The solution to the fat and oils

Subcommittee today.
Charles Pavia, Miami, Fla.,
testified that he has patented a
method of extracting oils from
fowl fats from chickens, tur
keys "and even ostriches."
He said he has been working
on the experiment for 26 years
in a laboratory in his home.
Pavia said he can extract one
gallon of oil from eight pounds
of fowl fat. A broiling chicken
weighing 3V4 pounds produces a
half-pound of fat, he said.
He read the committee a let
ter from Gallinger Hospital in

tests showed his product to be
suitable for cooking purposes
and some medicinal uses.

Vast Amounts Hydro-Electric
Power Eyed As Boon
To Manufacturing Plants
By John W. Dunlap
. United Press Staff
Correspondent
Portland, Ore., Aug. 8 (U.R)
Abundance of electrical power
is making the Pacific northwest
the world's pilot plant in use of
electricity, Bonnell W. Clark,
vice president In charge of sales
for the Westinghouse Electric
Corp., said today.
He predicted that end of the
war would release such vast
amounts of hydro-electric pow
er that home heating, electrical
industry, use of appliances, and
development of new power
economies would become common-place.
Atom Plant Citad
Clark cited the huge atomic
plant on the Columbia river in
central Washington "The most
amazingly kept secret because
of its tremendous size" as just
one development depending on
unlimited power facilities.
Clark, who is also president
of Westinghouse Electric Supply
Company, said there will be no
really "new" gadgets and appli
ances after the war but said
advancements and improve
ments will be rushed to the mar
ket by all manufacturers. He
said the one article of refriger
ators will keep the industry
booming at least three years Just
catching up on back orders and
handling new home building.
Such items as automatic laun
dry washers-rinsers-driers for
home use, radio receiving sets
combining frequency modula
tion with the standard amplitude
modulation of today, house heat
ing units, quick freezing food
units, dust removing units, and
Improved refrigeration will re
volutionize home living, he said.
Aid To Lumbermen
Electricity and high frequency!
use in lumbering Is making the
industry more efficient, Clark
pointed out, such as successful
VJfl OA ft1 pastel inaaw.J4.4U. Jtfetfft 1 A ,hi. .,Vmm II
heating of plywoods. He said a
more finished product and great
er use oi waste will bring great
er timber revenues to northwest
lumbermen. One of the biggest
gains is reduction of shrinkage
in lumber, he said.
Clark said the company has
ijdu employes in California
chiefly at Emeryville, and in
timated some of this production
force might be transferred to
the northwest after the war to
take advantage of the cheapness
of power.

Portland.
HATE SOCIETIES MORE
