Bill Extending
Quezon's Term Is

Philippine President
To Remain in Office
Till Country Free

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1O.
(UP)--The house today pass
ed and sent to the White
House a resolution extending
for the duration of the war
the term of Manuel L. Quezon as
president of the Philippines. The
vote was 181 to 107
WASHINGTON, Nov. TO- (UP)-
The house is expected today to ex-
tend for the duration the term of
Philippine President Manuel Que
zon, but not until after debate
which is certain to include full dis
cussion of Spain's denial that she
has recognized the Japanese puppet
regime in the Philippines.
The senate adopted the Quezon
resolution unanimously yesterday a
few hours before the state depart
ment revealed that Generalissimo
Francisco Frances Spanish govern
ment had assured the United States
its recent congratulatory message to
japanese puppet president j. p
Laurel was simply IAN act of court
esy toward the Philippine people"
NO INDICATION
There was no indication what
the official reaction of the United
States government would be to the
Spanish explanation of an incident
that had been interpreted in diplo-
matte quarters as unfriendly.
QCezon's term expires on Nov.
Is. If not extended, the Philippine
constitution provides that Vice
President Sergio Osmena will be-
come the chief executive. Chief op-
position comes from those who con-
tend that the United States has no
right to set aside a provision of
the Philippine constitution. Rep.
Walter Judd, r., Mimi, charged
that the move to keep Quezon in
power beyond his constitution term
was "a little like Hitler"

Abundant Moisture Retards
termination of Cotton

The termination of cotton seed
may be affected by weather damage
in the field, by heating Of the seed
cotton after it is put in the house,
and by heating of the seed after the
cotton is ginned.
Cotton in the field should be fluffy
and fully matured to give seed with
high termination. It should be
picked when there is no dew on it
and not too soon after rainy period
of weather.
Cotton should not be picked and
carried directly to the gin under
average conditions. The specialist
suggests that it be put into the cot
ton house and turned for several days
so as to be sure that it is thoroughly
dry and does not have the opportu,
nifty of going through heat.
When the cotton has been ginned,
the seed should be Immediately TAX.

thin layers so that it may dry out.
Too much moisture in the seed will
cause it to heat and reduce the
terminating qualities.

Shoemakers Prosper

Shoemakers in the other Ameri-
cas-like those in the United States
have achieved new production rec
ords under wartime stimulus to
home manufacturing and markets.
The other Americas are using more
of their raw materials in domestic
plants. Loss of imported shoes and
preoccupation of British and North
American manufacturers with war
orders have contributed to expan-
sion Of shoe production in Latin
America. Some export trade has
been developed, particularly by Ar
gentina and Mexico, but the bulk of
the expansion in output is for do
nestle consumption. In 1912, shoe
production in Latin America rose
to a record total of about 73,300,000
pairs, according to figures of the
United States department of COM
merce. This compares with 81, $780,
600 pairs in l94l and 58,500,000 in
1910.

Professor Says Use of
Oven for Canning Costly

Use of the oven method for can
ming is one of the prime causes Of
spoiled home canned foods, accord
ing to DR.. William v. Cruess, pro-
fessor of fruit technology and chem
list. He pointed out hazards which
may arise from heating jars of food
in an oven instead of the. usually
recommended pressure cooker or
pot.
First, as air is a very poor con-
ductor of heat" he indicated, "the
jars and contents heat extremely
slowly and very unevenly. Fruits
canned by this method may not be
heated enough to prevent browning
in the jars by engine action.
Secondly, the contents do not rise
above the boiling point, 212 degrees
F., regardless of what the oven Their
mometer may say, because when
the boiling point is reached the nat
ural laws of physics prevent the tenn
perature from rising. Non-acid foods
should reach 239 to $50 degrees F.
to remove the danger of botulism,
fatal food poisoning"
Another hazard, DR.. Cruess point
ed out, is that jars, if sealed, may
burst, with possible injury to the
housewife.

Dipping Helps

Many of the sheep affected with
common scab or mango will lose
weight and die unless the disease
is controlled by dipping the animals.
Scab mites which cause the dis
ease are hard to see without a mag
nifying glass, as they are only one
fortieth of an inch long. Sheep are
restless and rub, bite, or scratch
themselves when the mites are pres
ent. Scabs form and ruin the wool,
and eventually the animals die.
Sheep of all ages are affected
and the best means of control
is to dip the sheep twice, 10 to IA
days apart, in lime and sulphur or
in nicotine sulfate, before the wealth
er gets too cold. AS the disease is
conta gious, healthy sheep should not
be placed in trucks, barns or cor
rails that have held infected sheep
within 80 days. The dip must be Of
the right strength and temperature
to control scab and the sheep must
be held in the dip at least two min
utes.

War Spurs SO. American
Drug Industry Expansion

The war has led the other Ameri-
cas- to expand their drug and medi-
cine manufacturing industries.
With imports from Europe and the
United States reduced by the ship
ping shortage, many of these coun-
tries are processing their own raw
materials, to supply the needs of
their own citizens.
Brazil has established its own
shark liver oil industry, to produce
health-giving vitamins formerly OBJ
tanned principally from cod liver oil
from Norway. Bolivia and Peru
have factories for making quinine
to fight malaria, out of the cinchona
bark native to their Andean slopes.
Chile has a new plant to dry digi-
tails. Nearly all the countries to
the south now have some medicine
factories.
The first Brazilian mill to process
shark livers was started by the state
of Sac Paulo early in 1913. Pre-
viously the oil had been extracted
by fishermen using crude methods.
With the new mill, quality has inn
proved rapidly. Shark livers are
put in brine solution. The livers are
then cut into chunks and the chunks
ground into paste. This is put I'M
der pressure and high temperature.
The oil is bottled and sent to Sac
Paulo, and there filtered through
wool to remove stearine, and blend
ed to maintain at least $4,000 units
per gram of vitamin A.

Indians Developed Sign
Language for Talking

The great treeless expanse
stretching westward from the Mis-
souri, river to the Rockies and south
ward from the Fraser river to the
Rio Grande provided a spacious
stage for the development of free
arm signaling between Indians.
Tribes of many stocks roamed the
broad fiat lands, waged wars, spread
over new territory. A universal
means Of inter-communication was
needed.
For inter-tribal messages the hand
served the need better than the
tongue. Sign language enabled In
dams even at the geographic ex-
tremcs of the region to talk with
one another. A Sioux and Co.
manche could discuss their affairs
with the greatest of ease. Kiowas,
Cheyennes and Crows were most
adept, made their silent meetings
occasions of grace as well as greet
ing.
Signs were made with one hand or
both. Originally they required close
reference to the shape, habit or pur-
pore of the subject matter. In time
they advanced from the picture idea
to fixed symbolism. The "vocabu-
larry was enriched with local varia-
tions of its basic gestures until it
was equal to the making of treaty,
the recital of myths and legends,
and the telling Of hunting exploits
and brave deeds.

Fresh Fruit Required for
Canning Tomato Juice

Even though the process of can
ming tomato juice is simple, much
care should be taken. In the first
place utensils of brass, copper, iron,
zinc or galvanized metal should not
be used, because they often give an
undesirable metallic tinge to the
juice. Tomatoes fresh from the
vines should be used if possible.
Handle them in small amounts-not
more than one or two gallons at a
time, since speed in handling is nee
essary to retain vitamin c. It is
easily destroyed by exposure to air.
Well-rirened, firm tomatoes should
be used. Great care must be taken
to remove all the spoiled parts.
Cores and green spots are also re-
moved, but the skins can be left on.
The tomatoes are usually quartered
to facilitate rapid heating. They
are precooked to render the engines
inactive and to permit better sep
aration of pulp and juice. Never
boil the tomatoes-just simmer UNI
til softened. Put the softened, hot
tomatoes through a fine sieve at
once. Reheat this juice immediate
ly to a steaming sinmer-not roll
ing boil. Then pour it into steri-
lized jars and seal.
Too much stress can not be placed
on the sterilizing of the jars and
covers and the quick handling OF
the hot juice. Spoilage is bound to
occur if the jars are not perfectly
sterile and the juice is not very hot
when it is put into the hot jars.
The juice should be processed for
is minutes in boiling water One
eighth inch head space is necessary
for expansion during the processing.
Invert the jars while cooling. Salt
may be added in the proportion OF
one teaspoon to each quart if the
juice is not to be used for infant
feeding.

Pink Eye Infectious

Generally considered infectious,
pink eye may spread rapidly from
one animal to another in a herd.
There is first a watery discharge
from the eye accompanied by swell
ing and reddening of the lids. The
covering of the eye may be inf1amed
and the blood vessels stand out
clearly. AS the disease progresses,
the watery discharge becomes
cloudy and grayish in character, and
the clear portion Of the eye gets
smoky or grayish in color. In Sc
we're cases, ulcers may be noticed
on the cornea.
Affected animals should be iso-
lated and kept in darkened quar-
tiers in the stable from which flies
can be excluded. Laxative and nu-
tritious feed should be given and an
ointment containing some antiseptic
such as boric acid or sulfanilamide,
should be applied twice daily to the
eyes.
