BEHIND THE SCENES IN
AMERICAN BUSINESS
By John Craddock

NEW NOUN Wars bring new
words--or bring back old ones in new
attire. Remember 'camouflage,"
"strafning," "canteen" and dough
boy" of World War L? Here's a
brand-new one, child of World
War q: "imagineering." A combina-
ton of Imagination and engineering,
it's defined as "the fine art of de-
Gliding where we go from here" and
it just grew (like Topsy) in the re-
search laboratories of Aluminium Co.
of America. With the war program
taking all present output, and with
the vastly expanded capacity threat
ening to create terrific SURPRISES af-
ter the war, researches in aluminium
AS in many other industries-are
burning the midnight oil to develop
imaginative" new uses for their
products. That'll serve the double
purpose of helping boost general nv
ing standards and keeping industry
from being "becalmed" after the
war. ''Imagineering" seemed to des-
cribe this sort of research pretty
well.

SPECIALISTS--With . wartime
job to do, Americas poultrymen look
to further specialization, and wider
use Of efficient production methods,
to reach the 1912 goal Of four billion
dozen eggs and $50 million "eating'
chickens. Production Of poultry as q
"cash crop" has increased greatly in
eastern states in the last 10 years.
Howard C. Pierce. specialist for the
A & p, told the U. of Missouri poul-
try products short course. He cited
the example of Delaware poultrymen,
who went into mass production meth
DDS to supply the mass distributors
for large eastern markets, and found
the combination of efficiency in both
production and distribution return
ing larger portion of the con-
sumer's poultry dollar to the pro-
Queer. Delaware poultrymen have, in
fact, increased the number OF
chickens sold by l73 per cent in the
than 100000 day-old chicks go
into brooder houses every week on
the Delaware Maryland Virginia PEN
insula. Most of these are raised for
the table.

Time for Action
Cincinnati Ennuirerl

The recent warning to labor leaders that they may not incite wildcat strikes either directly n- directly is step in the right directonbut it isn't long enough
 The statement from the National War Labor Board indicates that the board suspects labor leaders of melting some of the recent wakouts under the guise of popular demand It declares that any union which feels that it may bring about strike which appears to be a spontaneous demonstration by the rank and file but which actually is the brain child of union leaders must expect to be dealt with harsh ly by the board" Several weeks ago the board threatened, if wildcat strikes continued invoke the laws of treason
 It would seem to nation bending every effort toward production for victory, that the time for warnings had passed in the matter of unauthorized strikes. Warnings have been issued by the score over period of months It now is up to the NWLB to act rather than talk.
 It IS true that wildcat strikes have been compara- lively small, both in number and in men involved But ln such critical times live even small barriers in the path of production of treme importance The strikes have another bearing on the defense situation however-that of morale of workers both in and out of the armed services
 Soldiers, sailors, and marines. reading of men quitting work without authority due to some fancied or real-grievance, wonder at system which al- lows civilian producers to quit because they draw only S1 an hour while the service lads draw $50 month, risk their lives, and cant quit, matter what conditions the fortunes of impose them
 By far the majority of American workmen, real lzing the necessity of the times stay the jobs while their demands for additional wages or altered working conditions being studied. It is unfair to them if the small minority indulgng in unauthor- zed strikes, not brought immediately to task for their actions.

CHApLAiN5 NOW
 WAIVED BY NAVY

SEATTLE, Nov 16. - An urgent call for chaplains for immediate service with naval forces both at sea and ashore was issued today by the Office of Naval Officer Procurement of the Thirteenth Naval District, Seattle.
 ''The procurement of chaplains for the Naval Reserve has failed to meet the needs of the Service and, as result, a serious shortage will result unless there is con- siderable increase in the number of applicants" said Captain w. j.. Giles, director of Officer Procure ment.
 "The duties of Navy chaplain are primarily religious There are additional duties, however, which fall to his lot that are not the privileged responsibility of the ay- craze civilian Pastor or Parish h Priest. These additional duties are in connection with activities pro- noted in the Navy for the ad- vancement of the mental, moral and physical, as well as the spiri- tual welfare of the personnel"
 To be eligible for service as a chaplain, candidate must be a fully ordained minister in the church he represents; have com pleted four years of college or uni versity work for bachelor degree plus three years of work in Theo-
