Stores May.SeN Sacks Of Mix
il Thanks To Paper Bag Invention
BxF. B. COTTON

Z Ass6eiated Press Science Writer
WASHINGTON. June A..
Housewives soon may be ordering
"a sack of milk" at the corner
grocery as the result of newly
invented paper bag which the ag-
riculture department believes will
preserve dried skim milk.
And farmers may get new
market for the skim milk they
usually throw to the pigs and
calves.
Contains Food Values
Dried skim milk now is sold only
in wholesale lots. 1t contains all
the food values of ordinary milk
except the fat, and can be used
to supplement limited food bud
get or to improve1c hildren's diets.
The new paper bag, consisting
of an outer layer of bond paper
and an inner bag made of two
layers of glassine with paraffin
between the layers has been test
ed and found satisfactory by the
departments bureau of dairy in
dustry.
Small quantities of dried skim
milk, suitable for household use,
can be sold in these bags, which
will preserve the dried milk for
four months under favorable stor-
age conditions.
For Home Use
The dried milk, largely a by
product of butter-making. prob
ably can be sold cheaply enough
in small quantities to be used in
any home, says DR.. Louise Stan
ley, chief of the bureau of home
economics. It already is used by
commercial bakeries and ice cream
factories.
Dried skim milk contains the
calcium and phosphorus that are
important in children's diets. II is
rich in protein, and in vitamin
G, which is believed to prevent
pellagra. the disease of the south
which attacks persons on u too
limited diet.
One pound of dried skim milk
Is equivalent IN food value to four
and three-quarters quarts of fresh
skim milk and can be be used in
the same manner if mixed with
water.

RADIO SUIT

The Supreme Court ruled yes

the famous litigation over the
Armstrong patents of radio i'm

In an opinion read by Justice
Cardozo, the court held the two

Radio Corporation of America.
the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the De
Forest Radio Company, petition
erS in appeal from the Federal
Appeals Court at New York.
The court ordered the Ap-
pellate Courts decree reversed
and confirmed an early decree
by the District Court in favor
of the De Forest group.
The litigation arises out Of
radio discoveries made in 1912
and 1913 and has once before
been before the Supreme Court,
in addition to long extended pro.
ceedings in lower tribunals.
Citing from De Forests note
books, the court asserted De
Forest had been ahead of three
rivals in the discovery of revolu-
tionary principles involved in the
development of the "feed-back
circuit" and the audion "oscilla-
tor" radio device.

SHARE LOSS

Present indications are that
around 200 fire insurance and re.
insurance companies will share
the $4,000 loss as a result of
the Chicago stockyard conflagra.
ton over the weekend.
Although it is impossible at this
time to determine the actual loss
per company, officials state that
they have been most conservative
in their fire underwriting in this
territory and that losses will be
confined to small amounts per
company.
Several companies state that it
will be over a week before their
respective offices can determine
actual losses.
Aetna Insurance Co. estimates
its loss at around $l50,000, while
Phoenix Insurance Co. expects its
losses to be confined to $4,000.
