Iodine Helps to Build
Healthier Hog Litters

In some cases, pigs born dead or
too weak to nurse might have been
saved If the sow had been fed a
ration containing iodine.
Other symptoms of iodine def
cheney include hairless bodies or
poorly developed hoofs. Fall and
summer litters are affected to a less
er degree than spring pigs born in
February, March and April.
These losses may be easily pre-
vented by feeding small amounts of
iodine in the form of potassium 10
dide to the sows during the last
two months of pregnancy. Veterina-
rians frequently prescribe. one level
teaspoon of potassium iodide for SO
sows once a week. One gram, or
approximately one-ffth teaspoonful
weekly, is sufficient for 10 sows. Mix
ing potassium iodide in the water or
feed each week saves labor and in
sures intake of this goiter-preventive
agent. In emergency, this amount
can be given every other day until
three doses have been given. Week
ly treatment is then recommended.

STATEMENT BY STATE
DIRECTOR OF sELECTIvH
sERVICE,

Why is 1t that my boy was induct-
ed into the armed forces and 10 now
fighting In Italy while Johnny Smith
who grew up with my son Ii permit
ted to remain at home and make big
wages in the shipyard
That question is frequently asked
members of the Selective Service
System by parents Of Maryland men
and deserves most considerable an
swer.
Take the case of Johnny Smith. 1t
Is not that he is permitted" TO re-
main at his war production job, but
in effect has been ordered to stay at
his civilian employment by Selective
Service. Our function Is to choose
certain men for induction into the
armed forces and certain others to
remain at their civilian jobs in order
that badly needed war equipment
shall continue ITO be produced I'm
quantities absolutely required by our
armed forces. In justice to these men
who have alreay gone to war, we
must make sure that no shortage. of
war material shall endanger their
lives or make more difficult the
splendid fight they are making.
Ut should be clearly understood
that large numbers of young men
chosen by the Selective Service to
remain In industry are very unhappy
that they are not permitted to volun-
teer for induction; but we are insis-
tant that they must remain at their
jobs until we can determine that they
will be more useful to the armed fore
es. Occupational deferments are In
no case given to accommodate the
wishes or convenience of the regis
trant. They are only given when the
needs of our country indicate that
they are necessary. Nor is the regis
trant's skill always factor. Often
unskilled men must be deferred un-
til such time as replacement can
be hired.
A large part of Maryland has been
designated by the War Manpower
Commission as an area of critical
labor shortage.

South American Industry

Production of textile mills in Sac
Paulo, Brazil, in 1912, increased 40
to SO per cent over the previous year.
This was attributed not only to in
stallation of new equipment, but also
to fuller use of existing spindles and
looms. Brazilian textiles are report
ed improving steadily in quality, and
leaders of the industry express
themselves as optimistic, particu-
larly over prospects of exporting cot
ton yarn. Rayon output in Brazil
also has increased substantially.
The situation in Chile is different,
due to the fact cotton must be i'm
ported. But, following the pattern of
industrialization which the country
has experienced in many fields, the
number of cotton mills grew from 16
in 1886 to 40 in 1910. The textile
industry as a whole, exclusive Of
jute, hemp, and similar fibers, en-
ployed $4,000 workers in that year.
OF these, 4,420 were employed in
the wooden industry. An estimated
IS per cent of its yarn is spun locally
from Chilean wool. This means that
almost the entire wool clip of the
central and south central zones is
absorbed by Chilean spinning and
weaving mills. Chile also has a -four
ishing rayon industry.

Use Convenience Outlet

II possible, use your iron on
convenience" outlet, preferably
one in the wall a little above the
level of the ironing board, and place
the board parallel to the wall. This
is the best position to keep the cord
from twisting and dragging while
you work. Cords, too, are difficult
to replace, so give them the best Of
care. While a light socket or drop
cord may be used for the iron, it is
not a satisfactory arrangement il
any quantity of ironing is to be done.
Neither one is built to carry enough
current to heat the iron properly,
which will mean longer hours Of
work for you. Eventually such a
connection may cause the socket
and the insulation to break down
and make the socket unsafe to use.

Use 500 Tugs for Traffic
In Busy New York Harbol

The All square miles Of the New
York harbor area IL the busiest
stretch of water in the world and 1t
requires the day-and-night service
of over 500 tugs to keep harbor traf-
fic from hopeless snarl.
Tugs are engaged In q constant
and never-ending fight against time
as they jockey, push and pull ship
tonnage greater than ever before
moved in the history Of the world.
Fourteen million long tons were
handled by the harbor tugs last year
and their efficiency enabled Allied
shipping to go and come on split
second schedules.
Over a hundred tug companies
are operating fleets of tugs on the
harbor and adjacent areas accord
ing to the Shipbuilders Council OF
America. While tugs are equipped
with expensive shore-to-ship radio,
some of the dispatching Is still done
by megaphone. Dispatchers along
the Battery are often located more
than 20 stories high but years OF
experience enable them to holler
specific and clearly understood di-
rections through the roar of street
and harbor traffic. Dispatchers are
key men and must know their BUSH
ness as time Is precious, and tugs
must never lose minute in aimless
cruising.
Rated as the most active water
in the world, the New York harbor
sector is also the most tricky. Cur
rents shift with every tide condition
and tug shippers must anticipate ev-
cry condition. They are men with
years of experience and they make
their sturdy craft move ships many
times their weight. A single error
can cause a loss Of millions in q
minute.

South America Is Making
Own Portland Cement Now

i In Peru, Portland cement is pro-
duced by only one company. Re-
ported output rose from 1872, 1899 bar
rels of ITO net Kilograms each in
1910, to 987, 482 barrels in the first
nine months of 1912. Japan was the
country's largest supplier from
abroad in 1910 and 1941. Peruvian
imports of cement dropped from
los 1850 barrels in 1910, to 30,573 bar
rels in 1871, and to 1858 barrels in
the first nine months of 1912.
Bolivia has been producing most
of the cement it requires. When
present expansion plans have been
completed, it is hoped output will
suffice for all needs. The one ce-
ment company covered SO per cent
of consumption in 1910 and 81 per
cent in 1941. Present annual output
is about $4,000 metric tons. 1t is
hoped to double this.
Chile produces most of the cement
1t uses. The minister of finance
states that the Sociedad Cemento
Juan Saldada, S. A., capitalized at
40 million pesos, has been formed
to manufacture cement. One project
is for a plant in the Province of
Coquimbo. In Panama, the presi-
dent of the Republic has been a NOV
ing spirit in plans for cement
plant. An announcement appeared
in La Estrella de Panama of the or
ganization Of a $1,500,00 corpora
ton for the purpose. Tentative plans
have been drawn for a plant in
Maria Eugenia, village in the Chi
libre area of Panama. This site is
said to be accessible to hydro-elec-
trio power, and to reserves of raw
material adequate to maintain a
100-ton daily capacity for rs years.

Wool ShrinIxage

Since the beginning Of the wooden
industry, traditional procedure has
been to estimate wool shrinkage-in
other words, the difference between
the weight Of the wool in the grease
at shearing time and the weight aft
er securing to remove the grease
and foreign matter.
For many years the average esti-
mated shrink of much wool has been
GA per cent. However, grower woods
tested by one experiment station
have had shrinkages ranging from
SO to go per cent. For example, the
experiment station clip has been
secured by grade during the past
two years to determine the differ
ence in shrinkage between grades
within a band. This wool has had
a shrinkage range from the low 40s
to "a per cent for all grades.

Colored Smokes Identify
American Ground Troops

Rainbow-colored smokes which
puff out from tiny cannisters In red,
orange, yellow, green, and violet
hues now enable American tanks
and other ground vehicles in the
battle zones to operate with greater
freedom In areas Of intense air ac-
tivity without danger from attack by
their own planes.
The need for simple yet reliable
Identification Of ground forces was
recognized as early as World War
I, when military movements were
relatively slow and aerial warfare
was In It's infancy. With the swift
moving tanks Of World War II, sup
ported by squadrons Of planes, this
need became imperative, az evinced
by the savage attack on German
tank division in North Africa few
months ago by Nazi dive bombers.
The Germans, from their high alti-
tude, thought they were attacking
British tanks.
Even before our entrance into the
war, U. S. military authorities gave
attention to the problem of identity
ing ground units from the air. One
proposed solution was to paint a
distinctive design In white or yellow
on the top or side of the tank or
other vehicle, but tests demonstrate
ed such designs made perfect tar
gets for enemy bombing planes. Ac-
cording to Brig. Gen. Alden H.
Watt, writing in the Infantry Jour-
nal, "It was obvious that there
would be more danger In using this
system Of Identification than there
would be in leaving the tank un-
painted and taking a chance that 1t
would be bombed by its own air.

Metal Protective Finishes

of the value Of metal-protective fin

quently encountered In practice can
now be had In a matter Of days In
comparison with months for ordi-
nary exposure tests.
This new technique involves the
use Of thin, uniform films of paint
applied to small sheets Of iron foil
about one two-thousandths Of an inch
thick-approximately one-eighth the
thickness Of the paper on which this
Is printed. The film Of finish to be
tested Ii about one-thousandth Of an
inch in thickness.
/ To facilitate handling and obser-
walton, the thin iron foil is attached
by colorless resin to glass micro
scope slide-one inch by three inches
after which thin film of the paint
to be tested is brushed on the upper
surface Of the metal foil.
These tiny test panels are then
exposed to carefully controlled,
humid atmosphere in the laboratory,
which results in rapid rusting of
the metal foil underneath the thin
paint film in much the same way
that painted structural steel would
ultimately rust under actual condi-
tons of service. The time that
elapses before visible rust spots de-
velop on the iron foil gives an indi-
cation Of the degree of protection
afforded by the paint being tested.

Don't Pull Cord

When you disconnect the iron, take
hold of the plug-don't pull on the
cord. Pulling may loosen the wires
from their connection with the heat
ing element and once contact Is
broken the iron will not heat. When
you put the iron away for the day,
always take the plug of a detacha-
BILE cord out Of the wall outlet be-
fore you remove the plug from the
iron itself. Pulling the cord off the
iron while the current is still flow
ing may pit the terminals and even
tually ruin them. If the cord is at
tached permanently to the iron, be
sure the iron is cold before wrap

Poultry Crowding

Too many cooks spoil the broth
and too many hens in the hen house
cut egg production. A safe rule in
housing laying hens is to allow four
square feet Of floor space for each
bird Of breeds such as Plymouth
Rock, Rhode Island Red and Wyan-
dotte. Smaller birds, such as Leg
horns, can get along with about 31s
square feet bird.
Overcrowding also results in in
creased sickness and death losses
In the flock. The bad effects of tenn
porary overcrowding can be reduced
by providing more feed hoppers, wa
tering fountains and deeper litter,
but culling flocks to remove the
drones should not be delayed too
long. Although more than four
square feet of space is not likely to
increase production, less room will
certainly mean fewer eggs than the
flock would Otherwise lay.
