THE SMELL OF BURNING
BRAKE BANDS

Everybody who drives cor knows
the punoent, ocrid smell thot means
burning broke bonds. i isn't Pleas
ant for it usually means brake droo-
oino or a brake too hostily and vehe-
mentIy applied. -,
But riaht now the country would
welcome such an aroma in the notiono'
economy. The price scale is getting
up speed in it's rise, and such brokes
as we have to control the int'otion
spiroI must be sharply applied now.
CONGRESS is now inspecting the brakes
and attempting to furnish new Innings
ond pedoI with q little stronger lever
age.
None too soon. Even the people
who hove been feeling that "a little
infIotion would be good thing" will
sit up and pay attention to Price A.
ministrotor Leon Henderson when he
SAYS thot we stand at the brink Of don
oerous initiation, and that the cost OF
Iivnq, no motter what is done. is bound
to 40 up. Unless the most stringent
controls are immediately applied, Hen
aderson warns, really destructive spir-
al Of inflotion is almost certain.
Nobody wants thot Perhaps
younger reoders do not remember it.
but our own experience in the World
Wnr IS still fresh in the minds OF those
who went through it, They remember
and they know thot there is no point
at all in securing wage increases OF 70
per cent if the cost Of living in the
meantime goes up 80 per cent.
When this sort of thing begins, it
is human to blame somebody; some-
body else, that is. And when every
body sits around bIoming everybody
else, the grim port Of it is thot they
are all correct.
All share the blame. PoyroIIs be-
ing at an oll-time peak, Henderson is
probably right in saying that wages ore
the most volatile and dynamic ele-
nnentM in inf(otion at present. But the
formers also wont ! 10 per cent Of por-
ty in the prices for their products.
Thot means thot the city worker who
has secured q 10 per cent roise finds
thot wiped out, and more, in the price
Of the food he buys. The farmer who
has secured his 10 per cent Of pority
price finds that in turn, wiped out by
J higher prices Of manufactured goods
he buys In the rush Of this furious
nutuol toiI-chosno, neither ever quite
eotches the other, while the fellow in
the middle with the stotic income gets
it where the chicken gets the OK. as
usual. tt it goes too for, oil 90 down
together in q common ruin.
Here, if ever, is q pIoce for the
stern application Of set Of the best
lined brakes Congress con devise, to-
oether with the best potience we all
con muster whenever the broke shoe
pinches, as it will.
When severe infIotion threatens, all
are in the same boat, and every ot-
tempt Of one group to profit at the ex-
pense Of other groups simply speeds up
the ride of all to common destruction.

Modern Kitchen

In Convenience

The present day compac
kitchen, equipped and planned for
sll-season efficiency. pays its big
gest dividends in convenience and
comfort when the hot Summer
months roll around.
Electric fans, kitchen ventilators,
and plenty OF good-sized windows
circulate the air and help keep the
kitchen cool
Careful planning OF the kitchen
layout is the foundation on which
cool comfort is built.
According 10 authorities, the
axis of the planned kitchen is the
sink. More than so per cent Of
kitchen time is spent here. and
careful planning counts most. The
height, location. design, and Access
series of the sink all contribute TO
year-round efficiency as we'll as
Summer comfort. Preferably the
sink should be under two or more
windows.
In the properly planned kitchen
the housewife finds 1t unnecessary
TO rush from pantry to stove to
sink, wasting time and energy
Distinctive feature of the mod
ern step-and-space-saving kitchen
is the generous use of adequate
cabinets. Wall cabinets above the
kitchen fixtures and base cabinets
streamlined between them at the
uniform height OF 36 inches can
hold all the dishes, utensils. and
foods needed in the preparation of
a meal.
