WITH REICH chemists working
overtime, the Germans are said to lie
less able to support a big war than
in 1914. With Lorraine gone, the iron
supply is not enough. The available
soil is not extensive enough to pro-
cuce fodder crops for cattle, bread
stuffs, sugar beets, potatoes, vege-
tables, flax and hemp. In the event OF
a major war is calculated that
Germany will need from Is to 20 nil
hon tons Of oil each year. Even with
the seizure of Rumania, she can hope
for but 100000 tons. Synthetic pro-
duction cannot make up the deficit.

Reindeer Is Held Unique
Among the Deer Family

The reindeer is unique among
deer in that the female, like the
male, carries antlers, although they
are smaller. It also differs from
most deer in having young without
spots, writes Ernst Schwarz in Ma
ture magazine. The reindeer is the
only deer that has become attached
to man and has been domesticated
The range of the reindeer (the
name being here used in its broad
est sense) includes the Arctic por-
tons of both the Old and the New
Worlds. In America it is called the
caribou. It is found in Scandinavia,
Spitzbergen, northern Russia, Sibe-
ria, as well as in Alaska, most of
Canada, Greenland and other Arc
tic islands. During the great Ice age
reindeer were forced much farther
south. In France and Germany their
meat provided a staple food for
paleolithic man, and their antlers
and bones the material for his tools
and weapons. Some of the rock en-
cravings left in the caves of western
Europe by prehistoric man include
beautiful representations of this ami
NAL.

The basis of the system is the Ser

their respective areas. The material
studied at the Service Managers
Club meetings is furnished by the
Service and Mechanical Department
in Detroit, one division of which de-
votes full time to supervision of this
work. Motion pictures, slide films,
engineering and servicing data, COW
ering both equipment and method,
make up the study course, which is
supplemented by informal discussion
of the way in which individual man
ayers have dealt with specific SER
vice problems.
Returning home, the service man
ayers hold similar meetings in their
own leadership every two weeks,

100 BILLION POUNDS MILK USED
EACH YEAR

More than 100 billion pounds of
milk are produced and consumed in
the United States each year. Produc-
ton on farms in the United States
in recent years has averaged about
103 billion pounds, according to the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics.
In addition to this farm" produced
milk, about billion pounds are
produced in areas not classified as
farms" near cities and villages.
OF this 106-billion-pounds total.
more than 30 billion pounds are
consumed in cities and villages as
fluid milk and cream. This city"
consumption of milk and Of cream,
in terms of its milk equivalent,
represents nearly third Of the total
production each year.
More than half of the total pro-
duction each year goes into manu-
featured dairy products, such as but
ter, cheese, evaporated milk, con-
densed milk, ice cream, matted
milk, and so forth. Butter is the
most important manufactured pro-
duct Creamery butter production
alone takes more than 80 billion
pounds of milk each year, or approx
imately a third of the total annual
milk output Another 10 pecent is
used for producing butter on the
farm. Cheese accounts for nearly 6
percent of all milk produced each
year, and ice cream for from 8 to 4
percent.
Farm folks consume an additional
IL or 13 billion pounds of milk an
nually.
The Bureau reports that in 1886
the latest year for which figures
are complete-productio Of milk
in the United States was approx
mately S25 pounds per person.

There are four main blood groups.
In classifying the types of blood two
test serums are used. If the blood
does not clot with either serum
the blood is type I; if it clots with
both it is type ~; if it clots with
one but not with the other it is type
II or type III, depending on which
one is present when the CLOTHING
takes place. The various types OF
blood do not indicate anything about
health. All are normal.

Bird Sense

Many sportsmen and naturalists
credit birds with reasoning power
because they learn from expe-
rience they point out that an
experienced pheasant, for instance,
is very difficult to flush +. the bird
learns that any noise coming toward
him may be signal of danger
and instead of flushing, he will
creep along the ground, or run
refusing, until forced, to rise into
the air where he might become q
target for a sportsman's gun
or bird of prey for this rea-
son, spaniels are the best dogs for
hunting pheasants they will
crowd the bird until it fushes
instead of pointing him.

THE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT

@. Business concerns are require
ed to make a quarterly report to the
Collector of internal Revenue, show
ing the name, account number, and
wages paid, for each employee. Sup
pose an employee has quit or was
dismissed before he secured an ac-
count number. What is the employ
err to do when he starts to fill out
report which requires the en-
ployee's account number?
A. II the employee can be locat-
ed and 1t is found that he still has
no number, the employer advises him
to get one. In case the employer
is unable to find the former em-
ploy or to- induce him to secure
an account number, the employer
is required to file an application for
the employee-based on informa-
ton and belief.
@. Does the United State Govern
ment keep account of the wages
paid to every worker in this coun-
| try?
A. No. The United State Govern
ment only keeps account of wages
paid to workers who participate in
the old-age insurance system. About
43 million Industrial and commerce
ial workers now have social secur-
ity accounts. More than 35 million
of those accounts have alreGdy had
wage earnings posted to- their cred
it, Old-age insurance benefits will
be paid by the Federal Government
to each insured worker after he
reaches age IS, and the benefits will
be based on the workers own wage
earnings. That is why it is necessary
for the Social Security Board to
keep a record of each insured
workers wage.
@. How do go about getting un-
employment compensation benefits
when l am out of work?
A. AS soon as you are laid OF
or lose your job, go to the nearest
State employment office. You must
register for work at this office and
also make out claim for your
benefits. The employment office will
try to find another job for you.
Q. was employed as saleswoman
in a store for four years. ALI dur
ing 1887 and 1898 I paid the wage
tax required under the Social Sec
urity Act and the man who owned
the store paid the same amount of
tax on my wages that paid. The
business was sold two months ago,
and / was left without job. Some
one told me that / should get un-
employment compensation, but when
went to the employment Office to
apply for benefits l was told that
was not entitled to unemployment
compensation because my employer
had only two employees and there
fore was not covered by the unem-
ployment compensation law in this
State. Is that the truth?
A. Yes. In accordance with the
unemployment compensation law in
this State, employers who have less
than four employees are not re-
quired to pay contributions under
that law. The tax required under the
Social Security Act which you and
your employer paid had nothing
whatever to do with unemployment
insurance. The same law that pro-
vides old-age insurance protection
fer commercial and industrial work.
ers also provides for tax on en-
ployees and ON employers. You have
been accommodating old-age insur-
ance credits which will some day
come back to you in the form OF
old-age insurance benefits. However
your employment did not entitle
you to unemployment compensation
because you were working for an
employer who had less than four
employees.

Why Prefer Particular Colors

Each of us has a preference for
some particular color, but not all
of us know why. A slight knowl-
edge of the meaning of color will
help us analyze our likes and dis
likes. It is wise to consider the
characteristic properties of individ-
ual colors before we proceed to
change the color combinations in
our homes. Red, for instance, SYM
bolizes vitality, energy, power. 1t
is highly stimulating. Blue signi-
fies tranquility. Psychologically, its
influence is quieting. Yellow SYM
bolizes light, cheerfulness. Green
soothes, yet exhilarates.
