The text follows:
Harold L. Ickes, petroleum CO.
ordinator for war. and Leon Hen
derson, OPA administrator. have
agreed that every user of oil heat
in the Eastern area should take
immediate steps to prepare for
shortage in fuel oil this winter.
Messrs. Ickes and Henderson have
also clarified the position of their
agencies with respect to the fuel oil
situation. The ONCE of Petroleum
Co-ordinator, on the one hand, Is
engaged In intensive efforts to bring
all the oil possible into the Eastern
area in the hope of relieving the
shortage sufficiently to avert the
need for consumer rationing
The ONCE of Price Administra-
ton, on the other hand, is perfect

such step should be deemed neces-
sary. The decision on whether or
not rationing is necessary rests ulti-
mately with the War Production
Board.
Essential Steps.
The petroleum co-ordinator and
the price administrator agreed that
regardless of what measures are
taken by the Government, the fol-
lowing steps are essential if persons
who rely on oil for heat are to avoid
being uncomfortable this winter:
Oil-burning equipment in the
Eastern area should be converted to
coal wherever possible.
Officiating units which cannot be
converted should be cleaned, ad-

order to get maximum fuel utiliza-
ton.
Whether oil or coal is used, steps
should be taken to insulate homes
against cold and thus cut fuel con-
sumption. Insulation measures
which are recommended are as fol-
lows:
Attic floors should be insulated
with mineral wool or similar mate
rial.
Insulate Outside Walls.
Where possible, the outside walls
OF private homes should also be in
sulated.
Windows and doors should be
weather. stripped and calked to cut
out drafts.
Storm windows and storm doors
should be used to prevent the escape
OF heat through glass.
Any one OF these measures may
reduce heat loss and cut fuel con-
sumption by as much as 10 or Is
per cent. All four measures may
result in savings up to 30 per cent.
A new ruling of the Federal
Reserve Board removes restric-
tions on credit payments for in
stalling insulation. strip

$50 physicians Here
Begin 0CD Study Of
Chemical Warfare
Officer Says Worst
Effect Of Cos Attacks
Is on Morale

The Importance OF thoroughly un-
derstanding the protective forces of
modern chemical warfare to help
allay undue fear" of gas attacks
was stressed before more than $50
physicians last night at the first of
three scheduled meetings sponsored
by the Once of Civilian Defense.
The meeting featured discussion
Of the history of chemical warfare
chemical reaction and identification
OF gases, and the decontamination
OF individuals and areas affected by
gas.
Officer Addresses Group.
1t. Col. w. E. Caldwell OF the
Chemical Warfare School, Edgewood
Arsenal, Md, told the physicians
that, although the st-equipped
army in the world is helpless without
gas protection, once protective forces
are installed, that type of warfare
becomes relatively ineffective.
American troops are being pro-
vided all the defenses they may pos
s1bly need against gas, he said.
Perhaps more than any other
one weapon" Col. Caldwell con-
tlnued, "the fear of gas has the
graetest effect on Army morale"
Other speakers last night included
DR.. Joseph H. Roe of the George
Washington University school of
medicine and DR.. Richard H. Mere
dith of the Georgetown University
medical school.
Two More Meetings Planned.
Directing the course, DR.. Roe, as
sistant chief medical officer of the
Emergency Medical Service in
charge Of chemical warfare, ex-
planned that the opening session
was Introductory and that the two
meetings to follow will deal with the
latest technical developments of
gas diagnosis and treatment. The
instructors have been chosen from
local medical schools and have re-
ceived training courses at Edgewood
Arsenal.
Second Of the voluntary instruc-
tive courses will be held November
ii and the final meeting will take
place December 16. All sessions are
being held at the District Medi-
cal Society headquarters, 1718 M

OBecause It Contains Kitamin B. To Help
OBecause 1t Stays Fresh Longer

10000, 900 man-days' work will be
lost this year due to nutritional ILL
nesses alone.
A New York State Committee esti-
mates industrial production could be
increased 25% by better food. The
problem will be solved when wives
put better food on the table and in
the lunch boxes of the nation.
A New Kind OF Bread
One place to start is bread. Remem-
ber-bread accounts for 800 of the
daily energy millions need.
Now, wise Mother Nature put Vita
min B, as we'll as other vitamins and
minerals into wheat. But man took
it out-trying to make bread whittier.
Then, cooperating with the gov
eminent, the makers of the new
Wonder Bread put Vitamin b. back
into the bread. To remedy the loss
caused in the milling of the flour.
And, for good measure, added iron
for red blood.
The result is new and improved
Evening star., 1942-10-22

What everybody knows is that bread
is major source of energy millions
of people rely upon their daily bread
for $3.50 of their energy.
But what you may not know is
that, according to present scientific
findings, you must have Vitamin b
to efficiently transform the bread
you eat into the energy you need.
This brings up the question-do
you get enough Vitamin B, naturally
from the food you eat-the way
Nature intended you should? Accord
ing to U. S. Government Health
Oficials-3 out of every people fail
to eat a good diet to get enough
Vitamin b..
Now this does not mean that you
do not get enough Vitamin B, so that
the bread you eat does you no good.
What it does mean is this unless
you have sufficient Vitamin B., you
cannot properly transform bread-or
other food-into energy.

by a series of strangely complex and highly dramatic circumstances. Jean Parker plays the role of a prospector's daughter, living her en- tire life in the wilds of the north country. The story, in substance, deals with ruthless adventurer, Jerome Cowan to steal $lOO,O0O in gold from another prospector. His attempts are cleverly planned, but his accomplice Ray Middleton falls in love with the prospector's daugh- ter, Jean Parker, and, at the risk of his life, determines to save her from the scheming adventurer. The ensuing events are filled with im- pressive action which eliminates in a highly dramatic finish.
