OPA Keeps Most
Meats Ration Free
CONTINUED from FIRST Pagel

Butter stays at IL points a pounC
and margarine at two points.
One Reduction
Choice beef steaks and roasts
continue to be the only meat cuts
requiring ration stamps. Values
are unchanged with one exception
Chuck steaks and roasts are cut
two points a pound. Flank steak
remains point-free.
All grade ID beef is removed
from ratiOning for the June per-
iod. but OPA said very few steaks
and rOasts of this lower quality
are sold at retail. Most of the meat
from these animals is made into
hamburger and sausage.
In continuing the ration-free
meat bargains. the agency said Ov-
er-all civilian supply for June av-
erages 310.136,000 pounds a week,
a SO per cent increase over the
S2,S59.O00 pounds a week in May.
Beef, veal, lamb, mutton and var
iety meats will be in more plenti-
full supply in the new period. Pork.
while still coming to market in
amounts exceeding demand, will
fall slightly in volume.
More Cheese AllOcated
ALLEGATIONS of cheese for June
total 67,O00,000 pounds as compar-
ed with 55.O0O,000 pounds for May.
accounting for the two-point re-
ductiOn in ration values.
An increase to so per cent in the
butter set aside for the Army and
Navy reduced the monthly alloca-
tion for civilians to 133.0O0.OOO
pounds from 145,00O,O0O in May,
when 40 per cent of production was
put aside. This tightens the supply,
but the overall distribution situ-
alton "is regarded as good" OPA
said.
1t explained that the point value
on evapOrated milk is being cut in
half because with most meats re-
moved from rationing only 80 red
points instead of so are being vail
lated each month.
"Evaporated milk is an impor-
ant item in infant feeding and
lalving the point value will permit
of the same amount with
10 points as previously could be
Fought with co." 0PA said.
The point increase for pineapple
uice and grape juice reflects short
upply and too rapid movement in

Dairymen attending the meet
ings discussed production problems
and were given further specific in.
formation on the program, includ-
ing an action sheet for checking
recommended practices they in
tend to follow in 1914.
In order to be most effective
this type of program requires wide
cooperation, particularly in the
control of disease and now more
than 200 Delaware dairymen are
already participating, but the CO.
operation of all dairymen in the
state is needed to produce more of
this essential food.
Further information on the pro-
gram has been developed by the
committee comprised of Paul M.
Hodgson of Dover; DIR. T. A. Bak-

Deadly Spotted Fever
Is Carried By Ticks
CONTINUED from First Page)

Wilmington reported no cases
last year though persons in the
city contracted Rocky Mountain
spotted fever in 194l and . in 1898.
while l case of it was reported in
1910.
Examine Body Closely
Since many persons picnic or
go on jaunts to the country this
time of year, the State Board of
Health warns everyone to watch
out for ticks and to examine the
body closely when returning from
such a trip. The principal danger
of the tick is, of course. his bite
and even though only l tick in
many hundreds may carry the
Rocky Mountain fever virus. that
tick (which cannot be recognized
from the resD may cause a fatal
infection.
Ticks may also be found in
towns where the grass and weeds I
are allowed to grow wild. Keep
these cut closely around houses.
schools and parks. advises the
State Board of Health.
Where ticks are picked up out .
of doors, it is usually from grass
or weeds close to the ground. Boots
laced over trOuSer legs. or even
sox pulled up over the bottom of
trousers. helps to keep the ticks
from crawling beneath the cloth
ing.
Examine Children Often
Ticks often work their way up
ward before attaching themselves.
The back of the neck and head of
human beings are favOrite feeding
places. Careful examination of
heads, especially of children-at
east twice a day-may reveal
ick in time to prevent fatal bite.
The bite of tick is seldom felt.)
Removal of Ticks
People are advised not to become
lnduly excited if they do find I
ick because it must be attached 5
n hours and must be infected s
With the spotted fever in order to
i've a person the disease. Remove
n attached tick with forceps,
weezers or wearing rubber gloves
n order to keep the tick blood off
he hands. If these things are not
valuable. BE SURE to scrub the !
ands well afterwards, warns the 6
tate Board of Health.
If the tick is not easily removed,
onsult a doctor at once. Should
here be any illness after an at
lched tick has been removed, the
octor should be also called, for
could be the beginning of the r
isease. The i'll person should rest :,
lietly until he comes. =
Vaccine Available :,
A vaccine is now available for n
lie prevention of Rocky Mountain 4
,otted fever. and persons whose ri
ork takes them into tick-infested n
'eas are advised by the board to il
ave this immunizing treatment. n
Dogs Carry Ticks W
Ticks often feed on dogs, and W
'metimes on cats, making it nee
sary to watch for these danger N

around in a sedentary manner too

Freedom of speech was exem-

DR.. Carlson, in picturing the ben

in his studies at Pitt he found
that 300 engineers in compulsory
competitive athletics over a period
of II weeks could apply them
selves better and on an average
did As per cent more work at 10
per cent less cost.
The cure for true fatigue is rest,
DR.. Carlson says. False fatigue,

Dr. Carlson is the Pittsburgh

Another major discovery was
that a person RECEIVERS more in

intense activity than he will in

A third finding deals with the

HARDWOOD UPSET
SCORED AT CAMP

CAMP DAVIS, Jan. IA. - The
form chart in the International
League hoop circuit at the IA cen
ter was all upset tonight when
the pace-setting 235th EN- bowed
to Btry I, AAS, 24-20 in Farnsworth
Hall.
During the first half there was
no hint that the pennant leader was
to be jostled. The 235th group was
out in front, scoring Is points to
the opposition's 10.
Ragster and Grant netted all but
one basket of this total as Btry.
rs cagers were limited to five field
goals. However, it was entirely
another story in the second hall.
With Bell scoring three times and
adding one foul toss, Btry. linen
came from behind with a cluster of
IL points. The underdog held the
235th scoreless in the third period.
Despite the single goal in the
session, Btry I still managed to
keep the 235th behind. The best
the trailers could do was close the
gap to four points at the finish
of the game.
In the Maple Hill section Of
camp, the Student Brigade Officers
avenged an earlier setback OF the
AA Board by soundly humping
their recent conquerors 31-10, in g

outfit and not one substitute was
used.

halfway marker, the Brigade rar
