Housewives Are Told
How 10 Save Kitchen
Fats for Munitions
Should Be Stored in Can
In Refrigerator Pending
Sole to Meat Dealer

The war reached into the kitchen
today to make every housewife
part of Americas great munitions
industry.
The District Salvage Committee,
an agent of the War Production
Board, announced its program for
saving cooking greases, fats and oils
to supply glycerine for explosives
From now on, the committee said,
a wide -mouthed can for holding the
waste drippings should be in every
kitchen.
1t should be spotlessly clean and
should have cover. probably a
coffee can or one which once held
vegetable shortening. III
Shpnld Be Kept in Refrigerator.
HEtf are the things toput in it.. Y
Bfoiler drippings from steaks,
chops and bacon.
Pan drippings from roast ham,
beef, lamb and poultry.
Deep fats-lard or vegetable short
ening-from fried potatoes, fish,
doughnuts and the like.
And here is what you do with it.
Strain the greases into a can,
cover it and place in a refrigerator
until the can is full. When full
and only when full-take it to your
meat dealer. He will weigh it and
pay you cents pound for it. The
renderer will buy it from the meat
market and see that it gets to the
explosive manufacturer.
Here are some don'ts:
Don't use a paper or glass con-
tainer.
Don't allow the household fats to
accumulate. Take them in regu-
larly.
Don't bring them in on busy week
ends. Any other time is fine
Vital to War Program.
Here is the reason why this pro-
gram is vital-not just important:
Fats and oils are needed to pro-
duce glycerin. which is used for
explosives, signal rockets, recoil
mechanisms, steering gears, hy-
draulic equipment, pumps and gun
powder, the committee said Jap
anese conquests in the Pacific have
cut off normal supplies of oils from
the Far East. Household fats can
provide the substitutes needed.
Its a woman's job" said Horace
Walker, executive secretary of the
Salvage Committee. To-day the
home front army must equal the
sacrifice, the effort and the effec-
tiveness of our front-line armies"
More than 10000 circulars giving
particulars of the campaign are
in the mails going to meat dealers,
citizens associations, civic groups
and others asking organized back
ing for the drive. The committees
Women's division, representing more
than 1850 persons in virtually every
woman's organization in the city, is
organized to push the effort.
Meat dealers soon will have post
ers to mark places where fats may
be turned in

BY GILBERT STEWART, Jr.

An investigation by The Star to
determine why Eastern States, and
Washington in particular, are at
the bottom of the list of States in
per capita contributions to the scrap
rubber collection drive today dis
closed that economic and trade fac
tors furnish sound explanation.
Supporting statistics were almost
not to be found, but the opinion of
rubber trade experts, Government
officials and individuals directing
the campaign seemed to point to
this large single factor as outstand-
ing among many:
The East, where by far the largest
amount of reclaimed rubber has
been made in the past, has been
combed for years of the highest
grades of scrap-automobile tires
and inner tubes.
A tabulation of rubber collections
by regions, made by the Petroleum
Industry War Council, which is su-
pervising the campaign through
thousands of filling stations, showed
that the Eastern seaboard had per
capita contribution through July 3
of 2.7 pounds. In contrast, the Mid
west had 609; the Southwest, 5.36,
the Rocky Mountain States, CTS,
and the Pacific Coast, 1855.
No Rural Population Here.
The District of Columbia on that
date had accumulated 1850 600
pounds, Or EOS pounds per individ-
ual, the computation being made on
the basis of the 1910 census Of pop
ulation which gave washington
about $4,000 persons.
The Star first undertook to de-
termine if there was any factor Pc
cIliar to the District which would
bring is rate of contribution down
below that of the States 1t found
that there was-the fact that Wash
inoton he's no rural population.
Experts and officials were unan-
imouS in their oDinion that rubber
accumulations per individual would
tend to be larger, probably consid-
erably larger. on farms and in small
to"tio NiiSAN amply oIIhNS pSi iAAiAso
storage, and transportation prob
lens prevent its sale to scrap dealers.
On the other hand, persons who
live in apartments and small homes
have little room to save old tires
and tubes-the commodities which
make up by far the largest pro-
portion of scrap rubber. In ad-
dition, more miscellaneous rubber
from private dwellings would be
thrown into incinerators and burned.
No Large Industries.
Another point of difference is the
fac that Washington has no large
| industries. This source in the past
have been a considerable reservoir
| for such materials as rubber con-
veyor belts, machine mountings and
| the like
A factor tending to point in the
other irection-toWard higher con-
tributions In Washington-would be
its relatively high per capita in
come. This could be presumed to
mean more general buying per in
dividual, and thus greater buying

Wartime Bonus
For Maryland
Teachers Asked
School Officials Tell
Legislative Council
Of Rapid Turnover
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, July 9-Maryland's
Legislative Council today had be-
fore 1t an appeal from prominent
State school authorities to save
our educational system from ruin"
The council was asked yesterday
by Thomas G. Pullen, jr., State
school superintendent, and four
county superintendent, to consider
drafting legislation which would
make flat wartime bonuses avail
able to all county school teachers
for the duration. Z
Basing his remarks on volumni-
nous Statewide survey of teaching
conditions, Mr.. Pullen asserted it
was time for the State to do sone-
thing because it hasn't spent cent
to give the teachers financial aid
since 1941." &
He described numerous situations
where county teachers, bowling to
increased living conditions, had re-
signed since the war began to take
lucrative positions which industry
and the Federal Government have
dangled before Them
1886 Teachers in State.
Maryland's teaching force in May
totaled 1885 men and women, Mr..
Pullen reported High school teach
ers receive an average annual sale
ary of s1,515 and elementary teach
ers slightly less than $780," he
declared.
''If they go into governmental work
or industry" Mr. Pullen said, they
can obtain positions bringing from
81 400 minimum pay UP to two and
three times as much"
He predicted that the first five
years of the war" would find COM
plete turnover in county school
teaching personnel"
Between June, 1941, and May, 1912.
a total Of 742 white school teachers
and 103 colored teachers resigned,
Mr.. Pullen said.
And our records only go through
May, 1912" he said. II hate to think
what it will be like in September.
Naturally we expect the summer
months to exact heavy toll"
Current salary standards, enacted
by the 1899 Legislature, are reason
able in normal times" Mr.. Pullen
told the Council But I would like
to make four suggestions.
Protection for All Year.
These we're:
Make An adjustment for the
emergency only which might be
fiat allowance or bonus to each
teacher in county schools.
That the present salary schedule
not be interfered with.
TIE fiat sum, if appropriated,
should be given each teacher on a
percentage basis, lower paid teach
ers receiving higher increases.
/ Provision for the adjustment in
1923 should be contingent on the
continuance of the emergency.
/ Mr.. Pullen and councilmen agreed
that various counties might be
asked to match State bonus funds"
to better the teachers financial
situations.
Nicholas Orem, Prince Georges
County school superintendent,
pointed out that the bonus plan"
would not clear up the teacher
situation entirely.
Many of us have lost so many
teachers we can't replace them. Our
main thought is to retain those we
now have" he said.
