(Official City, State and Coun’y Newspaper) FARM RELIEF PLANS CRYSTALLIZE Farm relief belongs in the category of legislative pro- posals so controversial that they are killed or get through by the process of compromise. Heretofore, remedies | projected for this relief have been killed by presidential veto, as the old McNary-Haugen equalization fee bill, which was declared unconstitutional by former Presi- dent Coolidge. Now another effort is being mobilized to get some measure through the congress at the coming * special session. It would seem that the time has come for discovery of a panacea heretofore not dreamed of or for a compromise enactment. But it begins to look as though group organization, a farm board and a re- et volving fund will be the solution proposed. 14 Gradually the impression has gone out that President Hoover knows what he wants as a relief measure and that he will present a plan to the congress. There has been talk of the revamped McNary-Haugen bill which died in the concluding session of the last congress, but isi now the word is that agricultural relicf is to be attempted on a more comprehensive scale. The McNary-Haugen bill is not considered sufficient, or even strong enough, to express the president's views of what should be done § toward putting agriculture on its feet. i ‘The president is said to favor organizing the farming industry just as industrial enterprise is organized. He is represented as favoring the combination of the farmers of the nation into formidable groups for cooperation, by which they can control their marketing machinery and Tegulate their production with relation to surpluses. Then the government is to be placed behind this Organized marketing machinery, according to Senator Arthur Capper, who had an interview with the presi- dent and knows something of what is on his mind. The senator said he expects the moral support of the gov- _ ernment will be given cooperative organizations dealing f in grain, cotton and livestock. An important feature of the proposed plans of the administration which Washington correspondents say has been made known from authoritative sources is that @ federal farm board is to be created under the Hoover demonstration of the disciplinary theory. though of an ardent and rollicking nature, he was denied the associations of other children, was surrounded by solemn tutors and from the outset disciplined like a religious novitiate. And what was the result of this con- spiracy to make the prince and future king of England @ serious-minded and melancholy man? It only served to make him at maturity desire more intensely and in- temperately those very things which had been deprived him in his youth. Since no educational dogma or theory has been evolved that is equally applicable to all children irrespective of temperament, it ts a wise parent who stecrs a middle course. m LAGGING IN SHIPBUILDING In spite of all the efforts made by the government to foster an adequate American merchant marine, construc- tion of merchant vessels in the United States shows a serious decline, compared with healthy gains by com- petitor nations. Shipbuilding here fell off from 179,218 tons in 1928 to 91,357 gross tons last year. The world gain was 400,090 gross tons in vessels of 100 tons or more. The United States dropped from third to seventh place among the shipbuilding nations, and now England, Ger- many, Holland, Denmark, Sweden and Japan build more merchant ships than the United States. The seriousness of the situation becomes immediately apparent when it is realized that American foreign trade is rapidly developing and must keep on developing if the prosperity of the nation 1s to continue. One of the nation’s most urgent economic needs is a greater mer- chant flect. To use foreign vessels is to play into the hands cf competitors. And it is not advisable to depend upon tramp ships, such as carried 70 per cent of our shipping before the war. When the public makes up its mind that an adequate merchant marine is indispensable it may have to recon- cile itself to a ship subsidy. It has been repeatedly demonstrated that private shipbuilders here are unable to compete with those of other lends. Existing law is paving the way to increased shipbuilding, but the gov- ernment may have to do still more if the desired results are to be obtained in time. A FAMILIAR CRITICISM Most of the motion pictures shown in South America are made in Hollywood, And it is the judgment of some South Americans that most of these pictures are injuring the good name and interests of the United States. Glimpses of night clubs, gunmen, racketcers, hold-ups, divorce courts and the gilded sins of society are not doing Uncle Sam any good down under the Southern Cross, if these critics of the American films are to be believed. It is argued that American movies are giving the Latin American masses a totally distorted and entirely unfair impression of the North Americans and block the way to real understanding. These criticisms and arguments are more unfair to South Americans than to made-in-Hollywood products, They are based upon the foolish idea that the movie public believes everything it sees on the screen. Even a moron would be insulted by such an insinuation. Cer- tainly it requires no great amount of imagination and Perspicacity to distinguish between romance and realism, even on the screen. There seems to be a conspiracy between the: nations of the world to reform the American film. If the Ameri- can people were not its severest critic, one might dismiss the foreign criticism as so much propaganda. No doubt much of it is inspired by “business reasons,” for the American film has found no strong competitor in any solution as part of the Department of Agriculture. Ee ‘Under the McNary-Haugen bill twice vetoed by Coolidge F and in that offered last December and sponsored by + Secretary Jardine, of the Agriculture department, this board was proposed as a separate agency. It is possible that this plan will be accompanied by a proposal for @ revolving fund of $300,000,000 to $500,000,000 to provide ample fund for financing commodity stabilization cor- Porations. ‘The board, it is indicated, will occupy a place in the department similar to that of the Federal Farm Loan board in the Treasury department. Instead of being designated a member of the board as was the case in the McNary-Haugen and McNary bills, the secretary of agriculture probably will be made chairman ex-officio, While there perhaps would be six members of the board, either farmers or men who understand the mar- keting and production problems of agriculture, one of the six would be made the directing head and placed fn active charge of the management of its operations. ‘Thomas D.

The click of the shutter cuts privacy to the quick. For the cinema it spreads out and spoils. Relentless reels display each gesture, make permanent record of the most transient flicker. So that little imagination is needed to know the ordeal which New England's Charles Francis Adams faced yesterday after he had become the nation’s secretary of the navy. “The shooting,” says an excellent account in the Globe, “went on for almost a half hour. The picture men asked him to sit at his desk. They snapped him standing, sitting down, leaning over, writing, talking, rearranging papers, sitting closer and sideways.” Here was a painful commencement indeed for a man of distinguished and reticent taste, accustomed to feel confident, at past commencements, that every camera had been denied entrance, under rigid police orders, within the high walls of Harvard Yard. A true Bostonian now faced head on, the forces of ballyhoo. He met them, and dealt with them in the line of duty. Aware that behind the shutters, behind all the clap-trap, there were, after all, the sober eyes of the American people, he endured what a public officer must endure. And then, asked by another photographer to “please be writing something on a sheet of paper, Mr. Secretary,” he wrote on the sheet, “This is hell—C. F. Adams.” Thus seeking to express his displeasure with ballyheo, he made himself, all unconsciously, more prominent in the news from Washington than any other member of the cabinet. He wrote an exceptional headline. If he goes on with this he will capture the interest of the whole nation. A real personality is still mightier even than the camera. SOCKO AND WHAMO (New York World) The boy is tied to one of the posts holding up the hut. He hears the girl yelling and pulls the post out by the roots, nearly tearing down the works. Up- stairs the heavy has the girl by the neck. The boy's busted loose and starts up another post. He reaches the window, his foot slips. Klunk! We double a stunt man for the fall. Again the boy starts up. This time he makes it. He's inside the room. Socko! The heavy goes into the gauze and we've saved the girl's honor. With the underpinning loose and the three of them up there the hut's weaving. “Darling!” and they go into a clinch. But the heavy comes to, and Whamo! The boy goes down bam. And Sonk! Thus the special language of the movies as described by Wells Root, writing in the Bookman. And for our part, we find it agreeably pungent. convey meanings much more vividly than orthodox speech could possibly convey them. In this respect, of course,’ it differs from crook language. People often wonder why the vocabulary of the underworld, which is queer enough in all truth, does not find its way into everyday speech. And the reason is that it is furtive: it is really a secret code, and its object is te conceal meanings, not to convey them. Hence the average man pies ete use; at not afford him that jous o spirit it experiences in ysi new slang that he really iikes. ia cis In the case of movie talk. much of it obviously has everyday speech already. “Close-up” and “fade- ze i i Lie A h z i This means come, 3 E} id gE e ALLENE SUMNER, Ladies seem to have been a prob- Jem back in 1393 as well as in 1929, It was in the former year that “The Goodman of Paris” wrote his “Treat- ise on Moral and Domestic Economy,” which has just been translated by Eileen Power. ‘There no need for him to dis- cuss this “home and career” business, for a wife had but one course in those days—to stay home and make the best of it. The 60-year-old “Goodman” wrote the book for his 15-year-old wife. He admonishes her to “be suitably clad”; “to be loving, humble and obedient to her husband”; “to be careful and thoughtful for her husband’s person”; “to restrain her husband gently from his errors” (imagine admitting that he might have any!) ‘Then followed a treatise on “how to care for your household with dili- gence and perseverence”; how to “hire varlets and set them to work”; how “to order, devise, and cause to be: made all manner of pottages, civeys, sauces, and all other viands.” bill which disappeared so mysterious- ly during the last days of the session.

The size of this edible bud varies from two or three inches in diameter in ordinary market forms to two or three feet in diameter in some special varieties. The edible part of this vegetable consists of the flesh portion at the base of the bud scales and the blos- som base. The green scales of the bud are sometimes tinged with blue, violet or brown. In some species of the French artichoke the young stalks are also eaten after being blanched. In Europe these are termed “chard”, a vegetable similar to the French “cardoon,” but entirely dissimilar from the “Swiss chard.” In North Amerita the artichoke is generally prepared by steaming or boiling, but in some parts of Europe the artichoke is considered appetiz- ie oped eaten after being dipped in salt. Even though it is impossible to ob- tain the fresh artichoke in some of the colder climates, canned artichokes may bé obtained the year round in all well stocked grocery stores. Canned artichokes are quite wholesome. The smaller artichokes are selected for canning after all of their inedible parts have been discarded. Ttaly has created quite a large. industry for canning and drying artichokes, Either dried, canned or fresh, this vegetable is quite wholesome. The etiquette of eating the whole artichoke is more confusing to the novice even than eating corn on the cob or asparagus. The proper method is to hold the upper portion of the artichoke with a gentle pressure of the left hand and with the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand Pluck off the outer leaf with a deft twist of the wrist. The thick part of the leaf may then be dipped in butter and slowly drawn between the teeth, The remaining hard part of the le: scale may then be placed on the side of the dish. After the outer leaves have been removed, the meaty side of the bud may be broken and eaten with a fork, ‘The edible portion of this vegetable contains a small amount of starch but not enough to definitely put it into the class of starchy vegetable: Mayonnaise and salad dressings con- taining acid should not be served with artichokes. The French artichoke, which ‘is alkaline forming, small amounts of all mineral elements, and especially of iron and silicon. Fol- lowing are some methods of prepar- ing this succulent vegetable: Steamed Artichoke In a cooking vessel with a close fitting cover, place the artichoke stem. down in about two inches of water.

W. writes: “Last winter I froze my feet and since have been suffering agony with the burn- ing, itching and pain, especially if my feet become a little too warm. Will you please suggest a remedy? What doctors have so far given me has been of no benefit.” Answer: The remedy I would ad- vise for chilblains is to treat your feet each day by immersing them in hot and cold water alternately. Use water as hot as can be borne, keep- ing the feet in it only a minute, then change suddenly to ice water for only a minute. After a few minutes of this treatment give your feet a good mas- sage, using some kind of oil, and rub- bing upward toward the knee so as to improve the circulation. Every time you put on your shoes, powder your feet with boric acid powder or talcum. “ . Grind Food if Necessary Question: Mrs. H. C. writ “Mr. B. has received your instru tions, and began at once on the orange juice. However, he has re- cently had his teeth extracted, and I'm afraid he will have trouble eat- ing some of the things in the diet, especially the raw salad vegetables. Also, should he continue with the daily enema?” Answer: If Mr. B. has had all of his teeth pulled it will perhaps be best for him to grind his food, and the Melba, toast may be softened with a little warm water. He should adhere strictly to the diet as outlined for some time, and also take the enemas until he is sure that his bowels will move normally. Therapeutic Lamps Question: Mrs. O. L. writes: “I would like to know if you could give me by name a high-candle-power therapeutic light. There are so many I do not know whether I would be getting the proper kind. Please name One I could use, myself, at once.” Any of the deep therapy lamps may be used and I would advise you to consult a surgical supply company as to your specific requirements, open to them, and when they. were freed of making baffling and contra- dictory chances, were not, perhaps, as happy as modern women for whom “Goodmen” do not write handbooks of deportment. Daily Lenten Thought > By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. (Editor of The Congregationalist) We forget sometimes, that the science of right living must begin with restoration. This is the signif- icance of Christianity as a religion with a gospel of redemption. It seeks and saves the lost and restores them to the right way. Its gospel is a gos- Pel of repentance, of turning from wrong directions and getting the Proper bearings toward the true goal. The other day I was speaking with & man who not long ago came through a serious illness. ‘The illness. was due to some internal disorder, and my friend consulted an eminent doctor. He began by putting my friend upon a two weeks’ fast, and then established a careful and well chosen diet, the ultimate effect of the treatment being to bring my friend from a serious condition of illness, back to normal health. Just how effective fasting and diet might prove in every such case one need not say. But assuming the value of this method in certain cases, one may stress the importance that this doctor laid upon a right . beginning. The first thing was to restore the system from the effects of wrong diet and wrong habits. The two weeks’ fast cares > Senne : gateway to constructive ment. up natural So with the life of the soul.
