Chicago chemist Robert I. Tenney, leader of a brewing-education group, says potatoes can substitute for grains in beer. He notes peas, beans and beets also brew well, and that 10 percent potato mash remains indistinguishable to drinkers. He pursued potato beer to ease grain shortages after government grain cuts.
Potatoes inspire local curiosity in a beer experiment as shortages loom. Tenney cautions that simple peeling won’t do. Home brewers must reduce potatoes to flour or dehydrate them before use.
In Chicago Judge Michael Feinberg allowed Betty Ackerman a tent in a rooming house basement to stay for at least a week after an OPA motion. Ackerman, from Menominee Michigan, said no other housing was available and she would be evicted without relief. The landlady Mrs. KK Sturtz defended the basement setup as offering basic facilities.
A Victory Garden Special, first of its kind in the nation, will visit Cedar Rapids on April 29 to promote home vegetable gardening in the Middle West.

Rudolph J. Mohr of the Pullman Company arranged the showing during a Cedar Rapids visit.
Army port officials announced in San Francisco that two million pounds of butter and three million pounds of beef are being returned from Pacific regions to the city.

These items will not enter civilian markets but reduce government purchases for mainland army posts.
