AND THEY ASK FOR NO
OVERTIME PAY
Not only industry is putting in
longer hours for defense^—the hens
may go on a 182-hour week for their
country.
At the Rutgers University agri
cultural experiment station, a shock
brigade of 350 laying hens has been
placed on a 26-hour day in a start
ling attack on the Julian calendar,
designed to step up egg production
for the food-for-freedom campaign
The patriotic hens are operating in a
completely blacked-out laboratory
and where each day has 14 hours of
light and 12 hours of darkness.
If the experiment calls for break
fast at 8 a. m. today, it will be serv
ed at 10 a. m. tomorrow and noon the
following day and so on. This seem
ingly confused schedule has a 182-
hour week, but the hens have to put
up with it for only 48 weeks in their
strange new year.
But the manufacture of food is not
the hens’ only function in our de
fense program.
They are also helping to bring
victory to the United States navy.
The white of eggs is the base of an
alcohol resistant paint used inside of
hermetcally-sealed, alcohol - filled,
four and seven-inch navy compasses,
which one large company is manufac
turing.
Egg albumen has been used as
the base of paint for the inside of
navy compasses for 50 years.
Though our nation’s hens are now
doing vital defense work and face the
possibility of lodger hours to date no
requests have been made for over
time pay.
Minus trousers, cuff and patch
pockets, the new ensemble for the
citizen still carries a lapel, as this
is an election year, and the candi
date needs something to hang to.—

THE DAY OF THE SUBSTITUTE

Anyway, the 'greater the restric
tions on civilian consumption the
more attractive army life will seem.

For want of a nail a nation was
lost! You remember—the want of a
nail caused the loss of horseshoe,
then the horse, the general, the bat
tle and finally the nation. All U. S.
industry is united today to see that
no “nail’ 1 is wanting to win this bat
tle.
Many of our sources of supply
have been cut off—many vitally
needed “nails’ of production are
difficult to get, and without some of
these materials it might seem as if
certain “horseshoes’ would be im
possible. But industry and science
are developing substitutes for these
“missing materials’’ as they disap
pear from the merket. This is the day
of the substitute, and in many cases
the substitute may be coming to stay.
Metals—the backbone of America
—metals for planes, tanks, for ships,
for ammunition. The mad scamper
for materials to replace metals is
giving plastics the greatest oppor
tunity they have ever had to prove
their industrial worth. There are
plastics which are tougher than steel
yet weigh but half as much.
Wool for our army—at the very
time when the country needs it most
to outfit a victory army with uni
forms, blankets, and many other nec
essities a shortage of raw wool
seems imminent, but industry is
coming to the front with all sorts of
substitutes.
Parachute troops in the United
States need no longer depend on
Japan for silk, and the army may
soon be marching on composition
soles, which wear better than leath
er.
These are only a few of the many
products American industry is lin
ing up for the future. Substitutes
so that we can be independent of
many articles that we used to import
Substitutes because there is one
thing for which we know no substi
tute—our democracy and American
way of life!
LEG-TINT LOTION COMING IN
FIVE SHADES
“ALL FOR ONE
“United we standi’’ That’s the
real spirit of America today. Be
hind the headlines and the hurly-
burly of a giant nation gearing it
self to war there’s a new feeling of
unity.
Perhaps you’ve noticed it . Peo
ple are sharing their cars; they’re
lending their neighbors articles that
can’t be bought any longer in the
stores; they’re helping each other in
many little ways—but little ways
that count. Just as a real trouble
brings a family closer to gether, so
it unites a nation.
According to news stories, this
same all-for-one feeling extends to
our war factories. Great industries
and labor are forgetting their dif
ferences and pulling together to
speed their output of victory goods.
One manufacturer who already
changed over his plant to war work
helped a rival firm to make a simi
lar shift, lending out his expensive
plans and factory specifications for
the rival job. Another company help
ed to train workers for a new air
plane plant.
This spirit of unity is what Ameri
ca has stood sorely in need of during
these past months of national peril.
Let it continue and our victory is as
certain as the sunshine.

Contrary to a popular belief,
not all Jewish people who come to
this country from abroad go into the
dry goods business—many of them
become farmers. Last year the Jew
ish Agricultural Society settled 98
refugee families on farms here. Op
erating since its foundation in 1900,
the society has placed 324 Jewish
refugee families on farms in 12
states, besides advising other settlers
who required financial aid.
The number of refugees handled
by the society last year was small
er than that of 1940—655, as com
pared with 892. But they repre
senter a wider range of nationalities,
languages and social strata.
Previously the main country of
origin was Germany, and the ref
ugees came stripped of their pos
sessions, and glad of a chance to be
settled on farms. Among those com
ing last year were numbers of law
yers, physicians, bankers, professors,
and industrialists, accustomed to a
high standard of living. Some of
these turned down good farms be
cause there were not enough shade
trees, or for other reasons of taste.
That the Jewish refugees are be
coming self-supporting on the farms
is indicated by the fact that last year
the society made 376 loans, totaling
$298,886, while it closed out 353 loans
aggregating $268,489.

The Spectator
By SPECTATOR
Well the weather is all right, isn’t
it? Good for sleeping, but how about
the cool nights on cotton? And will
the cotton “come up” without a
shower ?
Perhaps I told you of the wife on
the farm who hoped that some day
she might “enjoy the weather.” When
the nights are delightfully cool she
hears that cotton isn’t doing well. So,
as a loyal farm wife, she should look
as sorrowful as her husband feels.
The only time a cotton-farmer’s wife
can afford to rejoice and be glad is
when the “close,” hot nights of sum
mer come—and when one hasn’t
enough “pep” to rejoice over any
thing.
I picked up a hitch-hiker recently.
He was a bit down at the heels and
was standing by the road appealing
for a ride. The bus was due to pass;
and the fare was about seventy three
cents. As we rode he told me that
he had been making more than $57
a week in Florida and had received
$175 for the previous three weeks.
But he was hitch-hiking! How much
should a man earn in order to be wil
ling to pay his way
He was an agreeable man to have
on the ride. He talked continuously
and became somewhat revealing.
Said he “I’d ruther have $20 or $25
a week at home than $60 a long way
off on special contract jobs. After
paying board it goes like the wind.”
Why? Board may be high; I know
of single men who pay as high as $42
a month for a room, ordinary room at
that But that is only $10 a week,
though high enough “in all con
science.” Allowing $10 a week for
meals, that leaves this man $37 a
week—for what? And at the end of
the job he has nothing. He isnt com
ing back with money in his pocket to
help those who have “carried on”
here. On the contrary, he is coming
back to live on them until something
turns up.
I met a one-armed man recently.
We talked about the war. He said
“You know I’d like to get into the
war; I could do a lot of things.” And
of course he could. He is making a
living now on outdoor work. After
paying his respects to the Japs, he
said something which appeals to
every man: “I’d like to be able to
tell my kids what I did in the war.’
And then he added “of course I
guess I’d add to it you know, but it
would be worth something to me, and
they’d be awful proud of me.” I’m
sure they would.
This war will bring about a great
comradeship. Once a man has be
come a part of the service he feels
the kinship of the same aims and en
deavors.
The greatest satisfaction comes in
after years. Twenty years from now
the lads of today will be the men of
middle age and will tell their little
boys about the war. Looking back
over the years, the months of service
will be a memory of association, of
fellowship, pf rich companionship,
that would be cherished beyond all
other considerations.
You have known old Confederate
and Union soldiers to ask that they
be laid away in the uniform they
wore forty or fifty years before. It
was the thrill of a recollection of
hardship, long marches, hunger, suf
fering, danger—endured with a great
company of men in their young man
hood.
The memory of it will lift every
man from the dreary routine of com
monplace living and make him feel
anew the exhilarating pulsations of
youthful spirit.
All the various organizations of
relief set up during the Depression
should be cut off So great is em
ployment that hundreds of thousands
of lads and girls are now at work. It
is estimated that ten million more
jobs will be open before the end of
next year.
To win the war is our big job, our
supreme task. We are foolishly
bleeding our people for a lot of tom.

foolery, like NYA, WPA, CCC, and
a score of other osganizations even
less meritorious. Congress should be
firm and should knock all these
things into a cocked hat. Let’s get
down to business and win the war.
The clubs have already met and
chosen delegates to the County Con
vention; the County Conventions will
start off the oratory and little groups
will engineer, manipulate and make
trades so that X may be elected to
some Party office and Y may go to
the State Convention as a delegate.
That is harmless if the State Conven
tion is just a jolly get-together and
general glorification. But is that all
the Convention means ? Down at bot
tom, what difference does it make
who is Chairman of the Party in your
County or Chairman of the State
Committee? If the Democratic Pri
mary is honorably conducted the offi
ces are not worth fighting for,

The fountain of beauty is the

His modes declare the beauty of
holiness, and His manifold wisdom

AUSTRALIA NOW A GREAT
FORTRESS
The biggest American army ever
sent overseas, excepting the AEF in
France, hds transformed Australia
from a rich plum ready for the inva
der’s plucking into an offensive base
for operations which are already
hurting the enemy and may well in
the coming weeks change the whole
course of the war, writes Joseph C.
Harsch from “Somewhere in Austra
lia” to his paper, The Christian
Science Monitor.
The time has come, says Mr.
Harsch, when it is obvious that this
new American AEF is far more than
just a token of America’s good will
toward the western world’s most im
portant Pacific heritage. This is the
real thing—a powerful military force
that has girdled half the world and
gone into action. Obviously, and
this tells the enemy nothing he does
not know, American forces in Aus-

tralia do not yet compare in numbers
with those who went to France in
1917 and 1918. But considering the
distance from home, the staggering
transportation obstacles to over
come, and the absence during the
critical period of any strongly held
frot to guarantee the security of
unloading and reorganization, this op
eration in many respects is a great
er military achievement.
Two months ago when I crossed
Australia en route to Java, says Mr.
Harsch, I saw a token American
force scattered sparsely over this
continent but it was almost nothing.
Where one plane touched the ground
we would find usually a single Am-
ercan pursuit plane and perhaps
half a dozen ground crewmen just
arrived and making a poor best of
servicing and repair facilities and
small runways adequate only for the
simplest peacetime needs.
I have just returned from another
tour, writes Mr. Hirsch, which in
cluded advanced allied bases in the.
southwest Pacific.
“I’ve seen written across the face
of this continent the fact that during
these two months token forces have
become a great military power and
the sparse and Spartan landing
fields of peacetime Australia have
become an integrated maze of mod
ern military airdomes organized in
depth, equipped with long runways,
and supplying facilities to a point
where an enemy attack on one would
have a negligible meaning. Where
two months ago there was grazing
land or jungle or desert or an unpeo

cans working closely together, have
leveled scores of new fields and er
