ee ---- Food Necessities Hawaii's Concern The roar of the Japanese at- tack on Pearl Harbor had scarcely died away before' Governor Jos, P. Poindexter reported by tele- phone to Samuel T, King, terri- orial delegate in Washington, that his only concern now sis to make safe the food supyly of Hawaii, U, C. Courtney writes in 'Collier's. «King immediately tried to have the Federal Government buy nearly $4,000,000 worth of food in the United States for the island's "reserve stocks, Starvation, not Jep planes or g"ns, is the real long-view spectre over Hawaii. If you have a tourist-poster notion of Hawaii as a lush pars. dise where all. you have to do is toss a packet of seeds out of the window and then forever after. ward pluck abundance' without moving from your porch rocker-- you're wrong, For our first-line Pacific outpost is strictly «» man- made Eden. It is net agricultur- ally self-sufficient. Seventy per cent of its total staple food ne- cessities, ninety per cent of its fruit, must be fetched in from other lands--chiefly from the continental United States, ' Haw- aii is really an industry--of pine- apple and sugar, A besieged community of more than a quarter million people, such as Honolulu, plus adjoining garrisons, cannot live long on pineapples and suger, Axis Libyan Army Gets French Wheat Supplies sent trom Franco to the German forces in Libya dur- gi December and January in- luded 5,500 tons of gasoline and viation fuel, a British Ministry of Economic Warfare official de-. clared. The official said that during 1941 nearly 2,000 trucks and pri- vate cars were sent from France to the Axis fo.ces, and that in a single three-month period Field Marsha' Erwin Rommel's forces were furnished with 12,000 tons of wheat--sufficient to feed ten divisions. The official said that ign Marseille to Tunis and Sfax, half- way between Tunis and the Tunis- fan-Libyan border, and that more are ready to sail. "Secret Listeners" Get Instructions In a renewed wipes to Pe peo- ple of Europe enrolled in the un- seen "V Army" against Hitler to "work slowly and work badly", Major Britton said in a broadcast from London not long ago that "ultimately this is a war of man- power." Tanks, guns and planes wil win the war, Major Britton re- minded the secret listencrs who tuned in their sets in defiance of the Gestapo throughout Europe. That gives the "V Army" a wea- | pon against the Nazis, he ex- plained." The next few months will be | vital in Europe. The Nazis can- not win unless they make Europe work for them. The answer to them -must be to work-as. 'slowly "and badly as possible," Russian Cavalry Harshly Trained The Russian cavalry is coming in for much praise just now. A ~ Pole who lived in Russia a long time writes: "The Russian caval- ry horses are small but tough and capable. of great exertion on lit- tle food. "When -a Russian peasant has bred a colt, he takes him for a two-hour gallop in winter and leaves him for a whole night in the cold to 'cool off'. If the horse dies of pneumonia, it was not worth keeping, If it survives, it makes a perfect mount for Russian Cossacks. This rather harsh treatment has existed since the 18th century. Napoleon learned it to his cost." Wild Rose "Hips" . = Source of Vitamin Even Britain's wild roses have been called on to do their part for the nation. Countrywomen, Boy Scouts, . @irl Guides and school children last fall searched Britain's hedge- rows and commons for the annual erop of "hips" --bright red fruit of the wild rose, Processed 'by manufacturers, 500 tons of this fruit has become a syrup 20 times richer fh Vitamin C than orange juice which now is scarce, This quantity will meet the re- quirements of 2,600,000 babies for a year. allowing 16 drops of syrup a day for each child, it is syrup is sufficient for a child for one, month, ~ .

Gas Rationing. A reduction of one-sixth in the basic gasoline ration for Febru ary, Marchand April- has-been anounced in London, England.

Scientific progress will do much to improve operating efficiency of the motor vehicle, and also will improve the highway, it is believ- ed, but the complete elimination of power losses cannot even' be imagined at the present time-- and probably not in the future, - FROST-CRACKED 'HIGHWAYS A recently developed and effec- tive method of preventing frost heaves from cracking and break- ing pavements relies on rock salt as a road base, both in new con- struction and in repair work and patching. freezing point of moist or water- logged soil, but it is no substitute for adequate drainage, excavation or backfill with granular mater- ial. Highway engineers in the Northeastern United States, as well as in Canada, report that practically no frost heaving has occurred on salt-treated sub- grades, even though the amount of salt incorporated in the soil is only five pounds per square yard of area. HOW CAN I? Q.--How can I make use of left-over oatmeal? A.--The cup or two of 'oatmeal whe from breakfast will make de- licious muffins for luncheon, To. one cupful of cooked oatmeal add™ one and a half cupfuls of flour, three tablespoons of sugar, four teaspoons of baking powder, a little salt, one egg, half a cupful of sweet milk and two tablespoon- fuls of melted butter, Bake in buttered gem pans in hot oven. Q.--How can I take proper care of the electric iron? A.--Make a habit of rubbing the electric iron once a week with paraffin, applied on a soft cloth. This will keep the iron clean and smooth. - Q.--How can r avoid "watery eyes when peeling onions? A.--It is said that a cork held between the teeth while peeling onions prevents the eyes from be- ing affected. Q.--How should tissue paper be used for dusting? A.--Tissue paper, slightly moi- stened, will remove dust easily. It is excellent for keeping a brass bed looking bright, also silver tol- let articles, mirrors and windows," It leaves no lint, and does not, of course, need to be washed when the work is done, but. simply burned. : Q.--With what should baked bananas be served?

Australia Mobilizes Men and Resources Prime Minister John Curtin an- ° nounced recently the war cabinet had been directed to mobilize all human and material resources in Australia for the defence of the commonwealth against the Japanese. Austalia was put on a full war footing in answer to Curtin's call for mobilization of the island con- tinent's manpower and resources. "That means clearly and spec- - ifically 'that every person in . this country is now at the service + of the government to work for the defence of Australia," he said, in a mobilization statement. "Only two things stand between us and the overthrow of every- we have and hope to have, These "are the heroism and fighting pow- er of our men going to battle and the industry, zeal and devotion of the men left behind." : In his statement on mobiliza- tion, Curtin said: "We have reached the stage when a new way of life is impel- led on us. All your leisure now --whether due to industrial regu- lation or your fortunate position --must be devoted to the service _of your fellow men . .. "The challenge has been flung down. Adversity has never cowed you, overwhelming odds have ne- ver intimidated you, and today I 'call on you to invoke all the best qualities of your ancestry. Go forth to the workshop and fac- tory to work there as long as you can stand."

We must search out the formulas for making our homes the havens of safety they. are mistakenly be- lieved to be." W. H. Cameron, managing- di. rector of the council, asserted *'in' 85 percent of all accidents there is a human failure of some kind." National Safety Council records show home accidents are second only to traffic mishaps as the na- tion's chief killer, .82,000 and 40,000 respectively in 1941, Farm accidents fatalities totalled 4,600 in 1940, making agriculture the nation's most dangerous industry.
