DOLLARS GROW IN EAST INDIES TRADE COFFER

Favorable Balance Now Above 100 Million And Growing Batavia, Java—Despite large purchases of war materials froin the United States, the Dutch East Indies has been able to maintain a favorable trade balance of approximately $100,508,000. This figure is calculated on the fiscal period from January to November, 1940. Ability to accorhplish this unusual fe&t in wartime is laid to Americas need for raw materials available in the Netherlands East Indies. Prices of tin, rubber, and quinine—all vital necessities for proposed American defense measures —have remained unchanged since the recent .world depression. Producers and manufacturers agreed then to stabilize costs and profits, thereby maintaining price. Dutch feel that the present scale both protects their markets and does not lay too much strain on foreign manufacturers. Surplus May Rise A trade balance surplus of $110,000,000 in the United States in favor of the Dutch in the Par East is expected by the end of 1941. Until the first of December, 1940 total United States imports from the N.E.I. amounted to $148,353,000. Dutch imports from the United States to the Indies for the same period totaled $47,508,000. Illustrating large defense purchases made by the Dutch last year from the United States is the figure of $34,000,000—out of the total Dutch imports into the Indies—which was relegated tb the buying of “finished products.” Authorities admit that this group of purchases was characterized as principally military materials. The future tPade balance probably will keep its status quo, although it may rise slightly as regards Dutch credits in the United States. Additional military and air acquisitions are scheduled on N.E.I. war budgets. But American orders for needed Dutch Indian raw materials undoubtedly will rise sharply. Ban on Some Goods Not long ago a circular was issued to importers banning certain American manufactured goods, which were considered unnecessary to defense efforts. Examples of such items are cigarettes made in the United States, tooth paste, soap (also made locally in the Indies), and tinplate. Probably the ban of these articles will be lifted, or modified to a degree. — o Lower Standards for Army Air Corps Army Air Corps three-year enlistments now are open to men who have completed the eighth grade in grammar school and who can pass a knowledge test was announced today by Fifth Corps Area (Headquarters, Fort Hayes, Columbus, Ohio.

At present, 2,494 Air Corps vacancies are available for Fifth Corps Residents, mostly at BOwman Field, Louisville, Ky„ aiid Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, Mo.

These are just a few of the charming new flower arrangements for Mother’s Day that can be wired anywhere in this country and Canada.

RUN TO EXPAND REGULAR ARMY

An increase in the nation’s regular Army three-year enlistments to 500,000 by June 30 or an advance of almost 45,000 over oresent actual strength was authorized today by the War department, Fifth Corps Artea Headquarters announced at Fort Hayes, Columbus, Ohio. Corps Area Headquarters today predicted that the total Army in crease would bbost its recruiting quota for Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia ainl Indiana by at least 5,000 or one-ninth of the total sought. Each of the eight other Afrtiy Corps Areas throughout the country probably woqld receive Similar quotas. The War Department announcement indicated, however, that each Corps Area would be permitted to accept enlistments above its requisition for possible adjustments in Order to meet the national quota by June 30. As of April 15, th‘e entire Army’s actual three-year enlisted strength totaled 455,146.

NATIONAL ‘HOBO WEEK’ PROPOSED

Suggested for Americans Desiring to Go Out And Rough It. Pittsburgh, Pa. — Jeff Davis, King of the Hoboes, has added another “week”—a “Kobo week”—so that Americans who are getting “too soft” can go out and rought it. “Hobo week,” Davis proposed, should be held May 10 to 17, when the Internatinoal Itinerant Workers’ Union, Hoboes of America, Inc., will stage its 33d annual convention at Jersey City, N. J. Six years ago Davis was elected king of the Hoboes of America for life. “During Hobo week everyone should forget his life of comfort and leisure and spend at least one day during that week roughing it like a hobo,” Davis said. Forget Sugar in Coffee “That’s the trouble with America these days-;—we’re getting too soft. Let’s forget the sugar in the coffee for a day and eat thousand-on-a-plate (dish of beans). Maybe it Would do some good, too, to sleep on the floor for a night or get into your old clothes and sleep in a lodging house.” King Davis doesn’t advocate “the road” for a career, even though next year he will celebrate his “golden anniversary” of rodriding and hoboing. As a lad of 10, Davis ran away from his Chicago home to peddle papers through New York’s. Bowery. “I’m against this wander lust,” he said. “A rolling stone doesn’t gather moss, see? It gathers mud and an awful lot of clinkers. The road is no place for anyone. The home is still the cornerstone of American society.” o Unusual Noises Found To Upset Normal Health State College, Pa.—Unnecessary horn-blowing, riveting and similar sudden and unexpected noises may do serious harm to the human body’s nervous system, Dr. R. K. Bernhard head of the department of engineering at Pennsylvania State College, believes. Dr. Bernhard, who has just published studies measuring the effect of sounds and vibration on both inanimate structures and human behavior, said that “there are definite limits to the amounts of noise and tremors the body can bear.” He said that noise alone can never destroy a building, but it can harm the human body serious-

ly.

The body can adapt Itself to a certain extent to constant noise or to regularly repeated mechanical vibrations, he said, but it may be “definitely damaged” by sudden, unexpected sounds, by tremors, oi by the combination of noise and

mechanical vibrations.

Explaining the difficulty of de vising instruments to measure the effects of noise on human beings, Dr. Bernhard recommended that medical doctors and psychologists co-operate with engineers ii> solving noise and tremor problems.

Into his bag of tricks goes the magician’s hand. Out come thrilling surprises that bring delighted “ahs” and “ohs” from the audience. A bag of lemons gives the cook a host of culinary tricks to delight family and guests. The versatile lemon provides flavor magic that presto! chango! turns uninteresting foods into menu top-liners. These tricks are so many and pleasing, it becomes a wise rule “to buy by the bag,” — a dozen or more at a time. Never leave the kitchen without its magic lemon. A Trick for Tea This hit of magic makes ordinary tea (any kind) reminiscent of rare and expensive blends. Add 1 teaspoon of grated lemon peel to 4 to 6 teaspoons of tea leaves. Steep as usual. Serve with juiceful, decorative lemon quarters. Salad Wizard/ A salad is only as good as Its dressing. Here again, the fresh tang and flavor of lemon gives a cue to the culinary magician. Try It in your favorite dressing. Especially good with a fruit salad Is Lemon French Dressing. Blend well: % cup lemon juice, % cup galad oil, 1 teaspoon each salt and paprika, 2 tablespoons sugar or honey. For other salad tricks, crisp greens by adding lemon juice to water in which they are freshened. Sprinkle bananas, apples, pears snd peaches wif/s lemon juice to keep color light

Lemon Tarts Capture Hearts Serve him Lemon Tarts. Eve used this magic on Adam. Mix % cup sugar, 5 tablespoons cornstarch, Vt. teaspoon salt, 1% cups water or milk, 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel. Cook in double boiler, stirring frequently until mixture thickens (10-15 minutes). Add 2 well-beaten egg yolks and 6 tablespoons lemon juice. Beat well. Cool and turn into tart shells. Top with meringue. Beat 2 egg whites until frothy. Add gradually % cup sugar. When stiff, pile on tarts. Brotvn in oven, A Magic Touch for Vegetables Supreme trick! Lemon transforms neglected but necessary vegetables into foods that even tin children like. As important in serving vegetables as the salt and pepper shakers, is a dish of lemon quarters. Good with asparagus, artichokes, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, is Lemon Butter — two parts melted butter and ona part lemon juice. Other Lemon Tricks A few drops of lemon juice on melon discovers hidden flavor. Try this, too, with avocados and with prune, pineapple, tomato and other fruit juices. Sprinkle buttered waffles or hot cakes with sugar and a liberal squeeze of lemon juice. Experiment with lemon and ha your own culinary magician. .
