Motor ^Vehicle Taxes
Were Paid in 1941
Tax payments in connection with
motor vehicle ownership and operation
Jumped approximately one-quarter of
a billion dollars during 1941 to reach
an estimated aggregate of $2,474,000,-
000, according to the National High
way conference. While approximately
$1,543,000,000 of this tax bill was col
lected to provide highways for defense
and civilian use, $891,000,000 repre
sents a special contribution of highway
transportation to general governmental
activities.
Principal factors In the rise of motor
vehicle ownership and operation taxes
above the 1940 total of $2,130,147,000
are more mileage per vehicle. Increased
registrations and higher federal excise
taxes.
The greatest single source of revenue
from motor vehicle taxation is the
gasoline tax which yielded $1,290,000,-
000 from state and federal levies.
Special state highway user taxes for
highway purposes produced an esti
mated $1,543,000,000, ^Of this total,
motor fuel taxes provided $960,000,000;
$458,000,000 came from motor vehicle

THE HERALD-NEWS
For Birthdays and Mirthdays
Children take great delight In
foods decorated with a name, a
numeral or perhaps a symbol that
has to do with a certain day.
Adults, who are merely grown-up
children, are just as pleased — and
quite often much more effusive in
their compliments.
The candle-laden birthday cake
with “Happy Birthday, Bobby”
piped with a pastry tube, and fea
turing “five," “six," or “ten" in a
frosted numeral, is an old, old
favorite. Frosted cup cakes with
a single candle in the center are
a more modern innovation.
But here Is a suggestion for a
decorated dessert that is Just the
thing to finish a heavy meal, or to
serve at a mid-afternoon lunch that
must be kept so light that the
evening dinner will be enjoyable
later. It’s equally good for birth
days or mirthdays — those anni
versaries, holidays or plain get
together days that are always
arriving. Just change the garnish
ing to suit the day.
It’s a healthful dish, an economi
cal dish and an attractive dish.
Nutrition Specialist Advises
Canned Fruit Grade Labeling
Grade labels on canned fruits and
vegetables make it easy for the home
maker to select the exact quality she
wants, says Bessie E. McClelland, ex
tension, nutrition specialist at Montana
State college.
So that homemakers may use the
labels to the best advantage, Miss Mc-
Clelland describes them as given In
the department of agriculture’s recent
ly issued leaflet. “The ABC of Canned
Fruit and Vegetable Labeling," copies
of which are available through exten
sion home demonstration agents.
The three grades:
“Grade A (fancy)—Only the finest
canned fruits and vegetables are in
this grade. They are carefully selected
as to size, color, degree of maturity
and freedom from blemishes. The fruits
are meaty, highly colored, and ripe.
They are almost always packed In
syrup, which may be extra heavy (very
sweet), heavy (sweet), light (somewhat
sweet), or in water slightly sweetened.
Grade A canned vegetables are the

Slow Substitution, of Women
In Industry Is Anticipated
Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, nation
al selective service director, has as
serted that the government will expect
"a gradual but constant” substitution
of women in Industry and agriculture
for men who are fit to fight.
In a radio address Hershey said
bluntly that reasons for deferment
from military service "before Pearl
Harbor may not be reasons today.”
Although registration of men be
tween the ages of 20 to 44, not here
tofore registered, has been set for Feb.
16, Hershey said enrollment would be
permitted earlier—possibly the preced
ing Saturday or Sunday—to avoid in
terference with production.
"It is most Important,” he said,
"that the registration be made without
in any way interfering with produc
tion ... it may be more convenient
for many to register on Saturday, Sat
urday night, or sometime Sunday, pre
ceding the day of registration.”
Declaring that the size of the na
tion’s army can only be measured by
one yardstick—"lt must be large
enough to win this war”—Hershey an
nounced that local boards would
scrutinize more closely the actual de
pendency of a wife.
Married men with dependents will
continue to be deferred until the need
for men becomes "much greater” than
at present, he said, but added there
will be closer attention "to the manner
in which the home was established—
and when it was established.”
"Selective service will continue to
defer those Individuals Industry must
have to produce the materials neces
sary to equip our forces—ground, sea
and air,” Hershey explained.
"Men will be deferred to Insure an
adequate supply of food. Students will

most tender and succulent produced.
“Grade B (choice) —Products in
grade B are of excellent quality,
though not quite so well selected for
color, size and maturity as grade A
products. Grade B canned fruits are
well developed and well colored, and
are packed in syrup or water as de
scribed for Grade A. Grade B canned
vegetables are not quite so succulent
and tender as those of grade A.
“Grade C (standard) —Products In
grade C are of good quality but not
so uniform In color, size and maturity
as grade B products. Grade C canned
fruit may not be so highly colored,
or so carefully selected as to size and
symmetry, and though mature, may
vary somewhat in ripeness. Fruit may
be packed in syrup or water. Grade C
vegetables, though less tender, in some
cases may have more food value than
either grade A or grade B because
they usually are more fully mature
than the products In the higher
grades.

State Mines School
Streamlines Program
Montana School of Mines faculty
has Initiated the policy of streamlining
its program to fit the war situation
and moved commencement date for
ward from the catalog scheduled time
of June 6, 1942, to May 8, 1942. In
order to accomplish this the faculty
voted to abandon the three or four
weeks senior trip which has been a
standing requirement at the Institu
tion for many years. This step was
taken in recognition of the fact that
most of the mining and metallurgical
plants of the country are now closed
to visitors because of the pressure of
war production and also In order that
the seniors might be ready practically
a month earlier so as to meet the
pressing demand for engineers both
in mineral production and in military
service.
The faculty also decided to omit the
two weeks’ Junior trip this year and
to use the time usually devoted to
that to the field class in mine survey
ing which has heretofore been given
during the summer vacation.

Practical Health
Hints
By DR. J. A. TOBEY
Care of Your Liver
The liver is an important and unique
organ of the human body. It is unique
because it Is the
■ largest single or
gan in the body;
it is important be
cause it is a work
ing part of the
human machine,
every part of which
is Important.
The chief func
tions of your liver
are to store up cer
tain types of food
stuffs, to manufac-
Dr. J. A. Tobey ture necessary food
materials, and to
serve as a regulating mechanism. Any
of these functions can get out of kilter
If you don’t watch out.
Acting as a warehouse, the liver
stores extra fat, carbohydrate, Iron
vitamins and other food substances
not immediately used. It may even
store blood. When needed, these food
elements are then drawn from the re
serve.
The liver produces a valuable sub
stance known as bile, which aids nor
mal digestion and is required for
proper use of fats. The liver also acts
as a sort of filter for harmful sub
stances In the blood.
Abuse of the liver, resulting in so
called “liver complaints,” comes from
Improper diets and certain poisons.
Thus, constant and excessive use of
alcohol often is responsible for cirr
hosis of the liver, a wasting away of
the liver cells.
Foods that the liver thrives upon
are carbohydrates such as bread, and
proteins such as lean meats. Too much
fat in the diet puts a burden on the
organ, but it gets along nicely on
well balanced diets containing moder
ate amounts of fat.
New methods for coping with cirr
hosis of the liver have been reported
recently. Investigations with laboratory
animals have shown that impaired
livers can be restored by diets high
In protein and a vitamin of the B
group known as choline.
The protein used was casein, found
mainly in milk and cheese. The best
food sources of the vitamin, choline,
are wholewheat and enriched breads,
lean meats and vegetables. Since en
riched white bread is made with milk,
it is also a good source of the valuable
protein, casein.
In order to take care of your liver,
eat plenty of protective foods such
as pasteurized milk, eggs, lean meats :
vegetables, fruits and bread.

now is estimated at about 7,000,000.
Country’s Sick, Wounded
Have Better Chances Now
American sick and wounded have
many more chances of recovery now
than in World war No. 1.
The reason: Medicine has made
more advances than Mars.
There are many remedies which did
not exist in the first World war, and
some of them are figuratively more
potent than tanks, planes or any other
mechanized equipment.
New remedies which did not exist
are:
Sulfanilamide. It is a double-edged
weapon. It cures pneumonia, menin
gitis and other infectious diseases. It
also is a powerful antiseptic for
wounds.
Plasma as a substitute for blood
transfusions. Plasma needs no typing,
can be taken to front lines in small
bottles and administered right on the
field. Plasma is the blood with red
cells removed.
Globulin, which is the main part of
plasma and does most of the work of
blood In transfusion. This Is not yet
in practical use, but looms big be
cause it probably can be obtained from
cattle. Plasma comes from human
donors, and so is limited. Cow globulin
would be plentiful.
A vaccine for typhus fever, the dis
ease which killed nearly as many per
sons, In and after the first World war,
as fighting.
Gramicidin and penicillin, two new
anticeptlcs that In preliminary trials
surpass anything else of the kind.
Gramicidin was obtained by a new
method of cultivating microbes in
earth. Penicillin is from an organism
related to the green mold of Camem
bert cheese.
An adult tissue, probably a protein,
developed at the Hebrew university,
Jerusalem, for healing wounds. It is
not an antiseptic, but a growth-stimu
lating substance which speeds forma
tion of new tissue.
Uniting of severed nerves by a collar
of clotted plasma. This does away with
sewing the nerves, a technique which
surgeons say is much like using a 2-
Inch rope to repair a rent In silk
brocade. With the plasma, the nerves
unite and regenerate more quickly.
There is also less crossing of wires;
that is, of fibers falling to get back
into their proper nerve channels.
The envelope method of treating
burns. Burns due to Incendiary bomb
ing, airplane fires and flame-throwers,
are on the increase. Hie envelope is
a water-tight silk fabric, laid over the
bum, its edges gummed to the un
bumed margins. It has an opening by
which a wound can be Irrigated and
treated, without painful and risky
changing of dressings.
Testoserone, the synthetic male sex
hormone, used In England and Ger
many, for treating shock, the mental
breakdown known In the first World
war as shellshock. It afflicts hundreds
of thousands.
Testoserone Is the first of the hor
mones to find a healing war use. Most
of the hormones are new since the

4-H ANNOUNCES
VICTORY POLICY
CLUB MEMBERS OF MONTANA TO
EXECUTE SEVEN-POINT
PROGRAM
Under a wartime revision of the
citizenship program which 8,159 Mon
tana 4-H club members and 1,570 local
leaders have' been carrying forward,
a seven-point victory program has
been launched and will be carried on
through organized 4-H clubs in the
state, according to J. C. Taylor, din
rector of the Montana extension serv
ice at Montana State college.
Basis of the program was laid down
in a discussion of civilian defense at
a conference held recently at Wash
ington, D. C. between 4-H club leaders
in the department of agriculture and
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The program calls for interpreting
to the community the four freedoms—
freedom of speech, freedom of wor
ship, freedom from want, freedom from
fear; making every effort to produce
and conserve needed foods in 4-H club
projects; saving for victory—preven
tion of waste, collecting scrap metal,
burlap, old paper, etc.; developing in
dividual and community health; learn
ing useful technical and •mechanical
skills and volunteering for civilian de
fense work; practicing the democratic
procedure, and understanding the so
cial and economic forces at work in
this country through discussion groups
and other organized community ac
tivities.
College Year Cut
To help meet the urgent need for
college-trained men and women in this
country’s war effort, Montana State
college -has shortened Its college year
by two weeks by canceling the usual
spring vacation, Dr. A. L. Strand, col
lege president, told the faculty at a
recent meeting.

not been Jsolated then, many had not
even been recognized, and they had
not been synthesized.
New. also, are nearly all the vita
mins. Most of them were known but
they were not available in pure form.
Surgery of the brain and the head
is almost a new art. It Is vital in
mechanized war, which seems to cause
more head wounds. In the last 15 years,
surgery has reduced the mortality In
head and brain surgery from the for
mer 40 or 50 percent, down to 10 per
cent, and sometimes much less.
In the last war the American sol
dier’s greatest menace was communica
ble diseases, especially flu, pneumonia,
bronchitis and tonsillitis. One man out
of every 133 in the army and navy
died of Infectious disease and these
four were the principal horsemen.
There is now a vaccine for flu, Its
effectiveness waiting for trial.
The so-called children's diseases af
fected 500 OQO men In the American
military forces, cost the services a
loss of 9,000,000 days, as well as many
deaths.
Those diseases, In the order of their
frequency were: Mumps, measles,
scabies (Itch), rheumatic fever, cow
pox, German measles, scarlet fever,
diphtheria, meningitis, dysentery, im
petigo, chickenpox. This list affected
twice as many men as did wounds, and
half as many as flu.
But Slight Increase
Seen in Farm Prices
The bureau of agricultural econom
ics says It expects the general level
of farm prices in 1942 to rise only
about 5 percent above the apparent
present level.
This forecast was based upon known
