Food Store Sales Hit New High;
Wholesale Rise Cuts Net Gain

The food store has set a new
high record in weekly sales. Total
sales for the week ending Decem-
Der 81 amounted to $4,805. Last
weeks sales were also high, ap-
preaching very close to the record
established the previous week, it

While there mas been an in
creased dollar volume this year
over last year, the net profit mas
not been greater because of econo-
mic conditions the management
has indicated. There have been in
creases in retail costs, which
accounts for some of the addition
al dollar volume, but the increases
IN wholesale costs have much
more than offset them. Wholesale
prices advanced "a percent during

Physicians Hours
To the Editor:

10 the Editor:
Attention should be called to the
new and peculiarly amazing sched-
ule of Office hours at the Health
association. At a time when many
of our men are working seven
days a week in crowded Washing
ton no provision is made for their
medical care during evening or 90
Saturdays.
During hectic wartime checks on
health and emphasis on mainten-
ance of working capacity among
employees is more important than
ever. Defense work in health must
include adequate medical care for
our working population as well
as adequate civilian training IN
first aid.
May we hope that the schedule
of office hours will be revised TO
provide easily obtainable medical
care for those of US who need it
most and can't obtain it as the
schedule is now constituted.
A ready answer may be Home,
not office calls!" Home calls cost
more. Much preventive and early
attention to. illness won't be secur-
ed when Office hours aren't avail
able. Medical care cost shouldn't
rise when medical care is more
necessary than ever.

Army Urges Engagements,
Not Weddings, in Australia
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
MELBOURNE, April l5.-United
States commanders in Australia have
been instructed to do their utmost
to persuade American soldiers not
to marry while serving in the South
west Pacific, Maj. John Kinney,
chief of the chaplains, said yester-
day.
we don't want our soldiers to
undertake responsibilities of family
life at this time" Maj. Kinney said
In an interview. At present the
American soldier can guarantee his
Australian wife nothing. He doesn't
even know where he is going to be
from day to day.
1--WE encourage engagements. II
after the war a soldier wants to
remain in Australia, settle down and
raise family, I say 60 to it. I
recommend our boys highly as fu-
ture Australian citizens"
Some 80 of the A. E. F. took
Australian brides soon after they
arrived, causing sharp protests from
Australian churchmen. Australian
newspapers came swiftly to the aid
of the lovelorn with apologies for
the pastors criticism.

War Effort Handicaps
Found in State
Legal Restrictions
instances of Trucks
And Workers Halted
At Border Cited

State and local legal restrictions
In many areas are hampering the
Nations war effort. according TO re-
ports reaching the Commerce De-
partment.
These restrictions. officials pointed
out today, are preventing the maxi
mum use of the country's transpor-
tation facilities. the full mobility
and utilization of labor and services.
and the national distribution of
farm products. Local regulations
In some areas, II Is said, are barring
the use In construction of approved
substitutes TO conserve critical ma
terials.
Trade experts are urging the need
of Federal action, in cooperation
with State and local governments,
in removing the more serious OF
these obstacles to the war program.
Loaded Trucks stopped.
Because of the differences in
weight and length regulations,
trucks carrying war materials often
are halted at State lines and COM
PEELED to unload and reload into
smaller units, with resulting delays
and additional expense. Failure of
many States to grant reciprocity for
registration fees paid In other States
Is another frequent cause of delay
and extra cost. =
In the 4th Army maneuvers last
year a cavalry detachment from
California. travelling In trucks, was
forced to give up its trucks on
reaching the Oregon border, be-
cause they exceeded the weight
limits prescribed by the regulations
of that State. The cavalry unit
then boarded a train, o transfer
that involved a delay In the military
time table.
Some States have limited freight
trains to length of 10 cars. Ari-
zona is one of these States. As q
result of this limit, railroads operat-
ing in Arizona last year were re-
quired to add more than 400
freight trains to their through
schedules. In neighboring States,
freight trains of 100 or more cars
were the rule.
Workers Halted at Border.
Approximately 100000 persons, 1t
Is estimated, migrate across State
lines each year seeking industrial
and agricultural employment. Ac-
cording to Commerce Department
survey, n States have on their stat
ute books anti-migratory laws which
interfere with the free inter State
movement of farm and industrial
workers.
Another obstacle to the mobility
of labor are the drastic restrictions
In many State laws governing the
licensing Of plumbers, contractors,
electricians and other skilled crafts
men. The limitations on the right
of persons to engage in certain pro-
fessions similarly impose obstacles
to the transfer Of doctors, engineers,
dentists and nurses to States where
they are most needed.
Sunday laws present another
problem. Several States prohibited
labor and industry on Sunday, and
many truck drivers transporting
war materials on Sunday have been
arrested for violating these laws.
Somewhat similar are the restric-
tions In some States on the night
time employment of women and
children.

DISMISSED!


, That was the Courts answer, just a
few days ago, to each and every charge
made against Royal Crown Cola by our
largest competitor, who claimed the sole
right to use the word "cola" as part of
the name of drink.
The Court recognized that cola has
been used m various ways for many gen.
erations, and that the word "cola" is
the generic term for type of beverages
known as "cola drinks" of which there
are many.
For 35 years, we have been making
