By the Associated Press. \ The Senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Col. Stephen O. Fuqua to | be chief of the Infantry, after more | than two hours of discussion. | Col. Fuqua was elevated to his new post over 165 other colonels of higher rating. In its long executive session, however, the Senate deferred action on the nomi- nation of Col. Harry L. Gilchrist to be chief of the chemical warfare service, succeeding Maj. Gen. Amos A. Fries. While no specific objection was voiced | to Col. Gilchrist, further time for con- sideration of his advancement was asked. More than 100 other promotions in the Army were confirmed without oppo- sitdon. The elevation of Col. Fuqua stirred up considerable talk behind the closed COL. STEPHEN 0. FUQUA. favoritism in his selection by Gen. Sum- merall, the chief of staff. Senator Tyson, Democrat, of Tennes- sée, a former Army general, indorsed the record of Col.

Crutchfield of Pittsburgh. He is president of the American Fruit | Growers, an organization which deals in both fruits and vegetables.. “And the percentage was so large as to actually | force some of the potato dealers out of business. I think that women are making a big mistake in cutting out | potatoes entirely. The potato is_one | of our most healthful of foods. I have | the most eminent authority to ba me up on that. It has an alki line reaction in the system and is val uable for the iron it contains and other minerals and_salts their beauty they will not eliminate the | lowly potato entirely from their diet.” | These men hope to appeal to women | through their vanity, when arguments having to do with the deletorious effect | of strenuous dieting on their health fa’i them.
