My friend, Estes Kefauver, MEM
Der of Congress from east Tennessee
has sent me a copy of his new book,
Twentieth Century Congress"
which I have just finished reading
1t is an excellent work and re-
violation of how our highest law
making bodies function. Fearlessly,
Mr.. Kefauver shows how ancient are
some of the practices still carried on
by Congress and gives constructive
program of improving it.. The La
Toilette -Monroney Bill went far to-
wards undermining the House ana
Senate. but more needs to be done
1t is hoped that this book will be in
strumenta1 in doing it.

If you like movies about the Civil
War which gives both sides fairly
you will like "The Prisoner of Shark
Island" Warner Baxter plays the
role of DR.. Samuel Mudd, the sur
geon who treated John Wilkes Booth
after he shot Lincoln, and does a
magnificent job of acting. It is an
intriguing story-its one false point
being an exaggerated impression of
the severity of army courts martial
But this is one picture which is as
fair to the South as it is the North
and is credit to itse producers.

Caponize BOOSTERS With
Synthetic Female Hormone

Development of a new artificial
method of turning roosters into ca
pons which, if approved by the Food
and Drug administration, promises
a large increase in the capon sup
ply, was reported by Maxwell l..
Cooley, chief chemist of General
Mills.
Although the meat of normal full
grown rooster is tougher and less
palatable than that of a hen, the
flesh of capon is both tender and
succulent, Mr.. Cooley pointed out,
but production Of capons has been
limited by the fact that true capon-
izing, or castration, is difficult
and the mortality of the birds is
high.
In artificial caponizing, he ex-
planned, the male chicken is placed
on a diet which contains small
quantity of synthetic female hor-
none. Results may be noticed with
in week or ten days, he said, and
if the diet is continued till the chick
en- reaches the usual marketable
weight of capons, from six to ten
pounds, the bird becomes as fat as
an adult hen and its meat, in favor
and texture, approaches that of a
true capon.

It's Nap, Not Material,
That Makes Blanket Warm

Many of us still believe in the
old idea that if we put enough heavy
blankets over us we will "sleep
warm" in the coldest weather. How
ever, textiles specialists say tests
have shown that warmth does not
depend as much on the weight of the
blanket as it does on the nap of the
material.
Mapped fabrics have the ability
to form a barrier through which
heat does not flow readily. This
makes them warm. A heavy ma
terial without a good nap would
not be as warm as a lighter mapped
material because it would let the
body heat escape more quickly.
Tests also have revealed that the
warmth of new blanket depends
more on the type of nap than on the
fiber content. A new blanket that
was part wool and part rayon was
as warm as one that was 100 per
cent wool. However, tests made aft
er the blankets had been laundered
or used showed quite different re-
suits. Wool fiber will spring back
to its original position in the nap
after being laundered or used. 9th
er fibers do not. This explains why
all-wool blankets or fabrics will keep
their warmth qualities and part-wool
ones will not.

Peruvian Tomatoes

Although the eastern slope of the
Andes in Peru may be the original
home of the tomato, experimenters
at the new lingo Maria station had
more bad luck than good in trying
to grow the crop until they tried out
some greenhouse varieties from the
u. S. and Canada. This station which
was rushed into service during the
war to promote production of such
scarce products as quinine, rubber
and rotenone-is maintained jointly
by the Ministry Of Agriculture of
Peru and the u. S. department of
agriculture. The long time aim in
cludes basic research and the de-
velopment of Complementary crops
that will favor expansion of trade be-
tween the United States and Peru
and other Latin American nations.
The lingo Maria work with toma-
toes was started as an immediate
activity, because of the need for food
crops in developing eastern Peru.
This area never has done well in
supplying itself with food, and has
produced little of commercial value
except lumber.

Demand for ReeSWaX

New uses developed during the
war, plus all the old uses, have
created high demand for bees
wax. The armed services and in
dustry found beeswax extremely
valuable in making protective coat
ings, adhesive tape and other prod
ucts. Recently it has been highly
priced for cosmetic value. There
are many other purposes for which
beeswax was used in prSwar days,
such things as church candles,
honey comb foundations, polishes,
and a host of others. Imports of
beeswax from abroad in 1945 were
almost twice domestic production,
or 100000 pounds. During the first
nine months of 1916, some $4,000
pounds of beeswax was imported.
Before the war, imports totaled
about 4,500, 900 pounds a year Most
of the imported beeswax comes
from Portuguese Guinea, Angola,
Brazil or Madagascar.

Local Governments Act
To End Stream Pollution

Extended programs to curb the
SIS billion gallons of untreated
sewage dumped every day into the
nations waterways are being
launched on the interstate, state and
local level according to the Amer
lean Public Works association.
Stream pollution laws were
strengthened recently in Mississippi,
while in Texas pollution of public
waters has been made a penal Of
fense. Local pollution surveys are
being made in Texas by the state
health department to determine
changes and improvements needed
in city and industrial waste disposal
facilities.
In Oregon, 64 cities now have def
mite plans for new sewage disposal
plants and sewer systems. Bond is
sues for this purpose totaling $l4,-
995, 300 have been voted in 10 Oregon
cities, while 35 cities have accumu-
lated sinking funds for sewage dis
posal totaling $2,324,114.
The Pennsylvania anti-pollution
program is centered on industrial
as well as other urban wastes. The
state health department has ordered
500 cities and institutions and 352
industries to prepare plans for sew
age and waste treatment. Mine
operators and manufacturers are be-
ing required to treat all waste dis
charges. In California, sewage dis
posal construction has highest pri-
ority under 80 million dollar public
works construction legislation ap-
proved in 1916. Massachusetts and
Minnesota strengthened their anti
pollution laws last year, 81 cities in
the latter state having taken action
in 1916 to provide for new sewage
facilities.

ClOgged Drain

When your sink drain becomes
clogged by grease in the pipes, it's
a pretty good bet that your dishes
and pans are not being carefully
scraped before washing, and also
that fats are being wasted. Every
good housekeeper knows that grease
should never be poured into sink
or drain. Some forget, however, to
scrape every bit of fat from frying
pans, platters and plates before
washing dishes. Some of the fat
left over from cooking can be saved
and used again for cooking. Take
the advice of chemists and house
hold equipment specialists of the
department of agriculture, who rec
ommend keeping your sink drain
in good condition by pouring boiling
water down it every few months.
This softens and carries away
clogged grease. Whenever your
drain begins to clog, use boiling wa
ter at once, and pump out the pipe
with a plumbers friend.

Balcony In Asia

The French Indo-China dependency
has been called Frances Balcony
in Asia" Across the South China
sea from the Philippines and Bor-
neo, it has an area greater than that
of Texas. Contrasts mark its phys
ical appearance, froa wild jungle
and lonely mountain regions to the
thickly settled, carefully cultivated
lowlands. A crossroads of the East,
it holds nearly 25,000,000 people,
linked by blood strains and cultures
with their neighbors of both India
and China. To this country of bam-
boo huts and gilded temples, spired
palaces, stiff classical dancers, and
elephant pageants, French admins
traitors transported patches of Euro
pean civilization in the form of mod
ern buildings, roads, schools and
hospitals. In larger cities, such as
Hanoi, the capital, homes, outdoor
cafes, and dress styles followed
Paris ways as closely as time and
conditions would permit.

Right Knife

According to cutlery expert, u.s.
ing the proper size and kind of knife
can save a lot of time and work in
the kitchen. A high-carbon steel
knife is the best buy, he says, for
it is extremely hard, and hollow
ground blade has the best cutting
edge. Carving sets, bread knives
and chopping knives are nice to
have, but not necessary, says the
expert, who states that FIVE knives
are enough. These are: two pairing
knives, one with a point, and one
with spear blade; larger knife,
for cutting vegetables such as cab
bage; a steak knife, and a long fine
ly ground slicing knife. Wooden
handles are preferable to bone for
bone tends to chip.

ON BIASCOUNT

FRESNO, Calf, Sept. 19-The
CLIO Fresh Fruit. Vegetable and

rs, last week filed an affidavit in
Judge Arthur Shephard's superior
court announcing the, ousting of NJ
J. Gillette as president Of the uni

The unions action came in the
midst Of a court hearing on an in
junction requested by the Mendoza
farming corporation of Ensher,
Alexander and Barsoom to enjo,n
picketing of any nature against its
Mendoza harvesting.
Union officials stated that GIL
1ette's stand was not representative

the official had been removed from
office because Of his discriminatory

Gillette was president Of the I'M

Canada Ends Voluntary Repatriation
OF japanese at Government Expense
By KASEY OYAMA
Editor, New Canadian

NEW DENVER, B. c., Sept 19-There will
be no more ships sailing across the Pacific car
rying to Japan, under the Canadian govern
ment's expense people who WISH to go to Japan
voluntarily
The governments plan of voluntary
repatriation of Canadian Japanese to Japan
came to an abrupt end ON Wednesday, Septem-
Der 10, when the Repatriation" trip scheduled
to leave San Francisco on October 3 was sudden
ly cancelled
Baggage of several families scheduled to
leave from this district on the October ship
had been sent to Vancouver but is now being re-
turned to the owners at New Denver at the
governments expense. About AS persons
had applied for passage to Japan ON the sixth
boat.
While this writer has not been able to
reach j. f. MacKinnon, Japanese Division head,
for comment, local Department of Labor offici-
ais express the belief that cancellation is final
and that all persons still wishing to 60 to Japan
must now go at their own expense when pass
age space becomes available.
1t is believed that the termination of the
"repatriation'' policy had been under consider
alton for some time. The official view is that
the Japanese have been given sufficient oppor-
tunity to go to Japan.
The large expense involved in effecting the
transportation to Japan is part of the reason for
the cancellation, especially in view of the fact
that many Canadan-born japanese already "re-
patriated'' are planning to return to Canada.
