Lynn Says:
Household Tips: Are you won
dering how those pots and pans
are going to last for the duration?
Since the production for these has
been sharply curtailed, you will
want hints on keeping them in
• ’cooking” condition:
Aluminum: Leaving food in
aluminum longer than necessary,
soaking the utensil before wash
ing and alkalies such as soda spell
short wear for this metal. If
you want to clean aluminum with
out endangering its wearing pe
riod, use very fine scouring pow
der or steel wool for discolora
tions. Or, cooking acid foods like
tomatoes, rhubarb and apples will
do the trick.
Iron: Wash in hot, sudsy wa
ter. If this doesn’t clean it, use
hot soda and water. If rusted,
use scouring powder or steel
wooL Always dry completely
and wrap in paper for storage.
Tin: This metal does not keep
shiny indefinitely. Remove burnt
foods by boiling in soda and wa
ter for five minutes, never long
er. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

WHO’S

Consolidated Features.—WNU Release.
NEW YORK.—It would appear

under business isn’t entirely pre

it, if anybody can. At any rate, the
War Production board co-operates
with a committee of business Aten
who will try to cut down the paper
overhead, by evolving simplified
systems of reporting and account
ing. They are waist deep in gov
ernment blanks and battling their
way out. The government seems
sympathetic.
Hearing the newly organized de
fense forces against the paper blitz
is W. J. Donald, president of the
American Trade Association Execu
tives. He is chairman of a special
advisory committee which will work
with the WPB, a King Canute wield
ing a valiant broom against the pa
per inundation.
Possibly this is the “mana
gerial revolution," which young
Prof. James Burnham described
In his provocative book of a
year or so ago. At any rate,
Mr. Donald Is a fair laboratory
sample of the oncoming men of
management of the professor’s
discourse, a John the Baptist in
the managerial wilderness for
many years, urging the man
agers to shake a leg and do
something on their own account
before being swamped by the
burcaucrafts. He was director
of the American Management
association from 1921 to 1932,
scolding the managers, during
this period for being “too
smug’’ and not considering what
might happen to them unless the
metes and bounds between man
agement and finance and finance
and management and govern
ment were more clearly defined
and regarded.
Mr. Donald, Canadian born, natu
ralized in 1923, naturally will have
to use up a lot more paper in his
educational and explorative cam
paign among the individual mem
bers of 1,200 trade associations,
whom he will consult. He wants
comments and suggestions. In Sar
nia, Ont., where he was born in
1890, he attended the Sarnia Colle
giate institute, and later was gradu
ated from McMaster university at
Hamilton, Ont. He came here in
1911 as manager of the installation
staff of the American City bureau,
making his U. S. A. career in busi
ness economics.
NEWS values shrink like depre
ciated currency in time of over

caught eight or ten lines in the pa*
„ .. per when he
Routine These flew over Mt
Days Outruns All Everest,
Pre»iou$ Stunttng
mountain in the world by a full
mile. For the young colonel, this
was a detail of a work-a-day hop
from India to China.
War reputations build like a coral
reef. Off and on for the last few
weeks there has been a dribble of
news about the long, lanky, Colonel
Scott of Macon, Ga., working him
self as a “one-man air force” in
Burma and China. On June 26 he
succeeded Col. Caleb V. Haynes as
chief of the India-China air com
mand. That means that he and the
21st pursuit squadron, which he
commands, are the heirs of the
“Flying Tigers," or the American
Volunteer group which bombed its
way to glory along the Burma road.
Early in this encounter, Colo
nel Scott demonstrated what we
have fondly supposed to be our
national aptitude for quick and
resourceful action. A troop of
Japanese was moving steadily
up the Chindwln river in West
Burma. The colonel had only a
small pursuit plane. He swung
a 550-pound bomb in it, and with
it scored a bulls-eye on the ad
vancing troop. These and simi
lar exploits won him a silver
star.
He is a former West Pointer, 34
years old, indentured in rough and
tumble flying, when, with Colonel
Haynes, he flew the mails, in 1934.
He later commanded the 78th pur
suit squadron in Panama.
Colonel Scott celebrated his 34th
birthday by piloting a Flying Fort
ress across the South Atlantic to
India and making a quick jump to
North Assam in a Tomahawk Fight
er.
It seems to this onlooker that the
new OWI would do well to piece to
; gether the stories of self-starters
' like the colonel and deal them as
hot news. The necessity of plan
. ning and organization being what it
is, the (act remains that these lads
are the real spark plugs of our
fighting forces and the public would
like to receive more news of them.

Problem of Women
Workers in War Plants
. . . Idle Plants Rented
For Storage by United
States Government . . .
Bell Syndicate—WNU Features.
“
WASHINGTON.—Women in indus
( try is a theme worrying many think
ers and planners for that hoped for
period “after the war.” Women are
already playing a much greater part
| in the war effort than most people
realize. In a large plant in Chi
cago, recently converted from peace
to war production, 85 per cent of
the employees are women. The
head of the corporation operating
this plant told the writer that he
found women on the average to be
more efficient than men! He also
said he was using some women on
drill presses.
The question which is being
raised by the after-the-war plan
ners is how to get the women
back in the home when peace
comes, especially those who are
more efficient than men. The
manager of any given plant may
be disciplined to replace women
with men. The profit motive
will be working against that.
While most of the after-the-war
planners are worrying about this as
an economic question, it is pointed
out by a minority that it is really
a social, but not an economic ques
tion. They reason this way—every
woman who is a wage earner will
have buying power. Hence she will
purchase goods which in turn will
provide employment for others.
A ‘Social Problem/ Too
The social problem is something
else again. Women working in fac
tories are not as likely to be mak
ing homes as women working in of
fices. When it comes to bringing up
families the same thing is true,
for Washington government work
abounds with mothers who are work
ing at their desks again after com
paratively short periods of time out
when their babies were born.
So far as the war is concerned
the use of women in industry is so
important that it cannot be exag
gerated. Women can be trained
very quickly to the types of work,
which, it had always been assumed,
required years of training.
The truth is that this goes for
men too, though women learn com
paratively simple mechanical opera
tions demanding constant repetition
more easily and more quickly than
men. But men have been turned
into expert die makers in seven
weeks, under the strain of war pro
duction, whereas it was considered
before the war that it took seven
years to make a good die maker.

Government Might Have Had
To Erect Own Warehouses
Storage facilities have become
one of the bad bottlenecks of the
war effort. In the last war lack of
proper storage facilities finally re
sulted in the government having to
take over the railroads. What hap
pened then was that every article
for the army in France, or for our
Allies, had top priority, and conse
quently flowed along the rail lines
to the ports. There the immense
amount of goods piled up, chocking
the piers, the water front ware
houses and the railroad sidings
near by.
Plans were made long before this
country entered the war to avoid a
repetition of this. The railroad ex
ecutives worked out the plans, and
these were given the blessing of
the government. In fact the govern
ment has interfered much less with
an intelligent working out of a pri
ority system on the railroads than
one would expect any bureaucratic
control to do.
But all of this intelligence and
planning on the part of the railroads
does not obviate the fact that war
supplies are being produced more
rapidly than they can be delivered
on board ship. Hence warehouse
facilities are required as they have
never been before, not even in the
last war.
Recently the government at
tempted to correct this situation
by renting idle plants. The ef
fects seem to have been excel
lent. In most instances the own
ers of the idle plants had just
about given up hope of utilizing
them for the duration anyhow.
So they are pleased to be get
ting a little rent, to pay taxes.
But the warehouse owners, those
regularly in the business and who
expect to remain in it after the
; war, are just as pleased. They
knew they would have competition
of some sort, because the warehouse
space simply had to be provided, as
a military necessity.
Had it not been for the utilization
of these idle plants, the government
, might have been forced to build ad
| ditional warehouses. If this had
; happened the existing warehouse
! men would have faced the problem
of competition, perhaps from the
' government, perhaps from competi
tors to whom the government sold
or leased the new warehouses,
AFTER the war.
