tanks are 10 feet in length with an

the moisture removed before the
preservative is forced into the wood
by literally boiling them in the oil
which causes the water in the wood
to vaporize and flash off. The water
vapors are then condensed and
trapped and a tally made Of the
amount of water removed from the
poles, which indicates the percent
age of moisture content. When this
content is at or near $50 to 800
the poles are considered seasoned.
After the poles are seasoned the

Read This, Men, Before You
Criticize the Wife's Hat

HICA G 20, ILL.-Pause long
enough to read this, fellows, before
you blow your top about the ladies'
bonnetS.
A deliver into history comes up
with the information that men
originated the idea Of wearing hats
for the sake of ornamentation. Spe-
officially, they were ancient Egyp-
tian men. Their crowning glory was
a military type cap made Of stiff
wool. It was a foot and half high.
They wore such hat because it
could be adorned with symbols Of
rank" says J. Morris Jones, man.
aging editor of the World Book en-
cyclopedia. 'These symbols in
cluded the asp for sovereignty, the
lotus for abundance. the feather for
authority. They were the equival-
ent of today's low license number
and identified the wearer as an i'm
portant character.

Only One Per Cent Of Vets
Fail to Repay Home Loans

CHICAGO. - Ninety-nine out Of
every 100 veterans have kept up
their CT home loan payments
promptly, according to a year-end
survey by the United States Savings
and Loan league.
Less than one per cent of the vet
erans' loans made by the $500 saw
ings and loan associations and Co
operative banks comprising the
leagues membership are reported
to be delinquent.
Nine out of 10 Of these associa-
tions report the payment record of
veterans is better than or at least
equal to that of non-veterans, ac-
cording to Ralph M. Smith, West
Somerville. Mass, president of the
league.
Less than one CT loan in every
$50 has resulted in foreclosure, ac-
cording to the Leagues survey.
The total number of families af-
fected was 215 for the whole coun-
try.

Food Thief Turks
In Bean Family

LINCOLN, NEB.-A new kind OF
flood thief has been found lurking
in soybeans, lima beans, black eye
peas, garden beans and peanuts.
This thief is a natural part Of the
raw bean. It can prevent the living
body from properly using proteins,
the foodstuffs essential for health.
It does this by interfering with a
chemical, the engine trypsin,
which splits up proteins so that the
body can use them.
Fortunately, this food thief IL
killed by cooking or heating. But
its discovery, in so many different
common foods, poses a new prob
lem for nutritionists.
It points to possible drawbacks II
humans eat these things raw or If
they are fed in uncooked form to
animals.
Some time ago scientists noticed
that soybeans were better as food
If they were cooked or toasted bit.
Animals eating the cooked beans
grew better than those eating un-
cooked soybean meal. Some SUBJ
stance In the uncooked bean was re-
sponsible.
At the University Of Nebraska ag-
ricultural experiment station, R. M.
Sandstedt and Welden E. Ham
showed that this something was a
chemical that prevented trypsin
from breaking up proteins eff
GENTLY.
The chemical thief could be ex-
tracted from the soybeans, they
showed. When it was added to ami
NAL foods, it slowed down the
growth Of rats, chickens and tur-
keys.

U. S. will Try to Stimulate
Crops With Atom By-Products

WASHINGTON.-The government
has set out to find out whether the
radioactive by-products of atomic
bomb production really will stimu-
late farm crops.
The research will be conducted
by the Agriculture department I'm
der a grant from the atomic energy
commission.
Radio-isotopes from the Oak
Ridge, Tenn, atomic-energy plant
will be used in varying intensities
in fertilizers applied to growing
plants.
AS of now, atomic scientists doubt
that nuclear radiation is capable of
stimulating plant growth to any
thing like the extent suggested in
unconfirmed reports which have ap-
peared in print from time to time.

Son Tries To Evicf Mother
With Noise Making Bull

OTTAWA, ILL. - The appellate
court says farmer Henry Factly,
jr., must not try to evict his aged
mother, Rosa. from his home by
using a noise making bull, an elec-
tric fence and other devices de-
signed to annoy her.
The decision said that Factly:
Tied a bull to tree near the
house and provided the bull a play
thing which caused his mother many
sleepless nights. He tied milk can
to the tree, leaving it suspended in
the air, and placed in it some rocks
80 that when the bull butted the can,
terrific noises would result"
Placed an electric fence across
the driveway, $50 that his unsus-
pecting mother might receive a sud-
den shock"
Caused the water supply to be
shut off.
Chased the chickens from the
chicken house and placed iron pipes
In the weeds near by, $50 that his
mother would stumble and fall over
them"
According to testimony, Henry
Factly, ST., and his wife, Rosa,
decided the "a acre farm to their
son in 1896, and he signed an agree
ment that they could live in the
farmhouse all their lives. The father
died in 1941. Henry. jr., farms the
property but his mother and her
son-in-law and daughter, Mr.. and

When Jerry heard hand NOV

pointed the gun toward the door.
Then it happened-the living
room light was snapped on. He
heard a hoarse cry of surprise.
The mans breathing was heavy
as he stood motionless, facing the
gun. He had a fear that Jerry
could sense was genuine.
"Get 'em up! Who are you and
what do you want?" Jerry was an
officer in the infantry again as he
made the demand.
The man was shaking when he
spoke, you're a cool one, brother.

you hurt somebody" He took
step forward, and Jerry raised the

man, Jerry was not sure of what
he should do next. Then all the
admonitions of his teachers came
back to him: SHOW NO FEAR

U.S.. Forecasts
Price Troubles
For Housewives


ures just released by the federal re-
serve board and the department Of
commerce carry storm warnings for
housewives who are already having
trouble making both ends meet.
The story is just more Of the same
old thing: shortages. We want more
than is being turned out.
The possible dynamite under
prices lies in three new large sums
about to go into circulation: CD
money Saved" because Of lower in
come taxes, CD increased install
ment payments, CD increased de-
fense appropriations.
Taxes have been cut 4.8 billion
dollars. Much of that tax cut went
to working families who are ex-
pected to spend 1t instead Of save
1t.
Americans are expected to go on
the cuff for at least 3.2 billion dol
lars worth of goods this year. They'll
get them through installment buy
ing and through charge accounts.
That's the amount they went on the
cuff for in 1947, and the rate was
rising rapidly at the end of last
year.
That kind Of buying dropped off
through the war because there were
government controls on it, but con-
gress let the controls go in Novem-
ber. Immediately there was an up
surge. n
Funds for the Military
War clouds have forced the gov
ernment to talk of spending more
for the army, navy. and air force.
At first it looked as though the mill
tary services could get along on
$2,250, 704, 300 more this year than
last.
Even so, that would have meant
so much more money competing for
steel, wooden yard goods, leather,
autos. But now there are plans to
increase that by another three bill
lion dollars. r Whether it's two or
five billions that the services have
to spend this year, it's all new
money bidding for what American
farms and factories turn out.
Together those three figures add
up to between 10 and 13 billion dol
lars Of new spending this coming
year, depending on which sum you
bet on for the military.
Prices Skid Down
There have been Hurries Of lower
prices which gave rise to hopes
among the majority Of Americans
that live on weekly pay checks. The
most dramatic was the downward
skid of food prices. It didn't last
long. Most Of those skids started
to climb back up right away.
Anyway, those food prices were
only part of the picture. The i'm
portant figure to consider is how
much money mills around daily
through the stores and banks. It Is
now around % billion dollars. Econ
omists call that money In circula-
ton" Add another 10 billion dollars
to 13 billion dollars and you've got
lot of money bidding for the same
amount Of goods.
All through 1947 the numbers Of
people at work hung close to go mill
lion and their numbers are going
up. So far this year 1,759, 900 more
people were at work than last year.
Business itself was so optimistic
that in 1947 more than 200,0 new
concerns opened shop. During those
IL months only 3,476 concerns failed,
the lowest number since 1871.
