WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-(R)
Amid signs that the nations
meat supply situation is less IA
vorable than had been forecast,
the government speeded action
today to halt illegal slaughter of
cattle and hogs and to stop black
market operations.
Secretary of Agriculture Vic
ward, the food administrator, is
expected to announce within a
day or two a plan to license
livestock slaughterers and to
require farmers to sell only to
such slaughterers or their agents.
Denouncing black markets as
nothing short of treason" Price
Administrator Prentiss Brown
called in a public broadcast last
night for public support in the
campaign to stamp them out.
1.-THE Nazis and Fascists may
not be able to sabotage our war
plants or bomb our industrial
centers," Brown said, "but their
able assistants-the operators of
the black markets-contribute
most effectively by helping to
wreck American health, morale
and economy"
Declaring black markets will
have a disastrous effect on
health, Brown said poisoned
meats already are making their
appearance.
Control Of this phase is prac-
tically impossible" he said, land
large sections of our population
may become infected"
A licensing system, food off
Gals said, would give the gov
eminent q more effective meth
cd of enforcing present alloca-
ton orders designed TO limit
slaughter and sale Of meat to
civilians and thereby provide
ample supplies for military and
lend-lease requirements.
Large numbers of cattle and
hogs are being diverted now to
small. non-inspected country
slaughterers who do not observe
the ALLEGATION orders and price
ceilings.
Under q licensing system, a
slaughterer would loose his
right to do business and would
be subject to prosecution il he
killed and sold more than his al
lotment or charged prices in
excess of ceilings.
Aside from its other effects,
black market slaughtering has
been viewed with growing alarm
among food authorities because
of signs that the future meat
supply may be smaller than Vic
kard had forecast.
An agriculture department re-
port issued late last week show
ed that although there were
more hogs on farms than a year
earlier. the increase was not as
large as was the increase in the
size of the 1912 pig crop.
The report indicated either
that an abnormally large num-
Der of hogs had been sold and
slaughtered locally in black mar
ket operations, or that the 1912
pig crop was not as large as had
been estimated.
The governments sudden and
unexpected decision to ration
dry beans and peas-protein sub
stitutes for meat-was interpre-

By ADELAIDE KERR

Annie Rogers Sandbach has put
hundreds of housewives to work
for Uncle Sam IN sleepy Bible

Her war record shows what a
woman can do, even when she is
far from the big time"
Mrs. Sandbach, 46-year-old wife
Of a railway conductor and mother
Of four, lives in Slater, Mo-,
town of 5000, less than 100 miles
from Kansas City. One Sunday
she entertained her secretary
oaughter's boss and fiance, Ran
dolph Walker, president of Aircraft
Accessories Corporation of Kansas
City and Los Angeles. Walker (who
is now Mrs. Sandbach's son-in-
law) was then seeking a location
ter a factory to manufa cture radio
parts. After that Sunday dinner,
he decided to place the factory in
Slater.
She Got the Job
Mrs. Sandbach has not had an

the Aircraft Accessories engineers

buildings for factory use and, when
they laughingly offered her job

Beauties Hints
Deodorants Keep
Clothes Fresh
In Wintertime
BY ALICIA HART

Feminine fastidiousness? To pre-
serve it is more important than
ever this wartime winter. Clothes
go out less often to be cleaned
Uncle Sam urges you to get more
year out of clothes between their
soings and comi1gs.
For protection of yourself and
clothes, you need dependable de-
odorant or anti-perspirant. It's al
ways wise to De a pessimist on
he score of what heated rooms,
heavier clothing, physical activity,
and inevitable fatigue resulting
from more strenuous jobs, do to
good grooming.
n deodorants there are creams,
powders and sticks. any one of
which can be used to prevent
odor; to keep you and your fab
1ics safe. But if you need to pro-
tect yourself and clothes from
moisture. team your deodorant
With under-arm shields. To keep
arm-pits dry, you need an anti
perspirant. How often YOU apply
either type of eood-grooming aid
depends upon your individual
reeds. The warmer the room, the
heavier your clothing, the more
OF busy-body you are, the more
you'll nullify the anti-perspirant
you're wearing, and the oftener
you'll need to renew it.

NEW YORK, The most up-and-
