There is a vast realm of discov-
ery of which the public as yet
(knows nothing. There is a petrol-
eusm synthetic for example, that
is effective for its purpose even
when diluted in a ration of one
piart in 100,000,000; it is handled
in a “concentrate” of .01 percent.
The future will see 100,000-mile
tires, 20,000-mile lubricating oil,
50 to 70-mile-to-the-giallon gaso-
line, and ,s>ealejd! cooling systems
wilth petroluemHproduet liquids in
both cars and planes.
This coutry has just begun to
grow. Individual initiative is in-
separable from the American type
of government. They have barely
begun to flex their muscles. If the.
way is kept clear, they will make
the past seem puny by coparison
with t|he future. The way for fu-
ture achievements can be kept
clear only by a steadfast resolu-
tion that in this country govern-
mnst not be the competitor of pri-
vate enterprise.
Characterizing the tremendous
over-subscription to the drive a,s
“the most successful money-rais-
ing Camjpaign ever conducted in
the U. S. A. or anywhere else,”
Mr. R. R. Gilbert, president of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas
and Chairman of the War Finance
Committee of the district said the
unprecedented over-subscription
by non-bank investors made the
drive a “great victory on the fin-
ancial front almost as vital as a
great victory on the military
front.” He said, “it helps us to
win at home as well as abroad and
at the same time helps us to assure
ourselves and our fighting sons
thait a firm financial foundation is
preserved for the terrific recon-
struction job in the days of peace
to come.
“A large share of the credit for
making Americans aware of the
need for putting their money di-
rectly to work in War Bonds as a
means of combating inflation,
must go to our newspapers,” Mr.
Gilbert, said. “In the 2nd War
Loan Drive they (the newspapers)
not only conducted a sustained ed-
ucational Campaign in their edi-
torials, news columns and in ad-
vertisements sponsored and paid
for at their solicitation by public-
spirited advertisers, but they also
explained the need for non-bank
investment so clearly and in such
detail that the advertising, public-
ity and saleswork of volunteer
salespeople, radio stations, poster-
advertising, motion picture theat-
res and every other sales auxiliary
was made most effective.”
As a result of the excellent pub-
licity and sales campaign conduct-
ed in the district, Mr. Gilbert re-
ported that according to U. S.
Treasury latest figures sales to in-
dividuals, partnerships and perso-
nal trust accounts exeeded the
district’s goal for these buyers by
99 percent, giving the Dallas dis-
trict first place among all 12 Fed-
eral Reserve Districts in percent-
age of sales made to these types of
buyers in excess of goal.
Of 69 different (branches of in-
dustry listed; in a recent economic
bulletin issued by the National Ci-
ty Bank of New York, 64-earned
as large or larger ratio of return
last year than the railroads. Air
transport companies earned 22.4
per cent, aircraft manufacturers
45 per cent and eip-ht other groups
(including drugs and soap, soft
drinks, machinery, auto equip-
ment, shipbuilding and contrac-
tion) earned more than 15 per
cent. The railroads earned 5.56 per
cent in 1942, and had just passed
through a thirteen year period
(1930-1942 inclusinve) in which
their annual rate of earnings on
investment had averaged only 2.50
per cent. On this record, there is
no reasonable basis for assump-
tion that the railroads are enjoy-
ing relatively high net earnings
now, particularly when the tre-
mendously increased volume of
service being performed by the
railroads is considered.

Meat Alternates
\4’EAT alternates really need no
introduction. You know them
well: poultry, fish, milk, cheese,
eggs, dried peas, beans, nut meats,
whole grain cer-
eal and flour.
But simply be-
cause those are
old familiar foods
in the daily menu,
we face a few
stubborn facts
when we cast
them in their new
role of meat al-
ternates.
No one food
can do two
health - building
jobs at once. So
the milk, eggs, bread and so forth
that are already part of your daily
menu pattern do not rate as meat
alternates unless you serve an
extra portion.
Not only that, but the size of
portions of meat alternates must
be at least doubled to equal the
food value in an average serving
of meat, which is very impractical
for ordinary menu purposes. Luck-
ily, though, you can solve the prob-
lem either one of two ways on
meatless days: (1) Serve two meat
alternates & day — one for lunch,
Mrs. Kiene
one for dinner, and if possible,
make one of them a first class pro-
tein. (2) Spread meat alternates
over all three meals—for example,
an extra large portion of cooked
cereal for breakfast; a generous
serving of cheese with salad for
lunch; beans plus a custard for
dinner.
A parting reminder—eggs, milk,
cheese, fish and poultry are first
class proteins and therefore are
the best substitutes for meat. The
other “alternates” are not rich
enough in protein to be used con-
sistently if you can possibly
help it.

require dto account for the ration-
J ed foods you’ve purhased and to
j surrender the excess stamps you
have on hand, Miss Bryant says.
She suggests that farm homemak-
ers will need to do some simple
bookkeeping to keep these matters
straight.
What’ll help, too, will be to
raise and conserve on the farm
every possible 'bit of food. That’ll
make feeding hungry hands much
simpler and cheaper than if you
buy scarce foods.
INDISPENSIBLE EMPLOYES
Employes in no industry are
more essential than those in oil.
Every engine of War that moves
today depends onn this product
to put life into it..
Unspe'etacular jobs in the chem-
ical laboratories and refining units
of the oil industry are often the
ones on which the future of war

the end of the period in wmich a
current war ration shoe stamp is
valid unless they receive the shoe
ration stamp in advance, the OPA
has announced. Another amend-
ment provides that house slippers
and moccasins designed for indoor
transportaion depends.
Constantly improved high-test
gasoline and oils cannot be made
by amateurs ,any more than can
our tanks and planes and ships be
operated successfully by untrain-
ed man. It would be impossible to
say which is the most important,
armjament or oil, one would be use- tse only are not rationed,
less without the other.
To illustrate: “If 1,000 two-en-
gined allied bombers raid only 400
miles info Europe from Eengland,
they will use more than 400,000
gallons of aviation fuel, not count-
ing any used! by fighter plane es-
cort,” according to William R.
Boyd, Jr., hairman of the Petro-
leum Industry War Council.
The oil industry has been able
to meet the tremendous load
thrown upon it by present abnor-
mal conditions, as part of its days
work.

excusable. They slow down the
war'effort for more than most of
us realize. When a home is de-
stroyed by fire, or or more persons
lives, if not iterrupted pennantly
by death, are inevitably interrup-
ted for a measurable period while
a residence is being re-established.
Fire prevention is of the great-
est importance. The busiest war
worker can find time for a thor-1'
ough cleaning of his premises.
Preventable fires which destroy
irreplaeable property to say no-
thing of human life, rc uttterly in-
Early each summer, communi-
ties throughout the nation conduct
fire prevention clean-up cam-
paigns. No estimate* can be made
of the cash value represented by
rty of life and pr opexvese-niyp b
the saving of life and the improve-
ment of health and property re-
sulting from these annual cam-
paigns. They remove disease-
breeding conditions which might
cause pestilence, in addition to e-
liminating fire hazards which
result in conflagrations.
Removing rubbish may not be
as spectacular as catching a sabo-
teur, but the beneficial result is
the same. A fire is a fire no mat-
ter how it started. If, through
stupidness and neglect on the part
of otherwise patriotic citizens,
valuable property is destroyed, it
simply means that the saboteur
can rest- in his lair with a cynical
chuckle.
Sugar for home canning will be
limited to one pound for each four
quarts (or eight pounds) of the
finished product and may be se-
cured on written application {to
the housewife’s local boarld1. Each
person is allowed not more than
25 pounds. Any family can apply
for sugar for jams, jellies, and
preserves alt the rate of five tbs.
per person. Last year, sugar for
preserves Avas limited to one per-
ton per pound.
Livestock and poultry raisers
are urged to conserve livestock
feeds, especially those of high-
protein content, by the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture. Feed
anufaetures are roluntarily limit-
ing the proportions of proteins in
various types of feeds, and farm-
ers or ranchmen who mix their
own are asked to do likeAvise. They
are also requested to conserve
purchased! proteins by liberal feed-
ing of grain and nutritious rough-
age. Poultrymen are advised to
make no further expansions in
commercial broiler production, to
maintain & balance between feed
and feed needs.
Never before has the adage a-
bout an ounce of prevention been
truer than noAV. Many sections of
the country are almost devoid of
medical service and the shortage
will grow as the armed forces in-
crease. The American Red Cross
is now conducting a recruiting
program to enlist 36,000 graduate
nurses for the Armiy and Navy
Nurse Corps this year. This means
a further drain on,the supply of
nurses. Wives and mothers of the
country can anldl must learn to car-
ry much of the home load.
To help these Avives and moth-
ers meet their problems, the Red
Cross is accelerating its program
in home nursing. Courses are be-
ing offered biy thousands of chap-
ters.
The Red Cross Home Nursing
course originated in 1908 with
Miss Mabel Boardman, then, as
now, secretary of the American
National Red Cross. The first text-
book, from which the present one
stemmed, was written by Miss
Jane Delano, the first director of
Red Cross Nursing, in collabora-
tion Avith the Chief of the Army
Nurses Corps and came into use
just as the first World War
brought its great demand for
knowledge in prevention of dis-
ease and home care of the sick.

age rations exceeding 240 monthlv
