glands, inedible fata, hoofs, horns.
bones. hides and wool "are geing to
war In many forms and packages"
He said illegal market slaughter
ers are interested exclusively in the
meat, usually wasting those parts OF
animals used to manufacture other
products.
The chemist said that In the field
OF pharmaceuticals, research has
made what he described as sound
ing developments. with many of the
ingredients produced meat ami
mails saving lives on the battle
fronts.
He listed among these lecithin
and cephalin. which come from ami.
NAL brain tissue and are used In
treating poisonous reptile bites and
promoting blood clothing; lntestines
used in making sutures, and adren-
aim, derived from supra renal
glands, which makes bloodless surg.
cry possible.
A special soap necessary for syn-
thetic rubber manufacture has come
out OF the mat industry laboratories
and the chemist estimated 100 ,o0o,-
coo pounds eventually will be util-
lied annually.
Other by-product uses listed by
DR.. Young included:
Animal bones are an important
source OF gelatin used in photog-
raphy, bone ash needed in copper
smelling and special bone powders
which are effective in removing
f1uorine from drinking water.
Hoof and horn meal as well as
summer hog hair have found wide
usage in Great Britain for making
foam type fre extinguishing fluids
Hog hair also goes to make aviator s
cushions.
Gelatin Is used in the manufac-
ture Of Photographic Aims for re-
connaissance purposes and for the
manufacture OF smokeless gunpow-
der. among many other uses. Soap
and glycerin, derived from inedible
fats. have wide uses as lubricants,

According to legend, a beautiful
woman. twice. widowed was married
to DR.. Louis Lalaurie in 1925. The
mansion, a three story gem in the
French empire style, was built for
her at cost in excess of 100000.
One night a. minor fire broke out
on the lower Aoor and neighbors
rushed to aid in fighting the flames
They found seven slaves 'in varying
degrees of torment and starvation
A mob gathered and the Lalauries
fed to Mobile and thence to Paris
Then the ghosts came, bringing
their sheets. ath's-heads, rattling
bones and other standard equip
ment.
No Room for Ghosts.
Says a writer OF the period
"Hoarse voices like unto those sup
posed to come only from the charnel
house floated out onto the fog laden
air on dismal and rainy nights, with
the ominous sounds of clanking
chains coming from the servants
quarters"
The ghostly tenancy has been
interrupted several times but for
only brief periods and even then the
eerie folk gathered their sheets and
retired to more remote sections of
the house until the interlopers were
gone.
Now there Is no room in this
crowded shipbuilding and plane

Lalaurie "ha'nts' have been booted
out by new owner, living units
have been completed and are oc-

He would not define what he
meant by use of the term limited
but said he and the other members
OF the Labor-War Board would meet
at an early date with the President
and 1t was hoped there would be
some action by this time.
Explaining that they had given no
"deadline" to the President for
action, Mr.. Murray added that he
was not serving an "ulttmatum" on
MIR. Roosevelt.
Mr.. Green, who acted as principal
spokesman for the conferees, said
the situation that labor now faced
was that wages are frozen while
prices are soaring"
No Figure in Mind.
Our acceptance Of the stabiliza-
ton program. he said, was based
on the feeling that there would be
stabilization OF both prices and
wages, so there could be a basic
relationship between the two"
Mr.. Green was asked i he had
any figure in mind In connection
with the possibility of a revision Of
the Little Steel" formula. But he
said none had been suggested.
In the formal statement, which
the board presented to Mr.. Roose-
welt. they told him he had stated
with dramatic clarity" in the mes
sage in which he vetoed the Com
modify Credit Corp. bill. because of
the ban on food subsidies, that fail
ure to hold the line on both prices

consequences to the American
people.
I'VE share these expectations" the
statement said. 1--WE know that
whatever may be the supposed bene-
fits of imitation to those who are
seeking to destroy the stabilization
program the people of the United
States will be victims. If failure to
carry out the stabilization of prices
in line with wage sterilization
brings the consequences which you
have stated must inevitably follow,
organized labor cannot be held to
account for that result which it did
not seek and which 1t has exerted
all Of its efforts to avoid"
The statement recalls that after
the President had vetoed the first
Commodity Credit Corp. bill,s Con-
gress had relented and imposed no
legislative restrictions on carrying
out the proposed rohback Of food

to increase this year"
The ranchers have encouraged the
dudes to visit them late in the sum-

that their labor can be spread
through the cattle country's busy
season.
