For instance take disposable

When first introduced in 1925
a 200 sheet carton cost you 65e.
Today it costs 13e, or 2 for 25e.
How did this happenf
=, From the advertising you saw
the advantages of disposable it's
sues and bought. Thousands of
others did likewise.
This increased sales-made the
economies Of mass Production and

In this manner advertising
Ioqoersd the cost of disposable It's
sues to you so you could get them

TAMPA March 29.-FNS)
Speaking before a meeting of the
Florida Vocational Association
here last week, Francis c. Seigler
of the Ocoee Trade School, an
nounced that he had discovered
a method of manufacturing ex-
plosives from citrus peel.
Seigler stated that aided by
pupils he had carried on expert
mental work for more than year
and that the recent announce
ment from Palestine of similar
discovery prompted him to an
hounce the results Of his work.
I'VE found, quite by accident, >
Siegler said, that when you
break and mash an orange
peel, the juice and gas burn with
a bright blue flame. We have
been able to crystalize the juice,
mix it with a common cheap
chemical, and create an ex-
plosive."
He did not divulge the name of
the chemical but said it was one
found in almost every home.
Seiglcr stated that the orange
peel powder burned like gun
powder and appeared to be more
powerful. He has offered his
secret to the war department

DRIVE AGAINST
SALARY BUYERS
EDUCATIONAL ASSN. WOULD
ALSO ABOLISH JOCKS"
BY LEGISLATIVE ACT

TAMPA, March 29.--FNS)
The Florida Educational AS
sociation, representing 10000
teachers in Florida, in convention
here last week, asked the 1941
legislature to abolish look" and
salary buyers, and called on the
public to support its stand.
Terming looks serious
menace to public morals, in a
vigorously Worded resolution, the
association asked that laws be
passed to put them out of bust
ness.
The resolution against salary
buying was even more vigorous
and pointed out that surveys
showed "a surprisingly large num-
ber' of school teachers had been
victimized by these Insurers
and that a bill to outlaw the prac-
tice had been passed three times
by the House during the 1889
session but failed to reach a vote
in the Senate.
II said salary buyers now are
not regulated, and urged passage
of bill sponsored by Kiwanis
clubs and other organizations to
place them under the same reg
ulations as other licensed lenders
The association also unquali-
fiedly endorsed recommendations
of the Brookings survey, which
urged a serious study of control
of budgetary procedure and debt
service; adjustment of continu-
ing appropriations; economies
possible of adoption the need, if
any, for additional revenue; and
the best possible use of gasoline
tax revenue not going for road
building and maintenance.
