Potato Merits Special
Attention in Preparing
By the Bureau of Home Economics,
U. S. Department of Agriculture.
Dont acop with baked, boiled or
tried potato. . Serve them In other
wayi, the bureau of home economic
suggests to the homemakers of tihe
country. Potatoes probably are served
more frequently than any other vege
table, so instead of being treated with
little consideration, they deserve spec
lal attention, the bureau's export in
food preparation say.
"The potato has svery good reason
for holding the enviable position It
does," said Dr. Florence B. King, chief
of the food utilization division of the
bureau. -
"It is a good and satisfying food
with a flavor that Is midway between
delicate and strong. The flavor is
pronounced enough to permit of
serving the potato without the addi
tion of any outside flavoring, aside
from seasoning, and yet It Is not so
decided as to cause anyone to dislike
this Inexpensive vegetable, all of
which make potatoes valuable In the
low cost dietary.
'rFrom the standpoint of food value
potatoes have much to offer vita
mins, mineral salte and energy-giving
materials. Their mineral salts sup
ply the necessary alkaline substances
in the diet to balance the acid-ionn
Ing substances of meat, cereals and
eggs. And not the least of all, Is the
energy-giving value potatoes possess,
Many persons designate the potato
as the "Irish potato," whiih would
seem to Indicate its origin In the
Emerald Islo. Quite t othe contrary,
the potato is native to the western
plateau of South America. The in
vading Spaniards took the tuber back
to Spain, whence it gradually was in
troduced tc the world, until now it
Is one of the vegetables most univer
sally grown. Not untfl the last cen
tury and a half, however, has It been
so important, .Prejudice against
new food, together with the first ways
of cooking It, retarded its adoption In
th diet. Boast potatoes steeped in
wine, baked with marrow and spices
or sweet preserves limited Its use for
s long time.
One outstanding fact to the po
tato's credit, after it achieved Its
notable position in agriculture,
that with one exception It prevented
the terrible periodic famines of for
mer ages in Europe, In times of
stress, particularly, the potato has
come to lead In the diet. Since Ire
land has used them so generously, the
' mlinnmitr -"Irlnh notntna" mto-ht
erenoe for them In plenty and in
need. It is an old Irish custom to
five a bowl of boiled potatoes to all
who stop and ask for food much as
sandwich Is offered here In the
United States,
The name potato Is also misap
plied to other vegetables as in the
ass of the Canada potato, which Is
not a potato at all, but the Jeru
salem artichoke, the tuber of a species
of sunflower native to North Amer-
a yam.
Germany Is a great potato growing
country, hi fact the greatest of all,
but oddly enough other foods are
more readily associated with the Oer
mass than are potatoes. This year
ttM potato crop in the United States
Is estimated at 371.000,000 bushels,
practically all of which will be used
tar xood, uermany convert much ox
her crop into starch and alcohol.
. One can not always tell a' good
poiara ay cne ouwae -appearance,
Doctor King points out. One which
hows a green skin will taste bitter
when cooked, she says, for it has
grown too close to the surface and
has been sunburned. The. wisest
course for the homemaker is to choose
medlum-elned potatoes that feel firm
When pressed in the hand. Dry, mealy
potatoes are best for mashing and
baking, and the more waxy varieties
are most suitable for salad and
reaming since they will hold their
shape.
The bureau suggests many ways for
serving notatoes in addition to . he
usual ones. Among these are soup;
potatoes combined with meat or fish
for one-dish meals; as one vegetable
In combinations that Include toma
toes, cheese, onions, peppers; and in
salads. Left-over mashed potatoes
are especially good in corn meal muf
fins, chocolate cake and doughnuts.
Many potato recipes are Included

Home and Tax Claim
Millions Made by Marland

i-
' . By Wllllum Volgt, it.
PONOA CITY, Okla. (AP) A fw
ymrs ago an oil millionaire now a
man faolng comparative want.
Such U ttae oaae of B. W. Marland,
founder dl tbe Marland oil company
only alz yeara ago valued at more
than 188,000,000.
Encompaaaed by all the vlatble
aymbola . of , wealth and beholding
from hli wlndowa a mighty lndua
trial project whloh he fathered, Mar
land, -according to publlahed reporta,
haa only bla palatial home and an
Income tax refund claim left. The
home he built three yeara ago at a
coat of a million dollars.
The tax refund 'Olalm may bring
him nothing. Bhould It be allowed
It might return to him 1 .900,000 of
the fortune he onoe poaieased.
Acroaa the prairie from hla man
sion, Marland can view the broad
acree of the Industrial holdings he
onoe controlled. Down a carefully
landscaped avenue he can aee the
herolo figure of the "Pioneer Worn-
" the statue which he gave to
Oklahoma In March, 1030. It ooat
him 1100.000.
All that la left of Marland'a once
numerous millions haa passed Into
the hands of William R. McFadden.
formerly an employe of the oil man.
In return for assuming obligations
totaling taso.000. -
Marland, now ST, was a brilliant
student In youth and obtained a law
degree at 18. Two yeara of law In
hla native state of Pennsylvania were
followed by IS yeara aa an oil man
there.
He came to Oklahoma In 1013 and
In 14 years had built from virtually
the ground up one of the southweat'e
largest fortunes and controlled a vast
business empire.
In 1030 by obtaining the mineral
concession to a 8,000,000-acre tract
In Sonora, Mexloo, he turned one of
the largest oil deals In the annals
of the industry, Hla projects ex
panded and In 1630 he had holdings
In Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico,
California, Louisiana,-. Kansas, Colo
rado, Canada, Mexico and England.
The next year saw the beginning
of the decline. The Marland Oil
financial report showed a deficit of
more than (7,680,000, and In October,
1038, Marland retired from active
control of the oompany.
It waa prior to this unexpected
turn of events that Marland and
Miss Lydle Miller Roberts, his first
wife's niece and hla ward, were mar
ried. . The first Mrs. Marland, an
Invalid, had died in June, 1036,
Whether Marland will try to "beat
back" to hla former place In the
world of commerce Is uncertain. It
la hinted he may attempt to dispose
of the home and, eventually estab
lishing hie claim against the govern
ment, retire from active acquisition
of wealth to Uve on the remains of
Ma once broad holdings.

Fall's Gift Of Fruit and Vegetables
Makes Guest Luncheon Easy To Plan
By Mrs. Alexander George
Nature's contribution of delicious
fruits and vegetables and beautiful
flowers makes the fall season an
Ideal time to entertcin a few Inti
mate friends at luncheon.
The luncheon menu can easily be
planned since there are so many
foods in the markets and because
the cooler weather calls for new and
tempting recipes.
The 'vivid fall colorings demand
somewhat colorful table arrange
ments. The- colored table cloths
make effective settings for the gaily
flowered china, popular now, and the
foods themselves lend much to the
artistic display.
A bowl of fall fruits makes a suit
able decoration for the center of the
table and the fruit makes an appro
priate dessert if the hostess so de
sires. Small cakes or cookies should ac
company the fruit and with coffee
and salted nuts a most satisfactory
and quickly prepared dessert is served.

Seventy graduates of secondary
schools, who are not more than 21
years old and who do not meet the
set entrance requirements of the
university, will be selected for the
test, which will begin this fall, Dr.
Frank C. Touton, vice president, said.
"Students In the experimental
group will not be permitted at any
time In their college careers to com

may not be pledged to a fraternity or
sorority.
Specifically the object of the ex
periment is "to measure validity of
tests of scholastic aptitude and of
high school grades as entrance cri

The TRUTH
ABOUT BRAN
With so many opinion) about bran, it is well to know
the facta. Here are the results of laboratory tests
with bran:
Bran is a good source of Vitamin B. This vitamin
helps tone up the intestines and keep them regular.
Bran also supplies "bulk" which further aids intes
tinal action. The "bulk" in bran is much like the
"bulk" you eat in lettuce or other leafy vegetables.
This "bulk" absorbs moisture like a soft sponge
and gently cleanses the intestines of wastes. Bran
also brings the body needed iron for the blood. '
A pleasant, safe bran cereal is Kellogg's All-Bran.
Millions of people have used it with satisfactory results
over a period of ten years.
Two tablespoonfuls daily of this delicious ready-to-eat
cereal are usually sufficient to prevent and relieve
both temporary and recurring constipation. If you
suffer from intestinal trouble not re
lieved this way, consult your doctor.
Kellogg's All-Bran has a wonder
ful nut-sweet flavor. Enjoy with milk
or cream, or use in cooking. Sold
by grocers. Made by Kellogg in
Battle Creek.
