Lou Interest Rate

From the treasury's view
point, this proposed scheme
would facilitate the rapid flota-
ton of debt. 1t would also
make possible borrowing at a
low rate of interest On the
other hand, if the purist scheme
of doubling the nonearning
cash reserves of banks is put
into effect at a time of quick
ened federal borrowing, the
pendulum could conceivably
swing from subnormal interest
rates to excessive rates.
In any circumstances. the
new defense production and the
proposed free aid TO Great Brit
ain and her allies will prove
expensive to the national econ
omy, and this basic fact can
not be obscured by any neat
scheme for credit manipulation.
The financial trend will be more
conditioned by the rate and
manner and size of govern
mental spending, and the char
acter OF the tax program.
AS a matter of fact, the pro-
longed pump printing policies
during the depression so ex-
banded the deposit structure of
the country that even proposed
restrictions would not shrink it
down to the actual legitimate
requirements of industry.

reserves. His novel proposition is
that the banks be permitted to
keep the suggested additional re-
serves either in cash or in a spe-
cial new type of non-negotiable
federal bonds bearing l per cent
or more interest.
His idea is that the tremen-
dous excess reserves of the banks
be thus made available for gov
ernmental financing. From the
banks viewpoint. investment of
the added reserves in interest
bearing governmental obliga-
tions would convert the addi-
tional reserves into an earning
asset, which would help to pay
the overhead of the banks.

Banks Retain Option

With banks retaining the OPP
ton to keep such additional re-
serves in cash or governmental
"consols," it is assumed they
would be tempted to choose the
latter, in view of earnings. espe-
cially in light of the concurrent
proposal that such bonds be re-
deemable in cash at the option
of the holder. This provision
would eliminate the banking
fear of price deterioration in
at least this phase of the banks
government bond portfolio.
At least this much can be said
in commentator of the scheme.
If it is proper to load banks up
with fixed capital investments,
instead of self-liquidating, short
term commercial paper, then
such nonnegotiable bonds, which
are not subject to the hazard of
market fluctuations. is more suit
able than long term bonds SUBJ

HONIENIAKERS CONTEST
18 Women in Kent County Enroll
ed i'm Home Production Contest

Our first line of defense in this
world. wide emergency is a WELL
fed, healthy people on the home
front. With this thought in mind
of a fell-fed, healthy family Is
women in Kent County are enroll
ed in the Homemakers Home Pro-
lduction Contest. This contest,
sponsored by the Extension Ser
vice of the University of Delaware,
has been planned to stimulate in
terest among Kent County families
to produce and use more food at
home. Gardens, cows, hogs and
chickens, plus orchards form the
bases for homegrown food sup
ply. Earlier in the season special
help was given the home produc-
tion contestants in the planning
and planting of gardens. Plant
ing of new varieties and different
fruits and vegetables were stressed
to afford greater variety in the
diet. At the present time the
homemakers are busy canning
their home produced foods. Can
ming is of particular Importance to
the women with everyone striving
to can at least rs quarts for every
member of her family. Tomatoes,
"the poor mans orange" are being
canned by approved methods to
preserve their vitamin c. The third
part of the contest is a study of
storage facilities. Each homemak-
er will endeavor to improve her
storage space. Building of new
pantries, rearranging old closets
and adding shelves to already ex-
istant storage spaces will be part
of the program. Storage for the
homegrown meat supply will
round out the Food Production
Contest. In connection with the
contest many homemakers are
keeping account records so that
they may see in black and white
the dollar and cents value of their
home produced and home conserv-
ed foods. The climax of the Home
Production Contest will be the an
nouncement of the winners and a
days tour of the homes that made
the greatest improvements in their
home production. Assistance with
the many phases of home produc-
tion has not been limited to the
contestants but can be secured
from Miss Florence L. Yetter, Kent
county home demonstration agent,
at the Extension Offices Dover
Postoffice Building.

Pigeons Withstand
Blitzkrieg Tactics
Only Communication That
Cannot Be Cut.

PITTSBURGH. - The homing
pigeon is the only form of military
communication that can survive
blitzkrieg tactics, in the belief Of
Maj. John K. Shawvan, head of the
army's pigeon service.
Major Shawvan is directing the
work of drafting" thousands Of
homing pigeons from their fanciers
all over the United States, and train
ing the birds in two-way flights. In
the World war pigeons were taught
to fly only one way.
"The principle Of the blitzkrieg,
as developed by the German army,
is to drive spearhead in the enemy
lines, then fan out in all directions
and demoralize the enemy by cut
ting communications and isolating
the different units" Major Shawvan
explained.
THAT is what happened in the
Low Countries and in France, and
the only answer to it Is the homing
pigeon. 1t is the only form of COM
munication which cannot be cut
by the blitzkrieg. 1t will hop right
over it."
Major Shawvan pointed out that
the experience of the last war DEM
onstrated that, even though the pi-
geon remained when all other forms
of communication were cut, it was
still possible for a unit to be cut off
because pigeons were trained to fly
one way only.
Now, however, he said the army
doesn't have to maintain a fresh
supply of pigeons in the front lines.
He added that military officials have
been conducting large-scale expert
ments to develop two-way flights.
'The whole theory of homing pi-
geons has been revolutionized by
these two-way flights" he said,
land as result we won't have any
more lost battalions.'

school children and find that many
corrections have already been made
including removal of diseased ton
sils, glasses where the vision was
impaired, and improved diet in cas-
es of underweight. Tho there are
more children with diseased tonsils
in Kent County, Dr.Marion Hotopp,
acting director of Maternal and
Child Health for the State Board of
Health, states that it is not desir-
able to remove tonsils just before
school opens. Children operated
upon now would not have time to
recuperate before September and
would not be feeling their best for
entry into school life.

nors of Paris hospitals have threat
ened to strike unless demands for
increased food rations, promised
by Seine Prefect Charles Magny,
are Immediately met.
The donors, who supply about 400
quarts of blood monthly to Paris
hospitals, say that extra monthly
rations, consisting of approximately
four pounds of meat, one pound of
sugar, a pound of fat, such as but
ter and the like, are necessary if
they are to continue giving blood.
Officials, however, have consist

Callous Mars Steps On Venus Toes, Steel Beauty Gadgets Hoarded Now

Pittsburgh -- (UP) = Mars. the god of war, Is dishing out the old one-two to Venus, the god of beauty.
 Things have come to a pretty pass in the beauty parlors, jewelry counters and dress shops of Pitts burgh, and, possibly, the nation. One might term the situation critical" Tn fact, women say that would be putting it mildly.
 With silk stockings. Paris crea- tons and many perfumes already on the "scarce" list, Mars is reach- ing out a greedy hand for other items vital to continued existence Of that "well-groomed" look for which American women have be- come famous.
 One Of these is hairplns. It used to be that beauty shop operators bought them by the pound and used them generously. And when a patrons hair-do was finished the operator removed the hairpins and threw them on the floor. But times have changed.
 Now, the hairpins are removed carefully and sterilized for use again. Some operators are asking patrons to bring their own hairpins.
 The reason for the scarcity is chat hairpins are made of steel, and

 It is not only the ultraviolet rays but the infrared or heat rAys that are nearly or quite ns injurious Co the eyeB. A teinperAture 0f over TOGO degrees Y. is attained by the electric arc. The intense heat as well as the intense light emitted by molten metal and molten gAass causes the cataract which furnace workAers, puddiers, glass blowers and sheet glass makers 60 often develop.

 At what distance from the arc tho ultraviolet rays may injure the eyes one guess is as rood as another. If exposure is frequent or prolonged damage may be done ct Q distance of fifteen or twenty feet.
