Drying Preserves Vegetables "The audacious Idea of defeating perishability" is the way one of' the scientists of the U, H. Department of Agriculture refers to dehydration reaearch by the liureau of Agricultural Chemistry and Engineering. The Food-for-Freedom program calls for production of meats, dairy products, eggs, vegetables, and fruits? al] perishable. Hut there la a shortage of metals for canning and freezing plants, processing equipment, and containers. The transportation situation on sea and land prohibits useless bulk and weight. Chemists of the department believe that better dehydration plants In areas yvhore food grows, will help "defeat perishability." At present the department is working especially on drying eggs and vegetables. Dried vegetables have never yet, become as popular as dried fruits. The total quantity dried commercially In 1940 was less than 1 per cent of the quantity canned and frozen. Since there may not be equipment for new dehydrating plants, the department suggests more intensive use of existing equipment by moving the scarcer pieces from the plant to another to "follow the harvest." Dryers should seek large production, high quality, and rapid output. Dehydrating may then take its place as a third means of defeating perishability, supplementing canning and freezing.

Army'a Health Washington,'July 6.?The health of the members of the United States Army 1a excellent, according to a report made to the War Department by the Surgeon General. Admissions to hospitals and death** from disease during the two years In which millions of men from all parts of the country have been mobilized and have engaged in extensive maneuvers have remained as low as the admissions and deaths from disease in the small Regular Army of previous yours. Every effort is made to see that our soldiers and other service men receive the best of medical and surgical care wherever they may be serving. Overconfldence Although the war news has been none too good, the President's recent announcement of impressive producI (Ion figures was very encouraging. | "VVe are well on our way towards achieving the rate of production which will bring us to our goal", he reported to the Nation. Hut he warned emphatically that "this is no time for the American people to get overconfident. We can't rest on our oars. We need more and more, and we will make more and more. And we must also remember that there is plenty of serious production problems ahead ? particularly some serious shortages in raw materials, which are receiving the closest consideration of the Government and industry." Living Costa The attack on the high cost of living?which the economists call inflation?has been launched In three waves. On May 11 a celling was clamped on the prices of almost everything we eat, wear, and use. This ceiling applied to the manufacturing and wholesale level. On May 18 this ceiling was extended to cover commodity prices on the retail level. Now it has been stretched over the prices of most consumer services. Price control of consumer services is important to everybody. The American people spend upwards of $5,000,000,000 a year in nearly 1,000,000 shops and stores on such services; and the fact that they are being brought under control will go a long way toward stabilizing the budgets of 33,000.000 American families. "Consumer services" is a fancy name for something which is a part of our daily living. Every time you have your watch fixed or a roll of photographic films developed or your automobile greased you are getting a consumer service. There are a thousand and one consumer services which have made our way of life the best and most pleasant in the world?and which constantly tap our pocket books. Rubber Government agencies, in collaboration with the other American republics, are planning one of the biggest equipment tasks of the war?the outfitting of thousands of rubber tappers to collect wild rubber in the forests of South and Central America. Some 40.000 rubber tappers are estimated to be at work now in the Amazon basin, and officials hope to get another 20,000 equipped this year. The United States has agreed to contribute $5,000,000 toward rubber development in Brazil and $1,125,000 to Peru. Similar flnuncial aid, it is indicated, may be forthcoming for other American republics Joining in this vast rubber program. Aside from direct aid. additional millions of dollars are to go into health and sanitation projects to protect workers engaged in production of rubber and other strategic materials. Educated Army A study has shown that 41 per cent of the white men Inducted into the Army during the past two years were high school graduates or had some college training. This is in contrast to the figures of World .War I when the figures was one nine per cent. Employment Non-agricultural employment was at an all-time record high of 41,201,000 in May, 1012. according to the department of labor. The number of persons employed increased by a third of a million from April.
