Most of the fats we eat as foods we

just as true of home-produced goods
as of goods we buy abroad.
Fat saving tricks don't make the
headlines but they can help in war.
Here are some suggested by "Consum-

SumerS' Counsel Division of the De-
partment of Agriculture:
1. Save and Use any fat YOU trim

record in war production, the Ameri-

its monthly labor survey.

production has increased fourfOld since

'Production of all goods, war and

The survey goes on to cite other
examples that tell the same story of

"A war housing project, larger than

carefully. When you've found the COM
bination that gives coffee the strength
you like, stick to it.
8. Never boil coffee Boiling max as
it bitter and less fragrant, for it drives
off the aroma and Spols the flavor. So
called boiled coffee is really stepped.
That is, the boiling water is poured
over the coffee and kept hot, but not

Best coffee is made by the drip
method, experts say. TO make drip
coffee pour water that has been heated
to the boiling point over finely ground
coffee and allow it to drip through. 1T

SAVE ON WRAPPINGS

If everybody cuts the use of paper
for grocery bags 30 per cent there will
be 100000 tons of paper freed for other
more essential uses in the war, says
Consumers Guide" publication of the
Consumers Counsel Division of the
L. S. Department of Agriculture. See
if you can cut in half, or even more,
the number of bags you use.
Carry Il market basket when you go
to shop. BE sure, if you buy one, that
it's strong enough, not too heavy, and
has sturdy handle Or use a large
paper sack, the kind some self-service
stores provide. See how many times it
can go to market before it must be dis
carded for Il new one.
If you don't like these ideas, try a
cotton string bag. It's easier to man
age than Il basket or Il paper bag. Take
Johnny's play wagon to market to pack
with Il weeks grocery supplies. (YOn'll
save money, too, if you buy all you
need for Il week ut one time). If you've
started riding a bicycle, fasten II
basket to the handebars. Put your
packages i'm the baby carriage.
Don't ask the grocer to put every
article You buy in Il separate paper
bag, or to use Il bag or sheet of paper

''A number of large plants in New
York have devised ingenious schedules
to work personnel 40 hours n week
and machines 16S hours" Commission
er Miller said
Outline of Plan
Under this plan, according to the
commissioner. four crews work three
shifts week in a 2O-weei cycle so
that the following conditions exist:
livery man works five days in n
row and then is off at least Is hours,
after which he changes shift.
2-Over each period of 20 weeks
every man works five extra days, to-
falling 100 shifts in 20 weeks.
3-Over each period of 20 weeks
every man has five Sundays off.
4-Over each period of 20 weeks
every man has five pay days with 10
days pay and five pay days with II
days pay, if he works full time.
5-Same crews are always working
together.
Commissioner Miller commended this
plan for its efficient use of manpowcr
ON IL IO-hour week and its recognition
of the fatigue factor in industry when
lowers output, increases accidents and
causes work Stoppage.
such plans go II long way toward
helping us meet Donald Nelson's chal-
lcnge," Miss Miller said.

Americans. Especially Americ n
wage earners.
You need to know something about
District so!
District 80 is getting to be very i'm
pOrtant in the news.
If YOU don't know what District 80
is, let it be set forth here.
District 80 is John l.. Lewis en-
pire. The official designation is Dis
trict 80, United Mine Workers of
America.
But District 80 doesn't have any
geographical boundary, like District
10. or District %.
District 80 is not composed OF
geography; it is composed of people,
That is n mighty big difference.
Empire Without Boundaries
When John l.. Lewis wanted to 20
after chemical workers he put them in
District 80 = the empire without Il
boundary. That's where he's now try
ing to put farmers.
When Lewis thinks a miners dis
trict has laid itself open to discipline
he takes away its rights, fires its of
fcerS and the fear is always present
that the suspended union may be put
i'm District 80. That fear exists now
in West Virginia.

District Reminiscent of Klan
There is something reminiscent OF
the ku KluX Nlan in this District %
buSineSS-;n invisible empire of human
beings whose law, as far as organza-
ton is cOncernrd is laid down by john
l.. Lewis.
John l.. Lewis has done some pretty
fine things in his life. But it has TO be
set forth also that he has climbed ill
and up and has sought always to climb
higher in power.
Snarling at men with whom he had
gone literally arm in arm not long
before, ne crashed his way out of the
American Federation of Labor.
He led what set out TO be Il gallant
band of men. With these men he ere
ated IL dual movement. And that term
is used factually and without malice
at this time
Later on some of the men i'm the
little band made up their minds that
the adventure wasn't 50 gallant. They
still liked the prrpOSc-the organizing
of vast armies of unorganized workers
but they got IL different slant on
John l.. Lewis.
Lewis Motto Not Liked
These men found out that Lewis
doesn't subscribe to that old American
adagc which says, "If You can't beat
'em, iine en- Lewis adDge has beer
Get there somehow-Nntory juSlifies

Came along the diSaffcclion of Davi,
| Dubinsky, who said he paid his money
and was never consulted. Followed tn,
battle between Sidney lIillman anC
Lewis. And there was the almost un
belicvnble blow at President Roosevelt
struck by Lewis, after Lewis had built
from weakness To strength under laws
toStered by Roosevelt.
When your motto is that victory JUS

and even fairness.
So we have District 5O-thc inviSibl,

If you saw the U. S. navy riding
majestically in sea of milk,
chances are you'd call it a night
mare. But could be! Our farmers
this year are scheduled to produce
81 billion quarts of milk-more than
enough to float not only our navy
but every battleship, aircraft car
rier, cruiser, destroyer and subma-
rine owned by the United States,
Britain, Russia and all the other
United Nations combined.

to make line reaching seven times

Or 227a billion pounds of meat
enough to pave seven four-lane high
ways an inch thick from New York
to San Francisco-seven of them.
Or 81 million acres of corn-an
area one-ifth larger than Italy and
Sicily combined.
But why all this production of
food and fiber? 1t isn't a part of our
victory plan to drown the Nazis in
milk or to lombard the Japs with
eggs and potatoes.
Farmers Build Planes and Ships.
Well, food and fiber are not mere
ly so many bags of wheat and so
many bales of cotton. They are Fly
ing Fortresses and big battleships,
like the Washington and the North

the Wasp; and General Grant tanks;

the crops our farmers are harvest

United States.

Yale, for example, one of the
most conservative of all the univer-
sites, has gone all out-not so much
to develop single outstanding
team, but to have hundreds trained
in the matter of condition and dis
cipline that football demands. Ger
tainly no university is doing a finer
job. also could mention Maryland
and many others.
The Change
These teams want and will work
for winners. But beyond that more
attention will be paid to mass than
to class.
Students who never thought of
football before now will be shown
the feeling of hard body contact, of
increased speed, of improved stam-
ina, of quicker reactions in cOmpe-
titiOn. In the universities, the col
leges and the prep schools there
will be at least five, or possibly ten,
football players in training against
one for other seasons.
why someone has asked,
shouldn't these men be in active
war service?"
The main answer is that the war
department wants it this way. First,
because most of these men also are
taking war training. Second, be-
cause the war department wants it's
coming requirements and reserves
to be the best soldiers in the world,
trained and conditioned for what is
to come later on.
Every university and college of
any standing in the country is doing
its best to comply with the demands
or requests that come from the top.
Football is already under full
swing at the Naval Cadet camps
located at the universities of Geor-
gia, North Carolina, Iowa and St.

forms for soldiers and clothes for
civilians. Aviators' jackets, pants,
helmets, and boots are lined with
shearling sheep skins. In fact, the
average soldier uses 100 pounds of
wool a year, against an average of
21a pounds for civilians.
But vital as are these materials for
our weapons of wan they are much
less important than the food which
nourishes our workers and sustains
our fighters. Food is one essential
without which no man can fight or
work.
Bataan Proved 1t.
Look at Bataan to see how
true that is. Look at Bataan to
see the Importance of food. Ac-
cOrding to reports, mule meat
and rice were all our forces had
to eat from early February I'M
til the time of ultimate surren-
der. We just couldn't get through
to them with enough pork and
beef to do them any good. And
what happened? Our last coun-
ter-attack failed, not because of
bullets or bombs, but because of
sheer exhaustion. A shortage of
food and sleep had drained out
almost the last dregs of vitality.
Bataan fell only after it's defend
ers no longer had the physical
strength to stand.
That time, food worked for the
enemy. Given the shipping, six mil
lion American farmers are deter
mined that from now on food shall
work for us. They know that today
a tractor used in production of food
is just as important as tank on the
battlefield. They know that what
they do on their farms is important.
The number of planes, tanks and
