I ■ THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. FRIDAY, JUNE 3, 1938 Star Dust ★ Andrea Steps Along ★ Lone Ranger Craze ★ All-Age Shaggers By Virginia Vale ANDREA LEEDS has been -Pa stepping right along since she did so well in a minor role in “Stage Door.” She went on to do well in “Goldwyn Follies,” is working now in “Letter of In troduction,” and will play oppo site Joel McCrea in a picture called, so far, “Youth Takes a Fling.” Which all goes to show that she was right when she refused to go on as just one more contract player. She felt that she wasn’t getting Andrea Leeds anywhere, you’ll remember, and got out of her contract, and all Holly wood said she was crazy, as she had just one performance to her credit at that time. And then—“Stage Door” and all the opportunity in the world! —*— The “Lone Ranger’’ craze is growing every day. The actor who plays the “Ranger’’ in the screen serial may go on a personal appear ance tour. National Broadcasting company has arranged for tran scription rights of the radio pro gram for the South, Canada and Australia—at present it’s heard on a 42-station tie-up three times a week. There’s talk of a circus stunt and of a cartoon strip for the news papers. And the country will be flooded with books, cowboy suits, chewing gum, sweaters, and all the other merchandise that can be used in profitable tie-ups. Bing Crosby Charlie Chaplin’s latest discovery, Dorothy Cummingore, has been giv en a contract by Warner Brothers, and you’ll see her first in “Three Girls on Broadway.” —*— The picture business being a bit slow at the moment, picture stars are doing quite a lot of vacationing. Miriam Hopkins and her husband, Anatole Litvak, the director, are at. her charming little house in New York. Fredric March expected to have to cut his New York vacation short, and then got word that £3 might stay on indefinitely. Made leine Carroll and Wendy Barrie are among the toasts of New York. * Bing Crosby can continue with his present radio sponsors for ten years if be wants to. It’s said the advertising agency connected would like him to sign an agreement for that length of time, with the usual year to year op tions. His present contract still has eight months to run. Of all the Hollywood folks who have gone on the air, Bing has been the most suc cessful and shows no sign of dimin ishing popularity. —*— Benny Goodman recently gave his second concert in Boston, before a packed house; as in Carnegie Hall, in New York, the first thing any body knew the younger set in the crowd was out in the aisles be ginning to “shag.” An usher hur ried forward to stop them, where upon a conservative looking, middle- aged gentleman stopped the usher. Seems he’d decided to learn the “shag” and thought that was as good a place as any to begin. * ODDS AND ENDS ... Paul Muni seem* to be all set to do “The Life of William Tell” . . .

HOUSTON GOUDISS S East sath St., New York at;. T HERE are, perhaps, more false notions concerning fats than any other class of foods. Some homemakers, considering them as “fattening” only, try to eliminate them entirely from the diet. Others have the impression that foods containing fat are difficult to digest, and for this reason deprive their families of many delicious and healthful foods. Both<$ points of view arise from ignorance of dietary facts. —★— Fats Are Necessary to Health Fats have a number of im- oortant functions to perform. They are a concentrated fuel food, having more than twice the energy value of an equal weight of protein or carbohy drate. One-half ounce of fat, that is one tablespoon, yields 100 calories, and were he able to eat it, a man could obtain an en tire day’s fuel from three-fourths of a pound of fat. It is interesting to note that it would re quire nearly eight pounds of cooked rice to give the same number of calories. In Oriental coun tries, where large populations live in great poverty, fat is usually scarce and it is necessary to con sume huge quantities of food in or der to meet the daily fuel require ments. As a result, most of the people develop distended abdo mens. —★— Children Musi Have Fat Because fat is such a compact food, nutritionists agree that for growing boys and girls, and men engaged in strenuous physical ex ercise, fat is almost essential, if they are to get enough total cal ories. There is also experimental evi dence that at least a small amount of one or more of the unsaturated fatty acids must be supplied by the food if normal nutrition is to be maintained. And two compe tent investigators found, experi mentally, that the presence of fat in the diet tends to conserve vita min B in the body. Some fats, especially those from animal sources, are rich in vita mins A and D, and fats made from vegetable oils may contaiij vitamin E. —★— Fat and Hunger Perhaps the greatest service performed by fat is its ability to give “staying power” to the diet— to satisfy hunger. In this respect, it directly affects the disposition and may influence the ability to enjoy life. The shortage of fats in European countries during the World war graphically demonstrated how a deficiency of this class of foods can destroy the morale of entire nations. With supplies cut off or very greatly curtailed, the warring countries found it necessary to ra tion fats closely. As a result, their people were always hungry and dissatisfied, even when their actual needs were satisfied. In this connection, it is interesting to note that a slice of bread and but ter or margarine will delay the onset of hunger longer than a slice of bread and jam, even though the number of calories may be the same. —★— Different Fats Compared As sources of energy, the differ ent food fats are very similar.

They include butter, margarine, lard, compounds, which are a mixture of animal fats and vegetable oils, hydrogenated fats, ang the liquid vegetable oils. Butter and margarine are used chiefly as a spread, and it is in teresting to note that the annual per capita consumption of mar garine is steadily increasing, as homemakers have discovered that the use of this less expensive prod uct releases more money for milk, fruits and vegetables. Margarine is interchangeable with butter for dressing vegetables and in doughs containing spices, fruits and choc olate. Its shortening power and keeping qualities are similar to those of butter. Lards, compounds and other shortening fats are useful not only i a means of increasing palata- bility and food value, but to add flakiness to baked foods and to produce a crisp coating which seals in the minerals and vitamins of fried foods. Lard is used chiefly as a short ening for pastry, and a good grade will be found to be white and free from objectionable odors. The highest grade, called leaf lard, is produced from the leaves of fat in the sides of the hog. When made by a reputable man ufacturer, the compounds pre pared especially for cake making, for shortening pastry and for deep-frying, are wholesome, high ly nutritious and give most satis factory results. They are a most economical form of shortening. f—k— Digestibility of Fats Because of their ability to re tard digestion somewhat and thus give satiety value to a meal, the impression has grown up that fats are "difficult” to digest. This re sults from confusing the length of time required for digestion and the completeness with which a food is digested. When “digestibility” is regard ed in the popular sense of the ease, comfort and speed with which the digestive organs carry on their work, it is conceded that fats in general retard the secretion of the Are You Girelureiglit ?

On the other hand, most fats have snch a high coefficient of digestibility, that under normal conditions only about one-twenti eth of the fat eaten escapes diges tion. Experiments indicate, for ex ample, that the coefficient of di gestibility of oleomargarine is 97.55 per cent. It is sometimes erroneously stated that pastry is indigestible. This statement is without founda tion, provided the pastry is made from a high grade shortening and is properly baked. Similarly, fried foods come in for a great deal of criticism that should not be charged to the use of fat, but to incorrect methods of cooking. If food is properly cooked in fat that has a high smoking point, there will be no opportunity for decom position products to develop. —★— How Much Fat? Nutritionists have ample evi dence that health is best served when 30 to 35 per cent of the total energy value foods is provided in the form of fat. This will include the fat of meat and the fat used in cooking the many delicious fried and baked foods which make eat ing a pleasure. Questions Answered Miss C. B. R—It is difficult to compare the iron content of meats because of variations in the amount of fat. It has been estab lished, however, that organ meats, as liver and kidneys, contain more iron than muscle meats, and that pork and lamb contain much less iron than beef. Mr. F. K. C.—Answering your query as to whether pineapple juice possesses special properties as a laxative—all fruit juices con tain fruit acids, which tend to have a stimulating effect upon the entire digestive tract. However, the pulp of any fruit is far more effective than the juice in provid ing normal elimination. Mrs. M. L., Jr. — Dandelion greens make an excellent food. They contain more phosphorus than any other common leafy vegetable, and supply vitamins A, B, C and G. Mrs. N. H. R.—As to whether a tendency to overweight is inher ited: the body bnild is inherited. That is, some individuals tend to be short and stocky; others are tall and slender. However, there is no reason why the stocky indi vidual should allow himself to be come obese. Frequently, a condi tion that is blamed on inheritance can be traced to faulty habits of diet, exercise and sleep, passed from one generation to another. C WNU—C.
