What to Eat and Why
C. Houston Goudiss Recommends Generous Use of
Eggs; Shows How This Protective Food
Helps to Balance the Diet
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
ANY experienced homemaker knows the many cookery
. uses of eggs. Indeed, she is likely to feel that she could
not keep house without this indispensable ingredient, which
a French chef once described as “the cement that holds the
castles of cookery together.” It is true that we should have
to do without some of our most delectable dishes if eggs were
not available to use as thickening, leavening, coating, binder,
clarifier, stabilizer or garnish.#
But even more significant than
their contribution to good
cooking are their splendid nu-
tritional values.
A Notable Protective Food
Eggs rank next to milk in that
group of mineral—and vitamin-
rich foods that we
call “protective.”
They contain sub-
stances that are
very efficient for
growth and devel-
opment. And in the
opinion of nutri-
tionists, they are
more nearly inter-
changeable with
milk than any oth-
er food.
Eggs are among
the first foods to be added to the
milk diet of infants. And home-
makers who desire to give their
families well-balanced meals
should provide an egg daily for
every individual.
This requirement can be re-
duced, if necessary, to four eggs
weekly. But luckily, as we head
toward spring, eggs become more
plentiful, and lower in price. And
it is usually possible for every
family to obtain a full quota of
this splendid food ... so rich in
the elements that help to build
muscle, bone and blood.
A Fine Body Builder
Eggs contain proteins of high
quality, and their proteins seem
to be particularly well adapted to
building body tissue. That is one
reason why this food is so desir-
able in the child's diet ... so
useful in constructing the diet for
adults who need “building up.”
It also makes eggs a logical
choice as a main dish for Lenten
meals.
It’s interesting to note that the
proteins of the white and yolk of
an egg are quite different in their
properties. Egg white is almost
pure protein and water, while the
protein of the yolk is composed
of a different assortment of amino
acids, or building stones.
The yolk also contains fat . . .
in a finely emulsified form, so that
like milk fat, it is comparatively
easy to digest. And it is the yolk
which is highly prized for its
rich store of minerals and vita-
mins. It is therefore considered
the most important part of the
egg for young children, and the
white is often withheld and only
the grated yolk given.
Rich in Iron and Phosphorus
Eggs are notable as a source of
iron and phosphorus. Iron is
necessary for the formation of the
hemoglobin or red pigment of the
blood, and the iron in eggs is
valuable for this purpose. Phos-
phorus is the mineral that pairs
with calcium in building teeth and
bones. It also plays an important
part in regulating the neutrality
of the blood. The phosphorus in
eggs occurs in a form that is par-
ticularly well adapted to the needs
of the growing body.
Four Important Vitamins
As our knowledge of vitamins
has increased, nutritionists have
urged that eggs be accorded a
wider place in the diet, for they
supply four of these vital factors—
vitamins A, B, D and G. They
are an important source of vita- i
min A, which promotes growth
and helps build resistance to dis-
ease. The appetite-promoting vi-
tamin B occurs in lesser amounts
than A, but its presence helps to
increase the quantity of this es-
sential substance included in the
daily diet.
Eggs are one of the few foods
naturally containing vitamin D,
sometimes called the sunshine vi-
tamin. And it has been deter-
mined that they are rich in vita-
min G, which is required for
health and vitality at all ages.
Raw Egg* v*. Cooked
Eggs are one of the foods that
digest most satisfactorily, about
97 to 98 per cent of their protein
being digested and absorbed.
Moreover, the thoroughness of di-
gestion does not seem to be af-
fected by the method of cooking,
and a hard-cooked egg, when well
masticated, is as completely di-
gested as one that is soft-cooked.
Raw egg white on the other hand
is not as completely utilized as
when slightly cooked. This shows
the fallacy of the old-fashioned
idea that raw eggs were more
desirable for invalids than cooked
eggs.
Brown Egg* v*. White
Some people have an idea that
the color of the shell has a bear-
ing upon the nutritive value of an
egg. In certain parts of the coun-
try, homemakers will pay a pre-
mium for eggs with white shells.
In other sections, brown eggs are
in greater demand, and therefore
sell at a higher price. There is
no justification for attaching any
importance to the color of the
shell.
Avoid "Samo Old Thing"
Occasionally homemakers tell
me that some member of their
family doesn’t like eggs. It is
true that some people have an al-
lergy to eggs, that is, they cannot
eat them without having some ab-
normal reaction. But more often,
any antipathy to eggs is due to
the fact that they have been
served in the same way. day in
and day out. There is no excuse
for that, for eggs are so versatile
that they may be served in dozens
of different ways, and in some
dishes, their identity can be en-
tirely concealed.
“Sunny side up” may be the
most popular method of preparing
eggs. But don't get into a menu
rut, whether you are serving them
for breakfast, dinner, lunch or
supper. Cook them soft. Cook
1 them hard. Transform them into
omelets and souffles. Scramble
them, plain, or dressed up with
cheese, diced bacon, frizzled dried
beef or sausages.
Egg* for Lenten Meal
As a main dish for a Lenten
meal, hard-cooked eggs may be
creamed and served alone, or
combined with cooked vegetables
or fresh or canned fish. Use them
as a binder in croquettes and loaf
mixtures, as a coating for deep-
fried foods.
French toast is a simple lunch-
eon dish, combining the energy
values of bread with the fine nu-
tritive values of eggs. Hearty
luncheon salads or sandwiches
can be made by combining
chopped or sliced hard-cooked
eggs with fresh or cooked vege-
tables.
Since eggs admirably supple-
ment the food values of milk,
puddings made from milk and
eggs are an ideal dessert for chil-
dren, and help to balance the diet
of adults. Custard pies, fruit
whips and cakes are also delight-
ful dishes that bring to the diet
th© protective values of eggs.

Sour Notes. Too many wary busi-
ness men regard Mr. Hopkins*
speech—keynote of the entire recov-
ery campaign—not as a sincere ad-
ministration gesture but as a po-
litical buildup for Mr. Hopkins' pres-
idential nomination in 1940. By pos-
ing, sincerely or otherwise, as busi-
ness' friend he is taking the only
road now open if the administration
hopes to gain a considerable sup-
port from business in the next elec-
tion.
Disregarding the possibility of in-
sincerity, other financial circles
doubt the wisdom of continued U. S.
spending. Most charitable Wall
Street view is that New Deal theo-
rists are belatedly discovering the
impossibility of taxing a nation back
to good times. Least charitable
view is that of Manhattan's Guar-
anty Trust company, which minces
no words about spending. While

WASHINGTON. - On President
Roosevelt’s list of “must” legisla-
tion a year or so ago was a bill
that, when it eventually became a
law, was called the “Fair Labor
Standards Act of 1938." It was made
to apply to all business crossing
state lines, or to products thus man-
ufactured that went into channels of
trade outside of the state where they
were produced. It set certain rates
of minimum pay and established a
limitation on the number of hours
workers could continue on the job.
Everyone refers to it now as the
wages and hours law.
At the time of the appointment of
Elmer F. Andrews, as wages and
hours administrator, I discussed the
potential success or failure that lay
ahead for such a law. In looking
over my files of the time, I found
that I wrote, concerning the law,
that “Mr. Andrews can either make
or break it” by the policies he
adopts and the interpretations he
makes of the law's provisions. I
said also that he must use great
care in the selection of subordinates.
All of which leads into discussion
of a situation that has arisen re-
specting application of the law to
several industries. Generally, too.
it forces a conclusion that here is
just another law under which gov-
ernment is interfering in the normal
living of people. As usual, the peo-
ple are the victims of too much gov-
ernment.
While there are several lines of
industry about which I want to write
in this analysis, the most flagrant
misgovernment and the most dam-
aging result, as far as I can see, is
the application of the wages and
hours law to the little known, but
widely used, small independent tele-
phone companies. I am referring
to that type of telephone company

Seldom has history found a con-
queror who would retire to let oth-
ers enjoy the sweet fruit of victory.
Since 1932 Gen. Francisco Franco
has grown in stature as Spain’s man
of destiny, at first unknown outside
his native land but later an inter-
national figure as head of the In-
surgent rebellion. With the civil war
apparently ended, all Europe has
looked to Spain for some hint of
1Generalissimo Franco's plans, dis-
covering that the impossible is ap-
parently true.
Best guesses hold that monarchy
will return in the person of Don
Juan, third son of former King Al-
fonso whose properties were re-
stored last fall. Popular, untouched
Transportation
Current legislative proposals
aid railroads rest mainly on the
thesis that all transportation must
be co-ordinated to eliminate favor-
itism and duplication of service.
Even more pointed than bills fa-
thered by California’s Rep. Clar-
ence F. Lea and Montana’s Sen.
Burton K. Wheeler is the proposal
of the Association of American Rail- j
roads, just submitted to the house
interstate commerce committee.
Its gist: All rail, water and motor
transport systems would be regulat-
ed by a single federal agency.
While the interstate commerce com-
mission would continue to fix rates,
financial and administrative func-
tions would be vested in five $12,000-
a-year men appointed by the Presi-
dent. The board s tasks: (1) to
determine the "relative economy
and fitness" of all carriers; (2) to
ferret out reports of U. S. subsi-
dies to common carriers other than
the railroads.
Complained Attorney R. V. Fletch-
er, general counsel for the railroads:
"Under present conditions there are
no good times for the railroads.
When earnings are not good we
can't raise the rates and when they
are good we are told that a rate
increase would be contrary to a
sound economic end."
Agriculture
Some 11,000,000 bales of surplus
(J. S. cotton are piled up under gov-
ernment loans of about $500,000,000.
Though unhappy, cotton farmer*
voted for continued production con-
trol last December because they ex-
pected more loans. With planting
time near and no substitute yet
found for the present loan system
(which cannot be continued econom-
ically so long as huge government-
held surpluses fafi to move), Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry A. Wal-
lace offered three suggestions to the
senate farm committee and ended
by urging adoption of the last:
(1) Continue the present loan plan,
provided American cotton can be
placed on the unhappily low world
market One means of doing this is
through U. S. subsidy.
(2) Abandon the loan plan and
grant sufficiently large outright
benefit payments to maintain farm
income. Mr. Wallace’s
method here is probably
regarded processing tax.
(3) Peg domestic prices
surpluses abroad for whatever they
would bring, as under the much-
debated “cost-of-production" plan.
Though cost-of-production has never
held favor with Mr. Wallace, the
impossibility of winning a return of
processing taxes has presumably
forced a compromse. The few
known facts of the two-price cotton
plan are that present loan provi-
sions would be retained to maintain
domestic prices higher than the
present level (about 8.3 cents per
pound), while government-owned
cotton would be sold to exporters
for world distribution.
Biuineu
Compared with 1923-25, Decem-
ber's federal reserve industrial in-
dex was 104. January** index
dropped to 101 and there was no
seasonal gain the first three week*
at February. Below-normal produc-
tion report* came from industries
like steel, automobile, silk, cotton
and tobacco. Payrolls dropped and
retail volume was off sharply. Sec-
retary of the Treasury Henry Mor-
genthau Jr. said this was just a
"breathing spell," but he and other
administration leaders evidently
thought otherwise. Since Harry
Hopkins was appointed commerce
secretary in December to replace
Daniel C. Roper, unmistakable busi-
ness conciliation efforts have been
made. Among them:
Hopkins’ Speech. At Des Moines
Mr. Hopkins made his first major
speech as secretary of commerce,
announcing the New Deal’s empha-
sis has shifted from reform to re-
covery. Promises: There will be
no general tax rise this year; taxes
which "freeze" the flow of capital
will be amended; the profit system
will be protected; small business,
particularly, should be aided. But
there was no hint of a change in
the one U. S. policy that has done
more than anything else to alienate
business, namely, government
spending. The Hopkins plan: Bal-
ance the budget and retire the debt
with taxes coming at current rates
from increased national income,
rather than substantially increasing
taxes at this time or reducing nec-
essary expenditures.
Morgenthan Backwater. January
19 found Mr. Morgenthau telling a
house appropriations committee
that from $400,000,000 to $450,000,000
new taxes were needed this year;
moreover that the U. S. public debt
limit must be boosted from $45,000,-
000,000 (which will be reached by
July 1, 1940) to $50,000,000,000 or
more. The same day Mr. Hopkins
spoke, however, Mr. Morgenthau
told his press conference he still
favored biking the debt limit but
that a no-new-tax policy had been
adopted. Also, he asked congress
to study the present tax structure
with an eye to revisions. Many ob-
servers believe Mr. Morgenthau has
been the New Deal's leading econ-
omy advocate all along, probably
fathering the conciliation plan.
Congressional Hints. A pro-admin-
istration congress must shift its
legislative program to satisfy White
House whims. So must an insur-
gent congress shift to satisfy the na-
tion. Part loyal and part insurgent,
the seventy-sixth congress is now
plotting a course to carry out Mr.
Roosevelt’s recovery suggestions
first, then take another step to ap-
pease business. Scheduled for hear-
ing: (1) repeal of the undistributed
surplus tax, plus reduction in capi-
tal gains levy; (2) cut in expendi-
tures, continuing the rebel policy
that ha* already resulted in five
consecutive slashes in administra-
tion appropriation bills; (3) revision
of Wagner labor act to insure equal
employer-employee rights; and (4)
reduction in social security payroll
taxes, with possible adoption of a
pay-as-you-go system. Wyoming’s
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney of the
much-feared federal monopoly in-
vestigation committee has promised
no general anti-monopoly legisla-
tion will be offered this session, giv-
ing business another incentive.
Labor Peace. Notoriously unsuc-
cessful in settling differences be-
tween C. I. O. and A. F. of L., the
U. S. labor department has been
completely ignored in new adminis-
tration gestures. Secretary Hopkins
rightly maintains labor peace is a
prerequisite to business upturn, so
his department now takes the lead.
Scheduled immediately is a peace
parley probably with President
Roosevelt in the arbiter’s role,
whose success would prevent a bit-
ter factional fight over Wagner act
amendments. Hearings open May
10. Chief stumbling block is that
C. I. O.’s John Lewis offers a formu-
la for chartering all C. I. O. unions
by A. F. of L., or vice versa, leav-
ing two opposing unions in many
fields. A. F. of L.’s William Green
denounces the plan as "impossible.”
would be $2,190 a year instead
whatever rate now is paid; and it
would mean, moreover, that there
would have to be three or four op-
erators. That is to say, no operator
could work more than 42 hour* per
week—a seven-hour day of a six-
day week. And what would that
mean? Every one of those compa-
nies would be forced to collect three
or four times as much per month
from the subscribers, or close down
the system.
Then, to show how widespread the
effect would be, let me cite the num-
ber of exchanges in a few states:
Iowa, 802; Illinois, 917; Alabama,
167; Arkansas, 299, Indiana, 695;
Maine, 128; Michigan, 351; Minne-
sota, 578; Missouri, 776, and Texas,
898. It is to be remembered that
these are purely local companies.
Whatever number of exchanges are
operated in those states by the Bell
Tjlephone company are in addition.
But we are not concerned with the
Bell system. That outfit is big
enough to fight its own battles.
Cannot See What They
Are Doing to the Country
Why these smart boys cannot see
what they are doing to the country,
is a question which I cannot answer.
Either they are utterly dumb or they
are promoting the organization work
for passage of the wages and hours
law. The C. I. O. certainly has
demonstrated it does not belong in
the list of real American organiza-
tions, but it still has political power.
The connection with C. I. O. agita-
tion might be traced through the
fact that the law contains a provi-
sion permitting a worker to sue for
damages if the employer (in this
case the telephone company) com-
pels violation of the law by forcing
overtime work.
The political phases of the situa-
tion are quite important because of
the vast number of voters directly
affected. I do not mean to say that
Senator Herring and Representative
Harrington, both of Iowa, have intro-
duced bills to exempt the local com-
panies. from purely political mo-
tives. But I suspect that the political
pressure will cause many members
of the house and the senate to favor
passage of those bills.
I have mentioned heretofore how
often the “unelected” officials of the
government—those appointed by the
President or his subordinates—
either have ignored political history
or they know nothing about political
history. The case of the independ-
ent telephone companies is a splen-
did illustration.
Lately, the little independent steel
companies have felt the dead hand
of government through the same
law. I am not informed as to all
details of their case, but there were
44 eastern independent steel compa-
nies appeared recently before the
propaganda spreading temporary
national economics committee, seek-
ing relief. The independent steel
companies are to the great steel
manufacturers as the little independ-
ent telephone companies are to the
Bell system. The wages and hour:,
law will wreck them, they told the
national economics committee which
has come to be known as the mo-
nopoly investigation.
Forces Industry Into Spot
Where It Cannot Do Business
If those little fellows have to meet
wages and hours set for them by
Miss Perkins, secretary of labor, to
whom Mr. Andrews is subordinate,
the steel people say they will go
broke. Or, at least, they charged,
they could get no government con-
tracts because of failure to comply
with the law. Since the government
is spending billions of dollars to
create employment and for general
relief, I can not help wondering why
it wants to force one segment of
industry into a spot where it can
do no business and employ labor.
The whole thing, however, gets
more cockeyed as time gones on.
There Seems to be no limit to the
lengths to which bureaucrats, drunk
with power, will go in abusing the
nation. Who was there that did not
express the greatest disgust at the
assinine story which came out of
New York city the other day. I re-
fer to the problem before the New
York state labor board which was
called upon to decide whether a pro-
fessional woman model was fired
because she had been active as a
union organizer or because her hips
were too wide. The woman claimed
she had been fired because she was
trying to organize a union of mod-
els. Her former employers said her
hips were too broad to properly wear
the clothes they wished to display.
While the story is not lacking in
humor, it must be treated serious-
ly because the width of this girl’s
hips may yet be a question of na-
tional importance. It is a fact, and
not a witicism. that the national la-
bor relations board may yet be
called upon to measure those hips
and determine, as judges of fashion,
whether she can properly display
the latest mode of spring apparel.
to Western Newspaper Union.
Nearly 30,000 Independent
Telephone Companies in U. S.
When I heard that some of the
subordinates in Mr. Andrews’ agen-
cy were determined to apply the
provisions of the wages and hours
law to the independent telephone, I
began to dig around for information
about them. I am acquainted with
those units of service. I know what
it is to turn the crank on the big
box that hangs on the wall in order
to ring a neighbor on a party line;
it is >.ot an unfamiliar fact either
to hear of how the switchboard, lo-
cated in somebody's home in the
village, closes down at nine o'clock
at night, and no one is supposed to
ring unless it is a case of sickness
or other emergency.
I was stunned, however, to real-
ize that there are nearly 30,000 such
companies in the United States. Nor
was I prepared to understand, at
once, that there are approximately
4.100,000 “stations" or subscribers
to those companies. If we figure an
average family as five, we arrive
at the conclusion obviously that
nearly 21,000,000 persons depend
upon that type of service.
The wages and hours administra-
tion does not propose to apply the
law to all of these; it eliminated
more than half of the total, but a
bunch of the smart boys under Mr.
Andrews have decided the law
should apply to 12.461 such compa-
nies. They decided the law can be
applied, even though the companies
are entirely within the confines of
a county, in most instances, because
the little switchboards are able to
make a connection with “long dis-
tance" companies. It may not hap-
pen more than five times a month,
but the little company is doing "in-
terstate" business. Hence, your Un
cle Sam, acting through the bureau-
crats, proposes to tell the local com-
panies they must pay the wages
designated by the federal law and
limit the hours of those who earn
their living that way.
Wou/d Force Companies to
Increase Their Rates
Now, I am thoroughly familiar
i with the limitation of opportunities
of employment for women and girls
in the small towns. I know that the
small telephone companies employ
them as operators, or they employ
somebody not physically able to do
other types of work. The pay is
small, but it provides a comfortable
living in most cases. Perhaps, the
pay ought to be higher, but if the
pay is higher, the town and country
subscribers will have to pay more.
The reason those companies succeed
and render the valuable service that
is rendered is because they hold
down expenses and provide service
at a dollar, nr around that figure,
per month. One realizes better what

maintains that this alone would be

idea: To encourage private invest-

ing public works.

er hand ... If Mr. Hopkins will

crete and helpful formula which
means what it says, I think he can
be sure of great hospitality in both
congress and the country."
