they have been stored for winter
and there isn't much storage space
left for our surprise package OF
potatoes. 50 It's up to the Amer

Extra storage facilities have been

are working at saving the crop.
WOULD WASTE SPACE
Potatoes are too bulky to ship
overseas when dehydrated foods
and grain take far less space. That's
why nutrition strategistshave as
signed potato supplies to the home
front.
There are over thirty million
families In the United States. If
every family Immediately buys two
bushels Of potatoes-one for present
use and one for winter storage
the danger Of loss will be eased. II
svery citizen eats more potatoes,
whether at home or in restaurants,

appear soon.
Present ceilings range from 81

plan Is TO keep the stamps valid

be spent without the riots that oc-

Taxation Of the muscles and fascia
behind the lower portion Of the
canal the abdominal structures may
protrude directly forward.
SUSCEPTIBILITY
While these congenital defects are
the fundamental cause Of hernia,
certain types Of people seem parti-
cuuarly subject to It. These are
fabby, soft people, those with heavy,
pendulous abdomens, those who are
clumsy and awkward In their move
ments, and those who do particular
" heavy work, such as lifting and
pushing. The strain Is the precipi-
tating cause.
In war industry, the medical ex-
animation required Of employees is
likely to discover the presence Of
hernia. A few may be given me-
charical support like q truss. People
with such debility cannot be placed
on work requiring much physical
exertion, and the dangerous emer-
gency Of strangulation remains.
Generally, surgical repair Of the
hernia is necessary before ordinary
activity can be resumed. A salts
factorily repaired hernia rarely
recurs, ana provides strength, COM

WE, THE WOMEN --
Man OF 81 Sets Example
For Elder "UnemplOyableS"

Mr.. Rhodes said that when the
United States Employment Service
clasSed him as "unemployable" he
didn't believe 1t, and so went out
and got himself two Jobs, and is
now buying q war bond every
month.
However, there was another thing
in most Of those letters that was
MT so encouraging. They said, "Of
course could probably get job
doing this or that-but I want
something better"
CAN'T BE CHOOSY
An older person who badly needs
q Job can no more afford to take
that attitude than can q young per-
son. When you're looking for work
you can't always get what you want
or what you think your brains and
experience entitle you to.
You often have to take what you
can get. The man who got two
jobs after being classified as "un-
employable" probably didn't get the
kind Of Jobs he started out look
ing for. But he is employed. and
well enough employed 30 that he
can lend Uncle Sam a little bit
every month.

In every community there are
some forgotten or little t1ought-of
place where potatoes can be stored.
It's up to the local defense com"
mittees and merchant groups TO
work together in finding these
places and putting them to work
for victory.
Fresh Irish potatoes are not diff
cult to store. They need q cool dark
place with temperature not lower
than 40 degrees and not higher than
90 degrees. Many varieties will keep
well from three to i've months II
stored at 20 degrees. II kept at 80
degrees, they will keep only for q
month or six weeks.
For home storage, cellars, clos
cts, back porches or even q barrel
or pit in the back yard will do.
Keep them way from light-light

them taste bitter. Don't allow them
to freez as that viii spoil them.
Many chain and independent
stores are now featuring sacks OF
potatoes on the Victory Food
Selection" They weigh so or 100
pounds. Even apartment jewellers
can store these and help the flght.
A hail closet can be cleared out
for the duration and turned into
an emergency potato bin. Potatoes
will keep in such Q place from Q
month to six weeks there Is not

Rupture Is not an accurate term
for many hernias, since hernia
would rarely occur were there not
present a performed sac or at least
an abnormal relaxation In an exist
ing opening. The strain that causes
the increased pressure within the
abdomen produces the hernia by
forcing the portion Of the abdom-
inal structure through the congenital
defect, and is thus to be consider
ed the exciting cause only.
HERNIA TYPES
The common hernias fall into four
types, Of which the first appears
at the navel, and regardless Of the
age at which 1t appears is always
due to the congenital failure Of the
umhilical opening to close. The
second kind occurs at the site Of an
abdominal wound, occasionally &C
cidental. but more frequently follow
ing an abdominal operation. Infect
ed or draining wounds are more fire.
quent causes for incisional hernias
A third type 10 the femoraI her
mia, which Is more common In
women, and in which the herniated
tissue slides beneath the inguinal
ligament and presents small, elon-
gated, rounded mass high up In the
front Of the thigh.
The fourth and most common
type Of hernia is the inguinaL This
is so because there q q cleft IN
muscles Of the abdominal wall oi
the male that permits the passage
Of the apeEmatlc cord. A simpler
but less well-deveiopea cleft exists

GERMANY BUILDS
 30 SUBS A MONTH
700 May Be Put Against United Nations Supply
 Lines in Spring
By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign Editor

London, Jan. 19. - (UP) -G Ger many is building 20 to 30 submarines a month-twice as fast as the Allies can sink them-and will have 800 to 700 to throw against the United Ma tions' supply lines in the spring, ac- cording to the best available infor- nation.
 This great U-boat armada will be sent into action in the next four months when Adolf Hitler will make climactic-and perhaps f1nal-ef- fort to avert total defeat, observers believe. The unprecedented subma- rine warfare will be struggle com parable to the aerial battle of Bri- tain.
 Most of the raiders will be 750- ton craft capable of inflicting deadly damage on Allied supply routes and many will be equipped with facili- ties for repairing and refueling at sea, 1t was said.
 Hitler is expected to send third of his fleet of 800 to 700 U-boats to accommodating on the Atlantic and the Mediterranean-at one time. The rest will be held in reserve.
 The 1943 U-boats are bigger and better than most of those that al- most won the war for Germany in 1917. In addition, they have better and more advantageously placed bases.
