Answer: Before the days Of
modern office methods and banks
of steel filing cabinets, It was Gus
tomary to store documents In bun
dies tied with red tape. When 1t
became necessary to consult such
papers, the Job was laborious, and,
we may be sure, more than a little
dusty.
The expression has long been
used. Dickens. in David Copper
aeld, described something as being
"skewered through and through
with ONCE pins and bound hand and
foot with red tape" And red tape
vas what he had in mind when, IN
Little Dorrit, he wrote: Whatever
was required to be done, the Cir
eumlocution Once was beforehand

do it,"

LANSING, Nov. 19-Unable to
obtain lard. state institutions were
prevented today from using oleo-
margarine as a substitute because
butter producing rural legislators
forbade its use back in 1891.
Attorney General Herbert j.
|Rushton ruled the ancient statute
was still in effect in an opinion
written for acting budget director
Il. j. Mcneil, who said the state
purchasing department could not
obtain lard in sufficient quanti-
tiles.
THE act clearly prohibits the
use Of this product in state insti-
tutions for any purpose" Rush.
ton said. However. other sub
stitutes for lard may be used"
Rushton also ruled:
. County boards of supervisors
are without authority to admin
lister relief TO indigents, this
duty being the sole duty of
county boards.
. Gasoline and weight tax
funds cannot be used by county
road commissions in improving
airports.

moving rapidly into the "fron-
tai attack" phase. That is, the
OPA is swinging more and more
into action on retail price con-
troll and rationing, instead of
the rear guard" or delaying
actions" it has employed in the
months past. Price ceilings will
get more and more numerous,
and will be applied more direct
ly to retail prices of articles, ra-
ther than to wholesale ones on
materials and commodities. Ac-
ton on basic cost-of- living in
%fluencers like food, clothing and
rents will be stressed first. It's
hard to anticipate the specific
steps. but the wise thing for
Mr.. and Mrs. John @. Public
to do is keep eyes and ears open
for all developments in the price
line - up or down and shop
thriftily and intelligently. For
instance, there's definite news
on new regulations about in
stallment buying. Starting on
March % the time periods al
lowed will be shorter, down
payments must be larger, and
seven new items come under
this regulation.

 The figures, the statisticians ex- plain, would mean that the nat ural rate of increase for the Amer ican population during l94l was 8.1 per 1000, as compared with the av- craze rate of 2 per 1000 for the To- year period 1930-1940. While the situation respecting the nations re- productivity thus apparently indi- cated by this crude rate of natural increase appears favorable, they point out that it is not as favor able as it seems, when the true rate of natural increase is taken into consideration. In computing the II e rate, the statisticians say, al- lowance is made for the effect of the present peculiar age distribu- ton of the population, with a rela- lively high proportion of persons in the reproductive ages.
