TWO EGGS OUT OF is FOR
LEND-LEASE

Out of every, " dozen eggs pro-
duced in the United States this year,
at least one dozen will be dried to
supply Lend-Lease needs. The Nation
will produce between 100000 900
and 4,5OO,OOO,O00 dozen eggs in
1912, according to u S. Depart
ment of Agriculture estimates, and
nearly 6OO,OOO,000 dozen eggs will
move into drying plants.
Purchases of the dried egg powder
by the Agricultural Marketing Adj
ministration are expected to reach
200 million pounds in 1912, and it
takes 3 dozen fresh shell eggs to
make a pound of whole egg powder.
In addition to ANA requirements
for our Allies, our own armed forces
will need millions of pounds of dried
egg this year. This additional use
may increase the proportion of eggs
used in drying plants to possibly one
out of each six. Whatever the exact
proportion, the hens have big job
ahead of them.

FARMERS AREN'T RICH

Those city jewellers who believe
that agriculture is prospecting ire
mendously from the war should look
little closer at the facts.
In a recent press release, Ernest
c. Strobeck, secretary of the Dairy
mems League Cooperative Associa-
ton of New York, said: Dairy
farmers have responded to the gov
ernment's program of increased pro-
duction. They have incurred extra
expenses and experienced many in
cOnveniences With farm labor
only 81 per cent normal and with
farm wages higher than in any per
iod in history, dairy farmers are
now confronted with the prospect OF
prices being frozen at levels below
even the low levels prescribed in
the Emergency Price Control Act
Also, they face a constantly shifting
price policy under the lease-lend
program.
Similar situations are perplexing
farmers throughout the country. In
creases in farm operating costs have
generally Offset increases in prices
War, in short, has brought agricul-
ture some of the toughest problems
it ever faced.

RUBBER AND THE OIL INDUSTRY

Some extremely false ideas con-
corning the oil industry and the ar
tificial rubber program seem to be
making the rounds. These ideas
were forcibly answered in a recent
statement by j. A. Brown, president
of the Socony-Vacuum Company.
First, the charge that the oil in
dustry has blocked" the production
of buttadiene "a basic ingredient in
rubber MANUFACTURER from alcohol
made from agricultural products, is
unfounded. To quote Mr.. Brown:
''The paramount interest in the oil
industry is to have as much rubber
as possible available to the public.
Most of it's profits, and in many in
stances it's very existence, are de-
pendent on large consumption of
gasoline, which, in turn, is cOndi-
Der. Where that rubber initiates !.
is of little commercial interest gen.
orally to the oil industry. A most
striking confirmation of this is their
great effort, at their own expense
and without profit, to gather scrap.
Still another misconception lies
in the belief that the government is
giving the oil companies tremen-
dous sums of money to build rubber
plants for their own profit. To quote
Mr.. Brown again: 1.-THE general pol
icy is for the government to build
and own plants and for oil compan-
les to operate them without profit.
In short, the oil industry wants
to see rubber produced in the swift
est, most practical way And the
government is trying to decide which
way is best.

CUP A DAY TO BE COFFEE
RATION

Coffee will be rationed starting at
midnight, November %, at a rate OF
one pound every five weeks for each
person over fifteen years old, the
Office of Price Administration an
nounced.
On the basis of 35 to 40 cups to
the pound, the ration means slightly
more than cup day per person
Retail sales will be halted at mid
night November FL, Price Admin
istrator Leon Henderson said, for a
week-long freeze during which
grocers will stock their shelves fol
the start of rationing.
The first rationed coffee will be
purchased on the last stamp in the
sugar ration book, stamp No. %
Subsequent rations will be issued
by working backwards through the
sugar book, using stamps No. 2S to
10, in sequence.

Washington, D. c., is the center of
a country at war. Nerves reach out
from it to every section of the ire
mendous war effort. In January, 1941,
Washington long distance telephone
calls averaged $1,000 day. Now there
are $4,000 and it is expected there will
be $4,000 day by the end Of 1912.
The long distance switchboards and
telephone circuits have been doubled.
Hundreds of operators have been
added.
Telephone people from all parts of
the country have joined the telephone

in Washington they went directly to
work, with no delay and no lost time.
They could do this because the job of
operator, installer, cable splicer, re-
pairman, switchboard man-whatever
the job might be-is the same in
Washington as it is in Fargo, North
Dakota, or anywhere else in the land.
They could do it because the whole
basis of Bell System organization is
such that when an emergency turns
up in one part of the country, men and
women, already trained, can be called
from the far corners of the nation, if
necessary.
These men and women know their
jobs and are skilled in teamwork. And
their successful handling of the ex-
traordinary demands for service in
Washington is one more example OF
the determination of the men and
women of the Bell System to get the
message through.

ItoIy's TripoIi

When Italy choSe to join Germany
and Japan in a contest with prac-
tically all the rest of the world, she
gambled her African empire. The
risk involved. not merely great sums
OF money invested there but likewise
vast numbers of human lives spent
for the expansion of the Italian
realm. Every square yard Of earth
was purchased in sweat and blood.
The instance Of Tripoli may be cited
as a case in point.
Such a promontory, reaching out
into the Mediterranean toward
Sicily, was bound to attract atten-
tion even in very ancient times. The
Phoenicians probably knew it we'll,
the Carthaginians settled it, the
Romans absorbed it, the Turks held
it from the 18th century until 1911
when Italy took 1t as an objective
Of the Irridentist movement. Fight
ing continued until October 18, 1912,
when the treaty of Ouchy was signed
with the approval of the Great
Powers. To the credit Of the Italian
colonial administration it must be
admitted that an earnest effort to
justify the conquest In terms of wise
and generous government was made.
particularly between 1920 and 1885.
The city of Tripoli proper grad
ually was reconstructed during that
period of development. Rising above
a small but fertile plain, the modern
residential sections occupy a series
OF terraces with beautiful gardens.
In the Turkish quarter many pic
turesque old buildings OF Moorish
design stand In arcaded streets often
sketched and painted by artists re-
sponsive to their distinctive mystery
and charm. Mosques, cathedrals,
magnificent white marble arch
erected in 1853 AID, official struc-
lures OF recent date, theaters, hotels,
a large tobacco factory, saltworks,
markets, Spanish citadel, an
archaeological museum, hundreds of
shops-all these combined to create
a picture which is unforgettable. In
reaction. to the romantic challenge
OF the place, Italy poured a produc-
tive stream of gold into it.
Costly works we're undertaken to
improve the harbor-that same
sheltered crescent-shaped bay where
Stephen Decatur destroyed the Phil
aaelphia in 1304-and airports with
commodious hangers, well-equipped
shops, storage warehouses and other
facilities also were brought into ex-
istence. Up to the outbreak of hos
tilities in June, 1910, trade f1ourished
and the community prospered. Now
it seems to be merely a question of
weeks or months, possibly only of a
few days, until Italy will lose Trip

Cold Comfort

OH burner owners, in time of
peace, have sworn by this conven-
ience, claiming that there is no fuel
like an oil fuel. Now they go down
to the cellar and swear at it, fer
vently, because an oil fuel Is very apt
to mean no fuel. Especially do they
do it in Boston, the home of the
Cabot, the Lowell, the bean and the
cod but not of the oil we'll. So seri-
Gus has the situation become in the
Hub City that tentative plans are
being made to move entire families,
unable to keep the home fires burn
ing, into schoolhouses equipped with
coupons to burn.
The arrangement, while consider
ably better than freezing, is not so
hot. John Howard Payne said that
be it ever so humble there's no place
like home, and certainly a school is
not like it. School and home, like
church and state, each works better
when kept separate. The primary
IunctlOn or the school, education OF
youth, may continue, but an impor-
tant secondary function will be sab
otaged, namely, that of giving
mother breathing spell while the
kids are away. Furthermore, with
school and home indistinguishable,
the homework problem, already a
joint headache for children and
parents alike, will become more con-
fused than ever. Could all this by
any chance be retribution belatedly
catching up with certain fathers who
have told their children that school
days are the happiest in life, and
that they would give anything If
only they had the chance to be back
In school again?

CHANCES at Georgetown

The Very Reverend Arthur Aloysius
OLeary was the first native Wash
ingtonian to become president of
Georgetown University and it is un-
derstood to have been his privilege
to serve at that post of duty for
longer period of time than any of his
distinguished predecessors. 1t will be
with these two thoughts in mind that
a numerous company of his friends
will view. his REIMBURSEMENT of aca-
demic administrative responsibilities
and his return to parish work at st.
Aloysius Church.
GEORGETOWN, as an institution of
the Jesuit Order, is an integral part
of an organization of religion and
education established in 1910. The
founder of the brotherhood was Saint
Ignatius Loyola, a Spanish soldier
who adapted a traditional system
of military discipline to the purposes
of Christian missionary scholarship.
His influence still is reflected in the
pioneer Catholic college in America,
opened by the Reverend John Carroll,
later Archbishop of Baltimore, in
1889. Rotation of Office has been the
"rule" since 1905, and Father OLeary,
In common with all those members

]. Parker of the fourth circuit, one
of the best known members of the
Federal bench, who was rejected by
the Senate for the court by two
votes when he was nominated by
President Hoover After so long a
time, however, it would not seem
that the chances of any of these
men are very bright.
That so important post should
stay open indefinitely is thoroughly
undesirable. To begin with. an un-
due burden is placed on the eight
other justices. for the docket is
always crowded, and this In turn
causes delay. Another bad feature is
that 1t increases the opportunity for
the court to divide evenly on litiga-
ton, and when that Happens. 1t Is
more than likely that reargument
will be required before an enlarged
bench. For example, In the months
that elapsed between the resignation
of Justice James c. McReynolds and
the end Of the lo40-4l term, only
