Washing tests showed that some
of the washing sudsless solutions
removed soil in dish-washing better
than others with abundant foam.
It isn't the big amount of suds that
does the job!
The cleaning ability of any de-
tergent depends largely on two
qualities; first, how we'll it dissolv-
es soil, and second, how much it
aids water in getting the soiled ar
ticles wet so that the dirt can be
carried away quickly and thorough
ly. Water alone cannot wet mater
ials as we'll as water containing
soap or other detergents. Thus, one
test of good detergent ishow
much it increases the ''wetting
power" of water.
The value of any soap, detergent
or other cleaning compound should
be judged by how it cleans, not by
how it foams or suds. Foam is an
attractive and pleasant character
istic but it is not the guide to clean
ing effectiveness.
A report from New York State
Experiment Station adds that the
synthetic detergents are not sanl-
Tiers but simply soil removers and
therefore cannot be counted on for
germicidal value.

This Years Meat Supply

AS of the early part of March, retail meat prices
in the Chicago area, which are generally typical
OF the country as a whole, down an average
OF 20 per cent below last summers peak levels
Some popular cuts down much more-round
steak for instance, being offered at 30 per
cent less than at the high point
Supply and demand did that A heavy supply
Of meat came to market and at the same time
there was some slackening in consumer buying
The meat had to be moved and lower prices were
the inevitable result. AS an interesting by-product
Of the change, one of the biggest meat packers
took substantial operating loss for 194S
At present, there has been something Of a re-
versal in the trend Of livestock supplies and lrices
are expected to level out. However, no one need
fear meat shortage. Last year. the average
American at 146 pounds Of meat. This year. it is
estimated. he will account for 145, made up of SO
pounds of beef, pounds of veal, u pounds of
pork, and a pounds of lamb and mutton. A decline
in available supplies Of beef, veal lamb and NUT
ton will be made up by increase in the amount
of pork.
The american dining table will continue to carry
its share of the good things of life and meat is
one Of them The price must pay, when mea-
sured against the average increase in dollar in
come, will be fair and reasonable.

When Incentive Is Small

1t seems to be automatic that the greater the
degree of specialization government domination
of public health measures the fewer practitioners
there to do the work.
Thus, according to Time, Russia has but one
detist for $4,000 people-and Russia marks the
ultimate in specialization Of all phases Of medicine
Britain, which has gone long way toward COM
plete socalization has one dentist for each 327E
people. The United States with it's tradition of
lation
Various reasons account for this condition. One
very obvious one is that in country where
bureaucracy runs the show, there is little incen
tive for men and to gothrough the ardu-
schooling necessary to become doctor a
dentist. The financial regards, even for the most
brilliant and Woodworking, severely limited by
the state. Opportunity for research is small and
medical men must deal with of forms and
other red tape. which demands hours that should
be given to their patients. And, Inevitably, ad.
vancement goes mt to the most competent, but to
those who are best able to curry favor with the
political administrators, who gain seniority
through the merefact of age.
Americans standards Of health, far superior as
they are to those of Russia or England, provide
the mot persuasive argument for the retention of
Russia or England, provide the most persuasive
argument for the retention of medical freedom
And yet there is well oiled Federal pro-
gram to put American medicine the skids to-
ward the Russian and European pattern

Plenty Of Cars In Czechoslovakia

which is about $500. The sum represents 80

Destroying The Highways

Every motorist has personally seen the damage
done 10 our highways by heavy commercial We
hicleS. He has also personally paid part of the
bill for maintenance and repairs through higher
taxes than would have otherwise been necessary
Thomas H. Macdonald Commissioner of Public
Roads, recently said, eff we accept the principle
that highways are provided to serve the pubic's
interest whole, it reasonably follows that the
cost of building and maintaining them must be
held at the level of true economy. This involves the
limitation of axle and wheel loads to those for
which the highways are designed. The highway
user does not wish to pay for new highways
to replace those destroyed by excessively heavy
loads =, The heavy truck operator is or should
held accountable for whatever damage these
trucks do :"
What makes this particularly important is the
dendency of states to legalize heavier and heavier
