U. S. ‘Atlantic Patrol"
Those pictures of the V. S. Atlantic patrol have been approved
by the U. S. navy. The Atlantic patrol operates from a secret base
containing a self-contained fleet—from corvettes to battleships. The
base is equipped for the servicing and dispatching of planes and
warships for the purpose of keeping the sea lanes open.

OF
THE
Two Kinds of Horses
By VIC YARDMAN
(Associated Newspapers—WNU Service.)
CKING at her friend, Libby
Miller, sitting on the veranda
of the Lazy Y dude ranch.
Evelyn Billings thought:
“Libby’s hard and callous. She
hasn’t any feelings." She saw Rus
Crandall, the tall, handsome dude
wrangler approaching from the
horse corral leading a mount. Rus’
face was grave and somewhat pa
thetic.
Impulsively Evelyn turned to Lib
by: “Lib, do you realize you’re
breaking that girl's heart, I mean
Hope Palmer, the little western girl
who works at the ranch here. She's
dreadfully in love with Rus. They
were going to be married.’’
Rus Crandall had reached the foot
of the veranda steps and doffed
his hat. He sat there, watching Lib
by, waiting. His attitude was that
of servitude; his smile almost be
seeching,
Libby stood up and smiled down
at her friend. “Darling," she said,
“that little western girl was all that
saved the affair from being horribly
dull.” She smiled again and crossed
j toward the steps. “Hello, Bill Hart.
Planning on going somewhere?”
The extra horse stood quietly and
submissively while Libby vaulted
lightly from the third step into the
saddle. A bewildered expression had
appeared on Rus Crandall's face.
“Why, yes," he said, “I was plan
ning on taking you ridin'. Wasn't it
today you told me we’d go?”
“It was today I told you I’d go.
If you don’t mind I think I’ll ride
alone."
Do you realize you’re breaking
that girl’s heart? She's dreadfully
in love with Kus.
‘‘Oh, 1 see,” Rus, seeming a little
chagrined, turned his horse away,
but hesitated as Libby called to him.
“Wait a minute. Bill Hart," she
said. “You’d better ride to the fork
in the trail with me. Then folks
won’t think I've ridden off alone,
and worry." From the corner of her
eye Libby had seen Hope Palmer
appear at a corner of the horse
corral and stand watching them.
She didn’t want the little western
girl to think she was entirely
through with her boy friend, just
yet. There were still two weeks
more of vacationing.
Rus Crandall followed her through
the ranch gate, his expression still
a little puzzled. Once in the trail
he tried to catch up, but Libby put
her own mount in the way and kept
the lead. At the fork she spurred
ahead dismissing him with a fare
well wave and a flashing smile.
Libby had no special desire to
ride alone that afternoon. Only she
thought it was high time Rus Cran
dall got it through his thick skull
that their little affair was ended.
It had been fun, so long as he acted
shy and indifferent to her bewitch
ing smile. But now that he had
come to heel, the glamour of the
thing was gone. Despite his west
ern drawl and western mannerisms,
he wasn't unlike a dozen other men
whom Libby had known and broken
back east.
Dull and stupid, she thought. Just
like the rest. Just like these west
ern horses. You break their spirit,
and they’re nothing but a means of
transportation. They haven’t sense
enough to get in out of the rain.
Libby rode farther than she had
planned. The longer she stayed
away the more Rus Crandall would
wonder where she was, and worry.
Thoughts of him worrying were sat
isfying and amusing.
Toward four o’clock Libby turned
about and headed back toward the
ranch. Her pony seemed reluctant
to go, and his stubbornness an
noyed her. Once or twice she jerked
savagely on the reins when he wan
dered from the trail.
An hour later Libby drew to a halt
and looked around. She was in a
little pocket, or valley, in the moun
tains, and nowhere, in any direction,
did she see a familiar landmark.
Feeling vaguely uneasy she guid
ed the pony up the nearest slope and
surveyed the surrounding country.
And in that moment an icy hand
clutched at her heart, a feeling of
panic swept through her. She was
lost
Realization of her predicament
became more and more vivid dur
ing the next hour. Night was shut
ting down, and a cold breeze was
whipping across the hills. The coun
try through which she rode was en
tirely strange and unfamiliar. Fear
possessed her, fear and horror of
what was to come.
Libby tried not to lose her head,
tried not to let her thought dwell
on stories she'd heard of the dread
ful things that happen to tenderfeet
lost in the hills. She sat very still,
trying to think of some plan, un
consciously loosening her grip on
the reins.
Abruptly the pony turned com
pletely around and set off at a jog
ging walk. Libby caught up the
reins with an angry gesture, and as
quickly loosened them again. A
thought had flashed through her
mind, something someone had once
said about western ponies finding
their way home. And then she re
membered how a few hours ago the
pony had seemed reluctant to fol
low the direction she wanted. The
memory caused her heart to leap
She slumped In her saddle ano
let the reins hang loose. The panic
and fear that had possessed hei
were gone. Curiously she had a
sudden faith in the plodding pony
She felt relieved and suddenly
weary.
The pony’s gait was steady and
smooth. It made Libby drowsy and
she dozed. Once during a waking
moment she laughed out loud. She
had called her pony dull and stupid,
and now here he was carrying her
safely home. She wondered if she
had been as far wrong in judging
western men as she had western
horses. She thought of Rus Cran
dall, and knew a pang of regret. Per
haps, like the pony, he had quali
ties worth having, qualities which
had remained concealed because oc
casion hadn’t demanded their dis
play. Dreamingly she told hersell
she had been unwise to cast Rus
aside so easily; he would bear fur
ther consideration.
Libby dozed and woke intermit
tently. Presently the pony ceased
its jogging gait and Libby opened
her eyes. The animal had stopped
near a structure that proved to be
the Lazy W. horse corral. Beyond,
lights from the main ranch house
winked in the darkness.
Libby sat still a moment, con
scious of a stiffness in her muscles,
grateful for the instinctive knowl
edge of her pony and regretful be
cause of her previous contempt for
it; thinking, too of Rus Crandall.
Abruptly she heard voices. Fig
ures came toward her, paused near
the corral, unaware of her presence
there. She heard the silvery laugb
of Hope Palmer and deep-throated
chuckle of Rus’ voice. “—Yep, in
two weeks' time we’U be shet of
them eastern folks, an’ it’ll be a
relief not to have that Miller girl
around. Eastern folks is like east
ern horses, I guess, honey. Spirited
an' all, but without a lick of sense
Say, it must be awful to be as dumb
as that.”
There followed a pause. Libby fell
her cheeks burning, despite the cool
night air. Impulsively she made
as if to speak, and hesitated.
“WeTl be married then and buy
that ranch we’ve been savin’ for.
honey. Then we’ll be shet of east
erners once an’ for all.”
The figures passed on. Libby sai
still for a minute. Then abruptly
she dismounted and set off towaro
the house. There was a smile on
her lips. She was thinking of what
Rus had said about the spirit of
eastern horses—and eastern women.
Most Workers ‘Starved’
For Vital Food Elements
Nutritional science supplies the so
lution to the problem of how to at
tain "buoyant health” in a single
word—vitamins. In most cases the
failure to enjoy buoyant health is
due to vitamin deficiency. In the
past two decades a tremendous
amount has been learned.
Recently Doctors Stiebeling ana
Phipard of the department of agri
culture made a careful survey of the
diets of working people from coast
to coast. They found that half oi
those workers lived on poor diets;
35 per cent could call their food
"fair.” Only 15 per cent had diets
that were good.
The chief difference between the
“good" diets and the "fair” and
"poor” diets was in the amounts of
vitamins and minerals they con
tained. Eighty-five workers out of
a hundred, although they might be
getting enough food by bulk and
weight, were in reality partly
starved for vital food elements.
Early last spring, when our own
national defense went into high
gear, the Nutrition Group was or
ganized at the California Institute
under the headship of Dr. Henry
Borsook. Dr. Borsook and his as
sociates have conducted nutritional
surveys, carried on clinical work
with vitamins, analyzed foods and
performed studies of the effects of
vitamins on human beings. They
proposed to see how their new
knowledge could best be put to the
service of national defense.
The old idea that if people got'
enough to fill them up they were get-:
ting a good diet has been proved er-:
roneous. There must be not only
enough food to provide energy and .
repair wear and tear, but enough
vitamins for the body to use this
food efficiently.
The amount of vitamins any of
us needs daily is amazingly small, j
A person can be healthier on a little
food and plenty of vitamins than on
plenty of food and too few vitamins.

IT IS difficult to know what
to say about the National
Legion of Decency’s banning
of Great Garbo’s new picture,
“Two-Faced Woman,” with
Archbishop Spellman also
condemning it, and various
cities banning it as well. The
plot, that of the woman who
poses as her twin sister to
prove to her husband that she is
glamorous, has been used in Holly
wood over and over. Will H. Hays’
office had passed the picture. There
is hardly a picture-goer who hasn’t
seen things on the screen that
shocked him. But since “Two-Faced
Woman" was banned, there must
have been some excellent reason for
it.

up to some men she didn’t know

“That’s easy,” said Barbara. “I’ll

FARM FAMILIES
NEED A-l DIETS
Use of Protective Foods
Will Aid Good Health.
_
By MISS MABEL G. FERNALD
(Home Demonstration Agent,
Ohio State University.)
One of the best ways rural home
makers can help in the defense pro
gram is to promote better health
through better nutrition for the
I family.
Rural families could improve their
1 diets by using more protective
foods such as milk, eggs, fruits,
and vegetables produced on the
i farm. The average family does not
eat enough of these products to ade
quately supply body needs. Studies
show that only one-fourth of the
families in United States have good
diets, more than one-third have fair
diets, and another third have poor
diets.
The fact that 40 per cent of the
men given physical examinations
in this country failed to pass be
cause of ailments due to faulty nu
trition should spur homemakers on
to a better food program. There is
much discontent and unhappiness in
family life due to poor health.
America wants to protect her chil
dren with plenty of the right food.
Well-balanced meals at regular
hours and plenty of rest and sleep
are essential for normal growth.
Foods necessary for an adequate
diet at moderate costs have been
worked out by nutrition specialists
who say children should have four
cups of milk daily; adults, three
cups; Irish or sweet potatoes should
be served once or twice a day; dry
beans, peas, peanuts, and nuts,
three times a week; tomatoes, cit
rus fruits, or other vitamin C-rich
foods, one serving a day; leafy,
green, or yellow vegetables, one or
two servings a day; other vegeta
bles and fruits about two servings
a day.
Every member of the family
should have an egg a day in addi
tion to those used in cooking. Lean
meat, fish, or poultry should be
served seven or eight times a week;
cereal daily; bread at every meal;
and dessert once or twice a day.
An adequate diet can be made
possible by careful planning by the
homemaker but each individual will
have to assume his share of the re
sponsibility by living up to the high
er nutrition and health standards.
Farm Marketing
Progressiveness is a distinctive
characteristic of many of the co
operative organizations for market
ing farm products, the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture notes in review
ing recent reports. “In many
fields,” says George H. Thomson of
the Farm Credit administration,
“co-operatives are maintaining their
leadership. One large co-operative,
for example, developed the X-ray
method of inspecting fruit which re
veals defects hidden from old in
spection methods. An olive co
operative perfected a machine
which pits ripe olives at the rate
of 750 to 1,000 a minute. It has
enabled the association to lead the
way in putting out a commercial
pack.”
Exercise for Cows
Is First Rate Tonic
During the winter months cows
should be turned out daily for ex
ercise as fresh air and sunshine,
combined with a moderate
amount of exercise is nature’s
best tonic for them. Cows that
are stabled continuously hecome
lame, stiff and develop a general
unthrifty condition, he reminds
dairymen.
Research has shown that mod
erate exercise tends to increase
slightly, both the percentage and
total yield of butterfat. Cows also
benefit from direct exposure to
sunshine when they are turned out
of-doors. The ultra-violet light in
sunshine penetrates the skin and
produces vitamin D from traces
of ergosterol found in the skin
tissues. Sunshine and quality
roughage are the principal
sources of vitamin D in the diary
ration.
The length of time cows should
be permitted to remain out-of
doors will naturally depend upon
weather conditions. It is a good
plan to provide an exercise pad
dock on the sunny side of the
barn where it will be sheltered
from the prevailing winds. From
a management standpoint, it is a
good idea to clean the bam and
re-bed the stalls while the cows
are outside.
Disease and War
Germany’s invasion of the Chan
nel islands, home of the Jersey
and Guernsey dairy cattle breeds, j
has infected them with foot-and
mouth disease, according to Dr. 1
John Mohler, chief of the federal bu- j
reau of animal industry. The is- j
lands were occupied in the summer
of 1940. Russia’s invasion of Fin
land last year brought the disease
to that country, too. He emphasized
the importance of effective quaran
tines to protect U. S. livestock from
foreign disease.
