Clues in Hunt
For Rubber
BY G. B. LAL

NEWLY found clues about the
~ forces which hold molecules
together are of high significance
for the production of better and
less expensive synthetic rubber.
DR.. Thomas Midgley Jr.. noted
chemical engineer Of the Ethyl
Gasoline Corporation, and win
ner of the coveted Willard Gibbs
Medal Of the American Chemical
Society, in a report concerning
rubber chemistry states:
"The retraction of rubber,
that Is, the property which
causes rubber to return to Its
original shape and size with
force sitter being stretched, Is
the outstanding Characteristic
that distinguishes IL from chew
ing gum, beeswax and tar and
makes II into the useful material
that IL Is.
"TNHIS property Is so impor-
Il tant that any material
which possesses it can be called
n rubber, no matter what Its
chemical constitution may be-"
One of the most desirable
tools of rubber chemistry would
be a theory that would fully &C.
count for the behavior Of the
molecules upon which the rub
ber's property of retraction,
after being stretched, depends.
Its extension might be very
useful I'm predicting new molec-
ular forms which could lead TO
better and less expensive syn
thetic rubbers than we have
now"
Another type of rubber molec-
ular theory has been devised
by F. T. Wall and other scien-
fists, and this pictures rubber to
be built of long chain molecules
which can rotate about the
electrical links between carbon
and carbon atoms.

Hawaii with tall tales of the
glory and prowess of the Land
of the Rising Sun-but Japanese
here gradually are learning
that Nippon isn't all it's Kissed
up to be.
They are learning because
they are just as rabid cartoon
fans as any youngster differing
over Red Ryder-and because
Honolulu boasts a cartoonist
who knows the Japs and the vul-
nerable sports in their peculiar
philosophy.
He is Bill Moran, for IL years
before December 7, 1941, carr
toonist on Japanese newspaper
in Hawaii. He held his job be-
caues his American-Japanese
boss, and every subscriber, were
cartoon-crazy. They'd study ev-
cry pictorial detail, search for
hidden barbs, and slowly but
surely, they'd get the point.
Today, Bill is putting his tai
ent to better use. He's teaching
the Japanese in Hawaii, who
made up about so per cent of the
pre-war population. that what
ever goes up comes down, in
GLIDING Rising Suns. He explains
the unusual success of cartoons
az anti-Tokyo propaganda:
"You can't just beat a Japa-
nese over the head with cold
facts. You have to 60 back into
their customs and philosophy
that are so entirely different
from our own"
Japan teaches her countrymen
that the nation is just one big
happy family, all related, in var
ious degrees of importance, to
the emperor and the sun god
desS.
TAKING POT SHOTS
AT THE BIG SHOTS
When Bill points out, in a
cartoon, that the emperor is the
wealthiest man in Japan, and
has q personal interest in this
war. they begin to doubt the
validity Of this nice caste sys-
tenn.
When he draws the Son of
Heaven inspecting plans for his
Imperial Bomb Shelter, the Jap
anese oldsters begin to wonder
about Hirohito's divinity.
When he draws a picture of
TOTO, on crutches, explaining
that the Americans fought at
Midway to sink ships, the Japs
to save face, and that both OBJ
jectives were accomplished, the
subtle barb hits home.

petitions, one under Maj. Waller

The expeditions learned that the

atop heavily fortified cliffs which,
it was reported, were impregnable.

including II who were badly
wounded, were the only members
of the company to escape to a

Beef Shortcake with Mock Turtle

FILLING for Sh0rtcdke:

u cup onions, chopped
l pound beef, ground
Il teaspoon salt
Pinch of pepper
" can condensed tomato soup
Cook the chopped onions in the
melted fat until soft. Then add the
ground beef and cook until brown.
Mix with the tomato soup and sea-
sonings and heat well.
Baked Shortcdke:
cups flour
y teaspoon salt
8 teaspoons baking powder
4 tablespoons butter
2s cup approximately milk
Sift the flour, measure, add salt
and baking powder and sift again.
Cut in the shortening, then add the
milk by adding a small amount at
time until stiff dough is formed.
Roll out the dough in piece about
8 8 inches square. Put into a
buttered baking pan and bake in a
hot (4500 FL oven for 1920 minutes.

while hot and spread the meat fill
ing between the layers. Replace
the top half of the shortcake. Cut
into slices about 3 inches square
and serve hot sauce over the top.
Mock Turtle Sauce:

Add the water to the mock turtle
soup and stir well. Heat and serve
the sauce over the pieces of beef

Cliffs Scaled
The Leathernecks scaled the
steep cliffs silently and slowly.
With rifles slung across their
shoulders, they climbed up 200 feet
of wall-like mountains. Overhead
were tons of rocks, suspended in
baskets, waiting to be hurled upon
them.
But the determined Leathernecks
overcame these barriers, which be-
came more difficult as the climb
continued. Feet, hands and bodies
of the Marines were badly cut dur
ing the climb over the sharp rocks.
The Leathernecks, enduring per-
sonal agonies in silence, carried out
their orders so efficiently that the
forts defenders, taken completely
by surprise, surrendered.

WOMEN who have homes to run,
cooking to do and children to take
care of, are asking. what can l do
to help in the war effort?"
Perhaps they haven't the time that
will allow them to play part in one
of the volunteer organizations. But
there are important parts to be
played by housewives. Morale is as
important as munitions in winning
a war-and morale begins at home.
Home morale includes maintaining
normal routine of family life, with
particular care in keeping life as
usual for the children. During war
time. housewives should take care
to have their medicine cabinets we'll
stocked In addition to equipment
such as cotton, bandaging, antiseptics
and the like, every home should have
on hand such products as bottle of
good quality witch hazel that has
such a variety of uses-all important
today. Not only can the housewife
use good quality witch hazel for
minor bumps and bruises, but she
finds it delightful soother of tired
nerves, when applied on cotton pads
to the eyes and wrists.
Good Grooming
Home morale includes the MAIN
tenance of the high standard of good
grooming that Anne orleans have
achieved. Beauty treatments may
necessarily be streamlined and SIM
plified to take fewer of the busy
hours, but they must not be neglect
ed. An army marches off to battle
with buttons shining, weapons pol
ished, men neatly uniformed. The
civilian army of workers and home
makers should look as well-for the
sake of their morale.

Remember Salvage
For active defense work at home,
housewives can aid immensely by
saving cans, newspapers, cartons,
even the tin tops from milk bottles,
used pots and pans, magazines and
books, tin foil, scrap rubber, tooth
paste tubes, clean rags and razor
blades. The collection can be given
to the Salvation Army, Boy Scouts
or any other organization that is
equipped to collect. A phone call to
one of these organizations will bring
collection truck around, or call your
local salvage committee. The poll
is to save the wealth of the United
States-its resources and products
for the important job of winning the
war. War materials can be made of
waste materials. For example, one
newspaper would make three 26
FOUNDER she'll cups, popular maya
zine would make interior components
of two mines, go cigarette cartons
would make one outer shell con-
tainer.
These efforts to salvage material
and to maintain morale in your home
may seem a small contribution, but
multiply them by the millions of
homes in America and you have
great saving of products and an un-
beatable morale.
