II used 10 be feared that the in
fant's digestion was not anything

not handle solid food.
There has been much recent
, work on the digestive secretion
at different ages and this indicates
that the child at seven months be-
gins to elaborate secretions which
rapidly approach the amount and
concentration of adults. For in
stance, taking as a standard OF
stomach secretion the amount OF
hydrochloric acid secreted (and
this is the best standard we have
because stomach digestion depends
upon hydrochloric acid almost en-
tirely) the new born infant has
figure of 20. At six months this
has risen to 20 2 at twelve months
to 40. And during the first year
it jumps almost double to TO- At
fifteen years it is about $50, which

So we see that one to two year

about a third as we'll as the adult.
Even this figure however is some

JOBS FOR ALL IS
KEY TOPEACE

NEW YORK.-(FP)- Jobs for all in
the postwar world is the key to continued
prosperity and peace, the Federal Coun-
Gil of Churches Of Christ said in its
annual Labor day message issued through
the Department of the Church and So
cial Service, The statement follows in
part:
In order to maintain full employment
in peacetime, the problem Of production
must be tackled along three main fronts.
Organized labor should be encouraged to
maintain and strengthen its recent
great gains which have already helped
to raise the general level of living. At
the same time, labor is under the solemn
responsibility so to discipline itself as to
merit the approval of fair-minded peo-
pie. Responsible labor leadership must
make its contribution to the common
good on the basis of justice to the en-
ployer and the general public as we'll as
to labor.
But steady employment in the post
war world will depend also on the full
cooperation of management. Manage
ment is likewise under obligation to-
place the common good above its wn
selfish interest. American businessmen
will meet their full responsibility only
as they direct their great ingenuity to-
ward meeting consumption needs on a
world scale.
Our American industrial system, with
its mutual dependence on capital and
labor, will hold the respect Of society TO
the degree that it can succeed in adapt
ing its program to the demands of a
world economy. ANY tendency toward
a narrow isolatonism or economic inn
perailism on the part of industrial
would constitute a betrayal
of the millions who are making such
sacrifices on the world battlefronts, and
would constitute a step toward World
War No. 3. our churches as part of a |
fellowship could not but re-
sist such a development. We appeal |
therefore, to management and labor
alike to cooperate wholeheartedly in
vast program for worldwide peace and

BUYING PUBLIC
WINS VICTORY

WASHINGTON-(F There will be
no official OPA approval Of tie-in sales
That fact was eked out of an official
source July q and meant real victory
for the buying public and the forces in
OPA that really want a genuine lid on
prices.
Early in July it was reported here that
OPA Administrator Chester Bowles was
ready to approve an amendment to the
agency's rules to give his blessing to tie
in sales.
Most buyers will recall how dealers
would sell you potatoes during shortage
period only If you bought a quart Of
strawberries OF some other product. That
was a tie-in sale.
Had the inflationist bloc in OPA won
over Bowles to changing the regulations,
wholesalers could have compelled retail
ers to buy inferior grades, varieties and
sizes of fruits and vegetables in order to
get even a small quantity Of regular
The inferior grades would
then have been passed on TO the con-
sumer at regular OPA prices for stand
ard grades
Credit for the fight against the tie-in
sales amendment goes to Bowles' assist
ant, James F. Brownlee, who is an ad-
vocate of genuine control of price as a
guard against inflationary practices.
stand is even more remark
able when it is considered that he is an
,fficial of General Foods.

H0OEY AND DENVER

Now, you take HoOEY and DENVER,

Of them doomed the apple business, and
the other is in business for the apple

But who's doing what to whom, and
why is the apple business bum?
Perhaps association is the best way
Of keeping names straight. For instance,
if you can only repeat "DEFYER'LL DO
WHAT HOOEY'S Done" several times
youn keep them straight, if anything
can.
But here again, it's difficult unless
YOU know what DEWYER'S done and

, Never again will we in America be
tolerant of a situation which finds mil
lions of our citizens walking the streets
seeking Jobs that are not to be had" Nr
Meany warned
American industrial facilities, which
have done such a magnificent job pro-
ducing for war needs, can produce Just
as wonderfully and in just as great
quantities the goods we all need and
want, as civilians, when the war ends to
give us and our families happier and
fuller lives" he insisted.
The real market for full American pro
duction is not to be found in foreign
lands, Mr.. Meany declared but right
here inside our own borders among the
American people.
This brings us face to face with the
most vital problem that faces America
today-now-the problem of securing
and maintaining an adequate wage level
that will enable American workers to
stay in the market as consumers of the
many, many things we will be able to
produce in the future"
Mr.. Meany blasted the wage-freezing
Little Steel Formula Of the National War
Labor Board as a breach of faith by the
government toward labor, as an uncon-
scionable injustice to Americas workers
who are producing for victory and as a
brake on postwar recovery.
Our present frozen wages structure"
he said, constitutes a firm basis for a
major depression with millions upon
millions unemployed Immediately after
5he end of the war"
It is up to organized labor itself, with
It's great army of members, to break the
Little Steel Formula, MI. Meany de-
Jared, because they can expect no help
rom the press, from the government or
70 many Of its agencies, including the
Department of Labor.
He cited the idea of "starry-eyed
professor who sits on the War Labor
Board as a public member" proposing
hat the lid be kept on wages now but
hat later when the war ends and plants
re shutting down by the thousands all
lver the country and when mass unem-
'loyment is already an accomplished
raise wages 35 per cent. Mr..
deany commented:
i am sure that we can visualize the
ttitude of employers on a question of
his kind when the patriotic incentive to
Intimate industrial strife has vanished"
The real answer to the problem is to
eadiust the Little Steel formula now to
onfOrm to the actual rise in living costs
ince the war started. He concluded:
only then can we do justice to Amer
,a's great army Of industrial workers
no have produced so wen for victory.
'nly then can we say to the returning
)ldier and sailor, who have fought our
attic on the front lines-yes, we have
reserved our pre-war standard of lv-
lg while you were away. Only then
IN we look forward to an America in
hich all who are ready, willing and able
, work will be able to find work.
Your job now is to use your trade
