TRIED ANY JU JUBES? i-- S I "i A Ju Jube branch with the ripe fruit ready for picking. If desired dry in many climates it may be allowed to stay on the tree where it will dry of its own accord. FOOD AUTHORITIES SAY< THAT THIS NEW FOOD I PRODUCT IS TASTY By NANCY LYNDON HE Chinese are very very clever. You would agree if you tasted one of their ju jube confections. For thousands of years, the Chi nese have been enjoying this tasty nut-like product and have said little about it. American food experts recommend it both for a food and for a new plant product that can be cultivated almost anywhere within the United States. It seems that the ju jube is also a hardy food plant. One scientist who has experimented with it says that “it stands more neglect that any other of the Oriental fruits and seems to thrive in dooryards in which the son is packed down until almost as hard as bricks.” The Far Eastern people have de veloped many plants that served both for food and for other practical pur poses. The ju jube is one of them. It grows to tree-like proportions, :— ■ - .. makes a good trimmed hedge, and produces a fruit that can be made into excellent confections. This rounded fruit is prepared by scoring or puncturing and cooking it in a syrup. The scoring is done either with knives or punches. This is in orjler to permit the syrup to seep in. The fruit can be handled thus either fresh or dried. The fresh fruit has a milder taste but the peo ple of the Orient are not particular, eating it in either form as convenient. When dried, the ju jubes keep well. Uncle Sam says of this fruit, that the American people will come to appreciate it when they have been told about it. “The immediate future of the ju jube will be a useful spare time fruit that can be grown in every home or orchard, thus contributing to the variety of fruits by adding one that is highly nutritious, delicately flavored, and an abundant and sure producer.” Ju jubes, it seems, can be used in cake, in fillings, in batter puddings, with oatmeal, in mince meat, as sweet pickles ani. as butter. Housewives always on the alert for the new, will probably soon be tell ing us to go to the store and buy the rightly labeled brand of the new ju jubes. _ - "BAFFLING MURDERS" j H . I BEGINNING SOON IHE COLLINS MURDER CASE I By BROWNING STREAT Clever Detective Story Writer This is another Thriller in the Illustrated feature section Exclusive Detective-Murder Series! __-_ OOKS OF IlSTERE in the ILLUSTRATED FEATURE SECTION LIBRARY “The Twelve Men Good and True” who Send People to Death _ ny me BooKer IRTEEN MEN,” by Tiffany Thayer. Published by Claude Kendall, New York City. 321 pp. Price *2.50. By far the most original book in the last decade is. at best, an inade quate description of Tiffany Thayer’s racy and gory novel. The very first line of the story begins, '‘This is the damndest book you ever read.” The rest of the book easily proves this line to be correct. Very coolly within the first five or si pages, the author moves the reader breathlessly through 8 or 10 murders as though the reader himself were a pawn, an inanimate chessman. The newspapers throughout the na tion headline the strange and ap parently well planned murders of a host of legally innocent people. All of the victims are found with bullet holes in the middle of their fore heads. Thirtv-eight human beings are killed before the story is well under way._ Yet. the novel is clearly not a de tective story. For immediately after tl -j author chronicles the thirty eighth murder, he launches into the analysis of lives of the "twelve men good and true" who are to sit in judg ment on the confessed killer. The character delineation is most intrigu ing and wTitten with such an inti mately sophisticated style that the reader is reallv carried on through th' book without realizing how thoroughly absorbed he is in its strange and naked rhythm. Most murder tales are solved from the point of view of the detective an 1 the elusive criminal. But here we have an entirely different point of view'. The author gives us a jury, am a series of gruesome murders in reverse order: then he gives the con fession of the criminal. But, strange ly enough, even after the confession, it is plainly apparent that the very candor of the perpetrator is so astonishingly convincing that the Should A Woman Marry A Cold Man? 1——------ | Have you a puzzling love affair on which you need friendly ad- j Tice? Write to Julia Jerome, care of this newspaper. If you wish a personal reply please send a stamped, self-addressed envelope. A woman of New York City asks us a uertinent question this week. My dear Mrs. Jerome: I am thirty years old and en gaged to be married to a man in Detroit. Uo to three months ago I considered myself very fortu nate to have a man like Jim wanting to marry me. Jim is a lawyer and well off. and I am a working girl. I have been work-* ing since I was fifteen, and I thought I was very tired of it and ready to have a good man take care of me. But three months ago I changed jobs and at my new job I have rapidly gained promotion. My new boss seems very interested in me and it thrills me just to have 'him look at me. Jim is the cold athletic type of man and his kiss es are like a brother’s. Last night Jim phoned me and wanted me to come at once and marry him. It appalls me to think of tying myself to him forever, and yet, perhaps, it would be best for me. What do you think? NEARLY MARRIED. I do not advise you to go. Marriage, to be successful, must have a physi cal as well as a spiritual side. If Jim does not thrill you now, he probably never will. Whereas, a husband can train a wife in the art of love, a wife cannot train a husband. His masculine ego tism gets in the way. A man thinks he naturally knows more than a woman and resents any inference that he doesn’t. I believe that you were only con sidering marriage for economic rea sons. and that now with a better job MALARIA?

POINTS TO REMEMBER Among the things every one might well remember are: That your watch needs cleaning once a year. That it should be inspected by the jeweler every six months. That water is not good for the movement. That shocks and jars to your watch should be avoided. That the watch should be wound up regularly, preferably each morn ing at the same time. That the watch should be kept in an upright position. That it should be used as a time piece and not for a hammer or paperweight. That a watch with ordinary care will last indefinitely. * * + * Devoted Mrs. Once—“Was your first hus band devoted to you?” Mrs. Twice—“He surely was.

Off._ jury of twelve good and true citizens cannot perform their plain and ob vious “legal” duty. It is an amazingly real dilemma. The very simplicity of the climax befuddles the reader ana challenges a knowledge of inde pendent modernistic ideas to fully understand its unmoral significance. The book provides an excellent in sight into how verdicts are arrived at by supposedly "good and true” men. Jurors are human, and are really less true and good than the judicial system would have the day men believe. It can always be relied upon that the verdicts of juries, the judgments of courts as well as the conduct of the parties are all direct ly affected by the background and environment of the persons them selves. Jury service and long, black judicial robes do not transform men into saints whose edicts are ipso facto infallibly just. The book is startlingly unusual an its entertainment is bolstered by gc -d hard lifd. To read it is to live, to see. and to understand, real facts. The penetrating searching and frank style of the author alone is worth t' e price of the work. Novels like “Thirteen Men” are sel dom published and ought not to be missed by the book-loving public.
