Nowadays Hunters
Go Out to Get Meat,
Not for q Good Time

Today's critical food shortages in
meat, grains and vegetables have
brought about a change in the status
of hunting in many parts Of the
United States. 1t is no longer merely
a sport, but a serious business.
In some sections of the country,
such as parts of California, migrat-
ing ducks, now increasing in great
numbers through the practice OF
wise conservation methods, have be-
come a menace to crops and control
is required. Not only does the hunter
aid in the protection of valuable food
crops, but he also augments his own
larder with delicious and nourishing
meat which requires no ration points.
In other sections some species of
wild game have increased within the
last few years to such an extent as
to develop into garden marauders
and grain crop destroyers. Among
these species are pheasants, rabbits
and deer, all providing delectable
and nutritious meat. All have an
aesthetic value. All have an Geo.
nomic value but all must be con-
trolled to maintain the balance of
nature. An oversupply of any type
Of wildlife leads to disease and
defamation of its ranks.
The economic value of wildlife can
be easily understood when figures
from the U. S. Fish and Wildlife serv-
ice are quoted. Edible wildlife taken
during 1912 amounted to 255, 404, 055
pounds of dressed meat.

War a Spur to
Many

To reconvert to the manufacture
Of civilian products, no change Of
machinery or assembly line o
any retooling will be necessary at
the Sheriff. factory. Nor will the
number Of employees have to be re-
duced.
OF course, not many inventors are
endowed with enough business sense
to run plants Of their own. Sheriff.
appears to be an exception. When
he got his first army order, he was
asked when he could deliver how
many compasses. He named the fig-
ure and the day and what is more
he lived up to his promise, which
was more than many manufacturers
with less foresight and more unfore-
seer hurdles have been able to do.
There are other inventors and 9th.
er business men who, like Sheriff.,
have received from war demands
the stimulation which will push them
ahead and carry them through the
breakers Of reconversion. Sheriff.
himself has no technical education.
He calls himself a graduate from a
junkpile. But he can talk with the
scientists and the experts and, what
is more, he makes the pictures he
draws on his drawing board, some
times in the small hours in pajamas
and slippers, work.
He has the typical American in
genuity shared by thousands Of 9TH
ers who helped win the war for us
and who will keep us from losing the
peace.
Recently a listener wrote in with
a suggestion that a fitting memorial
for the late President Roosevelt
could be provided in a manne which
would aid the bond drive. She sug-
gested that If bonds YER contrib
uted for a memorial commensurate
with our sorrow and regret, by the
time these bonds matured we would
be able to buy the most magnif-
icent memorial in the world in honor
Of our greatest President"
Then she concludes: Il am one OF
the many little people who would
gladly contribute a small bond now.
but may not be able to give anything
later"
The psychology Of that suggestion
is interesting. Regardless of what
the purpose of a fund migh. be. what
a splendid way Of raising it and thus
achieving exactly what the govern
ment wishes to achieve by the sale
of bonds: the double purpose of Sc
curing cash to defray wal expenses
and also reducing the amount of in.
dictionary pocket-money.
1t struck me as such a good idea
that I sent it along to Ted Gamble
who is in charge of such matters in
connection with the Seventh War
loan. Next to making suggestions
for selling bonds l suppose one OF
the best things one can do is buy
them. OF course If everybody fol-
lowed that horse-sense plan and
bought, simply for the security OF
their WI future, the treasury
wouldn't need any suggestions.

K Ration Eaten
In Tight Spots
Not Like Home Cooking,
But Keeps Fighters Going

All through the savage Pacific
warfare, from Guadalcanal to the
fighting now taking place in the
home islands around Japan. the
army's famous *" ration has played
a highly important role.
These high-energy pocket size
meals 60 ashore with the first wave
Of troops. They have made it pos
sible for American soldiers to in
wade and hold hostile islands even
though days and weeks may elapse
before the fighting has abated sufi-
GENTLY to allow supply ships to
bring in regular rations and the
necessary kitchen equipment. Ma
rines lived for weeks on TX" rations
in their heroic fight for Gudalcanal.
TX" rations are the front line SOL
diers' combat food, used only under
emergency combat conditions. De-
signed by the army quartermaster
corps in collaboration with leading
food technicians, an army TX" ra-
ton consists Of three meals for one
front line fighting man for one day.
Each meal is packed in a separate
cardboard carton about the size of a
popcorn box and is labeled break
fast, dinner or supper. Total weight
OF the three units is 43 ounces, with
a 3,726 caloric content.
The breakfast unit consists of a can

Wreckers of Fabrics Hunted Down in This Laboratory;
Investigators Pin Crimes on Acids, Drugs. Termites

Holes burned through fabric may
not be caused by a flame. Spilled
drops of medicine may leave a
tablecloth looking as though it had
been sprayed with machine gun bull
lets. A fabric damage that shows up
after laundering may have its origin
on the other side of the Atlantic
or in a u. S. automobile battery.
Even insects have been known to
chew up priced linens.
These and other battling cases of
fabric damage are solved in the sci
entific fabric crime detection lab
oratory of the American Institute of
Laundering. Often the solutions
have much of the mystery and sus-
pense of scientific crime detection.
In a South Carolina laundry, for
example, a naval officers gray uni
form coat was found to have a hole
the size of a half dollar burned
through the left-hand pocket. Since
this could not have happened in the
water-illed w%ashwheel. the laundry
sent the coat for analysis to the In.
stitute textile laboratory.
The burn hole wasn't caused by
a flame, tests revealed. but by the
corrosive action of potassium per-
manganate crystals, the purplish
crystals used for a%ntiseptic pur-
poses. The corrosive action of this
pharmaceutical eats through fabric
and leaves brown stain marks that
look exactly like the charred parti-
cles produced by a flame. The naval
officer was shown the laboratory re-
port, and he recalled having carried
in his pocket the permanganate crys-
tails which had been issued him in
