ployees for the achievement--that's
news. That is the proud record OF
what happened in a period of less
than 81 months in production in the
Buick motor plants, now manufac-
turing Liberator bomber engines
The company has made Is million OF
these bomber engines, representing
80 million horsepowers, which pro-
vides power for $3.50 Liberators.
Harlow H. Curtice, chief executive
of the Buick Division of General
Motors Corporation, at Flint, Michi-
gam, said that the production of all
these engines represents what is be-
lieved to be the lowest ratio of pro-
ductive man hours per horsepower
manufactured in the history of avia-

BUTTER VS.. OLEOMARGARINE
By j. r., Jones

washington, -. u, NOV. o-Con-
gressmen Andersen of Minnesota
and Fulmer of South Carolina had an
interesting tete-a-tete this week af-
ter Professor Carlson of the Univer-
sity of Chicago threw down the chal-
lenge: Gust try coloring butter red
and see if any one will eat it." An
dersen wanted to know why margar-
inc must be colored yellow. Fulmer
insisted that five million farmers
were opposed to lifting the restric-
ton on the sale of food that wanted
to look like butter" Professor Carl
son Clipped in and said he considered
a tax against margarine ''tax
against the common man." and he
expressed the belief that there should
be an abundant market at all times
for both butter and its substitute,
inasmuch as the two are equal in di-
gestibility and nutrition.
Charles w. Holman, dairyman,
advised the protagonists that fight
about margarine and butter was just
like fight in small country church,
in which he said, 'the church is all
but torn down when the fracas is
over" He reminded the Congress-
men this thing started in 1876 and
will be going on for many years yet. ;"
The upshot of the whole subject
indicates that if the Federal restric-
tions are removed there still will be
restrictions imposed in 32 States, in
asmuch as margarine has long been
product about which nobody Is
neutral.
The margarine manufacturers say
that their product is now fortified
by Vitamins A and D, but the dairy
industry still insists that it is not a
"fair competitor" and Congress has
been warned that the dairy inter-
ests object to all efforts that will
masquerade margarine SO that it
will look like butter.
Disturbing Question
There are thousands of contractors

ing from the cancellation of about
billion dollars of war contracts by

eminent news releases show that
thousands of contractors have al

offered plan to enable it to secure
small loans through local banks upon

Throughout the country.
Apparently few manufacturers
know whose factory will be tenn
