Selected Poem
FRESHMAN DAUGHTER

violet Alleyn Storey in the New York SUM
Teachers have crammed her head with knowleoe
So, at long last, she's fit for college
But, first, it seems, it's up to me
To outfit my offspring properly.
I've read up on these campus toys
Skirts sweaters, socks, coon coat, and clogs
Bright slicker for the rainy days;
Hat to be worn dozen ways.
She says, "Yes; yes:"-stands idly by
While select the full supply
OF such for her, my learned Lass
But when it's prom things that We pass,
She bids me pause All, here are clothes
Designed for dancing and for beaux!
She coaxes-"Mother please, please please
You must invest in heaps Of these
To offset my brains or I'm afraid
College may make me an old maid"

WANTS DEFENSE
PLANTS IN MIDWEST

Senator Bennett Clark of Missouri
reports progressively good progress
in the drive to procure new de-
tense program plants for the area
between the Allegheny and Rocky
Mountains.
Clark is one of Is or 20 senators
who have been urging William
Knudsen of the National Defense
Advisory Commission to locate mu-
nitions, aircraft, tank and artillery
plants in the midwest. Senator
Clark cites these reasons why this
should be done:
l. The midwest is less liable to
air and sea attack than the coastal
regions. $780,.
2. The midwest deserves fair re-
turn on it's share of taxes.
8. Government aid to firms pro-
ducing defense materials will leave
them with a substantial advantage
when the crisis has passed; why
handicap midwest industry by aid
ing only coastal firms?

@. Which American painter is
famous for his works on '"The
Rough Riders" and cowboy life?
A. Frederic Remington, 1861 l909
Few artists have drawn horses with
so much action and reality.
@. How long did it take to pro-
duce the photoplay 1.-THE Birth OF
Nation?"
A. Eight months.
@. What type machine guns were
used on airplanes during the World
War?
A. One was synchronized with
the motor Of the airplane so that
the shots were fired between the
blades of the propeller as they re-
volved. The other guns were Of the
flexible type, mounted on universal
pivots, and which could be aimed
and fired in any direction.
@. My husband came to the
United States eighty years ago,
when he was a baby. Did he auto
matically become citizen by reason
of having lived here since infancy,
if his parents were not naturalized?
A. There is no automatic citizen
ship for aliens who have lived here
since infancy. When one or both
parents Of a minor, male alien child
became naturalized citizens prior to
his twenty-first birthday, he auto
matically became citizen.

(NEA Service staH Correspondent
Washington, Aug. 23.-The sole
United States producer Of mag
nesiurn is launching a nationwide
advertising and publicity campaign
defending its business practices in
anticipation of the results Of an
inquiry by the antitrust division
of the Department Of Justice.
Government investigators are
delving into the affairs Of the Dow
Chemical Company, suspecting they
may find another patent-pool mo-
nopoly which will cause as much
excitement as the Bausch & Lomb
case.
Bausch & Lomb and a German
firm were charged with using their
patents to control military and
commercial supplies. Their contract
allegedly kept American-made OPP
teal instruments from British and
French BUYERS,
The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1940-08-23
PRICE DROPPED
THIS YEAR


liar tie-up between Dow Chemical
and Farbenindustrie, a German
firm. 1t doesn't seem likely, though,
that Dow will be arraigned for
Withholding magnesium from the
allies; the greater part Of its 1899
output of 5000 tons went to Great
Britain.
The ingot price of magnesium
was 50 a pound in 1917. This year
Dow reduced the price from 80 to
~ cents pound. So If there has
been monkey business, it doesn't ap-
pear to have kept prices up.
Magnesium, lightest metal known,
has been used for some time In Eu-
rope for auto and plane parts. It
was introduced into American autos
this year, and it is also used here
for airplane engine parts which are
grease coated.
It's sources are as unlimited as
the ocean. It is made from mag
nesium chloride, which can be taken
from sea brine. Hence, military
procurement officials place 1t far
down the list of critical war needs.
GOVERNMENT MUST
SHOW TIE-UP
Dow has expanded its plant at
Midland, Mich, and is building an
other at Freeport, Tex. Later this
year the combined production is ex-
pected to be boosted to a rate Of
100000 pounds annually.
Fabricated magnesium is made by
80 companies licensed by the Mag
nesium Development Corp, whose
members hold patents on fabricat-
ling techniques. Aluminium Com
pany and General Aniline & Film
Corp, two-thirdS of which is owned
by Swiss interests, jointly control
both this patent pool and its Ii
censee, American Magnesium Corp.
If the government discloses there
is conspiracy to fix prices and
restrain production, it will have to
show Dow has entered into cross
agreements with the patent holders
who control fabrication.
