American Industry Quickly
Solves Difficulty.
WASHINGTON — Maybe the Ger-
mans never will learn about Ameri-
can industry During their retreat
from France and Belgium, they left
behind their strategic telephone sys-
tem, intact cxecpt for one thing:
They removed all the vacuum
tubes.
Apparently that looked safe to
them- The lube was made by Sie-
mens Halske. and was unlske sny
other tube in the world.
Tj e Get" " * didn't think they left
an? nv-deis. !■< ■ H All the Ameri-
cans had to go on was a series of
h >.e.t I t the 'u, . prongs and even
the prong ■ Its didn't fit any other
tube
Signal cosp? r <■!. go! hold of one
tube. An unofTic .d story is that it
was found in a package that a Ger-
man soldier had wrapped for pri- |
vale u <- and abandoned in the haste
of retreat
The tube v. .is flown to the United i
States and the office of scientific j
research and development assigned
the job of d- «ign.f g an American-
made replacer. f::t to the Bell lab- j
oratories.
Three days later sample tubes j
were on their way to Europe. Three j
weeks later enough had been (
sh!p;>cd to put the German telephone 1
system back in operatic...
The job involved making some
parts never b'*f< n- n.ade in thi1
country nd adapting other parts al-
ready made to lit the German tube
The Bell lab. rai -ries designed the
replacement the same evening the
first tube was received. The West-
ern Electric Tube company and the
Westinghouse impany did the j
manufacturing
Dr Vannevar Bush, director cf
the office < f scientific research and
development, sent the laboratories
this message
"Your part in the spectacular job
accomplished under our contract in
providing the tube replacements
represents a record - breaking per-
formance and merits the sincere
praise and thanks of this organira-
Uon and those who will use the
equipment "

charge from active service.

Will you hold a
FAT-SALVAGE BEE
for your country?
Big George Remains as
War Horse to the End
KANSAS CITY. — A bi« bay tteld-
ing named George who served with
the cavalry for 14 years remained
n war horse to the end
His master, Col Thomas Tipton
Thomburgh. a West Point graduate,
rode him on more than 1,000 miles of
maneuvers over the country.
Rut Colonel Thomburgh was killed
in action last year, and George wa?
sent to a farm to spend his last
years.
A group of cavalrymen appeared
in the Held adjoining George's pas-
ture the other day. One of the men
gave a sharp command to the
troop*.
George heard It — an almost for-
gotten sound He reared and headed
directly for the men A high wire
fence separated them and watchers
saw he meant to jump it.
Hut George didn't quite reach
the fence.
Suddenly he staggered and fell
He died of a heart attack while
obeying his last command.
HERE IN AMERICA, when a neighbor
needs help, it has always been the custom
for all the folks to pitch in nnd give him
a hand. Many a harvest would have been
lost without the help of a husking bee.
YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS a fat salvage
bee right now! Millions of tons of fat have
been used up to supply the thousands of
battlefield and home-front needs in this
war. And there's still a lot of war ahead I
A PLEA TO EVERY WOMAN! Our country is calling on you, the women in small
cities and towns and on the farms, to save every drop of used fat. Your used fats are
desperately needed to meet our country's requirements.
So scrape all pans and roasters. Skim soups and gravies. Keep your used fats in
n tin can any kind will do. Save meat trimmings and plat*; scrapings in a bowl;
melt then down nnd add the liquid fut to your can.
When the salvage can is full, take it to your butcher. 1 It 'll give you 2 rod points
nnd up to four cents for every pound. If you have any difficulty turning in your used
f.a>. «. t11 your Home Demonstration or County Agent.
Needed this year: 160,000,000 more pounds of used fats
