ANTI.RACKETEERING BILL

In adopting the Hobbs anti
racketeering bill by a vote of 270
to 1O7, the House of Representa-
tives has shown that neither the
American public nor its elected
representatives will tolerate extor-
tion and other practices by some
factions of organized labor which
interfere with the efficiency and
success of the war effort.
The bill amends a 1884 anti
racketeering act by providing PEN
alties of not more than 20 years
Imprisonment and not more than
$4,000 fine for interference with
interstate commerce by robbery or
extortion, or interference during
the war with the transportation of
troops, munitions. war supplies. or
mail in interstate and foreign COM
merce. 1t must now go to the
Senate where it should be passed
speedily. Reputable organized labor
leaders should welcome the meas
ure for wedding from their ranks
those who by their nefarious prac-
tices are discrediting labOr's efforts
in the war. Labor's gains of the
prewar area will be protected since
passage of an amendment to the
measure assures that nothing in
the bill repeals, modifies. or affects
labor sections of the Clayton Anti
Trust Act. the Norris-LaGuardia
Anti-Injunction Act. the Railway
Labor Act. or the National Labor
Relations Act.
The Hobbs bill is aimed at the
restriction of those who retard the
war effort. and as such. should be-
come national law.

Farmers To Report
On AAA Compliance
CONTINUED frcm First Page,

farmer will measure his acreage
and will report it to his county AAA
office on forms to be provided by
the office. Farmers also will re-
port acreages of crops grown for
soil-building purposes and for
which there is a payment under the
AAA program. Marketing quotas
will be in effect this year only on
cotton and tobacco, Mr.. Pase said,
but war crops, such as peanuts,
soy beans for beans, and sweet po-
tatoes for market must be meas
ured and reported for the purpose
of determining if goals were met
Commercial truck crops and Irish
potatoes for market also must be
reported for the purpose of deter
mining incentive payments.
THE most likely procedure far
mers will follow is to measure and
determine acreage before crops are
planted and then stay within the
acreage set aside for this purpose"
Mr.. Pase said. I'm such cases, it is
imperative that farmers retain their
records for use in substantiating
their reported acreage. The record
of measurements should include
sketch of the fields measured and
distances may be shown by chains,
yards, or feet. When computed.
however. the measurements must
allow the same total acreage as
by the farmer"
In past years. measurements of
farms have been made
by community committeeman or
others employed by the AAA. Com

pected to assist farmers in making

Set Up Procedure To
Get Canning Cookers
toontinusd from Flrst FaEsl

g.. Fill in the form and return il
to the committee. who will issue
you notice of approval or disap-
proval.
3. II approved, you must locate
a dealer from whom you can buy a
cooker and notify the committee, in
writing, of this fact.
4. The committee will then issue
you a Purchase Certificate.
This procedure is necessary so
that only as many purchase certifi-
Gates will be issued as there are
pressure cookers for sale in the To-
cality.
The main objective of ratiOning is
to place the pressure cookers where
the greatest possible pack of home
canned food will result. Therefore,
applications will be considered fa-
vorably in the following order: (D
Organizations such as groups spon-
sOring canning centers; (2) neigh
borhood pools. consisting of several
families who agree to share the
same cooker; (3) individual fam
lilies. In the instance of joint ap-
plication, (as l and p. each appli-
cant is required to sign the form.
Materials were allocated for the
production of 100000 pressure
cookers for the whole country. The
manufacture began about April l.
and production will extend through
September. The first 10000 cook
ers are being sent principally to
the South and West. where the
canning season begins earlier.
Most of the new pressure cookers
will be of war model. with en-
ameled steel bottoms and tin-plat-
ed steel tops. Nearly all of those
being made now will be of the Z
quart family size (holding glass
quart jars of IA No. tin cans).
Gamers manufactured by several
different companies will be distri-
buted under this plan, but it may
not be possible for all purchasers
TO obtain the one preferred. These
cookers insure home-canned vege-
Iables against spoilage and reduce
he hazards involved in improper
-ood purchasing. They are not nee
,ssary for canning of fruits, to-
natoes. and other acid products,
lut are recommended for canning
foods and meats.

A NEW DEAL IN RATIONING
Bv ]. q. HOMES

Secretary of Agriculture Wick
ard hasn't been a very hot favorite
with the New Deal most of the time
since he stepped into the shoes OF
Henry A. Wallace when the latter
was appointed to the nomination
and elected Viee-President of the
United States.
But gradually Wickard has been
gaining the support, confidence
and goodwill of the people of the
country. Just how thins all came
about is hard to explain, unless it
is because the Secretary has shown
the independence so often discov-
cred in the true son of the soil.
Most Cabinet men are expected
to put the stamp of approval upon
the ideas of old-school politicians
in Washington. But they didn't

Kent County Farmers
Plan For Drainage
CONTINUED from First PsEs,


have been held at the DAILY and
Attix homes where this farm drain
age program was explained, and
the interest which was shown at
these educational meetings indicat-
ed that a soil conservation district
will be formed in Kent county in
the near future.
Interest in this type of farm
drainage began over a year ago
when the Kent county agent in CO.
operation with the Soil Conserva-
ton Service arranged for drain
age demonstrations on a few farms
as a contributing factor to the food
production program, the preserva-
ton of wild life. and the cOnserva-
ton and maintenance of soil fer
tility. all of which are vital to the
public welfare and the general in
terest of everyone associated with
agriculture. Unavoidable circum-
stances. however, prevented the
completion of these demonstrations
on all the farms which were Sc
lected for this purpose. but under
this newly formed plan it will be
possible to drain a large number
of farms throughout the county.
A petition requesting the forma-
ton of a soil conservation district
is now being circulated by inter-
ested farmers in the western sec
tion of the county. and this petit
tion will be ready within a short
time to be submitted to the state
soil conservation committee. At
other areas or districts are formed
in the future they will become
part of the district for the county.
and this important project eventual
ly will be expanded to include all
areas in which adequate drainage
is vital factor in the profitable
operation of these farms.

Cancer Is Durable
In Early Stages

ods. and the use. singly or in COM
bination. of the three weapons that
can check or destroy or remove
cancer, namely. X-ray. radium and
surgery, points out the board. How
ever. it reminds people that can
Ger is peculiarly personal prob
lem and that it cannot be checked
or controlled by medical men alone.
If cancer is present. the earlier it
is discovered and properly treated,
the greater are the chances for cure
and for this reason anyone with a
suspicious cancer symptom should
go to a reputable physician immed-
lately.
For instance. the chances of cur
ing cancer of the breast are almost
four times greater if it is treated
early than if it waits until the ad-
vanced stages; and in cancer of
the pelvic regions the chances of
cure are eight times better if
treatment begins as soon as the
first symptoms appear.
Danger Signals
Some of the danger signals OF
cancer, as pointed out by the Board
Of Health are rs follows:
/. Any unusual lump OF thick
ening, especially in the breast.
.. An irregular or unexplained
bleeding.
8. Any sore that does not heal
particularly about the mouth.
tongue or lip.
4. Persistent indigestion. often
accompanied by loss of weight.
5. Noticeable changes in the
form. size or color of mole or
wart.
6. Any persistent change from
the normal action of elimination.
Cancer Not Contagious
Cancer is not contagious. 1t is
believed to be caused by the uncOn-
trolled growth of one or more
cells or tissues in the body. Deaths
are often due to obstruction of some
vital passageway by the rapidly
growing cancer mass. AT other
times the cancer may grow to such
a size that the blood vessels which
bring it food cannot bring enough
to nourish all of it, Parts of the
cancer then die. causing blood pois
oning. Approximately 100000 per-
sons die each year from cancer.
The great hope for cancer patients
lies in recognizing and treating the
disease in its early stages but this
must be done by reputable physi-
clans.
Avoid Cancer QuackS
The Board of Health warns Del
awarcans to avoid quack doctors
and quick cures" saying that a
reputable doctor does not promise
an absolute cure. demand an ad
vance payment for his services nor
does he advertise. Cancer cannot
now he cured by any known SER
ums. salves, Ointments or special
diets.
There is only one sure way TO
make certain of the presence of
cancer and that is through the ex-
of the suspected tissue
by a trained specialist using X-ray.
If cancer is found to be present it
can he treated successfully by the
removal of the growth, OF
its destruction by radium or x
rays.
Cancer is curablc in most cases if
the person is diagnosed and treat
ed when the symptoms first appear.
To delay may be fatal, warns the
State Board of Health.

NOrth-SOuth would even miss their
game.
For South to bid five clubs would
give up hope of slam, and to bid
five diamonds would be a sheer
gamble.
South found a ur-no-trump
bid-not intended as a conventional
bid, of course-to be the least of the
evils. With club support North
would take it back to five clubs, and
with a good suit North would surely
bid the suit if for no other reason
than that suit contracts are safer
than no-trump contracts.
And that is how it worked out.
Over four no-trump North bid five
hearts. South raised to six hearts
and the contract was laydown.

The bidding

1t was very good tactics on the
part OF East-West to risk a vul-
nerable sacrifice. At four spades
they would have gone down only 200
points, saving sure game and prob
ably slam. And Easts four-spade
bid put South squarely on the spot.
What should South do?
Technically, South should pass.
His two-club bid was forcing to
game, so North is not supposed to
pass out four spades; North should
double with a worthless hand or
bid a long suit if he has one. But
the danger of the pass was this:
North might fear that South. not
vulnerable against vulnerable oppo-
nents, had tried a third-hand psy-
chic. North might pass, too, and

Beauties Hints
 Nations Mothers Must Learn To Fight Dust Carried Germs
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

America expects S,O0O.OO0 "bleSSed events" in loAS. But with tho ever. Increasing bumper crops of babies, there is an equally disturbing de- crease In the number of doctors to tend them.
 And 50 mothers must learn to rely more and more on their own knowledge of what to do to keep their youngsters hale and hearty.
 During National Baby Week = May 1 to May 6 - there will he Q special program of lectures, forums. exhibits, displays and pamphlets to tell mothers of the newest develop. ments in child health, psychology, food, nutrition and cleanliness.
 Cleanliness, health experts insist, is the first requisite for Q healthy baby. Infants, especially, are sus. oeptlhle to dust-carrled germs, end their daily bath either at the be. ginning or end of the day--is the most important part of their care.
 Young babies, like little Sally Ann, should be bathed in tepid water with a soft washoloth and Q pure white mlld soap which makes velvet studs and fathers easily. When 1t is thoroughly dried. the baby should be carefully powdered or oiled, and dressed in Q fresh shirt, And not to defeat all your careful precauStlons against duSt-carried germs, make sure that the crib blankets and bed linen arc ever. fresh.
