SAVES PRISONERS

When the Nazis recently tried to
ship back to Germany a trainload
of persons of various nationalities
who had been imprisoned in Bel
GUM for underground activities,
they were thwarted by the delay
ing tactics of the Belgian railroad
engineer, who acted upon instruc-
tons from the Belgian underground
With prisoners packed in cattle cars
so thickly it was impossible for any
one to sit down, the train started.
Using various ruses, the engineer
managed to get only Is miles in "a
hours, despite threats of Gestapo
men with machine guns who stood
at his side. Finally the train
stopped and the German authorities
decided it was better to let everyone
go free rather than trouble with
them any further.

BUTTER SUPPLY

Americans will not have as much
butter as they want this year, pri-
marily for two reasons-the supply
is down and the demand is great,
the War Food Administration says.
Average per capita supply before
the war was 1877 pounds and this
year it is about 119 pounds. More
people are eager to buy butter today
than ever before, and in the face of
increased demand, production has
declined while five per cent of the
American supply is going to Russia,
mostly for use in hospitals. While
milk production is higher than be-
fore the war, greater proportion of
milk is going into fluid milk, cheese,
evaporated milk and milk powder.
No manufacturer will be required
to set aside any butter for Govern
ment purchase in October or any
succeeding month until Spring,
when production will rise season
ally.
