With More Meat

CHICAGO, Dec. 80. CUP) - T.
Henry Foster, chairman of the
board of the American meat insti-
tute, said. Thursday that consumers
may expect one pound of meat per
person more in 1914 than they had
in 1913.
In 1943, he said, per capita con-
sumption of meat was 1872 pounds,
and production totalled more than
24,000,000,00O pounds Next years
production will rise to an all-time
high of about 25,6OO 100000 pounds,
but increased demands of the arm
ed services and lend lease will leave
17,l00,000,000 pounds for civilian
consumption, or 1873 pounds per
capita.

The Homernaker's
Corner
BY MARY DOUGLAS

American housewives are con-
tributing just as much in their own
way toward winning the war as the
members of the WAC, WAVES, and
SPARS, and just as our soldiers,
sailors, marines and coast guards
men are changing their habits over
night, so are our homemakers
adapting themselves to changes in
the kitchen.
Food rationing and wartime food
ScarcitieS effect the lives of all of
us. Whether the housewife is an
experienced one or a bride of few
weeks, the problem of how to turn
the colored stamps in our War Ra-
ton Books into hearty, healthy
meals, is complex job requiring all
the ingenuity and resourcefulness
any woman possesses.
Along with this job, more Ameri-
can housewives than ever before
this year have learned to can their
own foods, and pantry shelves are
better filled than they were, even
in grandmother's day. Some figures
released last week by James r.
Ward, of Baltimore, director of the
Department of Education's Food
Production Program, give some idea
of what our women have been doing
along this line.
In the rs canning centers located
in IA counties of our state, 10000
cans of food have been processed.
Washington County ranked third
with seven centerS canning 22,895
cans of food. These figures are for
July and August only. Many cen
ters have remained open through
October and of course this will
swell the final count. Add to this
number the cans processed in the
individual homes and the total will
be something to be really proud of
And of course Maryland is only one
of 48 states that have been carrying
on this very important job on the
home front When the final check
up is made public by the Govern
ment, the figures / feel sure, will
be far beyond our expectations

Senator Tydnigs'
Radio Address

AOOhthuCu AAOA n akC AO
delegates do not approach the CON
ference table with the prestige to
which they are entitled.
Further than that, the lack of
coordination which has heretofore
existed among our governmental
agencies in our dealings with for
eign countries has, in my opinion,
been conducive to much waste II
is essential, while affording those
who are our Allies in this war with
every assistance we can reasonably
provide them, that this waste be
stopped at once, wherever, by a
sounder administration, our expen
ditures can be reduced.
ut would be well for us to keep
in mind some of the things that will
confront us here at home when this
war is over.
1--WE shall have a great national
debt, the equivalent of from eight to
ten thousand dollars for every Amer
lean family. In the immediate post
war period we shall have from
twelve to twenty millions of unem-
ployed. We shall have a period of
business uncertainty until contracts
between private concerns and our
own Government, cancelled at the
close of the war, are adjusted and
settled We shall probably have in
the hands of our Government sixty
billion dollars worth of shoes, cloth
ing, food, and other equipment for
which we shall have no further
need and which our Government
will want to sell at the very time
that private industry is turning TO
the manufacture of these same
things. We shall also have a period
of very long and heavy taxation,
like that which we are now bearing,
and in the postwar period we shall
probably not have as large a national
income as we are now enjoying dur
ing these days of about production.
Therefore, it behooves us to put eV-
cry bit of efficiency and economy we
can into the conduct of our affairs,
for the more of that we can obtain
now the lighter our burden will be
hereafter.
can examination of the budgets
of our Allies show that they are at
tempting to do this very thing while
the war is on, to keep their national
debt from becoming any larger than
circumstances absolutely demand.
This course by our Allies could be
proftably followed by us. If it is
followed we certainly will face the
postwar period with greater OPP
portunity for our returning service
men and for the everyday man and
his family than will be the case if
during these hours of struggle we
take no account of the future at all.
"The report of Senator Russell
and his colleagues, therefore, should
be carefully read, in my judgment
by every American. 1t is thought
provoking report. 1t shows the vast
extent of our assistance and expen-
