MORRIS FISHBEIN Behind the Scenes in Washington ha co Many of us can remember the time when such food as oranges, cranberries, grapefruit, and pineapple were almost unknown in the average diet. One of the greatest improvements in the diet has been the addition of such substances, mads possible principally by improvment in transportation and shipping.

The refrigerator car. rapid travel by truck, and similar developments make possible the wide use of products which formerly were limited to local consumption simply because of the likelihood of decay during transportation. The contribution of various fruits to the averase diet deoend on tha Or. FtshbelB manner in which the fruit is used and, of course, varies with the Individual fruit product concerned.

A sweeping tfled to suggest constructive nor Earle to act now on the anthracite Industry nvestieation by men qual-iction is imperative. Fur ther delay will only serve to complicate a situation which tltally concerns residents of the anthracite fields, employed and unemployed miners included, as well as the mine operators. Matters should not be permitted to drift on as they have, steadily advancing to a point where an already Stricken Industry may be irreparably damaged. The voice of the people concerned must be raised in protest The state must heed the protest and its officials go into action.

Political and other forms of partisanship must be submerged for a time until the major problem of the anthracite fields is solved. And it can be solved, to some extent at least, If approached In the proper manner. is not enough for the mine operators to rout the bootleggers, nor for the bootleggers to fight back Nor will the problems of the Industry be solved by the Joint conference of miners and operators in New York. For any permanent good to be accomplished, the problem will have to be attacked at its roots, and that important third party the public taken Into consideration. But if the public wants to be considered, leaders in the mining communities must act now They must demand that the state, through a qualified commission, examine our chief industry.

Then they must follow through and see thai something Is actually accomplished.

Stone is the youngest and most vigorous member of the court's liberal bloc His personality and his forceful dissenting opinions have made him a candidate for the mantle of the beloved late Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Holmes never became chief Justice, but Stone is only 83 and some of those who have Roosevelt's confidence are sure the President will elevate him to that post if he ever gets the chance. Hughes is 74. beyond happy. Justice Louis Brandels. although in spirl'ual kinship with the New Deal a 79 and hardly likely to succeed Hughes If it falls to Roosevelt to choose a successor He's Tireless Worker Outstanding among Stone's distinctions: His sheer physical strength and energy match those of Justice Owen Roberts on the conservative side.

He is willing to take on 'he work of writing the most Important dissents and' to lead In the hot Infighting at court conferences which precede decisions. Stone is not in sympathy with much of the New Deal Appoint by Coolidge and a close personal friend of Herbert Hoover, he Is a Republican. But he Is a fighting champion for a liberal Interpretation of the constitution and the rights of congress to legislate as against opinions Influenced by personal, political or economic bias. If Hoover were to be reelected, Stone undoubtedly would return to his old place In the Hoover "medicine ball cabinet." For a supreme court Justice, Stone's background is unusually diversified. He started out as a teacher of law and got into the habit of Judging without the service in corporation law to which most Justices have been largely confined.

He left his post as dean of Columbia university law school to Join the big firm of Sullivan St Cromwell, where he had a chance to learn the tricks of Wall street. Finally he served as attorney general in the cabinet. Personally. Stone probably is the court's most popular member. He "gets around" more than any other Justice and has a strong sense of humor.

40 to 50 Foolish Age "What do you think sre the years of maturity?" Congresswoman Isabella Oreenway of Arizona asked Justice Stone. "Maturity comes between 30 and SO," he replied. "But how about the years between 40 and 50?" "Those, I am afraid, are the years of indiscretion." Hush on Air Crash Probe A lend is still floating around to the effect that the crash of an American Airlines plane in Arkansas, which killed 17 persons resulted when a dope fiend, who had taken out. heavy insurance just before the flight, suddenly murdered the pilot. Although this fantastic version wasn't mentioned in the bureau of air commerce's report, which officially declared the tragedy a mystery, the report conspicuously omitted mention of certain evidence which aided the bulld-up of the theory, and orders have been issued requiring that pilot compartments be locked and passengers barred therefrom.

Several phials of morphine were found in the wreckage. A hole which some thought probably had been made by a bullet fired Inside the plane was also discovered in a piece of metal. The wreckage also turned up an unidentified revolver. Then there was the aforementioned rumor that a passenger had been financially embarrassed and had taken out a large amount of insur- The official report, although admitting the possibility among others of an Interference with the pilot, neither explained nor mentioned any of those discoveries. The rigid department of commerce censorship has resisted efforts to obtain more light on the results of the A Book a Day By BRUCE CATTON Boake Carter has been telling the radio audience about the day's news for a number of years.

Fruits generally are quite digestible. The ease of digestion depends on the nature of the fruit and Its degree of ripeness. A raw, ripe apple passes from the stomach about three hours and 10 minutes after it is eaten. A green apple takes longer. The excess acid present In unripe fruit may produce irritation and is sometimes tha cause of colic.

When fruits are cooked, the fibrous material is softened and they become more easily edible. Cooking, however, will lessen greatly the value of many of the import-ant indreglents. The odors and flavors of fruits are due to small quantities of flavor substances, in many instances difficult to reproduce, Occasionally it is possible, however to make artificial fruit flavors which are difficult to distinguish from the natural substance. Fruits contain a high percentage of water. Meat fruits tend to have an alkaline end result In the body, ths exception being prunes, plums and cranberries.

Today's Health Question A. I have been using a much-advertised 00M cream to cleanse my face, and a vanishing cream as a base for powder. I find that my pores sre becoming enlarged. Is it because of the use of vanishing cream? Would it be better to use a good facial soap and some kind of base for powder to cleanse my face? A. In general, it is not advisable te use toilet preparation with a greasy base, when there is any tendency toward enlargement of the pores.

Washing the face with water and soap, preferably not a "medicated" variety, is a better method of cleaning it. Any satisfactory powder may be used, but no greasy base should be employed. Little Benny By LEE PAPE Today in school Miss Kitty was telling us about what a grate thing it is to realize our blessings, saying, No matter how unfortunate a person is, if they are Just a little fillosophical they realize that they have certain consolations, or as they are sometimes called, compensations. A blind man, for instants, develops the senses of touch and hearing to a remarkable degree and derives a i much greater pleasure and sattisfaction from them than he otherwise ever would. Now I wonder how many of 1 you can give me an example of compensation? she saidi Wich Shorty Judge waved his hand, saying, There I was a man and he used tfi worry a lot about everything, till suddenly he lost his job and didn't have any more money so he didn't have to worry any more about I whether there was holes in his pockits.

It's untidy to have holes in your pockits even if there's nothing to fall through, so I'd call that a doubtful compensation, anyone elts? Miss Kitty said. Wich Raymin Levy waved his hand, saying, Once a man axsldently had his whole nose cut off, but he didnt care much because he had the compensation of not being able to catch a cold any more. I'm afraid your nollege of fizzeology isn't very trustworthy, whose next? Miss Kitty said. Being me, saying, Once a man got cawt to a flood but he was a ehampeen swimmer so he would of saved i his life perfeck If trees and things floating passed hadn't of kept hitting him on the head, and his last thawt was a smile because his mother had always warned him not i to waist all his time trying to be a grate swimmer so he had the compensation of knowing that fellows mothers I are genrelly always pritty near rite. my, I think we'll terminate the subject with that pritty touch of sentiment, Miss Kitty said.

For once he was right. And, for once, an author didn't let a trusting reader down. It IS a good book. And the Browser says this, even though he is well aware that a considerable number of readers may call it a lying, warped and prejudiced novel. That can't be helped; because Ayn Rand has written a story around human beings who are caught up in the whirlwind of a revolution and if she believes that the wickedest, the toughest, the most unscrupulous men and women succeed in a revolution at the expense of those who are less self- St Maslln minded, less well equipped with claws and fangs it is her privilege to set that conviction down on paper as long as she makes her story consistent with her human beings and gives reality to her characters.

Read this book and the Browser believes you will remember the girl Kira and the two men Andrei and Leo for many a year to come. Miss Rand Is a Russian. She was born In Petrograd, was graduated from the University of Petro-grad (and her description of that city, in "We the Living," is a masterpiece. She came to America to write, went to The first senario she wrote was "Red Dawn." for Mar.ene Dietrich. The first play she ever wrote was "The Night of January 16." It ran for more than seven months in New York, is now playing in Vienna and is in rehearsal in Budapest.

Her first novel was "We the Living." and she sold that immediately. Not a sweet book, but one that will move deeply all who care about the fate of the human race. Gertrude Atherton cuts up In "Golden Peacock." has a good time. She worked diligently on the background of Rome in the time of Augustus, Virgil, Horace and Maecenas and then decided to tell her tale of murder, love and conspiracy In the words of a sixteen-year-old hot-headed, stubborn, impetuous, love girl of Rome.

Do you wonder there are so many bachelors in And one more: "Finally she said what a bore it was to be married, and what a relief It was when one's husband went off to the wars, and war had been woman's best friend, for it was the constant wars in which Rome had been engaged for so many years that had given women their freedom: the men had been away for so long at a time, often fer years, that women had got used to freedom and having things their own way, and the men, now that the world was almost peaceful, had given up trying to rule their wives as they used to in the old days." The Browser has not quite decided about giving this book to his young daughter to read. He thinks he will not, however: she has enough ideas already.

By GEORGE ROSS NEW YORK By a Higher Pre -Arrangement, perhaps, they presented "The Great Ziegfeld" to Broadway on the night that Marilyn Miller died. It was not the World Premiere, with gaudy, flashing I fanfare; but a preview for Broadway's gentlefolk of "Zlggy's" era and of Marilyn Miller's, too.

They had I come to this screening in a deeply sentimental frame of mind. For many of the audience knew "Ziggy" if only to say "hello" and there were a few who knew him well. I And so, the evening promised poignant memories; and an impressive monument of montage to "The Great Glorifyer." The evening fulfilled the pledge. Zlegfeld's fabulous life more fabulous career was depicted there, grandly and lavishly, in a talking picture; in as stunning a film as Hollywood ever delivered. Gaily and gallantly, I raced William Powell, as "Zlggy," through his earlier life's episodes from Sandow, the Strong Man, to Anna Held, the Milk Bath beauty from failure to Broadway's highest pinnacle.

The next sequences follow swiftly. A flash of electric light on a theatre marquee reveals "Sally" as a sensational success and its star as the toast and belle of New York.

While, not a mile away from this celluloid episode of 1 personal triumph, Marilyn Miller, the "Sally" of Florenz I Ziegfeld's proud discovery, was forever in repose. Among Those Present That preview, incidentally, was witnessed by numerous of "Ziggy's" employes, among them, "Goldie" or as she has never managed to have herself called Mathilde Oolden. She had been Mr. Ziegfeld's secretary for more than a decade and was first christened "Goldie" by him.

As the story goes, she was sent for by the gTeat showman one afternoon and asked for her name. "Mathilde Oolden," she replied in full. "My God!" Mr. Ziegfeld exclaimed, "you can't call anybody Mathilde. From now on, you're 'Goldie' to me and everybody else.

She knew his whims, moods, eccentricities, impulses probably better than any other of his faithful hirelings. It was she who arranged the profusions of flowers in his inner sanctum daily and it was she who was in charge of his huge herd of jade and Ivory elephants, indispensable luck charms, with their trunks turned up. It was she also who bore messages from Marilyn Miller to Mr. Ziegfeld, and from Mr. Ziegfeld to Miss Miller, during their temperamental outbursts.
