RARE ARE new gadgets in
war time, but a humdinger has
just been placed on the market
TO ease the life of the family
cook. Its food slicer ;. and
one that really works. We know
whereof we speak, for we saw
it in operation.
Although it's strange look
ing contraption, it's very simple.
A solid metal platform slides up
and down a wire frame. To adj
just for thickness of slices, the
platform is placed the desired
distance away from a top plat
form. under which lies the cut
ting edge.
To sharpen this edge, apply
the same filing device you use
for a carving knife. 1t cuts a
surprisingly number of different
foods from tough rinds of lem
ons to thin-skinned tomatoes.

Hors d'Oeuvres

or as hors d'oeuvres. Screen star
Lucille Ball, who told US this
one, calls 'em sausage sombreros.
Buy a piece of ham bologna,
one fairly fat through the
middle. Cut it in thin slices,
then cut each slice once from
the center TO the edge. Then.
with a colored cocktail pick, pin
these edges together, so the
sausage circle points up in the
center to look like a small hat.
Put a stuffed olive on either
end of the pick. Arrange the
sombreroS in rows on a tray,
and you'll find they really do
look like hats, each trimmed
with an ornamental hatpin.

Overtime Pay Saves

Extra Wages Offset
By Lower Overhead,
Committee Is Told

Overtime pay for work in ex-
cess of a 40-hour week does not
increase the cost Of war produc-
ton, because it is offset by re-
duced overhead and faster pro-
duction, President William Green
of the American Federation Of
Labor today told Senate Appro-
priations Subcommittee investi-
eating war production and labor
relations.
Declaring also that compulsion
can do nothing that free workers
will not give in larger and more gen.
erous measure when they are offered
the opportunity to cooperate, Mr..
Green made this appeal:
II earnestly urge Congress not to
take the heart out OF the voluntary
cooperation offered by American
workers. by lettering them with re-
strictive legislation"
Union labor. he said, is whole
heartedly behind the war program"
Proposes Incentive Pay
Yesterday Donald M. Nelson,
chairman Of the War Production
Board, suggested to the Senators
that a system of distinguished
awards plus incentive pay" in key
industries be tried to stimulate war
production.
Mr.. Green recommended that the
Government take control over sub
contracting as a means of increasing
the war output, declaring that de
liveries are often late because COM
panies refuse to subcontract work"
The A. F. L. chief also asked the
Appropriations group to investigate
the sources of mail flowing into con-
gressional Offices, urging restrictions
on labor legislation during the war
In support of his claim that over
time pay does not boost the cost
of war production, Mr.. Green said

Early Purchase Of Coal
For Next Winter Urqed

The Commissioners, in a formal
proclamation issued today, urged
home Owners and other coal consum-
ers, such as laundries, apartment
houses, hotels, churches. clubs and
stores, to place their orders as soon
after April 1 as possible to cover
their needs for next winter.
The city heads said the Ofiice OF
the Bituminous Coal Consumers
Counsel had called their attention
to the fact that the bituminous coal
situation "is rapidly becoming criti-
cal and demands immediate action
if our citizens are to avoid heatless
days next winter"
The proclamation pointed out that
the war industries and utilities will
require more coal. as will the rail-
roads and ships called upon to move
troops, supplies and munitions. The
necessary use of transportation
facilities for war purposes will de-
crease the number of locomotives.
cars. coal ships and barges to move
coal to supply domestic markets, the
Commissioners said.
