Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, today made public the official War Bond Quotas by States for
4m .memth of July, which places the nabob on a Billion-dollar-a-month basis to aid in meeting the War cost. The above
tiivt also gives May War Bond sales in the various states in comparison to the May Quotas. (June sales by states will be
awdusble for publication shortly.) The percentage of Quotas range from 71.3 percent above quota in Utah, to 22.6 percent
khrw the quota in Montana, but puts the nation as a whole above the $600,000,000 total May quota. Vulnerable Alaska
ami Hawaii led all states in sale of War Bonds on quota basis.
“■ Everybody, every pay day ten percent” is the Treasury slogan which is expected to place one of the attractive new
winr&ow stickers in every American home. "We’re Buying at Least 10%” reads the sticker, printed in the national col
n»s. 'The new window stickers and the new “10%” lapel button, which indicates the wearer is investing at least ten per
•ml- tM hi* income in War Bonds every pay day, are yardstick* of patriotism in the War Bond drive.

Greeley’s Writing Bad
Horace Greeley's handwriting was
so bad he couldn’t read it himself,
and often had to call in Jack Rob n
son, one of his proofreaders, who
could decipher it quicker than you
could say his name.
American Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and Airmen are
on every front. They are giving 100 percent for their
country. What are we doing here on the home front?
Are we lending at least ten percent of income to help
them? It’s very little. But to fight this war success
fully our country needs a billion dollars in War Bonds
every month from us—the People. Let's Go, America.

Important Research Made
On Properties of Slag
The important investigations of
the properties of slags, carried on
by Prof. Richard S. McCaffrey and
associates of the department of min
ing and metallurgy of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin have recently been
shown to make possible better foun
dry operation and an improved prod
uct.
The importance of the Wisconsin
metallurgical engineer’s work is
shown by the recent successful ap
plication of the principles developed
by Professor McCaffrey to the pro
duction of better cast iron in foun
dry cupolas. An Ohio engineer has
applied these principles developed in
Wisconsin to the solution of the prob
lems of a large producer of highest
grade automotive castings.
In the operation of a cupola for
the manufacture of cast iron,
refuse material must be removed
from the iron. If this is not done it
may cause considerable trouble and
seriously affect the quality of the
iron produced. The principles de
veloped at Wisconsin have been re
markably successful in securing bet
ter cupola operation and in decreas
ing the amount of an objectionable
impurity present in the cast iron.
‘Oozlefinch’ Controversy
Rages Between U. S. Camps
In an effort to help settle the
Oozlefinch controversy raging be
tween Camp Callan and Fort Rose
crans in California, NCC Service
grams, nation-wide soldier’s news
service operated by the National
Catholic Community service, asked
John Kieran, eminent columnist of
the New York Times and wit-wizard
of “Information Please,” to step into
the editorial fray.
Oozlefinch is a mysterious bird
mascot of the coast artillery that
“flies backwards to keep the dust i
out of its eyes.”
Each camp claims information as
to the origin of the Oozlefinch. !
Avis expert Kieran pointed out ;
that the “oozle” in Oozlefinch may 1
be a misnomer for Ouzle bird, a spe
cies peculiar to the Rocky Moun
tain area and studied extensively by
naturalist John Muir, a Californian
himself.
According to Kieran, the Ouzle
dives and swims in water. (
“The ‘finch’ in Oozlefinch,” said
Kieran glibly, “is an indication of
sparrow blood. This bird-branch :
consists of seed-eaters and heavy
builds.”
Change in Calendar
American scientists favor calen
dar reform, a survey reported by
Dr. W. E. Castle, research associate
in genetics in the University of Cali
fornia, indicates.
Dr. Castle sent informal post-card
questionnaires to members of the
National Academy of Sciences, ask
ing their opinion on the adoption of
the proposal of what is known as
the World Calendar.
“The World Calendar would be
one of 12 months and four equal
quarters,” explains Dr. Castle. “This
retains the familiar month names
but adjusts their lengths so as to
make them as nearly equal as pos
sible.
“Each quarter begins on Sunday
and ends on Saturday. It contains 91
days. There are 30 days in each
month except the first month of the
quarter, which by reason of having
a fifth Sunday has 31 days. The
number of week days is the same
in every month, 26.”
The geneticist explains that this is
a less radical calendar reform pro
posal than others which have gained
attention.
Prevents Lead Poisoning
Results of recent research in the
prevention of lead poisoning indi
cate the importance of consuming
adequate quantities of milk, accord
ing to the editorial in a recent issue
of the Journal of the American Med
ical Association. “The deposition of
lead in the bones appears to take
place in inverse ratio to that of
calcium,” states the article.
“This,” declares the president of
the National Dairy Council, “makes
clear the reason why some industri
alists have found it is important to
protect their workers by encourag
ing them to drink milk.” Adequate
quantities of milk and its products
are the most reliable sources of cal
cium in the diet. Many industrial
ists, recognizing this fact, urge the
regular use of milk at meal time
and have milk served to employees
during their morning and afternoon
rest periods.
Lead poisoning is considered one
of the chief hazards to the health of
industrial workers. In plants where
lead is used, even the dust is found
to contain quantities of this metal.
Origin of Tapioca
Tapioca pudding, that staple of
most boarding house menus, was
first produced by Indians in South
America, according to Dr. B. E.
Dahlgren, chief curator of botany
at the Field Museum of Natural His
tory in Chicago. Farina, the South
American “staff of life,” is a prod
uct of cassava. Cassava is the
source also of tapioca, only the lat
ter product was imported generally
from the Dutch East Indies. “The
cassava plant,” says Dr. Dahlgren,
“is a native of tropical America
and was thence introduced into the
Dutch East Indies. It was culti
vated before Columbus by the Indi
an inhabitants of the Antilles and
Central and South America, and
was one of their most important
food plants.
COTTON BAGS PLENTIFUL
Here in Georgia, where vir
tually all farmers depend on
cotton as a cash income, comes
good news from the National
Cotton Council of America, with
headquarters in Memphis, Tenn.
It has to do with the cotton bag
situation. Reports have been
widely circulated that there is
an acute scarcity of cotton bags.
Such reports are without justifi
cation, says the Cotton Council.
In normal times the bag mark
et is the third largest outlet for
cotton. Under present condi
tions, with burlap suplies drasti
cally curtailed by war, cotton
has a real opportunity to greatly
increase this outlet by securing I
a large portion of the bag mark- i
et formerly held by burlap, it
was pointed out. On the sub
ject, the Cotton Council said:
“The cotton industry is par
ticularly interested in this bag
market for three reasons: (1)
Our cotton mills have doubled
'their production of bagging ma
terials under WPB Order L-99 to
Take care of this increased busi
mess; (2) this increased produc
tion of bagging materials will
assist us greatly in reducing the
only stocks of cotton which we
{now have a surplus, namely, the
shorter staple, lower-grade quali
ties; (3) every new use for cot-
: ton bags which we establish to
day will greatly strengthen our
chances of holding a much larg-!
ier share of the bag market after,
j the war. *
Through the Council, the cot-{
ton industry has launched a na-
Ition-wide campaign to bring,
I home to farmers and other bag;
users the superiority and avail
ability of cotton bags. The
'strength, adaptability and high
re-use value of cotton bags are
being especially emphasized.
Textile Bag Manufacturers Asso
ciation, in a letter to all its mem
bers, said the National Cotton
Council is doing an excellent job
in refuting the feeling among
{various industries that there is
an acute scarpity of cotton bags.
Up to a recent date the Council
had mailed letters to 1,950 agri
cultural cooperatives, 120 sugar
I refineries, 1,000 flour mills, 420
feed mills, 85 rice mills, 60 sul
phur mines, 52 ginners, cotton
! shippers, cotton warehouses and
{cotton manufacturing associa
tions; 500 cottonseed oil mills,
385 fertilizer plants, and 63 farm
and trade journals in cotton
belts, and had sent radio script
to 266 radio stations, and press
released to 4.000 cotton belt
weeklies.
Psychotic Coed Changes Mind
The maladjusted coed shows a
j greater tendency to change her
j mind than the normal coed, accord
j ing to a study just made at the
Pennsylvania State college by Dr.
Clifford R. Adams, assistant profes
sor of psychology.
As compared with normal female
students, the maladjusted women
were not so quickly aroused to feel
ings of annoyance or irritability, had
a greater tendency toward emotion
ality, and exercised the feminine
prerogative to change their minds
more often.
Maladjusted men rationalized less
1 than normal men, he found. They
also made fewer excuses, showed
less emotional range, and lacked
flexibility in adapting themselves to
new situations.
As a whole, seriously maladjusted
students tended to be more intro
verted, less sociable, less suggesti
ble and co-operative, less cautious
with little fear tendency, less tol
-1 erant of others, and less likely to
think constructively about their
problems!
Have You War Nerves?
War hysteria which causes you to
have a nervous stomach and the de
sire to tear your mule-headed neigh
bor apart can be avoided by the ap
plication of a few simple rules to
1 maintain a normal and healthy men
tal balance.
L. B. Hoisington, chairman of the
University of Oklahoma psychology
department, advises participation in
normal pastimes, hard work at one’s
job, and avoidance of lopsided views
and inflaming rallies.
The psychologist said that contin
ued normal recreation would help
keep Americans rational, level-head
ed human beings and prevent peo
ple from falling into habits of moody
thinking.
He urged confidence in the na
j tion’s political and military leaders
and said that bickerings over poli
cies might spread to dangerous pro
portions.
Uses Highway Safety Plan
Engineers of the North Carolina
Highway commission are clocking
curves to determine safe speed.
Moving to reduce the state’s high
way accident toll, Governor Brough-
I ton decreed speed zoning and sug
i gested that the legislature meeting
in 1943 will be asked to reduce the
state’s 60 mph speed limit. A pio
neer good roads state, North Caro
lina has $600,000,000 invested in its
highway system.

SAVING FOOD
The weakest link in our vic
tory food program lies not in the
army mess halls, but rather on
the American dining table. The
larger the farm families, the
more necessary it becomes to
produce and conserve an ade
quate food supply.
To enable farm families to
have plenty of canned and stor
ed foods during the winter
months a food preservation bud
get has been prepared. Accord
ing to this budget, a family of
i five needs to can 100 quarts of
tomatoes, 125 quarts of fruits,
100 quarts of meats, 20 quarts of
pickles, 20 quarts of jams, jel
lies, preserves and marmalades,
and 200 quarts of other vege
tables.
This year when there may bea
shortage of canning equipment
and materials in some areas,
brining, salting and krauting
vegetables will help solve the
problem. More food can be car
ed for in this way in the same
length of time, and less labor
will be needed than for canning
or drying.
In addition, brining or salting
may be done with such contain
ers as lard tubs, old kegs, stone
jars and glass jars that nave no
covers.
