Horse Meat Being Sold

Washington, April 4-CUP)-The War Food Administration wouldn't know" about it, but Chairman Elmer Thomas, D., Okla, of the Senate Investigating committee suspects that home of the "beef" civilians buy at black markets is horse meat.
 Thomas delved into the question at the committees hearing today.
 He asked It. Col Ralph w. Olmbstead, WFA Director of Sup- ply, if there was "a black market in horse meat?"
 Olmstead turned the question right over to Norris E. Dodd, an- other WFA official Dodd said he wouldn't know"
 Thomas was worried.
 T don't think the average per- son could tell" he said. And understand that in some of these markets a customer finds nice little package all wrapped up, marked 50 much, and just takes it home"
 Now" he continued, If we're coming to the point where the cus- toner is really getting horse meat, I think the public ought to be ad- vised. Is there any way they can tell?"
 Dodd said there is little difference in color," and in regular meat market, horse meat has to be marked horse meat.
 But in black market" he added, T wouldn't know"

Circus Adds N lew Feature

New York, April (U.P) - Old circus followers may get a shock tonight when Ringing Bro- thers and Barnum and Bailey Con- bined Shows, Inc, wheel out seven oysters all of them lit and stand ing in black shoes.
 Press agents for the colossal pro- duction explained that the oysters are part of the Alice in Wonder land theme but that all the familiar tight rope, horse, clown and ele- phant acts are on the program.
 The make-believe oysters stand on their skinny legs in the black shoes on a blue wagon which will be rid den by a walrus and a carpenter. With the lights out inside them, the oysters look like thick mollusks. But aglow, they are a tempting dish for hungry patrons.
 As the circus wound up dress re- hearsals for tonight's opening, pret- ty girls in shorts and halters pranced around the dirt floor in Madison Square Garden, bearing round shields and silver battle axes.
 A man beloved at them through public address system. The brass band struck up the overture and the girls raced into the end rings, bouncing like mad Indians and brandishing their axes.
 The big gates swung open and out dashed girls on horseback. One im- mediately fell off and stood up rub- ping her britches. A stranger in a box seat applauded and the circus people stared at him.
 A man in shirt sleeves and khaki pants-the ring master-cracked a whip at the horses and waved his arms at two blondes sweating to keep their four horses tandems from crashing into each other on the turns in the Roman chariot race.
 The black horses beat the white horses. That's tip on what's going to happen twice a day. The race is fixed. The fellow with the micro- phone was satisfied. He yelled:
 Seven o'clock! Seven o'clock; Re- member everybody! Seven o'clock"
 The clowns didn't rehearse be- cause they know their stuff and will show it tonight when the pay ing customers throw in the first pop corn ball.

 CANCER IS DURABLE
 Every cancer passes through a state when it is cupable-either by surgical removal or radiation. !" says D. Ludwig Hekoten. world famous president of the Board of Trustees of the Chicago Tumor Institute. With sufficient funds to set Up facilities and to disseminate te information 90,0O0 lives could be saved each year by radium, X-ray or surgery, experts report.
 A lag in government aid has been an adverse factor in the fight against cancer. Congress passed legislation in 1888 setting aside April as Cancer Control Month. Durnig this period the Field Army of the American Cancer So- ciety-the one great national edu- cational body-conducts an inten- Sive nationwide campaign, both educational and fund-raising in scope. This year the Society seeks $5,OO0,O00 to further cancer re- search and is endeavoring to en- list many more volunteers to carry on it's educational and service pro- gram.

Mandatory Deoth Penalties Stand

Boston, April 4-(UP)-The House has defeated a bill which would abolish the mandatory death penalty for first degre murder in Massachusetts.
 By a 100 to 95 vote, the House yesterday rejected the proposal of Rep. John w. Vaughan (R) Bel mont which would permit juries to recommend life imprisonment in- stead of the mandatory death by electrocution in first degree mur- der cases.
 The measure was turned down af- ter prolonged debate during which Vaughan asserted that enactment of such legislation would result in more jury convictions.
 "Juries have turned sex offend CTS loose because they didn't have enough evidence to execute them" he said.

Tin Collection
Soon Says Mons

Members of the MONS Club are
announcing to all the women's or
CARNATIONS who have promised as.
sistance in the collection, that
Wednesday, Sept. 5, is the date.
City trucks will be on the streets
and every individual should be
ready with cans processed for de-
timing.
The MONS Club believe that
nearly every home could provide a
sack OF tin cans ready for ship
ment. Previous drives have failed
largely because people have forgot
ten to be ready. The need Is great.
It will be six months before any
adequate supply of tin can be Sc
cured from the mines. Every large
industry in the metal trades needs
some tin. Americas "tin mines are
still in the kitchen.
