Need To Get Together

AS anticipated, and frankly fore
cast in many quarters, including these
columns, Congress is in a bitter fight
over labor legislation. The longer the
battle continues the more apparent It
becomes that agreement on a bill which
President Truman will sign is unlikely.
The need, then, would seem to be
for Mr.. Truman to call leaders in both
Senate and House chiefly concerned
in this legislation to the White House
and by threshing out the subject Joint
ly seek a common ground action on
Capitol Hill and at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue.
If nothing is done to bring the legis-
lative and executive branches togeth-
or it is all too likely that we will have
no labor legislation, to correct the faul-
ty acts not in existence or place ade-
ouate but fair controls over labor, with

THE WATER in the long leg of
the tube is like a heavy weight, and
the water in the short one is like
a small weight. Unless air gets
into the tube of your siphon, the
effect is just as if the heavy
column of water were tied to the
lighter column. The heavy col
umn falls down and sucks up the
lighter column.
Put a water-filled tumbler on
some books on a table, and put
an empty tumbler alongside IA e
books, as shown in the drawing,
so that it is lower than the one
holding water.
Put the end of the rubber tubing
into the glass with water. Let it
so down in the water. Now put
the other end of the tubing into
your mouth, and suck some Of the
water up. When the tubing is full
of water, squeeze the end of the
tube which you have in your
mouth. Take it between your fin.
ger and thumb, still keeping the
other end of the tubing below the
surface of the water in the high
tumbler. The part of the tubing
dangling over the side Of the full
tsmbler should be longer than the
part inside the full tumbler.

Now if you take away your fin
gers, thereby letting the lower end
of the tubing open, the water will
begin to flow, and will continue
to flow until the high tunbler is
empty, or until the water in the
high tumbler is below the end of
the tubing up which the water has
been flowing. You have made
what is called a siphon - not the
kind that holds soda waite flor

what men of science and engi-
neers call a siphon

a penny rise up in water.
Put a saucer on a table and put
a penny in the middle of it, as
shown in the second picture. Now
get someone to look at it. A k
him to sit a little lower until the
penny is just hidden by the rim
of the saucer. He will then see
the saucer but not the penny.
Now, while your friend sits still,
pour water into the saucer Do it
very steadily so as not to spill the
water. The penny will come into
sight. 1t does not really rise. 1t is
the water that makes it seem to
do SO, as explained in the caption

The Egg And You

want 40 pounds more meat per
person per year, 200 pounds more
milk, nine pounds more chicken,
40 pounds more canned and fresh
vegetables, 100 pounds more
fruits.
Translating this tremendous ap-
petite into terms of potential de-
mand for farm products leads to
unbelievable conclusions, s a y the
agricultural economists. If all the
American people ate the Same
high-grade diet that the higher
income families eat, the big U. S.
farm acreage would be barely
enough to support the population.
1t takes three acres of land to
support n human being On a
high-class diet. This includes land
l., pasture and in grain for live
stock food. For $50 million people,
it would therefore take $50 million
acres U. S. land under cultivation
today is put at 420 million ceres.
What this all points toward, ac-
cording to Secretary Anderson. is
the need COR more farm production
in the years ahead. Not just in
food products, but in cotton fibers
and forest products as well. Be-
cause it follows that if people with
more money buy more food, they
vii. also wear more clothes and
build more houses.
To get this production ior full
employment, high . income pro-
duction, the farm experts say uses
of the land may have to be
changed somewhat. More sub
marginal land would have to be
planted in trees, to save the land
emo provide more lumber. There
might be more emphasis on liv-
stock farming-more land in hay
and in pasture, which save the
soil instead of e~xhausting it. More
would be planted to cotton, truck
crops, orchards. Less would be
planted to small grains, potatoes
and beans, now the basic food
crops of the poor.
Eventually, by adapting U. S.
land to its best use, it is believed
the country could make continuous
use of $50 million acres-3O mil
lion more than at present-for
support of a growing population
at high levels Of consumption.
Congress will not attempt to
write its new %loag-range farm
policy until next year. The goal
Of it should be "realistic a5un-

WASHINGTON Before the war
average consumption of eggs in
the U. S. was 298 per person per
year. During the war it jumped
to 392-an average of an egg a
day apiece, with an extra egg
every other Sunday. That made
the U. S. the egg-eatingest nation
in history. 1t is all the more re-
markable when contrasted with
egg consumption in Great Britain
where - because of wartime ra-
tjoning-people we're lucky i they
got an egg a month.
Wiseacres all said that Ameri-
cans ate SO many eggs because
they couldn't get enough meat.
Hen fruit consumption was ex-
pected to drop when the war was
over. Even the Department CT Ag-
riculture bet that way. 1t bought
a lot OF cacklc berries on the as
sumption they would be surplus
1t was feared the market would
be glutted, and the price would
g too low.
The way it worked out was that
the American people bought and
ate more eggs than ever before.
The rate for the first three months
was 100 eggs per person - 400 a
year-an egg a DAY with an extra
every Sunday. This in spite of the
fact that there was moro meat
available. Reason for this egglut.
tony was simple. People hao moi
money. They bought more food.
This little story of the triumph
OF the egg Vas buried in a big
long statement which Secretary of
Agriculture Clinton B. Anderson
gave to the House Agricultural
Committee. The committee was
ilquiring into the development of
a new long-range farm program.
Anderson gave his ideas on that
in a detailed seven-point plan. But
the yolk of the whole thing was
in this story of the egg.
The moral of it, as the secre-
tary said, is that when people
who haven't had the food they
want get better incomes. they buy
more food and they also buy the
more expensive food"
Agricultural economists have
made a study Of food-buying hab-
its. People earning $4,000 or more
a year made up 40 per cent of
the population. They got enough
to eat.
The question was, how much
more would the other 60 per cent
of the population buy and eat if
they bought like the 40 per cent.
The answer was that &iey would

THINGS TO MAKE AND DO

For every mystery there is an
explanation. And the more we
know about the true meaning and
the properties of things, the more
mysteries we are able to explain;
and as soon as we can explain
a mystery, it ceases to be one.
Look at your face in a mirror.
Why does the mirror show every
thing in front of it? Because it
has the property of reflection.
Throw this newspaper into the air
and see what happens. 1t falls

not sideways? 1t falls downward
because OF what we call gravi-
tation.

Lone Hand For u. S.

While Undersecretary of S t a t e
Dean Acheson fired a shot heard round
the world in his address before the
Delta Conference in Cleveland, Miss
Iissippi, it is questionable if the right
marksman held the gun.
It had been intended that President
Truman address the Conference, but
cancelled the engagement some time
ago without explanation. In his stead,
it would seem that Secretary of State
Marshall was the proper substitute.
Mr.. Marshall is the Presidents I'M
derstudy in foreign matters. He has
knowledge of the world situation and
the United States position in world
affairs second only to Mr.. Truman.
Furthermore it is both customary
and fitting that the head of a federal
department, not his second in COM
mand, should speak for the govern
ment in his particular field.
However, while it appears a tacti-
cal error was committed in choosing
a. spokesman, it is not to be doubted
that Mr.. Acheson did in actual fact
represent the White House, particu-
larly as concerns the five points he
laid down as the governments intend
ed course toward other nations.
Save for the second, which, pro-
vides for large additional foreign loans,
they are fundamentally sound. Foreign
loans, too, could be condoned, provided
the needs of our own land were not
to suffer through curtailed a%ppropria-
lions by a niggardly Congress. Already
there has been too much whiting of
money required for efficient opera
ton of Americas national business.
of waste and extravaganza
is desirable for the relief of taxpayers,
but it is not sound business principle
to send money abroad when it is needed
at home.
In face of the Big Four's failure to
find common ground for agreement on
the future of Germany, the United
States is justified in determining to
play a lone hand. In including Japan in
this decision the government also seems
to be on the right track.
1t is all right to plan for vastly in
creased exports to lands in sympathy
with our own international views, to the
extend that they can pay for goods
delivered.
1t is right to give stop priority" to
countries seeking to preserve their
democracy and freedom.
1t is right to extend wartime powers
to- control domestic sale, t%ransporta-
ton and ~exportation' of certain COM
modities.
If this had been done while Japan
was fighting China alone, Tokyo war
lords could not have started their war
on this nation. 1t was American scrap
iron and American petroleum that make
the Pearl Harbor attack possible.
The proposal to push ahead" with
reconstruction Of Germany and Japan
alone is reasonable, provided always
both lands are prevented from rearm-
ing. If the United States can guarantee
this, Germany and Japan should have
our aid, whatever the attitude of Rus
STA or other similarly minded govern
ments may be.
The new Truman foreign policy will
have a vital part in the presidential
election next year. It is 1948, rather
than today, that will determine if it

Wood, nationally known outdoor photographer with assignments from several magazines and news papers.
 The group were guests of the Washington State Press Club the evening of their arrival in Seattle, and will fly to Ketchikan by Pan American Clipper. Small toats will take the group northward via Wrangell and Petersburg to Juneau arriving there August 26. A one hour Clipper trip from Juneau September 2, will bring the group to Whitehorse, Y. T. They plan to return to Seattle September 4.
 These Outdoor Writers are men who are devoting their lives and talents to good sportsmanship and proper conservation" Dufresne said.
 They want to see what Alaska has to offer in scenic attractions, and to discover what can be done to promote recreational travel. They want to guard against needless ex- ploitation of the Territory's natur- al resources, and to discover the best methods of perpetuating the fisheries, wildlife and forests"
 Plans for salmon and trout fish ing are shaping up, Dufresne said. Enroute from Ketchikan to Juneau, the party will scatter throughout the famous inland passage, trying their luck at trout fishing, witness ing salmon migrations ana fishery operations.

Forty-five of the nations lead ing writers, photographers and lecturers on sports and game con- servation will fly by Pan American World Airways to Alaska today, for the annual convention of the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
 In one ot the most important tours ever to be staged in the Pacific Northwest, top ranking sports leaders from 31 eastern cities arrived in Seattle by United Air lines Wednesday.
 Armed with fishing gear, cam eras, pad and pencil, they will set out to sample Alaska's famed hunt ing and fishing, as well as it's re- knowned hospitality.
 J. Hammond Brown of Balti- more, Md, outdoor columnist for the News-Post and the Sunday American, and editor of Outdoors Unlimited" is president of the group.
 Frank Dufresne, chief of the Di- vision of Information of the Fish and Wildlife Service and former executive officer of the Alaska Game Commission, is handling the Alaska activities of the group, and flew to the Territory ahead to ar range preliminary details.
