Newspapers To Aid
 Metal Salvage Drive
Old Printing Plates to Be Collected; RatOning Order
 to Become Effective October

Critical metals now lying idle in obsolete printing plates will be channe,ed into war use by action of the director general for opera tions, War Production Board.
 Order ff-99 provides that, after Oct. 1, owners of obsolete plates may not acquire any new metal Printers and publishers who obtain new metal must certify on their purchase orders that they do not have in their possession any ob- soleseent plates.
 Purpose of the order, it was ex- plained by the printing and pub fishing branch of the WIPE, Is to clean out existing stocks of old electros, cuts, stamping dies, zinc and aluminium ntho plates and gray ure cylinders. Stereotypes and standing type are not included in the order.
 The order sets up these time lim- its for obSolescence:
 Newspaper printing plates not used for one year.
 Magazine and periodical printing plates not used for one year.
 Book printing plates not used for four years.
 Container printing plates not used for four years. . All other categories of printing plates not used for two and one hali years.
 Plates having an assured future use are excluded. This includes such plates as cuts in newspaper and magazine morgues which illus trate subjects still in the public eye plates for books not generally sub ject to revision and which normally are reprinted at long intervals. and

stock and standard cuts used in commercial printing.
 Several methods are open for the disposition of the plates. Copper en- cravings may be sold to authorized eIectrotypers. Zinc and other metal plates may be sold through cus- tomary scrap channels, or to au- thorized smelterg and refners. Eiec- trotypes, which represent by far the largest tonnage of obsolete plates may be sold to any one of the fol- lowing companies:
 Essex Metal Alloy Co, Inc, Newark.
 National Lead Company, New York City.
 Metro smelting Co.,, Philadelphia, Penn.
 Metals Reserve Company, a Sub- sidiary of the Reconstruction Fi- nance Corporation, at the request of WIPE, has set up a plan for the handling of electrotypes. The above listed companies will purchase electrotypes at one and one quarter cents under the current New York commend grade lead price, fob. the buyers plants. They will remove the copper sheeting and sell the tin- antimony-le alloy to Metals Re- serve through National Lead, its agent. National Lead will then re- move the tin content and forward it to Metal and Thermit Corpora ton which will produce electrolytic tin for the Metals Reserve Com pany. The residual anti-monial lead is used in the production of small arms ammunition.

Diagnosis Of Acute APPENDICITIS

Special care in interpreting the
blood test used in diagnosis of acute
appendicitis will be necessary in the
case of men recently indicted into
army service, DR.. Hugh McKenna
of Chicago warns the younger med
ical officers of the army.
World war experience with appen-
dicitis in military hospitals forms
the basis of DR.. McKenna's note
to appear in the forthcoming issue
of the Journal of the American Med
ical Association.
The white blood cell count, fire.
quently used in diagnosing acute
appendicitis, is lower, DR.. McKenna
points out, following the triple ty-
phoid vaccination now used in the
army.
"The blood picture sometimes puz-
zled medical officers in making a
prompt diagnosis of acute appendi-
citis," DR.. McKenna says of World
war days. "Any factor which may
delay decision in making prompt
diagnosis in acute appendicitis is
hazardous and must be corrected in
order that surgery may not be de-
layed."

Seaweed Substances Are
Used for MANY Articles

Lying somewhere between starch
and cellulose in completely are the
gelatinous materials Of seaweed.
These substances have been used for
human food for thousands of years.
Less needed for food now, they have
found other uses, particularly as adj
hesives and sizing materials for
paints, plasters, and textiles.
Probably the best known of these
seaweed jellies is agar, which is
made in Japan. The plant is boiled
with water, and the resulting broth,
after being strained from the solid
residue, "jells" on cooling. The jel-
ly is then frozen. The freezing dis
rupts the structure Of the jelly, and
after melting the agar is left as a
spongy solid which dries to a horny
solid.
Agar is highly important in bac-
THEOLOGICAL work because of its prop
erty of forming jellies that solidify
at around body temperature but
which then do not liquefy until heat
ed to considerably higher tempera-
lures. The dried material is also
used in medicine as a laxative be-
cause of its ability to swell to a
bulky jelly on contact with water.

OF Recent Origin

Glaciers in the Sierra Nevada
mountains are very recent in origin,
not relics of the Great Ice age as
tourists are informed by guides. Both
the glaciers and Owens lake are
less than 1000 years old, according
to DR.. Francois Matthes Of the Unit
ed States Geological survey. And
1000 years back is "only yesterday"
in the geological time scale.
From its salt content" DR.. Mat
thew says, 'it is clear that Owens
lake cannot possibly date back to
the Great Ice age. The lake ap-
pears to be the same age as the
small glaciers of the Sierra Nevada.
1t is probable that these glaciers
made their last great advance as re-
Gently as 1850. If the glaciers were
older than 1000 years they would
have deposited much more material.
They cannot possibly date back over
10000 years to the Ice. age"

Angora Rabbits Profitable

Youngsters whose inclinations run
to pets could do exceedingly well
raising Angora rabbits for wool as
the demand for this rabbit wool In
increasing year by year. One per-
son can care for 1000 woolers and
this number can be housed Oh q
quarter-acre of ground.
An Angora rabbit produces from
IL to Is ounces Of wool year and
is clipped every IL weeks for the
2A-inch-length wool which grades
first. The longest wool Is on the
back and sides, amounting to about
seven-eighths Of the entire fleece.
Clipping Angora wool rabbits In
done with the ordinary sharp point
ed shears seven inches long. It takes
about 10 minutes to clip an Angora
adult and it is easy to do. First
grade Angora wool brings as much
as S. per pound.
Angora rabbits are fed mostly on
oats, corn, wheat, barley, greens,
roots, codliver oil and minerals, be-
sides alfalfa hay.

Production Of Calcium
Cluconate Speeded Up

Calcium gluconate, valuable drug
IN the care of expectant and nursing
mothers and Of other persons need
ing quick additions Of calcium to
their blood, can be produced more
rapidly and cheaply as result OF
new researches by scientists Of the
U. s. department Of agriculture.
Until a few years ago, calcium
gluconate could not be used in medi-
cine because Of its excessive cost.
Then department chemists discov-
cred that certain strains Of mold
fed upon glucose solution, could pro-
duce commercial quantities of glu-
comic acid at very low cost. Added
to calcium carbonate, in the form Of
common chalk, 1t converted that
compound into the valuable calcium
gluconate.
The most practicable production
procedure is to grow the mold in
sheets In slowly rotating drums.
through which air is forced, for the
respiration of the mold plants. Diff
ficulties were encountered when the
gluconic acid concentration piled UP,
retarding the fermentation process.
Chalk added at this stage resulted
in the formation Of a good deal Of
undissolved calcium gluconate, clog
ging up the drum.
The difficulties were resolved
when three bureau of agricultural
chemistry researchers, A. J. Meyer,
E. J. Umberger and ]. j. Stubs,
discovered that the addition Of a lit
tie borax or boric acid to the fer
menting liquid keeps the calcium
gluconate in solution and lets the
molds finish their work. Later, the
gluconate may be separated from
the solution, free from boron.

Newly Weaned Kitten
Needs Five Meals Daily

The newly weaned kitten needs
five meals a day, two of meat and
three Of warm milk. This either
should be fresh milk with a little lime
water or some evaporated milk and
water, equal parts. Milk substitutes,
such as infant foods, may be used by
preparing them just as for infants.
Or well-boiled wheat cereals and
oatmeal may be given. Crumbled
toast in milk or a well-beaten egg
in milk makes a nice change. The
kitten should be given strained to-
mato Juice once a day, starting a
teaspoon at q time, increasing to a
tablespoon at the end Of the third
month.
BY the end Of the third month the
kitten should have strained vege-
tables such as cooked spinach,
string beans, carrots or any other
nonstarchy vegetable with it's meat
at dinner. Two Of the milk meals
may be eliminated now. Raw beef
may be varied by lean, cooked NUT
ton, lamb, chicken, Goldfish or rabbit.
The bones all should be removed
from the meat, for they splinter in
the throat or stomach and cause
trouble. A teaspoon of cod-liver oil
daily makes a good tonic and quar-
ter Of teaspoon Of calcium lactate
daily helps build strong teeth.
Kittens should be started on the
raw beef at five weeks while they
are still nursing. A very minute
amount should be given at first,
scraping the meat from a good
round steak. Increasing amounts
should be given until, at eight or
nine weeks, when the kitten Is
weaned, they are getting a good
rounded teaspoon twice day. By
the time the kitten is this age, the
meat may be cut very fine and, as
its baby teeth develop, 1t can be CIV
en- a thin strip Of beef to gnaw.

Explanation Given for
Having Second Sight

One often hears Of persons who
have acquired Second sight" in old
age. Like most other elderly peo-
pie, they had been obliged to wear
glasses for reading, but when they
reached the age Of 70 or 80, they
discovered that they could read as
well or better - without their
glasses.
Such stories tend to give the i'm
preston that the sight may--and
often does-improve in old age.
What really happens is that the lens
Of the eye gets harder with age, and
along with the hardening, its index
Of refractions SO increases that 1t
becomes stronger magnifying lens
and thus is able to replace-either
partially or wholly-the spectacle
lens used for reading. The vision
becomes better for near objects but
less distinct for distant ones; the
person actually becomes nearsight-
ed.
The reason glasses have to be
worn for reading by persons with
normal distance vision, after they
pass the age Of As or so, is that this
same hardening process of the lens
makes it increasingly difficult for it
to focus on near objects, such as
fine print.

RIBOFLAV1N IMPORTANT
FOR PRODUCTION OF
MATCHING EGGS

"Riboflavin is greenish orange coll
ored vitanin present in eggs, milk, liver,
dried grasses and dried alfalfa" says
DIR. H. ]. Smith, Director of Research
for Purina Mills. 1"It puts the Matching
spark, the will to live, into fertile eggs.
When breeding hens do not get enough
Vitamsr G their eggs hatch poorly.
Those chicks that do get out Of ths
shell are weak.
''It is well to note that when baby
chicks are given a ration low in Vitamia
G they grow slowly. If their feed Is
entirely lacking in Vitamin G they get
q crow-headed appearance" DR.. Smith
says. Certain forms Of paralysis are
claimed to be caused by a lack of this
Riboflavin substance. Some chicks de.
velop 'notched' beaks, which the Cali
fornia Experiment station has found to
be caused by insufficient vitamin q.
A Powerful Element
$50 potent is this Ribof1avin that its
presence in various sources is infinites-
NAL" says DR.. Smith. ut can only be
measured in millionths Of a gram. New
ertheless the least insufficiency Of Vita
min q definitely limits hatchability and
restrict chick life and growth.
1.-THE available sources Of Ribofiavin
such as dried milk, dried alfalfa and
dried yeast-have long been studied. In
vestigations show that these ingre-
dents sometimes contain large amounts
Of vitamin g, and other times they
contain very little.
'These observations, together with
the knowledge that the slightest def
cheney Of vitanin G has so marked en-
effect upon egg hatchability and chick
INABILITY, have caused research scien-
fists to find q way to insure the presence
Of ample vitamin G in poultry mashes.
The outcome has been the development
Of new special Vitamin G (f1avin in
gredient, known as Puri-Flave. 1t is
made by special bacteria under hygenic
laboratory conditions, and has proven
very helpful to us in insuring the Vita
min G content Of our rations"

Carlisle Indian School

The Carlisle Indian school operat-
ed from 1879, when 50 young Indians
arrived from the Sioux reservation,
until its close in 1918. The school
originally was an old army post
which the war department turned
over to be used as school for In
dams. Capt. H. r. Pratt, who later
became brigadier general, became
interested in the idea of educating
the young Indians in non-reservation
schools, away from all influence of
their traditional tribal customs. At
the time the school was given for
that purpose it was agreed that il
needed it would be returned to the
war department. At the close of
the World war it was transferred
to the war department for use as q
field school by the United States
army medical corps.
