In tho American dnlly diet. Last year consumption averaged 3420 calorics. From 1935 to 1039 It averaged 3250. Nutritionists say tho average, adult doing ordinary work needs about 3400 calorics dnlly.

Krug Offers Shasta Power SACRAMENTO, Calif., March UP) A federal offer to relieve Cali fornia's drought-born power crisis was received today.- But Governor Warren was not sure that the offer, as worded, could help matters. Secretary of Interior J. A. Krug telegraphed Warren that the U. S. bureau of reclamation would make available to the state additional power soon to be generated at Shasta dam. Warren said he does not believe Uie secretary waived Uie require ment in the law that public agencies should have preference In use of publicly generated power. Pacific Gas and Electric company and the reclamation bureau have been at odds over the signing of a contract for distribution of the new power to be obtained from two ad ditional generators at Shasta. .

Both said death resulted frcm the fractures, brain lacerations and hemorrhage, and all say that Uiey found no evidence of any cal cium deficiency or other abnormal ity in Larson's bone structure which might lead to severe fracture from a light blow. That may indicate an anticipated lino of defense. H. C. Merryman and W. Lamar Townsend, Fetters' attorneys, have questioned prosecu tion witnesses only perfunctorily, District Attorney Clarence A. Humble may rest the state's case this afternoon. Members of the trial Jury Include Sam Mushen, J. S. Swansen, Bertha Teed, Mike P. Lavenlk Jr., Maxlne Cameron, J. R.
