Ann Arbor Trail Phone 174 `Old Order Changeth' Benito Mussolini (left) is still called "Il Duce" but his minister of war, Marshal Rodolfo Graziani (right), is reported to have been picked by German Fascists as the next Italian leader. But the Ger- mans probably won't have anything to say about the next Italian leader. Elephants are struggling In moist jungle heat, Building log bridges To make the shores meet. Horses are helping All over the world, Wherever our flag Is being unfurled. S.n.imals are hauling New parts for the planes, knd yaks pull out trucks Bogged down by the rain. 'igeons are flying Across flaming skies, shielding our secrets From enemy eyes. Chese animal trends Help here and away, lot one is a shirker, They work night and day. 3uy war bonds And stamps today, Co help men and Animals pave the way. —Donald E. Burk. A firm in Racine, Wisconsin, has recently purchased the U. S. rights to Britain's McCorquodale process, which prints color samples in the folders of paint manufacturers, thereby eliminat- ing the necessity of showing the colors on mounted paper chips, Using secret printing paint, a spe- cial machine produces 72 colors, in gloss, semigloss and flat ef- fects, in a single impression. Other things may be seized with might, or purchased with money, but knowledge is to be gained only with study.—John- son.

They let soups cool after cooking so that the fat will rise. When it has hardened, they remove it and reheat the soup for serving. When the fat can no longer be used for cooking, it is turned in for glycerine. If a great change is to be made in human affairs, the minds of men will be fitted to it; the gen- eral opinions and feelings will draw that way.—Burke.
