WASHINGTON. - The United States and Great Britain revealed t^iat Allied and neutral countries lost S;788 merchant ships from the start of the war in September, 1939, * to the and of 1943. The losses, an average of between three and four a day, included 753 American vessels. ^ . The report listed no losses beyond the end of 1943, but an unofficial United PraM tabulation showed at Sail It lotfaaa for '*hir year, 13 of cm American ships. This would raise totail losses to 5,775. Included in the official repot were losses from marine risks as well as from action by all enemy instrumentalities. No separata breakdown waa given for any enemy weapon, including the most-telling-- the U-boat that accounted for hundreds of thousands of tons of shipping before the Allies gained mastery of tha sea. Though «ha total number of ships sunk since tha start of * the war-- 5,758--is staggering, an encouraging fact is that American shipyards j*lone since .1939 have built 4,308 vessels, with a deadweight tonnage of 44,082,000. The black year of the Allied merchant fleet was 1942, when 1,859 ships totaling 8,338,000 gross tons were lost. This included 422 American ships aggregating 2,053,000 tons and British losses of 782 vessels totaling 3,696,000 too?. In 1043, the report showed, losses dropped to 812 ships totalling 3,646,- 000 tons. U. S. losses were 234 ships, representing 1,049,000 gross tons, while the British lost 361 ships with a gross tonnage of 1,678,000. While the United States did not enter the war until after the attack on Pearl I^arbor, December 7, 1941, American ship losses began with the *tart of the war in Europe in 1939. Four were lost in 1939; 32 in 1940, jnd 61 in 1941, although most of these presumably went down after hostilities began in December. Twelve Naval Ships a Day Are Now Being Launched NEW ORLEANS. -- Rear Adm. Frederick G. Crisp, director of the navy division on shore establishments and civilian personnel, disclosed that "twelve ships a day now are sliding down out ways." Admiral Crisp, speaking at a meeting of the Metal Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, said that the navy's production program "is still increasing and we expect to have as many persons working on navy work vsix months from now as we have today. Our battle of production," he added, "will end only with the defeat of Japan." He said this hation's fleet "as late' Rudy to wear complete with radionic tubes, crystal microphone magnetic earphone, batteries and battery- aaver circuit. Liberal guarantee.

Dur^ ing the year, 1,126 trespassers were injuied. While there was a material increase in locomotive miles ancf tonnage handled, the number of fatalities to trespassers on railroad prop- *£ty in 1943 showed a reduction of 258 compared with 1942,, and a decrease of 222 in the number of trespassers injured. The almost complete elimination of unemployment and> the increase in,the member of minors working full or part time in war and allied industries have all had a bearing on the decrease in the number of trespassers on railroad property. Reports just received by the Protective section show that approximately 584,000 illegal train riders or trespassers jyere removed from trains, prevented from getting on trains, or ejected from railroad premises, but not arrested, by 76 of the principal xailroads of the country in 1943. Tnis was an average of 48,600 trespassers per month. Lest we forget--During the Red Cross drive, thoughts go back to the first chapter organized in McHenry. We understand that about the time of the first World War, the Red Cross was-organized in Stoffel's hall. The Stoffel family was always a very patriotic and civic minded one lind did all they could' to help the cause. Mrs. . Jack Walsh;4 mother: of SIH, 'was elected active chairman, and Julia Stoffel (Mrs. C. J. Reihansperger), as secretary. Miss Stoffel was succeeded by Laura Holtz and later Mrs. James Sayler. Mrs. Walsh says that meetings were held in the city hall every Friday. Most of the jewing, however, 'was done in-the homes. The hardest period Mrs. Walsh experienced were "tK^d^pression years, when, in order to meet the demands, Mrs. Walsh's husband leiit a hand; placed a heater in a shed on* their lot and worked very hard getting material and garments out to St. Louis. About four years ago Monsignor Nix offered' a room in the school for sewing, and that room is still the lociis of Red Citoss activities. In that room hangs a lovely picture of a Red Cross nurse, the gift of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Laures. ' : About four years ago, lest we forget, diligent workers came, when driving a car was impossible, ail the way from McCullom Lake in all kinds of weather and our hats are off to them. Yes, we are referring to Mrs. Bill Schlitt and Mrs. Frank Beatty. We haven't forgotten Lottie Bransford, either, who came in all the way from Lily Lake. There are other names that should be here, too, but space does not permit. However, our appreciation for their assistance and the grand turnout of first class work • in all departments, including I the later organized surtrical dressings, is something that McHenry is noted for. Thanks to a generous donor, pur baby buggy has arrived. Now we have need of a sewing machine. Since most of the urgent work is on hospital bags, we are dependent upon machines. Mrs. Gorman would ap-™ preciate it if someone could lend .a machine for a few weeks. Helen Dobyns assisted last Wednesday in the morning hours. Elena Blake, Dorothy Nickels and Martha Feltz assisted also. Mrs. Nickels and Mrs. Feltz have been at their posts every week with Mrs. Gorman and are turning out elegant work. MRS. HUGH MURPHY, Scribe. as July, 1940/* (jonsiated of "a handful of only 383 ,pombat ships," adding : 7" "Bf contrast, look at what we have today. Wa have on hand more than 1,155 combatant ships and a newborn armada of 45,207 landftig craft, not to mention 5,000 smaller vessels and 34,071 aircraft. . The United States has built the greatest sea-ait power on earth and 12 ships a day are now sliding down our ways." *•' . ' $133,931,513 It Repaid By Britain on U. S. Loan WASHINGTON. -- Great Britain has made payments of $133,931,513 on her loan from the Reconstruction Finance corporation. Reporting this recently the RFC said the bulk of this, $120,457,037, came from interest and dividends earned by securities pledged as collateral, while $13,474,476 represented proceeds from the sale of some of the securities.""'" A total loan of $425,000,000 was authorized in July, 1941, but only $390,000,000 actually has been delivered. The RFC said that of the payments made through October 1, about $94,- 300,000 has been applied on principal, leaving the amount outstanding about $295,700,000.

Clark, war housing manager. He has had property owneri'impose these restrictions in listing apartments or houses for rent: "No smokers or drinkers allowed." "Only members of Baptist church wanted." "Man and wife only and both must be employed on swing shift."

Manganese sulphate in the mineral mixture prevents a "goose step" action in the hind legs.

' 'Elm Leaf Beetia The elm leaf beetle is about a quarter of an inch long, a dull olive green with an indistinct black stripe on each side and yellow antennae and legs. They feed on the leaves of elm trees in the spring and early summer and seek winter shelter soon after mid-July. Often they CQtne indoors in> large numbers. If you are bothered by them, make a careful search of places where tHfey might enter--the chimney, spaces under the eaves or behind the clapboarda or shingles--and inspect windows to see if they are getting in through spaces where the screens do not lit snugly. If it is the chimney, you can screen the top or tie several thicknesses of cheesecloth over it until September. Deep Well The world's deepest hole, drilled by the Phillips Petroleum company, near Fort Stockton, west Texas, became ^ an oil well at a depth of 15,279 feet. It was completed recently after two years of drilling. The details of the task were revealed in an issue of "Mining and Metallurgy." A total of 467 drill bits were used, 20- inch ones for the top and 7.75-inch for the bottom. The pipe lining the well weighs' 156 tons. Two pockets of high pressure gas were encountered, one at 11,556 and another at 12,832 feet. The temperature at the bottom of the well is between 235 and 240 degrees Fahrenheit, or more than hot enough to boil water at surface pressures. The pressure at the bottom is 2,800 pounds a square inch, or about 200 atmospheres. "Windows ana^^Bs--8htm!fl be closed early in tHffibrning to shut out the heat Ventilation is best secured by electric fans unless the outside temperature is lower than in the house. Because dark window shades absorb heat and re-radiate it into the room, white blinds are more effective than black or green ones, he added. Even with awnings, it is still wise to keep windows closed, because heat can be caught under the awnings and transferred into the room. Light clothing of light color is recommended as a protection against heat. Dark colored" sports clothes are undesirable for comfort because they absorb heat. While lying down or stretching out in a comfortable chair are more generally accepted methods of relaxation on hot days, standing is the best way to cool off because the body loses heat mo^^eadily when exposed to air:; ^ : -- „ Onion X)dK If you have been peeling onions and company comes," rub a little dry mustard on your hands, then rinse it off.
