Food Control Corner
Vl'hat The World's Authorities Say As
To Threatening Famine.
Lord Rhondda, Food Controller fur
Great Britain:
'"I`he Allied larder is dangerously
empty, but we are carrying on ina re-
solute belief that we can rely on the
people of North America 'to prevent
our food supplies from becoming so
diminished as to imperil the issue for
which we are all fighting,"
Sir William Goode, Secretary of the
British Ministry of Food:
"Few people have yet grasper) the
fundamental fact that Great Britain
still relies on the United States and
Canada for 05 per cont, of her es-
sential foodetuffs. Unless we eau
get this food, or nearly all of it, the
shall peter out,"
Dr, J. W. Robertson, Chairman of
the Advisory Council, Canada Food
Board:
"Unless we can get Inure food now,
we sholl go under, and 1,000,000 peo-
ple will starve. This is my con-
viction; and I know as much about
the situation, perhaps, as any one."
The British Ministry of Food:
"War is making bare the world's
cupboards; the granaries are being
emptied, the flocks thinned, the herds
butchered, the mines scraped. War
is making everything clear except hu-
man life. The whole world is threat-
ened with hunger, the menace of which
will become greater with the pro-
longation of hostilities."
Sir Robert Burden, Premier of
Canada:
"I cannot emphasize too strongly
the absolutely urgent necessity for in-
ereas:d food production. The issue
of the war may depend on the
quantity of the food produced in
Canada and the United Stales."
H, B. Thomson, Chairman of the
Canada Food Board:
"Great Britain is on shorter rations
than at any time in the last one hun-
dred years. The situation not only
is grave, but its possibilities are ter-
rifying. A large measure of respons-
ibility for providing food for Europe
falls upon Oa.nada. Every available
force in the cities must be utitid
ed. Men is now essential
industries et the present time are
simply destroyers of rations. To
the men who should be on the farm,
or who should be relieving men who
are needed on the .farm, the Canada
Food Board appeals; get out of the
rut—do not be merely a destroyer of
rations while our food supplies are so
dangerously low and starvation is
threatening our Allies."
GUNNERS' EARS.
Devices to Prevent Injuries to Ear
Parts by Detonations.
The relative efficiency of various de-
vices for preventing injuries to the
ear parts by detonations was tested
on guinea -pigs by Guild. Eight pre-
ventives have been used in the work
to date: 1. The "scientific ear drum
protector, Tommy," consisting of a
hollow soft rubber spherical bulb with
an opening on one side surrounded by
a flange. 2. A device invented by Dr.
J. Gordon Wilson and Professor A. A.
Michelson, -consisting of a hollow
framework of hard rubber in which
is supported a valve of light metal so
arranged as to stay open and permit
ordinary sounds to pass at the edges,
but so adjusted that detonation waves
can cause it to shut by moving inward
and forming contact with what may
be called the valve seat. The Elliott
"perfect ear protector." 4. The "Mal -
lock -Armstrong ear defender." 5.
Wax cones which Guild made after the
description given by Rho as having
been adopted in the Italian army. 0.
Dry cotton placed firmly. 7. Cotton
saturated with glycerin, carefully
kneaded to drive out all the air bub-
bles. S. Cotton saturated with petro•
leum, carefully worked in mail a uni-
form mass was obtained. In the first
group Guild places the "Tommy" and
the Mallock-Armstrong devices. There
is nothing simpler to keep clean than
"Tommy" and for army use it seems
the best of those -tested. The wax
cone of the• Italien navy type comes
next in order, followed closely by cot-
ton soaked with petrolatum. Cotton
soaked with glycerin did not protect
quite so well as that saturated with
petrolatum; the explanation probably
lies in the greater viscosity of the
petrolatum. The Elliott perfect ear
protector and the Wilson-Miehelsou
device rank together with dry cotton
as having been given the least protec-
tion to the middle ear parts of the ani-
mals used, With all three preventive
measures every animal showed post-
tive injuries, and one out of each
group of three animals had a ruptur-
ed tympanic membrane. Of the n1ee
chanical devices the Elliott reduces
ordinary sounds the least and the
"Tommy" the most.
"Green tells."
The Germans are great lovers of
fireworks, and perhaps no one sees so
mut of those as the flyer by night
over the Hun lines.
There is one device, above all, which
is most interesting and inexplicable,
as well as being extraordinarily
beautiful. This is known variously
as "flaming onions," "chain rockets"
and "green halls" It consists of long
chains of brilliantly luminous balls, a
bright emerald in color, which rush
upward from the ground in lines of
thirty or forty, or even more, and
which aro chiefly fired at allied ma-
chines when on bombing raids at
night. The green brills form light re.
