MISUNDERSTANDING

TYPICAL Yankee ingenuity in
helping our war effort is being
shown by Russell w. Elliott the
operator of a shooting park near Kan
sas City, who is reaping harvest of
lead for use against the Axis
Elliott is threshing shotgun pellets,
using a wheat rye and oats harvesting
combine borrowed from a nearby farm
to carry on this important war sal
wage work.
Millions of lead slugs, used in eight
years of trap shooting, are imbedded
in the grass and soil Of a six acre
area behind where sportsmen shoot at
clay pigeons.
This soil is shoyeled up to depth
of ABOUT an inch and is then put
through the threshing machine The
dirt goes ont the stack along with the
grass while the shot falls down the
grain chute and is recovered.

WASHINGTON, May 13 - R -
Gasoline rationing officials said to-
day the 5O-1nile twilight zon e.
along the Western fringe of the
gasoline rationing area would be
eliminated in an order shortly to
be announced.
AS originally drawn, the Office
of Price Administrators regula-
tions provided that persons living
in the rationing states could not
buy gasoline in the 50-mile wide
strip without using ration card.
This was intended to discourage
trips "across the border for un.
limited gasoline supplies.
However, OPA's week end de
cision to exempt SO counties il
several of the ration states appear
ed likely to complicate administra
ton of the order, officials said, to
such an extent that it was decided
to abandon the entire twilight
