LiH.B, l.L.B^ Sc.D_ Cdltor, Scientific American " ' \ Home soap-making is an indirect blow at our armies in the f.eld. For they are utterly dependent upon the steady flow of munitions which, in turn, depends upon the production of glycerine from salvaged waste fats. Remember, too, that not only the men in the front lines would suffer from a shortage of fats, but also the wounded ana tne sick in our military hospitals For glycerine is Ortoa 0. Mana an essential in gredient in the surgical dress ings,antiseptics and burn jellies which may be so essential to their recovery. For example, glycerine is used as a base for the sul phommide oint ments which are so valuable in preventing Infections. Few persons realize that a short age of fats might well be as dis astrous to our war effort as a series of major defeats. However vast otfr manufacture _ of arma ments, whatever all-time* records of war production we achieve — all will 4)e useless, unless we have enough fats to make the munitions for our weapons. Fats are the source of most glycerine, and glyc erine is a basic essential in the manufacture of munitions. If this realization were general, we should not see patriotic Amer ican women making their own soap and thus depriving their country, at a crucial hour, of the chief source of her munitions supply In recent articles, I have urged the saving of waste fats by the housewife, and their delivery to a local meat dealer, from whom they are collected for the Government’s fat salvage campaign. I have warned of the vital need that Amer ican housewives everywhere co perate with this campaign. Today, With the turning point of the war apparently at hand, and our own ever deeper involvement, the same warning applies with double force. Home soap - making operates against our cause in two evil ways. It takes waste fats directly out of the Government’s fat salvage campaign, and it also decreases the manufacture of commercial soap, which is the largest single source of the nation’s glycerine supply. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the home making of soap tends to sabotage our war effort At this time, there is no patriotic ground upon which the practice can be defended, nor is there any basis of common sense for it Commercial soap is inexpensive and generally excellent in quality. Homemade soap is false economy It is likely to contain free lyes, highly damaging to skin and fabrics. Thus it is in reality far from being an economical product. The apparent initial saving of a few pennies is likely to be more than offset by the damage done to bodies and to clothing It is also costly in its assault upon self esteem. No woman who values good looking hands should subject them to the ravages of home-made soap. One would like to believe that every American woman, once she knows the facts, will cooperate witb'lier country and its defenders in their hour of need. Most of us would hesitate to believe that any American woman would trade her opportunity to do this, for a pos sible saving of a few pennies. If we are right, home soap-making will cease. jr‘7&V0£y^ ,ULY STOREWIDE BARGAINS i What You Save at Penney’s— SPEND WITH UNCLE SAM Buy War Bunds and Stamps THIS month, all the peo ple in your Penney store have banded together in a spirit of patriotism and team work to sell War Bonds for Uncle Sam.

" The more / read about it, Judge, the more I realize the tactics and requirements of this war are as different from the one I fought in 25 years ago as night is from day." “ Yes, and I can give you an example of how true that is, Fred. In World War I the chief uses of alcohol produced for war pur poses were fount} in smokeless powder, medi cal supplies and chemical warfare materials. In this war the need for this product is far more vital because it is also used as a fuel to propel torpedoes, to make shatterproof glass for airplane windshields and instrument cov ers, to make lacquers used in camouflaging equipment and as a base for synthetic rubber needed for tires, gas masks, paratroop equip ment and dozens of other things. “Every time 1 think of it, Fred, I realize how fortunate we were in having a beverage distilling industry in existence when war broke out... ready and willing to convert 100% to the production of this critically needed war product. I’m mighty sure boot leggers wouldn’t have." >•»- % Conference of Alcoholic Barrage Industries,
