HOW BUREAUCRATS ADD TO GOVERNMENT COST IT HAS NOT been so long since the year 1900 was written off the pages of Time. Our men now fighting on the far-flung battlefields of a global war do not remember that year, but we elders, who must remain on the home front, can recall it quite vividly. We were then a Ration of some 110 . million people; we had just completed a small war with Spain; Admiral Dewey was still a national hero; the controversy as to whether Admiral Schley or Admiral Sampson destroyed the Spanish fleet at Santiago was still going strong; we had a very considerable number of civil war veterans still with us and were paying what we then considered large sums for/pensions; we talked of the millions/of government expenditures wiUput muchs realization of what imilipns meant; our political battles were waged Over high or low tariffs and more economy in Federal government operations. In that year of 1900 the Federal government had spent the fabulous sum of $520,861,000, for which the Democrats roundly condemned a Republican administration for wild extravagance. At what we considered an excessive cost that vast sum had provided what we believed was all the government we needed or wanted. It had not provided "frills," unless the $140,788,000 paid out as pensions could be considered a "frill." It had included $190,728,000 for the army and navy, then fighting a war in the Philippines. The greatest complaint was based on the $149,096,000 cost of civilian Federal expenditures. < By 1940 we had grown to a nation of 130 million people; we Were not at war, and had not, np to that time, begun any extensive preparation for war; we had added many "frills" to our federal governmental system, and in that year of 1940 the fed- ' eral government expenditures amounted to $8,998,190,000 -- more than 16 times the cost of operating the federal government in 1900, more than 1Z times the cost of 1910 when the total had been $693,617,000. We were finding "frills" an expensive luxury. Far more expensive than we were paying for as a going ' concern. Of that $8,998,190,000, only $5,028,000,000 was paid from taxes, and $3,970,190,000 was left as a debt for our children to pay. "Frills" were ^ proving not alone a burden for the generation of >1940 but for generations as yet unborn. As we elders think back to those years of 1900 and 1910 we cannot measure any special improvement in government. We have now an army of more than three million theoretical bureaucrats to regulate and regiment us; they tell us what we may sow and reap, what we must pay and charge; what reports to make to government detailing our activities as individuals and groups. We did not have these things in 1900 or 1910. Yes, we have far more government, but not more acceptable or needed government, than we had in those good old days of a short third of a century ago. As individuals the cost ip 1900 was $20 for each man, woman and child of us. For 1940 the cost had gone up to $300 for each of us without a compensating improvement that we can see or understand. • * BRAND LABELING HAS MANY MERITS CONGRESS HAS SAID, as definitely as words can express it, that there shall be no change from brands to grades in the marketing of processed or manufactured products. Congress proposes that we shall continue to buy by name the foods, the clothes, the household appliances, the cars and other things as we have been doing over many, many years. That we will not be forced to make our choice between grades A, B and C. But the radical, state socialistic minded, attorneys employed by OPA do hot accept as final the edicts of congress; they do not believe that congress, elected by the people, knows what is best for the nation. They know, or think they do, what is best for us, and their purpose is to circumvent i the laws of congress and give us grades instead of brands. If they ! succeed you will buy a grade A, B or C car; your clothes will be of \ grade A, B or C; you will eat grade 1 A, B or C food. If they succeed it j will be easier for government to take ; over production and distribution, 1 .and that is the end toward which j they are aiming. * • * * | EACH ONE OF THE MORE than i 130 millions of people, men, women j and children, in these United States, owed just $53 more on July 30 than I they did on June 30, 1944. That $53 represented each individual's share | of the increase in the national debt j in that one month. The total for I each one, as of July 30, 1944, was $1,510. For the average family of j five it means a total of $7,550, and I that is by no means the end. It will ; be paid through the toil and sacrifice j of the present and future genera- ! tions. Continents . Seven (rand land divisions now regarded as continents--Europe, Asia, Africa, South America, North America, Australia and Antarctica. Greenland, being entirely separated by water . from North America and being much smaller than any of the continents named, is often referred to as an islandcontinent, although a few geogra- gtiers classify It as a separate con* nent. . Destroy Pirates Th« two most notorious piratfelf i© frequent the coast of North Carolina-- Edward ^Teach (Blackbeard) and Stede Bonnet, were both run to earth by out-of-state authorities. Governor Eden of North Carplina and other officials were suspected of being in league with the freebooters. In 1718, Virginia sent two ships into North Carolina, and they caught Blackbeard Off Ocraeoke and destroyed him; two months earlier, South Carolina sent Col. William Rhett into the Cape Fear river, where he surprised and captured Boi ' * Thawing Juices JB thawing fruit juices to retain the original flavor, it is important to thaw the juice quickly, keeping the temperature below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.«If there is no hurry, juice may be ihawed in the refrigerator. Small watertight cartons and cans of juice can be thawed by placing them in cold running water and shaking frorp time to time to mix contents. This takes about 15 to 30 minutes. VOLO Speeds Vulcanization Why copper speeds vulcanization is still a mystery. If a very small -proportion of ordinary 300 mesh copper powder is added to properly compounded Buna S synthetic, and the mix is vulcanized in a mold in a laboratory press under standard conditions, this addition of copper will shorten the time of vulcanization to less than one-half the normal time. " « » What there is about copper that is responsible for this fact is unknown, but the observation itself has been repeated a hundred times. The proportion of copper may be as little as 0.01 per cent by weight on the synthetic rubber, or it may be as much as 1 per cent of the rubber; it doesn^t make any difference, the result is the same in all cases. Paralysis in Poultry FoWl paralysis has been eliminated in flocks which are free of such insects as red mites, bedbugs, bluebugs, fleas, lice and other bloodsucking insects. As most blood-sucking animals are carriers of fowl paralysis, complete spraying, dusting and proper sanitation methods will go a long way toward keeping the flocks free of fowl paralysis. Fowl paralysis is often described as J "glass eyes," gray eyes, pearl, etc. | As it usually requires about seven i months before the eyes are colored, J the ill effects of paralysis will have | got in its worse licks before the eye | test would indicate the presence of ! fowl paralysis. In young chicks, the ! pupil cannot be distinguished from S the iris. After seven months there ! is a slight decrease in the in- ! tensity of the color of the iris, pal- I ing, which becomes noticeable in j h e a v y l a y e r s . A c o n s t i t u t i o n a l d e - j feet or other diseases will also result in change in eye color. On account of this reason it is not always possible to determine the presence of fowl paralysis by the eye test alone. Citric Acid From BeetiL •Citric Acid, commonly used as a flavoring material in soda pop and various foodstuffs, can be made by using molds to ferment beet molasses under a process in operation. In the past, such fermentations have been successful only on pure sugar. The process of converting beet molasses into citric acid is fairly efficient when carefully conducted. It is necessary to use a selected strain of Aspergillus niger mold. Results are best when the medium has a neutral reaction, contains 15 per cent sugar and is kept at a temperature of 86 degrees F. - Cane molasses, unlike beet molasses, cainot r>e successfully converted into citric «cid by t'"1 " .'hoa. . > •• Cotton' Bags UMfW: v More than a billion and a quarter yards of cotton cloth is used each year to make bags for flour, fead and other agricultural products. Aa the manufacturers of cotton bags are now the biggest individual consumers of cotton, and with every indication that they will continue to be, it is essential that these bags be saved. While it is not practical to return the bags, the cotton organizations are urging the housewife to utilize them in every way possible. They may be used as dishtowels, luncheon sets, after some fancy work has been added; curtains for back rooms; aprons, and some of the material may be worked into playsuits. It h&? been pointed out that many of the patterns appearing in local papers can utilize the cotton bags. Where it is possible to return the bags to local dealers this should be done. In most cases the consumers are paying a deposit on Buch bags. (By Mrs. Lloyd Fisher) ' Miss Marian Wirtz spent the weekend in Chicago with Dr. and Mrs. H. J. Highgate.

Order at Cooking With Dried Eggs Although the wartime egg-drying industry sprang up largely because the dried product is easier to ship to our armed forces, it seems likely that dried eggs have enough merit to compete for the favor of housewives after the war. Indications are that dried egg powder tends to deteriorate somewhat in storage, particularly if occasionally expose^ to the air. Samples kept at room temperature for six weeks become less soluble, more acid, and developed "off" flavors. Under refrigeration, egg powder kept as well for five months as it did at room temperature for six weeks. Improved methods of packaging should result in a better keeping product. Little retail packaging experimental work will be undertaken until after the war, as desirable packaging material is not at present available.
