Washington. Dec. lNS-The
Office of Price Administration today
disclosed some basic facts on the
types of rationing the United States
can expect after the first of the
year.
A nine point explanation issued
by the Office of War Information
REVEALED that war ration book two,
to be distributed early in 1913,
will have four pages of blue stamps
and four pages OF red stamps The
blue stamp will be used for the first
group of goods to be rationed by
points. the owl said, and the red
stamps will be used for the second
group of point.rationed goods.
THE number on each stamp tells
how many points the stamp Is
worth" the owl continued, adding
that the letter on each stamp tells
in what period II is good. The
government will announce these
periods in advance"
Here Is the way the Owl ex.
plains the point system:
THE purpose OF point ration
ing is to guarantee everyone a fair
share of scare but essential goods
while at the same time giving
everyone a variety of items 20
choose from
There are three chief differences
between point ratiOning and the
coupon rationing which is now in
effect for sugar and coffee.
The first important difference
is this-under straight coupon ra-
tioning. one single coupon entities
the consumer TO buy a specific
amount OF a single commodity
such as, one sugar coupon entities
you to buy three pounds OF suga-.
But in point rationing one set
OF coupons covers a whole yroup or
commodities. For instance, your
weeks meat ration coupons would
enable you to choose your ration
freely between beef, pork, lamb or
mutton.
Different Denominations
THE second important difference
. the coupons in point ration
ing are OF different denominations

OPA Issues Instructions
on Point Ration System

for example, will include a one
point coupon, a Two point coupon,
FIVE point coupon and an eight
point coupon.
The third important difference
is this-the various rationed items
within one group will have different
point values. For example. tender
loin steak being relatively scarcer,
might have high point value and
require larger number of cou-
pons, while hamburger, being avail
able in greater quantities, would
have a lower point value. Thus,
in exchange for a ration coupon
worth eight points. the housewife
might be able To obtain one pound
of tendcrloin steak or four pounds
OF hamburger. These latter values,
OF course, are used only in this
case for explanatory purposes"

CHAPTER ELEVEN

TOM KILCRAN looked out of
the wide window Of his office, that
ran across the second front floor
OF the Kilcran building, and saw his
daughter crossing the street. Then
his glance returned to the younger
man sitting at the other side of his
desk.
AS far as I can see, DIR. Brad
shaw" he said coolly, "the Harri-
son case is routine. II will be taken
care of through the usual insurance
channels"
Tony Bradshaw said quietly,
I've been trying to tell you that
this is not routine case, Mr.. Kill
Gran. It's a blatant warning of SIM
liar cases that we can't refuse to
see coming up. When Mulvey died,
had an idea of what was up. 1t
was a pretty good bunch when Del
evan was stricken, and now Har-
rison's case convinces me. Therell
be more like Harrison"
II think you're an alarmAst,
Bradshaw. You're asking for some
thing and l don't know what. I've
taken your word-one mans word
for it that Harrison is going to
die Of neglected numerous growth
as the result of working with dan
gerous chemicals. The. mills will
make every possible restitution.
Since you told Inc this, I've
taken every precau.ion to project
the workmen in the dyeing shop
with preventive methods. What
else do you want?"
They need more than prevention
methods. There is no such thing as
absolute isolation from danger as
long as there is any exposure to the
solution. When the first signs ap-
pear, the thing can be arrested,
but In order to do this, the men
must be regularly watched by elm
ical check-ups."
Kilcran sighed patiently. You're
paid to do that. Why bring the
matter to me ?"
A flush came up into the tired
face of the doctor. That's what
I'm trying tony end Of it." he
said shortly but I'm not hospi-
tai and / haven't the laboratory
equipment. No one man has"
That's your lookout"
is it, Kilcran? Or are you NOR
ally responsible ?"
II was the mill owners turn 10
flush. He asked. What would you
have me do?"
Build a proper hospital for this
town. The nearest one Is 10 miles
away
Kilcran smiled dryly, but he
made no answer except to draw
pile of papers toward him indicat-
ing the interview was over.
Bradshaw leaned across the desk.
Mr.. Kilcran, you're the one man
who can and should do this. II
wouldn't cost you more than $780,
600 to build, equip and staff a 30
bed hospital. This is a job that calls
for trained men, technicians, re-
search workers. In the long run
It'll cost you less than E"
Kilcran's voice cut across him
smoothly. where do you come in
on this, Bradshaw"
The doctors eyes famed danger
ously. but no hint Of what he was
thinking showed in his voice when
he answered.
I'm responsible for the lives Of
thousands Of men who work for
you"
You've been doing a pretty good
Job. But, Bradshaw, you medical
men are all alike today. Your ia
Their took care Of our men without
fancy scientific methods and test
tubes and all that fol-de-rol."
