NO MONOPOLY IN OIL

It's fashionable nowadays for left
wing writer's and commentators to
refer to 1.-THE oil monopoly" and tie
big oil companies as though to i'm
ply that the oil business is monopolis-
tic or controlled by few.
Nothing could be farther from the
truth, H. H. Hahn, secretary of tie
Nebraska Petroleum Marketers AS
ISOLATION, pointed out recently that
Independent oil jobbers distributed
631a percent of the gasoline, 1872
per cent of the kerosene, 69.7 per
cent of the tractor fuel and 80.6 per
cent of the miscellaneous oil pro-
ducts sold in that state in 1915.

MARYLAND RANKS TENTH IN
DAIRY RECORDS

Mar and ranks tenth among the
states III percentage of dairy cows
under dairy herd Improvement test
ing, with 1851 cows or Sc percent
of all cows in the state entered in Il
associations, according to the July
report of extension dairymen Marvin
h. Seneer and Ralph Porterfield.
Nationally, only 2.3 percent of the
27.5 million dairy cows are under
DHIA test.
This year marks TIE 35th anniver-
sary of the DHIA testing in Mary
land, and the 40th anniversary of the
first dairy herd improvement testing
in the country, they pointed out. A
comparison of average butterfat pro-
duction in tested cows of Maryland
shows an increase of AZ pounds per
COW in the 10 years between 1925
and 1914, when statewide and nation
wide figures were compiled. By 1914,
the average Maryland DIliA dairy
COW produced 319 pounds of butter
fat year, compared to the state av
erage for all dairy COWS Ct 1875 lbs,
and the national aveagre of 1875.
While not all this improvement in
production can be attributed to dairy
records, the Maryland extension
dairy men pointed out, nevertheless
muck of it is due to the culling of
poor cows and the better feeding and
breeding of good cows which has
been made possible by the DHIA
records.
The summary of dairy herd i'm
provement work in the state also
showed that farmers have been de-
manding more records for their
nerds, but the shortage of trained
dairy testers has slowed the forma
ton of additional herd improvement
associations. Several new associa
tions are expected to start in August
following TIE completion of dairy
testers school at the University of
Maryland.

1048 In High Gear

Reports from all sections of the
country indicate that State gasoline
tax collections are running higher
than ever before-higher, even, than
1941, the previous peak year. Ne
braska, for instance, reports a mil
lion and a quarter dollars gain for
the first six months of the current
year over the same period of 1871.
Indiana's collections have jumped a
half million dollars during the same
period and for the fiscal year just
ended, Iowa's receipts were million
dollars greater than her previous
record year of 194142.
Add to these record collections a
billion and half dollars being made
available to the States under the
Federal aid highway act of 1914 and
we find highway departments all over
tie country with more money to
finance roads than ever before
dreamed of-more, actually, than
many OF them are able to spend judi
ciously
This amazing record is being chalk
ed up despite fewer and older cars,
and is due largely to release of the
pentup desires of motorists who for
four war-weary years have waited for
the chacne to once again say "fll 'er
up" to service station attendants
throughout the land.
But more gratifying than the in
formation that funds are now avail
able to provide for the highway user
all the roads he can conceivably use
is the fact that these soaring collec-
tions demonstrate perhaps more than
any other single factor in our transit

lea through the by-ways that lead to

MORE AND BETTER FOOD

Comparison of food consumption in
the United States during World War
ii with that during World War l in
dicates, says the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, that civilian consump-
ton per person average 10 to Is per
cent higher in 1912 to 1945 than in
1917 and 1918. The average diet dur
ing World War ii was also much
better from the standpoint of nutri-
tive content than it was in 1917 and
1918.
In contrast, Continental Europe,
according to a midsummer summary
by the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies, is passing through a serious
food crisis. Unusually adverse wea-
Their, coupled with war-caused dislo-
cations of agriculture, cut production
in 194546 to the lowest point in
many years, and-taking continental
Europe as a whole-consumptio in
1945-46 fell to around 80 per cent of
prewar. Although food production in
Continental Europe in 1946-47 is ex-
pected to improve over 1856, any
real improvement in consumption is
dependent upon maintenance of food
imports close to the level of 1945-46

SPEAR A SPUD

Use of potatoes in summer meals is
urged by nutrition and marketing
specialists of the Maryland Extension
Service, together with Mr.. Joseph H.
Blandford, state director of the Pro-
duction and Marketing Administra-
ton of the u S. Department of Agri-
culture, in pointing to the 1916 all
time record high production of 10
million bushels of early white pOta-
toes.
Potatoes are not only low in cost
per pound, as reported by Russell c..
Halves, Maryland marketing special
list, but they are also good value for
contain, as reported by the extension
nutritionist, Miss Margaret McPheet-
ers. The supply will remain abundant
all summer, as far as market sup
plies can be anticipated, due to the
large acreage and unusually heavy
yields.
Every consumer can have all the
potatoes he wants, advised Mr.. Bland
ford, in pointing out that domestic
markets are the best adapted to use
of the bumper spud crop. Potatoes
are too bulky and perishable to skip
overseas, and the cost of drying the
potatoes is too great to make it prac-
teal. At present potatoes are so plen-
tiful that some are being made into
alcohol, as substitute for grain, of
which distillers are only allowed
limited supply, due to world food
shortage. The Maryland crop, like
that of other Atlantic states, is at
peak of market supply now.
Miss McPheeters pointed out that
summer salads and cold dishes are a
good way to use potatoes for lunches,
suppers and picnics. At the same

THE SLUMP IN MOTOR
PRODUCTION

Before the labor chiefs started
turning the automobile industry up
side down there was tremendous
untitled market that indicated be-
tween 100000 and 5 million cars
would be made n1946. That volume
of production would keep the wheels
rolling throughout the country. Then
came a terrific wave of strikes. When
the automobile strikes began to ease
up there were steel strikes, coal
strikes and other styles of strikes
that stopped the flow of raw mater
ials tt automobile manufacturers
and other industrial groups were I'M
able to resume operations.
Instead of. the automobile industry
getting back into full production the
probabilities are that not more than
3 million cars and trucks will come
off the line in 1916. The rate of pre-
sent production will likely increase
and thereby take up some of the
slack of the first half of the year
Nevertheless, the National News
dustry figures that it will be lucky
to porduce 100000 passenger cars
and 100000 trucks in the last half
of this year" And looking ahead, the
same publication observes: Instead
Of 6 million cars and trucks for 1947,

VICTORY DAY DREAMS

August IA, 1916, is the first ami
yersary of Victory Day. One year ago
with the firing of the last shot IN the
far Pacific the great and tragic drama
of World War ii ended. America, to-
sether with her Allies, were on the
brink of a new and shining era, an
era in which the common man would
once again be able to forge his own
destiny in the constructive, free at
mospkere of peace.
The last shackle of tyranny which
the unholy alliance of Nazism, Ease
ism and Nipponism had visited upon
the World for almost decade was
completely and finally broken that
August IA. More than 100000 Amer
icanus had given their lives to break
it, The signs in the sky pointed to un-
paralel!ed opportunity, prosperity
and achievement Hadn't America
pioneered the building of World or
sanization which would prohibit the
resugrence of such tyranny for now
and for all time?
Twelve crucial months have pass
ed. They were months of admirable
effort, here at home and abroad, to
save the promise of peace while affect
ing recovery from the dislocation OF
war. They were also months of major
Illustration in which the ancient enc
mics of man, greed, selfishness and
pride, released from their wartime,
impotence, emerged into an alarming
peril to peace. In the pell-mell race
for. the fruits of victory and the
blessings of peace in which the black
makret operator and the imperialis-
tic nation have been co-sinners man
has jeopardized his chances of at
tanning either goal.

HOT WEATHER

although Marylands heat and

especial precautions are necessary
for those doing active work outdoors

haustion should occur physician

sunstroke, or heat stroke, the onset
is usually sudden and the victim be-

FIRE CONSCIOUS

1t generally takes disaster to bring
action against negligence. This is
particularly true in, the case of fire
prevention. Even in big cities where
it is doubly important to observe fire
regulations, fire safety provisions are
violated constantly. When a disas-
trous fire hits one of the big cities in
the nation, there is a feverish at
tempt to reduce potential fire haz-
ards.
New York City is carrying on two
separate inspections in an effort to
avoid a repetition of disasters such
as occurred in Illinois, Iowa, and
Texas hotels. One, to examine each
hotel and file appropriate remedial
orders where it is found necessary to
have additional exits, or enclose stair
wells and elevator shafts. The other
is to Enforce compliance with fire
prevention measures and laws. 1t will
report violations such as illegal cook
ing, illegal alterations, blocking of
exit stairs and fire towers, defective
fire scapes, accumulations of refuse,
and other fire hazards. After this
double-barreled inspection is compile
ted, recommendation will be made
for improved laws and regulations to
eliminate sub-standard design and
construction.
The country is taking fire proven
ton seriously for while. Every city
and hamlet can cooperate and pre-
vent disaster that brings ruin and
death without warning.

SCHOOL LUNCHES

Improved meals for many Mary
land school children should result
from the passage of the school lunch
law by Congress, to provide perma-
nent program to assure adequate
nourishing food to Sabotage child
rem, said JOSEF Hh. Blandford, State
PIMA Director.
This year, he said, $50 Maryland
communities received Federal assist
ance in serving midday meals to
children. About $1,000 children in
the State, many of whom would other
wise have had small lunches or none
at all, were given well-balanced
meals to provide a third or more of
their daily food needs.
Further teamwork of school auth
critics and local public spirited spon-
sors of the school lunches with the
Department of Agriculture, Mr..
Blandf,. I'd advised, can do much to
improve the health and well-being of
our growing generation at the same
time that good use is made of many
perishable foods in seasons of local
abundance.
The new law, he pointed out, calls
for increased state contributions
though the program will start with
Federal Funds matching state funds.
The plan also provides for school
lunches in non-profit private schools
and parochial schools, and permits
use of a specified amount of money
for essential equipment other than
food.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS

During the late summer, parents
hearts, of infantile paralysis, or, as
it is often called, polio. Epidemics of
the disease are most apt to break out
from June to September. In this coun
try, the disease reaches it's peak in
the latter month.
Infantile paralysis is feaerd, not
only because of the deaths 1t causes
many other diseases take more
lives-but because it so frequently
leaves it's victims crippled for lifeand
because little is known about the
virus which causes the disease. There
fore, few preventive measures can be
taken against it.
Infantile paralysis is caused by a
virus 50 small it cannot be seen
through the most powerful micro
ton or cure has been discovered.
There have, however, been advances
in treatment. This, with the creation
of additional facilities for aiding the
victims recovery, has done much to
allay fear of the disease.
Although its name would seem to
indicate that infantile paralysis
strikes only yougn children, this is by
no means true. 1t may attack older
| age groups, even adults, and may
cripple them as well as young child
rem.
Panic never cured a disease or pre-
vented its spread. If there is danger

parents and public officials should
keep calm Ike National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis, through its
national office in New York and

assist communities where outbreaks
occur and to help individuals who
get the disease.
The Foundation emphasizes that
although there is no known cure fol
polio, quick action may prevent Grip
ping, and urges that medical advice
be sought Immediately if polio is sus
pected. The first symptoms are Otter
a headache, unexplained fever, colo
or an upset stomach. If any of these
symptoms appear, doctor should be
called.

apt to get the disease than those who
get sufficient rest. Chills may weaker
