Soldiers Sit Down So That
Coffee Price Comes Down

Proximity to training camps
prompted a few nearsighted bust
ness men to jack up prices to men
in uniform, to their sorrow.
Selectees at a California camp be-
gan complaining that nearby res
taurant was charging them 10 cents
a cup for coffee while civilians paid
the regular price of five cents. But
not for long.
One morning the proprietor found
crowd of soldiers waiting for him
to- open the doors. He watched,
beaming and rubbing his hands
while they filed in until every seat
was filed. Each ordered a cup Of
coffee.
A couple of hours later the pro-
prietor was no longer beaming. The
soldiers were still there, dawdling
over their original coffee. His regu-
lar breakfast customers, unable to
get seats, had gone elsewhere.
When a soldier grew tired, another
quickly slipped into his place and
ordered-one cup of coffee. All day
long this kept up while the propri-
etor begged, cajoled, tore his hair
and finally consulted his lawyer, all
to no effect.
At shutdown the price of coffee
went back to five cents for all.

FIRE FIGHTS ON AXIS SIDE

The rapid growth of volunteer
civil defense groups is fine thing
for this country. 1t Is showing peo-
pie that the responsibility for pre-
venting and dealing with disasters
must be shared by all. People who
used to think of fire as something
which was exclusively the fire de-
partment's business, are learning
that it is their own personal bust
ness.
1t is natural and right that fire de-
Tense is one of the principal pur-
poses of the entire civilian defense
movement. America, like England,
may one day be showered with in
cendiaries from enemy planes. En-
envy agents within our own bor-
ders will unquestionably at
tempt sabotage on wide scale, and
fire is their main weapon. Unless
the people are trained and ready,
those agents will succeed--at ter
rible toll in American life, Amer
lean resources, American war pro-
duction.
The greatest present danger lies
in the normal fires--the fires that
are the result of human careless
ness, human indifferences, human
failure of hundred different kinds.
These fires strike homes--and
labor and materials must be divert
ed from the war effort to rebuild
and repair. These fires strike fac
tories and the production of vital
arms may be delayed. These fires
strike farms--and the production of
of food for our Allies and oursel-
yes is affected.
Almost every citizen can become
part of the vast fire fighting army
we need. All can learn the simple
lessons that will enable us both to
prevent fire, and to deal with fire

RESPONSIBLE TO THE FARMER

Some day someone will write a
book about the governments many
and varied legislative attempts at
farm relief. 1t will make big
book. Few subjects have engaged
more of the time and energy of the
lawmakers. But, despite the myriad
laws which have been passed, the
farmer still looks to his own organ
izations for leadership and advice.
The cooperative marketing asso-
Citations are cases in point. Their
growth in membership and pres
tige has been steady and sure. And
there's sound reason for that. Gov
eminent farm policies are variable
as the winds. They are subject to
immediate and drastic change at
any time, depending on the political
viewpoint of the moment. Coop
policies, so far as basic principles
are concerned, are fixed and stable.
The marketing co-ops fight for
fair prices, for better markets, for
equitable treatment of agriculture.
They teach improved and more
profitable producing methods. They
are rsponsible to their members
and they belong to their members.
They provide service above and
beyond that of any piece of legis-
lative farm relief" ever framed.

Black Light

Ordinary paper can be coated
with ultra-sensitive material and
produced quickly in large quanti-
ties, according to a report on air
raid preparations just made to the
American Chemical society by DR..
Harry E. Millson of Bound Brook,
N. j. Screens of cardboard and
other material can be coated with
luminous pigments that glow when
exposed to radiations of the ordi-
narily invisible ultraviolet light. If
power connections are disrupted
these screens give light for operat-
ing rooms in hospitals, vital tele-
phone switchboards, and other inn
portant places.
Ultraviolet light, generally known
as sblack light" often is used in
defense as a means Of producing the
phenomenon Of fiuorescence into 9TH
er substances. A fiuorescent carpet,
for example, can be lighted with
weak, invisible ultraviolet rays gen.
Grated from storage batteries. Even
in cases of complete blackouts per-
sons may follow fluorescent designs
to safety exits or into bomb-proof
shelters, because the light Is gen.

r. B. Chief Death Cause
Among Younger People

Although medicine and allied sci
ences have forged ahead in methods
of treatment, tuberculosis remains
the chief contributor to the death
rate among persons q to 35 in the
United States, DR.. Dean A. Clark,
National Institute of Health surgeon,
told members of the health division,
Council of Social Agencies.
Washington has the highest tuber-
culosis death rate in the country, DR..
Clark said, and is also the highest
in venereal infections among cities
of 5000 population or more.
Throughout the country, 40 per-
sons out of every 1000 white and
200 from the same number in the
negro population died from the
disease. But in Washington SO
deaths for every 100000 white popu-
lation were reported, DR.. Clark de-
clared.
In the District of Columbia there
is also an urgent need for the addi-
ton of mental hygiene branch to
the Health department, he said.
"There is no branch of medicine in
the district which is so inaccessible
to the low income group"
Speaking of accidental blindness,
DR.. Clark said mishaps that occur
in the home are the largest single
cause of blindness. Poor housing
conditions were present in 81 per
cent of the cases reported.

Toothpaste Tube was
Invented by a 'Yank'

Five hundred years ago John and
Hubert Van Eyck revolutionized
painting by introducing the first oil
colors that would dry on canvas sat
isfactorily. But the oil also dried
in the jar or pot, and for the next
400 years artists grumbled and
swore while they mixed their pig
ments little at a time for immedi-
ate use. Then John Rand, an Amer
lean citizen living in England, made
lead tube that was almost twin
of the one you got your tooth paste
out Of this morning. This kept oil
paint ready for use and squirted it
out in long or short worms as
needed.
Rand patented his invention in the
United States, and the new con-
tainer was first used by a firm of
paintmakers in New York. This
firm-fourishing now-is still put
ting oil paints into collapsible metal
tubes.
Little is known of John Rand. He
left no record of how he came to
invent his almost perfect container
and dispenser of semi-liquids. At
any rate, he was smarter inventor
than business man. He made little
or no money out of his idea.
Not until 1870 did a Philadelphia
manufacturer, forgetting about
paint, make extensive use of the
tube. And he certainly started some
thing when he put a good old aid
to milady's beauty, cucumber jelly,
into the first batch Of tubes that
came from the factory.
But it was only a start. The tube
did not really come into its own
until tooth paste became an impor-
tant household commodity.

SAVE TIRES

In meeting the tire situation,
farmers have one advantage over
city and suburban residents, the U.
| S. Department of Agriculture points
out. They are familiar with rural
customs built on years of coopera-
tive spirit.
Customs such as barn raisings
and husking bees, and long exper-
fence in changing work and organ
izing rings for big jobs such as
threshing and silo filing, give
farmers a good start along the way
they need to go to make the most
of tires. Urban motorists can gain
by doing likewise, and farmers by
doing more of the same.
Also experience in more formal
cooperative organization Is being APP
piled In the tire crisis, the Farm
Credit Administration reports. The
local assembly coop is proving "a
natural" as a tire saver. Many OF
these have been operating for years,
and others are organizing for the
emergency. They save by making

poultry and eggs, and milk and

they carry and distribute farm sup

HOW TO PLANT A VICTORY
GARDEN

Believing that many persons
would be vitality interested this year
in a simple, tested home garden
plan, Ferry-Morse Seed Company
anticipated this possibility last
summer by keeping an accurate
check on plot of 20 by 40 feet in
size. The information and a dia-
gram of the garden have been ar
ranged In the form of an attractive
folder which tells how to plant and
care for Victory" garden that
should keep a family of four sup
piled with fresh vegetables all
summer.
One side of the folder gives de-
tailed instructions as to the garden
plan, while the other develops such
topics as selecting the location, pre-
pairing the soil, planting the seed,
thinning the young plants, wedding
and cultivation, and hints on gath
ering the vegetables.
Experts of the company gave
special emphasis to vegetables that
are high in vitamin and mineral con-
tent. They recommend that the rows
run the width of the plot, and list
the following kinds of vegetables:
Ridash, lettuce, Swiss chard, carrots,
beets, peas, turnips, bush beans,
squash, tomato, and corn. Alternate
choices are given to guide the gar
dener who does not care for the ORR
ginal selections.
A border of zinnias, petunias, or
marigolds is suggested for this Vic
tory garden.

Chemicals From Seaweed
Produced by Scientists

Seaweed is a crop that is unaf-
fected by drouth, erosion, or gov
eminent regulation. 1t Is general
name given to a group OF plants
whose varieties are almost as di-
verse as all the rest Of the vege-
table kingdom, varying In size from
microscopic organisms to plants the
size of a small tree.
They differ in one important re-
spect from other plants. Taking
their nourishment from the sea in
stead of from air and soil, they are
freed from the necessity Of being
rooted in one spot. Moreover, the
difference in food requirements has
resulted in profound differences in
both the physical and the chemical
structures from those Of other
plants.
Seaweeds are usually rubbery
rather than fibrous in structure.
They contain no cellulose, the
fibrous substance that accounts for
about half of the matter in lana
plants. Instead they contain relat-
ed substances of a gelatinous ma
ture. These seaweed gelatins and
cellulose both are derived from
sugar. The various sugars are rela-
lively simple compounds of carbon,
hydrogen, and oxygen that the
plants synthesize from carbon diox-
ide and water. When few sugar
molecules, of the order of a hall
dozen, are linked together chemical
", the resulting compound is dex-
trim (the sticky stuff on stamps). A
joining together Of still more sugar
molecules forms starch. Cellulose,
in spite of its apparent dissimilar-
ity to sugar, is actually a compound
of thousand or so sugar molecules.

Town Sells City Park

Legend has 1t that farmers, from
time to time, have been sold the
Brooklyn bridge, the Empire State
building, or a gold brick, but it re-
manned for the town of Ada, Okla,
to pull a prize boner that should be
given top honors. Walter Brooks
bought 10 acres of ground from a
tax resale list. After buying the
property through bidding sale, he
went to look at the property. He
discovered that he had purchased
part of the city park. How the
park property was listed on the tax
rolls was not accounted for, SO now
the town is seeking some means Of
canceling the sale; giving Brooks
back his money, and the town keep
ing the park.

Grating the adrenal glands Of
sheep into the abdomens Of victims
of Addison's disease is reported to
have resulted in immediate inn
provement. Without prompt treat
ment this disease, physicians say,
usually proves fatal. Muscles be-

At the Purina Experimental Farm,
calves are seldom sick or securing, be-
lieved to be due largely to the dry feed
ing plan followed. Calves, having feed
before them all the time, do not gorge
themselves as they do when fed heavily
only twice daily,
Another reason their calves are sell
dom sick, according to Pratt, Is that
when calves are fed milk from q pail,
a certain amount of milk may enter
the rumen or first stomach. This Is
harmful since some Of It may not be
brought back to the mouth with the
cud. Calves on dry feed are not trou-
bled in this manner. While limited
amount of milk is fed the first month.
the calf Is taught to eat dry feed at the
same time. The dry feed helps to bring
back with the cud any milk that may
enter the runen.
Pot Bellies Reduced
Calves raised on milk frequently be-
come pot-bellied, a condition no doubt
due to the overlooking Of the stomach
twice daily and to a certain amount OF
bloating that this gorging produces.
Dry feeding, on the other hand, reduces
pot bellies almost to the vanishing
point. A normally healthy calf has no
occasion to gorge herself, eliminating
the danger Of pottiness.
Calves grown on the dry feeding plan
lose their baby fat in short time, and
never do become fat. Although persons
inexperienced with the method may on
first trial become alarmed that their
calves are not doing well, it is actually
strong point in its favor. It isn't adj
visable to have heifers become fat. It
is much better for them to grow lean.
hard muscle that will give them
strength and ruggedness.
The thin appearance Is noticeable
most during the first few months when
the framework Of the young heifer is
growing rapidly. The growth Of flesh
simply lags behind. Where milk-fed
calf fills the hollows with fat, dry-fed
calves of necessity allow the hollows to,
show. However, by the time a calf is
four months old, most Of the hollows
are filled with firm, hard flesh, and the
calf is trim and smooth.

in selling more milk by raising their
calves on the plan outlined above may
obtain additional information from our

1t takes approximately 200 gallons
Of milk to grow a milk-fed Holstein
calf to is weeks of age. But fine calf
can be grown on only Is gallons of milk,
If the other ITS gallons are replaced
with about 400 pounds of dry feed.
That's releasing lot of milk for hui
man consumption, milk for which the
government is asking as part Of the
national defense program.
The plan for saving this milk is
simple, according to e. B. Pratt, dairy
specialist with Purina Mills, manufac-
turers of dry calf feed called Calf
Startena, rich in the ingredients q
growing calf needs.
Briefly, the plan is this. The calf is
permitted to suck for the first three
days. During the next four days, she
is given quart of milk night and
morning, plus all the Calf Startena she
will eat. During the second week the
calf receives two quarts of milk night
and morning, plus all the hay, water,
and Calf Startena desired. During the
third week, the amount of milk is in
creased to two and one-half quarts
night and morning, but for the fourth
week, the milk is reduced to one and
one-half quarts per feeding. At the
end of the week, milk is discontinued
entirely.
Calves do much better when dry
food and water are before them SO they
can nibble and drink any time they
WISH" Pratt explains. MANY dairy
men prefer timothy or mixed hay to
alfalfa or vine hays because calves may
over-eat on the latter types and scour.
The calves should always have salt
available"
Costs Less and Easier to Feed
Pratt says that 1t is considerably
cheaper to grow calf on the method
outlined. Of course, the saving de-
ponds upon the price received for the
milk sold. He explains that on the
usual milk method of feeding, approx
imately 200 gallons of milk are needed
to raise Holstein calf to four months.
On the dry feed method, it takes only
about Is gallons of milk and four bags
of Calf Startena. In other words, each
bag replaces approximately 40 gallons
of milk.
Besides milk, there is also consid-
cradle saving in time and labor. For
example, there are no messy milk
Buckets to keep clean and free of flies.

NO COMMUNICATING OF

Motorists need have no fears Of

Il. 1t is imperative that all mo-

the tires they now have. Military
demands must be first in the use of
existing stocks of rubber until new

actual war needs are clear.
"2: Motorists need have no fear
of Communicating of their cars
or 'confiscation' of tires. OF
course, no one can foretell what
might happen as last resort in
crucial wartimes. We all know that
the American people will respond
to any national need. But there is no
reason for individual car owners to
fear any immediate action in way
of Communicating or 'confisca-

conservation and restricted driving
will do more than anything else
