that the nation must be prepared
to defend itself.
Meanwhile. congressional lead,

study of the defense program as
soon as it reaches Capitol Hill.
READY WITHIN 4S HOURS
The defense message may go to
Capital Hill by tomorrow or
Wednesday, it was indicated at
the White House.
The new program carried the
possibility of plunging Congress
into bitter struggle over the
extent to which American mill

the face of world unrest and
threats of dictator nations.
MORE PLANES CERTAIN
While the regular annual
budget for the Army and Navy
will soar to new heights, the
Presidents budget message indi.
Gated that the expansion of the
Army and Navy may proceed
slower than was anticipated.
A huge increase in the au.
thorized airplane strength Of the
Army perhaps raising it from
2,23O planes to 10000 to $4,000,
may be a part of the program.
Increased munitions reserve,
further mechanization and a
greater personnel to meet needs
Of an expanding air force may
also be recommended for the
Army.
Congressional naval experts as
sumed that Mr.. Roosevelt would

PLANES REACH SPAIN

Further investigation. it was de
clared. revealed the planes had
gone to France and thence to
loyalist Spain.
The Canadian authorities, 1t
was stated, granted permission for
the planes to leave Canada on the
basis of documents presented by
the Canadian Car and Foundry
Company, purporting to be signed
by high officials of the Turkish
government. But the documents
proved to be forgeries.
1T developed" the report
stated. that these documents
we're forgeries and that the per-
sons responsible for them we're
either agents of, or acting on
behalf of agents Of, the Span
ish government.
Numerous other attempts to
ship planes and arms to third
countries with the intention of
ultimate transhipment to Spain
in violation of United States law
have been frustrated by the
operation of the export licensing
system instituted by the neutrality
act" the report stated.
In one instance the BellanCa
Aircraft Corporation applied for
licenses for export of % planes
to a Greek company in Athens
for use in civil reServist school
The American legation investi-
gated and found the school did
not exist and the Greek govern
ment said the planes were not for
use in Greece and probably were
intended for Spain.
Again, several attempts we're
made by the American Armament
Corporation to export "a 37-milli,
meter guns with 10000 rounds of
ammunition to Latvia, supposedly
for the Latvian army. The Lat
Wan government denied it had
placed such an order and said the
guns and ammunition probably
were intended for reshipment 20
Spain.
NUM- FUN fhANSE
In another instance, an attempt
was made to ship aircraft engines
and propellers to a Belgian com.
pany, supposedly for use in air
planes being manufactured for
Turkey. The Turkish government
denied the planes had been
ordered.
The board reported that it be-
lieved no arms had reached ma
tionalist forces in Spain from the
United States since January 8,
1887. when the neutrality act was
invoked against Spain. but that
had been a few" cases of illegal
expectation to the Spanish gov
eminent.
The board also made public for
the first time a letter from Secre-
tary of State Hull to American
airplane manufacturers asking
them not to sell planes to coun.
tries which bomb civilian centers.

Most Fires on Farms
From Common Causes

Farm fires in the United States
take about $500 lives and destroy
Sl00, 900, 600 worth of property each
year, says recent United States
department of agriculture publica-
ton. Fires on Farms.
Eighty-five per cent of this loss is
from such commonplace causes as
defective chimneys and hues;
sparks on combustible roofs; light
ming; spontaneous combustion;
careless use of matches, smoking !,
careless use of gasoline and kero-
sene; defective and improperly in
stalled stoves and furnaces; faulty
wiring; and misuse of electric APP
pliances.
Four simple precautions that the
author, Harry Z. Roethe, of the bu-
reau of chemistry and soils, gives
to reduce needless waste caused by
farm fires are: Use fire-resistant
roofing, dispose of waste and rub
Dish, never use gasoline or kero-
sene to start or revive a fire, and,
guard against overheating of stoves
and furnaces and clean smoke pipes
at least once year. He also sug-
gests that major buildings be
equipped with lightning rods.
In addition to removing the fire
hazards, Roethe suggests prepara-
tons to fight a fire should one oc-
cur, that is, fre-fghting equipment
on every farm, kept in a handy
place ready for instant use.

A lack of sufficient vitamin D in
rations for laying fiocks can be de-
termined far more readily by egg
shell quality than in the number of
eggs produced. Egg shells become
weak before production is in any
way impaired when vitamin D is
deficient. With an adequate supply
of the vitamin, the number of
cracked and weak-shelled eggs pro-
duced in day should not exceed 3
per cent. This means that with a
collection of 400 eggs daily. there
should not be more than about one
dozen cracked or Weak-shelled eggs.
If the number exceeds this, the in
dications are that the vitamin D re-
quirements of the birds are not be-
ing properly met.
To correct this condition, the cod
liver oil content of the ration should
be increased. Normally, the use of
2 per cent of high grade, natural
cod liver oil in the mash will pro-
vide a sufficient amount of the vita
min for good results. If this amount
is being used and the number Of
cracked eggs still exceeds 3 per
cent, it is possible that the quality of
the oil is not up to standard.
Egg production alone is not very
good criterion of the needs of the
birds for vitamin D. because under
most conditions the birds obtain
sufficient amount through the ordi-
nary open windows of a poultry
house to meet their requirements
for egg production.
