Something New in Cream

The other day a fellow in Miami wrote me a letfer and it sounded interesting, so I went around to

see “him. The letter was about—of all thing

canned cream. The man’s name is W. P. Ferris, and he came from Wisconsin last January to settle permanently in Miami. He came down here to sell his canned -cream. ' 3 . The stuff is real cream. The first time in all history, Mr. Perris says, that real fresh cream has ever been put in cans and sold like condensed milk. They make it by shooting steam through the cream, That kills the germs. Then they drop the temperature on it fast, slam it into a can, and seal the lid. Now they insert a sort of hypodermic needle

[Italy Next?

WASHINGTON. April 16.—Well-posted diplomats here are increasingly convinced that the action in Norway may be a feint to cover Italy’s entry into

_ the war, her intervention being timed to coincide with i other major moves in the west, the Balkans, the

Mediterranean, the Near East and Africa. This would mean an all-out war “involving practically every nation in Europe, the French, British and Italian colonies, Egypt, Turkey and perhaps certain areas of the Far East. For according to reports, Japan seems to be contemplating plac- _ ing the Dutch East Indies under * “protective occupation” the way Germany did Denmark. The way is already being paved by Japanese propaganda. hints that Britain or the United

its protection. This, it is said, would accord America “a most important position in naval strategy against Japan.” - ; Nazi-Rumanian relations have again become critical over. partial trade embargoes. And once more Russia is reported to be concentrating large numbers of seasoned troops in the region of Odessa, near Bessarabia, Rumania’s easternmost area long claimed by the Soviet. : ‘ . Britain and France have guaranteed Rumania against aggression, and Turkey is their ally. ” ” ~

Spain Unknown Factor

Were Italy to intervene on the side of Germany, it would force France to divide her military forces into several parts. She would have to face the Italians in the south as well as the Nazis in the north. She would also have to wage a colonial war in Africa, defending Tunisia against Italian Libya,

- and French Somaliland against the Italians in Ethi-

opia. Italy, however, would probably be bottled up in ‘the Mediterranean, hence cut off from Ethiopia, which might then be taken by the Allies.

condensation of this steam creates a vacuum in what

~The can looks very much like a beer can, the kind you open with a regular. bottle opener, cream will keep indefinitely if you keep it cool. If you don’t keep it cool, it will hold its fresh taste for two or three months. It won't curdle or turn to butter.: Even after you uncap it and break the vacuum, it’ll keep -a-week in the refrigerator. ; : This thing was worked out by Dr. George Grindrod of Waukesha, Wis., arid that’s where the cream is canned. They're just getting started with the marketing of it. i

It. isn’t for sale anywhere except in Miami." Mr. Ferris came to. Miami with it because cream is-high down here, and there's no use trying to sell canned

cream up. around Wisconsin where everybody is in|

fresh cream up to his ears anyway. ° ; Mr. Ferris has it in 151 grocery stores around Miami, but the sledding is kind of tough. Seems the regular milk drivers push his stuff back where the customers can’t see it. His big idea is to work up an export business to the Latin countries. He's going to take a couple of airplane trips through Central America this summer to see how the land lies. It seems to me Alaska is the best place for it. They've been drinking canned milk up there so long it’s considered effeminate to drink fresh milk. _ They aren’t making very much of this new cream so far. They ship one truckload a week down here from Wisconsin. It comes in two types. One is regu-lar-strength cream, and the other is very thick, for whipping. The regular sells for 37 cents a pint. Ordinary fresh cream is 40 cents in Miami. The whipping cream brings 55 cents a pint, against 60 cents here for regular whipping cream. ’ Mr. Ferris gave me a can of each of the light and whipping: cream. 1 brought them up to Lake Worth, and we had the light cream on fresh strawberries. You couldn’t tell but what it had been manufactured by a contented lowing kine that very day. Mr, Ferris said the can was a month old when he gave it to me. We couldn’t think of anything to put whipping cream on, so that can is still in the refrigerator, and probably always will be. I haven't the strength to whip cream anyway. :

There is considerable speculation over the attitude of Spain should the conflagration spread. Gen. Franco, the Spanish dictator, is under heavy obligation to Mussolini for the aid given during the civil war. Should he repay the debt by fighting alongside the Duce against France and Great Britain, Franco would have still another front to cover—that along the Pyrenees. And Britain’s Gibraltar might find itself menaced from the rear. Opinion here, however, is that Spain is too exhausted to fight another war now. ; The diplomats mentioned above see in the Italian attitude many things to remind them of the way Italy entered the World War. In some respects history seems to be repeating.

Will History Repeat?

The World War began in August, 1914, but Italy— then, as now, an ally of Germany and also of AustriaHungary—decided to remain “neutral.” Whereupon both sides began to dicker for her support. The Allies signed with her the secret treaty of London whereby she was %o receive compensation in the Balkans, the Near East and in Africa if she would help Britain, France and Russia defeat the Central Powers. On May 4, Italy denounced her alliance with Austria-Hungary, and on May 18 the dual monarchy desperately attempted to raise the Allied bid. AustriaHungary offered her part of the Tyrol, territory west of Isonzo, the City of Gradisca, sovereignty over Velona, a free hand in Albania and much besides. Nevertheless, when the showdown came on May 23, the Allies won. On that date Italy declared war against her ally. ‘Public opinion, in part, had decided the issue. The Italian people hated the Germans—including the Austrians—and besides the Allies appeared to be winning the war. Today the Italians still hate the Germans and they hate: the Communists with whom the Germans are tied up. But—and this is regarded as extremely significant—the controlled press of Italy now seems to be working day and might to change this hate, if not to love at least to tolerance and respect. Daily the press is blasting away at the Allies. Daily their war efforts are being ridiculed. and the prowess of the Nazis played up.

Washington

WASHINGTON, April 16.—It is easy to regard the renomination of President Roosevelt as inevitable, until you hegin to think what would, follow after the nominating ‘convention. : "Up to that point, the argument in favor of renomination - has the edge. Mr. Roosevelt's popularity at the polls continues. New Dealers and political bosses like Mayor Kelly of Chicago and Frank Hague of New Jersey are united behind Mr. Roosevelt. The convention will be strongly proRoosevelt and packed with politicians who have indorsed his renomination. Galleries at the Chicago convention will be packed with Chicago city machine workers all under orders to : yell for Mr. Roosevelt at every opportunity. Undoubtedly the war situation will continue to provide another handle for the third-term argument. The Republican convention will have passed into history and it is a fair bet that the Democrats will take one look at the result and insist that Mr. Roosevelt must save the White House from the Republicans.

2 ” 8 » The Dictator Cry : But after the convention, what? Republitans would be shouting that Mr. Roosevelt was trying to inflict himself upon the country indefinitely as a dictator. They would charge that as soon as the election was over he would take us into the war as Wilson did, They would predict four years more of economic stalemate, of heavy unemployment: and agricultural difficulties, in short a continuation of what has occurred in the recent Roosevelt years. All of his past moves would be reviewed and pictured as part of his plot to fix himself upon the country. It would be

My Day

- “CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. Monday—In Ft. Smith, Ark., we had the kind of parade:which I connect entirely with visits paid by the President. I only hope that seeing the apple blossom queens was satisfaction

enough’ for the people who stood so long in the cold. Bade Tn The queens were young and very tg 8 : charming and made me feel very grandmotherly when we were photographed together in one of the rooms at the hotel. The Democratic ladies had decorated our rooms with the most bueatiful flowers, which we enjoyed for all brief a - time. After fhe lecture and an informal reception, which I left reluctantly before I had the opportunity of shaking hands with all the people who were still thronging the hotel, we returned to thé train and were on our way back to Kansas City. We made a hurried transfer in the morning from the station to the airport and reached Chicago a little after 11.’ : *" At the hotel we occupied a penthouse apartment, where I was shown a framed letter from the President who had stopped there when he was Governor.

shown how he had mowed down, or undermined, all potential rivals. You can use your imagination and picture for yourself the most bitter and violent campaign within memory, with part of the population lashed into a state of hysteria. And if Mr. Roosevelt were re-elected the same thing would go on, with a more heavily Republican Congress ‘to oppose him. : ese imaginings are not fantastic. They are in keeping with what has happened in the last seven years.” That internal strife probably would be repeated in sharper divisions. Mr. Roosevelt's best friends should not want to inflict that kind of punishment upon him. » » ®

Underrating "Mr. Hull

Pressure from politicians upon Mr. Roosevelt arises not from any real interest ‘in his policies but from their belief that he would ‘be the strongest candidate. They know their business, still it is possible that they $re overrating Mr. Roosevelt and underrating Mr. ull. : If it is argued that the war makes it necessary for Mr. Roosevelt to run again, that is also an argument in favor of Secretary Hull. If Mr. Roosevelt's handling of the war situation commends him so strongly to the public as to warrant ignoring the third-term tradition. Secretary Hull's handling of the war situation surely would give him tremendous strength with the country. If Secretary Hull would be weak in some mountain states because of the reciprocal trade policy, that must hurt Mr. Roosevelt, too. . It is said any candidate from the South would lose the Negro vote which is so important in several key Northern states. In Hull's Tennessee Negroes vote freely. Boss Crump even votes them in the Democratic primary, at Memphis. : As‘for Secretary Hull's age, it happens that Chief Justice Charles E. Hughes had a birthday a few days ago. He was 78. ‘Secretary Hull is 10 years younger.

After I gave a brief speech at their meeting, I was able to hear. the closing summary of the work of their convention, given by the president, Mr. Mervyn Rathborn, who is an able and wise leader. : = Back at the hotel with a very few minutes to spare before the committee from the advisory council of the Chicago Youth Congress called to take me to the dinner given by them. The Chicago Youth Congress is fortunate in having such a wide and sympathetic group of older men and women interested in their work. From the. dinner we went to the meeting in Orchestra Hall. I was interested in both the entertainment features and the speeches of the various young leaders and only hope that I contributed some food for thought before I left them and returned to the hotel to stop in for a brief moment at the Amer= ican Legion Ball. ; ? Then to the train again for Battle Creek, Mich. Here we stayed at the sanitarium, which is a most interesting place. I spoke in the afternoon and we journeyed ‘back to Chicago. Miss Thompson left for Washington at 10 '‘p. m. and this morning I flew to Chattanooga, Tenn., for the Southern Human Welfare Conference. ;

MORGAN ORDERS

Laxity of Regulations in Small Restaurants to : Be Probed.

Dr. Herman G. Morgan, City Health officer, today ordered a City-wide check of small restaurants, particularly hamburger stands, following a series of complaints of food poisoning’ received at the Health Department. Five special inspectors and all district sanitary officers were ordered

to bring suspected foodstuffs to the City chemical laboratories for analysis. Dr. Morgan said that in view of the number of complaints received, it appeared to him that some restaurateurs were ‘growing lax.” : - The Health Department yesterday received complaints from five persons. who said they became ill after eating tainted meat in a West Side sandwich car. In the past three weeks, the Department has received four similar complaints on other eating places. “There ought to be a law compelling every restaurant owner to grind his meat fresh when serving -hamburgers,” Dr. Morgan said. “That's the best guarantee of avoiding inferior ground meat.” . Dr. Morgan warned citizens to beThe blood-red coloring usually indicates the addition of sulfites, an artificial preservative which makes deteriorated meat look . fresh, he said. In most cases, improper refrigeration systems are responsible - for tainted meat, he said. Conditions under which meat is prepared and kept for serving are to be scrutinized by the inspectors, the Health Officer said.

2 YOUNG CYCLISTS UNHURT IN MISHAPS

Two youthful cyclists escaped injury when they were struck by automobiles yesterday. i Police said Homer Dalby, 13, of 2120 Park Ave., a pupil at School 45, was riding his bicycle on the wrong side of Central Ave. and ran headon into a machine making a right turn onto Central Ave. from 17th St. The auto was operated by Charles Malee, 1638.
