by EARL R. WALSH Man and boy we "have had the habit of salting oar food before tasting: it. This ljabit has brought down many a protest. "How do you know it needs salt?"--"Doctors claim that too much salt givel in hardening of the arteries." While the following information, compiled by the Worcetser Salt Co., settles none of our probleiflLfc, it was interesting to an old salt fancier who believes that salt should be poured freely--except on wounds! / * Salt, to most of us, is just common mineral used to add taste appeal to food. But to primitive man it was a luxury--and still is in spots of central Africa. The Bpman Army issued salt to efficers and men. It was regarded as an allowance of money--called a "salarium." Hence our word "salary" and the expression "worth his •alt." : . . ' ;y The Ethiopians stUl use salt for money. During the Italian invasion, hunters refused Italian- currency-'• would accept only salt for skins. An egg-size chunk would buy a chicksn. In pioneer America, salt was a problem--had to be, carried laboriously over perilous routes from At. lantic ports or distant springs. In some places the price was $10.00 a bushel. Today salt is a plentiful commodity. The U. S. has an inexhaustible supply in our vast deposits. Fifteen million tons were produced in 1944. While thousands of tons are used annually by food industries and in the home, by far the largest percentage of salt is consumed in industrial processes. Until recently that meant the wait effort. Here are some ot the things we'd have to do without if it weren't for salt and its der/ra'ives: Rayon--toothpaste--sulfa drugs -- dyes and bleaches--grease solvents-- fumigants--refrigerators. Salt is used to preserve lumber: to cure-glides; to set dyes in fabric; to harden steel. Salt played an important part in the war--was used in the manufacture of airplanes, tanks, jeeps, synthetic rubber and high-teat gasoline. And finally, salt Is necessary to life itself. It is a component of the gastric jukes without which neither the human or animal body could digest food. When we think of scientists, we often picture a bearded old guy who has been in seclusion for yean. That's why we the average worked- to develop' is 24 years. Now here's a performance by one of the frail jer that makes us sit up and take notice. Marion Krause bowled a 563 series at Schaefers'. A 212 game featured the performance. mm • ou Begers, 021 To remove deads bmn painted walla and tarniture, ply a com- _ . j merteal fingernail polish remover.

He bought a hunting license. Some fisherman are disappointed in learning that you cannot locate, schools of fish by using radar. Go bock to the book, boys! The cute little dish is seldom any good in the kitchen.--Hig. The city slicker, fascinated by the sight of an old man sacking eggs in a grocery store, asked, "Do you know how many eggs in a doxen?" The. worker allowed that he didn't. "Then how do you know how many you're putting in the sack?" Replied the old man: "I can count up to nine , and then I just add 8 more eggs."--Forum. A SPORTS enthusiast asks this one: "What man in football, player or coach, would you pick as the top of the long list in the way of influence upon his team and the game itself?" Oddly enough this is easy to answer. His brilliant career came to-an end on March 31, 1931, over 14 years ago, when they picked his broken body out of a wrecked plane in the midwest, The name is Knute Rockne. I know the lasting influence that such men as Yost, Zuppke, Haughton, Grange, Bierman, Little and many others have had. I know what these men, and othors, ha*e meant to football. But I still say Rockne. Starting as head coach back in 1917 whoi Notre Dame wais well down the football list, Rockne in the next 14 years made Notre Dame the synonym for football greatness, from Los Angeles to Naw York and Baltimore-- from Chicago to Atlanta. Facing a killing schedule of 10 games year after year, his winning record was, a phenomenal thing. But Rockne's winning record was only a small part of the job he did. Almost from the start he gave his squads the finest spirit, year after year, that I have seen. It wasn't so much a matter of gameness, which most football players have. It was a matter of keeness, alertness, smartness, condition and love of the game. He gave his men a brand of sportsmanship that has never been questioned. An Inspiration , 1 have never seen • Notre Dame player under Rockne's reign who was not in superb physical condition, barring only those injured in play or practice. He had Jlne material as a rule, but a good part of this was due to the fact that many budding stars wanted to come to Notre Dame and play dnder the baldheaded Norwegian. Strictly as a football coach on the technical side, it would be difficult to rank Rockne above such men as Pop Warner, Hurry-up Yost, Percy Haughton, Beraie Bierman and others who had exceptional coaching careers in their various primes. Eedoae was a fine eeaeh, tat hardly the greatest. It was the taapira- TOO LATE TO OLASMT?" Ladiee 9 o'clock-- AlthofFs Hardware, 2 -- The Fox Hole, 1. M. Yegge, 415; A. Freund, 450; E.

The dentist was called away on business, so he sent for the receptionist and said: "I am going to be away for 10 days. You will find a little present in your room." She went in and found 10 apples. Glad to see Paul Schwerman up and around. He has had a long seige of hospitalization, but hasn't forgotten how to smile.

Army's scout for Notre Dame games filed this report to the head coach. "Whatever you do, toko tho kiekoff starting the third period, tit yon can. Don't lot Notre Dame get the ball right after they have listened to Rockne between halves. I've found out what that meana." Tho advice was overlooked. Army kicked off to start the second half and a Notre Dame back on the first play thereafter ran 76 yards for a touchdown with practically every Army defender flat on the back of his nock from the blocking thit followed. * Knew Human//"Natwm I also recall this--when a big game was being played by Notre Dame in either New York of Chicago, visiting coaches sometimes numbering 10 or 12, immediately headed for Rockne's room. They all wanted to visit with Rock, who also had a keen sense of humor, a gift for repartee and what it takes to supply cheerful, friendly entertainment. Rock's personality was always an outstanding feature. He knew human nature, how to handle men, including his famous top sergeant, the redoubtable Hunk Anderson, who on occasions was about as easy to handle as a Bengal tiger or a Numidian lion. Something like 80 of his players left Notre Dame to coach at other colleges. But it wasn't so much the Notre Dame shift or . other part of the Rockne system uat such coaches as Frank Thomas, Harry Mebre, Elmer Layden, Buck Shaw, Jimmy Crowley, Harry Stuhldreher, Rip Miller, and many, many others carried to their tesms. It was more the Rockne contribution in the way of condition, spirit and smsrtness. I have seen many slightly dumb football teams. 1 never saw a dumb Notre Dame team that I can now recall. It is for these and other reasons that I, rank Rockne on top when it comes to his influence upon the game--not only when he was alive, but 14 years after his death. ' t • • • --- Best Football Section The football query most , Often asked by servicemen is this: "Which section of the country turns out the strongest football teams, taking a general average year after year?" The only answer we could offer was that it° is the Midwest. When you have a section year after year that can turn out such teams as Notre Dame, Michigan. Minnesota, Ohio State, HUpois, Wisconsin, Iowa, you have a nfass of gridiron taient that is hard to beat. 4SS: Victory Stilling* **66," 8 -- Harrisons, 0. D. Schaefer, 482; E. Freund, 417.
