u. ). 10 Furnish Allies
Nearly Il Billions in
Supplies, Army Says

Military supplies worth approxi-
mately $4,000, 100000 will be fur
nished by the United States to its
Allies during the remainder of this
year and in 1914, 1t. Col. William S
Gaud, assistant to the director of
the international division, Army
Service Forces, told the conference
of 225 labor and industrial leaders
and newspaper editors at the
Pentagon Building today.
Col. Gaud said 10 per cent of this
materiel would go to occupied coun-
tries, including Greece, Belgium and
Norway. The remainder would 60
to our Allies now actually fighting
the Axis.
Shipment of individual items in
1914 need not parallel the shipments
of l943, he declared. Indicative of
adjustments already ordered is the
Russian need for locomotives, which,
as the Germans are pushed farther
back, as communication lines get
longer. becomes much more i'm
portant than tanks.
Col. Lee A. benson, acting director
of the requirements division, Army
Service Forces, told the conference
that the Army plans to have more
than 100000 men overseas by De-
cember, 1914, and 2.700,0o0 men by
this December.
Col. benson also estimated the
supply program for the ground
forces alone this year would amount
to an expenditure of $21 ,000, ,090, 900,
with plans for the, sum of $22, ,000,-
100000 already drawn to support
ground force operations next year.
This afternoon the business and
labor leaders and editors will inspect
the might of the Army at Fort
Belvoir.
At conference sessions yesterday
they heard 1t. Gen. Joseph T. Nc
Narney, deputy chief of staff, say
that the Allied forces now are def.
nitely on the offensive and that we
are fast approaching the time when
our $1,000 miles of communications
to every battle front can be con-
stantly and effectively maintained.
Gen. McNarney, reviewing the
war, said that the first great Ameri-
can headache was the shipping and
submarine problem. which was met
without melodrama, but with effects
that have been far-reaching.
Results of the North African
campaign are now visible, Gen. Nc
Narney said, in the very evident
easing Of a severe shipping situa-
ton; the release Of naval forces
for use in the Pacific; the creation
of forces that are going to bring
about the enemy's collapse in oc-
cupied territory; dispersal Of the
eneiny's forces and the acquisition
of many new air bases.
Brig. Gen. Laurence S. Kuter, as
sistant chief of the air staff of the
Army Air Forces, told the business
and labor leaders that planning of
an almost unbelievably complex
nature preceded the offensive against
Germany.
"We now have an economic an
alyst group in the Army Air Forces
of about SIS of the country's leading
economists and industrialists,
clothed in civilian garb, but en-
gagged in painstaking work Of very
great military value" he said.

methods Of approach and digging
In. The one way to handle the sit
uation Is to find out the names and
the habits of the invaders.
Let's take the tumbleweed. This is
a native and propagates by seeds.
Its range is throughout North
America except the far North. 1t is
most common in the plains of the
West. 1t is just as much at home
in cultivated ground as it is in waste
places.
From June until September, the
tumbleweed is developing flowers.
They are in small axillary clusters,
green, with three membraneous
sepals and as many stamens; the
three subtending bracts are much
longer, and they are awl-shaped,
sharp, rigid. The lateral ones are
quite small. These blossoms do not
attract human attention. They are
calling ports for small insects.
From July until October, the
tumbleweed is maturing her seeds.
Each seed baby is wrinkled and pro-
vided with a papery coat or sac.
The leaves are smooth, pale green
and from one-half to two inches
long. They are spatulate, with
rounded apex, the midvein extended
as a tiny bristle or whisker. The
petioles or footstalks of the leaves
are slender and a lighter shade
than the blades.
The tumbleweed is a low. broadly
spreading plant from 8 to 20 inches
high. 1t has a succulent, very pale
green stem which branches from
the base. There is a pinkish white
root.
When the seed children are ma
tured and the cold weather draws
near, the leaves drop away. the
stem becomes hardened and bends
inward. A good stiff wind will up-
root or break the stem at the sur
face of the ground.
These seed children do not need
parachutes, wings, balloons or life
belts. If you have not observed
mother tumbleweed travelling during
the windy days of autumn and win
ter, you have missed a lot. This
plant seems to have the ability to
roll along as smoothly as a new tire.
The wind lifts her over obstacles.
tosses her against objects, drops her
IN ravlnes and corners, and she skis
over snow drifts with the greatest
OF ease. All the time she is scattering
her wrinkled brown babies. They,

Among the birds which we may
call good" are the owls. They do
almost no damage to people, and
they are helpful in getting rid Of
certain pests. -
Owls have no songs to please our
ears. Their hoots and other cries
are rather unpleasant. Yet these
birds play a good part.
Mice, rats and bats are eaten by
owls. also shrews, grasshoppers and
crickets. A careful check was kept
on a group of barn owls, and in q
few weeks 1t was found that they
had eaten $50 mice, l.579 shrews, 1
mole. 3 rats. 16 bats and 10 English
sparrows.
In other tests, the proportion Of
rats has been much higher. 1t de-
pends, Of course. on the number of
rats to be found in the belfry or
whatever other place the owls are
kept.
Here are a few facts which help
give owls special place in the bird
family:
Owls do most of their hunting at
night. Their eyes are well suited
to see in the darkness. with just .
little moonlight or starlight.
The eyes of owls are set in their
heads so they face forward. Most
birds must turn their heads to get
good look forward.
An owl has eyelashes. This Is .
rare thing in the bird world.
The feathers of an owl are extra
soft. This does much to give them

a silent flight, and keeps their VIC
TINS from being warned by noise
when these birds are swooping down.
Some farmers complain that owls
kill their poultry, but no farmer
should be quick to take out a gun.
The few chicks which may be de-
stroyed by these birds do not COM
pare in Importance with the help
owls give in keeping down field mice
and other pests
The larger owls often kill rab-
bits for food. If such owls were
widespread throughout Australia,
they would do a Great deal to cut
the number of rs.foits on that con-
tinent
Owls differ widely in size. The
screech owl is only about inches
long, but eagle owls compare in
size of body (though not in wing
spreaO with eagles.
Europe, Asia and Africa have eagle
owls. Some of them have a length
of feet or more.

wait until they can push out q tiny
root and begin their career.
Never let a tumbleweed set seed.
Use the hoe on the plant while
1t is yet young. Tillage of cultivated
crops disturbs the roots. In the
country. they uproot the plant and
feed the succulent leaves to the
pigs-hence its second name, white
pigweed."
