Poisoned Air Is Killing Chickens Death Losses Great Among Brooder Poultry. >: DENVER.--The reason for the ifleaths of thousands of young ftocky mountain turkeys and chickens necfessary to the food production program, was solved recently by a bacteriologist in the U; S. bureau of "Minimal industry. V. Farmers and growers in a wide- Spread area in the Rocky Mountain Tregion recently reported unprecedented death losses among their, brooder poultry. It was at first believed to have been a strange disease. but examination disclosed that . Kll poultry seemed healthy. Dr. George W. Stiles of the bureau ' |Kf animal industry made an inspection of a ' large brooder hatchery Bear Denver and found that the poultry had been dying, not of a Strange disease, but of carbon monoxide poisoning. Dr. Stiles explained that the overhanging canopy of dampness accompanying a wet spell in the weather, Repressed the air in many poorly Ventilated hatcheries and shut off normal air circulation. When flame- • .type brooders were used, the oxygen ih the brooder house quickly became exhausted and the chicks were killed by the poisonous air. Better Trap? No, Knife, It Brings Fame to Maker CINCINNATI, OHIO.--The old Saying that if you "build a better mousetrap than your neighbor the world will beat a path to your door" applies also to knives. At least that is what Walter D. ftandall Jr., a former Cincinnatian, lias found. Because of a knife he designed for an army colonel en route to Africa several months ago, Randall has been deluged with requests from Uncle Sam's fighting men tor an "all-purpose fighting knife." Five years ago Randall took time out from managing his family's orange groves in Florida to make a hunting knife from a discarded auto ^Spring. A friend admired it and promptly received it as a gift. This Was repeated several times and it was two years before Randall was sble to keep a knife for his own use. Friends on hunting trips reported the knives excellent and when the war came, an army colonel who had seen one of Randall's knives on the Mojave desert, asked him to make a knife for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife designed by the youth had a small hilt, double-edged razor sharp blade, and is so balanced that it can be thrown in a straight line. It has a chamois thong by which the knife can be attached to the wrist. Only one thing worries Randall, /fie is strictly a one-man factory, Working 18 hours a day and in addition has difficulty obtaining materials. Tells of Yanks Eating Lizards, Parrots in Trap ;• CHICAGO --A 19-day diet of lizards, parrots, taro root and some rice which had been left in sacks .around Japanese gun emplacements pras almost as bad as enemy opposition for the first marines who landid on Florida island in the Southwest Pacific, Private Gilbert F. O'Boyle, 19 years old, a veteran of that landing, disclosed here. Lizard meat was tough, he said, the parrot flesh was diseased and 'Slack and the rice wasn't very good. •The company went ashore with two days' provisions, Private O'Bcyle j said, and was forced to eat its un- * pleasant diet after the Japs drove! Supply ships away. I Private O'Boyle is now home on sick leave after suffering shrapnel wounds and contracting malaria on the Pacific front. He is a graduate < Of Senn high school and joined the j marines January 26, 1942, "because | I'm Irish and wanted to fight quick." He went overseas July 1, 1942, and was in the combat area seven { months.

Use leftovers from a roast with a few fresh vegetables and gravy to tuck inside the flaky piecrust. Short on red points at the end of the week? There are several answers to the problem and I'm devoting the column to those suggestions today. It's a good idea to be smart in your ust of leftovers, and this is particularly true if you've splurged at the beginning of the week by p u r c h a s i n g a roast. After using the roast twice, you still have a bit of meat left oh the bones, and if you fix it with an eye to camouflage, you can have a savory meal out of it. Best way of extending meat when there's little enough of that is by using vegetables generously. Cut off what pieces of meat you can find on the bone and combine these with some lovely, fresh-cooked vegetables such as carrots, peas, onions, potatoes and perhaps a few strips of green pepper for flavor. Combine all together with some of your favorite seasonings and tuck the whole mixture into these individual meat pies. In this way, your leftovers won't languish in the refrigerator. Making Meat Pies. Sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and % teaspoon salt. Cut into this % cup lard with spatula and work until the particles are the size of a small pea. S^nkle 4 tablespoons water over the mixture, working it lightly with a fork until all the particles are moistened and in small lumps. Press dough into a ball, handling as little as possible. Flour board lightly. Divide pastry in half, roll lightly to an eighth-inch thickness. Using a 3%-inch pie plate, cut circles from pastry. Cut %-inch wedge from circle to insure better fit into muffin tins. Press the pastry lightly to fit tins and lap over wedge. Fill with meat • Vegetable mixture. Roll out remaining dough, cut in circles to fit over top of each muffin tin. Press edges of crust together. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees) 35 minutes. Remove from tins and serve hot.

It's important to plan your day ahead so that it runs smoothly and so there will be a minimum of confusion--for that always makes weather hotter. Dress cool, eat cool. Dress sensibly, keeping plenty of clean summer clothes on nand--things that can be done up with soap and water in a hurry and need little ironing. Crispy salads--even in the imagination--cool you oft, and of course, frosty drinks. Do your hot kitchen work in the cool morning hours. Make whatever preparations you can on the food front and store in' the refrigerator, ready to pull out for dinner with a minimum of rush and hurry. Keep things simple, and you'll keep cool.
