Roosevelt Enthusiastically Uses Historic Recipes of Days of Jackson and Washington Washington Herb-flavored, home- prepared, historic dishes the ones Washington. Jefferson and Jackson ' ate have' been brought back to the!sauce- Bring to a boil and pour it White House table by Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. Their trend to quote the culinary researcher who found the recipes is "away from the food flub-dubs foisted upon us, and back to the daj-s when the onion and the herb w ere as important as the can opener." Mrs. Roosevelt told of having al ready served two soups of proud pedi gree, the gumbo Creole that Andrew Jackson particularly like in New Orleans, and crab meat soup made the way Martha Washington used to make It at Mount Vernon. History Repeats Itself. Laughingly, Mrs. Roosevelt recall ed that Mrs. Washington was once complimented on "her interest' ia leading her country back to simple and ' good foods." And the" present first lady frankly admits that is her present-day aim. To aid those interested in obtain ing the most from their food dollar, she has been serving low cost menus prepared by Cornell university. She believes such menus are an effective weapon in combatting malnutrition among children. To stimulate others to greater in terest In good foods, she also is con centrating on the historic American dishes of Mrs. Sheila Hibbcn. "I think it i3 a time when perhaps we can teach things to a great many people who never knew before how to cook food properly and net ruin their digestions," said Mrs. Roose velt. "I knew one child which was usually fed corned fcsef and cabbage, and it3 mother could never under stand why it was not well. Depression May Help. "Perhaps because of the depres sion, we may be able to teach people how to really feed their children." Tho first lady's recipes are spiced with items of historic interest. When Scott was campaigning for the pres idency, soup was considered such an effeminate dish, and such a stew was stirred up about his using it, as to partly account for his defeat. So interested was Jefferson in household matters, he jotted recipes here and there among his notes on important matters. After traveling; abroad, he introduced to America the waffle iron, vanilla and macaroni. Dolly Madison would even inter rupt conferences of the president and ambassadors to serve thcrn punch and cake, on the theory that the "business turned out better" that way.

D. is Uncovered Paintings of Old Testament Scenes Decorates Ancient Edifice Dis covery Called Sensational New Haven, Conn. Archaelogists digging into ruins of Dura?Europos on the Euphrates have made a dis covery of sensational importance. They have found a Jewish syna gogue built in 244 A. D. and adorn ed with paintings from the Old Testa ment. The pictures show Moses and the Tablets of the Law, Pharach pur suing the Israelites into the Red Sea and other familiar Bible scenes. With the art of the Catacombs, these are the oldest pictures of Old Testa ment scenes ever uncovered. News of the discovery has been received at Yale university from Prof. Clark Hopkins, w ho is directing exca vations at Dura. The site is being excavated jointly by Yale and the French academy. "I think that few excavators in this century have had the honor and privilege of reporting more astound ing and magnificent discoveries than those made this last month at Dura," Professor Hopkins's report says. Describing the excavation of the synagogue, he explains: "We have dared so far to dig only two and a half meters down, but as far as we have dug we have found the walls completely covered with a mosi mag nificent series of frecoes. Eleven scenes are complete, some six others we have in part, without counting the frecoes of the front and side walls." Commenting on the significance of the Bible paintings. Prof. M. I. Ros tovtzec of Yale said the fresroes re veal that Christian art borrowed from Jewish pictorial art in style, composition and subject matter. Few scholars had even suspected that this might be the case. It had been a common belief among some students that Jewish religion forbade decorat ing religious buildings with paint ings, though recent discoveries have undermined this theory. "This sensational discovery at Dura i3 of great importance for the study of the Bible, the history of Judaism in the days following the destruction of the Temple and, first and foremost, for the history of the early development of Christian art,' Professor Rostovtzeff said. The archaeologists at Dura have built a roof over the remains of the synagogue to protect it from sun and rain. Photographs and colored draw ings of the frescoes have been made When all the preliminary work t completed, the murals will be re moved from the walls and transported to a public museum for exhibit.

The hearing adjourned until Thursday in tribute to George W. Morris, former clerk of the district court here, whose funeral was held Wednesday afternoon. PEESHTNG FEELS TMPB0VED Midland, Tex.

Washington, March 30. With vet erans benefits slashed nearly 500 million dollars, the Roosevelt econ omy program today took on the pro portions of nearly a billion dollar cut in the annual cost of the federal gov ernment. Lewis W. Douglas, director of the budget, was nearing completion to night of a series of executive orders eliminating from the pension rolls payments to veterans for non-service connected disabilities and reducing service connected payments. He ex pects to present the orders to Presi dent Roosevelt for signature not later than Saturday. In the hands of the youthful and aggressive budget director the econ omy act has been found susceptible of interpretation authorizing far greater reductions in veterans' bene fits than were envisaged when the legislation was enacted. Not only are payments for dis abilities not incurred in actual mili tary service to be eliminated but pay ments to those whose disabilities were service connected are to be scaled down 15 per cent, the amount by which the pay of government em ployes has been reduced. Restrict Hospitalization. Hospitalization of veterans also is to bo rigidly restricted and great economies in overhead cost of vet erans' administration effected. As the Roosevelt economy program now stands it accomplishes the following annual savings: Veterans benefits and administra tion, 480 million dollars. Reorganization of administrative branch of the government including abolition of functions, 250 million dollars. Reduction of government pay, 125 million dollars. Postal service economies, 75 mil lion dollars. Total 930 million dollars. Mr. Douglas has a conference to day with American Legion leaders with which he disclosed the scope of the savings In veterans benefits em bodied in the executive orders. He took under advisement a number of changes suggested. World-Herald.

Bright spots appeared today in business and financial news from all corners of the nation. An upturn in retail sales and a revival of confidence were reported in various federal reserve districts.

"The expansion of activity In wholesale markets, which made such marked headway last week, has been accelerated further by the strong current buying movement," the re port added. Reduction in Mortality.
