WASHINGTON. July 81 W.D -
Director General Herbert H. Leh-
man of the United Nations Relief
and Rehabilitation Administration
tonight called for belt tightening
and soap rationing in all unin-
vaded United Nations, including
the United States to cope with
liberated Europe's despe ate
needs.
He warned in a radio address
(ABC) that the first great battle
Of the peace" cannot be won un-
less the United States and other
countries which have suffered
least during the war redeem the
pledges made to liberated nations.
Kindly expressions will not
feed empty stomachs," he said.
If liberated countries OF Europe
fall prey to famine and pestilence,
there can be no security for any
of u.s."
He said that if everyone in the
United States would give up
pint OF milk monthly, UNhRA
could meet its schedules for the
last half of 1915. He pointed out
that the United States had prom.
ised UNRRA 100OOO,OOO pounds
each of canned pork and fat cuts
OF pork, but that less than
2,oo0,0o0 pounds of canned pork
and l2,O0u,O00 pounds of fat cuts
aad actually been delivered.
He said the United States and
other uninvaded countries should
take these steps now to enable
UNRRA to do its job:
/. Production of whole milk
powder for liberated areas should
De required in every country able
to produce it. The United States
should set aside 20 per cent of all
eVaporated milk consumed and cut
production of ice cream to meet
the need.
2. Several million head of the
cattle population of the countries
should be put into cans for i'm
mediate export.
3. Each country should decrease
consumption of fats so that Eu-
ropes "drab bread and potato
Diet can be improved.
4. Soap rationing should be in
stituted to help Europe combat

candy canes. White papier mache angels in gold-spangled tarleton robes. Paper panOramaS of coun- try villages and skating ponds, people with brightly clad figures. Miniature beaverboard churches and sleighS, heaps of gold and sil- yer bells, shining stars and balls.
 That's what you see when you look into the busy WOrkrooms of one of Santa Claus topflight American aSsiStants-Cecelia Sta ples. Miss Staples, her husband, Ira Smith, and the firms are di- rector, Irving Sherman, are part nerS in New York firm which produces window and counter dis plays for stores all over the coun- try. From May to December they are busy on backgrounds for Christmas gifts.
 The three, all young, met in their art school days at Pratt In- stitute, Brooklyn. Miss Staples blonde, slender, chic and a whirl- wind of energy made some drawings, cut classes for a week and sold her work in Greenwich Village. That gave her courage to take her wares to department store display sections. They used her work and urged her to try her hand at paper relief effects. Soon she was working more with scis- sorS than paint and her small apartment overfloWed with paper pictures and figures.
 Then the three students joined forces. started producing display material in a cold water tenement and eventually built a business of paper whose production now fills a four-story building.
 Miss Staples originates ideas and sells, working at a big three sided desk amid a mass of paints paper, beads, spangles and glitter ing plastic "jewles"
 'The figures are made of papier mache, worked over an armature, and the flesh is put on with crushed folds of tissue paper, dip- ped in paste, and smoothed on," she explained. "The clothes are made of paper too. Then they are painted and dressed up with ac- cents. The paper panoramas are cut out a piece at a time and fas- tened to flat wooden armature."
 When Christmas production is at fever heat. Miss Staples races around among fhe workers-manY of whom are art students-check- ing up on results. ordering more fluff in an angels robe. more jew els in a crown. At her heels trails Ruggles. her poodle. adding an oc- casional Yip ot the jingle of her bracelets.
 At the peak season Miss Staples finds it hard to get enough com- petent workers and drives pro- duction harder than ever, with no time for idle talk. One morning after she had advertised for help, she looked up from her work to find man in an overcoat stand ing at her elbow.

Death Iure for Insects

Both green and red lights mean
danger-death to insects-and din
ner to trout, Submerged red and
green neon lights are used to lure
flying insects to trout and other fish
rearing ponds at the Spearfsh, S. D.
station of the bureau of fisheries.
Insects are attracted to the waters
surface by the lights under water,
the fish do the catching themselves.
Usual method heretofore was hang
ing an ordinary drop-cord lamp with
reflector, letting insects be lured
BY the reflection in the water. Lights
beneath the surface are better but
hatchery officials are not sure that
color enhances the catch.
