DOG EATING RED POINTS PUTS BITE ON WOMAN Last week, Mrs. Ed Lane gave the dinner scraps to her dog, Rusty, and settled down with the paper. But not for long. There on the food page it said that housewives threw away thousands of red points because they did not save meat trimmings and plate scraps! Now Mrs. Lane saves all fat scraps to be melted down and added to the salvage can. That way she gets more extra red points. Rusty is doing nicely on a leaner diet. He was too fat, anyway. And our country is getting more of the used fat it urgently needs for war- and home-front essentials.

Receives Story Os Capt. Fields' Death Circumstances under which Capt, Eugene P. Fields. Decatur dentist, who was killed last November 16, while with the American forces in India, have been made known to his brother, Harold Fields of Geneva, according to the Geneva Herald. Mr. Fields had direct word from a soldier acquaintance of Capt, Fields. According to the newspaper account Capt. Fieldfl fell a victim of a wild shot fired by a soldier.either temporarily crazed by front line fighting or actually insane. Captain Fields and three other officers were riding down a road when they came upon a group of enlisted men, strangers from another outfit, en route back from the scene of active fighting. The soldiers asked for a lift, and when the car did not stop, one of them raised his rifle and blazed away. The bullet penetrated the back of the car. It struck Capt. Fields in the back, severing an artery and causing an internal hemorrhage. He lived but a couple of minutes. According to the informant, the soldier did not attempt to escape, but stood still until the officers placed him under arrest, The informant does not know what disposition was made of the killer's case, as he left for the states before it was completed. He said he did know, however, that the soldier was being held for observation in an effort to determine his mental condition, and if he proved to be mentally unbalanced he would be placed in an institution for the mentally ill. Otherwise, he would have to stand trial for murder. The official notification of Capt. Field’s death did not explain the circumstances, merely stating that he had died of a wound received in an accident.
