“Salad First” Is l Now the Vogue Idea Adopted by President’s Daughter Finds Favor. The Uuited States is witnessing an Interesting transition of one of its Important food customs—the serving of salads. Our food customs In the past have most frequently originated In the East and spread westward. In this instance, the custom originat ed on the west coast, in California, and is spreading eastward. For many yeurs the people of California have eaten their salads as an appetizer at the beginning of their meals, while those living In ttoe East have been accustomed to eat their salads with their meat course, or as a special course follow ing the meat. The California custom or serving salads at the beginning of the meal has been spreading rapidly eastward during the past few months and is now becoming the popular mode on the eastern seaboard. The custom first gained great headway In the South, and has recently been spread to all parts of the country largely through hotels and restaurants. The custom of “salads first" be came somewhat of a vogue in the East this summer when It was adopt ed and sponsored by no less a per son than Mrs. Curtis B. Dali, daugh ter of President Roosevelt, who is popularly known ns the “Darling of the White House.” When served at the beginning of the meal, salads are found to be more popular, especially with men and children, who otherwise would seldom eat them, thereby insuring them a balanced meal. The new mode also lends itself to colorful decorative schemes, which always please the hostess.

I .SImui City l*tg, Co., No. 27-33 SOLVES SMILE OF MONA LISA Chicago — (UP ) The secret of Mona Lisa's haunting enig matic smile—a smile that has puz zled art critics for years — has been discovered at last. The i discoverer. Dr. Maurice Goldblatt, art authority, claims that the expression is due to a geometric trick of Leonardo da Vinci, the painter. The Floren tine, famed as a mathematician and an engineer as well as an art ist. tilted the lips of the Mona lisa on the arc of a circle, the ends of which just touch the outer cor ners of the eyes. The arc of an other circle form the outline of the head, and the second circle is exactly twice the diameter of the first. According to Dr. Goldblatt, the circles cause the eyes to focus on the lips and make them one of the outstanding portions of the painting. The geometrical pattern not only is evidence in the Mona Lisa, but in order of Da Vinci’s works, particularly the “Virgin of the Rocks.” where the formation of the face by circles again holds true. i Man Confessed Murder After 33 Years Memphis — (UP) — Thirty-three years Dixie Butler carried with him the secret of an unsolved murder in Sardis, Miss., then he went to police here and revealed it. i Butler, who lived under an as sumed name of Prank Cooley, vol untarily told officers of a crap game in Sardis 33 years ago. But ler was in the game. So was Jim Gillispie, a white man. Something happened, and, ac cording to the Negro, Gilispie grabbed a quarter that belonged to Butler. A gun battle followed and Butler said he killed Gillespie and then fled. The murder never was solved, until the confession of Eutler, now 68 years old. -- ■ .. Mighty Good Reason.

The summary was issued by the department of agriculture. IN GENERAL 1— Contracts to be offered farmers for acreage reduction on 1934 and 1933 wheat crops up to a 20 per cent maximum of their average for the last three years. 2— Co-operation by the agricultural adjustment administration with existing agencies to facilitate export movement of wheat as pro vided by tlie act, within the limits of international agreements. 3— Possible taking out of the market of a portion of the supply of certain types of wheat produced In excess of requirements this year. I PAYMENTS | Compensating payments to be offered farmers in the years 1933, 1934 and 1935. Payments to be contingent on fanners making and fulfilling con tracts to reduce their acreage of wheat in 1934 and 1935, if reduction is required. Payments to he made this year on the domestically consumed portion of the three-year average production of each wheat grower j who signs the acreage reduction contract. Two-thirds of the compensatory payment this year expected to be made about September 15, the rest upon proof of reduction in the next j planting. Total returns to farmers, part from payments in consideration of co-operation and part from price, are designed to secure pre-war parity under the act for that share of the farmer’s crop consumed in this country, and at the same time to provide a financial incentive for wheat acreage reduction when required. PROCESSING TAX The plan to be financed by a processing tax on wheat for domestic consumption. The amount of the tax to be the maximum under the law, and the date to be the beginning of the 1933 marketing year, to be fixed by the secretary. The aggregate amount to be distributed to wheat farmers the first year is tentatively estimated to total approximately $150,000,000. ACREAGE REDUCTION No general curtailment of this year’s wheat crop. Amount of reduction, if any, in succeeding plantings to be con ditional upon outcome of world wheat and economic conferences at London. Acreage reduction which may be required of farmers in no case to exceed 20 per cent. The plan to end with the 1935 crop, or else be followed by a new program if that is required by continued lack of world adjustments. THE PROBLEM OF WHEAT Half of the world’s surplus wheat stocks are in the United States. This country’s carryover is estimated at about 360,000,000 bushels. The four main exporting countries (The United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina) have seen their excess supplies over all domestic and export needs grow from 270,000.000 bushels to 594,000,000 bushels in 10 years. European importing countries, partly to balance debt payments, have done two things through use of tariff and quota systems: (1> Prance, Germany, and Italy have reduced net imports until the total this year will be only about 40,000,000 bushels, and the United King dom is reducing imports and encouraging home production. (2) Im porting Europe has increased its own annual production from 939, 000,000 to 1,251,000,000 bushels in 10 years. The United States has changed from a debtor to a creditor nation, hence losing sales to European customer countries once willing to take wheat in payment on debts. Prices of wheat in the last year have fallen to the lowest levels In history.

Y. — (UP) — Hospitals used to be a place to go to die, but now they are a place to get well, H. T. Brandt, man aging director of a Buffalo hospi tal, said in a recent address here, j In the late ’90s, 40 per cent of ! all patients who entered hospitals ' died, according to Brandt. Now 93 per cent of those who go there ’■ecover. Man’s span of life has increased 1,0 58 years, he said, whereas back > in the dark ages, the average length of life was only 19 pears. This great saving of life, Brandt explained, was due to progress which has been made in medical science in the past three or four decades, I Eventually the average length of life of a human being will be 125 years he predicted. ■ -.. — ♦♦ ■ ■ Almost Forgotten Bequest Came to Light l Shelton, Conn. —(UP)— An al most forgotten bequest, which originally amounted to $20,000, and which now has increased to ( $115,000, has come to light here, with the result that it probably will be used for the assistance of elderly, indigent women. David S. Lane provided the $20,000 in his will when he died in 1898. James T. McKay, acting judge of probate court, came across the old order while check ing through court files. The be quest now provides an income of about $4,000 a year. t Out Our Way By Williams | _ ) NOO 'ffeUV- VsMfcM \ A Gu'lT^ OP l 8ej*-t out ©vao^'M'. ep 1 VvJMtM WE Cost's ©ACK.A«\V F"i»s»OS TA 804S AT HiS K/lACAiKlg. .
