Chinese 3a and 3b meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays from noon to 1:30 o'clock. They are getting sick of being pestered with queries as to whether the class consists of a bowl of chop suey eaten chop-chop (quickly) with chop sticks or whether they don't eat at all.

But some is made into sauce for chop suey, some into cooking oil, some into bread for diabetics. Henry Ford's chemist, R. H. McCarroll, foreseeing industrial uses of soy beans, got Mr. Ford to plant 10,000 acres to soy beans last year, 30,000 this year. From soy bean oil Mr. McCarroll's assistants make lacquer...
