FEATHERS: The war has opened
a new market for a domestic prod
uct-chicken feathers. They are now
used for stufing pillows and cush-
ions. Before the war, 80 per cent
Of down feathers came from Europe

ducks and geese. New methods of
preparing chicken feathers make
them more sanitary, and softer than
formerly.
POLIO: A Wichita, Kan, baby
who developed symptoms of infantile
paralysis II days after birth seems

her symptoms did not show up until
four days later.
QUAIL: During church services

To make sure that there will not
be another Tarawa when doughboys
land in the Marshalls astride our
supply lines in the mid-Pacif1c, U. S.

plying Jap troops through coastal
depots.
With their bombers striking at en-
envy supply lines, u. S. troops drove
farther inland, both on New Guinea

JAP ATROCITIES:
Death March

death March on Bataan."
In these four CHASTITY words. the
late Lieut.. Col. William Dyess, who
led a party Of officers and men in
escaping from Jap Imprisonment,
told still more CHASTITY story of hor-
TOR and atrocity committed against
the heroic u. S. and Philippine de-
tenders of Bataan by the enemy.
On IS miles of road leading from
Bataan to San Fernando, Colonel
Dyess related in a war and navy
department release, U. S. and Fill
Pine troops plodded along from dawn
to dusk for six days, thirsting under
a piercing sun. Sick and delirious
were dragged from the struggling
columns and cruelty put to death. In
one instance, prisoners were forced
to bury three Americans and Fill
pinos alive at bayonet point.
Conditions in prison camps were
equally atrocious, the army and ma
wy report revealed. At one camp,
the death rate was 20 Americans and
$50 Filipinos a day in the first week.
In the second week the rate jumped
to so Americans and 500 Filipinos
through starving and overwork.

PETROLEUM WAKES:
Waterproofers

To help meet the military serv-
ices crying need for water and other
proofng, the petroleum industry pro-
duced 100000 tons of wakes in 1943,
a notable achievement since certain
crudes have a wax content of only
three-fourths of / per cent.
In 1914, emphasis will be placed
on production of micro-crystalline
wakes, which have proven especial
ly useful in packaging food rations
because thin coatings resist mois-
ture and the substance retains it's
fexibility in low temperatures.
Micro-crystallines are further useful
in proofng army shoes against mus
tard gases and protecting metal
parts from the elements.

TELEPHONE RATES
To Be Reduced

Interstate telephone rates will be
reduced March l, by agreement be-
tween the Bell Telephone system and
the Federal Communications COM
mission. Subscribers will be saved
about eight million dollars a year,
it is estimated. Putting night long
distance telephone rates into effect
at 6 p. m. instead Of p. m. will
account for most of the reduction,
or about 51s million dollars.
The remainder is accounted for by
a lowering of the overtime rate on

Southwest Citizens
Call for Construction
OF Receiving Home

Endorsement of the Public We'll
fare Boards request for the con-
struction and stating of a children's
receiving home with classification
service was voted by the Southwest
Citizens Association last night.
Rev. Harry v. Porter, who pre-
sented the resolution, said the re-
ceiving home now is located in
building abandoned by the Training
School for Girls. The District has
purchased some ground near Gal
laudet College on Florida avenue
NE, Rev. Porter continued. and it
was suggested this site be used for
the construction of a new receiving
home.
AT present the children are not
segregated" he added, and "delin-
6uents picked up in the street are
placed with the boys and girls who
are neglected by thier parents.
Ray L. Huff, director of public
welfare in the District, has been
presenting this plan to the Com
missioners since about 1910, Mr.
Porter said. 1t will be presented
again, he went on, and it should
have the "full backing" of every as
sociation in the District.
Construction costs of the home
would be about 100000 and would
house approximately 1000 children.
The group urged Senate confirma-
ton of Guy Mason's appointment as
District Commissioner.
Five members of the District
Health and Engineering Depart
ments addressed the members on
rat control and each urged that the
association educate members to ex-
plain to others methods of garbage,
trash and ash disposal. The speak
ers were william A. Xanten, super
visor of city refuse: j. c. Bradley,
assistant to Mr.. Xanten; Maj. Will
liam H. Cary, jr., director Of the
Bureau of Sanitation; Dr. r. L. De
Saussure. director of the Southwest
Health Center, and D. c. Malcolm,
chief sanitary inspector for the
Southwest Center.
Harry S. Wender, president OF the
District Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, suggested that the group
study and understand the proposed
subway system. He said it Is of
great interest to the people OF
Southwest"
The meeting was held in the
Southwest Public Library and was
presided over by Daniel Melcher,
