The United Press naval analyst. I i rear admiral Yates Stirling. Jr.. I ! retired, says the issue already has j I been raised in the British pallia I tnent. A conservative. Robert Perkins, suggested that the Allied nations may get into a violent race for control of air trade routes aft»r the war. And he proposed that they hold a conference to determine spheres of influence! for each nation. But Stirling op-1 poses such a program. He says , it would set up air monopolies j and force the public to pay exI orbitant rate* However. Stirling admits that Britain and America are certain to be rivals for air transport route* after the war. And he propose* that an inter-Allled conference be held soon to form a plan for freedom of the air in line with the spirit of the Atlantic charter. The United State** a liig jump on other nations, both tn the production of transport planes and in pioneering air routes Britain, pressed with necessity of defending her soil from Immin--1 ent invasion, has concentrated on production of fighter plane*. To America has fallen the ta»k of developing air transports and I routes to carry goods by plane to th* baltlefronts. Th*- British parliamentary undei secretary for air. captain Harold H. Balfour, in an answer to Ferkln*. said that Brliain was glad to see America developing these air routes as an aid to winning tb<- war. Bui when th* fight is over. Balfour added.

Home butchering, a tradition of , the American farm family, will re , celve an added spur this year, say* ' Prof. J. F. Frost of the Purdue Uni- ■ versity animal husbandry depart-1 ment. The difficultl*vt of transput’-1 tatlon and a saving of (10 to >l2 a hog are factor* that will influj ence the swing toward an increase i in butchering on the farm. Home cured ham* and bacon*, i from carcasses such a* la shown in the accompanying picture, will b* appreciated to a fuller extent and over a longer period of tlm«. he State*. Farmers ate urged Io take precaution* against spoilage. Hogs should not be over-heated before I they are killed Excitement causes i increased circulation of blood and i and this prolongs the bleedt.ng and cooling. They should be held off feed for IS to 1* hours before butchering. so they will bleed out more quickly and will be easier to dree*. Leave the hogs In water at 145 to 150 decree* F. until the hair on the shanks and head slips easily.
