MORE SHORTAGES

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23.-(R
Add to the list of shortages:
Seaweed and sharks.
To . landlubber it would
seem that with all the sea there
is there ought to be plenty Of
seaweed and to = sailor
one shark probably is one
shark too many. But here's
the picture painted by that old
seascaper, Secretary Ickes,
who is the governments fish
cries man:
Sharks-The demand for
shark meat has grown to such
proportions on the eastern sea-
board that fishermen are un-
able to fill their orders. Quick
frozen shark flesh, say its ad-
diets, resembles haddock in
flavor and swordfish in texture.
Seaweed-Imports of most
seaweed have been reduced or
eliminated by war conditions
and the relatively undeveloped
seaweed industries of the Unit
ed States are being called on
for greatly increased produc-
tion. Seaweed is important for
meteorological research, and is
used also by food industries
and industrial processes.

Enrichment OF
Flour With More
Protein Value
BY ANN STEVICK

WASHINGTON, Aug. %. - Ex
periments are going on in the De
partment of Agriculture to test the
value of enrichment of macaron
products. AS other foods become
scarce, the use and food value o.
the increasing supply of macaron
products becomes more important
Manufacturers are pushing {
compulsory enrichment program
which awaits hearing with tn,
Food and Drug Administration.
the compulsory enrichment of floul
goes into effect, which it is ex
pected to do, macaroni product!
will be proportionately benefited
Semolina, a high-protein granular
product from hard durum wheat
is used with flour to keep maca
roni from being mushy or sticky
when cooked. Manufa cturers see
no reason why this should not be
enriched to build up the prestige
and food-value of macaroni prod.
ucts.
The Department of Agricultural Is
experiments have shown that some
of the added value of enrichment
is lost when macaroni is cooked
in the customary quantities of wa.
ter. 1t can be cooked as well in
a much smaller quantity of wa.

No coffee splurge is warranted.
Although the supply is up now, ii
still, takes shipping space to main

for raw sugar and molasses which
are needed in great quantities for
industrial alcohol.
ODDS AND ENDS
After the war-but not, alas, in
this day of critical laundry prob
lems-many washable fabrics will
be specially treated with a new
chemical which will keep them
from spotting and whiting g.. An
other wistful thought: if rayon,
now used for cartridge and powder
bags, could substitute for the nylon
that is going for military uses,
you might S. more than the ex-
pected one pair of nylon stockings

care of your draperies and bed

them are not deferred from the

should have the fabulously nutri-
tious soya flour and grits in one
and two-pound packages at IL to

turers who substitute the recently
released supply Of cotton 1inters
for other materials will be requir-
ed to revise their prices.
