lao, 0O0-TON SCRAP GOAL
SET FOR MOUNTAIN AREA

Local salvage committees of
cities and towns in the Rocky
Mountain region got a goal to
shoot at in their national sal
wage program campaign for iron
and steel scrap.
The conservation division of
the war production board set a
quota of 100000 tons of scrap
iron and steel to be collected
in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico
and wyoming before Dec. 81 to
assure that blast furnaces of the
steel industry will continue to
operate full-tilt through the
winter months.
At the same time, the COM
mitteeS received additional Pied
ges of cooperation from four of
Americas largest industries -
auto, oil. rubber and farm i'm
plementS.
Local dealers in these indus
tries will offer their cooperation
in helping salvage committee
collect the scrap to meet state
quotas. The goals by states for
the mountain area are: Colo
RADIO, $4,000 tons; Utah, SO, OOO
tons; wyoming, $1,000 tons; and
New Mexico, 10000 tons.
The state salvage committee
of the four states relayed to
local committees a telegram
from Donald M. Nelson, WPB
chief, and Leasing j. Rosen-
valid, chief of WPB,s conserva-
ton division, asking them to
make use of the scrap materi-
ais collection facilities offered
the national salvage program
by the four industries.
Leaders of these industries
have informed WPB that ap-
proximately 100000 local dealers
stand ready to serve in the
campaign by providing facilities
for collecting scrap rubber and
metals of all kinds.
The industry groups are COOP

Foundation - in the case of the

BETTER SERVICE PROVIDED
FOR TIRE BUYERS

Acting to prevent a tie-up of
essential transportation, the
OPA has provided means by
which those who get rationing
certificates can be supplied
quickly with tires of any size.
Manufacturers are permitted,
with certain restrictions, to
store tires an tubes regionally
in private warehouses and other
premises where they will be
convenient to meet demand.
Even retail establishments may
be used for storage, provided the
manufacturers stocks are segre-
gated from the dealers and are
not subject to his control.
One large U. S. ordnance
plant has 100 miles of railroads
or enough to service a city of
100000 people.

ONE FROM THE BOOK
It's obvious enough that the
ultimate goal of virtually all
sabotage plots is the Gripping
of units in the nations vital
war industries. Now it appears
that Uncle Sam, in at least one
case, has taken a leaf from the
enemy's book in fitting a new
weapon into the defense of war
plants. The ancient japanese
art of jiu jitsu has been Amer
icanized, Streamlined and, in
the case of guards at the WHY'S
Overland plant, renamed "jeep-
jitsu" in tribute to the rock
'em-and-sock-'em army scout
cars being produced in the
plant. Courses are under the
direction of Dewey Mitchell, a
former circus acrobat who STU
died the arm-tWisting art in
Japan and who also instructs
army officers. Skill in jeep jitsu
is especially valuable to plant
sentries in these times because
it enables many older men to
fill jobs that otherwise would
require more youth and muscle.
THINGS TO WATCH FOR

fibre-board sides instead OF
steel - being tested by Canad-
ian Pacific -. A bicycle hitch

pencil is concerned - it was
the Eagle pencil company which
made the change in product
name we reported, from Mi
kado" to "Mirado" Among
strange things being considered
by U. S. Department of Agri-
culture are: cactus plants as a
source of granulated sugar, Or
ange pulp as a source of gun

mated to hold $18.75, the price

CONVERTIBILITY
A footnote on the lengths to
which American industries have
gone in converting themselves
from civilian to war goods pro-
duction is seen in news that
the incendiary bombs dropped
on Tokyo and other Japanese
cities by the General Doolittle
expedition were made by a

ALL NEW ADULT BICYCLES
SUBJECT TO RATIONING

Officials of the office of price
administration warn that all
new adult bicycles are subject
to rat:oning regulations even
though they may have been dis
assembled or altered or the
parts changed. Reports that
some sellers were cutting the
seat post masts from the frames
of bicycles to make the meas

Driving Pledges
BeDistributed

Parents and other members OF
the family old enough to drive
cars, represented by more than
I 2OO.O69 children of Ohio, this
week are being enrolled in Gov.
John w. Bricker's war transpor-
tation conservation program.
Through the cooperative eff
forts of Director of Highways,
Hal G. Sours and Director OF
Education Kenneth c. Kay,
pledge cards are being sent to all
school principals who in turn are
copying and distributing them
through pupils to adult family
members.
Under the plan, which is al
ready receiving widespread ap-
proval, car drivers pledge them
seleves to the following: l: To
drive less; 2. To drive no faster
than 40 miles per hour; 3. TO
swap rides; a. To protect tires;
5. To help prevent accidents. Al
ter the card is signed it is mail
ed in to the Department of High
wavs, State Office Building, Col
umbuS.
According to highway depart
ment statisticians, based on nor
NAL usage, tires wear out at the
average rate of 312 per cent per
month, and even if all the motor
vehicles were equipped with new
tires today, motor transportation
would disappear entirely by the
fall of 1914. But since many OF
them have tires of medium or an
cient vintage, creeping paraly-
sis" in many cases has already
set in.
"This conservation of automo-
biles and tires in Ohio is a vital
war necessity" Director of High
WAYS Sours commented: "lt's i'm
portance should be brought home
to every man and woman, every
boy and girl old enough to
drive a car in the state of Ohio.

ize that his only hope of continu-
ed transportation facilities lies
in projecting the life Of his pres

He called the whole family to-

dinner table.
He told them he was tired of
checking up on them all the time.
He said he thought they were old
enough now to check up on them
selves. The older children would
watch the younger ones. They
would have meetings every so
often and hand out rewards or
punishments.
Well, it was a crazy idea but the
kids liked it and they started be-
having better than they ever had
before. The idea worked and Dad
finally did get little time for him
