Congressional investigation to de-

its authority Saturday in issuing
so-Called anti-monopolistic regula-
lions governing chain broadcasting
was in the offing today.
Meanwhile, the National Broad

Broadcasting System in promising a
court test of the new regulations,
which, among other provisions, pro-
hibit restrictive network contracts
with stations, under which a station
may not take program from more
than one network.
The congressional inquiry was
called for by Senator White, Repub-

member of the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee, which has
jurisdiction over radio legislation.

Mr.. Dooley expressed hope that

pended vacations and kept defense
workers on the job constantly. But
/ they soon found that these workers
needed vacations: they had to get
away a few days every few months,
and if they did, they produced more
munitions and other essentials and
we're better workmen. So the gov
eminent arranged for regular leaves
of absence and trips away from

Mr.. DooIey reminded that the

The men who drive sightseeing
buses and the lecturers who explain

The Gray Line interests, it was
emphasized. are not in competition

the broadcasting regulations were
desirable, but he doubted the COM
MISSIONS power to issue them.
Early in the summer the Senate
committee heard testimony under a
resolution to investigate the F. c. c.

have been in adjournment since. and
no action has been taken. Senator
White said yesterday he would ask
Chairman Wheeler to reconvene the
committee to resume the investiga-

the commiSSiOn's rules were alleged

Broadcasting System issued this
comment:
Columbia, however, believed that
it owed duty to itself and to the

Leather Key Chains
Produce Profits for
Young ObbOrtuniSt

BY keeping his eyes open and TAX
ing advantage of an opportunity
Reuben Casey made all his spending
money during the past school year
Il noticed that all the kids at
school used shoestrings, kite strings,
rubber bands and other miscellane-
Gus cords to carry their locker key
chains. So I thought if I could find
a way to make a good key chain
from cheap, strong material, ]
might be able to earn some money
That night I looked through all
the handicraft magazines until ]
had several designs for key chains
Then, in a dime store. I found just
what I wanted-an imitation leather
band that sold for cents a yard
They also had some key rings at 5
cents dozen.
Il took the strips of leather and
braided them right on the ring so
they would hold better. Then I
braided the chain to the proper
length, leaving a loop at the end
to slip over the wearer's belt I
used from four to seven strands,
depending on the thickness I wanted
the finished product to be.
They sell for from 10 to so cents,
depending on the length and the
number of strands used. It takes
me about IS minutes to make one. !"

IN the province Of Quebec. Every

customs. We had 70 tell our names,

Speaking Of the war, quite a few

If YOU have ever eaten chop suey
or chow mein you've probably used
SOY sauce as a relish. It's made
from the versatile soybean, and
you've guessed it-they have even
found way 70 use soybeans in road
building. Fu Hua Chen, Chinese
graduate student at the University
of Illinois. wrote a thesis in 1896
suggesting that soybean oil be used
as a substitute for tar and asphalt
in treating earth roads.
Laboratory tests showed that SOY
oil bound soil particles together,
waterproofed the road surface and
resisted freezing and thawing. The
first test roads brought out another
interesting fact about soybean oil

and other hungry creatures from
eating up the road!
Highways of Farm Waste.
MisSouri's contribution to the
road-surfacing problem was-farm
waste. The Show Me State tried
covering gravel roads with mixture
of soap, lime. salt and cornstalks.
These materials are said TO make
good road base, a cheap highway
and a good future foundation for
concrete. In addition they provide
new market for farm waste
products.
Calcium chloride takes a place
among unusual bodybuilding ma
terials because of the almost magical
way it works. When first spread
on a road, this white. f1aky chemical
looks like snow. q few hours later
it disappears entirely and the road
looks as if it had been dampened
by rain. The secret of this neat
disappearing act is that calcium
chloride pulls or absorbs moisture
from the air like a magnet attracts
steel BY dissolving in the moisture
it binds the road surface and ends
dust.
The rock salt used in ice cream
freezing has also been used to
harden clay and gravel roadways.
Salt crystallizes into the road sur
face, retards evaporation of mois-
ture, keeps the top firm and sheds
water. Very posular, no doubt. with
cows and other animals that like
a good lick of salt now and then.
