You'll Need To Save Soap During
War; Here Are Hints How To Do 1t

Americans use more soap than any
other people on earth, but they also
waste more and should learn to con-
serve their supply this year when
fats and oils are not too abundant,
says Thelma Beall, home manage
ment specialist, Ohio State Univers-
ity.
+ Wise buying is the first step in
saving soap. No one soap is ideal
for every cleaning job, and it is
wasteful to use a fine mild soap for
heavy laundering when a cheaper
soap will do a better job. For
toilet and fine laundering, use a mild
neutral soap. The word neutral
means that the soap contains little
if any free alkali or free fatty acid
which will irritate the skin, rot fib-
ers, or turn white goods yellow.
White or yellow laundry soap is
best for laundering everyday heavy
fabrics and for ordinary dish-wash-
ing. Yellow laundry soap contains
rosin blended with fatty acid which
makes the soap dissolve in water
more easily, soften it somewhat, and
forms suds easily.
Soap sometimes contains naphtha
or kerosene to help dissolve greasy
dirt This may help in cold or luke
warm water but most of the time
hot water evaporates the naphtha be-
fore it has a chance to helm in

Auto Dealers Here Will Store New
Cars Under Federal Stockpile" Plan

When released, they will b rataoned
to persons certified as "elgibieG by
the rationing authorities.
The "stock pile" program was MS
closed in kilograms sent out today oy
OPM to automobile manufacturers
giving a set of conditions that nv 't
be observed as TO shipments Of pas
senger cars to dealers or and after
January 10. Before making ship
ments of a new car, according to the
telegram, the manufacturer first will
obtain assurance:
ID That the dealer will not sell
the car unless specific permission is
given by OPA. Such permission the
telegram states, twill be granted by
OPA when it is deemed in the public
interest to do so, but probably not
earlier than January, 1943."
(2) The dealer will make avail
able to OPA at any time the tires
and tubes on the stored car 'pro-
vided that the dealer will be compen-
sated to the extent of the wholesale
price,.
(3) That the dealer will not sell
the stored car, when proper permis-
sion is given, at a price higher than
the total of the following:
(a) Manufacturers list price; (b)
Federal excise tax; (c) transporta-
tion allowance at carload rail freight
rate from factory to dealer; I'D a
further allowance of 59o of the total
of the list price and the transporta-
tion allowance, or SIS, whichever is
lower, for handling and delivery.
(4) When sale of the stored car
is permitted, the dealer may add to
the price thus determined further
amount equal to 1fo of the list price,
or SIS, whichever is lower, for each
month after February l, 1912, that
the car has been stored. This will
compensate dealers for storage, in
surance, financing and other expenses

Permission to Sell New Cars
Will Not be Given Until
January 1913
Dealers to be Compensated by
OPA Board for Use of
Storage Facilities

Facilities of Bluffton automobile
dealers will be used to store some OF
the 10000 new passenger cars un-
der "stockpile" plan, it was an
nounced this week.
Several dealers in Bluffton have
new cars on hand, but under regula-
tons of the Office of Price Admin
istration are prohibited from dispos-
ing of them to customers.
A recent regulation, however, per-
mits the dealers to dispose of all
cars for which there are bona fide
orders made before January l. The
OPA has named February II as the
date for the disposal of these cars
to private customers.
COMPENSATION
New cars, not in this category,
will be stored by the dealer subject
to the regulations of OPA. A plan
of compensation has been worked out
for all cars of the January produc
ton quota of 100000 units.
To compensate dealers who accept
cars for stock piling the plan allows
the addition of a charge for storage
insurance, and other expenses to the
retail price when the car is finally
sold to an "eligible" user under the
rationing plan being developed by
the OPA.
Both the stock pile and rationine
programs are made necessary b!
the stoppage of new car production
in order that the facilities of auto
mobile manufacturing plants can b.
changed over to the mass produc
tion of armament. Sales of new car
were "frozen" on January / by th
OPM Priorities Division to enabl,
development of a rationing plan
This plan, scheduled to be announces
in the near future, will go into eff
feet on February 2.
HOLD FOR YEAR
In all probability, new cars store'
under the stock pile plan will not b
released for sale for at least a year

Laboratory Technicians are De-
veioping Rubber Sub
stitutes for Girdles
Little or No Shortages in
Ladies Wearing Apparel
Merchandise

1t isn't going to be as bad as you
thought it was, girlies! You can
continue to get girdles. There may
be some substitution of materials but
the girdle will continue to dispense
reliable service as previously.
Although some substitutions in
basic materials may be expected,
there is more than adequate mer-
chandise to meet the demands of
ladies wearing apparel consumers, it
was stated by E. S. Lape, Bluffton
dry goods merchant, who with Mrs.
Lape, recently returned from a three
day meeting of the National Mer-
chandising Council held in Chicago.
Distorted notions of shortages have
been created in the public mind by
misleading editorials, news reports
and radio broadcasts, it was stated
at the Chicago meeting. In some
cases there have been merchandise
shortages in a certain line due to a
run on the commodity by ill-informed
people.
ADEQUATE MATERIALS
AS long as customers make only
normal demands for the consumers
goods, the retailer can easily handle
the situation, it was stated by Lape.
One direct effect of the war time
program in the ladies apparel ousi-
ness is to force cheap merchandise
to much higher prices and to raise
quality merchandise only slightly in
price.
Where substitutions will be needed
the industry already has its labora-
tory technicians engaged in research
to find satisfactory materials. This
is especially true in goods using rub
Der or elastic materials, such al
girdles. Satisfactory substitutes
have already been found for the rub
Der in the girdles and the demands
/ of the trade will be adequately sup
piled, it was pointed out at tn,
Chicago meeting.
Another effect of the war on ladie
apparel will be in the matter of col
oring. Since all available chlorin
must now go to the army, substi
tutes must be found in the manu-
facture of dyes. The laboratorie

ANETTE REACHED up and
wiped the extra rush Of perspira-
ltion from her brow and from be-
meath her back curls, realizing as
she did so, why all members of the
company wore knotted kerchiefs
about their necks. Quick to follow
suit, she dropped the huge ban
ldanna that had been protecting her
hair from the dust down inside the
collar of her clean white shirt The
heat was unbelievable, like an
August day in the smelters.
After the scene had been done q
few more times Larry returned and
took a chair beside his wife. For a
brief moment he watched the re-
hearsal Of August and Sandra
Owens Then he said to Anette,

With words clipped and portsn-
tous she said, Perhaps I should
have stayed in Hollywood"
Now what do you mean by
that?" Despite his injured air, a
dull red appeared through the thick
whiskers that were part Of his
makeup. To ease his uncomfort-
able premonition he poured HIM

shook salt into it to replace that
lost by excessive perspiration be-
meath the desert sun. did you

He commented, Il must say you

face was disgruntled. Immediately
he began dealing out his imitation

The director moved away from
August Drake and the younger
woman to come over and stand be-
fore the grumbling star. After all,

derelict-" The grin on his sweaty,
tanned face did not help appease

larry continued to shout. ITS not

Not so genial now, the director
answered in a voice, caustic and
every bit as loud as Larry's. "Pey-
ton wants his shirt lined with satin.
It scratches him." Appreciative
laughter rose about him and grew
into circles as the little word clash
between the actor and director was
swiftly related to those out of hear
Ing distance.
Larry's whiskered jaws clamped
down against further complaints.
He got up and stalked into his
dressing tent, but his wife did not
follow to offer solace to injured
vanity. She just gazed through her
sun glasses at the bit August and
Sandra Owens were doing for the
director. who now had moved back
90 his place beside the cameras.

Katie sprang forward quickly
and handed cleansing tissues to her
mistress, who with extreme care
biotted the beads OF perspiration
from her makeup.
Though she could not hear the

attitudes Of the women, that ii was

instant when the younger one
barred August Drake from a tent

expression Of pure venom Then.
