BRITISH FIGHT ON FOOD FRONT
Millions of Acres Reclaimed; Scraps Saved to Feed Stock; Vitamins Used.
By EMILY C. DAVIS Times Special Writer
WASHINGTON, March 4.—What constitutes the all-out food defense ‘of a European nation, these days, is
{being demonstrated in Great Brit-
ain, where the people are reclaiming millions of acres of grassland to farm, saving scraps, using wild plants for food, raising pigs in the | back yard, and eating foods specially fortified with vitamins. Diettically, one British scientist forecasts that the nation is gradually heading toward lactovegetarianism, a longish word which means that it will increasingly consume dairy products and vegetables during the war years. With spring not far off, a drive to plow up more grass and fenland in Britain is being pressed, and thousands of women are being recruited and trained for farm work, British reports received here state. Between three and four million acres of “lost” land that has stood idle and unfarmed has been put to crops since the war began, and the harder problem of finding still more such land is now absorbing local agricultural committees. Grain and potatoes, with special emphasis on potatoes, are leading crops to go into the newly reclaimed land. Not content with the recordbreaking size of the United Kingdom’s 1940 potato crop, British food officials are calling for even higher production in 1941. Gradual reduction of livestock is taken for granted, as part of the long-range food management, inevitable in prolonged war. Rations for meat animals are short, and much grazing land is being shifted to grain and vegetables. Milk cows are the favored heasts, with pigs and poultry usually chosen as first to be killed. In the super-efficiency that a war demands, kitchen waste is being salvaged to provide poultry and stock

HIGH AIR PLAYS| Gr STRANGE TRICKS
Above 16,000 Feet Planes Must Carry Oxygen for Men, Engines.
By MAJ. Al. WILLIAMS Times Aviation Editor Ordinarily we think of air as intangible. But when a gale halts our steps, we fing that air has substance. When we fly through it, we know it can be a semi-fluid. At 250 or 300 miles an lour or more, the mightiest man cannot force his
fist out into the invisible air stream. When we fly above 16,000 feet, the Service altitucle at which pilots resort to oxygen, we virtually ll have to i
with us, as highl charged oxygen] or by pumping outside air into the sealed cabin until the pressure approki-fi mates that of the atmosphere at sea level. | : At extremely Ma}. Williams high altitudes, we have to keep our gas tanks unger air pressure or the gasoline in them will vaporize. The 14.7 pounds per squere inch of air pressure at sea level retards the evaporation of gasoline, but when the pressure is reduced to the 2 or
altitudes, gaspline fairly boils into vapor. War tactics require planes to operate at 20,000 to 30.000 feet, carry= ing machine guns and light cannon. The recoil action cf the gun requires a flexible covering of the opening around it, and this invites the air pressuré inside the fuselage to leak out. The gun barrel itself is a funnel with its rear end in the cabin and its muzzle outside. Through this funnel air pressure streams out.
Engines Need Air Too
Then, too, engines as well as men need air at pressures as nearly as possible equalling that of sea level, to perform efficiently. That’s why engines are supercharged. But pumping agitates and heats the air, and heated air, lighter per cubic foot than cold air, means less horsepower. So on high-powered altitude engines there | must be air coolers, which take room and add weight. Flight at | extreme altitudes requires oxygen boit.es for the crew members if it becomes necessary for them to use their parachutes. To each ’chute harness must be attached a bottle of oxygen. The moisture in the air creates aviation’s main headache, “icing up.” Atmospheric’ moisture plays strange tricks. For instance, the ignition cables on an aircraft engine must be shielded with metal, to prevent interference between the ignition current. and the radio equipment, but without “shorting” the cables] Around every cable carrying high tension electric current there is a corona—a faint glow. This| corona, when exposed to air, forms qzone and nitric oxide. Does Complicated Things In the presence of atmospheric oxygen, nitric oxide forms nitric dioxide, which moisture turns into nitric acid.| And nitric acid eats rubber insulation. and metals. That simple substance, air, does complicated things, and we know only a few of its tricks thus far.
GAS MASK CHARCOAL T0 BE MADE IN OHIO
WASHINGTON, March 4 (U. P). Department has announced preliminary details for construction of a $1,000,000 Govern-ment-owned gas mask charcoal plant at Fostoria, O,, to be operated by the National Carbon Co., Inc.

Liner’ s A
Is 227 M.P. H.
CHICAGO, March 4 (U. P).— Officials of United Air Lines said today a chartered United Mainliner yesterday flew from Chicago to Boston over a new 890-mile route in three hours and 55 minutes, an average speed of 227 miles per hour. The plane carried 17 members of the Boston Bruins hockey team. Aided by tail winds, it flew via Cleveland and Hartford, instead of New York, and bettered present Chicago-New York-Boston schedules by two hours and 35 minutes. United has an application pending action before the Civic Aeronautics Board for authority to fly the ‘ Cleveland-Hartford-Boston route regularly.
PARIS ROUSING FROM LETHARGY
City Begins to Talk Again, But Steers Clear of Political Topics.
(Jean A. Graffis, former Hoosier, now is Berlin representative of NEA Service. He returned briefly to Paris for the following story.)
By JEAN A. GRAFFIS Times Speé¢ial Writer PARIS, March 4.—The people of Paris are just getting to their feet and blinking the fog out of their eyes. For months after June 14, when destiny’s referee counted 10 over the fallen metropolis of France, the native Parisian lay in witless stupor. Best way to judge a Parisian’s ‘morale is to listen to him talk. During all that time, he had nothing to say. If you asked him, “What do you think of it all?” he replied only, “Who knows?” or “Don’t ask me, I've got the blues.” Today, announcements by the French and German officials in occupied France insist the patient is better and probably will pull through. If you want to feel something like. the old-time. Paris heart-beat again, get out among the people. Take Number 89 bus from suburban Peti Menage. Its first trip is at 5:30 a. m. on weekdays, carrying workers to factories on the southern fringe of Paris.
Comment, But Few Listen
On the swaying rear platform, the biting cold is warmed by the chatter of a dozen voices. Cigarets stuck to lower lips bob in the dark. Ribald stories bring loud guffaws. Jolting around a sharp corner, .a chorus leans out into the wind to tell the driver how to handle a bus. Suppose, at the end of the bus line,. you go back downtown by metro. Clerks, shopgirls, office workers are reading morning papers, commenting: on news items to anyone who will listen. Often no one listens, but what of it? A German soldier steps aboard and the Parsians inspect him as they always: inspect a newcomer —frankly, from head to foot. Then they forget him. At station stops, signs and posters still litter walls.
A Gabby, Gossip Crowd
It’s a gabby, gossipy crowd getting out downtown. Passengers pour into already crowded streets. The French seem blithe enough now, unstirred by the .stern element in their scene. In favorite restaurants, they sit complacently across from German officers, squawk mildly at higher prices. At the 6 p. m. bistro convention hour, your Parisian now unlimbers slightly more and may deliver some observations on politics. He is very careful, even among friends, not to go too far afield. It's almost hopeless to get him to say anything, pro or con, about England.
44 SCHOOLS ENTERED IN ESSAY CONTEST
Rules and regulations for Sheriff Al Feeney’s annual Essay Contest were sent today to the principals of 44 Marion County schools by Safety Deputy John ‘Dora. - Winning essays in each of three divisions in each school must be returned to Deputy Dora at the County Jail by March 15. The three groups are high schools, seventh and eighth grades, and fifth and sixth grades. Authors of winning essays in each group will be presented with gold, silver and bronze medals.
DRIVER ESCAPES AS ENGINE HITS TRUCK
George Peters, 28, of 3147 E. Washington St., was uninjured except for shock when a Nickel Plate railroad locomotive demolished the truck and trailer he was driving near Chicago early today. The wreckage of the Globe Cartage Co. truck was strewn along the tracks for 50 yards. It was bound from Louisville to Chicago. Mr. Peters reported the wreck by. phone to -the office here.
MONTEREY DEFEATS WATER BOND ISSUE
MONTEREY, Ind. March 4 (U, P.) —Residents of Monterey today rejected, 98 to 24, a proposal to issue bonds to help finance a $30,000 water system. Balloting on the question, conducted at the town hali, required little more than an hour and Election Board officails announced the result shortly after everyone had voted. Part of the money for financing the system was to have been fur-
nished by WPA.

U. S. WON'T APPEAL ON FORD DECISION
WASHINGTON, March 4 (U. P). —The Justice Department has decided, “subject to reconsideration,” not to appeal a Circuit Court decision holding that Henry Ford was
uting pamphlets to his employees criticizing labor unions, learned today. The National Labor Board had held that Mr. Ford's action consituted an unfair labor practice, a view which. was overruled by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals on grounds that it infringed the Constitutional rights
A high Justice Department official said that a definite decision on the subject of appeal has been reached and that the issue is virtually “dead” within the depart-

complained of pain and tightness in his chest but the physician believed this was due to the broken ribs which interferred with normal
breathing. Dr. McRae added that consciousness of pain was a sign that Capt. Rickenbacker was much better “both physically and mentally.” Dr. McRae said Capt. Rickenbacker’s temperature was. “nearly 100” and his pulse was 110. For breakfast, the patient ordered two soft boiled eggs and coffee, but no bacon—‘“because I don’t like bacon.” The prolonged shock and difficulty of breathing because of broken ribs had sapped Capt. Rickenbacker’s strength so that he fell into a comatose condition early yesterday. He

OTTAWA, 111, March 4 (U. P).— Dr. Friedrich A. Auhagen today de= scribed an indictment charging him . with failure to register as a paid publicity agent for the German Government as “all a mistake” and said he would go to New York and Washington “to’ explain things.” - Auhagen was arrested last night at La Salle, Ill, on a fugitive ware rant issued at Chicago after a Federal Grand Jury at Washington had . returned an indictment against him. He was brought to Ottawa for arraignment. He waived preliminary examination, was bound over to the * Grand Jury and then released on i bond of $5000, posted by Mr. and Mrs. Edward A.
