the house recently scanning the bill

asked for certain supplies. II dis
covered that the government had
bought 200 900 typewriters In the war
period. Officials reporting TO the
committee could find only 1908 type
writer's IN storage or in the depart
ment's possession. Indeed but 3d.
coo typewriters are accounted for out
of the 100000. Then the committee
went housing around and found o.
500 typewriters, practically all in
perfect condition, stored away in
building. But where are the other
typewriters when the business of the
country must wait to be supplied ar
buy rebuilt and second hand ma
chimes? Where's the other lG5, 900?
Now the war has been over except
technically for nearly year and
half. Still on February 20 the gov
ernment had 5.oc0, 900 pounds of fresh
frozen beef in Chicago; il had $780,

New York; it had millions of pounds

There's A reason for scarcity and
