Accenting the Width Of a Narrow Room By KI TII WYKTII SI'KARS QN A Thursday afternoon tlic south end of a certain dining room was as shown here in the j upper sketch. The following Mon day it appeared as shown below. | Cupboards had been added to dis- ; play china and give storage space, yet the room actually seemed wid- j er and more spacious than before. The transformation was made by the handy man with no tools but a hammer, saw and screw driver plus the aid of his willing helpei with needle, thread and paint brush. The now curtain treatment, shown in the sketch, made the window seem wider and the strong horizontal lines of the cupboards also helped to create an illusion of width.

Household News MIDWINTER MENUS (See Recipes Below) You may have a mental filing system for your menus, or you may jot down your meal ideas and slip them into a recipe box. Either way, the chances are that mid-winter finds you in the market for some f r i. 11 nnH wnrkahto ideas for what to feed the family. First and foremost, you will want your winter menus to be warming and heartening. The calorie con tent may be a little higher be cause more ener gy is needed to supply heat and because the cold stimulates us to more activity. Vi tamin suppliers need to be care fully watched. With your garden adrift with snow, not so many fresh vegetables and fruits will find their way to your table. Even if fresh peas, green beans and vine-ripened tomatoes are out of reach, almost any market boasts whole bins filled with apples, sweet potatoes, cabbage and carrots?all of them potent sources of vitamins. Plenty of grapefruit, oranges and tomato juice will help to replace the fresh tomatoes. But now for the menus! Two are dinners?one built around a fragrant, red-brown dish of Hungarian gou lash served with plenty of hot but tered noodles; the other, sausages baked under a covering of York shire pudding.

FARM BI'RE Al' CHIEF CHIDES ROOSEVELT The President's chat with Ed O'Neal, soft-spoken head of the American Farm Bureau federation, was not as harmonious as the im pression given when he emerged beaming from the White House. On foreign policy the two men saw eye to eye, but it was quite different on the farm question. O'Neal bluntly chided Roosevelt for not giv ing more consideration to agricul tural interests in the defense pro gram. "We've been hearing how business wil> prosper and the rights of labor will be protected," O'Neal said. "You've had plenty to say about this in your speeches, but you've been silent on the farm ques tion as related to national defense." "Maybe that's because I have no complaint against the farmers," said Roosevelt, in effect. "Well, wc have a complaint against you," shot back O'Neal, with no trace of jocularity. "All this bickering and indecision in con gress about farm legislation to be submitted at this session is due chiefly to the administration's fail ure to agree on steps that should be taken." O'Neal had no real success in urging on the President the Farm Bureau's plan for government loans up to 85 per cent of parity .in basic crops to keep production up to de mand. (Parity loans now range from 52 to 75 per cent.) Acreage control benefits, plus the loan guar antee, he contended, would enable farmers to get full parity, while "dumping" on government ware houses of cotton and wheat sur pluses could be stopped by the im position of penalties for overproduc tion. This plan was a compromise, [ O'Neal told Roosevelt, between the present loan program and the proc essing (sales) tax proposal of the Republican-backed income certifi cate plan. Roosevelt agreed that farm prices would have to be jacked up and pro duction restricted, but demurred at appropriating more funds for parity loans. He argued that the vast defense expenditures would boost crop prices automatically. But this line of reasoning did not per suade O'Neal. "Mr. President," he said with a grin, "I'm telling you now that we're going to demand full parity from this congress. Our convention in Baltimore approved the plan I have outlined to you and we won't rest until we get it." ? ? ? U. S. FAR BEHIND EUROPE IN PLANES' PROTECTIVE ARMOR One hushed-up sore spot in the dragging plane program is in armor protection?a field that, like so many other aviation developments, origi nated in the United States but was left to others to exploit. Armor-plate protection for fighting planes first saw the light of day in the Nicaraguan campaign against the rebel General Sandino during the Coolidge administration. To pro tect themselves against snipers lurk ing in the jungle, marine corps pi lots equipped the undersides of their ships with makeshift armor guards. Although crude, this protection saved more than one pilot's life. But beyond this start, the army and navy did almost nothing. And it re mained for the alert Nazis to devel op the idea, just as they did the Stuka dive bombers which originat ed with the U. S. navy. As a result Nazi planes are among the best pro tected in the world. Simultaneously, the Nazis began increasing the caliber of their air plane guns in order to offset enemy armor plating. Belatedly England turned to armor protection and heavier guns, but we did nothing regarding armor and very little re garding guns?until recently. As a result, the United States is now up against a double bottleneck. One is limited technical experience on how to armor planes without diminishing speed and maneuvera bility. Two is lack of plant facilities to produce a light-weight, bullet resistant armor. BRONZE KINGFISH Hucy Long has returned to the halls of congress. A seven-foot bronze statue of the late "Kingfish" has been placed in Statuary hall oi the Capitol between two other noted figures, William Jen nings Bryan and the elder Sen. Rob ert M. LaFollette. Long's statue is covered with an American flag and will be formally unveiled at a cere mony sometime this month. The work of Charles Keck, Brook lyn sculptor, the statue took several years to complete and cost $15,000. Gem* of Thought Wc few, we happy few, wc band of brothers. ? Shake speare.
