HOW HOUSEWIVES CAN HELP
WIN THE WAR

Multiply the lilo pound of metal
in every new window-shade roller
by the so million window shades
bought annually, and it totals up
to million pounds of metal =. :
enough to- build 100000 machine
guns or 430 light tanks.
That's why it's patriotic as well
as thrifty to use your old rollers
when you buy new window shades.
At your 5-and-10 or neighborhood
stores. you'll find shades that attach
easily to old rollers without tools
or tacks. A patented gummed strip
does the trick in jiffy What's
more, these shades are made of
sturdy fibre, use no most essential
material, come in wide range of
colors, look for all the world like
costly shades, yet cost only 10 cents
and Is cents.
Their low price makes 1t possible
always to have crisp, fresh shades
at your windows. Many women
change them every time they house,

TO KEEP THE BABY WELL

The State Health Department
calls attention to this advice from
the Bureau of Child Hygiene on
keeping the baby we'll in the sum-
mer:
During the hot summer months
by far the most outstanding peril
to the health of infants less than 2
years of age is diarrhea. A wise
mother, therefore, is one who takes
the trouble to learn bit about the
causes and dangers of this disease
and takes steps to prevent it's oc-
currence.
"The four chief causes which lead
to diarrhea should be remembered
by the mother.
/. Poor state of nutrition, due to
irregular and improper feeding; or
to lack of vitamins, especially cod
liver oil and orange or tomato juice.
2. The summer heat which lowers
digestive capacity.
8. Lack of cleanliness such as un-
boiled milk, dirty or soiled hands
and feeding utensils, and flies.
A. A ''cold", sore throat or some
other infection.
early danger signs are listless-
ness, refusal of food and possibly
vomiting. Then the stools begin to
be watery and more frequent.
what to do? Try to keep your
baby in excellent health by taking
him to child health conference, a
baby clinic, or your private doctor.
Feed him according to the doctors
orders and do not neglect to give
him his orange juice and cod liver
oil daily. Feed the baby at regular
times. Boil his milk for s minutes,
or you can use canned evaporated
milk with an equal amount of boiled
water. Wash his bottles and nipples
with soap and water and boil them
before using.
Screen your house from flies.
Wash your hands before handling
the baby. Keep him away from sick
people.
WhCA tHC WC0tAOA 10 VOL Ala SAeA
the baby shows any tendency toward
a digestive upset reduce the amount
of his food and give him plenty of
boiled water. Do not make the mis-
take made by many mothers of try
ing to force the baby to eat more
food because he is losing weight and
having diarrhea. When diarrhea
starts, it is urgent that all food be
stopped for from ~ to "a hours
and small sips of boiled water may
be given frequently. When the stools
are more normal start the milk
again in small amounts and be sure
to boil it.
Consult your doctor early-as
soon as diarrhea starts. The baby
can be cured more easily if he is
treated early"

New Style Cast Iron Sinks

Fitting today's low cost market Of
military, naval and defense hous-
ing, plumbing manufacturers have
designed new styles Of enameled
cast iron fiat-rim sinks.
These new sinks range in length
from "a to go inches. All are q
inches wide for building into metal
or wood cabinets. The length of the
sink is determined by the style.
The 60-inch model has two basins
and two drainboards; the 24-inch
fixture is a single compartment
fiat rim modelfor building in. These
new low price sinks made their
debut with two other types: the
single compartment double drain
board style, and the single compart-

CANNING FACTORIES FACE SER
IOUs LABOR SHORTAGE

Gamers may experience a labor
shortage during the coming season,
according to a survey OF canning
house labor requirements in Mary
land made recently by DR., S. H. De-
Vault and r. F. Burdette of the ag-
ricultural experiment station.
The survey shows that during
the first week in July canning hous-
es in the state will employ about
1900 workers. The labor require
ments will increase each week there
after until the last week in August
or the first week in September, when
about 24,500 workers should be
employed. The greatest labor short
age will probably occur between
August 20 and September 10. At
that time Gamers and farmers will
be competing for labor to pick and
can tomatoes.
1t is estimated that canning fac
tories will need almost 5000 more
workers than were employed during
the peak of the season last year. I'm
less these workers can be recruited
from outside the local area, Gamers
may experience considerable diff
Guilty in handling the tomato crop.
In 1941, tomato canneries operated
at only 20 percent of capacity and
several factories did not operate be-
cause they could not obtain sufficient
labor. The acreage of tomatoes for
canning in Maryland has been in
creased 23-percent in 1912 over
1871, and present weather condi-
lions indicate better than average
yield. Eight factories in the state
that did not operate in 1941 plan to
can tomatoes this year, and six fac
tories that have been canning other
products in the past plan to can to-
matoes also this year.
Most Gamers report that the
shortage of women for peeling to-
matoes will be more critical than
the shortage of men for other op-
erations. During the first week in
September, 1941, Gamers employed
Ie4,118 workers, of which 11,974
or 81 percent, were women. Can
ners estimate that they will need
about 10000 women during that
period in 1912.
Nearly all Gamers pay tomato
peelers at certain rate per bucket,
but, In some instances, the slower
peelers must be paid bonus be-
cause they are unable to make the
minimum hourly wage rate. Paying
a bonus to the slower workers tends
to discourage the faster workers
and, as a rule, most Gamers will not
continue to employ anyone who can
not make the minimum hourly wage
when paid on a piece rate basis.
Gamers report that many house
wives, elderly people and school
girls are available and anxious to
work in the canning factories, but
they do not apply for work because
they cannot earn the minimum
hourly rate.

Found guilty on charges of con- duct unbecorning an officer by the board of police commissioners yes- terday Motor Patrolman Alfred J. Overton, a veteran of 24 years poe lice service, was reduced one grade in rank for 8 period of one year.
 The charge was preferred by Raymond J. Charbonneau of IF Stillson road, who claimed Patrol man Overton pulled him from his car and struck him the night of June 9 on Smith avenue while he was taking a young woman home.
 The woman referred to is Mrs. Evelyn Read of Over street, who appeared at the board meeting yes- terday and testified in behalf of Patrolman Overton, whom she said she Is engaged to marry. Mrs. Read said that she went riding with Charbonneau Tuesday night and he made improper advances toward her while parked ten min- uteS on Smith avenue. She had jumped from the car when Patrol man OVerton, on duty, arrived on the scene, she said.
 Charbonneau said Mrs. Reads story was 8 complete falsefood Members of the police board indi- cated that the story told by Mrs Read yesterday differed absolutely from the story she gave investigat- ing police officers the night of the incident.
 The board went into executive session more than an hour before taking public vote on the guilt of the patrolman. They said the re- duction in grade will mean a dif- ference of about $l.75 weekly in the patroln1an's salary.
 Charbonneau said he went out with Mrs. Read Tuesday after hay ing met her the previous Saturday at Lakewood. "She made the date," he said.
 When returning home he said she suddenly ducked under the dashboard and told him to keep going" He said that Mrs. Read had seen the police car approach ing. He drove into Smith avenue, which is a dead-end street and was there only ten seconds when the police car approached again, he said.
 Ofacer Overton got out, put Mrs. Read into the police car and then opened the Charbonneau car door and hit Charbonneau, looseninR a tooth and cutting the inside of his lip, the complaining witness said.

Accused Patrolrnan
 Reduced One Grade
Conflicting Stories Told at Hearing of Charges Against
 Officer Alfred OvertOn; Civil Action Tinted

Ofacer Overton's version of the story was that when he approached the Charbonneau car which had been parked on Smith avenue ten minutes, Mrs. Read came running toward him. "She said she had been lnistreated," he said.
 The ofilcer continued that he then went to the Charbonneau car and was greeted with the query, What the hell do you want?" In reaching into the car the ring on his finger must have struck Charbonneau causing the cut lip, the officer said.
 Attorney Fred Bauby appeared for Patrolman Overton.
 It Is understood that Charbon- lleau has retained Attorney William J. Secor for possible further action in the case.
 Deputy Chief Daniel J.' Carson, Capt. Fred Hickey and Sergeant Joseph Petit who investigated Charbonneau's complaint, also tes. tihed at the hearing.

their early twenties, and that the balance was made up of men S1 and over.
 The German and the Italian cap- italists benefit from the operation of FasciSm in their countries. They cannot be expected not to defend 1t. Nor can the Ilon-capitalist benefici- aries of German and Italian capita lism-the bureaucrats, the conscious servants of class rule-be expected to work for the establishment of a system in which they and their masters would not be tolerated.
 The only element in Germany and in Italy capable of working to the benefit of the German and the Ital- ian peoples is the working class, the first and chief victims of German and of Italian capitalism. The workers of Europe and elsewhere have made terrible mistakes. They have allowed themselves to be led into slavery and slaughter. They have not relied unreservedly on their class interests. They have never organized exclusively for the task of abolishing capitalism and establishing Socialism. The fault has not been theirs entirely. Capita Msm has had too much at stake not to use labor fakers and other betrayers, to use educational, "re- ligious," and other influences to keep the workers prepared for what they are now receiving. The tech- nique of the capitalists, adopted of necessity, Is to maintain a ,aer- manent crisis, to bring the workers successively from one all-out effort to another, benumbing the minds of the people to the sullen acceptance of that which capitalism brings.
 Yet the workers are capable of organizing for freedom. The tragedy is that, in Europe. the organization may come only after more millions have been slaughtered, millions more starved. It would be idle to point out what might have been if the workers of Europe had organ ized themselves on Socialist lines to overthrow capitalism before the war of 19l4.16. It is, however, not idle to point out that e repetition of the present and of the past may be averted if the workers throw of all ties to class rule and, refusing to listen to those who would keep a society that has produced Fascism and Nazisin, build the society of peace, freedom and plenty, advo- cated by the Socialist Labor Party.
 The great lesson that history is trying to teach us is: capitalism must be destroyed Our failure to learn that lesson and to act upon tt will be nothing short of calami- tous. It will doom our generation and the generation which follow us to- the industrial serfdorn which, even now, is imposed upon the toil- CTS over large areas of the earth. It wnl frlistrate progress, subvert vcience and rob those who follow uk of their birthright--the right to peace and plenty under an order of cooperation, harmony and, de- n1ocracy; the right to live in 8 world N which no man. wears a saddle md po master is booted end sruryed 6r . free ride.
