increased demand for some time.
1t is true that in 1882 and 1888
when money was scarce and feed
was cheap a lot of farmers used
horses instead of trucks. But the
American is a mechanical minded
man and unless he just naturally
takes to animals he would a lot
rather drive motor AS. one horse
expert said to me:
What's more a lot of folks are
afraid of horses. Many men who
will drive a farm truck so miles an
hour nowadays would think he had
a runaway on his hands if team
he was driving broke into a trot."
On the more serious side of the
question however, is the possible
longtime demand of the army for
essential materials that 60 into
trucks and tractors and which may
cut down perceptibly the machines
that run farms today. A lot of farm
ers, like lot of city people, really
can't afford to own the machinery
they have. 1t makes work easier. A
horse is more trouble than a ma
chine. But a machine is not always
necessary to do farm work any
more than car is necessary to the
city dweller to do the work his own
father made a shank's mare do.
Also, horse can eat lot of nom
salable roughage, which food is
much cheaper than gasoline is going
to be while we need it for tanks and
airplanes and army jeeps.
The United States now has 100, 900
civilian pilots at the end of 194l, or
five times as many as it had on July
l. 1888. About $1,000 of the new
pilots were trained in the Civil
aeronautics administration program
begun in 1899.

COUND deadening in the home is
y readily accomplished by blanket
or. solid-fill insulation in the wall
areas, while some ceiling treatment
may be advisable as well to isolate
the playroom and bathroom.
Solid insulation is commonly in
serted in mat form or blown in fol-
lowing construction, in either case
completely filling the wall or floor
space between studs or joists.
Blanket insulation is woven
through staggered studs for optimum
effect. The additional air space re-
sulting from the stagger likewise
provides greater area for sound alb
sorption.
Tile shaped acoustical coverings
nailed directly to the joists or affixed
to a plaster base with a strong ad-
hesive are most effective in regulat-
ing sound transmission in low-ceil-
inged rooms where reverberation is
intense.

Fundamentally to the production of these necessary

Mr.. Roosevelt pulled no punches in his speech to

asserted that the must be offensive effort with
American armed forces FUSED at any place in all the

After citing figures relating to the contemplated

The farmer came across.
He produced more the past yeaI
than any year in history. Never has
America blossomed and borne fruit
as she did. Next year the produc-
ton will be even higher for the de-
partment Of agriculture found that
the farmer was willing to meet the
goals set up last August, and even
to exceed them.
But that doesn't mean that the
food-for-victory problem has been
settled. Now the department Of
agriculture finds a part of the prob
lem back in its own lap, for we are
in the war ourselves and our allies
depend on us for supplies. The farm
er must be assured labor, supplies
and machinery to carry out his part
of the job. And the professor must
have the equipment to take care Of
perishable products when the farm
er lays them down at the door.
Experts here tell me that the
farm-labor problem is not unsolv-
able. The combined demands of war
and industry mean that the farmer
will have to put up with older hands,
with less skilled farm hands. It
means that schools will have to be
dismissed at harvest time and when
harvest time and cultivation time
come together. 1t may mean land
army of women. But the farmer will
get the help he needs, even if it isn't
exactly the kind Of help he would
prefer.
Can Get Repairs
The farmer can also get the parts
he needs to repair his farm machin-
cry.
He will get some new machinery,
enough to get by with.
He may have to skimp little on
the nitrates and the phosphates al
though at present there are reserve
supplies.
But the big problem is to provide
the professor with the essentials he
needs to prepare the food and to
wrap it up in packages for the con-
sumers. Take for instance milk:
some "a new evaporating plants will
have to be built, some $50 cheese
factories will have to be put up.
And PIGSl This year was a rec
ord crop. Next year will be bigger.

squeals for freedom? That is one
thing which the secretary of agri-
culture is battling over now. 1t takes
tin and stainless steel and a lot of
other things which the army wants
before you can change a pig into a
portable meal And the army is
tighter than Sunday shoe when it
comes to welding up any of those
essential metals. 1t is interested
chiefly in destroying. not preserving.
Food Goals Raised
The department of agriculture has
raised the food goals already it has
called for a Is per cent boost In
the tomatoes wanted; 80 per cent in
snap-bean corn and peas for can
ming Russia is very likely going to
ask for food that we had not figured
ON supplying, China may need more.
And then, who knows there may be
an American Expeditionary Force,
probably will be before we are
through. which will have to be fed.
Modern armies still move on their
stomachs. but even in that position
they cannot eat off the land as they
used to.
i.ese extra, added demands were
moi in the cards when the original
food for freedom" goals were set
up. But they viii have to be taken
care Of. Americas good earth can
produce them, the farmers can and
will raise them. The next thing is
to wangle the means of putting them
into the packages that will take
them where they are going. It's a
big job-one of those which when
done, will win the war.

Whipping The U-Boats

When the began in Europe, the experts dis
counted Germany's submarine campaign against Great
Britain largely upon the experience Of the first World
War during which the convoy system was perfected
Increased losses however emphasized the necessity of
dealing with the peril Naval experts understood that
It's gravity due to the lack of patrol vessels and
believed that, in time, destroyers and patrol
ships could be constructed, the submarine menace
would be conquered.
It might not be out of place to call attention to
the plight of the British Navy when the war began
Due to the disarmament folly the British fleet was in
no condition to keep open the Atlantic lanes and to
preserve the Mediterranean lifeline. Consequently
British merchant shipping had to take beating.
1t is comforting to report, however, upon what
seems to be competent authority that tanks guns and
planes are arriving at British ports in phenomenal
volume and that the battle of the Atlantic although
not in the headlines, is being won. For more than
three months, reports Roscoe Drummond, Washing
ton correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor
Axis submarines "have been scurrying for safer
waters and leaving Great Britain and America in un-
questioned mastery" of the North Atlantic.
MIR. Drummond reported last week that the unified
Anglo American naval operations in the North Allan
tic using convoy technique developed by the u S.
Navy has been successful that only one Allied
merchant ship has been sunk since September 10,
which was sixteen days after the "shoot-on-sight'
orders to the American Navy and that for more than
three months there has been loss of commercial
shipping

Will the Horse
Stage a Con1ebock?

my kingdom for a horse!"
A lot of the people who own Amer
ica's 30 million vehicles may muir
muir that wish before long.
With sale of new autos and trucks
banned pending rationing and with
the rationing in effect, MY kingdom
for horse" may become no idle
wish.
And nobody knows today when the
farmer will be told he can have no
new farm machinery when what he
has wears out.
So the question naturally comes
up, will the horse come back?
In the city he just can't. Some
cities won't allow horse-drawn vehi-
cles on certain streets. Washington
is one of them and not long ago a
man drove an old-fashioned carriage
with team of mules down Sixteenth
street just to see if he could get
away with it. He did-because
after all, even a cop knows a mule
isn't a horse.
But the city man, even if he learns
which end of the horse to put the
crouper on, wouldn't have any place
to park the animal-he couldn't leave
it out beside the curb all night the
way many do their cars.
On the farm the horse may be-
come necessity. But his return
win not be achieved overnight. In
the first place every year with the
increased mechanization of the
farm, the supply of horseflesh has
been dwindling. The situation isn't
as bad as it was some years ago be-
fore vaccination scotched the sleep

duce the equine population still fur

more, after these people are
taken off WPA there is an In
terval of five or six weeks be-
fore they obtain Jobs in private

his mind on the question yet and

workers crowded the auditorium

Many of them claimed that their
remaining on the WPA had been
due to the discrimination shown
by employers because of their age
