WHAT SCIENCE IS DOING Grain Alcohol The dedication last week of the world's largest single-unit grain alcohol plant in Omaha points to one of the major developments" of the future--setting up near the farms industries which will utilize the great chemical properties of grains and other crops, says the New York Sun. Built at a cost of $5,000,000, this plant is designed to produce 17,500,000 gallons of alcohol a year which, during the war, the Defence Supplies Corporation will allocate to the manufacture of synthetic rubber, explosives and other munitions. Operating at capacity, it can utilize 20,000 bushel:- of grain daily of which 45 per cent will be corn, 45 per cent wheat and 10 per cent barley malt. As by-products it will turn out eighteen pounds of highly concentrated stock feeds from each bushel of grain; yield annually 5,-000,000 pounds of corn oil, valuable in seasoning food for the human palate; and, in an annex yet to be built, manufacture 120 tons of dry ice daily by crystalizing carbon dioxide gas drawn from fermenting -grain. Since chemurgists_ have_ found hoi and its derivatives--these include the making of plastics, medicines, dyes and aviation fuel--it is easy to understand the post-war value of such an establishment. It will multiply by many fold the di- Have You Heard? Two old Scotsmen sat by the roadside, talking and puffing away "There's no muckle' pi easure in : smokin', Sandy," said Donald.

Teacher--"Do we eat the flesh of the whale?" Scholar--"Yes, ma'am." Teacher--"And what do we do with the bones?" Scholar--"We leave them on the tide of our plate." Britons Afflicted With 'Shelter Legs' Women who spend their nights sieeping in deck chairs ir. air raid shelters are in danger of being afflicted with "shelter legs" -- an unsightly swelling of the lower limbs--says the Lancet, a medical journal. The malady, the journal said, is "caused by pressure during relaxation of the muscles, giving rise to chronic lymphatic obstruction." Stiffes; of the ankle joints, as veil as a hard swelling below the knees, often results.

Made In Canada, who heard it--though a good wholesome scare would do a lot to arouse people to the urgent need of action. If Canada is as close to starvation as Mr. Thomas suggested, it is high time the governments and the people got busy. It is not that the people have not been warned of the inevitable result of what they have been doing for so many years. They have been told, time and again, what was bound to happen if they persisted in cutting down trees, draining swamps--doing everything to hurry the moisture off the land instead of having it sink in and seep away gradually.
