Most Of the half pound Of glistening

Tientsin, Hankow, and Chungking
where they are sorted for quality,
color and length. About one-fourth
Of them may be two inches or short

Chief Farm Problem Not
Price One, Notes Wickard

I'VE may as well recognize that
the problem Of farm production win
bulk larger and larger as time goes
on" says Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard. The reasons for this are
not altogether reasons Of price and
returns to farmers. The lack of an
adequate supply Of farm labor and
lack Of farm machinery, fertilizer,
insecticides and other materials for
production will be the biggest handi-
caps to maintaining production at
present levels. We must develop a
comprehensive program to over
come the existing and increasing
shortage Of farm labor. AS matters
now stand, agriculture seems to
have the last claim on our supply of
manpower. And we have not de.
voted sufficient attention to the prob
lens Of getting farm machinery and
other materials necessary for pro-
duction.
Frankly, these problems are CIV
ing me more concern than the prob
lens Of keeping up returns to farm
ers. think we can assure reason
ably adequate prices and income to
farmers. I am genuinely alarmed
about farm labor, farm machinery
and other supplies essential to pro-
duction. These obstacles cannot be
overcome by prices alone and are
more serious than the people realize.

Most People Hardly EFT
2la Pounds Meat a Weel

Meat eaters who are worrying
about the rationing quota of Ga
pounds of meat a person each week
are reminded that they haven't
been eating much more than this
amount anyhow.
Pointing out that pa pounds of
meat a week is 100 pounds a year,
Sleeter Bull, professor of meats, Uni
versity of Illinois college of agricul-
ture, said that the meat consump-
ton for the 10-year period, 1881 to
1910, was only 1911 pounds, mere
ly a mouthful more than is now
being proposed to give every con-
sumner a chance to share equally in
the meat supply. From 1885 to 1888,
consumption was less than "a pounds
for each person.
Meat consumption has decreased
in the past 40 years, Bull explained,
mainly because as the country has
grown older and become more
densely populated, agriculture has
become more intensive and both
meat production and consumption
have gone down.
With the livestock and meat in
dustry functioning to its full capacity
to feed the armed forces plus civil
ians, meat production is greater
than ever with some "a billion
pounds expected to be on the market
in 1928. There is little chance
that this quantity can be greatly in
creased, Bull said.
Renting a locker for meat stor-
age is commendable if the homemak-
er and her family are doing it for
the sake Of economy and better quail
fty meat, Bull said. But in his opin-
ion, the homemaker who rents
locker in order to store away more
than her rightful share Of the ma
tons meat supply is as unpatriotic
as the sugar hoarder. II and when
meat rationing goes into effect, lock-
er supplies should be checked, he
suggested.

Air-Conditioned Baby

When a baby is both healthy and
comfortable, it is usually a good"
baby even when summer days are
hot. Fortunately for modern moth
ers and modern babies, the one
garment costume for the infant Is
no longer reserved for the day when
baby has his picture taken. When
maximum comfort comes with the
minimum Of clothes, all that q baby
needs to be well-dressed is a diaper.
Another aid in keeping him cool Is
to supplement the morning bath
with light spongings several times
during the day. This can be done
by holding the baby on the lap, or
placing him on a towel-covered
table, or in his crib or carriage.
Wrap the baby's own clean wash
cloth around the right hand. Dip
into cool sudsy water, and squeeze
out until the cloth does not drip.
Then wipe lightly over the baby's
body Rinse off, and pat the baby
dry. Do not rub, as this stimulates
circulation and makes the infant I'M
comfortable.

War Brings With 1t More
Preventive Medicine Use

Recognition Of the fact that local
doctors and nurses are being called
away for military service has
brought health matters, particularly
preventive measures, to the fore on
the home front, authorities say.
Most popular among the studies
which more than 81, 900 rural home
makers will take up in their fall pro-
grams will be the prevention Of the
common cold with its attendant
companions, flu and pneumonia.
A trend toward preventive meas
ures is foreseen. Causes and pre-
vention of communicable diseases
and symptoms and care of commu-
nicable diseases are other popular
studies which homemakers have
written into their fall programs so
they may put a practical interpreta-
ton on the old adage, IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of
cure"
Miss Brooks meets with the key
leaders Of each Of the home bureau
units in a county, and these women
In turn relay the information they
have received to the members of
their units. Through this means
they gain access to reliable informa-
ton on cancer, tuberculosis, health
before and after 40, and other physi-
cal and mental hygiene problems.
First aid continues to be the
theme for many so-called minor les
sons. Minor lessons are subordi-
mated to the main study which the
homemakers take up when they
meet. First-aid cabinets and first
aid kits for home, school and auto
are exhibited. The supplies and
price lists are discussed.

Seven Ages of a Moron

Parents think his births incredible,
His fame will rival Hannibars,
But, o, If they were cannibals,
The brat would prove quite edible.
But living with humanity,
They let him grow and go to school
To sit in corners on a stool,
Impairing teachers sanity.
Manhood and love overtake the punk,
He woos femme who's none too smart,
And she gives him her hand and heart,
Then two are one, and both are sunk.
His draft board finds his /. Q. zero,
The army sends him overseas,
Against the Huns and Japanese,
Our dullest dullard proves hero.
The fifth age tempts US to wrong guess,
And we may give a judgeship to a boor;
If we must make him sinecure,
Let's send him off to congress.
Scene Six-the moron's life now shapes
The sheer anachrony of age and youth,
We see bald pate and final tooth,
Parading in suit of Grapes.
His curtain scene may seem his worst,
Beneath the candies Pickering fame,
His second childhood gets the blame,
When really he had never lost his first!

Step to Rear, Please -
Isn't Helping Much Now

Nationwide gasoline rationing,
coupled with rubber rationing which
already has brought a so per cent
increase in bus and streetcar traffic
during the last year, brings to cit
les today their greatest transporta-
ton problems.
Most important Of these involve
providing additional facilities for
riders and speeding up of traffic
movement.
Passenger traffic in the cities in
creased from Is PEP cent in Cleve-
land to 275 per cent In Amarillo,
with greatest increases occurring in
smaller boom towns" The conduc-
tors "step toSths rear, please" fails
to help in many cities, and new
buses and streetcars, and even new
lines, have been added. Detroit,
which owns its own street railway
system, put on $50 new vehicles and
San Diego added 161.
Old equipment-both buses and
streetcars-was brought back into
use in several cities; Detroit, for
example, renovated $50 streetcars.
Despite rising costs Of operating
public transit systems, caused by
increased wages and additional
equipment, these utilities have en-
tered q period of prosperity through
greater paying loads, reduction in
stops and faster operation. Wage
increases Of from three to 80 cents
an hour were reported by some of
the % cities, but no fare increases
were reported as effected or in pros
pect.
Transportation administrators or
committees have been appointed in
II Of the % cities to handle transit
problems, and all % have made spe-
cial efforts to promote more effec-
tive use of private automobiles, par
hcularly through group riding.
School hours and municipal office
hours have been staggered in sew
eral localities and business hours
In a few, though the chief factor in
spreading riding peaks, according to
the survey, has been full 24-hour
operation Of war production plants.

Plenty Clothing For All
If Minimum Needs Bought

Women who are buying clothing
tor themselves or for members Of
their families this fan are advised
10 consider both themselves and the
needs Of other buyers. There is
clothing enough for all civilians II
each woman buys only for real
needs.
Last years fan and winter clothing
should be taken out Of storage and ex-
amined before any buying is done.
Dresses, suits, and coats bought
last year still will be in style be-
cause lines have not been changed
much. II the clothing was cleaned
and stored properly some of it will
be ready to wear Immediately.
Some garments will need miner
repairs, others will have seen so
much service that major alterations
are desirable.
Wool has increased in price so It
is difficult TO find pure wooden gar
ments In low price ranges. This Is
another reason why old clothing con-
tanning good materials should be
used whenever possible. Some of
the blended fabrics now on the mar
ket are INFESTED for long wear so
all buyers should read labels care
fully and ask questions when labels
are missing.
The blended fabrics have disad-
vantage In being more difficult TO
clean. Materials which will remove
spots safely from wool may damage
other abers mixed with the wool.
Mothers with children Of pre-
school age should remember the pos
sibility Of fuel shortages this win
ter and that the coolest air In a
room is near the floor where small
children spend most Of their waking
hours.
