In the United Su.ua, aa wtU aa Id other countries, cheeae gnt good re turns for your money, for (ha food value Is very high. It has, in concen trated form, moat of the constituents of the milk from which It is- made (some aro removed with the whey). Five ounces of cheddar cheese, for example, furnish most of the nutri tive values of 1 quart of whole milk. Some other cheeses, of course, such aa cottage cheese, are less concentra -i ted. In other words, at current city prices of cr-?ese and milk, a third of a pound of cheddar cheese, costing x 8 oi 9 cents, would give you most of the same food values you would get in a quart of milk at 12 or 13 cents. And you can use It tn differ ent waya for those In the family who do not drink milk, as the Bureau of Home Economics of the U. 8. Depart ment of Agriculture points out. According to the dt'ry authorities ! of the U. 8. Department of Agrlcul- j ture, there are probably 13 distinct varieties of cheese differing In tex ture and flavor according to process of manufacture and the molds or other organisms used to "ripen" the cheese and there are more than 400 names for these varieties. We make many varieties, and we make much more cheese than we Import. Some kinds that we mane are strictly Amer ican. But the principal one, our plain ; "American cheese" Is really the Eng- lish cheddar cheese, which gets Its name from the village of Cheddar In Somersetshire, England, where It was first made long ago. More than 400,000,000 pounds were made In the . United States last year, and that Is J less than usual. j Cheddar cheese ccmes from the factory sometl nes In a so-called "Cheddar" size which Is 14 to 10 Inches in diameter weighing only 30 to AO pounds; "Daisies, " which are 13 Inches In diameter and weigh 20 pounds; "Young Americas," 8 Inches In diameter and weighing 8 to 12 pounds; "Long Horns,"5 inches di ameter weighing 12 pounds; and "Squares," which are usually 3 or 4 Inches thick and weigh 10 pounds.. From these the grocer sllcea off the pound or half or quarter aa desired. But this was never too convenient a method of merchandising, and ' nowadays, thanks to the Bureau of Dairy Industry of the U. 8. Depart ment of Agriculture, a new method has been found and cheddar cheese la on the market In cans 12 ounce and 5-pound cans. The green cheese la packed In the can to cure normal ly, without rind or waste. Cheddar cheese la made from sweet milk, usually whole milk, and If eklmmed or partly skimmed milk la used the cheese must be so labeled. Cheeses of the kind that are regu larly made of skim milk, however, do not require such a label cottage cheese, for Instance. Swiss cheese, or Emmenthaler, first made In the Swiss Canton of Em ' menthal, Is made in many factories In this country, especially In Wiscon sin, New York and Ohio. Swiss cheeses are very large weighing 150 to 200 pounds, usually In the shape of mill stones 3 feet In diameter and 6 to 10 Inched thick, which are shipped In tubs that may contain 800 or 900 pounds. Sometimes, however, they are In 25 to 28 pound blocks. The cheese Is made with rennet, from whole or partly skimmed milk. We make and sell "Domestic Swiss," but until recently we have not been able to reproduce all the characteristics of the Imported Swiss cheese. Ours lacked the holes, or "eyes," and the Swiss flavor, both of which are dui to the activities of certain bacteria growing In the curd, on the press, and In the curing room. The Bureau of Dairy Industry de veloped a method of Introducing these bacteria are pure culture starters Into the kettle milk and con trolling the manufacturing process to produce both the characteristic Swlas cheese flavor and the holes. Now. ln , atead of Importing half the 8wlw cheese vn use, we Import only ft fourth. We also make our own Llmburgr, a whole milk cheese made with ren net. The name comes from the Bel gian town of Limburg. where this cheese was first made. And now make cow's milk Roquefort in con siderable quantities (the PYench la made of sheep! milk), also a iwque fort cream spread which has a grow ing popularity. The Bureau of Dairy Industry has found a way to market Roquefort cheese In cans also. We Import Camembert from France, and Parmesan, Orogonzola and Ro man cheese from Italy. Strictly Amer ican rhewofl are "brick.' pineapple. -,htch Is similar o chsdder but mold ed in pineapple shape, and Liedtr krantr. which is rather like Camem bert In flavor.

Now, however, under a ! heavy Internal revenue tax, not much "filled" cheese Is manufactured. Cheese, especially cheddar cheese, may easily be used to furnish the main protein dish for a meal, or even for the day. for cheese Is one fourth protein. It Is at the same time, like milk, an excellent source of calcium. In quantity, however. It is often best to use cheese very fine ly flaked or grated and mixed with breadcrumbs, or with other foods making It more readily digestible. Also, when you must economize, a little cheese can be used not only to add flavor, but to "complete" the proteins of vegetables in soups, or chowders, or stews, or scalloped dishes. Potatoes wnn cheese sauce; creamed cabbage with grated cheese; tomatoes and macaroni cooked with flaked cheese; rice and cheese; creamed spinach with cheese; corn, cheese and tomatoes on toast; pep pers stuffed with cheese stuffing all Jhese are combinations that as sure good protein values along with other values, Including calcium and vitamin A particularly. Cheese bis cuits, muffins, and gingerbread, brown betty with cheese, baked ap ples with cheese, besides, of course, Welsh rabbit, cheese fondus, "Eng lish monkey," creamed cheese on toast, or cheese omelet, are other uses of cheese to make meals both appetizing an3 nutritious.

Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS IP human nature and the way It worka Interests you, you should read this extract from the winter wheat forecast of the departmant of agriculture: "The acreage seeded to winter wheat in the United Rtates In the fall of 1934, for harvest In 1935, Is estimated at 44,306.000 acres. This Is 8 9 per cent MORE than the acre age In the fall oi 1933 and 3.8 per cent more than In 1932." 1IHEAT prices are HIGHER this TV fall. So, In spite of AAA and all Its acreage reduction schemes, Amer ican farmers are SEEDING MORE ACRES to wheat. 'pHE law of supply and demand 1 says: "As the supply increases, the price tends to go down." The price goes down because there are more buyers than sellers. THE law of "supply . and demand says: "As the price goes below cost of production, the supply tends to decrease." That la true because when people find they can no longer produce at a profit they QUIT PRODUCINO. THE law of supply and demand says "As the price Increases, the supply ALSO tends to Increase." That la because when people find they can again produce at a profit they PRODUCE MORE. 1AN-MADE laws can monkey with 11 the law of supply and demand, and sometimes, for a little while, they may seem to affect It. But, In the LONG RUN, man-made laws can no more affect the law of supply ard demand than King Can ute could keep the tide from coming In. "pHE appellate division of the New t York supreme court holds that nudism Is not lewd, and therefore la not punishable. Correct, In this writer's humble opinion. Nudism Is Just plain SILLY, and is practiced by cranks who have n't quite all their marbles. CRANKS, In the supposedly civil ized countries, practice nudism because going without clothes Is UN CONVENTION A Ir Among savages In the hot climates, the aame kind of cranks put on clothes, because there PUTTTNO ON clothes Is unconventional. The motive Is the acme In both casea. WHY do cranka like tc be uncon ventional? Well, that question Isn't any too easy to answer, but probably It la because they want to be noticed, to stand out a little from the crowd, and haven't brains enough to get themselves noticed In any other way. T ALONE FURNISHING EGGS Frog Eggs, Fish Eggs, Sea Bird Eggs, Are Sought Lobsters' and Oysters Most Prolific Producers WASHINGTON, D, C (Special) Eggs" mean only hens' egga to the average reader something to com bine with ham in the. morning or to stir Into cakes or custards for dinner. But, In the complex civilisation of thd twentieth century, man finds us for many kinds of esss. A New York muasum did a thriv ing business not long ago in ews of frogn and salamanders." says a bulle tin from the Washington. D. C. head- quarters of the National Geographic iety. "Jelly -encased frogs' eggs lound floating In great numbers on top of Long Island ponds were ship ped by thousands to public schools. where biology pupils put them in tanks and watched them develop Into tadpoles. The scarcer eggs of salamanders, found In stream bottoms, wera ship ped to research laboratories where scientists prefer them to other eggs in making certain studies of the em bryo. Chinese Eat "Rlpenetv' fcSgs "Roe, masses of tiny fish eggs, and caviar, the prepared and salted roe of certain fish, are favorite delicacies on our menu. The best caviar waa long made from the great white stur geons of Russia. Present-day caviar, lacking the fine flavor of the origi nal, Is often made from roe of spoon bills, buffalo fish and catfish of lakes and rivers In the southern United States. 'Pish eggs are put to various uses. In Brittany, fishermen use salted cod eggs mixed with flour as bait to at tract aardines. American sugar com panies In Mexico have recently Im ported certain insect eggs from Cuba In their fight to exterminate other insects attacking sugar cane. And In the past the United Statea Depart ment of Agriculture haa made many simitar Importations. 'Cormorants eggs from the Islands off the oast of Fern form a large item on the diet of Peruvians. Eski mos eat quantities of sea birds' eggs. In Nicaragua, hungry natives dig in the sand for alligator eggs, which con tain large yolka, and are aald to taste like ducke' eggs. In Mexico, eggu of certain species of flics are used In making a food paste which is consid ered a piece de resistance. A pref erence equally difficult to under stand Is the Chinese predilection for 'ripened eggs hens' eggs which have been burled In the earth until decom posed to a decided degree. Penguins Carry Eggs on Feet "Humans are not the only crea tures with a developed state for eggs, Ants and -spiders lick their chops over oggs of butterflies. Ftshea gulp mi nute eggs of other fish borne on ocean currents. Unless Peruvians get there first, they are apt to find rook eries on the bird islands of Peru full of rifled nests and broken eggshells. The email greenish cormorant eggs have been devoured by gulls and tur key vultures or pierced and oucked by condors. Birds with few enemies lay out one or two egga. Most of the north oceanic birds, such as little auks, and black-and-white guillemots, which breed on Arctic cliff ledges, lay but a single large egg. Pointed at one end, it rolls in a circle and ao doea not fall from the ledge. The king penguin of the Antarctic takea espe cial care of its egg by carrying it about on top of its foot, protected by a fold of skin. The male anp re male relieve each other at this task Robbed of lte egg, a king penguin may sometimes be seen attempting to-ihuffle about with a atone on its instep. "Aalde from the echidna, the only mammal that lays eggs la the re markable duck-billed platypus which lives In the streams of Australia and Tasmania. I combine beaverlike fur and habits with webbed feet and bill similar to a duck's, and lays two eggs, each three-fourths of an inch long, encased In a flexible white ahell. ! "Gams birds, which are frequently preyed upon, rear large broods. Some quails lay aa many aa 30 eggs for s setting. However, quails take a back seat compared to marine creatures, which, because of their many ene mies, must lay eggs by the millions in order for the race to even hold its own. A cod lays about o.OOQ.oyo eggs, I a sturgeon about 7,000,000, a lurbot about 14.311,000; but to greatly are the young preyed upon, tliat only a sma'.l proportion will survive to maturity. A Sea Solid With Fish 'A lobster 'In berry' will carry about glued to the under surface of her body like clusters of berries, anywhere from 3000 to 73.000 eggs. Perhaps one egg In 6000 will mature. A single female oyster will spawn aa many as 60,000, 000 egga In a season. Of the slight few of these that hatch into 'spat. only a handful will develop into adult oysters. A mother oyster may be considered lucky If she raises suc cessfully one out of ten million chil dren. This ruthless destruction has Its advantages, for If every egg In the sea matured, the sea would soon be come a solid, squirminj mass of fish and marine crentures. Eggs vary as greatly as people in color, size, and shspe. Exception to the rule that all domestic fowl lay ovoid, white or brownish eggs, la the Aiaurana. a strange South American fowl which lays blue eggs. Eggs laid In holes or domed nests are usually white. Colored eggs, Invisible in dim light, would be tn danger of btlng broken or rolling out of reach. Al though puffins lay their colored eggs in holes, they cover the sheila with a chalky Incrustation which reflects light. Eggs of many fishes floating at the sea surface, in masses some times 30 feet long, are transparent, which probably hinders their being detected and eaten. The sheila of kingfisher eggs are translucent, these of some snails eggs are slightly Iridescent. "The shapes of eggs present an In teresting variety. Plovers lay pear- shaped egga, while owls and titmice lay spherical ones. Those of sand- gruuae are shaped somewhat like cap sules: those of grebes are pointed at both ends. The generally soft shells of most ltzarda stretch to a'Commo date the growing embryo Eggs of certain shell-bearing slugs are so elastic that If dropped on stone they rebound sevetal Inches. "Birds' eggs vary In size from the tiny white ones of the humming bird to the large one of the ostrich. The ostrich egg Is small compared to the egg laid by the now extinct Aepyor nls. Measuring 0 by 13 Inches, a single Aepyornls egg would make an omelet for a giant. Drifting sands In Madagascar have uncovered severe.! eggs of thla bird which la supposed to be the prototype of the roc in the Arabian Nights. Eggs of the- extinct great auk sre even more valuable than those of the Aepyornli. A col lector paid nearly (1,300 for a single one."

(AP) Salem ex perienced springlike weather Sunday as the high winds of the past few days died down, rainfall stopped com pletely and the temperature dropped only to 40 degrees. The sun was In evidence most of the day. Yesterday's lack of rain followed a heavy two-day precipitation which totaled 3 38 Inches here snd resulted In the basement flooding of a num ber of homes In the southeast section of the city. Several families' were forced to move temporarily, but it was reported thla morning that all had safely returned. The Willamette river after rising to the 13-foot mark yesterday, had fal len to 13.8 feet thla morning. 4 , WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.

At a press conference, Representa tive Byrns of Tennessee, who will be the next speaker, reiterated his "per sonal opinion" that the bonus Issue should be settled soon. He declined to commit himself on the proposals that have been ad vanced, but said he had "heard some talk of paying It by installments. Many Plans Loom "When the session begins, there will be half a dozen or more propo sitions submitted." Byrns said, "I would not suegest that proper com mittee consideration should not he given, but I see no reason 'to dey the thing until May. "If the committee reports at all, I think It should be given a rule (legislative right-of-way) and be brought to a vote." Some leaders on Capitol Hill aald they considered the presldmt'a action a serious obstacle to the bonus move ment but others were quick to em phasize that Mr. Roosevelt did not close the door to all compromise. Would Settle Now Representative duller of Arkansas, democratic member of the waya and means commltteo which doubtless will handle any bonus legislation, said he was in favor of "disposing of the Issue now," but -aid he was not sure yet Just how it should be done in installment payments or other wise.

Reid's Statement Indicates Bright Future for Matte WASHINGTON. Dec. 31. Wm. Raid. advisor of the pan-American Union and an expert on the subject of for eign trade, predicts a bright future for Matte Imported Into the United States. A United Press reporter Interviewed Mr. Raid recently and obtained in teresting facta regarding Matte. Mr. Reld stated that for the past few weeks tha Pan-American Union has been receiving many requesta tor In formation regarding Matte consump tion in the following South American countries: Brazil, Argentine, Paraguay and Uruguay. A few years ago Mr. Reld visited the Matte producing regions of South America and later wrote a book on Matte, which was widely distributed by the Pan-American Union. Mr. Reld believes that Matte can substi tute tea. but that It will not greatly affect the use of coffee In the United States. He Is of the opinion that Brazil and other Matte producing countries of South America can sup ply sufficient quantitlea of Matte to satisfy the American demand. Dr. Albert Hale, for many years a The public works department of the CWA Is busy making a survey for flood control of Brar Creek parkway, on the section between the south city limits and the southern boun dary of the fair grounds, according to City Superintendent Fed Scheffel. The men working on the project are speeding the work In order to get the water In the flood channels, ao that development of the parkway can be started. There have been workers laboring on the wet Ion within the city limits for a year and a half, ac cording to Scheffel, and It Is esti mated that 500 men could be kept busy for two years on the developing and finishing work. The development of this parkway. along with the work now being done on the Roxy Anne project, la expected to give Med ford one of tha most beautiful park systems on the west coast, those In authority have announced.
