HARTFORD, August 26.—Unexpecf-
ed interest has developed in a number
of Connecticut cities by the Food Ad-I
ministration's recent announcement
of the importance of the garbage quea-,
tion at this season of the year. As a
result of the authorities of several
Connecticut cities being shown where-
in they were unnecessarily careless
and lax. a number of inquiries have
already been made of Federal Food
Administrator Robert Scovllle as to
the best way in which to COoperate in
the flood Administration‘s campaign
‘for better garbage disposal.
Sufficient grease was recovered from
household garbage collected during the
month of May from eleven American
citiesto make the explosive charge for
more than half a million 75 mm.
shells, besides millions of pounds of
soap and other products, according to
figures just issued by the United
States Food Administration. The gar-
bage grease was sufliclent to produce
129.0t0 pounds of glycerine
which nitro-glycerine is made an
which there is a big demand at
time.
