NAVY SCHOOLS RUSH TRAINING FOR RADIOMEN
Largest Of Four Centers Will Qualify 494 In 4 Months
Noroton Heights, Conn. — The navy has instituted a speedup system for the mass training of hundreds of radio operators needed for the many ships being built under the two-ocean naval expansion program. At its largest school here, and at three others throughout the nation, raw recruits are being transformed into skilled radiomen in four months. The quota of the Noroton Heights school alone is 1,500 a year. This training station occupies buildings that until last fall were the Fitch Home for Soldiers. With the vast naval expansion program sending ships down the ways almost daily, the need for competent radio operators became so great it necessitated some fast *neans of training recruits. Course Lasts 4 Months The Noroton Heights school was commissioned, and on Nov. 1, 1940, a base force of 76 enlisted men and 16 officers started an intensive four months radio course with an initial group of 494 trainees. Only about 60 of the 494 recruits ha(J any previous radio experience. The men enter the school untrained at a pay of $21 a month. After their four months course they are fast typists, know the code, sema phore and service codes, apd are capable of servicing a radio trans mitter. The final eight months of their year’s enlistments they are ranked as Radiomen 3rd Class and receive pay of $60 a month. The school is operated like an academy. The men, ranging in ages from 18 to 35', live in clean airyf dormitories, each with about 100 beds. Reveille is sounded at 6 A. 'M'. over a public address system which has its center in the guard room and outlets in all dormitories, on the parade grounds, and the class rooms. METAL STOCKS FILL DEMANDS FOR DEFENSES
Quantities Held Adequate With Development Of Substitutes
Cleveland, Feb. 14—Virtually all metals necessary to the defense program exist in adequate quantities in the Western Hemisphere or can be replaced by satisfactory domestic substitutes, according to W. H. Eisenman, secretary of the American Society for Metals. Eisenman, in a discussion of the place of metals in the defense program, said, “the government some time ago inaugurated a policy of acquiring and storing certain materials normally imported, “The army and navy munitions boarsd class the following as strategic metals; nickel, tin, antimony, tungsten, manganese, chromium and mercury. Most of these metals are used extensively as alloys of steel for armor plate, guns, machinery and other uses. “Canada supplies 90 per cent of the world’s nickel, and most of the antimony used in the United States come from Mexico. Manganese no olnger reaches us from Russia and South Africa, but there are deposits in Cuba and South America which will, with refined low grade manganese ore, meet the nation’s needs,” he added. Tin Stocks Stored Eisenman pointed out that tin comes from the Dutch East Indies, but thta smelters are being built in this country for refining Bolivian tin ore. He said there is enough manganese in reserve in the United States to last nearly two years and enough tin for one year. Tungsten imports from China have dropped off, Eisenman said, but deposits estimated at 30,000,000 tons have been found in Nev. ada and a $225,000 refining plant bas been completed there. He pointed out that molybdenum can be substituted for tungsten in many cases and that the United. States has a world monopoly on molybdenum. Commenting on iron and steel needs, Eisenman said that alloys and methods of manufacturing progressed considerably during 1940. — Q — WEED ERADICATOR DEVISED

SAVORY MEAT SAUCES There's a new way to make 'em that's speedy, easy and sure says Dorothy Greig
BRITAIN'S FACE NOW REFLECTS WAR ECONOMY
^AAUCES are one thing that many women avoid making. As $3 a friend of mine once expressed it, “I love them on the dishes I get in restaurants but as for making the fussy, fiddling things myself, no sir!”
There’s no denying that sauces do demand time, skill and patience —if you start from scratch. But recently we have discovered we don’t have to begin at the beginning. We can instead use condensed soups as a base and from them evolve some of the most zestful sauces that ever graced a dish. - You see. condensed soups as they -come from the can already contain superb seasonings, skillfully blended. Therefore, the difficult and time consuming part of making the sauces has been done for us. All we need do is add a few extra ‘flourishes. And a fine sauce does bestow such flavor on a meat dish! Oftentimes it’s the making of the dish. Take meat patties, for instance. Creamy mushroom sauce positively glorifies them. And made this new simplified way it’s no trouble at all:
Combine the cream of mushroom soup with tf l&nilk and heat. Makes 1% cups. Incidentally, this particular sauce is also delicious over many vegetables, but I think I like it best of all as a meat sauce. We all agree that hot tomato sauce does much for corned beef hash, pork chops, veal cutlets and the like. Well, let’s use condensed tomato soup for our sauce. You heat the soup just as it comes from the can and serve it thicft and smooth without doing one single other thing to it. Or, for a more spicy sauce, try this: Spiced Tomato Sauce 1 can condensed tomato soup 2 tablespoons brown sugar 2 teaspoons tarragon vinegar !4 teaspoon cinnamon, ground T4 teaspoon cloves Heat and serve. And then there is this sauce— delicious for beef meat loaf:
Razor Blade Shortage Explains Beards And Whiskers
London.—Of all the cbmmodities which have been rationed or on which quotas have been enforced, no single item is likely to have a more noticeable effect on the changing face of Britain than the present critical shortage of razor blades. # *Many London drug stores have used up the last of their old supplies and storekeepers do not know when more will be available. Others still have a few blades left and hope to eke out their stocks until the next quota arrives. But even when further shipments come the situation will not be much improved. With blade manufacturers allowed only onequarter the amount of hard steel which they received last year, the male population soon must face the mirror and admit that things have reached a crisis. By the laws of mathematics it is evident that the nation soon will have only one-quarter the numbei of razor blades which it formerly had. Either three-quarters of the male population must go unshaved, or blades must be made to serve four times as long. Even new blades frequently feel dull, and the thought of using a blade which theoretically has been thrown away three times is enough to make beards bloom throughout the country. The strong probability is that Britain shortly will witness a growth of facial hair which will outdo the decorative effects seen during the World War. Whether beard-growing is adopted as a definite program or arises merely from the lack of any plan to counteract the blade shortage, the result will be the same. The smooth face will become ever rarer and the cry of “Beaver!” will sound through the land.

Governor’s Tip On Snowstorm Steak Offered Helena, Mont.—Montana’s Gov. Sam C. Ford, besides being governor and a prominent state attorney, is something of a cook, too. In fact, the governor insists he probably is the best cook in the state when it comes to turning out “snowstorm steaks.” Ford said he learned the trick while working in a restaurant to help pay his way through college. And here, according to the governor’s recipe, is how you do it: First, get a T-bone or sirloin steak about an inch thick, lay it on a flat surface, and pound flour into it until it won’t take any more. This, if done properly, should take about 15 minutes. Then, put the steak into a skillet containing plenty of sizzling hot fat, brown the steak on both sides, season it, and then move it to a lower heat and leave it until tender. The result, says Gov. Ford, is something to get really excited about, particularly if it is accompanied by cream gravy, mashed potatoes and hot biscuits. MACHINE SKILL OF OLD TIMERS AIDS DEFENSES

to instruct younger unskilled men in defense industries,” Arno S. McClellan. Pittsburgh field manager for the Social Security Board, explained. It was pointed out that the older men are valuable in steadying youthful employees who are “scared” by the “machinery or nose.” “They’ve got to have somebody to come along and pat them on the back and reassure them,” an official of the state employment service said. “They must have some experienced man next to them to steady them and prevent a slowdown in the production line.” At present, according to estimates of the service, about 13,800 more skilled workers will be needed this year by plants in Allegheny county alone. Only about 3,400 applicants are available for some type of defense work, however, and not more than 2,000 of these were characterized by the employment service as “fully fitted.” In all five Western Pennsylvania counties, Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer, the figures show a total of only 7,000 metal-industries workers available. Peak Six Months Away ‘We’re hunting for more applicants—not that we can use so many right now, but six months from now we will be presented with a terrific problem,” a spokesman for the service said. “We need to build up a reservoir of experienced skilled men— regardless of age.” o—— Herring oil may be used in making paints in Iceland.
The move, in fact, already is well established. Hundreds of men of the navy, new men as well as veterans, have taken advantage of the time-honored Admiralty regulations permitting beards. Many no doubt, will be achieving a longheld but secret ambition which they never dared to inaugurate in the face of criticism of their smooth-chinned friends, o Student of ’41 Called Alert To U. S. Crisis Rochester, N. Y.—College students of 1941 are as sensible, so-ber-minded and keen to the perils that face the country as were those of 1914, according to Dr. James Phinney Baxter, president of Williams College, Williamstown, Mass. Dr. Baxter, a member of a Williamstown draft board, asserted during a \isit here that since the blitzkrieg of the Low Countries college students have looked upon the crisis with “even more concern.” jL “If there ever was a gulf between the college student of today and the student of my days of 1914, ago September,” he said. “I have yet to find a student who was not wholly interested in the national defense program. Many students have already entered the services in various engineering and aviation branches.” Students voted 7 to 1 in favor the Selective Service Act at Williams College, Dr. Baxter said. Most of them were deferred because of their educational status, he said, but during the summer many of those in Class 1-D will join service camps for a year’s training.
Survey Shows Athletes Rank In Professions Minneapolis, *Minn. — A survey of the employment record of former University of Minnesota athletes discredits a common belief that collegiate stars shine less brightly after graduation. Clarence Osell, instructor in orthopedics, made a study of the extensive file on former Minnesota
athletes.
He discovered that 27 per cent of the former athletes now were professional men, 13 per cent-sales-men, 9 per cent engineers, 7 per cent executives, and 6 per cent
teachers.
“Only five of 722 athletes are now engaged in professional ath letics,” Osell said. Former Minnesota “M” men now include a railroad president, a geologist, prominent educator, bacteriologist, bank examiner, congressman, research cnemist, and
an veditor.
The survey disclosed that 180 were employed in miscellaneous positions ranging from accountants, air mail pilots, and bake.rs to six men who listed themselves as retired. Of the 195 professional men, 77 are lawyers, 68 doctors, and 37 dentists. TRAVELRECORD SET IN MINES
Latuda, Utah.—Globe-trotting is nothing new, and they say there’s nothing new under the sun. But this city has a mine boss who has established something unique in globe-trotting and also something new under the sun. George A. Schultz has traveled once around the earth underground —certainly a new angle in globetrotting. And Schultz said it has all been from a few hundred feet to a few thousand feet underground, which justifies his claim to something new under the sun, also. “It just came to me the other day,” said the 53-year-old mine boss, “that in the 30-odd years that I have been a coal mining engineer and superintendent, I have walked about 25,000 miles underground. “When I was doing engineering work exclusively, I covered an average of 10 miles a day in the mine. Lately, however,” he added, “my daily trips have included only abqut four miles, but I estimated I’ve covered about 25,000 miles in the three mines where I have worked during the last 30 years. “And I think the best part of it is that my teet have never bothered me in the least.” Schultz has been superintendent at the Latuda mine since 1917. Before that he worked six years as engineer at a mine in New Mexioc and five years at Hiawatha, Utah. He was superintendent at the latter mine for one and onehalf years. By coincidence, Schultz has traveled the same distance through the air as he has no foot underground. In 1932 he purchased a plane* learned to fly received his pilot’s license and has flown 25,000 miles during the years following. Schultz is proud of his record of “25 years a mine superintendent.” He is the oldest superintendent in point of service in Carbon county, one of the world’s richest coal districts. o Heaters In Cold Storage Plant Houlton, Me.—When the temper ature plunged to 35 degrees below zero, electric heaters were used at a cold storage plant to prevent meat from getting too hard. o Last year $408,528,00(1 wer legally bet on the various horse races and race horses of this country. Nearly 200 of England’s best horses have been imported to this country and and most of them will be in the 1941 races which promise to be the best attended races in the history of the United States.
Craftsmen of 60 and 65 Carry On Beyond Retirement Age N Pittsburgh—-Industrial plants in, the Pittsburgh area, hard-pressed to find experienced workmen te keep up with ever-increasing demands of national defense production, are turning once more to the “old-timers”-—men of 60 and 65. Older employes are being kept on the payrolls beyond normal retirement age limits, and men whose working days had previously been considered finished, are being hired to aid in the “all-out” preparedness drive. So pronounced has this trend become, that the local offices of Hie Social Security Board reports that old-age benefit claims have declined considerably since the beginning of the heightened indusi trial activity. Officials of the Pennsylvania State Employment Service confirmed the tendency toward hiring of older workers. They reported the state service is receiving a large number of calls daily for skilled workers, and that in supplying the employes they “don’t care how old the men are.” Old Timers Instruct “Many of the men who have attained the age of 65—when they would ordinarily retire and become eligitde for benefit payments—are being kept on by their employees

ARMY FINISHES AERIAL PHOTOS IN 255 SECONDS
Rapid Fire Photography Enters Stop Watch Stage in Tests Dayton, O.—Aerial photographs which can be developed, printed and dropped from *tlie airplane within five minutes after the exposure is the army air corps’ newest contribution to national defense. Recent time tests at Wright Field, Dayton, clocked the entire process in 4 minutes 15 seconds. And yet air corps photographic experts are seeking further shortcuts to reduce the time. Most important factors in the air corps’ quick-photography method are: 1— Compact processing tank with four compartments which may be installed in any tactical ship larger than a single-seat pursuit plane. 2— Special type of cut film holder designed by the photographic laboratory which is used continuously as a camera holder and a processing holder. 3— Small but highly efficient printer operated in a light-proof zipper bag. Focus at Infinity The steps in making a “quick photograph” are as follows: Flying high over the objective, the cameraman “fires” his 20- or 40-inch telephoto lens camera, designed for making oblique photographs. With a fixed focus at infinity, all the camera has to worry about is exposure and lens open-
ing.
When the exposure is made, the cameraman takes the holder from the camera and immerses it in the first section of the tank. He pulls the slide up above the holder so that it protrudes from the tank and uses it as a handle to agitate the holder in the tank so that the negative is fully treated in the developer for one minute. Replacing the slide, the cameraman removes the holder and transfers it to the second section of the tank, where it gets the same agitating process for 15 seconds in a “stop bath” solution. The negative then gets 75 seconds in the third tank, a “fixing” solution, and a five-second water rinse in the fourth tank. Non-Spill Tanks Used Each section of the tank has a non-spill lid, so that' the plane can do any ordinary maneuvers without spilling the chemicals. The tank is jacketed in an insulation material one and one-half inches thick, which is electrically Ideated to a constant temperature of 75 degrees. After the rinse, the negative is sponged of with a rubber squeegee, similar to those used by window washers, to remove extra moisture, and then is ready for printing. o Museum Gives Mummy Robe of Cellophane New York—Wah, an Egyptian nobleman, has been subjected to an autopsy 4,000 years after his death to determine, not the cause of his demise, but the manner of his mummification. The operation, performed by Dr. Harry L. Shapiro of the American Museum of Natural History, disclosed that Wah, of the 11th Dynasty WahS, died when he was 30 years old. . Well preserved despite the fact that he died in the year 2010 B.C., Wah was 5 feet 2 inches tall and, judging by the care taken *by his embalmers, a person of importance in his community. “It was surprising,” Shapiro reported, “to find the brain, heart, stomach and other organs intact, indicating that greater pains and more time were taken in preparing mummies in the days of Wah than in later times.” The nails of both hands and feet were well preserved. Shapiro said, having been tied on with string, a fact indicated by grooves in the mummified flesh where the loops had been knotted.

INDIANS DEPEND ON ACORN FOOD
Visallia,. Cal.—Acorns from the oak trees of the San Joaquin Valley have furnished an important staple food in the diet of Indians of the Yokuts tribe for hundreds of years. Consequently, it was of considerable concern to Indians when the crop of acorns was light last fall. In the old days, the Indians lived on acorns day in and day out, converting them usually into mush, sometimes baking the mush on hot rocks and frequently cooking it with deer meat or quail. Before the white man brought his civilizatiop to this area, the acorn meats and acorn flour could be kept indefiitel. But now they frequently become grub-infested after only a few months. It has become necessary to replenish the supply of acorns every year. That’s why the Indians were saddened by the short crop. Almost every Indian camp, and there are still hundreds sprinkled about the edges ' of farming communities in the hills and the valley, keeps a big store of dried acorns in wicker willow baskets. The Yokuts dry ti\e acorn meats in the sun and grind them into flour on granite mortars. The flour is winnowed on a ground tray until it Is as fine as wheat flour. The bitterness natural to acorns is Reached out by placing the flour in a cloth and pouring lukewarm water on it. The meal is cooked by placing it in a closely woven basket. Rocks are heated over an oak wood fire and then flipped into the basket where the meal and water have been mixed. Four rocks are enough to cook a basket of mush that feeds five Indians. The m-ush is light brown in color and almost tasteless. The Yokuts—translated the word means people—at one time inhabited the San Joaquin valley for 150 mils from north to south and 100 miles from east to west. They pitched their camps in the hills fringing the plain and migrated to the lowlands in search of animals, fish, weed seeds or roots and acorns. Oak trees supplied the Indians the biggest sb^re of their food.
