SURPRISE FIGURES

Marshall s m anpow er figures
came as surprise since tho
previous war department estimate,
made last January was for an
army of 100000 by the end Of
this year The upward revision
was believed due TO plans for vast
expansion Of the army air forces.
On February T. Marshall author
lied a war department disclosure
that the air force would have
100000 officers and men this
year land double that number
later on.
This would indicate that's the
other two components of the army
the ground forces and the Serv-
ices OF supply-will have a com
bined strength of 100000.
However. il was emphasized
that this country will not have a

Big Liquor Profit
Is ShOUn for State

Net profit from the operation of
Montana's 155 state owned liquor
stores for the first quarter of 1912,
was sl,205 ,559.76, the state liquor con-
troll board reported. This was Sl42,-
967ll greater than for the same period
in l94l.
Liquor sales for the three months
ended March 81 totaled S1,678. $50 90,
compared with 355,97199 for last
year, despite general increases in liquor
prices and higher taxes. The cost Of
liquor sold for the same period was
more than 100000 higher than for
the first quarter year ago.
While liquor profits scared, license
sales for the quarter dropped more
than $4,000 from the January March
figure of l94l Beer department re-
ceiptS we're off more than $4,000. The
total gross income for the 1912 period
was sl,379, O17.22, compared with ST.
235,849.9l for the 1941 quarter. Board
and operating expenses for the two
periods were almost identical.
Last month the net profit of the
system totaled s140.35498, the most
profitable month of 1912 and more
than $4,000 above the previous March
return.

CHANGES MADE
IN VOLUNTEER
WHEAT PROGRAM
FARMERS MAY PASTURE OR HAIR
VEST IT AND GET CONSER-
WALTON PAYMENTS

Changes that will allow wheat pro-
ducers to make full use of volunteer
wheat acreage in helping meet food
for freedom goals have been made by
the department Of agriculture. R. j.
McKenna. chairman of the Montana
AAA committee, announces.
Under the new ruling farmers may
pasture or harvest volunteer wheat
and still earn conservation and parity
payments if their acreage of seeded
wheat is within the AAA allotment
and they comply with other phases
of the program, store all harvested
volunteer wheat on the farm so long
as it is subject to marketing quota
penalty and seed within their 1913 al
lotments," McKenna says. Payments
for 1912 will be withheld until 1913
compliance is determined. but pro-
ducers may secure a commodity loan
of so percent of the usual rate on
farm-stored volunteer wheat. Loans, of
course, are dependent upon approval
of marketing quotas at the nationwide
referendum on May 2.
"Pasturing or cutting of volunteer
wheat for hay is encouraged as a
means of producing more dairy and
meat products" McKenna said. This
will help increase the supply of meat,
milk and dairy products which are
vitality needed and will help prevent
further Cutting of transportation and
storage facilities which are already
overcrowded with a wheat surplus that
is the largest in the nations history.
Pasturing of volunteer wheat when
followed by protected fallow or by
feed crops approved as 1912 soil
conserving uses, will be considered
soil-conserving uses in computing con-
servation payments"
Volunteer wheat, unless disposed of
by certain date, has been considered
as acreage seeded to wheat under
previous AAA programs and as such,
part of farms wheat acreage allot-
ment. This years volunteer crop is
generally more vigorous than usual
because of favorable fall and winter
moisture conditions.

BUTTER ATTANS
NEW HIGH RANK
MORE LIGHT SHED ON FACTOR
WHICH MAKES 1T SUPERIOR
TO OTHER FATS

When the complete story OF butter
fat is finally unraveled there will be
more and better reasons for saying:
There is no substitute for butter"
according to the National Dairy coun-
Gil
Further light has been shed recently
on the unknown factor which makes
butterfat superior TO all other fats In
promoting growth in laboratory ami
mails This new phase Of the work, Just
reported. is one of long series OF
studies on edible fats conducted over
period of years by a group of scien-
lists working at the University of Wis
consin. This group includes Prof. E. B.
Hart, who has long been known to
members of the dairy industry.
Earlier work showed that corn oil
is poor source of this unknown
groWth-promoting substance. There
fore, corn oil was used as a base to
which were added various treated frac-
tons of the butterfat In this way.
it was possible to compare the po-
tency in this growth promoting factor
of corn oil, various parts of butterfat,
and butterfat itself. AS result, the
saturated fatty acid fraction was found
+! to contain the active principal which
brings about superior growth in lab
oratory animals. The unsaturated frac-
ton did not promote growth.
Recently the Wisconsin scientists
tried new plan. They added hydro
gen to this inactive, unsaturated frac-
ton Of butterfat to make it saturated.
When this was fed, the best growth Of
all was obtained. This indicates that
| the unsaturated fraction of butterfat
contains the growth principal in an
| inactive form. When hydrogen is added.
| this inactive form is readily converted
to the active compound.
! Hart and his associates also tried
| INCORPORATION of corn oil, cocoanut oil,
cottonseed oil and soybean oil. When
/ these products were fed to laboratory
! animals, growth was retarded rather
! than increased These oils evidently
! contain neither the unsaturated nor
the active form OF the growth promot-
ing compound present in butterfat.
4 Butter, even more than was realized
before, makes incompatible contribu-
tons to the food value of family meals.
says the National Dairy council. This
new finding appears to make it par
ticularly important for growing chill
dren. In addition to containing the
newly-found vital, growth promoting
factor, butter is the only food fat in
which the important vitamin A occurs
naturally in significant amounts.

Kerch, the Crimea's Springboard
to the Caucasus

Ancient Greek tombs and temples Of the
Crimean Bosphorus side by side with iron
mines, oil wells, and metallurgic plants IN
the Kerch Peninsula attest the long history
of that region. The Germans, last fall, cap
tured this land projection between the Black
Sea and the Sea of Azov. The Russian win
ter offensive drove them out. Now there has
been heavy fighting again.
Apart from Sebastopol and it's e~nvirons,
the Kerch Peninsula was a last remaining
Soviet foothold on the Crimea. 1t stretches
eastward like a turtles head with wide-open
mouth toward the Taman Peninsula of the
western Caucasus. The two regions are
separated by the Strait of Kerch, at one point
only four miles wide.
The well-defined mountain ranges of the
southern Crimea end at the base of Kerch
Peninsula. Three types Of feather grass pro-
vide most Of the peninsula's natural vegeta-
ton. Reforestation has been pushed. Wheat,
barley, and fruits are grown.
Kerch, once a fourishing port with more
than $4,000 inhabitants, is the only big town
of the peninsula. The city is called Russia's
Pompeii because of it's ancient tombs and
relics.
One branch Of the Crimean railways ends
at Kerch. South Of the own are oil wells.
Nearby are the iron mines, once Kerch's
chief source of wealth. In the town were a
large steel mill and factories producing ferti-
lizer, tools, cotton textiles, sugar, and canned
foods. The port normally shipped iron ore,
asphalt, -four, tobacco, fish, and wool. Coal
for its mills was brought in from the Donets
basin. furthermore the peninsula has natural
curiosities such as mineral lakes and mail
mud volcanoes.

The Oldest Runic Inscription

In the pleasant fruitful plain Of East Got
land, which is held to be the cradle of Swed-
ish civilization, stands the most remarkable
stone with runic inscription in all Sweden.
Archaeologists have tried for seventy
years to decipher it without being able, so
far, to boast Of unqualified success. Yet the
inscription is as clear and distinct as if it
had been chiseled into the stone but yester-
day. Evidently a master chisled it.
Apparently the inscription tells a family
tragedy of the ninth century before Christ.
According to the runes, so far as they have
been deciphered, an old man named Warm
laments the murder of his son and grieves
that he is too old to wreak vengence on the
murderer. So he calls upon his younger son
to avenge his brother. Then he heaps bitter
curses upon the slayer and invokes the aid
Of the Gods to strengthen and encourage the
younger to fulfill the pledge of retribution in
his fathers place.
That part Of the inscription which consists
Of magical formulas, has SO far defied trans
lation by scholars. 1t seems to have been
written in runes of a secret mystic language.
The stone, known as Rokstone, is named for
the place of its discovery in the Rok COM
munity, is one Of the most interesting monu-
ments Of prehistoric Sweden, recalling a
remote age when the belief in magic still
prevailed and the law of an eye for an eye
was taken literally.
