Fireflies, seen so frequently in
Bluffton gardens and fields, have a
valuable organic fiuorescent material,
that may be utilized for the war eff
fort.
This was learned recently when
Gilbert T. Schmidling, scientist whose
experiments developed the fluorescent
lamp, said that these insects hold the
secret of perfect luminescence.
This is something the army and
civilian defense both need. The fire.
fly gets its light from complex or
ganic material that provides a
highly superior lighting system bet
ter than any worked as yet by the
human mind, according to Schmid-
ling's report.
In addition to finding out what
makes the glow worm glow, the
scientist wants to breed a firefy
capable of producing white light.
Different localities produce different
colors.
For example Schmidling has found
that New York frefiies light up yell

Bluffton Residents May Be Able
To Obtain More Sugar For Canning

Bluffton housewives who have ex-
perienced difficulty in obtaining su-
gar in sufficient quantities for cam
ming purposes will likely have less
trouble in getting increased amounts
in the future to meet their needs.
This was revealed in an announce
ment from the OPA this week whose
officials said "There is no specific
limitation on the amount of sugar
which family may obtain for the
purposes of home canning. Local
boards are authorized to permit the
use of any reasonable amount of su-
gar for home canning with the un-
derstanding that with each pound of
sugar, four quarts of fruit will be
canned"
The new order is based on the
view it is highly important to pre-
serve fresh fruit wherever possible.
Ripening fruit crops in several large
sections of the country caused the
reassuring statement from OPA of
ficials to be issued.
At the same time, officials pointed
out that under normal conditions, an
average of approximately six pounds
of sugar per capita is used in home
canning.
The nation, under the rationing
program, is consuming about 475,000
tons of sugar per month including
lease lend and the armed forces,
and is being supplied, out of its own
crops and all imports, at the rate of
504,523 tons per month.
Reason for more liberal attitude
in the purchase of canning sugar
was seen in the increased production
of beet sugar and the larger impor-
tations of cane sugar than was ex-
pected at the time the rationing pro-
gram was set up, it was reported.

PULSE OF
THE PU BLIC
ALIENS CONTROL
TOO MUCH
by John Hix

Editor, The Times: 1t hardly
seems, to some. quite democratic
to rip into Uncle Sans hope
chest to feather your own nest.
Unless all receive proportionate
pay who furnish the food. CLOTH
ing. and other necessities of
great war. We are being any
thing but democratic.
All labor calls for experience,
strength and sticktoitiveness
and should be paid for according
to the amount and equality Of
work accomplished, not because
you have bought a chance to
punch the time clock.
The idle boasting of the mere
spending of millions for war
means little TO such men as we
fight. Especially when quite a
large proportion goes to aliens
or their sympathetic inhabitants
of the United States.
II might make interesting
reading if we could see list of
the aliens who have shares in
the liquor Establishments, chain
stores, metal and mining opera
tons, and who of late invested
in land, mortgages. etc, on the
coasts of this country.
You who crab about high
prices of winter vegetables were
probably pleased to learn that
e0ee of southern CALIFORNIA;
produce was controlled by alien
Japanese, though they did only
100 of the work.
Yes. no doubt we have fl
nanced a good part of several
nations war budgets, and entire
~ too many leading citizens are
willing TO continue dealing with
them because they so love that
almighty dollar.
With the little help in financ-
ing that the American farmer
receives from banking or gov
eminent circles. 1t is small won
der alien nations have stepped
in and controlled the best mar
kets Unless a radical change
comes soon. this worlds gran
ary and storehouse will be
empty. A. p. ALEXANDER.

Australia. India. and the smaller
conquered nations.
All. or at least most all, of
the infected and wsr-rabies-
stricken small nations now
dominated by the axis powers,
as well as the aforementioned
defense nations and others of
this hemisphere, are peace
loving peoples and demand that
the above-named political mad
dogs be chained.
Those dogs of war. having
gone mad, must no longer be
permitted to run at large bit
ing whom they will. They must
have their poison fangs ex-
tracted, and be muzzled so that
war, or even the fear of war,
will not ever again scorch this
earth.
No more air bombers, super
dreadnaughts, bsttleships, mill
tary war tanks or submarines
must ever again be permitted
any nation when the present
war in ended. Nothing in that
line should be left but a fleet
of small ships TO be used as an
international police, and TO
which all nations should con-
tribute their proportionate
share Of men and materials ac-
cording to the number Of their
population, to be controlled by
an internal Congress OF Ma
tons.
Unfortunately, TO be able to
accomplish that end, the peace
loving peoples must build and
man bsttleships, air fighting
and bombing planes, war tanks
and submarines a. never before,
many times faster than we are
now doing, % as 10 end for
once and all the wholesale
butchery Of human beings as
quickly as possible.
As those mad dogs recognize
no settlement Of a controversy
other than brute force OF mech
snized arms, they must be given
a complete dose OF the only
medicine they understand OF
course, that can os accom-
plished with our present tempo
Of construction and manning,
but that might take years,
which must bs avoided.
Awaken. and speed ur. YOU
peses-loving workers, and YOU
profit-grsboine industrial hogs,
Lets DO the war up quickly,
and extract those mad dogs
teeth,
The world loves peace. To get
peace We must and VIII win
this war that we are IN, and
which IL devastating the world,
and the quicker We do II the
sooner viii the world have the
peace II loves.
