The 16 trays of beautiful butter flies contain more than 150 varie- ties and were sent home to his par ents. They were caught amid the muck and discomfort of warfare somewhere in the South Pacific, " but probably either in New Guinea or some of the nearby islands.
 GIs Join Chase
 "When I first started out, I had to take lot of ribbing, as you can imagine" Cpl. McDonald wrote his parents, but when I'd made few Saoles to collectors and musems (Some rare specimens have sold for as much as $75) and had mounted a Speciatl collection for Gen. O. w. Griswold of the XIV corps, a lot of the fellows joined the chase. Now it's quite amusing to me to see half the GIs in the camp dashing around with long handled nets"
 Many of the butterflies have jew el-colored wingS-the colorings are iridescent blues, purple, tawny yell lows, gold, tangerine, velvet green with white and rose bands, golden browns, blacks, tans, and whites. Some show the gleaming multiple shades found in peacock feathers.
 In his collection there is wide vaoriety Of designs and markings, and one, with green, black, and cop per colors, is the second one of its kind ever known to be captured. In- cluded is the beautifully marked fe- male Victoria Regina" with nine- inch wing spread. and its male counterpart, slightly smaller, both with blue and black wings and gold colored body. Also there are many amost unknown specimens of the papilionids known as "ornithopte- ra'' (giant-winged butterflies); rare sfallowtails, daniads, 1ycaenids, and even the acraea, the hard-to-ge Tiger butterfly.
 Jap Snipers A Hazard
 "At times, when collecting, I had to be on the alert for an occasional Jap sniper," Cpl. Mcdonald wrote. we were warned, too, to watch out for head hunters, who back in the hills still pursue their traditional practices.

Steel Hits Production Peak
New Methods
 Raise Tonnage To 89,4OO,OOO
NJ M 1.
BY s. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Correspondent

New York, Dec. 13.- -Shortagt conscious Steelmen, aware of the critical need for more ammunition at the front, report that there t no shortage in any type of steel from which munitions are made Steel production has reached new peak this year, with mills produc- ing 89, 9,400,000 as compared with 8S,- 800, 0,000 tons last year. 2
 In fact, industry spokeSmen say that all war needs can be satisfied adequately, with a surplus left over for such civilian goods as 1ppers and electric irons. This is described as true not only of steel as a whole but also of every type or shape of steel as a raw product.
 SteelmakerS have overcome the problems that faced them some time ago, when overall steel pro- duction was enough to meet mili- tary demands but serious short ages had developed in some forms of steel, particularly plate.
 SUBSTITUTES TO STAY
 Critical scarcities of scrap have bene overcome. Plant capacity is more than enough. Even the manpower situation is not toe critical in the mills, although em- ployment has been declining in the past two years and more help would be welcomed.
 To meet the tremendous de- mands for steel, the industry has expanded various of its capacities enormously and has had to solve some difficult technical problems.
 Overall capacity of steel mills has been raised from 81 ,600, 900 tons att he beginning of 1940 to 93, FOG, ,0O0 tons at the beginning of 1944. Dur ing the first six months of this year that expanded plant was being used to 96.7 per cent of capacity.
 At the beginning of war pro- duction there was serious bottle neck in electric furnace capacity for making very high grade alloy steels. That was eliminated by building up from only 1900, ,000 tons of electric furnace . capacity at the beginning of 194O to 93, FOG, ,0OO tons at the end of 1943. In July, 1944, it was found necessary to use only "A per cent of the potential output of these furnaces.
 Another hazard arose out of the cutting off of supplies of aloying metals for making speciality steels badly needed for war use. This was beaten by developing new steels to do the necessary jobs-not ersatz steels, in the sense of uSable though second-rate metals, but "sub- stitutes" so good that many of them will be kept on the job even when the old allowing metals again be- come freely available.
 These NE (national emergency steels are based upon a new metal lurgical philosophy. Before the war was three to five or six per cent of one or Cat most two) al- loving metals were in virgin form. Now as little as half of one per- cent of three or four metals, most ly in scrap form, IS used to do the
 equivalent trick.

IRISH BODBIES TO HELP POLICE OCCUPIED ZONE
BY THOMAS J. SANEWAYs Omitted Press Correspondent

London, Dec. 1S CUP) Northern Ireland may provide the majority of the thousand police vol-s unteers asked for by the British Foreign Office to make up the Brit- ish Police Commission for the post- war policing of occupied enemy ter- ritory.
 Recruiting has been extended to, Ulster because of the lack of voI- unteers in Britain. The reason for the absence of enthusiasm in Brit-, ain--it has been referred to the Treasury for consideration-is that, although policemen accepted for the new force will step up one rank, no increase in present salaries is pro- vided for. The rank of sergeant will be the lowest in the new force, but the London bobby promoted in the new force will, under present arrangements, continue to draw con stables pay.
 To Take Intensive Course
 The British Police Commission will be headed by Col. Gordon Her. bert Ramsey Halland, 56-year- former chief of the Metropolitan Police College.
 When the required number of voluteers has been enrolled they will be brought from Northern Ireland and the British provincial cities to London for an intensive course of training at new police college soon to be set up here.
 No decision has yet been made or at least diScloSed-aS to whether the first batch of trained men will follow the advancing armies through Germany to organize the police system immediately or leave London in body after the final victory. However, it is anticipated that the latter course will be adopt ed, with the military authorities re- sponsible for the supervision of oc- cupied territory until then.
 Boobies Highly Trained
 Northern Ireland police officerI are considered ideally suitable for the new job. They will require the minimum of training. They are highly trained, efficient force and the only armed police force in the British Isles. Their specialized training in dealing with Irish guer- rillaS- members of illegal organiza- tions, who through the years have been using the methods now threat ened by German civilians, will prove invaluable in their new job.
 An Ulster government official in London said: There is unlikely to be any dearth of volunteers in Bel- fast. In fact, If the British hobbies objections are not quickly ironed out, it seems likely that the entire rank and file of the new force will be recruited in Ireland. Anyway, they say Irishmen make the best bobbies.''

 Many tropical butterflies, par ticularly the most brilliant, produc- es a very exquisite perfume, pre- Sumably from andraconia or scent scales on the wings. Some scents are spicy; others are like migno- nette, heliotrope, violet, or sandal wood. Unfortunately, the perfume disappears when the insect dies. The averageag of the tropical butterfly is only about eight weekS,' he added.

Poor Digestion? 61 i 7.
 Headachy? 00 Sour or Upset? % Tired-ListlesS? O0

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produce about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undigested- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly - often in as little as 30 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-when Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma lures own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 10f and 25s.

By 1929 the na- tion's mills were producing more steel every year than the entire post-World War capacity would have permitted.
 New industries, new uses in old industries, and expansions in both can keep steel mills working on a very satisfactory basis once re- conversion is completed, steel men say.
