tungsten Tools

reassuring word passed along by
w. G. Robbins, president of the
Carboloy Company. a major
producer of such tools.
As a matter of fact, Robbins
forecasts that IL will result in
an even greater use of tungsten

American Seating
Profit Steady
Sales in ld Quarter Also
Compare Farorably
WHb 1910 Total

Sales OF the American Seating
Company in the first quarter com
pared favorably with the Sl.S75,
995 volume a year ago, and net
profit likewise should equal or ex-
coed the S105134 or AZ cents a
share reported for that period.
The prospect that operations at
the current high levels may be
continued indefinitely is somewhat
obscured by uncertainties arising
out of the defense program. A
hopeful factor is that mass move
ment in population to important
industrial centers working on
armament production will create
a stable demand for seating
facilities in schools, theaters,
churches. etc.
Similarly, concentrations of
civilian population in cities and
towns adjacent to new army can
tonmcntS should result in addi-
tional seating business a third
hopeful factor IS the high level Of
general prosperity throughout the
country, which should prove bene-
fetal to sales
Offsetting the favorable factors
in part, at least, IS the prospect
that sooner or later this year
needs of the defense program may
force curtailment of normal bust
ness. This could result from diff
ficulty in securing raw materials
or from governmental need for
some of the company's plant
facilities on armament work.

Curb on Prices
Whereas the cost of living has
risen 80 per cent in Britain since
the war began. our price level
has changed little: The national
industrial conference boards index
of the cost of living of wage earn
erS, families in the United States
shows an increase of only Is per
cent in the last year. THE bureau
of labor statistics records that the
real weekly earnings in manufac-
turing industries gained nearly 9
per cent during the six months
ended last January.
Washington has not heSitated to
limit prices for various materials:
coal, copper, lead, secondhand
machine tools. scrap aluminium,
scrap zinc, scrap iron and steel.
Other commodities doubtless Will
be subjected to strict regulation,
including scrap copper brass.

the SuddennesS of measles, must
be recognized as conducive to ig-

increases seem certain to be

Wages amount roughly, to half
the cost of industrial production.
Therefore, general marking up of
wages would-doubtless within
crease production costs and force
up prices.
Hence, a rise in the cost of liv-

Unless firmly handled by the
government, backed by aroused
enlightened public sentiment, the
rise in living costs would incite
clamor for further wage increases
and then we would be on the
direct highway to perilous infia-
ton.

LOS ANGELES, April 12.-
There's a grim-looking German
fighting plane at Vultee Field
a battle SCARED MeSserschmitt
40, shot down somewhere in Eng
land. Given to Nultee Aircraft,
Inc, by the British air ministry,
the plane arrived in Los Angeles
aboard a freighter and engines,
wings and propellcrS were I'M

For the first time one of these

Sacrifice Protection
One look at this fast escort
fighter is all that IS needed TO end
the myth about German planes
being poorly equipped. 1t has as
fine and complete a set of instru-
mentS as would be put on a COM
parable American plane. 1t has a
substantial radio set. Apparently,
1t has everything a pilot and crew
could ask-except protection.
The Germans apparently don't
care much about what happens
TO their men. All the sacrifice
made for speed and range has
been in protection. There is one
fTf1Ur plate and not even over
turn protection which has been
standard here for years.
But, it has plenty of armament.
1t fairly bristles with il. -Four
business-like machine guns point

The MeSSerschmitt 40 is an
escort fighter. Il has a range of
five or more hours, top speed of
around 375 m. p. h. with twin en-
gines. It cannot be strictly COM
pared to any plane built here, for
1t is an offensive plane.

What Initiation?

Initiation may be described. In
the simplest of terms, as a more
than ordinary rise in prices.
When extremely violent, wholly
abnormal ballooninG occurs, the
ultimate consequences always are
serious. The more inordinate the
skyrocketing, the more distressful
disastrous. are the final conse-
Puenees when the price bubble
bursts.
Initiation is universally recog-
nized as a disease. But that does
not prevent its being perpetrated
III different countries during times
of acute stress, especially during
war, when orderly peaeetime pro-
duction and consumption are sup
planted by wholly artificial de-
mands for destructive purposes,
and when governments need enor-
mously increased income.
While all classes suffer when
initiation becomes virulent. history
reveals that the wage-earning
classes and others of modest in
comes. those least able to bear it.,
are hit hardest, arc the worst VIC
Tins. The well-to-do and the rich.
naturally, are in better position
to look out for themselves. al
though finally they also become
either pinChed or financially ruined.

Empire Sponsoring Fund
 For Re0eafionaI Needs
 MJuneau Men in Uniform

The Juneau boys at Chilkoot Barracks are getting lots of drill work, military training and exer- else, but when they hit their quart CTS in the evening, there's darn little for them to do.
 Such is the report from the train ing centers where the. Juneau sol diers are eneamped. and it is in the interest of an all-out effort to give the boys in uniform more recrea- tional facilities for their spare time entertainment that The Alaska Daily Empire will tomorrow start taking subscriptions for an ENTER PRISE FUND for the Juneau men at Haines.
 Certainly, a canvas of the lack of recreational equipment at Chilkoot Barracks reveals plenty of ways in which this fund may be well spent,
 Need Radios, Records
 The barracks needs music, for one thing, and to remedy the need it is proposed that portion of the Daily Empire ENTERPRISE FUND be used for purchase of radio-p -phon- cgraph combinations, complete with the latest photograph recordings
 The fellows have lots of muskets to work out with but little in the way of athletic equipment. like box ing gloves, footballs. basketballs, baseball equipment. and equipment for such indoor games as ping pong. It is proposed that a portion of the ENTERPRISE FUND be used for these needs.
 Another bracket of recreation in which the barracks is decidedly short is in the matter of reading ma terial. Magazine subscriptions and books are badly needed. Through subscriptions are already being sent to the training center, but more subscriptions are alredy being sent to the trining center, but more material is needed for the boys in khaki who want to spend their evenings reading.
 Shooting Awards
 Writing materials, too, are short and it is proposed that stationary be sent to the men for their letters home. Another suggestion is that some small prises be sent to the camp. to be awarded at weekly or monthly rifle shoots. Proficiency with firearms is a requisite to good soldering. but contests on a rifle range with an award at stake will provide more competition than reg ular practice.
