and loading facilities, although there
is no competition between them in
the actual shipping space used.
The tea trade AS whole, exclusive
of stocks held by retailers. now has
enough tea in this country to last
probably until March, l943, on the
basis of present curtailed quota al
lowances without considering re-
plenishment by imports.
Under prevailing conditions the
days of plenty for tea are over for
the duration and the conservation
of what there is on hand is now a
matter Of real importance in the
American home. The primary rule
for conserving the kitchen shelf
supply is the avoidance of waste,
usually the result of careless or i'm
proper methods of brewing the tea.
Careful observance of the basic
rules of correct tea brewing will add
greatly to the life of supplies on
hand. These rules may be sum-
married. as follows:
l. easure carefully the
amount of tea and boiling water
put into the pot. One level tea
spoon of tea and one cup of boil
ing water should be used for each
cup of tea. Don't guess the
amount, either of the tea or the
boiling water. This is the chief
cause Of waste.
q Convention has always ad-
vised an extra teaspoon of tea for
the pot. AS special wartime
measure, this can be eliminated
without seriously impairing the
brew. Each teaspoon of tea thus
saved means another cup another
day.
3. Always make sure that the
water is actually boiling, not just
steaming but bubbling. One of
the principal causes of waste is
water not brought to the boiling
point. 1t must be boiling when
poured on the tea leaves in order
to bring out the full flavor.
4. Brew the tea for at least five
minutes before pouring. If a
weaker brew is desired, three
minutes is usually sufficient.
Don't be impatient, however. since
the full flavor of the tea will not
be released until it is given suffi-
cient time to brew.
If these rules are followed care
fully one pound of tea should pro-
duce approximately 200 cups and
even more if a weaker brew is pre-
ferred.

increase supplies between III ana 70
per cent during the coming year,
depending upon such imponderables
as drought. flood, labor shortage and
curtailment through enemy action.
The japanese hold Singapore. the
Andaman Islands and the eastern
coast of the Bay Of Bengal. They
now threaten India. Shipping losses
in the Bay of Bengal, already heavy,
might at some time in the future
make it impractical for Calcutta TO
continue as the great tea exporting
port. Chittagong. another tea-ex-
porting harbor close to the India
Burma border, has been partially
evacuated. Ceylon has been ralded.
Added to this is the fact that most
of India's 5,OO0-odd tea gardens lie
in Northeast India, some of them
directly across the japanese lnva-
sion path from Burma. Exporting
from Calcutta begins IN June and
lasts to early January, reaching its
peak during the late summer and
fall. 1t is doubtful If the many
millions of pounds Of tea produced
tn North India during this period
could be cleared easily through any
other harbors.
Shipping has been a problem since
Itsly's entry into the war diverted
steamers around the Cape Of Good
Hope. However. ships of the United
Nations are continuing to ply be-
tween this continent and the Indian
ports, exchanging war supplies for
vital war materials. The Office Of
Price Administration has so far
given tea a civilian priority rating
and the Emergency Shipping Board
has seen to the delivery of tea for
the following important reasons:
|. Tea is a civilian necessity,
used in 8 out of 10 American
homes.
2. Tea is of value in main
tanning economic balance for
MANY American families. It de-
livers from 165 to 200 cups to the

by WPB order, must carry large
percentages of ore and other
heavyweight, small-bulk items.
This makes lightweight, large
bulk cargoes a desirable COM
panion item. Tea meets this
specifca ton 1t is light, clean
cargo with higher value per
cubic foot than most major COM
modities.
Recently a new factor has been
added to the problem of getting tea
onto ships. Operation of the old
formula of using tea AS balloon
cargo which has worked very well
heretofore, is now restricted by the
fact that internal transportation
and port loading facilities in Indai
and Ceylon are overwhelmed. The
major problem now is to get tea
transported to ports and loaded onto
ships. Tea must now compete with
vital war materials. such as essential
oils. In the use of internal haulage

Young Ted Schroeder, Jr..
of California, who was just

a guide to locate the remote out
laying court on which he played
his first match.
1t is not, of course. that Ted's
tennis has improved so sensa-

His match with Bobbitt was
about as promising as anything
on today's program, the South

better than fair player TO- sew
