English Ration Food
On Basis of Work
By Mary Aileen Cochran.
While we are griping because
we can't get a coke before three,
a glance at wUat the English are
doing with n.'Kt to nothing in com
parison sq"?lches our groans. In
a recent speech at ag college,
Miss Marguet Bonfield told of
wartime control of food.
The Engliali plan of rationing
was planned in proportion to pro
duction, tut there seemed to be
a hitch in thi3 general system of
rationing v.lun production of war
time good3 went down.
The manual laborer wasn't get
ting enough energy from the
scimpy rations t give forth the
same amount of work. The min
istry, realisuig this, ordered that
rations would be distributed in re
lation to the type of work being
done, so those with sedentary jobs
would receive less, and laboring
persons more. Production went up
accordingly with this change.
Communal Table.
Miss Bonfield also told of an
other method of group cooking and
eating that appears strange to us.
All industries with 2M or more
workers have a communal table
restaurant. By having everyone
eat their main meal in the "can-

teen," there is a large saving in
food, fuel, time, and labor. Women
who would otherwise be in their
own kitchen are available for fac
tory work.
Of course, Miss Bonfield brought
out, special attention is being paid
to the serving of balanced meals.
Foods, such as milk, with high
nutritive value, are being eaten,
rather than those which do not
especially promote better health.
Women from 19 to 35 have been
conscripted to work in war indus
tries. If their children are small
and the mother is needed at home,
she is excused. Another conser
vation in labor and time is the
formation of nursuries for the
children. One nurse will release
30 women for work in factories.
Thus everyone, man, woman and
child, has had to make an adjust
ment in their living to suit the
wartime efforts.
Grand Coulee
Dam Displays
Project in MA
On the second floor of t'.ie Me
chanic Arts building is a display
of the Grand Coulee Dam project,
lent to the university by the Bu
reau of Reclamation, Department
of the Interior.
The display pictures the dam
while in construction, one of the
huge 108,000 kilowatt generators
in various stages of construction,
and part of the power line on
which this current is carried. A
small portion of this current will
be used to irrigate up to 390,000,
000 acres of desert land, which
will furnish a living to over half
a million people.
The dam is built in the 1,600
foot canyon of the Grand Coulee
river, and contains 12.000.000 cu
bic yards of concrete. It is 30 feet
wide at the top and 500 feet at
the base. The length of the dnm
varies from 4,300 feet at the crest
to 3.000 feet at the base. A 30
foot highway will run across the
crest of the dam.
For further information, te the
display in Mechanic Arts Hall, be
fore March 11, for then it goes to
the University of Kansas.

annual Big Six swimming meet
at Ames Friday and Saturday.
Not only do the Wildcats ap
pear to be a better choice for the
1942 title, but the 400-yard relay
team representing the Aggies is
making threatening gestures
toward the record set by the Iowa
State team in 1938. The quartet
of Novak, Kalousck, Yeo and Gar
rett has a time of 3:48, more than
four seconds better than the pres
ent record.
The sudden drop of Iowa State
stock came 10 days ago when the
Cyclones escaped with a lucky tie
at Manhattan. The Wildcats
showed enough power in the du,"l
moot to indicate that, with the
help of the rest of the conference,
would lift the title this year to
become the first team other than
Iowa State or Nebraska to win a
Big Six title.

Breaststroke Event.
In the breast stroke Mike Travir
of Oklahoma presents the rca
problem. He has not been in dual
meet competition this year but Is
reported ready to repeat his time
of 2:39 of last year, easily good
enough for first place. Pete
Buckman of Kansas State will
place first or second, depending
on Travis making his entry. John
Slater of Iowa State, Jacobsen of
Oklahoma, Foster of Nebraska,
and Lincoln Stuart and Clyde Noll
of Iowa State, are other possible
point winners.
Iowa tate rates the edge in the
medley relay with a time of 3:13
this year. This betters the Big

years ago. Kansas State and Ne

The offtune-ontune bellows of
four sundry bassos that aroused

Letters to the Editor.
A letter to editor of this sheet
reads and we quote: "Just a sug
gestion for the prospective
BDOC's. Let's probe beneath those
"rags" he wears and find out
what he's actually made of. Why
not divide the prizes between a
couple of deserving students who
can't be BDOCs because. Let
the winner keep the watch to
show his grandchildren, however.
Sincerely, An Alum." Evidently
this alum has the idea that any
potential BDOC is loaded with
duds. We offer this statement
from candidate Harry Binder and
we quote again: "Any man who
has two suits, four shirts and a
pair of shoes can run for BDOC.
I'm short on the shoes." . . . Then
