MAKING LIFE WORTH WHILE

The war has had a tendency to make people forget that in
normal times industry lives to please consumers. However.
wise industrial representatives have not forgotten. They
know the day is again coming when their survival will depend
upon giving consumers what they want. In shop and labora-
tory a competitive battle is even now raging, the objective of
which is to hit the market after the war with better products.
After two years of research, the coal industry has develop
ed a super-effcient, small, soft coalburning heating unit de-
signed to sell for about $4,000. 1t is smOkelesS, delivers half
again as much effective heat from the same amount of coal
as an old fashioned furnace. 1t utilizes every bit of coal and
can be left INTENDED for three days.
More remarkable than the furnace itself is the new fuel
to be burned in it-coal so clean it can be handled with kid
gloves. ut won't exactly be wrapped in %celophane," says Harry
Vawter, director of the Bitumnous Coal Institute, "but pretty
close to it. In addition to being Numbered at the mine, it will
be coated with a thin film of plastic, wax or light oil. 1t will
be so free of dust, you will be able TO handle it with white
gloves without getting them soiled."
He adds that bituminOus coal is mined in "a states and
there is enough to last 5000 years. Nine out of every ten tons
are now mined mechanically, thus helping to keep the price
down.
In the meantime, countless other industries have their own
innovations ready to spring on the public when peace comes.
If we ever stopped to think, we would realize that it is this
ceaseless driving energy so typical of American enterprise that
makes life interesting and worth while. W. would be lost with
out itin peace as well as war.

to save it and that is all there is to it. Part of their job is to
secure the cooperation of consumers. Customers are asked to
not waste bags. In sehservice stores this means not to take
a large bag when a small one will do. 1t means not to ask for
bags for packages that are already wrapped. Whenever pos
sible, used bags should be brought from home. A poster typi-

Even in Victory Gardens
Rotation Is Wise Rule

Annual rotation of the garden site
for crops of the same plant family
will prevent much of the trouble
eases that live through the winter
in the garden soil or in the remains
of last years crops.
Cabbage, tomatoes, peas and mel
ons are among the common garden
crops that should be planted in a
different part of the garden each
year. AS crops of the same plant
family are usually susceptible to the
same diseases, all crops of one fam
lily may well be planted together
each year. Cabbage, caulifower,
broccoli, and brussels sprouts are
all susceptible to club root. Little
would be gained by planting cab
bage where broccoli grew last sea-
son. Tomatoes, eggplant, and pep
pcrs have common pests, SO egg
plant might not do well if planted
in last years tomato patch.
Seed must also be free of disease.
AS several different seed treatments
for seed-borne diseases are needed
for different crops, the gardener usu-
ally finds it best to buy treated
seed.
Gardeners who have their crops in
the back yard usually find room
about the yard and grounds for per-
ennial as well as annual flowers.
The victory gardener who has part
of community plot, or rents va
cant lot, naturally wants no peren-
malls. But he may find that a few
annual flowers in the garden take
little time and return much in en-
joyment and in cut flowers for the
home.
A few rows of annual flowers in
the garden are as easy to take care
of as vegetables.

Tin Salvaged From Cans
HELPS Fill War Demands

American women can "mine" tin
sufficient for nine submarines day.
These figures were compiled by
J. A. Stewart, vice president of the
American Can company, on the ba-
sis of canned foods consumed by CT
villains during 1913. On the basis of
last years consumption, civilians
are opening approximately 29,700,-
900 cans of food day, he said.
According to a table recently issued
by Washington, 100000 cans pro-
vide tin sufficient for one submarine.
Meanwhile, the armed forces con-
sumed approximately three billion
cans of food during 1913 and needs
for the current year are expected to
rise to three and quarter billion
cans, he said. He pointed out that
with a greatly increased number of
the armed forces in overseas duty,
more canned foods will be needed
because the can has proved the most
practical container for shipment of
foods abroad.
Save Paper, Too.
Conserving paper is extremely i'm
portant also. More than 10 times as
much tonnage of materials and sup
plies is being shipped overseas in
this war as in 1917-1918, requiring
millions of containers. Paper also
is needed for such direct war uses as
shell containers, bomb rings, prac-
tice bombs, camouflage material,
blueprints, blood plasma cartons, ra-
ton kits, bomb fins, tropical he'll
NETS, parachute flares, airplane sig
mails, ammunition chests and protec-
tive wrappings for shipments of
fragile materials.
Here are examples of what paper
does to help win the war:
rs tons of blueprint paper help
make battleship.
IL pounds of paper make the
rings of 500-pound bomb.
1.8 pounds of paper make a
77-mm. shell container.
If each of the 34,854 ,532 food buy
ers used one less one-eighth-barre
bag, or its equivalent, each day, the
resulting conversation would be:
52,2S1 1888 ounces of paper, or
3,267,61 pounds of paper, or
1854 tons of paper every day.
This would contribute to the war
effort:
Enough blueprint paper for
use in the building of Is battle
ships.
Enough paper for the rings of
272,301 500-pound bombs.
Enough paper for 1,S15,385 !
containers for 75-mm. shells.
Here's how paper bags can be
conserved:
l. Several items can be put in one
big bag.
2. Food buyers can bring bags to
the store to be used for loading their
own groceries. They are not asked
to return bags for reuse by others
than themselves.
3. They can use other types of
shopping bags to carry groceries.
4. They can carry home packaged
items unwrapped.

The True Story

One Chinese official said to me:
IF only we could get bare 5000
tons of goods month from the out
side, to be sold at prices controlled
by the government, it would make
all the difference in the world.
Twenty big cargo planes making
regular trips would be enough to
carry it.
"You can buy bottle of aspirin
went on. "When we can get any
aspirin in China, a single tablet
costs that much. But the price is
not so important. If we could get
aspirin, Chat is just an example)
even if we had to set a price Of say
five cents a tablet, it would serve
our purpose. We are willing to
stabilize prices, even if they must
be at high level, but we cannot
stop initiation unless we have the
consumer goods to SELL"
For long time, the seriousness
of China's financial situation has
been known; the hardships the
white collar class, the professional
peoples suffering; the lack of food
and shoes and cartridges Ito say
nothing of artillery for the army;
but it is only recently that detailed
stories have been widely printed
and open discussion has taken place
here.
There were two reasons for the
brake on revealing to America in
ternal conditions in China. In the
first place, the Chinese did not wish
their situation to be any more
widely known than necessary, and
for that reason, Chungking clamped
down wall of censorship on all
news originating there.
In the second place, Americans
familiar with the facts-and this ap-
plies to many writer's as well
as Americas government officials
friendly in China-did not wish to be
in the position of perhaps damaging
the morale of loyal ally and GER
tainly offending her government by

WNU Service, Union Trust Building
Washington, D. C.
Ever since the day when America
as nation was just little over
eight years old, and the first Yankee
merchantmen, flying the brand new
stars and stripes, was welcomed in
Canton harbor, the story of Chinese
American relations has been the
story of long and beautiful friend
ship.
Recently, however, there has been
considerable concern among the
friends of China in Washington over
the growing strain in those rela-
tons which seemed gradually to be
reaching a dangerous tension after
seven years of war in which China
has looked vainly to America for
the aid that was not forthcoming.
Now, two things have happened
which have considerably eased the
strain, and these two nations who
need each other so much and be-
tween whom such a reservoir of
good will, as Willkie called it, has
been built up, are both breathing
easier.
One thing is the turn of the tide
of battle in Burma for which much
of the credit may be given to Uncle
Joe" Stilwell as leader of the
Chinese-American forces The other
is the visit of Vice President Wal
lace to Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek.
Today, Chinese officials are build
ing high hopes on that visit. They
believe that when the vice president
returns, he will be able to stimu-
late an understanding in America of
what they consider China's great
est affliction-economic chaos.
Nobody claims that China's
troubles are limited to her economic
situation. Some observers would put
even the war, which is bad enough,
second to political dissention which
has only been prevented from out
break by an iron hand. But the thing
that the Chinese government thinks
would do the most good right now is
consumer goods: medical supplies
and essential chemicals first; then
probably clothing next and on down
the line, including all the things one
needs to carry on civilized existence
in its simplest way.
The Chinese don't quite agree with
the way we use initiation to describe
their internal situation although
printing press money has been put
into circulation to the tune of mil
lions of dollars and that Chinese
financial resources have been
scraped to the bone.
