GREEN QUININE
FOR CHINESE
Among the bizarre, problems the
Red Cross handed itself when it
started that first load of medicines
off to China via the Burma road
was the matter of dyeing 10000 900
quinine tablets green.
Green quinine doesn't taste any
better than the other kind, but
that's how the Chinese prefer it.
Some years ago the Red Cross was
passing out quinine to Chinese
flood sufferers. Chinese druggists
got to collecting them and selling
them, and to check this the Red
Cross man on the spot got some
vegetable dyes and colored his tab
lets green, telling all hands green
tablets shouldn't be paid for.
All of which made a big hit, and
somehow gave the run-of mine
Chinese the idea quinine had to be
green to be good.
In that connection: green or not,
those quinine tablets may prove
essential to the proper functioning
of the Burma road supply trains.
The road dips through a valley
that is highly malarial. Medical
men have reported that unless
there's plenty of quinine the truck
ers and repair crews wouldn't be
able to keep going very long.
Medicines now being shipped Gin
GLIDING aspirin, sulfanilimide and
other things, besides quinine) have
cost around 100000. Red Cross
plans to spend plenty more in the
same way, but wants to see first
just how much Japanese interior
ence there1l be with these ship
ments.

@. What is the harvest noon?
A. The full moon that fails near
est the autumnal equinox. Owing
to the fact that the full moon at
that period is in the part Of its
orbit where it makes the smallest
angle with the horizon, it rises at
nearly the same hour for several
nights in succession at that time Of
the year, thus giving an unusual
proportion of moonlit nights.

Looking For
Skilled Workers
For Defense Work

HELENA. July Montana will
be called upon to supply its share of
manpoWer to prepare the United
States for defense, according to John
w Nelson. director of the Montana
State Employment Service. Already
steps are being taken at Washing
ton. d. C., by the Bureau of EN-
ployment Security to prepare the
nations system of 1000 public en-
ployment offices for the job that
has been assigned to it to recruit
labor for defense industries.
AT recent conference at the re-
gional office of the bureau in Denver
officials from Montana were given
details of the job ahead and of the
plans taken to prepare local offices
to perform this task efficiently. One
of these Is the introduction on ma
tion-wide scale of a new dictionary
of occupational titles which estab-
fishes the official name for every
conceivable job in public and pri-
vate employment. This dictionary
soon will be put into use in all Mon
tana employment offices and
throughout the nation.
Washington estimates there will
be one million men employed in
the armament and allied industries
of the defense program. Public en-
ployment offices as of April 80 had
5,600,0o0 persons registered for
jobs, indicating that there is no la
Dor shortages as yet, either in the
state or the nation. But the arma-
ment industries will require comb
ing of the nation for technicians
and skilled Workmen and the state
employment service already is do
ing its part in locating qualified
men in Montana.
Our 43 local employment offices
and contact points are registering
and classifying skilled workers and
technlclans as part of our duties"
Director Nelson said. AS these
men are called to armament Gen.
tiers the employment service will be
prepared to supply local industries
and employers with competent help
to take their place in the home field.
Indications are that employment op-s
portunities, particularly in the
skilled grades, will increase as the
program develops and that jobs in
subsidiary industries, such as min
ing, numbering, smelling, etc, will
become available in proportion to
increases in employment through
out the nation

S50,0OO,OOO Fur
Market Jeopordized

Ii was not until the discovery ot
North America that the world f,l
trade got into its stride. That i
early became an enormously profit.
able business on this continent i
attested by the fact that great for.
tunes were amassed from dealing in
furs. In these circumstances. with
pelts readily obtainable and profits
large, no attention whatever was
paid to the question of the possible
exhaustion of this source of wealth
that nature provided with a prodl-
gal hand. Naturally depletion of
fur resources resulted. This cannot
be attributed. however, entirely TO
overeagerness in trapping. The dis
appearance of the wilderness. ma
tural habits of the fur animals, was
major factor.
Nevertheless. even today the trap
pers and fur farmers of the United
States receive S50,000,000 a year for
the raw furs they bring to the
market. The annual retail turn
over of finished articles is several
tlmes that amount, in 1929, the peak
year, it reached half a billion dol
lars. The United States is, in fact.
the largest fur consuming market
in the world. Today. instead of
the United States being the worlds
chief source of fur supply. this coun-
try depends upon imports for one
half OF It's requirements.
If war conditions prevent normal
importation of furs, it probably will
mean dependence upon domestic
fur resources. This would bring the
danger of taking more fur animals
than the supply warrants and thus
unduly depicting the breeding
stocks. Trappers still take the fur
animals from the wild with the same
extravagant disregard of the neces-
slty for maintaining or increasing
whatever supply is left.
Unless measures are taken to
strike a proper balance between
supply and demand. the nations
natural fur resources will be COM
pletely exhausted. Almost every
state has some fur resources that
are source of income for some of
its citizens. The methods of man.
aging these resources are almost en-
tlrely haphazard, and in fact few
conservationists have given serious
thought to the matter.
For several years the biological
survey has been assembling data
on the annual production of furs in
the United States from figures or
estimates Of the animal catch re-
ceived from various state game COM
missions and other sources. Not I'M
I'll every state inaugurates a sys-
tenn of recording the number of furs
taken and enforces the report re-
quirement will it be possible to cal
culate the total annual catch or es-
innate the value of this resource for
the entire United States.
The Bureaus Wildhfe refuge pro-
gram has undoubtedly developed
more favorable natural habitats for
Wildlife and this has directly bene-
fitted the fur resources found natur-
ally on these areas. A more pro-
found realization of the purpose and
possibilities for developing all forms
Of Wildlife on these refugees is de-
yeIOpinp.
