Railroads To Offer New Ease
And Luxury In Future Travel
PHILADELPHIA The trains
that will be carrying thousands of
vacationists across the country in
the next few years are going to
offer comforts and facilities hereto
fore unheard of in rail travel, Col.
E. J. W. Ragsdale, chief engineer
of the Edward G. Budd Manufac
turing company's railway division,
said in a paper prepared for mem
bers and guests of the Poor Hich
ard club here.
Predicting that there will be
plenty of business for all carriers
bus, rail, automobile, and air
lines Colonel Ragsdale said that
instead of being in "strangling"
competition the various lines very
well can supplement each olhe
"Each has something definite to
offer and each will capitalize upon

j "The air lines will go in for
speed. The busses will slice fares.
! The private automobile will still
: oll'er the advantage of being able
to go where you want and when
v.'! want to. but the railways will
feature a relaxed and safe travel.
Actually." lie said, "they are the
wholesalers of travel: the nthprs
' are the specialists."
Colonel Ragsdale pointed out
that it wasn't until the stream
lined train made its appearance
that the railroads began to think
of 'he passenger business as worth
while. Willi a new field before
them, he said, the railroads do not
intend to take it "lying down."
"They know what they have to
oiler and they are going to dress
it U) in fine clothes. In other
words, the railroads have discov
ered that even travel has to be
merchandised. It is a commodity."
It is however, one of the few
commodities which has no appar
ent saturation point, he said.
Colonel Ragsdale said that to
day there are about 29,000 obsolete
passenger ears. "Today, it would
take some 10 years to replace them,
and by then how old would they
be? It would be a $2,000,000,000
program," he continued, "but, for
tunately, all of these cars need not
be replaced. We get a lot more
mileage out of this modern equip
ment,, so that one new car does
approximately the same work as
two of the old. Even so, it is big
business."
Cabbage Heads
If cabbage heads in the garden
show signs of splitting, pull each
plant up an inch or so to disturb the
routs. This retards growth and
checks splitting. This should be
done only when the heads are fully
developed. The cabbage should be
used before the edges of the wrap
per leaves turn dry.

Executive Departments of
U. S. Have Own Flags
The Presidential flag In use up
until the recent adoption of the new
design was that officially authorized
in 1916, with the design of the Amer
ican eagle as used in the Presi
dent's seal. The flag granted to the
vice president for the first time in
1936 had the same design as the
Presidential flag of 1916, with the
colors reversed.
A flag for thf: secretary of the
navy was designed In 1866, under
Instructions of Sec. Gideon Welles.
It was not until 31 years later, in
1897, that a special flagwas author
ized for the secretary of war, by
the adjutant general's office. The
ecretary of state's flag was de
signed by the navy department and
approved by executive order In 1920,
with slight changes made in 1933.
The first interior flag, in 1917, was
designed by Franklin K. Lane, then
ecretary of the department, and
Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, president of
the National Geographic society.
When a separate portfolio for the
secretary of labor was created in
1913, the secretary of commerce re
tained the old flag of the combined
departments, changing only the
shield. The department of labor
adopted a flag designed by the then
secretary, William B. Wilson. Flags
for the attorney general and post
master general were adopted only
a dozen years ago. With the grant
ing of a flag to the department of
agriculture, in 1941, all the execu
tive departments of the government
had been provided for.
Sweat Elements Used
For Fungus Infections
A new prescription for fungus in
fections, ranging from athlete's foot
to Jungle rot, has been developed
and proved highly successful In ex
tensive tests made -by the United
States navy. Sprinkled on as a pow
der to prevent infections or for the
treatment of milder cases, it was
also used as an ointment for the
cure of severe cases.
Active Ingredients of the new pre
scription, -which has been found far
more effective than any heretofore
known, are undecyleTUc acid a fat
ty acid found in sweat and its
zinc salt called zinc undecylenate.
From this it would appear possi
ble that an insufficient excretion of
these ingredients by the sweat
glands is responsible for lack of
immunity to such fungus Infections.
The new powder consists of 2 per
cent undecylenic acid and 20 per
cent zinc undecylenate mixed with
ordinary talc. The ointment con
tains 5 per cent of the former and
18 per cent of the latter mixed in a
carbowax base, with water, propy
lene glycol and triethanolamine.
Defective Jaws in Sheep
Department of agriculture re
search has revealed that sheep with
Jaws of unequal length are not as
good producers of meat and wool as
normal sheep. Since the condition
is hereditary, the department sug
gests that sheepmen should cull
their flocks and use for breeding
only sheep free from this defect.
The scientists have observed that
the abnormality occurs rather fre
quently and becomes more pro
nounced as the animals develop
from birth to maturity. The de
partment's study of the condition
was conducted with range Ram
bouillet sheep by four scientists at
the Western Sheep Breeding labora
tory and U. S. Sheep Experiment
station, Dubois, Idaho. While the
experiments have not yet deter
mined the mode of inheritance,
which appears to be complex, the
results are sufficiently clear to in
dicate that flock owners should not
use, as breeders, any sheep having
defective Jaws.
Boil Vegetables
Always boil canned vegetables
from 5 to 10 minutes before serv
ing. That Is a rule that every home
maker should follow to the letter,
nutritionists contend. It is often
tempting, upon opening a can of
vegetables and finding them just the
right texture, to shorten the boil
ing period. But this is unsafe, for
botulinus toxin, which is poisonous,
may be present. Boiling will destroy
this poison. Even when the vegeta
bles have been canned with a pres
sure cooker, there Is a chance the
toxin may be present. Also, it's a
risky habit to taste the top two or
three peas, or the top string bean
In the Jar. Boil contents first and
taste afterwards. If the vegetables
are to be used in a cold salad, it's
advisable to boil them first and then
let them cool. Don't take them di
rectly from the jar. If after being
boiled the food smells or tastes
queer, don't risk using it .
Plant Raising
East windows that receive full
tun until noon are probably best
suited for general pot plant use.
Most house plants can be grown
more successfully when daytime
room temperatures are maintained
below 70 degrees. Water . spray
should not be applied to plants with
very hairy or downy foliage. Glazed
containers have an advantage over
porous clay flower pots for growing
pot plants under home conditions.
Garden soil must be mixed with
such materials as sand, manure or
peatmoss, and bonemeal or super
phosphate, to make it suitable for
potting mixture. Lukewarm wa
ter should be used Instead of cold
for watering plants.

Truman Budget
Is Masterpiece
Of Deception
WASHINGTON Senator Bridg
es, Republican of New Hampshire,
called President Truman's budget
"a masterpiece of deception" and
said that instead of declining, the
public debt will raise $15,100,000,
000 in the next i3 months.
Bridges, No. 1 Republican on the
Senate appropriations committee,
said in a statement:
"The President made every effort
to have taxpayers believe that the
Federal government will grow fin
ancially stronger during the next
18 months of his administration.
It will in fact become dangerously
weaker."
Calling the budget presentation
"a blueprint for continued waste
of the taxpayers' and bond buyers'
funds," Bridges declared the ad
ministration is figuring on reduc
ing its gross debt by dissipating
its cash balance. He said that is
like drawing on a savings account
to meet an overdraft on a check
ing account.
The President estimated in his
budget message that no increase in
the national debt would be neces
sary in the fiscal year beginning
next July 1. He estimated expen
ditures of $35,800,000,000, net re
ceipts of $31,500,000,000, and said
the estimated difference of $4,300,
000,000 would be met "by a re
duction in the very substantial
balance which will be in the Treas
ury during the next fiscal year."
Bridges said the figures show
clearly that a cash balance of $2(i,
000,000,000 in the Treasury at the
end of 1945 will be melted away
to $3,200,000,000 by June 30, 1947,
with the net debt rising steadily.
Asserting that the budget can
and should be balanced, Bridges
said a deficit of $4,300,000,000 is
unwarranted and inexcusable."
"No budgetary manipulation can
substitute for thrift and efficient
management," he said. "Real Fed
eral debt reduction can come only
by government living within its
means."
The Republican senator had a
number of specific criticisms.
"Why is it necessary to increase
the civil departments and agen
cies expenditures to $1,500,000,000
from $1,200,000,000 in 1940?" he
aski-d. "Aren't Federal pay rolls
and nonessential bureaucratic ac
tivities already over-inflated?
"Why must $1,100,000,000 be
spent on public works at a time
when industrial activity, if it were
freed from Federal oppression,
could provide all the jobs and fa
cilities that are needed?"
lie said the President had asked
$16,000,000,000 for Hie armed f'orc-

34 Nations Invited
To World Monetary
Meetings In Georgia
WASHINGTON The United
States has invited 34 countries to
send representatives to the first
meetings of the board of gover
nors of the world bank and stabili
zation fund at Wilmington Island,
near Savannah, Ga., March 8.
This long-expected announce
ment was made recently by the
State Department, which disclosed
that 10 additional nations that have
not yet officially become members
of the two multi-biilion dollar mon
etary organizations had been in
vited to send observers to the
meetings.
The $9,100,000,000 World Bank
and $8,800,000,000 International
Stabilization Fund, projected at an
International conference at Bret
ton Woods, N. H., in 1944, formally
came into existence Dec. 28, when
participating nations signed the
articles of agreement at the State
Department.
Actually; however, the two in
stitutions will be established at the
March meeting on Wilmington
Island.
Russia, the only one of the major
allies which has refrained from
joining the bank and fund to date,
was one of the 10 nations invited
to send observers to the Georgia
sessions.

Those electric wires leading to a farm tell you a lot of good news
about the people who live there. They tell you a story of happier and
more prosperous living.
There will be happier living because of the greater comfort and
convenience electricity will bring happier because of added leisure
time when electricity does the chores because of radio and good
lighting, and electrical convenience in the kitchen.
And the farm will be more prosperous because electricity can do
so many farm jobs faster and better and cleaner. Electricity wilj in
crease the production of the farm will mean more profits.
Yes, those electric service wires mean good news. And, it is
also good news that Carolina Power and Light Company is now en
gaged in a line building program which will bring electricity to
some eleven thousand more farm and rural families in the Carolinas.
