Owwwwl KEY ECONOMIST OUT Handsome, platinum haired Ed Stettinius, acting secretary of state, Assistant President telephoned Jimmy Byrnes, asked that he call a meeting of the War Mobilization cabinet to consider cancellation of war contracts where foreign coun-tri- n are involved. Already various war contracts are being cancelled, and some of the cancellations, especially those Involving the purchase f metals, mean breaking commitments to foreign governments. Byrnes agreed, called the meeting. On the morning set Stettinius phoned again. "Weve got to call off the War Mobilization cabinet meeting, he said. Why?" asked the puzzled Byrnes. "Feis has resigned, replied Stettinius. "Hes the expert on foreign war contracts." He was referring to Herbert Feis, economic adviser to the secretary of state. "Well, cant you come to the meeting and present your views to the cabinet? suggested Byrnes. No, replied Stettinius, Feis is the only man who knows anything about the subject." The special cabinet session was postponed. Note: Herbert Feis, related by marriage to the late President Garfield, is a distinguished liberal economist appointed by Secretary of State Stimson under Hoover. His resignation was handed to Hull shortly after the resignation of Sumner Welles, at which time Hull began to sweep out liberals. When newspapers revealed this clean-ou- t, Hull held up acceptance of Feis' resignation, left word that it be announced while he was in Moscow. glycerine- high-price- . dog-face- ....

The Radio: The safest kind ol heckling, Raymond G. Swing pointed out, is that which termites the war strategy. This strategy, he said, has to be secret to be any good.

C. If you dont think waste fat is important listen to this: 31 tablespoons of used kitchen fat will make enough glycerine for a pound and a half of gunpowder. Or 31 tablespoons of fat will provide powder to fire four shells. Figuring another. way, a pound of fat will yield enough glycerine for 1 pounds of powder for machine gun cartridges. (There are other materials in gunpowder besides glycerine derivatives, but the glycerine compound Is what puts the "punch in the explosive.) Other uses for glycerine in war equipment requiring1 a liquid that does not freeze easily, or has some other necessary quality, are in recoil mechanisms for guns, hydraulic devices, such as presses and elevators, pumps, ships steering gear, in compasses, depth charge releases and many for other mechanical purposes. Glycerine is also employed in special compounds to coat weape in radiators and ons, as on windshields, and In medicines. Medical Uses. The medical use of glycerine is constantly growing in Importance. Glycerine is present In. these and many other preparations: Tannic acid used in the treatment of powder and other burns. Some insulins used in the treatment of shock as well as diabetes. Tinctures of opium and gentian used as sedatives to ease pain. Smallpox vaccine as a preventative injection given to all men in the armed forces. Sulpha diazine ointments for treatment of fungus growths and abrasions. Nitro glycerine tablets for a heart 37-m- anti-aircra- ft anti-freez- stimulant Acriflavine used as an antiseptic. Military medicine is achieving remarkable results In saving lives. With new techniques and drugs, the death rate from wounds has been reduced from 7.6 per cent in World War I to 3.1 per cent In this conflict. Sulfa compounds and blood plasma are given much of the credit for this splendid accomplishment In order that that high rate of recovery and the low rate of death of our wounded may continue, the manufacturers of medicinals for the armed forces must have a plentiful supply of glycerine. As more men are tent into various fields of action, it is inevitable that there will be more casualties and that a still more plentiful supply of healing drugs will be needed. At the present time the householders of America are contributing around nine million pounds of used kitchen fats to the war effort each month, but this is only a little more than half of what is needed to keep our glycerine stocks at a safe level. It is safe to say that at least three times this amount of valuable -containing fat still is being wasted. Remember, all fat is wanted. The color is unimportant, as brown fat is as good as white for chemical processing. The housewife has only to save as much fat as possible each day, store it in a tin can and take her savings regularly to the meat dealer, who will pay her for it and send it on its way to the war production line. Within 21 days it will be processed and the glycerine thus obtained will be put to some vital war use. glycerine- Put on tire chains when roads are slippery with snow or 4. ice. 5.

Officials recognize that something attractive must be done to increase wheat plantings. As it looks now, plantings are going to fall below the high goals set by the government an acreage increase of 14 million over this year. This year farmers had the loan, which acted t support the price, plus both parity payments and conservation payments. But congress has knocked out parity payments for next year, leaving a margin of uncertainty as to whether wheat will bring as much as flax or grain sorghums, or some other crop. Planting is now well along in the winter wheat belt, but it is reported to be a slack planting.
