|WPB 10 Consider
Gas Cutoff in Homes

Oficials in the enforcement divi-

planned conferences today to de-
termine whether to order gas turned

ment in the light of the residents
determination to appeal a District
Court rejection Of their plea for an
injunction that would have gotten
them the gas.
The So tenants of the development
are fighting WPB order that would
force the conversion of their fur
naces from gas to coal. The order
forbids the delivery of gas to fur
naces in new houses whose construc-
ton was not in a certain state OF
progress last March /. The tenants
have been granted special extensions
that kept the order from applying
to them.
Noon Deadline.
A deadline of noon today was ten
tatively set by attorneys following
yesterdays decision by Justice F.
Dickinson Let's, as the time the gas
would be turned off If the residents
decided to appeal.
At meeting last night, the house
holders decided to seek a reversal by
the United States Court of Appeals
of the ruling. They also sent tele-
gram to President Roosevelt asking
him to intervene in their behalf In
the controversy that began with the
installation of gas furnaces in the
houses last spring.
The wife of Elwood E. Stump, al
whose home the meeting was held
last night, today expressed the
plight that number Of the resi-
dents will be in If the gas is turned

she said
The residents contended in their
plea for injunction that their houses
should be exempted from the WIPE
order because the builders interpret
ed the order as not applying te
these dwellings, The order forbade
the delivery of gas to houses whose
foundations were not completed by
March l. Only the footings of the
River Terrace houses had beer
poured by that date.
Ask Enforcement Ban.
The tenants asked the court tc
prevent the WPB from enforcing
the stop delivery order.
The development company AL
ready has ordered the coal furnaces
and plans to go ahead with their in
stallation Immediately. Some OF the
coal furnaces are believed to have
arrived in the city from the manu-
facturer.
The residents claim their houses
are unsuited for coal furnaces, con-
tending that coal dust will be blown
throughout the dwellings by fans
that are already installed.
The telegram to President Roose.
welt follows:
I'VE the citizens of River Terrace
appeal in behalf of our children
our aged and the ones those in the
armed forces have left behind, that
you prevent the WPB from making
us be scapegoats OF a fight we do
not want.
I'VE are fighting only for our
rights, while the WPB. in threaten
ing to freeze our children, wants
only to establish its control over our
lives.
I'VE pray you help us and our
children that we may live without
fear that we cannot have fuel pure
ly because of a grudge fight between
others.
I'VE are appealing to the courts,
but in the meantime we face win

fever. will keep out the bacteria, but
otherwise they will remain in the
tnteStines throughout life.
Normally in the intestines, DR..
Martin explained, there are good
and bad bacteria. The good bac-
terra synthesize various factors OF
the vitamin B complex. The COW,
for example, is able to synthesize
in its stomach virtually all the B
complex factors.
By feeding the good bacteria to
q person, DR.. Martin said, they soon
would become predominant In the
intestines, driving out the bad ones,
They would thus synthesize neces-
sary food substances, eliminate the
bacteria which destroy these food
substances and change cellulose,
ordinarily undigestible. TO sugar
which is utilizable as food.
Nazis Use Idea.
THE Importance OF intestinal bsc-
terial synthesis of various members
OF the B complex cannot be over
emphasized" DR.. Martin said. 1T
is reported that the Germans have
appreciated this and thus have
made 1t possible for their soldiers

M-PIus Women
Are Best Workers

LONDON, April 9. CUP)-Women
over 40 make the best factory work
ers. That is the verdict of works
managers all over Britain. The older
women, the bosses point out, are
more thorough, reliable and willing
to learn.
When the younger girl goes into
a factory she does it usually to es-
cape conscription in the services
or because she doesn't want to leave
home. She is a dissatisfied worker,
refuses dirty work or difficult
task.
Although many young girls do
their work well, the older women
are more conscientious and better
humored, because they volunteered
for war. Their children are groWr
up, and they have their homes gear
ed to run themselves.
Some women of SO and 60, with
snowy white hair. are doing excel.
lent war work. One such elderly
woman begged SO hard to hell
that they gave her the only job sht
was able to do-sWeeping a larg,
workshop.
