gram for cooperative action in war
industry centers to conserve and
utilize manpoWer for crucial jobs,
through agreements among indus

OTHERS THAN FARMERS
WILL BENEFIT HERE

The establishment of an alcohol pro-
ducing plant in Imperial Valley, the i'm
mediate purpose of which would be to
furnish alcohol from which rubber could
be made, should be as vital to all as it
is to valley farmers.
Such a plant would furnish a steady
market, peacetime as we'll as wartime, for
grains and some other farm products
grown in the valley. Stabilizing the mar
ket, it would make for a sounder all
around business structure here, would
strengthen farming conditions to a larger
degree than in the past, and would pro-
vide additional employment
AS part of a nationwide plan, such a
producing program would make new
products available to consumers every
where do away with complete depend
ence upon distant parts of the world for
SOM materials, and send the United
States into a new producing era compar-
able in many respects with the beginning
of the machine age. As long as crops
grow and scientists are able to convert
them into strange forms and shapes, there
need never be a material shortage in this
or any other country. Any such shortage
comes more from shortsightedness, self
ishness on the part of powerful people,
and lethargy on the part of those who
could, if they would, break the log Jams

GIVE YOUR HAIR
SHEEN TREATMENT

Do not powder over this foun-
dation. Do not use rouge. Apply
lipStick and mascara generously,
line eyebrows quite heavily with
an eye pencil but be sure to fol-
low your natural arch. Eye shadow
is not necessary unless you have
bulging eyes.
Your hair should be set a dav or
two before your appointment. Bril-
liantine applied at the last minute
will produce nice highlights.
Don't wear a hat unless you
don't mind the photograph becom-
ing outmoded and downright laugh
able in fairly short order.
And remember: no lighting will
counteract the dull look of fatigue
in your eyes-so get a couple hours

Heath
Writes:

There are very disturbing un-
dertones in the verbal chastise-
ment which OFF Director Archi-
bald MacLeish has given the pub
Usher and editCr of a radio trade
publication.
The storG has received most at
tention in trade circles, but its
any competitive squabble between
newspapers and the radio.
The Office of Facts and Figures
made a study Of reader -hearer re-
action, to determine the best media
through which to get government
messages to the public. The result
was mimeographed and distributed
discreetly in government circles. A
radio publication obtained possess
sion of a copy, and printed such
portion as made radio look good
and the newspapers look bad. Mr..
MacLeish says that the selection
gave a distorted picture of the
Offs conclusions. If that is not
true, if the magazines story is
not distorted, then we feel sorry
for a wartime government forced
to rely upon so inaccurate a re-
search organization as the OFF
would appear to be.
Accepting Mr. MacLeish's dis
claimer, and assuming that the
complete study did produce the
truth, we wonder why Mr.. MacLeiSh
does not now release the real facts?
Instead he has chosen to ex-
coriate the magazine for using
government material not officially
made public.
That alone should be of public
concern in this squabble.
What the magazine printed was
unpleasant to newspapers. Mr.
MacLeish says it was erroneous il
its conclusions. But by no widest
| stretch of the most fertile imagi-
nation did the publication betray
any war ;iecr2t-anything which
could be of aid or comfort to Hit
Ter, Hirohito, or even poor old Be-
nito ussolini-remember him? Tht
fat boy of Rome?
Mr. MacLeish says the mimeo-
graphed copies were plainly mark
ed Confidential" We know OF
one, at least, that was not. But
what if they were? Has the time
come when, in order not to give
aid and comfort to the axis powers
federal censorship can forbio
publication of the results of a sur
vey to determine whether more
people get their news from the
newspaper or from the radio?
That would be tragic. That
would play into the hands of those
who fear that, to save democracy
we MAJ be asked to give up more
of democracy than we need tC
waive.
Every editor is under obligation
today. to consider carefully the
strategic implications of what he
prints.
Every editor is under ethical OBJ
legations, always, to see that what
he prints is accurate in spirit as
well as in letter.
We deplore the radio publica-
tion's distortion, if it did disto"t
We believe that its right to print
such a story if it correspondent
had the initiative to acquire the
facts, should be unquestionable.

about fearless American explorers,

deep in the heart Of Pra2il, look

they can shoot. it being too far
inland for food supplies to be trans
ported TO them.
The anticipated happy end
ing To these stories will be that
the fearless explorers, way
back in some jungle never visit
ed by white man before, will
find a beautiful Shangri-La Of
rubber trees, supplying enough
rubber to make tires for every
one. So optimistic are some the
orists about this possibility that
preliminary requests have been
drawn up for priorities on co.
600 cups to gather the rub

But wait up a minute. There are
still few realists remarking point
edly that if this country is SO re-
mote, it might be bit difficult
to get the rubber out, even If the
explorers do find it, which the
skeptics seriously doubt they will.
And this tin-cup priority business
is typical of some OF the fuzzy
thinking still going ON III high
places. Brazilians have been ga
thering what little rubber they can
find in gourds, for %ears, and there
is no priority on gourds III the

BOBBIE PINS
TO BOMBS

New York Times)
Anyone who goes on a buying spree is
sabotaging the war, Secretary MOrgen-
thau said recently. Figures released by
the War Production Board show why.
Practically every article of ordinary
household use or of everyday wear COM
petes with the war effort for vital mate
rials.
The rubber that went into one months
supply Of baby pants last year will make
$500 rubber life RATS of the kind that
Navy fliers lived on for thirty-four days
in the mid-Pacific The steel used last
year for bobbie pins will make 10000
one-ton aerial bombs. The cork in beer
and pop bottles will make 100000 life
preservers. One lady's handbag is the
equivalent of a pair of aviator's gloves.
The steel in one set of golf clubs will
make thirty hand grenades. The alumni
mum from 200 ordinary pots and pans
will make pursuit plane. A gallon of
gasoline saved by giving up the Sunday
drive will put bomber one mile closer
to the enemy target. The list goes on and
on.
Up to now we have actually had to sac
rifice very little because we have been
living on accumulated stocks, but from
now on the job is to turn bobbie pins
into bombs, baby pants into life RATS
and pots and pans into planes.

GLORIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEA Service Staff Writer
just about the incest present for
the sweetheart or son who's off to
war is new photograph of your
self.
But of course you want to give
that-a picture of YOU-and not
what one noted photographer calls
"a picture of somebody having her
picture taken 1t might be a good
idea to keep that acid outline of
the stiff, posey photograph in
mind. 1t should help you to find
a good photographer. Look at
samples of his work, and choose
one who makes pictures that look
like living people.
And you will have to cooperate
with the photographer.
If possible, have a facial and
correct makeup applied by a pro-
fessional before you go to the ap-
Eointment for, if you know that
your surface is in order, you'll be
much less likely to present to the
camera a face all furroWed with
wonder about that eyebrow or that
mole. If a professional makeup
isn't possible, then wash your face
before you go, take makeup with
you, and give yourself at least
twenty minutes to apply it in the
studio.
Comfortably settled, remove all
your street makeup with cleansing
cream and then generously pat on
n finicbipp prpam Of some kind Of
slightly oily foundation prepara-
ton. This will give your skin a
smooth finish and will conceal any
minor blemish and make lines and
wrinkles less conspicuous.

DOWNRIGHT DECEITFUL

RealistS in the raw rubber sup
ply business doubt that there Is
enough native rubber in all Latin
America to supply more than 10000
tons, or less than one-half OF l
per cent of U. S. needs this year
Consequently, it is downright de-
ceptive to lead anyone to hope that
there is any immediate or eventual
solution to the rubber shortage IN
the woods of the western hemi-
sphere.
Department of Commerce
statistics show that the best
yield of Brazilian rubber ever
obtained was $1,000 tons a year
when the price was S1.50
pound. Top price today is SO
cents, and there is no enthuS-
iasm for going out and get
ting il at that price.
Such rubber as it produced in
Brazil has three possible outlets,
under present world shipping con-
ditionS: Brazilian manufacturers
can grab it for home consumption,
it can be exported to the United
States, it can go out the back way
through Bolivia to the Argentine.
Brazilian rubber export figures for
the month of May, 1912, latest Zig
ureS obtainable, tell this story.
Total production of Brazilian
rubber that month was 1000 tons
Of that, 1850 tons went to Brazil
ian rubber manufacturers, $50 tons
came to the United States and the
rest went to Argentina Argentine
buyers got over twice as much as
the United States did, and the Ar
gentine is the most active compet-
itor this country has, all over

A LOSING GAMBLE

In the face of this situation, the
pressure from some government
sources on Uncle Jesse Jones and
his Rubber Reserve Corporation, to
finance a lot of rubber plantations
in Latin America, is said to be
terrific. 1t takes eight years to get
production from a newly planted
rubber plantation. In the face OF
certain U. S. synthetic production
within two years, in the face Of re-
storation of the Dutch Feast Indies
and Malayan supply at the end
of the year, no one but sap
would be interested in taking this
gamble.
William La Varre, chief of
the American Republics divi-
sion of the Department of
Commerce, goes so far as to
say that, "If every Boy Scout
i'm the United States could be
set to exploring the alley jun
giles i'm this country and collect
40 pounds of scrap rubber
apiece between now and Christ
mas, il would produce more
rubber than can be imported
from all Latin America"
Charles T. Wilson, president Of
the U. S.-MeXican Chamber Of
Commerce and a former buyer for
Rubber Reserve, now privately en-
gagged in developing native guayule
and castilloa rubber sources in
Mexico, is equally pessimistic on
the outlook there. At best, Mexico
can produce only enough for its
own consumption in the next year.
