Corps and tae Patriotic Society of Corunna have been obliged to vacate the rooms—in the southeast c o r n e r -t o provide a place for other needed and important departments of the county government.

Acting Prosecuting Attorney, Jas. Miner, Saturday morning, gave to Supervisor A. F. Bridegroom, of Owosso, chairman of toe buildings and grounds committee, an opinion that the ladies have no legal right to the occupancy of the place, and fur­ther, that the action of the Board of Supervisors in 1904, when they dedi­cated the two rooms to the Shia­wassee County Battalion of Civil War Veterans, the WRC and other pat­r i o t s bodies, is not binding upon the present board, and at this time the board has the power and authority t o take possession of the rooms.

As a consequence, |b« building committee is providing space for the organizations m the aewrj ereet-«*;iSxttmsion <bViidtn& across the street couth, from the court house and jail.

At the June session of the Board that body, by the vote a t 18 to 4 , adopt** a resolution jiuawUad by tha building and grounds canarifciaa, asking tha ladias to racat*. Tba bmfld f a * committee consists of Supervisors Biidagroom, T. & Harriet, of Shia-w i n i i , and Hugh Aaws, of New Havaa.

Tha saaawittss t a v t oat tha (a-forsnatioa that the county is now pay-* ing $66 per month for quarters in an Owoaso building, to house the Old Age Assistance bureau, and that this money can b e saved by moving that board to the court haoee.

It i* stated that it is realiy much more practical for the Old Age Bern-fit Bureau to be on the ground floor. Many of the older beneficaries have difficulty in climbing to a second floor, and it is the belief that that particular department should be on the ground floor.

Further, it is proposed by the build­ing and grounds committee to provide a large case for the proper display of their flags and other mementos, and in every way make the new quar­ters of the societies a very attractive s n d convenient place.

After which the following numbers were given:

He said that the diagnosis of physicians in 1821 •that-Napoleon, fit St. Helena, had died of cancer inherited from his fa­ther was a "political diagnosis" by oflxiais who were unwilling to admit that the island had an unhealthy j clirv.jttc.

{Mote Swan, Once Eaten, | Now Hat Royal Tradition

The mute swan, Cygnus afar, has ;• royal tradition. The species is said to have been introduced into

'England from Cyprus by King Rich­ard Coeur-de-Lion on his return from one of the Crusades; In Henry VU's (feign the theft of swans* eggs Was (punishable with a fine and a year's 'imprisonment. To this day the kin e> iof England shares with the ancient Vintners and Dyers' companies the ownership of all the many swans on the Thames river. The swannery at Cookham, near Windsor, belongs to the king, and it is thence that George V and Edward v m sent presents of swans to both Canada and South Africa.

Queen Victoria used to send every member of the royal family a pres­ent of a cygnet or young swan on New Year's day, but mute swans are not now regarded as table birds. In the past, however, the mute swan was highly esteemed as food, and accounts of banquets show that numbers of the great birds—full grown, they weigh between 24 and 40 pounds—were dished.

Five Sleep Inducers for The War Public to Try

Thought control (to induce sleep) varies all the way from counting sheep to the more esoteric forms of autophynosis, research shows. All schemes are methods of limiting consciousness. Each of the follow­ing plans has its adherents:

I—Listening to imaginary drops of rain falling on an imaginary tin ?oof (said to be better than counting sheep because it requires less men­tal effort).

2—Assigning names to each letter of the alphabet. A is for Albert, B is for Benjamin/etc. (Or take ani­mals, fish, names of countries, any­thing you like.)

3—Painting large imaginary 3s ex­tremely slowly on a large black wall •yith an imaginary brush and an imaginary tin of imaginary white paint. (This one is cited on the authority of an eminent psycholo­gist, who is of the opinion mat any­body who paints three of the 3s in this very slow manner will find it virtually impossible to keep awake.)

4—Repeated religious formulas or mantras. (For those who are ill at ease or unaccustomed to//move in this sphere, the age-old; Buddhist formula, "Om mani padme hum," has been found efficnious in lifting the mind out of its preoccupations).

5—Reciting nonsense verses slow­ly, over and over. (Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky" or Edward Lear's limericks will come in handy here.)

Traveler's Tree for Thirsty People Madagascar, erroneously called

the land of the man-eating tree, is in truth the land of the tree-drinking man.

British soldiers landing on the big French island off southeast Africa will find no carnivorous vegetation larger than the pitoher plant. This shrub, four feet high, bears jug-shaped, water-filled pitchers in which it traps and digests unwary insects.

What the exploring Britons will en­joy is the Traveler's Tree, a life-saver for the thirsty.

Efficient Tractor Operation To operate a tr>t.cor at full load

costs only one-eighth more than at half load, but twice as much work is accomplished. The only notice­able difference in full-load operating costs is increased fuel consumption. Other costs, including labor, depre­ciation and maintenance, remain al­most the same. Farmers who are pressed for labor this year can woll keep this in mind. Pulling more than one implement at a time and operating at higher speeds are two ways to keep the tractor well loaded.

If Yon Get a Vacation To prevent week-end .raffic oon

gestion, Joseph B. Eastman, direc­tor of defense transportation, urged vacationists to do their traveling during the middle of the week when­ever possible. At the same time, Mr Eastman said that vacations should be staggered throughout the year instead of.being concentrated during the summer months.

Despite a shortage of labor and higher . operating,"'costs, Michigan farms are enjoying a year of pros­perity. But low-price years ar© com­ing.

Rains have been abundant this summer. Prices rose 30 per cent dur­ing 1941, and they have continued on an upward trend in 1942.

Lend-lease for food are creating a sustained demand. War has upset the normal balance of supply and demand.

It's an abnormal situation. Better j plan accordingly.

I Farm management during the war, as summarized above, is the theme of a study recently made by the Michi­gan State College agricultural experi_ ment station. J. C. Doneth and K, T. Wright of the farm management sec­tion, the authors, offer some inter­esting suggestions for a "Food for Victory" program that will contri­bute to the government's war pro­gram and at the same time will avoid some of the pitfalls of a post-war depression.

"No doubt there will continue to be a shortage of farm labor," they report "Yet it & possible for many farmers to increase their labor ef­ficiency 20 to 25 per cent. This would be desirable during period* of high, average or low farm prices, but it is especially desirable when wages are high, as it is at present time."

Better #rt>or efficiency may be obtained by the following practices.

1. Increase the size of business. Rent more land. Increase crop yields through use of lime and fertilizers. Improve production of livestock by better feeding, more feed, stricter -culling and better stock. Clear or drain land. Keep more livestock. Grow more intensive crops.

2. P'nn enterprises and work bet­ter. This will effect more eve& labor distribution througbtout the week and the year.

3. U»e well-established machinery. Exchange labor with a neighbor. Use livestock to harvest crop whenever possible.

4. Study the farm and building layout—Changes can sometimes be j made to »ave labor.

Machinery means power, when' prices and wages are rising, "farmers with the most machinery make the highest farm earnings;" the experi­ment station reports.

In depression or low-price years the farmer with the most machinery suffers the greatest loss|^ Thus, while farmers are justified in spend­ing to,buy badly needed new machin­ery and in making needed repairs, they should guard against becoming over-mechanized because 'there will be a day*."

The mechanized Michigan farm must make wid^ use of its machin­ery "to keep down the cost per hour of u*e." Eefore investing in new machinery,) farmers are urged (to consider the size of business, topo­graphy of their farms, and the farm layout itself.

"Buyng good second-hand equip­ment often pays, if there is not too much work to be done.

Co-operative purchase and use of farm machinery is also recommended as a means oi assuring a low pro­duction cost.

When farm prices »re high, make needed repairs or improvements in the. farm plant, in another recom­mendation. They will enable effici­ent operation for several years dur-a. period of low prices.

"Remodeling of buildings now be­ing fully used is sometimes the most economical procedure. Unused barn space can be made into cow stables, or the upstairs of an old building might be made into a poultry house, j Dairy barns and poultry houses should ! not exceed the value of the animal's houses/' {

i

Low income years are comintr. just | as surely as the nig-ht follows the ;

flay. ' 1 The eoliege study recommends

making "hay while the sun sh;nes" with regard to today's increased farm ; income. j

''Surplus funds, which may devel­op a? a result of higher farm prices* might well be used for the following , purposes: j

1. Reduction of debt obligations, particularly those of a lon^-term na­ture, j

2. Purchase of defense saving bonds. !

3./Providing for the education of, the cl ildren, j

"These would build up the reserve i for low-income years and tend to reduce farm overhead expenses."

Give Window Screens A Thorough Washing

In order to get the jump on flies and mosquitoes, window screens and screen doors should be put up before the first flying insect makes its appearance. Windows that are to be. screened should be washed inside and out beforehand, because it is usually impossible to wash them comfortably again while the screens are up.

The screens, too, should be cleansed before being fastened into place. Even though they, were brushed and washed before storing, there will be enough dust on them, to make a scrubbing necessary, Spraying with a garden hose will remove only a little cl the winter dust, and more thorough methods should be employed.

Fill a large pail with warm sudsy water, and use a scrub brush on the wire mesh. Rinse with a sponge dipped in clear warm water, or with a hose. Then repeat the proc* ess on the other side of each screen. Let dry in the sun and wind.

If the cleaning must be done in­doors, use the basement laundry tubs or the bathtub, but in that case spread an old sheet or other large cloth on the bottom of the tub to prevent scratching the porcelain surface.

Screens should be scrubbed before either the mesh or the frame is re­painted.

Homemakers Ate Urged to Save Their Cooking Fats

Housewives are urged to save all used cookujg fat in order to turn this fat into explosives for use by

\M United Nations.. Fats make glycerin and glycerin

makes explosives. Millions of pounds of glycerin are needed, and house­wives can help supply it.

Homemakers are advised to-get all cooking good from the fats first Then strain them and pour the fats into a clean wide-mouthed can, but not a glass container. Store the fats in a refrigerator or a cool dark place until you have collected at least one pound.

When housewives have a pound take it to the meat dealer who is co-operating in this drive. He win weigh the can of fat, pay the estab­lished price for it, and start it on its way to the war industries.

Don't let the fats stand so long that they become rancid. Once they become rancid the glycerin content is reduced. Do not take the fats to the meat dealer on week-ends if it can be avoided. Help him by bring* ing them in early in the week.

Insects Create Fire Hazards Insect outbreaks in forests are

sometimes of more importance be­cause of the fire menace they cre­ate than because of the value of the timber killed, says the U. S. department of agriculture. When destructive outbreaks of insects de­velop in forest types composed chief­ly, of one species of tree, a high per­centage of the stand may be de­stroyed. These standing dead trees go down in the course of a few years making an almost impenetrable tan­gle of logs and tops. Under proper conditions,. says the forest service, a flash of lightning may set off the mass, resulting in a widespread con­flagration almost impossible to Sght. Past experience has shown that epi­demics of the mountain pine beetle in lodgepole often have been fol­lowed by destructive fires.

Tree Forecasts Monsoon In lower Burma, the natives place

great faith in the "forecaster" tree —the Padauk, which blossoms three tunes in as many weeks. With the first sudden golden yellow blossoms, the natives begin to "think"' of find­ing palm leaves to re-inforce the roofs of their huts against the com­ing torrents. With the second blos­soming, they make certain there is an available supply. But with the third flowering, there is a frenzied rush of every native to his roof with his arms full of palm leaves. Strangely, and almost invariably, within two days after the third warn­ing blossoming, thunderstorms, hail­stones, and a great rush of rain whips inland from the sea. Rivers rise within a few hours and much of lower Burma becomes a steaming swampland.

. Wooden 'Sawbucks' Wooden scrip money has been

used in different sections of the United States from time to time for short emergency periods. For ex--ample, the chamber of commerce et Tenino, Wash., in 1932 issued wooden scrip in denominations of $10, $5, $1, 50 and 25 cents. The business people of the town agreed to accept the scrip at face value. This money was issued in order to thaw out. frozen assets held in in-volvent banks. The United States government has never issuod wood­en money.

Insulation Means Low Upkeep Low-cost housing, like automo­

biles, must be appraised in the light of not merely first cost but upkeep cost as well. A furnace tender who tossed every third shovelful of coal into the ashcan would lose his job promptly, but the effect is the same when homes continue year after year to pour out heat, through un­insulated roofs and walls. Siieath-iiig on roof and outer walls, which keeps the cold air out and the warm air in, will pay for its original cost within a few years.

CONG. CRAWFORD HIGHLY COMMENDED

The News is very much pleased to publish the following excellent story of our own Congressman Fred Craw­ford, published in a recent issue oi the Detroit Free Press. The story was written by the Free Press staff writer in Washington, D. C.

At the beginning of this series we pointed out that the best Congress­men come from the small communi­ties, wrhile some of the most useles members are sent to the Capital from the metropolitan areas.

This particularly true of Rep. Fred L. Crawford, of the Eighth Michigan District. His home town is Saginaw, which probably will resent being re­ferred to a s a small community. We know of no more conscientious mem­ber of the House than is the Repub­lican Crawford, and neither do we fc»ow cf a member who displays greater knowledge of the needs of this district in the Saginaw. Valley-

While the minority members have not been so influential in recent years, Crawford ha s -succeeded in winning legislation designed to help ning legislation desiged to help- the farmers on numerous occasions. He is interested keenly in the problems of the sugar beet producers, of which there are thousands in Michigan and, if he had his way when the Depart-

CAPITOL THEA

logic in his voting, particularly on the farm legislation.

Crawford is a man of serious de­meanor, spends little time on the social ljfe of the Capital, He has made friends e**Uy on both sides of the House and is highly respected by the opposition on the committees upon which he serves. The interests pf his district are always paramount in Crawford's conduct here and his constituents grt good service from his office,

Crawford started out as an ac­countant, training with a n English firm, and is a fiend for figures, He has also studied political economy at the University of Michigan and is well informed on all political mat­ters. He was a successful business­man before coming to Congress and is today a director of three corpora­tions in his home city. These include the Refiners Transport & Terminal Corp., the Michigan National Bank and the Petroleum Transit Co. Crawford i? 54 years old and a nat­ive of Texas. He has engaged in financing building and operating sug­ar mills i n several sections of the United States. Business men from the state know Crawford as an under­standing representative to whom they can take theit problems with the knowledge that they will receive ser­ious consideration.

The representative from Saginaw is seeking his fifth term. His district has invariably gone Republican, al­though he has had some stiff opposi­tion. He is married and has one-son.

To get back to another question. How effective is the representaXfTc? We feel that Rep- Crawford is one of the most effective men sent here from Michigan.

Meat dealers have asked that the i' ff-.it- not. he brought i'o them, on week­end.-, when they are busy with regul­ar retail trade. Instead, the fat should bc'takcn.to the meat dealer earlier in the week, in quantities not less than a pound.

The salvage fat should be free of mtia»i scraps and should not he carried to the meat dealer in glass containers because breakage would involve dan­ger {o the handler and the glass frag­ments would be difficult to take out of the grease. Clean, wide-mouthofr cans such rs coffee cans make good rcv:optacles for storing and carrying the fats to market.

A few cents a pound will be paid to the housewives by the meat dealer, who handles the fat at cost in pass-

j ing the collection along to the render-ing firms.

ment of Agriculture wasv s e e i n g to destroy this industry, there would be no necessity for rationing today.

This is a n important indu-try in Crawford's district and he has con­sistently fought to protect it. No vote of his has been recorded in fa­vor of the Administration's policy, through the years when Henry A. Wallace headed agriculture, of sac­rificing the beet farmem at home in favor of the off-shore producers of the island possessions and Cuba.;

Crawford is an unassuming type of legislator as evidenced by the bio-1

graphical sketch prepared for, the Congresionaj Directory. Jt is the J briefest in the book, merely giving his party and his postoffice address.: But he represents close to 300,000 people and. judging by the successes he has. stored at the polls wfypn the Democrats were romping home in most parts of the country, would in­dicate that he serves his constituents satisfactorily.

Crawford spends much time watch­ing over agricultural bills. He prob­ably knows as much about legislation designed to assist the farmers as any other member. But he is not a member of the committee which deals with these problems. He can discuss with authority any phase of agriculture and related Industries, such as rail and truck transportation. Re follows all legislation closely and is usually in attendance in the Hause, excepting when attending committee meetings.

Crawford is a member of the pow­erful Banking and Currency Com­mittee, which will draft most of the legisIation to prevent inflation. To this end Crawford has given a great deal of study to economics, domestic and international. The ranking min­ority member of this committee is Michigan's Jess Wclcott, but Craw­ford is thii-d down the line. He is probably well in Hne for the chair­manship of this committee should the Republicans get control of the House as Wi Jcott, because of senior. :ty would probably sefck some other committee chairmanship.

Voters are asking how /„he in-c'r.b^nts voted on the major legis-Iation advanced prior to America's entrance into the war. The answer in'the case of Rep. Crawford-is that he voted against every measure ad-vaired -by IG e Administration on he grounds that lend-lease, the arm-ng of Guam, the arming of merchant^

men, the draft act, the measure to 'voost (he army aircraft, all before Pearl Harbor, would lead to war. Af-,er Pearl Harbor he voted against -.ho Price Control Act, on the grounds •.hat it was too much power to grant 'o any one man.

On tho Smith anti-labor bill, so-railed, Crawford voted affirmatively as he did on the resolut'On to con­tinue the investigations of the Dies committee. He has during his eight years been consistently anti-adminis­tration. But since the War started he has not been recorded as opposing the appropiation hills advocated by the president. In fact, he has staunch, ly gone along with the w»r program since Pear) Harbor. At no time would Crawford be considered as an ob­structionist There has usually been

PAUL ROOD GIVES ADVICE ON

WHEAT

Reasonable reduction of wheat acreage in Michigan makes logic, but any wheat grown ought to pro­duce efficiently a high yield, asserts Paul Rood, soils extension specialist at Michigan State College.

He points to the huge national wheat stockpile, but also reminds producers that wheat has become one of the standard livestock and poultry feed? in the state. Regardless of acreage, he maintains, 30 bushels of wheat should be produced o n one acre, not on two.

"Only land well suited should be planted to wheat," says Mr. Rood. "High yields are gained by early and Jskillful seedbed preparati<m, good seed* varieties, dust treating of seed for disease control and not planting without fertilizer."

Nitrogen will not be contained in commercial fertilizers for 1942 wheat plantings. But nitrogen is available in farm manure. One load of manure an acre supplies as much nitrogen as is normally applied by nitrogen fertilizers.

Manure should he applied and worked into the seedbed before plan­ting, Rood suggests. Then the pho­sphate and potash fortilizier mixture should bft applied through the fert­ilizer distributors of the grain drill in liberal amounts as the wheat is seeded.

Wheat growers f/'eustomed to iving 300 pounds an acre of an 0-20-20 analysis may be able to purchase only a lower araiysis as 0-19-12. The answer. Rood says, is to apply 500 pounds of the 0-12-12 to get the same amount of plant food an acre.

For heavy soils the commercial fertilizer recommendations suggest IS or 2^ 'per cent superphosphate •with or without manure for nitrogen. For light soils such as sands or sandy loams, growers should use 0-20-20 preferably with manure for nitrogen. Winter and early spring topdressiog of wheat fields with manure is re­commended especially on th^ sandy-textured soils. M

Sociologist Advises on Courtship by Youths

Young people will probably make wiser choices of marriage partners if they date many different persons of the opposite sex rather than con­fine themselves to one too early in the dating period.

This is the opinion of Dr. M, E. John, associate professor of rural sociology at the Pennsylvania State college, who spoke before a town and country pastors' meeting here.

His subject was "Preparation for Marriage."

"Wide acqua in tancesh ips with young people of the opposite sex help to educate the emotions and enable adolescents to discover their preferences," Dr. John said.

He cited studies showing that fac­tors of a successful marriage in­clude long acquaintance, a moder­ately long engagement, approval by the parents of both, the happiness of both sets of parents in their own marriage, wholesome adolescent re­lationships with parents, and mod­erate fondness for social activity.

In addition, both families should come from the same economic lev­el, both young people should, have relatively the same amount of edu­cation, and there should not be too wide a gap in their ages.

Present-day hindrances to a whole­some courtship include too strong an attachment to parents and choos­ing a partner for wealth or social position rather than compatibility, Dr. John added.

Furthermore, today's courtships must often be carried on in the en­vironment of coirjmercialired "thrill-selling" recreation. A s * * result, courtship has become too much of a recreatkLkl activity, and many young people expect impossible per­fection of marriage. Parents are sometimes at faujt hy trying to choose the partner for their chil­dren.

Discusses Four Basic Nscds for Happiness

Four ways to promote human hap­piness in spite of the war were de­scribed by Dr. M. E. John, as­sociate professor of rural sociology at the Pennsylvania State college,

Four basic desires must be satis­fied if people are to be happy, in either wartime or normal times, Dr. John said. They are (1) the desire for recognition, (2> the desire to ex­plain one's relationship to his en­vironment, (3) satisfaction of physi­ological needs, and (4) affectionate family relationships.

"War does not change these needs in people," he said. "It merely changes -the way we, mee t them. Where customary activities are thwarted, substitutes must be found."

Families whose sons have gone to war, for example, should substitute increased participation in communi­ty activities for interrupted family relationships, he suggested. Civilian defense projects and work in organ­ized charities will prevent loneliness and self-pity. " Furthermore, Nin group activities

many people will develop'unsuspect­ed talents and receive the recogni--

tk>n they need to be happy. The need for physical stamina in

wartime steps up the attention given to health and nutrition problexris and thus contributes to the sum total of human happiness, Dr. John added. Communities who want .contented citizens must provide sanitation and adequate housing for them.

2 Giant Sassafras Trees Preserved in Entirety

Two mammoth sassafras trees, among the largest in the country, which have stood as sentinels on route 20 since the settling of the Western Reserve, have been pre­served in their entirety by the Ohio department of highways. **

In a recent reconstruction, widen­ing and paving of this highway spe­cial orders were given by Hal G. Sours, state director of highways, that every precaution he taken to preserve these two tree*, which stand Just west of North Madison Corners on the north side of the roed.

Sassafras trees of the size of these two monarch* are rare, says the Columbus Dispatch. Seldom are they found with trunks that meas­ure 4 4 feet in diameter, as do these.

Being so close to the highway, this regal pair necessitated special grading treatment as well as a modification of the grade of the pavement itself, so they would not be disturbed.

The highway department even constructed a stone retaining wall to protect the exposed roots of the trees to tike east, which is above the new grade of the road.

Farm Lumber Needs Farmers can now order construc­

tion lumber for their farm storage and packing needs, as provided in an air.ieridment to the WPB lumber-freezing order. Sales may be made to any person for use in the con­struction or repair of buildings for storage of agricultural products and for packing, boxing and shipping such products, provided that a signed compliance statement ac­companies the order. This not only permits farmers to obtain lumber, but al**> makes it possible for deal­ers to use farmer-signed statements to obtain lumber from mills. In addition to this provision, certain kinds of cut lumber not now being used for war purposes are available for farm use.

It This sin Example of Nature Making an Error?

One of the finds of the Smithsonian institution expedition which spent the summer exploring ancient de­posits in Montana was the fossil­ized skeleton of a bird-footed dino­saur. This creature, according to Charles W. Gilmore, leader of the expedition, left a track which, ex­cept for its size, was strikingly like that fit a present-day bird.

Living 120 miihon years ago this animal represents one of Nature's attempts to alter her monsters of that age to enable them to endure the changing conditions on earth. The bird-dinosaur weighed less than a ton. Unlike some of the heavier members of the family whose legs would barely support their great weight it possessed speed which enabled it to escape many dan­gers to which the large slow crea­tures fell prey.

Of course Nature went farther in the bird direction and created flying reptiles with a 20-foot wingspread. These are known to us as pterodac­tyls. They proved, however, to be one of Nature's mistakes. Neither I flying nor walking well they were j entirely unfitted to live in the ho*- ( t ik suiToundings in which they found themselves.

Army, Too, Conserves On Rubber With Horse*

d r Dobbin's comeback as a re­sult of the rubber shortage took a new spurt with the anno'incement by the war department that it is re­placing more than 1,500 administra­tive motor vehicles with, animal-drawn vehicles .at army posts, caraps, and stations throughout the country.

The first phase of this new step in the army's campaign to conserve rubber and other materials classi­fied as "critical" resulted in the re­placement of 580 trucks at 47 posts by the Quartermaster corps, serv­ices of supply. This group alone is expected to save approximately 121,300 pounds of rubber a year, with the entire program saving approxi­mately 315,000 pounds a year.

Vehicles to be replaced are of the administrative type, used mostly for intra-camp jobs such as collecting trash, ashes a,nd garbage and haul­ing freight and coal. Most of them are of l*4-ton capacity.

Prior to issuance of the order, a siirvey was made of existing stable and forage facilities. These are be­ing put to immediate use, with new facilities planned as the program expands.

Because of the mechanization of cavalry, an ample, supply of horses is ava&abie. Some of these former cavalry mounts are being reclassi­fied as light draft animals. Horses, mules, wagons and harnesses are being supplied by the quartermaster corps.

The Task of Presenting Arthritis Is a Big One

Correction of living habits, proper diet and removal of foci of infection do not always result in disappear­ance of pain or other symptoms in the joints in cases of arthritis, ac­cording to Dr. Maurice F . Lautman.

"Perhaps one of the greatest dif­ficulties encountered in successfully preventing disease is the human tendency to gamble with health," the author says. ''Too much reli­ance is placed on the hope that na­ture, if not interfered with, will take care of everything. This belief as far as arthritis is concerned is, un­fortunately, frequently disastrous. It is quite true that the individual who is threatened with arthritis has his work cut out for him.

"The task of preventing arthritis is not an easy one to be sure, but one has only to contemplate the countless persons who are disabled or hopelessly crippled to realize that as far as arthritis is concerned, the ounce of prevention will be worth tons of cure,"

High School Stvdent* to Farm Farmers of central grain belt

states, faced with a shortage of la­bor for July and August harvests, are watching with interest an ex­periment in Washington state involv­ing use of junior and senior high school students in tending and har­vesting truck garden, berry and oth­er crops which contribute heavily to th«f fopo* reservoir of this important defense industry area. The van­guard of thousands Of workers need­ed at the peak of the harvest al­ready are in the fields—recruits from schools throughout the state under a state-wide "Food for Vic­tory" program. In the Seattle and Tacoma areas, representatives of schools, the Parent-Teacher associa­tion and the U. S: employment serv­ice have been marshaling for some time the potential farm labor ca­pacity of high schools.

The program is necessary, accord­ing to the American Municipal asso­ciation, because migrant laborers no longer are available, military serv­ice and war industries have taken many farm workers and the Japa­nese evacuation has taken many others.

Sup Me a Fag, Bad In recent weeks Mrs. J. R. Cas­

sibry, camp hostess at Keesler Field Miss., has been carrying a handy pack of cigarettes whenever she vis­its the public relations office at the camp. She learned a lesson not long ago. Mrs. Cassibry was sitting in the office one day, minding her own business, when one of the re­porters on the camp paper, sitting across the room, turned from his typewriter, glanced her way and shouted: "Joyce, give me a ciga­rette!" Mrs. Cassibry looked up, startled, explained apologetically she didn't smok* herself but real­ized she well could carry a pack of smokes about with her. The report­er was no less startled and just as apologetic. Point was, he explained, he really was yelling at Pvt. Rich­ard Joyce, another reporter. He didn't know that Mrs. Cassibry's first name was "Joyce"!

At Least Ten Holidays Noted in These States

More than half the states observe 10 or more legal holidays during the year in addition to Sundays and primary and general election days, according to the council's survey. The following states have between 12 and 15: Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, North Carolina, Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, Oklahoma, Penn­sylvania and Virginia.

Common holidays are N«w Year's day, Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, Memorial day, Independ­ence day, Labor day'; Columbus day, Armistice day, Thanksgiving, Christ­mas, Good Friday and election days. Southern states observe Confederate Memorial day, also, although the date varies. A number of states, in­cluding Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Nevada and Texas celebrate as holidays the anniversary of their en­try into the Union.

The extent to which the holidays are observed varies. Certain holi­days in some states are, in effect, "bank holidays" only; in other states, certain holidays call for clos­ing of schools. Most of the national holidays normally are holidays in the strict sense of the word—with schools, businesses and industries shutting down for the day.

World's Largest Single Mobile Mine Mechanism

A man-made giant miner, a ma­chine representing the largest single piece of mobile machinery in the world, now plows into Hillsides near Calliz, Ohio, as a clam into sand, lifting huge sections of dirt away from the shallow coal beds in thai region.

Performing, in a few hours what drift mining could do in days, this towering shore! is fed by electricity running through thich, rubber-cov­ered cables, and is manned by four Workers, each of whom has a dif­ferent job.

The giant gobbles a swath 40 feet deep, «0 feet long and 80 feet wide in a period of eight hours. The only preparation necessary is to blast heavy rock in the path of the machine.

Shovels built to excavate the Panama canal were considered the final notch in vastness for mobile machines, but they would be mere pygmies in comparison with this behemoth, which reacbes a height of 100 feet. ' The dipper has a capacity of 20

cubic yards and could easily hold a modern automobile.

Oklahoma Family The department of agriculture's

"Food for Freedom" drive and the treasury's war bond campaign both have received a boost from the Carl Johnson family of Jackson county, Okla.

Johnson, a rehabilitation borrow­er of the Farm Security administra­tion, and his two high school boys and three daughters got the "Food for Freedom" spirit last year when they, decided to buy a bunch of calves and feed them out for the market. He borrowed $750 from FSA and each child borrowed $60. and, pooling their money, they bought 39 calves.

lifts its half-mile knob from a long, submerged coral reef in the mid-Pacific some 700 miles southwest of the Hawaiian islands. It was dis­covered in 1807 by the British sea captain whose name it bears. In 1858 an American schooner claimed possession for the United States but shortly thereafter the Hawaiian gov­ernment declared its ownership of the island. Hawaii formally annexed it but in 1909 leased it to a private individual after which it passed un­der the control of the United States. In ly26 our government declared it a bird refuge and later it became a seaplane base. In 1934 it was made a naval defense area and all foreign vessels and aircraft were barred. Last August it was com­missioned as a naval air station.

Long Visit The enlisted personnel at Fort

Devens, Mass., came back to nor­mal recently with the return of Pri­vate Joe Gomez from. a long fur­lough during which he visited at his home in Taos, N. M. You see, Pri­vate Gomez neither reads nor speaks English. So when he was granted a furlough and told to go home for a visit, he followed the words he knew—"Go home"—and did so. And it was quite a stay. Finally, friends started wondering about his long visit, discovered his incomplete understanding of fur­lough operation and arranged for his immediate return to camp.

Tire Companies Destroy So That They Can Save

Rubber is scarce and rubber tires, as far as the civilian is concerned, are scarcer.

But the great rubber factories of the United States are still intention­ally destroying a small quantity of rubber in tires each month so much greater amounts for the war effort can be saved.

The story is this, according to tire engineers:

To find the correct technical in­formation to make possible future improvements in tire design and construction, current model tires must be tested.

That means they must be virtually destroyed to add to the sum of tech* nical knowledge.

It isn't wasting rubber, however. It is conserving it.

For, the 100 pounds of crude rub­ber that go into the tires tested monthly may result in saving I/000 tons monthly through a change in design, in the type of compmmd used, or other factors.

The work is being carried on in­tensively these days with the prin­cipal motive the saving of every pound of rubber possible, Gray says.

On the surface, it might appear that tire engineers waste rubber when they go about destroying tires for test purposes, Gray de­clares, however, when otie consid­ers that the expenditure of a trivial amount for testing may save tons for the national stockpile, the effort is an important part of the war effort.

First Quartermaster Corp* Consisted of Only Two Men It was June 16, 1775—more, than a

year before the signing of the Dec­laration of Independence—when the Continental conrjres^ authorize the establishment of a quartermaster department, headed-by Maj, Gen. Thomas Mifflin. At-that time the corps consisted of two men. Gen­eral Mifflin and one deputy.

From that humble beginning, the quartermaster corps, now hesd-d by Majj. Gen. Edmund B. Gregory has iiiLreased to several hundred thousand officers and men and is charged with one of the most com­plicated tasks of the armed forces.

Primarily the function of the quar­termaster corps is to feed, clothe, and equip the army. Among the duties assigned the quartermaster corps are supplying the army with all motor vehicles except combat vehicles; operation of laundries; supply of gasoline and lubricating oils; procurement of horses and mules; operation of schools where more than 70 different trades are tavjht; design of uniforms, medals and insignia; storage and distribu­tion of supplies; procurement and distribution of all the solder's per­sonal and individual equipment ex­cept arms; salvage or repair of materials; supervision of army and national cemeteries.

The quartermaster corps has handled considerable of the Lend-Lease work in the present war.

Boose's Stunner Dress Putting the house into its summer

dress has always been one of the most joyous activities for the wom­an who takes pride in her home. The bright cretonnes and chintzes of the summer draperies aha slip covers, the cool freshness of grass mats and rugs, the fresh crispness of cotton bedspreads and curtains seem atune to the season's rebirth. This year we need cheerful house­hold decorations even more than we do in peaceful years, for they will help lift our spirits while our men folk are fighting and working for victory. We must continue to make good homes, clean homes, attractive homes, whether all the men of the family are on fighting fronts or whether they are making their con­tribution to victory in their own heme towns.

Old Farm Buildings Under farm conditions today, a

structure serving no useful purpose and in poor condition might better be torn down and the material sal­vaged for use in repairing or con­structing other buildings.

Razing of a useless farm buildV ing eliminates a fire hazard, reduces taxable property and helps clean up the farmstead. Necessary re­pairs to useful buildings can and should be madf* now while there is still construction and repair ma­terial available, as ordinary mainte­nance and repair work needed to return a structure to a sound work­ing condition without a change of design is not affected by Conserva­tion Ordsjr L-4A under which expendi­tures for building construction are now regulated.

Fire Hoards Revealed In Annual Inspection

A city-wide inspection of homes, just completed by the Milwaukee fire department, has revealed many fire hazards which should be elimi­nated to insure safe protection of occupants.

Since private homes under state law are exempt from fire inspec­tion, all investigations were made only with consent of dwelling occu­pants. Basements only were entered and fire hazards found were report­ed to tenants along with informa­tion on the proper way to correct them.

While attic investigations were not made, inspectors informed ten­ants of hazards created by goods stored in attics and said this materi­al was potential fuel for incendiary bombs dropped by enerdy planes during an air raid. - It was pointed out that suck

material — old furniture, bedding, newspapers and cartons—seldom if ] ever is used and could be disposed of easily.

All inspection was done by fire department members on their days off duty. They worked in pairs so nothing would be overlooked and to double check advice given to \ avoid misunderstandings.

Among hazards found were rub­bish, 5,388; storage of ashes, 4,842; old newspapers, 1,555; defective smoke pipes, 1,705; defective chim­ney, 560; gas plates, 1,999; electric wires, 4,517; volatile liquids, 334.

Has New Ideas on Hanging

People should be hanged with the -knot of the hangman's noose just under their chins instead of at the back of the neck or just under the ear, Prof. Frederick Wood Jones, famous Australian anatomist, has reported.

The reason is that this position of the knot makes even a short drop

j instantly fatal by breaking the bony joint called the "atlas," where the skull rests on top of the backbone. The victim loses consciousness at once and dies as soon as the circu­lation of the blood can stop.

Anyother place for the hangman's knot may be just as fatal in the long run, but often fails to break the spinal cord and thus cause instant unconsciousness. Death then fol­lows more slowly, as a result of injury to the base of the brain or from strangulation. Consciousness may last for several minutes and death of the brain may not be com* plete for 10 or 19 minutes.

Placing the knot just under the ear sometimes wrecks the atlas joint just as does hanging with the knot under the chin, but is not so certain to do so. A knot at the back of the neck is the woi-st place of all, having no advantage except the doubtful psychological one that the victim may be less able to see or feel the noose being adjusted.

Bone Pieaeer F s m s ftcnaJa There are some families left, the

department of agriculture reports, who shear, card, and spin wool from their own sheep in pioneer fashion. The Kollmans are an example.

George F. Kollman runs the Mis­sion ranch in an isolated section of Montana. The nearest trading point is Hays, in the Fort Belknap Indian reservation. Thrown largely on their own resources, the Kollmans have revived many practices of covered wagon days.

With homespun yarn, Mrs. Koll­man knits all the socks, mittens, sweaters, mufflers, and caps her family needs for cold Montana win­ters. Rancher t^Mman wears a suit made from wool grown on the backs of Kollman sheep, and sent to a manufacturer to weave.

Kollman, now an FSA borrower, once operated a store. He says that now he does not mind getting to a store only two or three times a year. Mrs. Kollman cans and preserves home-grown meats and vegetables, makes butter, and is in charge of the family poultry and egg supply.

A rmy Emergency Relief In reply to many inquiries regard­

ing eligibility for aid from Army Emergency Relief, the war depart­ment points out that Army Emer­gency Relief has been organized by the army to give speedy financial help and other assistance to all sol­diers and their dependents who de­serve help, whenever and wherever such help is needed. In proper cases money will be advanced; in other cases medical care, or food, fuel and clothing will be furnished. Sol­ders or their dependents can ask fdr.help at any army post, camp or air field, or local Red Cross chap­ter, where full information will be available. When applying, depend­ents must give name, grade, serial number, organization, station or last mailing address of the soldier.

Become Less Civilized Bolivian Indians have actually be­

come less civilized, in many ways, since their conquest by the Span­iards, and their Christian fea.st days are much like the ceremonies in honor of the Sun God whom t.-.eir forefathers worshiped. S;:ch cele­brations usually become rictcus by night for they like to drown their troubles in drink. Their cress for those occasions are stiff-skin bnetc

j and breastplates, which fit over the I head and shoulders, and are biil-

liantiy colored. Strange hooped hats are special fiesta finery and the trou­sers are slit up the back of the leg to the knee showing white under-

] drawers and brown legs.
