the four-army organization Of land forces,
gave his approval to the Garand semi-auto-
matte rifle as a superior basic weapon and
recognized the potential defensive character
of the Civilian Conservation Corps.
With this start made he was off TO the
Philippines, heading the American Military
Mission to organize the islands defenses.
That his work has been effective Is demon
Strated by the Skillful and determined defense

General Macarthur was 62 on January
26. Yet, he looks more like AZ.
The healthful routine Of his daily life
keeps him in physical trim. He watches his
weight. He judges his health by his weight.
He stands S feet IL in his stocking feet, and
he weighs 165 pounds. He enjoys good story
and a good smoke He used TO smoke Gig
arettes through long holder. But in recent
years he has confined himself to cigars. Made
in Manila, they bear the name Douglas Mac
Arthur" The name is special tribute from
Philippine tobacconistS. He usually lights up
his first cigar at mid-morning.
He Is uneasy and aloof in crowds This
attitude, however, Is not based upon any
SuperciliousneSs Of viewpoint, but upon an
innate Shyness among large numbers of peo-
pie. Yet, he Is poised always, is easy and
graceful, even brilliant, In conversation. He
prefers small informal gatherings of intimate
friends or individuals with whom he has buSi-
ness to transact. He dislikeS ostentatious and
elaborate display and attention, such as long
formal receiving lines.

Yeast Will Double Its
Weight Every Two Hours

We learn from the Scientific Amer
lean that, under ideal conditions
at 30 degrees, centigrade-yeast will
double it's weight every two hours.
This means that a pound Of yeast
placed in ideal conditions for In
creased growth at eight o'clock on
Monday morning will have attained
a weight of 1000 pounds by eight
o'clock the following morning. From
one pound to more than two tons in
"a hours!
And that isn't all. BY $3.50 o'clock
on the following Monday morning
less than seven days from the hour
at which that one pound Of yeast
began to grow-it will have reached
a weight equal to that of the earth.
From one pound to 6, followed by
81 ciphers, tons in less than one
week!
Before plunging headlong into the
yeast business on the basis of these
figures, however, it may be worth
while to pause and consider that the
yeast will have consumed many
times its own weight in food during
the week of growth.

why Colony Failed

Like every other commumistic eff
fort in the United States the Shaker
colonies failed. In one way they
were the most successful Of all such
experiments, for the Shakers were
excellent farmers and made the
most of their extensive land hold
ings. They have virtually disap-
peared. They had no children.
They left behind them one idea
which since their time has come into
universal use-the putting Of gar
den and flower seeds into little paper
packages for sale. For more than
20 years-roughly from 1920 to 1910
the Shakers at Union village, near
Lebanon, supplied Cincinnati with
seeds. They had such reputation
for good seed corn and for blue
grass, timothy and clover seed that
they had a virtual monopoly.
Still, good farmers as they were,
occasionally they did umaccolmtable
things. There was colony near
Dayton, the leader Of which forbade
the pruning of orchard trees, say
ing it was a wicked attempt to inn
prove upon the work of God. II
trees were intended to be pruned,
God would have pruned them, was
his argument. The consequence was
that in few years the orchard at
that colony was total failure.

Iananese and Chinese

Excluding the granting Of citizen
ship by Gus soil" fright Of soil)
to Japanese and Chinese born in
this country, there were only two
periods in the history Of the United
States when Japanese and Chinese
could have become citizens. The
first naturalization act IN 1790 ap-
Piled only to ''free white persons"
but between 1873-75 the words, free
white persons were omitted by err
TOR and during that period Japanese
and Chinese could have been legally
naturalized although none were. The
second period was between June "A,
1895, and January l, 1887. An act
of June "a, 1885, provided that any
alien veteran Of the World war
might be naturalized, If certain CON.
ditions were met, provided the petit
ton for citizenship was fled with Q
court having naturalization jurisdic-
ton between June "A, 1885, and Janus
airy /. 1887.

MD. PRISONERS TO GET FREE
DOM FOR FARM WORK

Inmates of Maryland's penal in
situations whose prison records are
satisfactory and who have less than
three years of their terms to serve
were eligible beginning June IL for
Communication of sentences, provided
they agreed to work on farms In
different parts of the state.
Governor O'Conor recently an
nounced the new plan after series
of conferences with Herman M.
Moser, parole commissioner, and
Willis R. Jones, chairman OF the
State Board of Correction.
The governor said, however, that
the plan in no way was to be inter-
preted as "a wholesale effort to
empty the states prisons involved
the Penitentiary, the House of
Correction and the State Penal
Farm
For the past two months farmers
on the Eastern Shore particularly,
and in Southern and Western Mary
land have been confronted with an
acute labor shortage with the ap-
proach of the harvesting season.

SHOCK SERUM TREATMENT
REPORTED

DR.. Henry N. Harkins of the
Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, re-
Gently told the American Medical
Association that the common apple
and orange have been called upon
by medical science to produce new
and vital serum for the treatment
of persons affected by shock.
! He said intravenous injection Of
the new solution-the pectin jelly
solutions-has been successfully
tested on air raid victims as well
as those shocked by surgical opera
tions and other causes.
DR.. Harkins asserted that the
success of his new serum, which can
be prepared from apples and GER
tain portions Of the orange, will
eliminate the use of blood plasma
for the treatment Of shock.

THE DENTIST, YOUR CHILD
AND YOU

"The family dentist should be
considered as friendly guardian
of ones health, is the advice of
DR.. Richard G. Leonard, Chief, Di-
vision of Oral Hygiene, Maryland
State Department of Health. 1T is
particularly essential DR.. Leonard
said, "that children have this atti-
tude towards dentists. A recent
bulletin from the American Dental
Association stresses this health
factor, as follows:
early establishment of dental
health habits will help a child thru
out life. Habits of neglect are diff
cult to overcome in later years,
when strong, clean teeth are vital to
health and happiness.
Parents should teach the child
that the dentist is his friend. They
should not allow him to receive the
impression that visit to the dem
fist means unpleasantness and pain.
Such impressions are usually Great
ed in a child's mind before he ever
sees the dentist. Often, they are
created by careless conversation and
by misinformation given out by old
er children and even by older mem
bers of his family.
Parents can prevent fear in the
child by taking him to the dentist
before the teeth are decayed. Thus,
the first visit will consist of an
examination only. Subsequent visits
will consist of simple cleaning or,
at the, most, the painless filling of
small cavities. 1t is grave mistake
to SO neglect child's teeth that his
first visit to the dentist must be as
sociated with pain.
Parents should use positive rath-
er than negative, methods in teach
ing children the need for dental
care. Don't exaggerate the horrors
of tooth-ache. Stress the value of
clean, healthy teeth. Instill in your
child pride in his teeth. Children
will look on the dentist as their
friend provided that thought is i'm
planted by their parents.
"A child should become caquaint-
ed with the atmosphere of dental
Office and the ministrations of the
dentist at two and a half or three
years of age.

LABOR LEADERS SPLIT

The ong-smoldering feud be-
between Philip Murray, head of the
CLIO, and his former chief, John L..
Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, blazed into action at the
meeting of the executive board and
policy committee of the Mine Work
ers in Washington. After a dramatic
session at which Lewis referred to
Murray as his former friend
against which expression the CLIO
president protested with emotion
he declared Murray's Office of vice
president of the UNIV to be "va-
can't, and appointed successor.
Murray had come to the meeting
as the president of the newly form
ed United Steel Workers Union,
which pays him $4,000 year, but
he had expressed a desire to con-
tinue as vice president of the Min
ers without the $4,000 salary of
the Office. Lewis acted on the UNIV
constitution which forbids an Off
GER holding more than one job at a
time. Murray was charged at the
Miners meeting with having stood
silent while campaign of insult,
injury and SANDER" was launched
against the organization efforts of
District SO of UNIV. It was this or
.ganization, of wide scope, which
undertook to organize the dairy
farmers.
The strained feeling between
Lewis and Murray apparently began
last January, when Lewis, on his
own initiative, suggested renewal
of peace conferences between the
CLIO and the ALL. Murray replied
that such move would have to orig
mate with the president of the CLIO,
and President Roosevelt backed him
up in his opposition to Lewis. Later,
Lewis asserted that the CLIO owed
the Mine Workers $1,665,000 for
money advanced, and suggested that
repayment be made by crediting
the UNIV from this amount in the
payment of its monthly per capita
of $4,000. Murray argued that the
money was a contribution to the
CLIO and not q loan.
Lewis, in busting Murray as in
ternational vice president of the
Miners, was backed by his policy
committee II to one. The Clio re-
sponded by removing Lewis broth
er-in-law, J. R. Bell. as comptroller
of that organization. The UNIV
came back by stripping authority
from one of its district presidents
who had supported Murray 1t also
declared by resolution that until the
CLIO recognised Its debt, resumed
peace negotiations with the ALL as
suggested by Lewis and ceased at
tacks on District so the UNIV

First Chief Justice
Had Letter Trouble

When John Jay, first chief justice
of the United States, received let
ter from a political friend, he pru-
IDENTIFY crossed out any discriminating
passage before putting the letter in
his files.
When his agent, Silas Deane, wrote
to him, he was ordered to use an
invisible ink, which Jay could make
visible temporarily, and then permit
to fade again
But these precautions are not
proof against the prying eyes of
science. Historians and chemists,
working together at the Henry E.
Huntington library in San Marine,
Calf, have deciphered four letters
in jays collection. The letters
turned out to be not very important,
but the methods they devised may
later uncover important historical
data.
The scratched-over writing was
made out by en1arging photostatic
copy, and microscopically distin-
gushing between the strokes Of the
original writing and the heavy
strokes superimposed.
The invisible writing was made
legible by irradiation with ultra
violet light, and, in one case, by the
use of light from the other end Of
the spectrum, the red and infra-red.
Chemical analysis succeeded in
discovering the composition Of the
ink, even though the letters were
written 100 years ago. Deane wrote
with fannie acid, and Jay brought
out the writing by sponging with
solution Of copperas, or ferrous sui
plate.

Unusually Hard Steel
Used in Industries


Tool materials harder than any
tool steel have been increasingly
used in Woodworking industries,
Philip M. McKenna says In Indus
trial and Engineering Chemistry.
Examples are tungsten carbide
cemented with cobalt, compositions
Of tantalum carbide with tungsten
and nickel, and the same compost
tons with titanium carbide.
The commercial success Of these
new tool materials has stimulated
study Of high-melting metals and
compounds. Tantalum carbide pos
sesses the highest melting point Of
all substances, with the possible ex-
ception Of hafnium carbide. Since
other valuable physical and chem.
ical properties are associated with
it, the increasing technical use Of
tantalum carbide for high-duty serv-
ices OF all kinds appear to be inevi-
table.
Compositions Of tantalum carbide
have been employed in spray noz-
zles for chemicals. The metallic
material has a hardness much great
er than steel and noncorrosive prop
critics which approach platinum. One
alloy has strength Of 275, 000
pounds a square inch, and a hard
ness much harder than the hardest
steel. That a metal composition
possessing this combination Of phys
ical and chemical properties is des-
tined to play a large part in chem
ical industry seems obvious.

JOBS FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS

The president of the United States
Chamber of Commerce recently gave
the fighting men of America reas-
on to hope that business and 1ndus-
try will have jobs for them when
thew come back from the war. He
said that the country could not al
low such a period of economic stag
nation as followed the first 'World
War.
These words will be cheering TO
service men who may be doing a
little worrying about what they are
going to do when the war Is over
The service men see their jobs al
ready filed, and some of them may
wonder if it will be so difficult TO
dismiss the people who are now do
ing the work, so that the returned
soldier will find himself out on the
street.
This was often the case after the
first World War, when many sol
diers felt the country had been hard
on them. 1t had sent them off to war
with the most enthusiastic cheers,
but when they got back and many OF
them were out of work, some OF
these fellows may have felt they
were forgotten.
One thing that will help keep the
service men at work is disposition
to encourage business, and remove
obstacles to business progress. Peo-
nle sometimes think business is
making more money then it should.
But when business is profitable, 1t
is tremendous incentive to bust
ness to employ all the labor 1t can
get. so there are plenty of jobs IN
der those conditions.

Now Missouri Savants
Say II Isn't Mud I!

There is an old saying Missouri
mud can be used for almost any,
thing. But the mud used today in
industry as an aid to feminine
beauty, greasing the axles Of
wagons, putting q sparkle to fine
glass and q variety Of other things,
isn't mud and doesn't come from
Missouri, according to DR.. Glenn G.
Bartle, acting dean and chairman Of
the geology department at the Uni
versity of Kansas City.
DR.. Bartle was commenting on a
recent report Of four researchers at
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology who are analysing Missouri
mud and explaining why It's uses
are so versatile.
1.-THE substance properly known as
Missouri mud which is valuable In
industry" DR.. Bartle said, sis clay
containing Bentonite. It is found in
great deposits in the Fort Benton
shales Of the upper Missouri valley
In Montana. The mud in this part
of the country has no commercial
value, since it contains Bentonite In
only insignificant quantities"
DR.. Bartle explained that the Ben
tonite which lends prestige to ordi-
nary mud was the product of volca-
noes. After the substance has laid
In the open and ''weathered," 1t con-
sists Of layers Of crystallites which
are themselves layers Of silicon and
aluminium atoms bound together
with oxygen bridges.

REDUCED TO RAYON

AS the supplies diminished, the
prcies increased on silk and nylon
hosiery and the vain among us paid
and will pay to the last pair rather
than appear in anything but the
finest sheathing. But there will come
q time when all our money can't
buy glamorous hosiery and no
amount of wheedling will help.
There just won't be any. Until then
the wise woman will save her silk
and nylons for dress and evening
wear and will be satisfied with ray
ons and cottons about the house and
on the street. And that will be only
training for the day when it will be
rayon and cotton around the clock.

 Hartford, Conn, Sept. 17-(UP) Lester Barlow, Stamford inventor was allowed a place on the state ballot today as an Independent Re- publican candidate for Congress from the fourth district.
 Barlow will oppose the regular Republican nominee, Mrs. Clare Boothe Luce, Greenwich.
 Barlow was among the candidates at the Republican nominating con- vention last week, but secured only two of the 86 votes. The other S4 went to Mrs. Luce.
 Secretary of State Mrs. Chase Going Woodhouse said Barlow's pe- tition contained some 2,200 sigma lures, or enough to legally entitle him to spot on the ballot.
 His entrance into the Congress sional race involved the campaign in Fairfield county where Demo- crats were expected to renominate Leroy Downs, Norwalk, Saturday.
 Socialists also were expected to put up a candidate. Socialists poll ed 4,262 votes in the 1940 elections in which Downs, with the aid of 250 Union party votes, gained the seat with a plurality of 953.
