BAN SLAUGHTER OF
 BROILER TURKEYS

The slaughter of bFeiler turkeys weighing from two to four pounds whic his about 25 per cent. of the weight of a mature bird, is obvious Iy wasteful, in the opinion of the Food Administration, which is ap- pealing to Connecticut hotels, clubs and restaurants, where most of the broilers are consumed, to discontinue sending them.
 It is also desired that deaIers re- fraip from purchasing these imma- ture birds and that they urge farm CTS to raise their turkeys to maturity, thereby adding to the country's meat supply.

ACTRESS IN RACE
HELPS RED CROSS

Never was a jocky prouder of vic
tory and few have received greater
reward than Enid Bennett, the little
Triangle star, when she rammed home
to scalding finish as the winner in
the sensational race shown in They're
OFF," a Triangle feature to be shown
at the American theatre tonight. Rid
ing came with dolls in her youth to
Miss Bennett. The nursery seemed
next door to the stable, for she could
handle the reins as soon as she could
dress her dolls.
So when she was told of the action
in They're Offl" wherein a thrilling
horse race was to be a feature, she
was delighted with the part. On the
day of the race number of stars
and prominent theatrical men decided
they would see whether or not Miss
Bennett was in earnest about her rid
ing. They had learned she was to act
as a jockey in the race. When all was
ready, more than one hundred specta-
tors were present. Miss Bennett ap-
peared in Jockeys costume, most
becoming on her 1.-THE, slender body
Opposed to her on the other mount
was professional jockey.
The part provided the Triangle star
was to win the race, and she did, al
though she had to present a Furnishing
finish. Her riding was good, almost
professional but her artist friends
jested with her, fiouting her victory,
deriding her success. They dared and
5efied her to ride again. Finally they
began wagering, whoever won to give
The winnings to the Red Cross. Enid
Bennett accepted the challenge. The
horses were given a two-hour rest
Then the test came again, this time
N deadly earnest. The professional
vas assured he would receive a $3.50
aonus if he won. Miss Bennett was
iding for charity. She was astride a
aeady brute, almost too heavy for her
arms. But she rode him with abandon
md consummate skill. II was a bat
and-spur finish, Enid Bennett high on
he shoulders, lifting her horse 1T
very stride. She won the race, and
with 1t large sum for charity.

NAVY CLAIMS Big
IL-SHALE RESERVE

In the annual report of the director
of the Geological Survey, just made
public, attention is called to the crea-
ton of two naval oil reserves in Colo
RADIO and Utah. The survey has been
investigating the oil shales of the
United States that give most promise
of yielding a commercial supply of
oil, and has explored large areas in
Colorado and Utah that contain inn
mense deposits of such shales, some
of which carry thirty to fifty gallons
of oil to the ton. This potential re-
source is estimated by the survey in
terms of billions of barrels of oil,
which it is believed can be economic
ally extracted from the shales, pos
sibly in competition with petroleum
at present prices. 1t is therefore of
special interest to note that during
the last year two oil-shale reserves
were created for the use of the navy,
one of 45,440 acres in Colorado and
one of 86,584 acres in Utah.
General classification of oil-shale
during the year, the work covering
large areas. Geological examination
of the oil-shale region of the West
has shown that the oil shales in Utah
and Colorado contain enormous guam
titles of petroleum. They also con-
tain a considerable percentage Of
nitrogen, aggregating vast supply,
which can be recovered as by-pro-
duct in the refining of the shale and
used either as a fertilizer or in the
manufacture of explosives.
