At least three, possibly four, Ger
man airplanes were shot down by a
Navy gun crew aboard an American
merchantmen crossing the North
Atlantic, the Navy reported yester-
day.
More than 100 aerial raids and
numerous submarine attacks were
beaten off by the gun crew during
the voyage made through severe
Arctic storms.
The story of the crew was told by
the Navy in announcing award of
letters of concentrations to all its
members.
You sailed the northern run

markably trying and dangerous, :"
Rear Admiral Randall Jacobs wrote
in a letter addressed to Ensign
James w. Abbott, %, of Seattle,

LOS ANGELES, July 26.-Emil
Ludwig. author and lecturer who
wrote biography of Mussolini after
series of interviews with him in
1882, commented last night on the
Duce's exodus:
This is the key to his tragedy
that he aspired to military conquest
with the help of an unmilitant peo-
pie His armaments and threaten
ing speeches in the end drove him
into this alliance, without which he
would never have been able to chal-
ienge Britain and America.
He knew England's power but
had ludicrous ideas about America.
He hated the Germans, and said to
me once that Europes history would
have been better one if the Teu-
tons had been beaten by the Romans
ana not vice versa.
He spoke to me with envy of the
military spirit of Germany, a spirit
to which he could never rouse his
people. That is why he fell for the
giant war machine of Prussia. like
some delicate women fall for a prize

Lace Looms Now Turning Out
Cumoufluqe Nets for Army

With women joining the armed
forces in increasing thousands, the
machines that once made trimmings
for their frocks are now getting into
the battle, too, being converted to
production of Army camouflage nets,
the War Department announced
yesterday.
Lace looms, heretofore useless in
war production, now are turning out
improved qualities of close -meshed
nets for camouflage OF tanks, half
tracks, gun carriages and trucks.
Wide mesh .camouflage nets for
merly used had to be garnished with
strips Of cotton or burlap to cast
enough shadow to break up the
regular lines Of the military equip
inent they concealed The new
small mesh nets need no garnishing,
it was said, and are generally more
efficient.
One of the chief points of camou-
f1age Is that shadow is often more
difficult to hide than the concealed
object itself. The nets help break
the revealing shadow pattern since
light is partly absorbed and partly
reflected.

'the decree of the District Court

How Long War Lasts

War Production Board officials
are convinced the United Nations
will have enough critical and stra-
tegic materials to meet military
needs regardless of the length of
the war
They base this stand on the CO.
operation of American metallurgists
and mineral experts. who have
stepped up supplies considerably be-
yond expectations. WPB officials,
over the week end, said results show
United States technologists are
more versatile, more comprehensive
than the Germans and far in ad-
vance in some important phases
Much of the credit for the team
work is given to WPB's Office of
Production Research and Develop
ment, set up in November, 1912, to
coordinate the labors of technical
organizations in the development
of mineral resources and the con-
servation of metals and minerals.
Channeled through the OPRD
are the efforts of scientists, in uni
verslty and industrial laboratories
and in the field, to increase do
mestic supplies by tapping new de-
posits: by substituting. In some
processes, more abundant metals
for those that are scarce; by de-
veloping low-grade ores and by
lowering specifications.
One of their achievements is the
breaking of potential bottleneck in
quartz crystals. Millions of dollars
worth Of equipment and trained per-
sonnel were sent to Brazil. chief
source of supply. and new domestic
deposits were sought out in Arkan-
saS.
To provide fuller utilization of
the crystals, the scientists found new
cutting methods to increase recovery
and conducted studies that resulted
IN the use of lower grade crystals
that previously had been rejected.
In other fields, says the agency.
they've stepped up aluminium pro-
duction by intensive development of
low grade, high SILICA bauxite ore:
they've made possible recovery of

Miss Ttroop, who has been re- sponsible for sending 12,000 poten- tial southern fries to market last year, says she is in the broiler busi- ness. What that means, however, is that she runs, manages and uVer- sees her 160-acre farm during the day in addition to swing shifting at night. Tn the midst of @ meat shortage, Miss Throop,s contribu- tion to the war effort is incalcul- able.

 She needed only three things to get tarted-chickens, a place to raise 'em and $3,000 for equipment.
 The second item came first when she talked her father out of the fanlily's summer home at Dittmer. The money she had herself, and the chicks-l ,000 of them-arrived as a matter of course.

NAvY'S COOKS LEARN PREPARE
 BALANCED DIET
By AL WIEsE

n
 San Diego. Cal. Feb. 9 = (UP)
 Those fluffy, golden biscuits that mother used to turn out over a hot, coal-burning cookstove, were not so far ahead of the ones the Navy is teaching their boys to make, even on rolling destroyer.
 The Navy has found that no longer will 'beansn satisfy the in- ternal yearnings of the bluejackets, either at sea or stationed at some distant shore post. Today they need, and are getting, the finest of food obtainable, prepared the way they like 1t.
 At the Naval Training Station here sailors are turned into cooks and bakers. '.., .,. 16 Weeks Course
 The course, which requires 16 weeks to complete, includes both classroom work and practical ap- plication. Primarily, the future cooks are taught howM to prepare basic, wholesome food, such as bread, meat, potatoes and vegeta. bles. However, they also learn how to make fancy pastries and cakes. Each subject Is complete in 1t. self. Tn the study of meats, the as. piring cook must learn all the class es of meat cuts, the composition of meats, the varied methods of cook ing them and the average weight loss involved in each method. In addition, he must know the correct oven temperature for steaks, roaSts and chops. .r.t.
 Tn the classrooms the cooks and bakers are trained to provide their bluejacket customers with a ball. anced diet, no matter what part of the world they happen to be in or what foods are available. They also learn the vitaInin and calory con- tents of various foods.
 A course in mathematics is also added. because the cooks will be required to figure rations. Whether serving 100 or 1000 men, waste must be avoided. Still every man must be given an adequate supply of food. This knowledge is particu- larly important aboard ships, where the health of the entire crew de- bends considerably upon the cooks and bakers ability to ration sup- plies correctly.
 Not only is the school used for the training of recruits. Frequently, old timers, who have been cooks in the Navy for many years, return to school for postgraduate work to learn new and more modern meth- eds and to qualify for promotions.
 The cooks and bakers, in addition to their duties in the gallery, are also thoroughly trained for military work. Each has his battle station aboard ship or at shore establish ments, and he must drop his spoons and pans when the battle signal sounds and take his place with the rest.
