TURN over PLANTS
Manufacturers Ready for Govt
Contracts at Small Profit.
Favor Mobilization of All e. S.
Industries for War Service.

New York, May 15.-The biggest
American manufacturers are ready to
turn their plants over to the govern
their present work, provided existing
contracts can be extended, according
to Colonel George Pope, president of
the National Association of Manufac-
lures in convention here today.
Colonel Pope made this statement in
an interview today He declared the
manufacturers were willing to execute
government contracts at "a very small
margin of profit"
With regard to labors offer to tenn
porarily forego agreements calling for
an eight-hour day, in view of the pres
ent emergency. Colonel Pope said:
THE manufacturers would prefer
to work a ten-hour day at the present
scale of wages. This would be more
economical for the government"
Must Protect Present Contracts.
Colonel, Pope said plans for giving
every aid to the United States in the
war crisis would be discussed and
probably acted on at the convention,
in session at the Waldorf Astoria.
The manufacturers of this coun-
try" he declared, would look most
favorably on a proposition for govern
ment mobilization of all industries for
war. In all my talks with manufac-
turers, 1 have learned they are willing
to do government work at very small
margin of profit. The manufa cturerS
attitude is very patriotic. But there
should be a consideration that manu-
facturers having trade contracts al
finish them, or should have them ex-
teDded

Use meat substitutes.

THESE are suggestions from the

Kansas council of defense
Amerio ans, it is asserted, eat too
much meat. Before the war began,
this country consumed half again as
much meat as Great Britain or Ire
land, and nearly twice as much as the
nations on the European continent

Gladly decreased, with no ill effects
to the health of the members of the
family. Exactly how much meat
should be eaten is difficult matter to
determine, but at least one meat dish
a day is an ample allowance. Meat
substitutes, such as milk, eggs, cheese,
beans and peas, may be used in part
FOR meats.
Cheap Meat Nutritious.
The expensive cuts of meat have a
better flavor and are more easily and
quickly prepared than the cheaper
ones, but have no higher food value
The cheaper cuts, because they are
tougher, require more time for cook
ing. but the fireless cooker can be
used in their preparation. The pot
roast, the stew, praised meat and
meat loaf are a few of the numerous
ways in which these tougher cuts can
be prepared to make palatable dishes
Meat can be made to go farther by
adding small quantity of meat to
other materials, as meat with rice,
vegetables, or dumplings, and by serv-
ing meat pie, meat on toast or biscuit
and similar dishes.
