Business as usual appears
to be on the way out.
Recent barometric remarks by
Washington personalities sug-
gest that the diversion of pro-
ductive facilities to making le-
thai weapons of war may TO
some extent interfere with the
unlimited availability of con-
sumers' goods to civilians.
Although in prior months Ed
ward r. Stettinius Jr.. head of
the priorities division of the
Office of Production Manage
ment, had publicly revealed his
impression that the supply of
aluminium was adequate for both
civilian and military require
ments, he this month urged
users of aluminium Ito give i'm
mediate attention to the use of
substitutes including plastics, be-
cause of the impact of the de-
Tense program which may make
it impossible for them to furnish
the general public with the usual
supply of aluminium Implements
Four days later, at a press
conference. Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt indicated that defense
needs might limit the supply to
civilians of aluminium kitchen
utensils and possibly of new
automo obi es. Inasmuch as
plants normally producing such
commodities were being turned
to the production of war ma
terials, the Presidents wife sug-
gested that it would be good
idea if people would get used to
the idea of putting into govern
ment securities money which

most active factor Is the rise In

LITTLE BOY MAY
 SURVIVE WOUNDS
One of Victims Was Badly Cut; Tragedy Struck
 His Home

New York, Aug. 28.-(UP)-A nurse asked William Mercy, Jr., II, to shake his fist today. The boy complied. It. was a test to deter mine whether enough life remained in his frail body to permit him to understand speech. If William lives the chances are he will never talk again, For early yesterday his mother, Mrs. Mary Mercy, 34. drew butcher knife across his throat, slashing, his voice box. The boy was the only one. of four ciil- dren who was not killed outright when Mrs. Mercy, apparently de- ranged cut their throats and her own. \
 Before staying herself, Mrs. Morey tried to kill her husband, William Mercy, 36-year old former police man, with an ax handle, but he too, survived. The family had been on relief most of the time since Mercy was discharged on September 8, 1888, for intoxication. Over burderen by poverty. Mrs. Moreys mind cracked, authorities said. Her fears as to the family's health were not relieved by medical reports that they were groundless.
