CASE OF "ALABAMA" PITTS rUCH fine sentiment la being apllled these days .iwer the Bad case of "Alabama" Pitts, lately or Sin Sing prison, ao far denied admittance to pro' fesslonal baseball, though his services are wanted by the Albany (N. Y.) ball club. The sad-eyed psalmists of reform want organized baseball to open , its doora Instantly to the worthy Mr. Pitta. They are Impatient of the delays of the famous Kenesaw Mountain Landis, supreme Judge of the baseball realm, in the handling of the case. "Is the fine clean aport of baseball," say they, "in enntend that a man shan't have another ehance?" And remembering . some of baseball'a family candals they quote: "Let him who la without aln cast the first atone" te. There are some phases of the situation which. the sealous upllftera overlook. It Is one thing to rive a reformed criminal honest work. It Is quite another thing to employ him such a way that there Is an exploitation of bla record, aa such, though the practice is not unknown among a certain class of evangelist and medicine men and such. It haa not ' been proved that young Pitta la a player of phenom enal merit, Indispensable to baseball. His chief box office appeal would be In his past as a convict. It Is a question whether such a situation would be entirely fair either to baseball or to Pitta him self. Baseball baa a perfect right to demand that Ita young men ahall come to the game with clean records. It has done better than the average busi ness In weeding out the known crooks. Baseball la not a reform school. Least of all can it afford to exploit attractions of questionable merit. Baseball might very well aay to some of the petitioners: "Why don't you give Pitts bla chance In some leas consplclous occupation which does not involve such prominent relation! with tbe public?" Contraat the furor over Pitta with the simultan eous agitation against the parole nulaance (as re vealed in tbe Weyerhaeuser kidnap caae). Tbe two public attltudea do not balance. Men coming out of prison deserce a chance, but there la plenty to In dicate that we do not know very much about pro viding It. HUEY JOINS OUR FORUM LOOKING over Huey" Long's remarkable filibus ter apeech against the skeleton NRA we are In clined to agree with Marian Lowry'a suggestion that Huey should be Invited to be a contributor to our Housewives' Forum. For the Klngflsh we have at last found a niche. For with all the authority of a true chef, the senator from Louisiana has laid down the law on certain Important points concerning "pot-llkker", fried oysters and Roquefort dressing. Bald he:- "Pot-llkker la the residue and remains from the commingling and heating and the evaporation of vegetables. It la all left In the bottom of the pot. Here'a how It la made. You take greens, and, Mr. President, you've got to wash greens. Tbat'a the first thing you do wash tha turnips and greens. Then you put 'em In the pot. But remember this- don't sslt 'em. Don't pepper 'em. Don't put vine gar on 'em, don't put any seasoning on 'em. "Then put In there a piece of salted aldemeat, sliced Just down to the akin part." (At this point. Long paused to decide the proper amount of meat to use.) "Well, it you take a pot about three-quar-tera the alee of this," he said, holding a wastebasket handed to hlro by a helpful colleague, "It ahould be about a pound. Take this aldemeat. It's Just aalty enough to season the greens. Now when you've cooked the turnips and the greens till they're tender then you've got pot llkker." His next was for fried oysters "which really Is my dish." A friend, he said, sent him a bushel basket from Louisiana. To fry them, he used cotton seed oil, lard, salt and a atralner. "I rolled the oysters In meal and salt," he said "I put 'em or. a big muslin cloth and shoved them Into the ove i. I took them out when they became copper colored. Mr. President, those were real oysters." For Roquefort cheese salad dressing Long said: "First you take a pound of Roquefort cheese. You take a fork and mash it. Don't use a potato masher. Then you put In olive oil. About three tablesnoonfuls and stir that In slowly until It has a creamy consistency. Then you put In vinegar, about two tablespoonfuls. Stir that In slowly at first, then faster until It la spongy. After that you put in Worcestershire sauce, about one and one- halt tablespoonfuls and atlr It to a consistency that aeems sensible to one skilled in the culinary art. Then you put In paprika. Eat It with head lettuce salad only." Now we submit, Robert W. Sawyer himself, could not be more meticulous, more authoritative, more seductive In laying down the laws for Onion Soup. What a man Huey could be If he would Just COOK! One of the Warner brothers was phoned his daughter would be kidnaped. No especial precau tions were taken as the threat was believed an all-talkie.

WASHINGTON LETTER By RODNEY DUTUHER (Keiilster-Guanl Washington Corresnondentl yyASHINGTON, june 13. jt j, more than about nine sumruuiiy urumracu up a nine entnusinsm over tbe work-relief program on which the New UenI Is empowered to spend four billion dollars nlus. Chief progress to date is the hiring of a new squad 01 press agents, me press agents are raring to go, out ine program itseit must get going before they ca Degin to Dallyhoo. Their present job is to cover up the general confusion. One of the top officials say that only by rare good luck can half the scheduled number of persons be moved from relief rolls to work-relief Jobs by October, but that he'd lose his job if you quoted him. Breezing merrily along, the allotments committee chairmaned by Secretary Ickes had assigned a billion dollars before it discovered that It wasn't going to have enough money to employ those 3,500,000 persons unless me type 01 approved projects was drasticallv chanced. It found projects cost per worker must be cut to $1150, whereas the cost of projects approved averaged more tnan The new policy of approving low-cost projects means a program of CWA character, though workers will all be taken from relief roils and paid less than prevailing wages wnicn wasn't the case with the old CWA. The way ideas change as to the nature of this work relief program also is indicated by the fact that Roosc velt originally imagined nearly all the money would be loaned to the stntes. One Leader II Need More than anything else, the program aeems to need a one-man administration. Roosevelt appointed Frank Walker head of division of applications and information. Walker was put in os something of a "front" to keep the pork-hunters off Roosevelt, Ickes and Hnrry Hopkins, but has taken the job seriously. Ickes was made head of on allotments committee of 20 or more members, which includes most of the New Deal a top-rank stuffed shirts. Hopkins was made head of a works progress di vision, charged with keeping the program at top speed. mis wnole Idea Is to nut people at work on muck, low- cost projects, contrasting sharply with Ickes' insistence on projects of permanent worth, usefulness and with prospects of paying some of the money back. Hopkins, Ickes At War Ickes and Hopkins are at swords' points. Ordinarily you'd expect one to team up with Walker against the other fellow. But Walker's rules and regulations have annoyed both. Hopkins seems bound to come out on top, because employment of 3,fX)O,000 demands low-cost projects in preference to Ickes' bridges, schoolhouses, dnms, power plants, and other construction jobs. The allotment committee's sudden recognition of this fact was the initial victory for Hopkins and a pain to Ickes. ' No project applications have been coming in fro: Hopkins yet. The tip-off as to what may be expected from him perhaps will come when he summons state work progress directors hero late in July. An "If" for Every Dollar The billion dollars allocated includes 1223,000,000 for CCC which finds It can't recruit 300.000 author ised new men without liberalizing reatrlctions: S.IOO, 000,000 for roads and grado crossings which can't be distributed until each state submits a complete program for spending its share; '-TiO,(K0,000 for Ickes' slum clearance and housing projects which Ickes lieuten ants ssy are seriously delayed aince real estate specti Inters were tipped off by DAI as to probable sites. Then there are $100,000,000 to army engineers for relatively slow projects: $100,000,000 for a Wisconsin program dependent 011 railing of a similar amount by the state, and enabling legislation; $10,000,000 for Maine's Passamaquoddy power project to which ob jections are heard as t oemployment prospects, feasibil ity, and partisan politics; ami $100,000,000 for Dr. Tug well's Rural Resettlement Administration inside which confusion seems to reign supreme. Roosevelt can snntch back any of this money any time he likes. Politics is getting its hooks into the program. Rut perhaps not as much as you might ex pect. It's too early to tell. Hit By Backfire University of Chicago grods gathered ammunition from government records to use against a millionaire who charged their alma mater had become a hotbed of Communist teaching. First they found the Food and Drug Administration had assessed a fine against the gentleman for a product which the administration decided wnsn t all it should have been. Then they learned that the wealthy critic was draw Ing a Spanish War pension of $10 a month from the government. Olepfully, they shipped the information nit west. AN EDITORIAL ON HEALTH By lIt. MOltKIS nSlIBKIN Kdltor, Jouri.nl of the American Medical Association, and of HyKcin, the Health MnKniine TOrU teeth hnv about ss much resistance to decay A as your body hns. In penernl, to infection. Therofc fore, lo save your teeth, or those of your child, you should tnke the name steps that you would consider in biii Mini; up your body. First, of corse, is direct treatment of the teeth by suitable, amounts of exercise for the pums and the den tition. The froien food diet of Eskimos heljw them save their teeth. Coarse food helps to scrap the sur faces of the teeth and to exercise the punis. Hut of even prenter importance is the nutrition of your body. This involves partimlarly vitamins A, C and O, and provision of sufficient calcium and phos phorus. These minerals seem to take part in the build ing up of sound bones and teeth. Most diets usually are deficient in calcium. Phos phorus is found with a fair amount of abundance in the tissue of meat and in crrs. Milk is the best source of calcium, and this includes such milk products as cheese. The important point, however, Is not so much that of get line calcium into your body, or your child's body, as it is of jrettinc this mineral in such form that It can be used by your btxiy. Apparently, tht use of en let um depends not only on the amount eaten, but on the mineral equilibrium of the body, the actions of various glands, a suitable intake of vitamins A and P. and perhaps also to some exteut the relationship of alkali to acid in the body, , The- best diet for our child, therefore, for the pre vention of dentHl decay, should include daily one quart of milk, either as milk itself or in soups, puddings, cer eals and similnr foods; at least three servinps of vcrc taRlea of which cue, like lettuce or celery, mav be raw and two cooked; at least one serving of fruits, prefer ably citrous fruits like the orange, and perhaps also another serving of cooked fruit. In addition to this, the child should have one nerv ing daily of meat, one of cereal, perhaps one egg and some bread and butter. Kvery one knows that It Is difficult to correti the liet of a child, particularly when ton are planning thnt diet for scientific purpoM'.
