The Dutch today tentatively
identified as a japanese battle
ship a heavy warship sunk in
the Straits of Macassar on the
first day of Japan's disastrous
effort to run the strategic straits
between Borneo and CelebeS in
an apparent effort to invade
Java.
Meanwhile United States and
Netherlands forces pressed relent-
lessly after the savagely battered in
vasion convoy and the conflict was
reported to be still going on.
II the Dutch identification of the
vessel as a battleship is correct it
would raise Japan's toll of capital
ships to two so far.
The first was the battleship Ha-
runa, sunk by Capt. Colin P. Kelly,
jr.. of the Philippines in the first
days of the war.
A special Dutch communique Fri
day said large warship," together
with two cruisers and a transport,
suffered direct hits with 660-pound
bombs when Dutch flyers attacked

Recapitulation in Batavia.
A recapitulation of Japanese
losses in the battle Of the Macassar
Straits was issued by authoritative
Indies sources in Batavia. who said
that in three days of a running
Dutch-American air and sea assault
on a great japanese convoy in the
narrow waters between the islands
of Borneo and Celebes % enemy
ships were sunk or heavily dam
aged and 13 warplanes downed.
Eleven Of the ships were war
vessels and II were transports, it
said,
The War Department in Wash

ground fighting during the last "a
hours in the Batan Peninsula, where
Gen. Douglas Macarthur has been
holding out against a vastly su-
perior Nipponese force.

his future strategy.

this archipelago and may consider

There still was no indication of
the original size Of the convoy, but
Batavia observers expressed belief
that the Japanese must have lost a
considerable part of their effective
strength.
The Dutch high command, nev-
ertheleSs, said it was believed the
invaders had succeeded in occupy

region Of Southeast Celebes where
they had landed troops Sunday.

w Gus history.
He was born on the big San
Quentin reservation and has
practically never been out of
sight Of the old high gray walls
on which the seagulls always
are squatting or the water of

His father was a guard and
the son has been more or less
associated with prisoners all his
life.
His wife's father was also a
guard and Mrs. Duffy taught
school on the reservation. her
pupils being the children of the
guards.
Both her father and the

assaults at the hands of inmates
years ago. but that did not en-
bitter the younger Duffy against
them. as he rose from a clerk

present position.

that if treated as men they will

Butter

Therefore, while a good nat

indication of the presence OF
carotene. absence of that color
does not mean that the butter
is deficient in vitamin A.
OUTER from different dairy
- communities varies in vita
min A and d content.
A change in dairy rationS will
alter the vitamin A content Of
butter produced.
BY taking dairy animals off
pasture a source of carotene is
removed from their diet and the
vitamin A value of the butter
produced from their milk drops
off.
However, dairym n, now
recognizing this fact. are taking
measures TO prevent this de-
crease by supplementing the
winter feeding with rich, green
alfalfa hay or products high in
carotene.
All butter is a fair source OF
vitamin D, and since vitamin d
is formed by the action of sun
light, butter produced in the
winter months is somewhat
more deficient in vitamin D than
that produced in the summer
months.
BESIDES these factors a new
- substance has been found in
butter which is known as the
growth factor.
1t SO contains substances
which promote healthy skin and
healthy eye nutrition.

shown that as far as vitamin 3

But it is well-eStablished now
that butter contains a growth
factor which has not been found
