Men Eat More Intelligently | Than Women, Tests Reveal By the Associated Press. Although women are the Nation's cooks, they eat less intelligently than men, the Bureau of Home Eccnomics has discovered. Tests were made through observ- ing the meals bought by 785 men students and 880 women students during two 10-day periods at one of the State agricultural colleges. One test was run in warm weather and one in cold. The students were not told, so their choice of food was uninfluenced. Two-thirds of the men bought milk, sometimes for both lunch and dinner. Only one-fifth of the women bought milk, thereby having less milk in the diet than nutritionists consider neces- sary to provide the calcium the body needs. Men ate bread and meat oftener than women. They even ate more vegetables, although “vegetables” for the men usulily meant potatoes. However, the women chose more kinds of vegetables and ate more raw ones than the men, and a good proportion of salads. Women ate more desserts. While more than one-half the men bought thiry three- fourths of the women had them with their meals. Ple was the favorite with the men and ice cream with the women. Considering the meals as a whole, the investigator found them low in energy value. Women ate meals which were 9§ per cent too low in calcium, 15 per cent below in protein, 28 per cent below in phosphorus and 43 per cent below in iron. The men were up to standard in calcium, protein and phosphorus, but they, too, were below in iron, although the deficiency was only 22 per cent.

WORKER ASKS SUITABLE EMPLOYMENT By the Assoclated Press. LOS ANGELES, December 17— James M. Jones is particular about the job he expects from the State Emerg- ency Relief Administration. Jones, a college graduate and for- mer law student, asked Judge Emmet H. Wilson to compel the B, E. R. A. to give him suitable employment. The 8. E. R. A, Jones charged, in- sisted on giving him work to which h- was note adapted, causing him to mentally distressed. Jones in his vcmlon further added that if he doesn’t get the right kind of work “he may, in desperation, commit violent offenses upon the citizens of the community in endeavoring to pro- vide sustenance for his family, al- though this is distasteful and contrary to his nature and normal desires.” A writ of mandate was refused by Judge Wilson, who suggested Jones amend his petition to state additional Illcu which form the basis of his claim.
