German Chances Waning

According to a dispatch from Berlin to Busi- ness \\'cck, “a good many snber observers" in the (icrman metropolis arc of the opinion that "Germany must win the ivar in six months, or shc is lost." Blorale, it is reported, is low, war on a large scale is dreaded, and Stalin's domina- lion has meant the sacrifice of much of Hitler's popularity. Economic considerations are even more impressive. There is not space i0 g0 into that phase in detail, but other factors may be briefly rcferrcd to. For instance, the growing ability of the .\llics to make themselves supreme in the air, and the resentment caused by the (lcspotic rcmoval of Germans from Baltic and other territory where they had established them- selves in comfort. For these and other reasons it is not hard to credit the statement that Ger- many's future is more uncertain now than it has been at any fimc in the last three years of "bloodless ziggrcssiou."

This gives point to Mr. Churchill's recent statcmcilf that the Allics have “gained the first campaign of the war.” lt was generally ad- rniiictl that (ici-iilziiiy would have the initial ad- vantage in a liurtipczin war, because of the long and elaborate preparations madc by the Reich in anticipation of ilic "day" on which another at- tcmpf would lic made to scizc world power.

It was this fact which prompted the managers of the Westkighouse plant in Mansfield, Ohio. in admiri- ister Vitamin A wherever there was marked eye fatigue. After two years eacperimenls. Ralph T. Bis- bee, Chief Inspector of the plaint has reported to the Porcelain In- stitute Emazmeling Forum at Ohio State University. the following in- teresting results:

Assembly line rejections because of ‘off color’ were reduced from an ave-rage of 1.7 per cent. to an average of three-tenths of 1 per cent. The quality of finished pro- ducts was improved. and oom- piainfs of ‘off color’ entirely elim- inated. As much as $5.000 a year ivas saved in the correction of de- fective ranges alone.

food was spread by the cartload on tihe lend as fert- ilizer. The oyster shell is mostly lime which 1s largely used by farmers to sweeten sour land. andthe flesh c! the oyster contains iodine. which is also of value to the soil. Naturally oyJers were not shim)- cd in those days and it was not until about the middle of the 19th century that oysters began to ship ed to the Montreal arid Quebec mar ets. Eveirthcii the 5111191119113 were in a negligible quantity as the only means of transportation was by schooner and owing to the per- ishable nature of the articles very few barrels could be successfully marketed.
