“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.

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.

NEW WHEAT PROGRAM
Washington— Following is a summary of the new wheat program
to be followed by Secretary Wallace of the department of agriculture
and his aides under the terms of the agricultural relief bill recently
enacted by Congress. 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.
"Thanks, Pal, We Appreciate That!”
You can almost detect a thankful expression on the
faces of these horses as their humane driver calls a
halt to business long enough to douse them with cool
water in a New York street. The record heat wav*
drove thousands to the local beaches and thousand*
more, who couldn’t afford beaches, to the parks.
Hospitals Place to Get
Well, Director Says
Tanawanda, N. 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.
