ARMY STUDIES POSSIBILITIES
OF USING DEHYDRATED MEATS

Mrs American Housewife soon
may be able to go to her cupboard
and select T-bone steak or prime
rib roast, add little water, and
presto! dinner is almost ready
Not only that, the doughboy in
the field may be able to reach in his
knapsack and pull out nice juicy
hamburger that was given to him
possibly three months before.
These are some of the possibilities
which may result from experiments
conducted by the University of Cali
fornia Agricultural College with de-
| hydrated meats.
Similar in principal to dehydrated
soups, vegetables and fruits, where
all the water is removed to prevent
spoilage and save weight, the de-
hydrated meat has been developed
to such fine point that dried beef
and pork can be turned into salts
factory hamburger patties or meat
loaves simply by adding water and
cooking.

head of the unversity's home eco
Monies division, and DR.. Betty M.
Watts, home economics instructor,
in cooperation with the Western
Regional Research laboratory at
Albany, California.
The beef and pork were ground
and dried raw, with oat -four added
to keep the meat from turning ran

Still to be solved, according to
Drs. Morgan and Watts, are the
problems of drying large cuts of
meat such as roasts and steaks and
determining the minimum water
content of dehydrated meats.

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROLS

keep 'em Safe" is the Keystone
Automobile Clubs slogan for the
school term about to begin In a bull
letin directed to motor vehicle driv-
ers, the Club strongly urges their
cooperation with School Safety Pa
trolls in an effort to prevent death
or injury to children.
Even with wartime traffic reduc-
ed by rationing, the Club points
out, there is need for the greatest
caution on the part of motorists, If
accidents to children are to be
avoided. 1t is emphasized that many
little boys and girls will be attend
ing school for the first time and will
require some weeks to become ia
miliar with safety practices taught
in most of the schools. Meanwhile,
they are apt to do the unexpected
in crossing streets, circumstance
which should make motorists all the
more careful.
Safety Patrol and safety educa-
ton in the schools have been re-
sponsbile for the saving of many
lives in the last decade, Mr.. Curran
said. He also took occasion to define
the limitations of Safety Patrol ac-
tivities. The function of the patrols,
he declares, is to keep children on
the sidewalks until it is safe for
them to cross streets. Under no cir
cumstances are the boys trained by
KevstOne Dermitted to interfere
with or direct vehicular traffic,
which is entirely outside the pro-
vince of the school patrols.

WAR BOOSTS NEED OF SOAP

American soap makers are COM
mended by the Department of Com
merce in its weekly bulletin do
nestle Commerce." for their success
in maintaining the quality of their
product in spite of wartime handi-
caps. Calling attention to the fact
that even in peace-times the United
States uses more soap per >capita
than any other country, the Depart
ment says:
Because production and sale of
soap reached new peak in volume
last year, it would be wrong to as
sumo that easy times were the rule
for the manufacturers Far from it.
Many problems confronting these
manufacturers might have been al
most insurmountable, since the
complexities were of foreign as we'll
as domestic origin. But problems
only stimulate some industries. The
soap makers research programs had
to be accelerated so that formulas
might be adjusted to conditions"
Thus far the war has increased
rather than diminished the use of
soap in this country. While the
weekly soap ration of people in Oc-
cupied Europe is an ounce and a
quarter and in England five ounces,
the weekly per capita soap consump-
ton in the United States is eight
ounces.
In the frantic search for soap fats
and fat substitutes European ma
lions according to Domestic Com
merce," are even using pumpkins
and melons.

u. s. TO CRACK DOWN ON
PRICE VIOLATORS

Declaring that there must be con-
troll of farm prices, wages and 'fat-
tening corporate profits, Federal
Price Administrator Leon Hender-
son threatens to crack down on vio-
lators of price regulations and rent
controls, and said the nation has
reached the midnight hour" in its
battle against imitation.
Henderson in an address before
the Research Institute of America
and the Sales Executive Club of New
York, declard that SO far the Office
of Price Administration had been
tolerant in enforcing price and rent
control regulations.
But from now on, Henderson
said: ST say to those in business and
industry who have seen violators
apparently going unpublished that
the time of our tolerance is past.
Henderson described imitation as
'an animal masquerading in a
false skin, glossy and rich and very
tempting.
Henderson stated: 1.-THE time-to-
days midnight. There is no time
left for masquerading. The world
we live in today is grim and bloody.
''It is world of hard reality and
of hard fact. 1t will grow grimme1
and more bloody. We had better
count on its growing harder be-
fore it grows easier"
Henderson emphasized through.

Kith and Kin

Mr.. American Voter Public and
press have grown very critical Of
liquor during the last two or three
years. A recent Gallup Poll showed
an overwhelming majority favorable
to stronger liquor controls and re-
strictive measures, and showed 80
per cent favorable to immediate pro-
hibition. The W.C.T.U., for instance,
has added thousands of members to
its lists. Several thousand commu-
mites have voted dry In recent
years.
It's like one temperance leader
said recently: 1.-THE liquor people
have the money and the cleverest
brains money can buy. But, can
they think up any argument which
will hide the eight-year record of

ken homes, impoverished families,
