"REFORM" BILL PASSED
Measure Giving President Vast Powers Squeezes Through
Senate . . • May Die in House

Wide Powers for President
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S reor-
^ ganization bill squeezed through
the senate by the close vote of 49
to 42, after a fierce fight. A mo-
tion to recommit, which would have
virtually killed the measure, was
defeated by a vote of 48 to 43.
Opponents of this bill are con-
vinced that it paves the way for
a dictatorship in the United States.
The measure was sent on to the
house, which already has passed
bills covering some of its features.
There is no certainty, however, that
the senate measure will ever be
brought to a vote in the house.
Chairman O'Connor of the rules
committee said it should be allowed
to slumber peacefully in some pig-
eonhole.
The bill authorizes the President,
by executive order, to transfer, re-
group, co-ordinate, consolidate, seg-
regate the whole or any part of or
abolish any of the 135 bureaus, agen-
cies, and divisions of government.
Excepted from this section, how-
ever, are the federal reserve board,
the corps of engineers of the Unit-
ed States army and the independent,
quasi-judicial and regulatory estab-
lishments, such as the board of tax
appeals, the communications com-
mission, the federal trade com-
mission, the interstate commerce
commission, and the national labor
relations board.
It abolishes the civil service com-
mission as now constituted, and the
general accounting office. It cre-
ates a new "department of wel-
fare," and it authorizes six more
$10,000 a year assistants to the Pres-
ident.
Sen. Bridges
Ten Men to Probe TVA
FIVE senators and five representa-
tives will do the investigating of
the Tennessee Valley authority, for
the resolution for a joint committee
inquiry was adopted
by the senate with-
out a dissenting
vote, and appeared
certain of passage
by the house. The
resolution was intro-
duced by Sen. Alben
W. Barkley of Ken-
t u c k y, majority
leader. It calls
for investigation of
charges of malfea-
sance and dishon-
esty made by the ousted chairman,
A. E. Morgan, and includes eight of
the twenty-three charges originally
made by Senators Bridges and King
in their first resolution for a con-
gressional inquiry. It also calls for
a "fishing expedition" into the ac-
tivities of private utility companies
and their injunction suits against
the TVA.
Sen. H. Styles Bridges, the New
Hampshire Republican, in a radio
debate declared the administration
was trying to obscure the charges
of scandal within the TVA by forc-
ing ttie inquiry to cover the private
utility angle. "The administration's
strategy has been to cover up TVA
dirt by a phoney counter-attack," he
said.
He was answered vigorously by
Sen. Lister B. Hill of Alabama.
Col. House
Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chairman of the senate finance
committee, is here seen telling members of the press wkat his committee
had done and proposed to do to the revenue measure so that it would be
less objectionable to business and to the country in general. It already
had made radical changes in the bill as it was passed by the house.

Utilities Must Register
JN A 6 to 1 decision, the United
States Supreme court upheld the
registration provisions of the Wheel-
er-Rayburn public utility act of
1935, but did not pass on the con-
stitutionality of other parts of the
law, including the death sentence
for holding companies.
Chief Justice Hughes delivered the
court's opinion. Justice McReynolds,
who wrote no opinion, was the only
dissenter. Justice Cardozo, who is
ill, and Justice Reed took no part
in the consideration of the case.

Colonel House Dies
r\ EATH after a long illness ended
the notable career of Col. Ed-
ward M. House, whose name, dur-
ing the World war era, was famil-
iar to millions. He
passed away in New
York at the age of
seventy-nine years.
Shunning publicity
and personal glory,
House devoted him-
self untiringly to
what he deemed the
best interests of his
country and for
years his influence,
especially in inter-
national matters,
was great. An early supporter of
Woodrow Wilson's political fortune
he became Wilson's trusted adviser
after his election to the presidency
and continued to help direct his
course immediately before and dur-
ing the war, making frequent trips
to Europe. He was Wilson's per-
sonal representative in the Ver-
sailles peace conference. Later he
and Wilson disagreed and their
close association came to an end.

Franco in Catalonia
/^ENERAL FRANCO'S insurgent
army blasted its way through
the loyalist lines and entered the
province of Catalonia, moving far
toward Barcelona, the third capital
of the government forces. In this
rapid advance about 100 towns were
captured in a single day and many
villages were demolished by bom-
bardment by a fleet of 200 war
planes said to have been contribut-
ed by Italy and Germany.
Italy warned France that any
French intervention in Spain "might
compromise peace on the European
continent." The organ of the Italian
foreign office, Informazione Diplo#
matica, published the statement.

Silver Buying Halted
SECRETARY OF THE TREAS-
URY MORGENTHAU announced
that the United States had discon-
tinued the purchase of Mexican sil-
ver until further notice. This prob-
ably was a direct result of Mexico's
expropriation of foreign oil proper-
tics, which Secretary of State Hull
considers a hard blow to his "good
neighbor" policies. Price of silver
was cut 1 cent an ounce.
The United States Treasury has
been buying 5.000.000 ounces of new-
ly mined Mexican silver each
month, paying around $2,500,000 for
it at the artificially maintained New
York price, which gave Mexico siz-
able profits.

Relates the Miracle of VITAMINS and
Explains Why YOU MUST EAT
THEM or DIE • • •
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th St., New York.
WE LIVE in the most inspiring age the world has ever
known. Chemists grow plants without soil. Doctors
snatch men from death with insulin. Surgeons perform in-
credibly delicate brain operations. And thanks to the amaz-
ing discoveries of nutritional scientists, children enter the world
with far better chances for long and happy lives, while men and
women of seventy are more active and useful than their grand-
parents were at fifty. ?
Much of the hard - won
knowledge of how to eat so
as to increase efficiency, curb
disease, and improve the
chances for longevity is due
to the discovery of vitamins.
• • •
VITAMINS DISCOVERED
Twenty-six years ago, a now-
famous scientist walked nervously
around his labora-
tory, back and
forth — back and
forth. He was con-
ducting a nutrition
experiment of vast
importance. H e
didn't quite know
what he was going
to find, but he be-
lieved that he was
on the verge of a
revolutionary food
discovery.
The scientist was my friend,
Casimir Funk, a brilliant Polish
bio-chemist. He had been work-
ing on the problem for many
years. At last, in the year 1912,
his experiments were positive and
conclusive. Then he announced
to the scientific world that he had
discovered a vital force. "This
force," said Funk, "I have called
vitamine, because it is necessary
to life."
Thus, the word "vitamin" came
into being, along with the first
knowledge of these minute but
powerful factors which exert such
a tremendous influence on human
health and happiness.

SPARK PLUGS OF NUTRITION
Other bio-chemists throughout
the world—including Sir Frederick
Gowland Hopkins in England, and
Hart, Humphrey, Babcock, Steen-
bock and McCollum in the United
States—had been working on the
same problem that Funk had par-
tially solved. They knew that the
first«step was to find out how vita-
mins affected the human body,
and that the second step was to
discover what foods contained
these vital substances.
And so there began a long se-
ries of experiments in the labora-
tories of great universities all
Have You a Question?
Ask C. Houston Goudiss
C HOUSTON GOUDISS has
' placed at the disposal of
readers of this newspaper all
the facilities of his famous Ex-
perimental Kitchen-Laboratory
in New York City. He will
gladly answer questions con-
cerning foods, diet, nutrition,
and their relation to health.
You are also invited to consult
him in matters of personal hy-
giene. It's not necessary to

sire, for postcard inquiries will
receive the same careful atten-
tion. Addres* C. Houston Gou-

York City.
over the world, which demonstrat-
ed what happens when a diet is
deficient in any of the vitamins,
and proved that if laboratory ani-
mals are wholly deprived of vita-
mins for a short time they will
die.
These experiments are of the ut-
most significance to every home-
maker, because the same thing
happens to human beings as to
experimental animals. Today our
knowledge of vitamins has pro-
gressed to such a degree that it
is possible to state the exact re-
quirement for most of the vita-
mins and to designate the foods
from which adequate quantities
can be obtained.
RESISTANCE AND VITAMIN A
To date, six vitamins have been
identified. Vitamin A promotes
growth and builds resistance to
disease. It is necessary for the
health of the mucous membranes
of the body and helps to guard
against infections of the respira-
tory and alimentary tracts. It in-
fluences the health of the hair and
skin, is necessary to prevent a
serious eye disorder known as
night blindness, and is essential
for the formation of healthy teeth.
Vitamin A is found in milk, but-
ter, margarine that has been re-
inforced with vitamin A concen-
trate, egg yolk, cod-liver oil, thin
green leaves and yeliow fruits and
vegetables such as carrots, sweet
potatoes, apricots and bananas.
APPETITE AND VITAMIN B
Vitamin B promotes appetite,
aids digestion, prevents a serious
nerve disorder. It is essential to
the maintenance of a good diges-
tion, which is vitally important if
the body is to obtain full benefit
from the food consumed. This
vitamin is closely related to the
energy metabolism, and the re-
quirement increases with the rate
of growth and with increased en-
ergy expenditure, so that growing
children and working men and
women should receive very gen-
erous amounts.
Vitamin B is found in yeast,
whole wheat cereals, oatmeal,
milk, fresh and dried peas and
beans, spinach, cabbage and other
greens, egg yolk and liver.
VITAMIN C FOR TEETH, GUMS
Vitamin C plays an important
part in regulating body processes,
and prevents the dread disease of
scurvy. A lack of this essential vi-
tamin results in profound changes
in the structure of the teeth and
gums, may be responsible for
i hemorrhages occurring anywhere
in the body, and for the degenera-
tion of muscle fibers generally.
Vitamin C is most abundant in
succulent fresh green leaves, such
as green cabbage. It is also found
in onions, potatoes, oranges, to-
matoes, green peppers, bananas
and strawberries. In most foods,
it is easily destroyed by heat-
that is why it is so important to
include some fresh raw foods in
the diet daily.
• • •
VITAMIN D AND RICKETS
Vitamin D is sometimes called
the sunshine vitamin because it1
can be manufactured in the body
through the action of direct sun-
light on the skin. This is the vita-
min that is necessary for the
proper utilization of calcium and
phosphorus in building bones and
teeth. When it is lacking in the
diet of infants, there develops that
horrible disease known as rickets,
in which the bones become soft
and twisted, resulting in pitiful
deformities — knock knees, bow
legs, pigeon breast.
In foods, vitamin D is only
found in appreciable amounts in
fish-liver oils and egg yolk. That
is why every homemaker should
be so grateful to the scientists who
labored to discover how to con-
centrate this precious vitamin
from fish-liver oils and add it to
foods, or to increase the vitamin
D content of foods through irradi-
ation.
ANTI-STERILITY VITAMIN E
Vitamin E comes in for less dis-
cussion than the others, because
its significance to nutrition has not
been fully determined. It does,
however, appear to be necessary
for successful reproduction and is
found especially in wheat germ
and lettuce. £
• • •
VITAMIN G PROLONGS YOUTH
Vitamin G is necessary for
growth and for the maintenance
of health and vigor at all ages.
It helps to ward off old age by
prolonging the vigorous middle
years. It is essential to the health
of the skin, and recent experi-
ments demonstrate that cataracts
in the eyes may be due to a de-
ficiency of this vitamin, which is
found in yeast, and in liver, kid-
neys, egg yolk, milk, cheese and
green leafv vegetables.
One authority claims that
chronic disorders of the throat,
stomach, lungs, colon, heart and
kidneys may be traced to vitamin
and mineral deficiencies.
Certainly enough has been
learned of vitamin chemistry to
make clear that the homemaker
fails in her duty who does not pro-
vide vitamins in abundance for
every member of her family. Both
children and adults depend upon
you for their food supply. It lies
within your power to help them to
health and happiness or condemn
them to weakness, illness and sor-
row. Do not fail them. See to it
that every member of your house-
hold—your children, the wage
earners, the middle aged and the
elderly—get enough vitamins to
afford them the health that sci-
ence has placed within their
grasp.
