visited the home of Mrs. Belloc
Loundes, the English novelist, whom
Alexander Woolcott once described
as Queen Victoria with a French
accent. And it was her French an-

QOME years ago I found my-
seif writing very often about
the liver and gall bladder. I felt
that as the liver was really the
king of the organs
(from the stand-
point of work and
of health), I could
not write too often
about it. I decid-
ed to write about the liver about
four to six times a year.
As mentioned before, the
healthy liver keeps us free
from many symptoms that
would make life miserable because
it filters poisons from the blood,

the space serve as secondary sit-

Another French .influence on cur-
rent bedroom styles is the preva-
lence of upholstered beds. Not the
forma! types that probably come to
mind when the subject comes up—
<he upholstered beds we mean are
unpretentious and provincial in
mood, and often they’re covered in
chintz cretonne, sateen or twill.
Watch also for them in pastel leath-
ers and leatherettes. Two bedrooms
in Lily Pons’ country cottage have
upholstered beds—her own bed is
covered with quilted blue chintz. An-
other room has twin beds Uphol-
stered in gray-and-yellow flowered
chintz. Consider this idea when you
are refurnishing because the new

The chief symptom for which the
dried bile was given was loss of ap-
petite. When the feeding of the bile
proved helpful the increase in ap-
petite was evident usually within a
few hours. Also the other symp-
toms usually present—belching, gas
'distension (fullness) and constipa-
tion—were corrected in the majority
,'of cases.

RALEIGH, N. C.—Like modern
Noahs fleeing before the deluge of a
deadly blight, botanists at North
Carolina State college are rearing
young chestnut trees here, tremu-
lously hopeful that the Asiatic blight
will not find them out this far from
the chestnut’s natural habitat. When
the scourge has killed the last tree
in the highlands and has no further
victims to feed upon, the young
trees thriving on the campus here
will be available for the eons-long
task of replenishing the earth..
They will not have long to wait.
Two decades ago the chestnut was
one of North Carolina’s most lordly
trees. Highly prized as lumber, it
also was valuable for chemical ex-
tracts, and for pulp. But chiefly it
was beloved because of its fruit—
the succulent chestnut. Twenty-five
years ago, mountain wagons, drawn
by oxen, brought full loads of the
chestnuts down into the foothill
towns, making trips which lasted a
week or two.
Once Furnished Bread.
Large, easily cracked (and, alas,
oftentimes wormy), the chestnut
was almost the official nut of North
Carolina. To the Cherokees of the
Smokies, the chestnut was a tradi-
tional food, and the meat of the
nut was dried, ground into a meal
and mvde into bread. Destruction
of the chestnut was a calamitous
event to the Indians.
About 1904 an Oriental fungus
known as Endothia Parasitica ap-
peared on the trees, and with' ap-
palling speed swept through New
England and entered the South. It
attacked the bark of the American
chestnut, girdled the trunk, and
killed the tree with amazing dis-
patch. The fungus was very pro-
lific and its seed so light that every
breeze wafted it on its lethal jour-

WASHINGTON .-With the excep-
tion of emergency relief agencies,
the navy is Uncle Sam’s greatest
expense, representing an investment
of approximately $4,000,000,000 by
the end of the next fiscal year on
June 30, 1940.
This is the estimate included in
the navy’s annual expense account,
a model summation of income and
outgo whose 80 pages itemize every
piece of equipment from live stock
valued at $33 to the aircraft car-
rier Lexington, listed as an item
of $44,202,620. Other listings include
expenditures for agricultural imple-
ments, cigarettes, pills, hay for live
stock and airplanes.
A summation of annual naval ap-
propriations since the nation was
founded shows a marked increase
from the $768,888 spent in 1794. Dur-
ing the entire period since then the
navy has cost American taxpayers
$16,634,002,603, of which $13,032,828,-
842 has been spent since 1917 and
$3,000,000,000 under the present ad-
ministration.
AU ehairs to match in floral chintz,

for instance, the curtains and slip
covers are in a large scale flowered
chintz with a cream ground, and
the rug is a soft sage green. For
accent odd cushions in a deep, red
and silver for accessories.
The dining room and the guest
room are both done in the same col-
ors and material—which gives a
feeling of spaciousness and poise to
a small house.
Nell’s room has curtains in cream
ninon draped softly and fully and
tied back in big swooping loops, and
the bedspread is cream candlewick.
The furniture, painted light green,
has small flower garlands painted
on it, and the rug is an all-over
floral.
Because of the subtle simplicity
of the decorative scheme, you have
a feeling that the house itself has
more dignity and size than it really
has.

about 23 different substances in I
making the skin tests. Among these |
substances were ragweed, golden-
rod, horse hair, cats’ fur, eggs and
whole wheat. Today he uses over
400 different substances and it is
likely that in the days to come there
.will be many more found that cause
hay fever, asthma, head colds, ec-
sema, hives, stomach and intestinal
(upsets and other symptoms.
‘ This sensitiveness (allergy) to va-
rious substances runs in families
just as do tuberculosis, rheumatism
and other ailments. It is now be-
lieved that almost two of every
three sensitive or allergic individ-
uals have inherited this “tendency”
—not the ailment itself. Thus the
’grandparent may have asthma, the
parent hay fever, and the grand*
child eczema. There is thus said
to be a “hay fever, asthma, eczema
complex" in some families.
Cause Can Usually Be Found.
The point to remember is, of
course, that these sensitive individ-
uals, although they have the “tend-
ency,” will not suffer with any of
these ailments—stomach upsets,
asthma and others—unless they eat
these foods or breathe in these sub-
stances. Many drugs, soaps and
face powders are responsible for
symptoms. There is always some
definite substance causing the symp-
toms, and this substance or sub-
stances can usually be found if
searched for long enough. This
«nay mean, as mentioned above, a
great many skin tests or other tests
3>cfdrc the offending substances are
found.
The tests are made by making
■tiny scratches on the skin—usually
-^.the forearm or thigh—and the sub-
stance in the form of a powder or
paste is applied to the scratch.
By avoiding the foods or other
aubstances causing the symptoms
[the individual would likewise avoid
these symptoms. However, as
many of these substances must be
eaten to sustain life or cannot be
KA avoided because they are in the air
and are breathed into the lungs,
treatment is given by injecting these
offending substances under the skin.

It Fits the Character.
In other words, there are fewer
doodads and thingumabobs, which
is a good indication of the Garner ,
philosophy. He’s old-fashioned
enough to question some of the more
unusual featuresi of the New Deal.
And he’s the classic type politician
who holds party solidarity above
immediate expediency, which ex-
plains why he doubts that the Demo-
cratic party will hold together un-
less it regains the confidence of
business.
Garner independence didn’t assert
itself until the winter of 1937 when
the vice president demanded action
to curb sit-down strikes. It gained
strength the following spring when
he refused to participate in the Su-
preme court enlargement fight.
If John Garner is elected Presi
dent, December 17, 1938, will go
down in history as the day his boom
started. It was then he returned to
Washington and found conservative
Democrats trying to decipher hand-
writing on the wall. Did the No-
vember election defeats mean a na-
tional trend to Republicanism? Pres-
ident Roosevelt thought not, main-
taining local issues alone were in-
volved. Jim Farley thought other-
wise and it was time for all good
Democrats to come to the aid of
their party.
Mr. Garner Talks Harmony.
What happened during Jack Gar-
ner’s two-hour conference with Mr.
Farley may never be known. Nei-
ther will the 3%-hour discussion with
President Roosevelt be divulged, but
when Cactus Jack emerged it was
quite obvious the nation’s No. 1 and
No. 2 citizens had been talking party
harmony.
Subsequently the Garner club
grew. Paths were beaten to its door
by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace,
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins,
Treasury Undersecretary Hanes and
many a big and little congressman.
Sometimes they came singly, at oth-
er times in groups, but always they
came. It could mean only one thing:
Cactus Jack had been chosen leader
of the conservative Democrats.
This leadership is a peculiar thing,
almost a negative quantity because
Mr. Garner doesn’t make speeches
against his boss, indeed has never
committed himself in public. Some
arch-New Dealers think he’s plotting,
craftily to overthrow Mr. Roosevelt,
but the men who know him under-
stand better. It’s the magnetic
charm of a man who’s been mel-
lowed and wizened by 37 years in
congress, and who today is more
than just a vice president but a
patron saint as well, t-i
His hobby is helping congressional !
youngsters get a start in the world.
If you’ve any doubts about this,
count noses among Texas’ numeri-
cally insignificant representation
and you’ll find a powerhouse. In the
house, Marvin Jones heads the ag-
riculture committee. Milton West
the elections committee, Hatton
Sumners the judiciary committee,
Fritz Lanham public buildings and
grounds, Joseph Mansfield rivers
and harbors and Martin Dies, un-
American activities. Sam Raybum
is majority floor leader.
In the senate Morris Sheppard
heads both military affairs and cam-
paign expenditures committees
while Torn Connally heads public
buildings and grounds. Both make
their voices heard often in other
committees.
The 1940 campaign is still far from
cut and dried, but there is no better
watchword than ex-President Hoov-
er’s admonition in 1929 to a fledgling
Washington reporter: “There’s one
man on Capitol Hill you will always
want to watch. He is that red-faced
bushy-browed man from Texas,
John N. Gamer—one of the shrewd-
est and ablest men in American
political life.”

to creamed vegetable dishes with
which it is served in the form of
