FROZEN EGGS Frozen eggs are now being packed in cellophane, with an outside overcoat of card- board to save metal. Heretofore, eggs were removed from the shells, poured into tin cans, hold- ing thirty pounds each, and then frozen and stored. The tin cana previously used required two pounds of metal each. The cello- phane lined containers have no metal at all, except for wire stitch- ing in some instances. RAYON INSULATORS Silk has been ueed to insulate wire ever since the days of Ben Frank- lin. Now that Japan is cut off from the world the problem of finding a substitute has been solv- ed by Fred 3. Strauss. Thanks to his ingenuity a satisfactory mica coated or varnished tape has been developed which Is now much in de-maud. The tape meas- ures lese than two-thousandth of an inch In thickness before it U processed, yet provides a firm, enduring wire-insulation that can be applied to the wires of tele- phono*, radios, loudspeakers and motors.

"Now, Johnny," said the teacher, whn his exposition had ended, "what would you do with all these lams?" "I'd make them into wasms," was his prompt and wise rnply.

Tons of Biscuits Stored In Britain Thousands of tons of Britain's new "welfare" biscuit are being stored away in preparation for a national emergency. The biscuit has boon evolved, after many tests, by British bis- cuit makers who are now, to the number of 2-10, united with the cake makers in the Cake and Bis- cuit Manufacturers' Wartime Alli- ance, a non-profitmaking organiz- ation. The Welfare is a sweet biscuit made from whentmcal flour, the purest vegetable fat, and the fin- est grade of sugar. It gives the maximum of nutrition at the low price of !)d. per lb., and the in- dustry regard it as the best value ever offered to the public. The biscuits are mainly oblong, for, although the ingredients are standardized, the shapes vary a little so as not to limit produc- tion to a few cutting machines. They are carefully packed in tins stored in cases of 50 Ibs. weight which will preserve them indefinitely in all climates. .lURITtFORVOURCOPV OF 169* Potty-four p*ft** "' difUrwtl deif nt doxni of uh.u M * MCI in il by killtd criflimtn nd jviirantcfd tor i M, Samhctlon IT your mi'ny beck.

Hot 'Iron Rations' For British Army When a man in the British Army has to resort to his "iron rations" today, he sets off a mini- ature incendiary bomb and heats himself a can of soup. The soup trick is decidedly clever. Sealed in the tin is a small thermite cylinder. A wick protrudes through the top. When one wants to use the soup, he pimply touches a match to this wick, and in a matter of minutes, the soup is boiling hot. There are too, of course, con- densed rations. In a container about the size of a sardine tin are packed the needs of a man for 48 hours. Geography, and the cosmopoli- tan aspect of the British Army, complicate the problems of the scientists who are constantly con- \ 'I I a I- r m A ru,-.! 0* CHEWING TOBACCO ducting research into food supply.
