VITAMlN A GOLD STRIKE

Shortages of Yitamin A. caused
when cod liver oil deliveries from
Norway and Japan were cut OF by
the war. have proved such gold
mine TO fishermen that college
boys have left their books and farm
ers their plows to fish.
The shortage Of yitamin A turn
ed out to be a gold mine for fisher
men OF California, oregon and
Washington after they discovered
the merit OF soup-hn shark. For
years, they had tossed it overheard
as a nuisance OF no commercial
value except for the fms, considered
a delicacy by the Chinese.
Then it was found that the hugo
liver OF the soup-hn shark was more
than 80 per cent oil and that the
oil had a higher yitamin A potency
than that of almost any other fsh-
80 times that OF the cod for exam
pie.
Thousands OF fishermen aban-
doned their usual catches to 90
after sharks in competition with
farmers and college boys. The
price Of whole sharks jumped from
$40 a ton to $500 10 $1,000 a ton and
the price Of liyers rose from IS to
81 a pound Individual earnings
reached Is much as $1,000 for a trip
lasting no more than week.
Vitamin A is recommended to
sharpen the eyes OF pilots for night
flights. Large amounts have been
sent 10 Royal Air Force flyers in
England. and also TO aid under
nourished British children.

pounds of yitamiu A; 4,71O pounds

trates which contain vitamin G.

TERM DATA
Washington, D. G.

FOURTH TERM DATA
Not much has been said about II
publicly, but already the question Of
the Fourth Term has come in for
lot of backstage discussion.
Republicans, worried about 1t,
want to do everything possible to
block it. And in the vicinity of the
White House, some Of those who
would like to stay around indefinite
ly, want to do everything possible to
encourage it.
But those closest to the President
are convinced that there will be no
Fourth Term. Even if he could get
it, they say that this is the last
thing Roosevelt wants.
Or even If there should be a ire
mendous demand on the part Of the
public against changing horses in
midstream, they don't think the
President would yield. His ideals
for preservation of the democratic
system are too deep-rooted, they
say, for him to continue in Office for
what would be total of 16 years.
However, the President does have
one very definite political goal, and
that is to retain control of congress
during his two remaining years in
office.
He remembers all too clearly,
when he was assistant secretary of
the navy, the chaos which the coun-
try faced when Woodrow Wilson lost
control of the house of representa-
tives. He also remembers the trou-
bles faced by Herbert Hoover, Cal
vim Coolidge and his cousin Teddy
Roosevelt when they faced a rebel
lious congress during their last two
years in Office.
So the President is out to win the
house, and win it at all costs next
November. To that end he will leave
Notwithstanding he hasn't

SAVING WASTE FOOD

/ have a most interesting letter
from some food sales consultants,
who make the point that if we are
going to improve the nutrition Of
the country while the cost Of living
is going up, we must find ways of
saving. They enclose a series of
suggestions stating that there is
practically no household in the coun-
try whose kitchen could not make
savings which will amount to a great
deal in the aggregate. / quote here
one paragraph, which struck me as
particularly interesting and made
me want to investigate my own
kitchen at once.
What is waste, where is it,
and how can we put stop to it?
Waste is the withered potato lying
in the bottom of the bag, multiplied
by millions of other potatoes all
over the country. Waste is the tired
out box of crackers reposing on my
pantry shelf and that of my neigh
Dor. These may sound like trivial
examples, but the sum total Of such
minor wasteful habits from Maine
to California have expanded our ma
tional 'waste-line' until it is around
our necks and choking us out of
$500, 100000 food dollars each
year."

JOBS TO REPUBLICANs

JOBS TO REPUBLICANS
Some of FDR's political advisers,
among them Democratic Chairman
Ed Flynn, tell him privately that
the battle to control the house in
November will not be easy. One
trouble is patronage.
Patronage is word which may
bring bad smell to the public, but
to the politician it is like the smell
of raw meat to a circus lion. He
will not perform without it.
Back in the early days of the
New Deal, Jim Farley kept little
card index, of how. every congress-
man voted on important issues and
what jobs he had received. When
the congressman stopped voting
! right, he stopped getting jobs for
his constituents. That system
worked like a charm-for a while.
But in recent years Roosevelt him.
self has given more and more jobs
to Republicans, while Leon Hender-
son, the greatest job dispenser of
war times, has placed everything in
the hands of state governors, large
proportion of them Republicans.
So today, the Presidents political
friends say that his definition of pa
tronage is: Something which you
hold out to your friends, but use to
reward your enemies"
And these friends have had the
short end of the patronage stick for
so long that, as November APP
proaches, FDR is finding a lot Of
the old politicoes unwilling to go to
bat for him, while the rewarded enc
mics won't stay put.
So the congressional elections are
going to be tougher than a lot of
people realize, and you will probably
see certain seasoned political sea-
dogs, among them Ed Flynn, resign
ing from the picture before many
weeks are over.
Note: Patronage under the old
congressional system had lot of
faults, but it was not half as bad as
under the present dollar-a-year man
system, where somebody gets key

AVIATION IN HIGH SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON. - The United
States Office of education is coop
Grating with high schools to make
their pupils air-minded, and I have
a long letter from Gould academy
in Bethel, Maine, telling me about
the aviation ground school course
for their older students, which is be-
ginning this fall. A teacher train
ing course in aeronautics has been
held at the University of Colorado,
Boulder, Colo, and Gould academy
is fortunate in having their teacher
in physics and chemistry a gradu-
ate of this course.
Many schools will carry on similar
courses for high school students
with the purpose of developing in
them a greater knowledge Of the
growth of aviation and of giving
such basic preparation as they viii
need in aviation positions.

OF DOGS AND LANDLORDS

OF DOGS AND LANDLORDS
AS / write this ! am in q mood
when wish that could only see
one side of question. The other
night a very important gentleman
told me that he found it very diff
cult, because he could often see two
sides to every question. It is GER
tainly much more convenient to be
crusader and close your mind to
everything but your own point of
view. In the sad tale am going to
tell you, I would like to have only
one point of view, though I know
that there is another.
A lady writes me that she has
thoroughbred six-months-old Scottie
dog she has trained and brought up
from puppyhood. She is the wife of
an officer and is trying to find
place to lay her head in overcrowd-
ed Washington, so that she can be
with her husband until he is ordered
away. But the ''hard-hearted" real
estate people, who sometimes refuse
to rent apartments to people with
babies, are even more adamant
when it comes to dogs.
She agrees that if her dog became
q nuisance to the neighbors, he
should go, because she thinks that in
that case the pet would also become
a nuisance to her. She has no one
to whom she can give the poor little
Scottie, and the choice seems to be
between getting rid of him, or seek
ing in vain for a place in which to
live.
It i'll becomes anyone who lives in
the house with F'ala and knows what
a joy a really well-behaved pet dog
can be, even to consider the real
estate owners point of view for a
second. But I do know that if you
are running crowded development
and great many people have pets,
they make difference to the
grounds and mean added complica-
tons in the house for an often sorely
tried manager. I am sure from this
woman's letter that she would al
ways have a well-trained and we'll
behaved dog. Unfortunately, every
body is not as considerable or as
capable.
Those of us who love dogs know
that our greatest joy with them is
usually in the country. To have a
little dog in the city is not impossi-
BILE. If you are alone, it is surely
very comforting to have one friend
on whom you can rely, who will
never question your moods, nor your
actions, but will simply look at you
adoringly and lick your hand when
ever you give him chance.
can only suggest trying to find
real estate owner who feels the
same devotion to dogs that my cor
respondent and I have in common,
because gas and rubber shortages
make it impossible to move out of
town.
