HOME NURSE.
BY Iona l.. TROTT
Assistant Director,
Red Cross Nursing Service
Written for NEA Service

The ordinar pasteboard
grocery box can be utilized IN
many ways in improvising
necessary equipment for the
care Of the sick.
An excellent lap table for
holding the tray or for writing
when the patient sits up in bed
can be made from pasteboard
box that is about IA by 10
inches in size. First cut off the
flaps, if any, that cover the top
of the box. Then with sharp
knife cut out both of the longer
sides of the box about two
inches from the corner angle
all around. The margin of two
inches that is left strengthens
the table and keeps the remain
ing ends from spreading out so
that it will collapse. If desired.
the box can be covered with gay
wall paper or a cloth print to
make it look better.
BRIGHT COVER HELPS
A very satisfactory backrest
also can be made of larger
pasteboard carton such as that
in which canned goods are ship
ped. Find box that measures
about the same dimensions each
way. If the top flaps are still on
the box remove them from the
ends but leave them on the
sides. Stand the box open side
up. With a sharp knife cut
down two corners so as to sepa-
rate one side from the ends.
Draw diagonal line on each
end from the top attached cor
ner to the bottom at the open
side. Score these two lines with
the knifes and bend the free cor
ners to the inside. Now bend
the loose side over until it meets
the upper edge of the box, form
ing a triangular enclosure. Fold
the remaining top flap down
over the slanting side and tie it
securely at each end with a
heavy cord.
The backrest can be further
strengthened and improved in
appearance by encasing 1t in
white muslin or bright cloth
print, which may be sewed on
in such way that it can be re-
moved easily for washing.
This triangular wedge can be
used to support the pillows un-
der the head and shoulders, or
to keep the weight of the bed
ding off the feet.

LESSON FOR THE MASTER RACE

IF recent reports from within Germany ore to be
credited the Nozis themselves have accommodate
inov sorted the difficult task Of de-educotng their
followers This is being done not through books, but
throuoh impressive laboratory demonstrations in their
own city streets.
It seems that their dwndIing noonpower reserve
has forced the Nozis impress prisoners from Ash
otto Russia into SERVICE and thus knock the racial
supremacy theory for loop. For today the Germans
see about them conelomerote collection Of men in
German uniforms whose complexion and bone struc-
ture proclaim them to be "inferior" according to
the n,oster-roce diet which Hitler fed his people for
10 years.
That must be quite JOLT And particularly since
many Of these foreigners wear the SIS uniform. The
SIS used to be the cream Of the Noz CROP Its fanatic
members intent proving, by blood and
Slaughter thot the ''Nordics" living inside certain

lows to ensIove and rule their neiehbors.
Today thousands Of those ardent disciples Of the
New Order lie buried in distant lands. So many are
gone thot the Nozi leaders must now force members
Of the destined slave race, on pain Of DEATH to de-
fend the master against inevitable defect by
the oonquerine "inferior" armies.
1t would be battling task to try to explain
such anomaly. Here prisoners compelled to
take up arms in defense Of philosophy which would
ensIove them but which, by defending, they also de-
stroy The significance behind the sight Of Moneo-
Ioid foce above an SIS uniform can hardly be lost
upon the most obtruse German.
And yet it may be wondered how lasting on inn

NEEDS ESTIMATED
TO 9O-FOLD EXPANSION

NELDo Wv ER-E 20 lNn n Ed
TO 9O-FOLD EXPANSION
The reason for this somewhat
embarrassing situation is SIM
ply that requirements for mag
nesium were vastly overcast
mated and the industry was
over-expanded.
In 1899 u S. industry actu-
ally consumed 6,450.O0O pounds
of magnesium.
Under war pressure and pan
ic planning, the industry was ex-
banded 90 times to a rated pro-
duction capacity of 586 million
pounds year.
Today the industry is operat-
ing at rate of only 80 million
pounds a year, Ia times greater
than pre-war production but
only one seventh of capacity.
Government war agencies
went about in planning this
tremendous capacity. On War
Production Board directives,
reconstruction Finance Corpor-
alton made So commitments for
a total of 453 million dollars to
build new magnesium plants.
1t is this 453 million dollar
capital investment which, il
charged off as a war cost and
pro-rated against the approxi-
mately one billion pounds of
magnesium produced between
1910 and the end of 1945, would
add to the actual ceiling prices
which the government has paid
for its magnesium an overhead
of around As cents a pound. or
more than double the cost of the
metal itself.
The government is now whole
owner of IL magnesium plants
and half owner of thirteenth.
WPB began to cut back these
plants production a year ago,
first by so per cent, then by
shutting them down completely.
In all, nearly 1000 workmen
have been laid off by these cut
backs and sent to other war
jobs.
Biggest of the closed plants Is

DOW HAS MADE 1T FOR

Dow Chemical has been the
biggest and most successful OPP
orator, furnishing the know
how for other operators. Dow
was in the business before the
war and some of its magnesium
has been produced at IL cents
pound. Dow's own mother"
plant at Midland, Mich, is still
going.
The only other privately own
ed plant is Henry j. Kaiser's
Permanente Medals in Californ-
ia. Using a new process, Perm
anente had trouble with its ear
ly production and costs were
higher than the OPA ceiling
prices. WPB therefore recon-
mended that Kaiser be paid out
of pocket costs in the form of
subsidy. This was done on IS
million pounds at cost of ST.
700, 900, an average of ~16 cents
a pound.
RFC loans to the Kaiser Com
pany to build Permanente total
% million dollars. Kaiser has
pledged the profits of some of
his ship-building operations to
retire this debt, and the Kaiser
Company's latest balance sheet
shows surplus of over 80 mil
lion dollars from which Kaiser
says the government loan will
be repaid in full.
Only chance for the govern
ment to break even on most of
its other magnesium production
ventures is through develop
ment of a great postwar boom
in magnesium trains, planes, au-
tos. etc.

Frederick Varady, president
of the Artists and Sculptors' In
stitute of New York City, the
news story read, had named
Rita Hayworth, Sylvia Sidney,
Lana Turner, and Jane Russell
as the four most exciting women
in motion picture history.
Not a bad choice. Except that
we would have named six, add
ing Hedy Lamar and Clara
Bow. We were happy, though,
about Sylvia Sidney. She's al
ways been one of our favorites.
