Probe Unions
Reported Use
Of C. Cards

DETROIT. March 25 --(P)-
The Office Of Price Administra-
ton here was reported today TO
be investigating charges of Rep.
Clare Hoffman, Michigan Fourth
District Republican, that union
organizers were trailing Port
Huron milk drivers in cars with
&C. gasoline stiCkers.
An OPA spokesman said an
inquiry was being made to de-
termine whether gasoline was
being used in violation Of the
mileage regulations.
In a speech to the House of
Representatives, Hoffman said
that five or six carloads OF
men" had trailed the milk trucks
in an effort to "coerce' the driv-
ers into union. He demanded
that the OPA determine wheth-
er such union activity constitut-
ed IAN essential industry or
driving for pleasure"

SCARCITY IN FOODS

The record food production for
1912 is listed by our President as
one of the major Allied victories of
the year. The importance of food
is pronounced now, its need felt in
the army and navy, in our lend
lease countries, occupied countries
and for our civilians at home. Amer
leans have been able to enjoy food
since most varieties were available
at usually a reasonable cost. We
ate fancy dishes and reliShed choice
tid-bits but now we foresee eating
palmer and simpler foods with a
reduction in quantity. We do not
fear any actual hunger for there
will be storage of vital foods in case
of shortages due to weather condi-
lions preventing production. Other
countries are expressing their graft
tude to the American farmer for
they depend upon us to keep them
fit to fight. Fortunately there are
not many who selfishly feel that
we should have what we WANT to
eat in this country and take care
of the others outside with what is
left. Few are the people in Kenne-
wick who are not willing to cut
down, to reduce their normal buying
in order to save others from priva-
ton. There was time when women
felt the need to go forth and lay in
food for a week in advance. We

of the unselfish devotion of the

Today more than ever before, the
aim is to create good health by
the elimination of the causes of dis
ease. With the world aflame and

thankful that American medicine

know there is waste in buying a
half pound Of butter or sugar SO a
wise shopper managed better. To-
day she must buy in small quantities
in order not to deprive others Of
daily food. Housewives have found
the need Of ingenuity in cooking
since they can't resort to the can
opener as often. There were many
foods spurned because opening a
can was quicker. Fifty years ago
the average American had only one
can Of food in a year. Twenty-Five
years ago he stepped it up to IT'S
cans. In 1871 he jumped to 100 cans
and where would he have gone this
year if the war hadn't Silenced the
can opener to a great degree2 Local
housewives will meet this emergency

At different times in the history
of the world individuals have
emerged from the crowd, have been
the rallying centers Of their fellows,
and have supplied the leadership of
their age. History recalls many
such. The outstanding figures Of
today are President Roosevelt, Win
ston Churchill, Joseph Stain, and
Chang Kai-Shek. President Roose-
welt, before anyone else in this
country sensed the danger and con-
ceived and made articulate a pro-
gram of defense that all but stag
gered the imagination of everyone
a program, which by the way, is
being fulfilled. Churchill has been
the Rock of Gibraltar Of England,
a tower of strength. He has Gre
ated a vision of possible victory for
England that has given the English
a unity and a solidarity and a stub
born faith. Stain, the Man OF Steel,
how aptly his name has come to tit
him, has surprised the world and
dumfounded the worlds military
experts and economists who said
Russia could not wage a major war.
The Russian army, in turning back
the Nazi horde, has done a thing
that history will never cease to i'm
nortalize. Behind them and over
them, stands Stain the man of
steel. Chang Kai-Shek, ruler of
400 million people, has been able
to hold together a nation pitted
against vastly superior odds. Be-
cause of his force and leadership.
a nation has fought on and on
against hopeless odds until the day
of deliverance seems near. It is these
leaders who are pitted against the
destroyers of civilization today. How
providential it is that they should
be banded together at such time
and for such cause.

When industries building battle

STUDY IN RELATIVELY

A global war has given all OF
us a different understanding OF
relative values of almost everything
under the sun.
A year abo we talked glibly about
essential and nonessential industries
Guns, ammunition, airplanes and
ships were essential The loWly
milk cow, or the hen cackling when
she laid an egg, were just part of
the country scenery.
But a year later, we have awak-
ened with a start to the fact that
mix, butter, eggs, and a thous-
and-and-one other products that
seemed relatively unimportant COM
pared to battle equipment, are today
the indispensable things that keep
our armies and our fleets in fight
ing trim-not only OUR own but our
Allies.
Millions of people found when pre-
pairing Christmas packages that
candy-one Of the articles that we
have taken for granted like air and
WATERWAYS hard to get or unob-
tainable in many cases. And why?
Because it was being sent literally
by the shipload to all parts of the
world, for our armed forces. The
army nutrition experts find the
American soldier is better fighting
man when candy is part of his diet.
1t is one of the things that soldiers
buy most in railroad stations and
camps. It goes into the mountains,
jungles and deserts in many forms
as an army field ration. 49,,
Here is story of RELATIVELY When
the war started, who ever thought
of a package of candy in relation
to a rifle, a cannon. a jungle uni
form or a rubber life boat?. In IL
our sense of values has in
deed changed. From now on, the
wise man will be cautious in CLASSIFY
ing essential and nonessential en-
terprises. -

QUININE POOL FORMED

To cut the malaria toll of men
on the fighting front, an appeal
to contribute all surplus quiriine OF
opened packages to national pool
was made recently by WPB to
more than $1,000 pharmacists
throughout the United States.
every opened package - every
available ounce of quinine in your
store is wanted for service over
SEAS" the appeal states.
These stocks of quinine and other
chichona alkaloids held by pharma-
cists will be used by the United
States Army and Navy for their
operations overseas.
The national quinine pool is being
established through the cooperation
of the American Pharmaceutical As
sociation and the Drugs and Cos
metics Section of the Chemicals
Division, WPB.
In announcing the drive, officials
said there is a substantial amount
of these important drugs on the
shelves of retail druggists, in hos
pitfalls, and in the possession of ply
cisians. Because of limitation Or
ders on the use of quinine, these
stocks are restricted to the treat
ment of malaria, which is not preva-
lent in many areas of the country.
Supplies of cinchona bark, the
source of quinine anti-malarial, are
short because East Indian sources
have been cut off by enemy action.
With the army and navy battling
the Axis in Africa, in the Solo
mons, and in other. tropical areas,
the threat of malaria Is serious,
officials pointed out, and therefore
the quinine needed to protect the
expeditionary forces can and must
be obtained.
The first step in establishing this
pool Is mailing out circulars. To
each circular is. attached a card.
The druggist who has quinine on
hand d0saches this card, signs his
name and gives information re-
quired, puts the card in the box with
his quinine, and sends it to the as
sociatidn's headquarters at 2215

This association acknowledges. re-
ceipt of the quinine from the drug
gist, and, when it has enough sim
liar contributions on hand, sends a !
shipment to manufacturers, who re-
process it. The quinine is then sent
to the defense supplies corporation,
which it turns over to the armed
forces. - -.. .~~s - - Z. =, =. =

KEEP THE EAGLE FLYING

KEEP THE EAGLE FLYING
An old fable tells how a mouse
released lion by gnawing the net
that trapped him.
Millions of small taxpayers in
this country, by their tax payments,
must gnaw away the debt net that
now enmeshes their government.
The immediate passage by Con-
gresS of pay-as-you-go tax meas
ure to cover 1913 incomes, will en-
able all the people to start right
now nibbling at the debt.
Wars cost money and the people
must pay for them. The sooner
they begin to pay, the better. The
smaller the installments can be
made, the easier taxes are to pay.
So let's face the facts and keep
the Eagle flying high.
