War-Time Living Six More States Remove Margarine Restrictions
By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, July 1—Six more states have wiped their restrictive taxes against margarine off their statute books. They are Oklahcma, California, Pennsylvania, Oregon, Iowa and New York, all of which have taken the action this vear.

Irritating Items
CIVILIAN supply may grant larger allocations of metal for manufacture of more small i items. like safety pins, razor blades, bobby pins and the like. These items don't take much metal, but shortages in these cause the largest amount of human irritation.
Having enough bobby pins will apparently keep more women happier than if the same amount of steel were put in one refrigerator to make one woman happy.

No War Model Cigaret
UNFOUNDED are the rumors that OPA is planning to eliminate cigaret brands or brand names, and to produce one war model cigaret. Sole object of OPA's interest is to control prices, through a survey now being conducted among industry and government men,

DELUXE SERVICE S UT FOR WAR
Housewives Asked to Sort The Outgoing Family Washing.
WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P) — Deluxe laundry services are out for the duration—that is, if the laundries want government help in washing the mountainous piles of dirty linen that have accumulated in recent weeks. War Manpower Commission Chairman Paul V. McNutt put it frankly to harassed launderers— eliminate the frills and the government will help ease the manpower situation in the laundry business. McNutt, working with the office of civilian requirements of the war production board, late yesterday told the laundries they would be given preferential hiring treatment by regional WMC directors provided they abided by a lengthy set of rules. Although new workers will be re- \
ferred to them and their present BLACKOUT ARRANGED

'Trying Weather Fills Up Doctors’ Waiting Rooms
in Wartime
By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS The weather really does have something to do with how you feel. It cannot be said to cause diseases—since diseases come from germs— But the weather can do much to the surroundings in which germs live. And of course the weather has a very definite psychological effect on
most persons.
A prolonged spell of steady rain, or a protracted heat wave present
forcibly the subject of weather |
and its effect on health and morale. A long stretch 81 trying weather as most doctors will agree, has | a way of filling up the physician’s waiting room over and beyond the normal numbers. Several phys{cal components = go to make up Dr. Masters the term “weather.” Temperature, humidity, motion of the air, and pressure all enter into this complex subject people are so fond of bandying about in conversation. The body actually responds to all these factors, and to combinations of them.
Body Reacts
Apart from the popularly khown fact that persons afflicted with arthritis and rheumatism are extremely sensitive to weather changes, even perfectly well people are aware of the cold, moist air that seems to “chill the bone.” and have observed that pneumonia fourishes in such conditions. People generally are most comfortable in a temperature of about 73* P.—or about 68° F. if they are mentally or physically active. Extreme heat is easier to withstand than extreme cold—a statement for which we have the record of greatest death rates in the
tl 2 :
gestion or a slowing up of the circulation of the blood through the tissues, whereas high temperatures speed up circulation and the flow of blood to the arms and legs. In “muggy.” humid weather, the perspiration of the body cannot evapbrate readily, and when the humidity is low the bodywater evaporates very rapidly and causes a chilling sensation.
High humidity also favors the spread of bacterial growth and virus diseases, since all need moisture to multiply.
Air Absorbs Moisture
Furthermore, the droplets sneezed or coughed into the air by infected people are held in suspension in the air much longer in damp weather than in dry. Sixty-five per cent humidity is about ideal for good health and comfort. The motion of the air cools the skin by absorbing the moisture. From one to three miles an hour draft and cools the body satisfactorily, as wel! as carrying bacteria to higher levels so that the rays of the sun may kill them. The weight of the air as fit presses against the earth varies greatly according to altitude, the jowlands meaning an increased amount of pressure. Normal people may have trouble in the mountains with giddiness and lightheadedness—which is called “mountain-sickness.” On the other hand, too sudden release from heavy pressure close to or in the earth can cause muscular pain, as
winter months as authority. Cold temperatures promote con-
in caisson disease, or the “bends.”
Drying Method in Foodstuff Preparation Is Economical
There are ways of preserving foods other than canning. Drying of foodstuffs is economical and satjefactory for many fruits and vegetables. It cannot, however, improve quality. Fresh, ripe, firm ahd clean foods are necessary for good prodwets. One spoiled fruit or vegetable may give the entire lot an unde-
girable flavor. Some vitamin value is lost in drying, although this loss is reduced by blanching. The time required for drying depends on the condition of the air as to (1) dryness, (2) temperature and (3) circulation. If the temperature is too high early in drying, the product's surface begomes over-dried and consequently delays the drying of the interior.
Two Ways of Drying
For best results drying temperatures should be from 100 degrees to 150 degsees F., and proper circulation should be provided so that moisture is removed as fast as it is given off from inside the product. Wire or slat trays allowing air to circulate under as well as over the product are best. Two methods of drying are: Bun Drying—A hot sun, free cireulation of air and frequent stirring dries corn, pumpkin, squash, berries and other products rich in sugar and starch very well under favorable weather conditions. For rapid sun drying place tray on a glanting metal, roof or over a sheet of metal or some material that will reflect the heat. Raise tray just enough to permit free circulation of fir beneath. Cover trays with glass
or cheesecloth stretched and tacked survi
to the frame to exclude dust and | insects. Oven Drying — Leave oven door open and watch the food carefully [to prevent scorching. Very little fire |is required. Dry products in pans or ‘on trays of wire netting.
Make Own Drier
A small drier may IV made from |an apple box or packing box made {of thoroughly dried wood. Remove

lon the inside of the box. Hinge the |g ced
end to the box for a door. Strengthen the door end with additional cleats. Place strips of galvanized sheet metal six inches wide at the bottom for a base to stand on the stove and also to direct the heat into the drier, This drier is usually used on a coal or wood range. It may be used on other type stoves if a heat spreader is suspended by wire four inches below the lowest tray. Very little heat is neccesary. Another method of food preservation is the freezing of fruits and vegetables. In some areas this is possible if quick-freezing facilities permit. The quality of frozen fruits and vegetables is controlled by many sactors, beginning with the selection of the variety and continuing through planting, culture, harvesting and subsequent handling. Freezing, unlike canning, does not sterilize the product, Mut the low temperature prevents farmful yeasts, molds and bacteria from growing and developing. Many of these are killed by freezing storage, but some ve.

J. $. MAY BUY POTATO CROP
Food Experts Subsidy Plan to Avoid Shortage in "44.
WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. P)— Plans to avert a potato shortage early in 1944, which otherwise might be more severe than the one early this year, were under study today by government food experts. One plan, it was understood, is a modified version of the subsidy program used in Great Britain. The government would purchase the entire potato crop and sell it to shippers, wholesalers and retailers. In each step the government would fix the maximum prices whith could be charged up to the time the potatoes reach the consumer, The difference between what the grower was assured, plus the margin of profit allowances to retailers and wholesalers, and a hold-the-line price charged consumers would represent the amount of loss to the government,

with early potatoes and the war food administration is campaigning to encourage increased consumpstion. An administration source said several remedial plans are under consideration, and added that final decision will be influenced by the outcome of the current struggle be= tween President Roosevelt and congress on the use of government subsidies to hold the price line. Similar plans, it was said, could be applied to the 1943 onion crop.

ODT TIGHTENS TAXICAB RULES
Trips Restricted to 10
Miles Beyond Cities of 10,000 or More.
WASHINGTON, July 1 (U. PD. —The office of defense transportation today issued revised regulations for drivers and riders of taxi cabs desighed to curtail waste mileage so that essential service may be maintained.
Taxi trips henceforth will be restricted to 10 miles beyond the corporate limits of towns of 10,000 or more population. Trips from towns of less than 10,000 people are limited to 25 miles beyond the limits as defined in a previous order. The order cuts out a possibility of relay service by forbidding persons to transfer to another cab when they reach the 10 or 25-mile limits.
Pooling Encouraged
The order provides that competing operators may submit plans for joint use of equipment and concessions; for pooling or dividing traffic, service and revenues, and for alternating or staggering service. Group cab riding is required where local or state governments have authorized it. Cruising is prohibited. The number of cabs operated hy any person or company may not be increased over the number on Sept. 1, 1942. Cab operation is restricted to those in business on that date.
Accuse Husband Of Killing Wife
Jones Robert Banks, 43, Negro, was charged with murder today after the knife and hammer slaying last night of his wife, Rebecca, 37, after a series of arguments over money and their two children who witnessed the slaying. Banks, according to police, wens to his home twice last night. Une able to gain entry the second time, he forced his way in. He obtained a knife and 4-pound hammer and cut his wife several times, across the breast and neck. He pursued her to the front porch and cut her again, then fole lowed her as she staggered across the street and beat her to death with the hammer. Leaving her body and hammer besice it, Banks walked to police headquarters, surrendered and made a signed confession, detectives say. The children who saw the killing were Juanita, 17, and Jones Robert JE, 11. Banks operated a poultry store on Indiana ave.
