'Find Method ofSaving Beauty

Delicately Tinted FlowersMay Be Preserved in

Natural Colors.

WASHINGTON. — A process 'bywhich the most delicately tintedWildflower or -rainbow hueJ .crusta-cean may ;be preserved Indefinitelyin its natural color has been de-veloped by ;an agricultural iSepart-ment scientist 4® Washington, ID. C.,and specimens are now on displayat the national museum.

This preservation method, createdby G. R. Fessenden, specialist inplant preservation, Is the "first timethe fugitive colors to nature ha«r«ebeen preserved," according to Dr.Waldo Schmitt, head curator of bi-ology at the museum.

Until now. scientists using alcoholas a preservative have contendedwith faded, yellowed, and often dis-torted specimens, many of whichwould disintegrate at the slightestjar. There was no way to depictfaithfully the color of a flower, theeffects of plant diseases, or the rav-ages of pests, because the ordinarypreserved specimen is brown ardiscolored. Color photographs ©rpaintings were the only means otreproducing nature's colors.

Stay Fresh Looking.Preserved by the Fessenden proc-

ess, a cross-section of a strawberryremains red and fresh looking. Au-tumn leaves retain their incompar-able colors, a tiny, brightly col-ored hermit crab looks just as itdid when picked up at the seashoreIn 1939, and a plague ravaged al-falfa leaf shows its wounds inmeticulous detail, in clear plasticcases safe from dust, mildew, in-sects, or mechanical injury.

The process begins with the useof a mild preservative in concen-trated form, Mr. Fessenden ex-plained. The fresh specimen mayeither be treated by putting it intothe preserving fluid while still freshor it may be pressed carefully anddried before the preservative is ap-plied. It is cured, preferably underrefrigeration, so plant enzymes maybe rendered inactive.

The specimen is then dehydratedby the use of a desciccant, or dry-ing agent, to remove any remainingwater. Then it is put into its finalmount by encasing it betweenplates of moisture resistant plastic.

Keep Indefinitely."Indications are," says Mr. Fes-

senden, who began work on theprocess in 1928, "that when sealedinto the plastic in such a way thatall 'free moisture' is excluded, pre-served specimens will retain their :appearance indefinitely under indoorlighting conditions."

The success of the Fessendenmethod opens many possibilities forthe future. Science professors maydemonstrate to their students byactual example the findings of thepast. County agents may showfarmers precisely how to recognizethe beginnings of costly and dan-'gerous crop plagues in time to avertthem. A rare or unique orchid oreven a goldfish may be preserved inits original beauty for posterity. '

A poison ivy leaf, preserved in its'disarmingly bright garb, will serveto educate nature lovers who un-wittingly gather the treacherousfoliage to enhance their wild bou-quets.", . '.

Chemical in Tissue Actsi Like Figurative Match, HSW YOR5, N, y, - A chemicajWhich acts like a figurative matchto start the fire of fever in a livingbody has been discovered at theFearing research laboratory, Brook-,line, Mass.

The chemical is called pyrexin,from the Greek word meaning fire.

Exudates of inflamed tissues fromhuman beings, inoculated into a rab-bit's ears, raised their temperaturesabout two and a half degrees, Fahr-enheit. The pyrexin chemical is ob-tained from the protein portion ofinflamed tissue discharges.

Whether fevers of all kinds maybe due to this body fire lighter isnot yet clear.

Use Want Ad in SearchFor Grandparents for KidPITTSBURGH. — A four-year-old

boy came in from play one day andsaid to his mother:

"Mommy, why can't you buy usa grandpa? Other boys have them."

The question, put to a motherwhose parents and whose husband'sparents are dead, led recently tothis ad in a Pittsburgh newspaper:

"Wanted: Lonely older couple toact as grandmother and grand-father to a little boy past four andhis little brother past two, who haveno grandparents. We believe thisarrangement will bring added hap-piness to all concerned."

Say New'Safety* FlakIs Used by Germans

LONDON. — The Germans areusing a new type of self-destroyinganti-aircraft ammunition, RAF Ty-phoon pilots reported.

The ammunition explodes in theair if it fails to find a target withina certain range, they said. It wasencountered during an aerial scrapover Germany and was apparentlydesigned to destroy itself in theair in order not to cause damageby tailing to the ground.

Thrifty LunchesUse

Potatoes &re easily creanxed ifthey are cooked first, seasoned withonion and fchen blended togetherwith smooth, tasty soar cream.

When points are low and luncheonpresents itself, most of us are in aquandary . Arethere foods toserve that arepoint-free and ap-petizing? Yes,there are, andI'm giving youseveral sugges-tions today which will make, lunch-eons an easy matter to prepare.

I'd suggest that you make use ofas many soups as possible for thismid-day meal. Use canned or de-hydrated soups, if you're rushed fortime. If you have bits of leftovervegetables, puree or dice them fineand add to a thin white sauce.

Hearty sandwiches go well withsoups. You'll like cottage cheese,liver sausage, eggs and peanut but-ter combinations. A bit of crunchycelery will provide vitamins andminerals or crispy salads will addtexture contrast to the bowl of soupand sandwich luncheon.

If the men folk come home forlunch and expect heartier fare, thereis the macaroni family which youcan put to good use. Use fresh orhome-canned vegetables for flavorand color contrast with spaghetti,noodles and macaroni, add a well-seasoned sauce, and luncheon is allready to be served.

This noodle platter with vegeta-bles sells itself as soon as it arrivesat the table:

Egg Noodles With Baked Onionsand Lima Beans.

Macaroni and mushrooms are thebasis for this flavorful dish:

An unusual but delicious combina-tion is this one which uses bakedpotato with shrimps:*Baked Potato Stuffed With Shrimp.

When potatoes are creamed, theyare extraordinarily nutritious. Inthis case, sour cream is used inplace of white sauce, and it's a cap-tivating combination:

Quick Creamed Potatoes.(Serves 6 to 8)

3 cups Idaho potatoes, diced1 small onion, cut fine3 or 4 tablespoons thick sour creamSalt and pepper to tastePlace diced potatoes and onion

into a heavy skillet. Add enoughwater to cover the bottom of thepan, about % inch deep. Cover tight-ly and cook until potatoes are ten-der but not mushy. The water shouldbe nearly all evaporated by thistime. Add the sour cream and stirconstantly until well blended. Sea-son with salt and pepper and serveat once.

An easy-to-prepare meat dish withnoodles uses as vegetables onionsand lima beans. A tomato-cheesesauce adds nourishment and flavor.

Potatoes are again highlighted,this time with salmon in a casserole:

Mend Under LightIn mending, work under a good

light. Take tiny stitches. Work forflatness . . . stitches too tight willpucker, and stitches too loose willpuff. It's usually easier to darnfrom the right side—you can watchthe effect. Steam-press the darn onthe wrong side, and brush lightly onthe right side to lift the nap.

Oil ProductionIn a water-drive field the energy

for moving the oil through the sandinto the weU bore and thence to thesurface is supplied by hydrostaticpressure. In fields of this kind largeamounts of water must inevitably beproduced in order to obtain allof the oil from the sands.

The Farm Produce Co.

That ageless prayer of fighting men and now that anguished prayer of starving

millions must not go-unanswered.

Bread? Yes. Beans? Yes. Michigan beans! Yes.

In untold volume, Michigan beans are answering that prayer now. They must

continue to answer it all through next Winter and Spring. Michigan farmers must

produce beans this Summer if that prayer is not to go unanswered for millions of

human beings liberated by oyr victorious armies, liberated by the supreme sacrifice

of maybe yoyr neighbor's boy.

You ask about the pries? Does it matter if you receive 25 cents more for your beans

than you did last year if yoyr son is fighting in the jungles of a Japanese held island

and his very life may depend on the concentrated ration that your extra bushel of

beans provided. You don't measure human lives or the power to save those lives in

terms of dollars and cents. Neither you nor anyone else eats money.

You ask aboyf the future of Michigan beans. The future depends upon what wa

do now.

if you want to see how modern engineering illumi-nates the streets of a business section, visit progressiveImlay City. In 1938 the 21 old-style lamps on Almont andThird were replaced by 16 pendent luminaires delivering morethan three times the total lumens of the former system.

Since the new lights contain precision-designed reflectors, theydirect light down exactly where it is needed—some on the sidewalk,and lots of it into the road—not info the sky and onto buildings.

The old lights were 10 feet high; the new ones stand 18feet. This helps protect children and ether pedestrians whostep out beyond parked autos at night. The old lights,being Sow, cast large shadows beyond each car; the newones, being higher and suspended outward onbrackets, leave little shadow. All this makesfor safe streets and better business.

How is the street lighting in YOUR community? Ourengineers will gladly discuss a postwar plan now.

Ship LungsThat ships at sea must be ven-

tilated like buildings on land every-body knows, but that they,, mustalso "breathe" while unde4?' con-struction everybody does not know.Every hull on the ways has "lungs"in the form of blowers, sheetmetalpiping and flexible metal hose. A20,000-ton hull for a troopship needsnearly two-thirds of a million cubicfeet of air every hour. Hencejumbo blowers are placed at strate-gic points. Feeder lines from theblowers are tapped at intervals toventilate the hold by means of airhose. All this apparatus and muchpiping must be removed before theship is launched. The engine roomneeds and gets the most attention.

NEW YORK. — The U. S. navyis counting on rockets to providemuch of the punch to knock outboth Nazis and Japs, Capt. G. D.Linke, navy bureau of ordnance, toldthe reconversion congress of Ameri-can industry.

Linke revealed that the navy laiddown its first rocket barrage atTarawa, and that since that timerockets have sharply reduced casu-alties during amphibious landingsby reducing beach defenses torubble. The navy also uses them tosupply the initial impetus for planesto take off with heavy loads on shortlanding strips, he said.

Linke's remarks came as the re-conversion congress—the 49th an-nual meeting of the National As-sociation of Manufacturers—turnedits attention to discussions of post-war industry.

Industry plans a quick reconver-sion when the government gives thesignal. William P. Witherow, presi-dent, Blaw-Knox company, Pitts-burgh, said that 49 per cent of in-dustry will be able to swing overinto full production the day the gov-ernment gives a green light and thatan additional 27 per cent will beable to resume civilian output with-in four weeks. He said 95 per centof all industry can complete recon-version within eight weeks and 76per cent of the firms can reach peakproduction in that period.

Dr. Gustav Egloff, Universal OilProducts company of Chicago, dis-cussing prospective developmentssaid:

"Postwar dwellings will hardlyeeem real when compared with ourpresent homes.

"Developments in synthetic tex-tiles are likely to overshadow oroutmode the products of the silk-worm," he added, saying that tex-tiles are now being woven from ray-on, nylon, rubber, spun glass,woods from wood and soybeans,fibers from milk, casein and metals'.

The latest army list reports atotal of 461,508 casualties, coveringcasualties reported through Novem-ber 15. This was an increase of 58,-984 over the total reported for theperiod through October 14.

Casualty statistics usually lagabout two to three weeks behindthe fighting. This would place theperiod of the ~*58,'000-casualties be-tween the latter part of Septemberand mid-October. During that timethe greatest number of Americanground forces in ^history took thefield in western Europe.

In the same time the AmerjpanFifth army was pushing against theheavily fortified enemy line inItaly, and army troops under Gen-eral MacArthur were movingagainst Jap strong&olds in the south-west Pacific.

Moreover, activity by Americanair forces based in England, in west-ern Europe and in, Italy reached un-precedented proportions at thattime.

Radio Physician CuresPatient Far Over Sea

SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC.— Seaman Elmer Hall of Louis-ville, Ky., fell unconscious recentlyon a ship in the Pacific and therewas no doctor aboard. The radio op*erator called the navy at Honoluluand Lieut. Comdr. Edwin C. Baumof the medical corps was soon at amicrophone and .Hall's symptomshad been described.

"Put a stethoscope over his heartand put the earpieces close to themicrophone," the doctor told themen at the patient's side hundredsof. miles away. His instructions wereobeyed. The doctor listened intently,then said:

"Your man has an asthmatic at-tack. Wrap him in blankets withhot water bottles and give him aninjection of adrenalin chloride. Then;et him to a hospital."Hall has recovered and returned

to duty.

"Let us get an iron broom, andclean up our mess behind our lines,"the bulletin advised.

Farmers in Tuscola county, whoare up against the problem of find-ing help for the .summer months,will be interested in the Emergen-cy Farm Labor program to assistfarmers in getting workers. Nor-ris W. Wilber, county agriculturalagent, says that experienced helpis not available. Non-farm youths,nationally known as Victory FarmVolunteers, are willing and readyto leave their city homes to workand live on a farm where neededthis summer.

Several hundred farmers inMichigan have hired inexperiencedyouths between 14 and 16 years ofage to help during the school vaca-tion period. In most instances thefarmers have been well satisfiedwith* the young workers, as illus-trated by the following case:

Think of the jobs Robert Simsdid on the 180 acre Ernest Engle-hardt farm near Sebewaing, where-dairy products, poultry and sugarbeets were outstanding "crops."This 16 year old boy came fromWoodward avenue, Detroit. Mr.Englehardt maintains that he ex-pected his helper, who had neverbeen on a farm, to get adjustedduring the first two weeks, andthen he found he quickly learnedthe many jobs to be done. Bob wasreally a city lad moved by his de-sire to help the war effort and toget the benefits from a summer inthe country. Edwin Umphrey, Em-ergency Farm Labor Assistant inHuron county, tells that "this Vic-tory Farm Volunteer benefitedgreatly on the farm. He saw thefood actually produced. It gavehim an inside view of farm life incontrast to city life. The VictoryFarm volunteer was without doubtthrilled when he witnessed the in-tricacies of farm life—for exam-ple, the threshing of grain, operat-ing a tractor, and above all seeingthe crops grow from planting toharvesting."

Requests for youth workersshould be "made immediately so asto allow ample time for recruit-ment and selection of the VictoryFarm volunteers. Also, youngworkers will soon have other jobsfor the summer if farmers do notrequest their help. Norris W. Wil-ber asks that farmers place theirorders for boys now. Either phonethe county agricultural agent orcall at his office in the courthousein Caro.

Starting to FarmOn a Shoe String:Is Very Hazardous

It takes more than just capitalx> make a .success in farming, butnoney is a > great help, observesTarl T. Wright, research associatein farm management at MichiganState college.-

As a matter of fact, Mr. Wrightis convinced that anyone contem-plating taking up farming as alivelihood should count his dollarscarefully. Renting or buying theland is only the first step. Afterthat comes the output for machin-ery, livestock -and feed, and sur-plus money for initial operations.

Figuring conservatively, at least$4,000 cash is required to set upbusiness on the average Michigan80-acre farm. That is unless therenter has some arrangementwhereby the landlord furnishessome of the equipment. Under cer-tain lease agreements the land-lord provides the stock and equip-ment and takes two-thirds of thereceipts, with the renter gettingone-third. In such a case the rent-er doesn't need so much capital,but the income is so meager thatit is often difficult to make endsmeet.

The minimum livestock require-ments on any farm are four cowsand three or four heifers soon dueto freshen; one or two sows, andsome chickens. That represents anoutlay of something like $1,000 atpresent prices. Add to that $2,000if horse-drawn machinery andthree horses are bought, or an ad-ditional $500 if a tractor is pur-chased; probably $500 worth offeed to carry animals over to thefirst harvest season, and another$500 as minimum operating ex-penses.

With this in view, Mr. Wrightrecommends that before startingthe farming venture the prospec-tive farmer make a complete list ofall the things that will be neededand the cost. Then he will be inposition to judge whether he hassufficient capital.

"Maybe," said the architect, "butprior to that, order was created outof chaos and that was an architec-tural job."

"But," interrupted the .politician'proudly, "somebody must havecreated the chaos!"

Michigan's sales tax, the goosethat lays the golden egg, was re-sponsible for most of the 1945 leg-islature's deliberations.

How to spend a war-time surplusoccupied a good three-fourths ofthe law-makers' time. If the fi-nance committees of the senate andhouse could have brought in theirrecommendations last Jan. 15,chances are nine to one that legis-lators would have voted promptlyto adjourn in ten days and gohome. The Carr-Ziegler grand jurywas in session less than a blockaway. Examination of the 1945record discloses few bills of majorimport were enacted.

That is not any criticism of astate legislature, as we see it. Itis the job of the legislator to meetthe changing needs of his constitu-ents, and the truth of the matter isthat the big majority of votershave shown little interest in the1945 session and the laws enactedto date affect only a few.

Trying to appraise each bill onits merit and to segregate the ob-vious pressure group bills fromthose of broad public interest, alltakes time. Legislators don't liketo be pushed around; they want toweigh the facts and come to their

iown conclusions. The governor1 must bide his time, too, or else riskwrath of law-makers for trying tobe a dictator and to strong-armmeasures through.

Patience and an abiding faith inthe virtues of democracy are neces-sary traits if one is to bless thestate legislature as a deliberativegovernmental body.

* * *Confronted with the prospect of

a $20-to-25 million melon to slice,each legislator had his own ideaas to how it should be done.

Mayors of large municipalitiescreated a pressure group, which isinevitable under the democraticsystem of government, and lobbiedfor a share. Educators asked for asubstantial boost in state aid,pointing to mounting costs andstatic incomes. Local governments—townships and counties—viewed j

with suspicion the efforts of otherunits to get a larger part of thesales tax dollar.

The result was weeks of confus-ion as pressure groups put the leg-islators on the spot, each sincerelytrying to get more money fromthe bulging coffers at Lansing. Youcan't blame the legislator for go-ing slow. If he incurs the displeas-ure of many voters back home, hemay not return two years fromnow. A four-year term would tendto remove the legislator still morefrom the public's pulse.

* * *To safeguard the $50 million re-

serve fund, previously created bythe state legislature out of currentwar-time surplus revenue, the leg-islature voted to -ear-mark thisamount for postwar use of veter-ans.

This decision increased the pres-sure on the current surplus, esti-mated by Auditor General Morri-son to be in the neighborhood of$20 to $25 millions by July 1, 1945.Governor Kelly announced that theceiling for state appropriationswould be $162 millions. Any spend-ing beyond that point would auto-matically bring a stern veto, anda special session of the legislaturewould follow immediately.

Lawmakers found a solution increating $16 millions in new rev-enues through an increase in thestate's profit on liquor sales and arevision of the state intangible taxand then segregating these fundsfor aid of local governments—mu-nicipalities and counties.

They granted increased state aidto public schools by $6,800,000;granted $500,000 a year to Wayneuniversity and several junior col-

?es for veterans' education;$240,000 for additional state pay-ments for hospitalization of oldage recipients; reimbursements,estimated at $800,000 in the firstyear, for taxes lost through veter-ans' homestead exemptions, andother local aids approximating $25millions.

The effect of the productivesales tax and its resultant annualsurplus may be summed up in thefollowing: The budget for the cur-rent year is $137 millions; the bud-get for next year will be $162miJUons. ,

Soil PreparationAnd Fertilization

Pay Dividends

A S IMPORTANT as in the con-** struction of a home or buildingis the foundation of a Victory gar-den. And the foundation of a suc-cessful garden lies in the properpreparation of the soil.

During late winter or early spring,before the garden plot is spaded orplowed, all coarse plant remainsshould be removed. Remains of

any badly diseased

^ants from \prf;vious crop shouldbe burned. Residuesor crop remainsthat can be workedinto the soil shouldbe spaded under.

great

V S I* Til Rlf temptation when thef 1 w I II II 1 warmer toplow or spade the garden while itis still too wet, in order to get anearly start. This will do more harmthan good. To determine if the soilis dry enough to work, squeeze ahandful tightly into a ball and thenbreak apart with the fingers. If themass crumbles, it is safe to work,but if the soil clings together andcannot readily be broken up it is toowet. If the soil is worked whentoo wet it will become hard andcloddy for weeks or months after-wards.

If manure is not too expensive, itis the best organic matter to workinto your soil, particularly if the soilis very sandy, or heavy with clay.Compost, peat*, leaves or some oth-er such material is especially valu-able for improving the workabilityand productiveness of the soil. Thisorganic matter should be spreadevenly and spaded under. Decayedsawdust is beneficial, but if not welldecayed will retard plant growth byusing up the available soil nitrogen.During periods of fertilizer shortage,sawdust should not be used.

In heayy clay soil, if organic mat-ter is not available, some advantagewill be found in using ashes fromnon-lignite coal. After removal ofCinders and clinkers, the ashesshould be spaded in thoroughly andquantities up to two tons can beworked into an area 30 by 50 feet.Coal ashes have no fertilizing value,but improve workability of heavysoils. Ashes from lignite coal shouldnever be used. Wood ashes havesome fertilizing value, 5 to 7 per centpotash, but should be used sparing-ly. Not over 50 pounds of woodashes should be used on a plot 30by 50 feet.

Garden soils require a largeamount of proper organic matter."Trench" method has proven satis-factory.

Generally, soil should be spaded orplowed to a depth of 8 to 10 inches.The best method of spading, as gen-erally accepted, is to spade acrossthe garcten, throwing out the firstrow of soil. This provides a trenchinto which succeeding spadefulsshould be thrown, covering well allorganic matter in the trench. If dryleaves are used, it is well to sprin-kle them thoroughly with commer-cial fertilizer in the bottom of thetrench. This will aid in their decay,giving them the necessary nitrogen.

The beginner is inclined totake too big a "bite" of soil atone stroke with the result that itis not broken up properly. Small-er spadefuls will aid in shatter-ing the soil, leaving it in a loose,crumbled mass.

Trench MethodProves Beneficial

Too much stress cannot be placedupon the use of barnyard or stablemanures. Cost of obtaining the ma-nure in towns and cities, however,is expensive and therefore the useof commercial fertilizers is especial-ly advisable. On small, intensivelyplanted gardens, fertilizers may besown broadcast and thoroughlyraked into the upper 3 or 4 inchesof soil. It should be well mixed be-fore the seeds are planted. Somegardeners apply fertilizer two inchesto each side of the seed rows anda little deeper than the seed. Applyabout one pound per 25 to 30 feetof row, if they are two feet apart.

The usual method of compostingmanure is to place the requiredquantity in a low, flat pile and turnit once every week or ten days un-til it has been turned three or fourtimes. After the third or fourthturning the manure can be allowedto remain in a flat pile until wantedfor spreading on the garden.

If the manure is dry, water shouldbe added to prevent burning. Wherelarge quantities of manure are usedit is possible to save the finer ma-terial for special sections of the gar-den. Some may be used for coldframes or hot beds.

"Well, here it is Sunday and it'spretty quiet today," writes EdDoerr to his parents, Mr. and Mrs.Herman Doerr. "This Sunday isvery much different from last Sun-day. It was the first of April(Easter Sunday and April Fool'sday) and it was the day we landedon Okinawa. Yes, we were all verybusy that day, and so were theJaps but that old rising sun reallylost its brightness near the end ofthe day. You know the Japs' home-land isn't too far away and theydo like to pay their little socialcalls, but I think they're a littletired of not returning to theirbases. It's very interesting but I'dmuch rather get interested in agood football back in the states.Maybe some day Phil and I bothcan get home together and take insome games. By the way have youheard from Phil lately? I think heis out ,near here some place, buthaven't* seen him yet. Hope one ofthese days we can meet.

I just can't seem to find thingsto write about, but I've got to writeif I want to receive letters and Isure do like to get them so I andmy little dictionary have a lot ofwriting ahead of us.
