are needed

is expected soon.

National defense needs have speeded the revolution | bread and flour, so that production will start much soar

than was first anticipated.

The bread will be “enriched” by flour which itself has

been enriched with by new milling processes or by adding essential vitamins to purified white flour, with the aim of making Americans more fit and vigorous and better able

to preserve health. This revolution in America’s bread and flour is designed to bolster morale as well as health. The new vitamin “enriched flour” is being put into immediate production—the millers already have been given the “go ahead” signal by the National Research Council Committee on Food and Nutrition.

Term to Be Advertised

In a few weeks the term “enriched flour” will be widely advertised and popularized. Grocers and bakers will “enriched bread.” We shall all be eating it. 3 At the christening party recently, attended by national nutrition authorities, representatives of the American ‘Medical Association, the milling industry, the bakers, and Federal Government authorities, it was decided to call the new flour “enriched flour.” Bread made from it will be called “enriched bread.” These titles are only semi-official, but it is believed they will be made official by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, when it announces its decisions as to a title and definition for bread and flour containing extra vitamins and minerals.

Like Grandfather’s Flour

When you eat products made from enriched flour, you will be getting as much of the morale vitamin B-1, or thiamin, as much of the pellagrapreventing nicotinic acid, and as

much blood-building iron as your grandfather got from his stoneground flou:, . These three substances, thiamin, nicotinic acid and iron, in amounts to make the total content that of stone-ground- flour from high vitamin wheat are now known to be so close to the requirements of the new flour definition the Food and Drug Administration is still working on that millers need not hesitate to start immediate production of such a flour. Later, and indeed before very long, another B vitamin, riboflavin, can be added. : This tremendous gain in nourishing qualities will be made without sacrifice of flavor, color, or baking qualities and with scarcely any increase in cost. :

-. Two Ways to Do It

The revolution in flour can be accomplished in one of two ways. The two vitamins and the iron can be

added to ordinary white flour. This willghot make any change in taste

. or color. .

At present it will increase the price of flour by less than 50 cents a barrel, or about three cents for a 12-pound sack. This means an increase of less than two-tenths of a cent in the cost of a pound loaf of bread, which is so little that the retail price of enriched bread may be kept the same as that of ordinary bread.

MYSTIFIED BY CO-ED'S ACTION

Searchers Find N. M. Student Dazed and Bruised In Wilderness.

SILLVER CITY, N. M,, Feb. 14 (U. P.) Either unrequited love or a history examination, or both, were believed today to have sent 18-year-old Lenore Roos, blond co-ed at New Mexico State Teachers College, into the wilderness in search of death. She was found last night “in a

serious but not critical condition,” wondering along a mountain ridge, babbling incoherently and ready to drop from exhaustion. Her blouse, skirt and stockings were in tatters, her| feet cut and bruised. She had slipped from her dormitory before dawn yesterday, leaving a nate wishing her roommate luck in a history examination and saying; “I am not going to pass.” Invading the men’s dormitory, she had pushed another note under the door) of a room, and had dropped a third note through the open window of one of the campus cabins where men with good records are permitted to live. The last two notes were identical. They said Miss Roos was ‘going out to the chloride flats and jump in a mine shaft.” When she was put in an ambularice to be taken to a hospital, Raymond Carlton, 22-year-old, 200pound college fullback, jumped into the ambulance with her. He lives n the men’s dormitory. Carlton said later, he was “bewildered.” He said she had given him no explanation, that they were close friends and had been out. together the night before and had not quarreled.

LAWYERS FIGHT STATE BAR PLAN

Hoosier Association Holds Senate Bill Threat to Liberalism.

A fight against the integrated bar bill, introduced in the Senate two weeks ago, has been started by the Hoosier Bar Association. The measure would create a state bar that would include, by mandatory provisions, every lawyer in Indiana who has been admitted to practice. The bill would give the Indiana Supreme Court control over the bar’s operation. In a resolution adopted yesterday, the Hoosier Bar Association opposed the bill on the ground that it would “regiment the attorneys of Indiana and deprive local judges of their present authority to command proper respect for -their tribunals.” See Peril to Liberalism “This bill makes it mandatory of all lawyers to join and pay dues to the ‘Indiana Bar Association’ and compels attorneys to observe any and all rules that might be made or published by the Supreme Court under pain of disbarment,” the resolution charged. “This bill, if passed, could be used as an instrument to destroy individuality and freedom in the legal profession, and thereby silence the mouths of all liberal and outspoken attorneys and makes the entire profession subject to the whims and caprice of whomsoever might happen to be judges of our Supreme Court. “This bill is indeed the most unAmerican, autocratic and dictatorial measure ever offered to the Legislature. Scored by Benadum “Next to the press, attorneys should be the last to be muzzled or regimented in our country.” Addressing members of the association, Clarence Benadum, of Muncie, said an attempt to pass a similar measure was defeated two years ago. “I said then that this measure smacked of dictatorship and I say it again of the present bill,” he said. “I will oppose any measure whereby we would be reduced to clinging, cowardly minions, subservient to the whim and fancy of a judicial aristocracy.”

5-MAN SUPERVISING COMMISSION URGED

A hill to create a five-man commission to rule on all regulations drawn up by state departments was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Roger Phillips (D. New Albany) and Senator William E. Jenner (R. Shoals). : The commission would be composed of two representatives named by the Speaker of the House; two Senators named by the President of the Senate and one named by the Governor. They would be paid $10 per diem and would meet only twice a year. No regulations drawn up by any department head could go into effect until the commission had approved it. The Senate yesterday killed a bill to place a heavy tax on Bill Boards.

BILL ORDERED

Senate Finance Committee Seeks Methods to Settle Damage Actions.

A state road crew set fire to brush on a roadside near La Porte and carelessly permitted it to spread to an adjoining orchard, destroying

| several hundred apple trees.

An Indiana National Guard offi-

cer forgot to notify Federal officials of the death of a National Guard soldier from pneumonia contracted during Federal service, thus keeping his widowed mother from getting .a much-needed Federal pension. y As a result of these errors, which are only a few of the great number committed yearly by State employees causing damage to Indiana citizens, the Senate Finance committee yesterday instructed one of its members to draw up a bill creating a Court of Claims to take care of such matters.

Strong Support Expected The bill, to be drawn by Senator Lawrence E. Carlson (R. Huntington) is expected to receive strong support in both Houses. As matters stand at present, the only way a person can collect dam-

ages from the State is to have his Senator to introduce a bill appropriating money to compensate him for his loss. And getting such g bill through the Legislature is about as tough as getting permission to buy three pairs of silk stockings in Berlin. . The legislators generally would like to accommodate, but, they reason, if they let the bars down on one case there will be a flood of bills for relief. That was the reasoning of the Senate Finance Committee which after much debate decided to send the bill to appropriate money for the National Guard soldier’s mother out on the Senate floor “without recommendations.” And sure enough they guessed right. The Senate promptly voted against giving the Valparaiso widow the $700 requested.

Provisions are in the bill to handle township government problems that arise out of condemnation of large areas by the Federal Government for national defense activities. These townships whose taxable property is reduced below the minimum by defense activities would be foclishel within a year under the ill. Other townships whose property is reduced below $500,000 through normal causes after passage of the bill would be abolished at the end of 10-year periods.

NEW ENGINEERING COURSES PLANNED

Applications will be taken Monday for a new series of advanced engineering courses to be given here under Government sponsorship by Rose Polytechnic Institute graduates. The classes are more advanced than the vocational courses now being offered by Technical High and trade schools, but will not take the place of regular four-year engineering courses. They are emergency courses designed to train high school graduates or their equivalents in highly specialized engineering work for defense work preparation. The first general applicants’ meeting will be held at 7:30 p. m. Monday- at Technical High School. Instructors, who are now employed at plants in the city, include Bert Pearce and Herbert A. McAninch, Link Belt Co.; Ronald Updike, Quality Tool & Die Corp.; Myron J. Clark, Inland Container Co., and Charles A. Lotze, Bell Telephone

MONROE, Mich, Feb. 14 (U. P.). i

By JOE COLLIER

The life of the average Hoosier fish is now an open book.. This is due to the fact that an Indiana University scientist has set himselt up as biographer and social secretary to the State's fish and is collaborating with the Conservation Department in a little fish Hull House work. : The main idea is to find out what fish are in what lakes, how old they are, how big they are, whether

there’s enough of the right things for them to eat and how do they like the way things are going. To shake down a fish for this personal information is pretty. easy if you have the fish in hand. A scale 1s the frankest thing a fish

Jhas—pluck one and give it to the

right man-——namely, Prof. William Ricker—and he will tell you how old the owner was, or even is, if it still IS. Now then, if Professor Ricker knows the length of the fish when caught, and has a scale, he can not only tell how old the fish was when caught, but also how long it was at any given year in its life. That's important because it has

a direct bearing on how the fish was getting on in its 'formative years. Most bluegills (this study has been particularly of bluegills) grow faster as they get older, It has been found also that fish apparently grow larger and live longer when they are in large lakes than they do when they are in small lakes. No satisfactory explanation for this has yet been found. , The temperature has a great deal to do with it. There is a difference, a marked difference, between fish of southern Indiana and northern Indiana lakes. The season is longer and the surface temperature greater in the south. There is the matter of food, also. Some lakes have such a low supply of food that the fish live and die without ever getting long enough to be legally kept. What food the fish manage to scrape up they use right away just to get along, and none of it is left for growing purposes. On the other hand, if there is too much food, the fish will eat it, all right, but will only grow so fast and nobody can push them ahead. The main idea of the whole survey is to find ways and means of

getting fish lo grow up to and past ; legal size as quickly as possible so that they must play that angling game for keeps, What the professor is doing is applying the science of mathematies to the survey. He is a statistician as well as a zoologist, and he de~ termines the. chances for ‘error in any given way of collecting the sample fish. By correcting the results for the probable error, lie has arrived at what is agreed is a pretty accurate picture of the fish civilization in the various lakes, what is needed and how much of it. yt The survey is to go on and on until fish have been stripped of all their personal secrets, and until the lakes are biologically balanced so that a maximum number of fish have attaimmed better than legal size and therefore have no alibis when - caught. .
