The largest beneficiary is New York, where the electoral prize of 47 votes is being hotly con tested. Loans and cash grants in New York have amounted to $2,308,301,000. The New Deal has given jobs to 224,552 men and women in New York City and 136,662 in the State outside the city, a to tal of 372,214. It has employed 182,258, in Ohio, 285,628 in Pennsylvania, I 90,527 in Indiana and 201,449 in Illinois. Not all these jobholders, of course, will vote for Mi’. Roose velt. But in general, this vote, as all the straw polls show, will be in Mr. Roosevelt’s bag. Whether; it will be enough to place the six crucial states in his bag also, can not be revealed until the morning of Nov.4.

The fats themselves offer a new byproduct industry to the present inewsprint |makers. Foi* Dr. Herty found the same fats in the spruce trees from which the world supply of newsprint is made. The tree fat is useful for making £oap and for mining flotation proc esses. With it is a mixture of fatty acids and waxes.

Miss McQueen told of the work now being carried on in the several clinics established in various sections of the county, and outlined ways in which the club women could help with the program, one of which was by using their cars to bring patients in to the clinics.

There is probably a Whitman in every Ameri can band.

Dr. Herty discovered the fats while trying to make book and bond paper out of southern pines. This he under took two years ago after he had de veloped methods of making newsprmt out of all grades of southern pines. His pioneering work is sponsored by the Industrial Committee of Savan nah and financed by the Chemical Foundation, Inc., of New York City, The handicap to making booli pa per was what the paper industry calls “pitch”. It is the stuff which shows as an occasional slightly dis colored spot in paper. It is not pitch, but Dr. Herty said no one knew exact ly what it was made of. To find out he sliced sections of tree wood thin as tissue. He colored the slices with biological stains like a physican looking for the cause of disease. The result was discovery that the “pitch” was made of what botan ists call "ray” or pasynchremous cells. These are the “living” parts of the wood, which a few years ago would have been identified simply as “pro toplasm.” Chemical analysis show’ed they were filled with fats, fatty acids and waxes. These cells are visible only under a microscope. They are many times smaller than the tree fibers which make paper. They are extract ed by diluting the pulp and letting it run by gravity over a porous screen. The small cells fall through with the water. NEW TYPE OF PULP. There is no machinery. At the end of the downgrade Dr. Herty has a new type of pulp, more free from the fat than even the spruce pulps now •used for the best grades of paper. Another new process separates ihe water from the fat. Spruce trees, Dr. Herty stated, con tain only about 1 1-2 per cent of the fats. The southern pines all contain much more of the living stuff, which probably accounts for them growing nearly five times as fast as spruce. One of the southern pines, loblolly, has eight per cent of fat. “If,” said Dr. Herty, “all the sul phite pulp (the newsprint pulp) used in this country annually were made from southern pines it would mean a daily production of fats and waxes of about 420,000 pounds. None of these fats are now being extracted here or elsewhere”. Getting rid of the fat in trees has been also a big stride ahead for an other of Dr. Herty’s scientific! “dreams”, of clothing from souttiem pire Itrests.
