American Soldiers
Have Life Easy, Says
Former Polish Guard
I CINCINNATI, March 11 JP
Private Waclaw Swiecki, who
served five years in the Polish
national guard, thinks that the
American soldier leads the life
of Riley.
i Swiecki, who's been in the
army seven months asserted at
the United Service organiza
tions' rooms that his opinion
which he offers free and often
hasn't added to his popularity at
camp. .
' "I have some arguments with
those guys," he said. "They talk
about the good jobs and big
pay they had before they got in
the army,
"Tfou guys are lucky,' I tell
Why in Poland the soldiers only
get 39 eents a week and not
such good treatment, either.'
. "We didn't get paid anything
in the national guard in Poland
. "When I left Poland, boys 13
years old were joining the army
They had to- algn.-np .for 13
years."
. Swiecki was " bora in this
country but in 1927 went back
to Poland. He returned to Amer
ica in 1938.

cently displayed are aald to
weigh about 2000 pounds, or
1000 pounds less than a conven
tional car of comparable size.

CASH THESE
CAREY, Idaho, March 11 (JP)
Jackrabbits, the long-eared, high
hopping crop devourers which
long have plagued western farm
ers today are worth cash money
to anybody who can shoot
straight enough to hit them.
Pelts of the animals virtually
worthless a few months ago,
now bring 60 to 75 cents a
pound.
With the coming of war, Aus
tralia, principal supplier of the
rabbit hide industry, curtailed
shipments and within a few
weeks the price of jackrabbit
pelts began to jump like the
animals the skins once covered.

field sales are averaging 100,000
rounds a week.
Some of the fur dealers fore
see a million dollar industry for
the state in jackrabbit hides,
for the supply is virtually un
limited inasmuch as the pelts are
prime only during the winter,
leaving nearly eight months for
the prolific animals to replenish
their ranks.

Rubber Invented
SALISBURY, Md March It
Of) Homer Pilklnton, 44-year-old
farmer, has concocted a ma
terial that looks, feels and acts
like rubber and sent samples to
the National Inventors' council
to determine whether it might
be of value in the war effort.
Pilkinton, who studied chem
istry at Hcidclburg university.
Germany, said the base of the
synthetic rubber was an ordin
ary plant, the name of which he
did not disclose. He obtained one
sample that was spongy and an
other that was firm.
No natural rubber was used
In its preparation, he said. He
mixed chemicals with the plant,
experimented in his kitchen and
prepared the material on his
cookstove at a cost estimated at
less than 15 cents a pound.
