Ladies May Take To
Frozen Cooked Food
Dr. Mary E. Pennington, who is to
receive the Francis P. Garvin medal
at the hundredth anniversary of the
American Chemical Society, sees
housekeeping still further simplified
by freezing cooked dinners and warm-
ing them up when wanted. Such pack-
aged dinners are now served on the
Clipper planes.
Thus it will be possible to cook large
quantities and pack fresh vegetables
and poultry in July and then eat
them during the winter months.

Paint to Make
Planes Invisible _____
Germany charged last week that
England had painted their planes in
such a manner as to make them in-
visible at night. It is claimed that
the searchlights fail to spot the planes
painted with the new type paint. Eng-
land sort of scoffs at the idea and
says that Germany searchlights are
no good. Army men in the U. S., how- dogs provided rare sport for the Rus-
GREYHOUNDS PICTURED ON
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN STONES
Earliest records of dogs include the
greyhound, variations of this breed
being depicted on Egyptian stones.
The Afghan hound and the Saluki are
forms of the greyhound, although
their appearance is somewhat differ-
ent. The Afghan hound is well cov-
ered with hair and the Saluki, noble
in appearance, is distinguished main-
ly by luxuriant feathering.
England has made wide use of
hounds and, although not recognized,
the old hound dog is a familiar sight
in America, writes Edwin McK. John-
son in the Chicago Daily News. Eng-
lish breeds include the Bassett, Bea-
gle, harrier, bloodhound and whippet
—each with its distinct function. With
the exception of the whippet, these
breeds are scent hunters. The whip-
pet, like the greyhound, Saluki, Af-
ghan, Borzois and Irish wolfhound
are primarily sight hunters, running
down quarry by sheer speed and pow-
er rather than by tracking.
The foxhound and harrier are dogs
of the chase. Beagles, too, are used in
packs as are cross-bred hounds.
The Borzois (Russian wolfhound)
is one of the most artistic appearing
breeds, but its background reveals its
original use for tearing wolves to
pieces. Running in packs, these large

Mobilization of Men
And Machines Talked
Last' week the Senate passed the
Conscription bill and sent it to the
House of Representatives where it is
now being debated. Just before pas-
sage the Senate added a provision to
the bill whereby the government
could take over private plants for the
.production of armaments if the pri-
vate owner failed to furnish the fa-
cilities of his plant to assist his gov-
ernment in preparaation for national
defense. A provision was contained
permitting the courts to set a fair
price for the plant if the government
found it necessary to take over.

NO SUBSTITUTE FOUND YET
FOR MICA, VITAL WAR NEED
“Despite years of research, no all-
round substitute is yet in use for
mica, one of the vital war minerals
in which Uncle iSam was recently re-
ported to be deficient,” says a bulle-
tin from the National Geographic
Society. “Invaluable as an electrical
insulator in such objects as fuse
boxes, telephones, airplane spark
plugs, electric light sockets, magne-
tos and radio condensers, mica dra-
matically proved its qualities of re-
sistance and flexibility during the
first World War. Germany, then de-
prived of her usual supplies, especial-
ly felt the lack of it. Today, indus-
trial United States is the largest con-
sumer of this mineral. So great are
the nation’s needs that, although it
is also the world’s largest producer,
the domestic sources are insufficient.
Additional amounts therefore, are
normally imported from abroad,
chiefly from British India and South
Africa.
With the present world-wide wars
which have rendered foreign sources
unstable, the long-studied question of
possible substitutes for mica in its
chief electrical uses is again receiv-
ing attention. So far no such substi-
tute has been commercially launched,
although one or two promising com-
petitive materials have been devel-
oped in research laboratories. An odd
fact in connection with this modern
industrial mineral is that ancient ab-
original history indicates that it was
the first mineral to be mined in North
America.”

News now $2.50 per year.
Pense, former president of the Amer-
ican Ceramic Society and a former
staff member of Ohio State Univer-
sity, leading American university in
the ceramics field.
"There is an ample market to sup-
port any and all of these industries
in the State of Texas,” Pense said,
“and yet not a single one of them
is to be found either in Texas or the
entire Southwest.”
The fuel most desired in the cera-
mic industries, natural gas, is avail-
able at exceptionally low rates, he
pointed out. There is a surplus of
labor, including a large number of
Mexican workers who show special
skill in ceramics.
“The only factor that needs to be
added is the assurance that satisfac-
tory raw materials, economically lo-
cated, can be had,” he declared.
