbed well with garlic. Olive oil and vinegar dressing is added. Romaine for Variety Romaine — Frequently called celery lettuce because of its erect habit of growth. More delicious than head lettuce, but not widely known except by Latin peoples. Excellent variation from usual lettuce in salad. ' Swiss chard — Member of the beet family, only the tops of which are used. Prepared in same manner as spinach, although chard is free from grit which sometimes accompanies spinach. Kohl Rabi—Member of the cabbage group, similar to a turnip produced on a cabbage root. Flesh of the thickened stem resembles that of a turnip but when well grown is more delicate, both in texture and flavor. In quality it is superior to all other members of the cabbage group except cauliflower. O T — GOLD MINE TRADED FOR ALE

BIG RUSH OF ’39 FOR PHILIPPINE GOLD IS LIKELY

Great Activity Indicates Fear Pay Dirt May Be On Wane

Baguio, p. I.—The Philippines are headed for what gold mining history may record as the rush of

’39.

It will be a rush of mills, ore cars and other heavy machinery instead of gold-share brokers. The ' business has grown up and now is second only to sugar among the archipelago’s industries. The islands that the Chinese traders centuries ago called the “Land of Gold” produced more than $30,500,000 worth of the metal in 1938, more than half the value of the sugar crops and more than the combined value of coconut oil, hemp, tobacco and lumber exports. Cornelio Balmaceda, director of the bureau of commerce, predicted today 1939 gold production wdll total $35,500,000. So long as the U. S. treasury pays $35 an ounce for the metal, gold appears destined to play an increasingly important part in the insular economy. Observers generally foresee a gradual decline for the sugar and coconut oil industries, artificially stimulated under American direction during and after the World war. Pays Highest Wages Gold mining pays the islands’ highest common-labor wages. Fifty thousand miners and 1,600 technicians and officials drew about $10,000,000 in salaries last year. They produced more gold than the combined output of Alaska, Nevada, Montana and New Mexico. Philippines production exceeded that of any other area under the American flag except California. The industry recovered quickly last year from the hangover left by collapse of the “boom” that started when the dollar was devalued. Most of the 500 companies giddily doing business—real, prospective oY imagined—in 1936 have faded away until only about 50 remain. Twenty of these are still in development stage. The others are working 24-hour shifts producing gold, wrapping it up in 50pound bundles and mailing it to the mint in San Francisco. How long it will last no one knows, but the 400 mining engineers from American and European technical schools are keeping production as fast and efficient as they can against the day when “calamity” strikes. Veterans Foresee Slump There is a. good-natured air of pessimism among the men in the mines, the superintendents, engineers, assayers arild overseers. Scores of them are veterans who have seen gold and silver rushes before in Alaska, the Rocky Mountains, Mexico, South America or Africa and they assure an interviewer solemnly that “these things don’t last forever.” o PLANT BOARD PROGRAM INTERESTS HOOSIERS

Sessions of the Central Plant Board, to be held in St. Paul, Minnesota, on March 21 and 22, hold a special interest for Hoosiers engaged in plant shipments and corn and strawberry growing, Virgil M. Simmons, commissidner of the Department of Conservation, said today. Among subjects to be discussed are: New Diseases Affecting Strawberries; Japanese Beetle Control; Nationally Controlled Interstate Shipment of Nursery Stock, and Restrictions on Introduction and Interstate Movement of Insect Pests and Plant Diseases. Frank N. Wallace, state entomologist, will discuss European Corn Borer in Indiana, while P. T. Ulraan, assistant state entomologist, will give his report as secre-tary-treasurer of the board. Indiana’s annual commercial strawberry crop has a value of nearly a million dollars while nursery plant production and shipment is a business that amounts to several million dollars a year in this state. The European Corn Borer is found in a number of Indiana’s agricultural counties while the Japanese Beetle has been located in only a few cities and is believed to be well under control. Control of plant diseases and insect pests affecting trees, shrubs, garden and farm crops and similar vegetation in Indiana, is one of the varied functions of the Department of Conservation carried on through the Division of Entomology. ——o-— NO GAIN IN HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION IN FEB,

Construction work in progress on the state highway system showed a further reduction during February as a result of weather conditions and completion of projects, T. A. Dicus, chairman of the commission, announced. Reports to the State Highway Commission by contractors engaged in construction work on the state system, showed only 22 contracts in operation in February, .a drop of four from the previous month.. There, has also been u drop of 70 in the number of workmen employed by contractors on these projects. A number of construction projects on which contractors have been awarded during the past several months by the commission, are awaiting favorable weather and will result in an increase in employment .

Rubber Cleat For Football Shoes Devised Columbus, O.—Tucker P. Smith, trainer of the Ohio State football team, believes he has solved the problem of dangerous football cleats. After eight months of experimentation, Smith has'developed a selfrlocking cleat of rubber which he thinks will lessen the danger of cPat injuries. Smith’s rubber cleat has a serrated inner surface which fits into a soft rubber washer like a jig-saw puzzle. TJie rubber washer is attached to a metal washer with projections and the metal washer bolted to the shoe. The outside surface of the cleat is smooth. Smith L.-icd the new cleats with freshman, football players last fall and achieved remarkable success. Not one cleat came loose, although subjected to all types of play by boys weighing 140 to 280 pounds. The trainer found the new style sleat reduced the number of foot blisters and was more economical than the conical leather type now in use. He said a football squad of 300 j; varsity and freshmen players at a arge university like Ohio Slsate oses about 1,500 cleats of the pres- • pt type annually at an extra cost hf $75. “Personally, I prefer the square eather cleat,” he said, “but it has seen obsolete for 12 years. The | lew conical shapes tend to result n more ankle and knee injuries. They have no ‘give’ and a player ises only five of the seven cleats m a shoe when he is moving.” Chief defects of the leather and netal cleats now in use is their endency to twist loose and fall off luring action and thereby expose i sharp metal screw which may njure other players. Smith has applied for a patent tn the rubber cleat. o POLITICAL ACTIVITY TABOOED

Indianapolis, March 24.—Administrative and supervisory employes of the WPA, whether relief or non-relief, who engage in political activities made illegal by Congress will face immediate dismissal, John K. Jennings, State WPA Administrator, said. Public Resolution No. 1. 76th Congress, in making an additional appropriation for work relief and relief for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1939, prohibits any funds appropriated under the Act being used to pay the salaries of any administrative or supervisory employees who participate in political activities which in any way involve political management or political campaigns, he said. According to Jennings, Section No. 3 of the Resolution makes it unlawful for any person “directly or indirectly to promise any employment or other benefit to any nerson as consideration or reward for any political activity, or for the support or opposition of a.ny candidate in any election”. It further provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person to deprive or attempt to deprive by any means any person of any employment or other benefit on account of race, creed, color, or any political activity in support or opposition to any candidate in any political party in any election”. Section No. 4 of the Resolution makes it unlawful for any person employed in any administrative or supervisory capacity “to use his official authority or influence for the purpose of interfering with an election or affecting the results

thereof”.

Section No. 5 provides that “it shall be unlawful for any person knowingly to solicit or be in any manner concerned in soliciting any assessment, subscription, or contribution for the campaign expenses for any individual or political party from any person entitled to or receiving compensation or employment provided for by the Emergency Relief Act of 1938 J ’. Mr. Jennings warned that violation of the above sections under the provisions of the Act have been made a felony and that the WPA will take drastic action in cases where WPA employees are

involved.

All cases involving possible felonies will be forwarded to the Washington Office for investigation by the WPA Department of Investigation, Jennings said. These findings will then be available as a basis of prosecution by the Federal Department of Justice. The State WPA Administrator pointed out that a maximum fine of $1,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both, is the penalty for any person who knowingly violates any provision of the Resolution. The State Administrator ordered copies of a General' Letter received from Federal WPA Administrator F. C. Harrington, setting out the policy of the WPA in regard to political activities, posted immediately on projects and in all administrative offices of the WPA in

Indiana.

“In my opinion the policy of the WPA concerning the voting fran; chise by WPA employees is unchanged," Jenn%sgB said. “The law stipulates that administrative or supervisory persons, whether relief or non-relief, drawing money from this appropriation may simply express their private opinions as citizens and cast their ballot as they choose—any other political activity being interpreted illegal under the Act.” ; --t-. Ancient Greek has been claimed by philologists to be the nearest perfect language.

DISEASE EXISTS AS ADDED WOE FOR ’CROPPERS

Federal Agency Explains Basic Cause For The Lack Of Energy Memphis, Tenn.—Dixie’s pover-ty-stricken share-croppers may be idolent because of ill health, according to A. M. Rogers, assistant regional director of the Farm Security Administration. Rogers said that in rehabilitation of 60,000 families in Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisiana, health was the most discouraging factor with which the FSA had had to contend. He pointed out that he did not speak of selected groups but of sharecroppers and tenant families in general. Worst cases, he said, were among children — “the ones we must depend upon for a better future.” Health Gains Made The three greatest menaces to the sharecroppers are pellagra, malaria and dysentery. Gradually the FSA is bringing these diseases and others under contrd. Pellagra, upon which medical work had been centered, has become rare in resettled areas. Many inhabitants of various colonies, long used to suffering from the disease, still cannot believe that pellagra has been wiped out per manently. Pellagra—scourge of the Southland—is a result of improper diets. It is being eliminated through the simple process of providing sharecroppers with proper foods. This, of course, has been made possible by continual emphasis from the start on growing their own food as far as possible and preparing balanced meals. Attention of government physicians now is directed at malaria and dysentery. These sicknesses continue to occur, but their effects have been minimized. “A long time ago,” Rogers said, “FSA workers began to suspect that there might be something more than just laziness behintd the shiftless attitude. One Case History Revealed “In one case, there was a typical, shiftless ’c r o p p e r. Every morning the supervisor literally had to rout him out of bed and get him to work. For a while it appeared that he would have to be dropped from the rolls. “Then it was decided that he should be sent to a doctor, and it was revealed that if he had actually done a day’s work, it would have killed him. He had double hernia, had to have all his teeth taken out. The GSA invested $165 in his health. Now we are watching him to see what difference it makes.” Rogers told of another case— that of a family which lived in the lowlands by the Arkansas river. There were three children in this Arkansas family. “They were a sickly lot,” he said, “and the mother told us that it was only recently that their children had tasted cow’s milk for the first time. “Virtually none of the children in sharecropper families have ever had any dental care,” Rogers continued. “I know of no more inter esting sight than to isee these children shed their pale, sickly look when they are properly fed and given proper medical attention.” o MANY REQUESTS SUBMITTED

Indianapolis, Mar. 24.—Projects totalling nearly three and a quarter million dollars were submitted for approval at state WPA headquarters last week, John K. Jennings, State W.PA Administrator, said. The United States Army requested approval on a $1,655,730 project for rehabilitation of the buildings and grounds at Fort Benjamin Harrison. Second largest among the list of projects was one totalling $1,321,020 submitted by the State Department of Public Welfare. The money will be used for state-wide supervision and coordination of recreational activities. The Governor’s Commission on Unemployment Relief asked approval of a $378,182 fund to be used in the distribution of food, clothing, and other commodities to needy persons throughout the state. Other projects included: Marion, Allen, Cass counties— $10,251 for eradication of Japanese beetles; sponsored by the State Department of Conservation. Steuben county — $143,810 for improvement of county roads'; sponsored by Steuben County. Whitley County — $13,937 for cleaning and renovation of various township schools; sponsored by the County Board of Education. Jay County — $144,950 for improvement of county roads; sponsored by the Jay County Commissioners. DeKalb County (Garrett)—$15,115 for construction of new sidewalks; sponsored by the city of Garrett. La ports County (Michigan. City) -*$196,790 for improvements in Washington Park; sponsored by the Board of Park Trustees. Marshall County (German Township)—$14,706 for improvements on township schoolgrounds; sponsored by German township. Dubois County (Ferdinand) —* $9,533 for sidewalks, curbs ami gutters; sponsored by the Town Board of Ferdinand Vigo County t Riley Townsjup)—

$2,445 for interior painting in the township school; sponsored by Riley township. Elkhart County—$5,951 for repairing and rebinding of books in the township school libraries; sponsored by the County Board of

Education.

Madison County — $807,000 for improvements to county highways; sponsored by the county commissioners. Marion County (Beech Grove) — $4,932 for clerical work in Beech Grove Schools; sponsored by Beech Grove. Steuben County (Orland)—$17,626 for improvements to the Fish Hatchery; sponsored by the Town

of Orland.

o EXPERIENCE TEACHES

There is no great loss wifliout some smaU gain. The last session of the legislature tells the people some of the mistakes they may

avoid in the future.

The first lesson is that no part of government is unemportant and that high in the list are the members of the legislature. Perhaps the people will scrutinize more carefully the caliber of men they nomniate for these offices. The 51 Republican vote^ in the lower house suggests that there is no room for incompetents, or those who obey boss orders. They will prefer those who have records and good records. The people have learned that every vote is important. The change of election results for state representative in one county would have changed the whole course oi history. It would have given the power to the opposite party, a party with which the people as a whole were in sympathy and whose policies they approved. A change of a very few hundred votes in close counties would have barred from that legislature those who opposed and blocked every bit of constructive legislation. The warning to those whose purposes are linked together eco. omically is even plainer. Agriculture will examine and scrutinize carefully. So will labor, which watched close against any backward steps and whose only victory in the last session was that no backward steps were taken and that their victories in the past, were preserved. The session, too, has shown the necessity of watching the votes of every member carefully. The different groups are performing a real public service as they distribute this infor-

mation to the public.

The battle of preserving democratic institutions is ever threatened. Selfishness and greed are ever present to block meritorious measures. The people have been too busy to watch and guard. It will be different in the years to come. The great lesson to be learned is that members of the legis laiure are important people, not to be selected without care. Against stupidity and error, the people have hut one defense. That is to be watchful and wi«e.

WILDLIFE STAMP SALE SETS RECORD IN STATE

Advance reports on the sale of wildlife stamps by conservatior. clubs throughout Indiana during the past week, indicate that a new record will be established thi. year, Virgil M. Simmons, commis sioner of the Department of Con servation, said today. Through the sale of these at tractive, colored stamp pictures oi common American animals, birds waterfowl, fish, trees and wild flowers, the conservation clubs and the National Wildlife Federation will raise .funds for their activities during the year. In 1938 when the first series of wildlife stamps was issued, Indiana conservationists sold more than 350,000 stamps. This year, albums which contain the 1938 series of stamps and have special space for the 1939 series in addition to other information on conservation and wildlife, are available. Sale of the wildlife stamps in Indiana this year is being conducted by the conservation clubs under the direction of the State Conservation Advisory Committee. o HOVEY LAKE WILL BE VALUABLE PROPERTY

Hovey Lake and the four hundred acres of bordering land being acquired by the Department of Conservation will be one of the most valuable public areas administered by the Department, Virgil M. Simmons, commissioner, predicted today. Already widely known among naturalists and botanists, the 900acre tract is rich in unusual plant and bird life with many species here which are not common in Indiana. One of the most unusual trees in the area is the bald cypress. found here in large numbers. This tree is found through the southern- states but the stand at Hovey’s Lake is the largest in Indiana. Pecan trees and mistletoe are also found in the area. Plans for the development of the area include public use of a part of the ground and the lake for fishing; hunting and picnics. The major part of the area will be closed to the public, serving- as a waterfowl and game refuge. — , O . DART GAME AIDS POLICE.

King George Becomes Style Adviser As Queen Selects Travel Wardrobe

London.—Blue, the color which matches her eyes, will predominate in the spring wardrobe which Queen Elizabeth is now collecting for her Canadian and American

tour.

It is King George's favorite solor, and he likes to see the queen wearing it. Mayfair dressmakers and milliners have visited Buckingham Palace with designs and patterns of material. The queen showed all the sketches to the king and made her decisions with his assistance. No matter how fashionable a style, she will not wear it inless the king approves. Helping the queen to collect her outfit is quiet, dark-haired Catharine Maclean, personal maid to the queen since she was a schoolgirl at Glamis Castle. The queen sails here “Catta.” It is 26 years since Catta left aer cottage home in Scotland to anter the service of the queen’s mother. She has been with the queen ever since as dresser and trusted friend. She is practically the same build as her royal mistress and so is able to save the queen mucii-jof. the trouble of fitting by acting as a “stand-in” to try the finished garments. Catta will have to pack more than 60 complete new outfits to take across the Atlantic. There will be gracefully cut dresses of fine wool georgette with long coasts to match, one blue ensemble trimmed with the new grey-blue “smoky” fox fur which Canada has lately produced. Printac} silk and chiffon afternoon gowns for formal receptions will have soft flower designs in pastel shades. Then there will be at least three all-white party ensembles like those which won such admiration when the queen visited Paris. One is of exquisitely fine white Nottingham lace. Veils are highly fashionable this spring, but hardly any of the queen’s new hats will have them. All the court gowns will have simply cut bodices and dignified full skirts, though not crinoline .effects. Some will be distinguished by unusual overdraperies of chiffon and lace. UNMISTAKABLE SYMPTOMS No one can mistake the message that comes from business, and particularly that barometer upon which business (men rely—the stock market. The prices, not the value of stock, are going up. That means that those who have money to invest believe that not only has recovery come back, but that it is here to stay. Those who talked about the size of the national debt are no longer alarmed. For they have discovered that it has brought back huge profits. The national income for the past year was 62 billions, as compared with the' 30 billions of the last year of the Hoover era. This year, so estimates the economists, it will be increased by 8 billions, to a total of 70 billions, just 10 . millions less than the goal of 80 billions set-by the President as his objective. Obviously there is not 30 billions or 70 billions of money. Tlqere is just the same amount of money in existence that there was in 1930 or 1938. What happens is that it circulates more rapidly. It does the work of more business. It passes more quickly from the till of employers, through the hands of workers, into the cash registers of the grocers, the department stores, the vendors of luxuries and necessities of life. The velocity of money determines the prosperity of business and the nation. In Indiana you read of more men and women employed: You hear of activity in factories. That means that more people are receiving I wages and spending them. It) means in the final analysis, that subtle thing which is called success. I Against this ground swell of success, against the removal of fear by social security, against the constant and persistent expansion of public works and public necessities, there is no resistence. The national debt is nothing to worry about as long as the income in one year amounts to more than the entire debt. We have entered a period when all the old theories of economy are being replaced by a newer and sounder philosophy. DEER APPROACH METROPOLIS 1 Cleveland, O. — Thirteen deer i calmly drinking water from a lake less than 30 miles from this city of a million was the sight that greeted Thomas Eville, superintendent of the Holden Arboretum. Two bucks and 11 does ambled into the woods after they had finished drinking.

Stage Actress Ends 5-Year’s Film Holdout New York.—With thousands of persons clamoring to get into the movies, Betty Field proves to be the exception for she kept the movies waiting for five years before she embarked for Hollywood. Even then she went with the specific understanding she would play a -part in the screen version of “What a Life” which she played during the winter on the Broadway stage. Talent scouts spotted Miss Field when she was in her final semester at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts here. She consented to a movie test which Boris Kaplan, chief scout for Paramount, supervised. Simultaneously she let it be known that she intended to take her time about going westward and refused to have railroad tickets pushed into her hand. By the time Betty was graduated, a small part in the show, “Page Miss- Glory-,-” -was availa ble for her. She took it eagerly, although it paid but a fraction of the money she would have received in the movies. During the past four years Miss ■ Field has gone from show to show, each part increasing in importance. She was in a road company of “Boy Meets Girl” when she made her first trip to Los Angeles. While there she visited studios and casually studied the movies and what they had to offer her

career.

Under her contract, Betty says she is to spend six months in Hollywood and the rest of the year on Broadway.
