Take Ny Word for 1t
By FRANK COLBY.

Since long threatened rationing
has finally become an actuality in
the United States, scores Of readers
nave implored, Please tell us
whether ration should rhyme with
nation or with fashion As We
hear the word pronounced both
ways. we are greatly confused as
to which is correct.
Readers, be of good cheer! Both
pronunciations are listed by all the
accepted English and American die
tionaries. However, it should be
noted that the rhyme with nation
is the first choice Of all authorities
consulted. Also. logically, 1t is the
better choice, for in all the other
words in which -ation occurs, the
sole and traditional pronunciation
is "Ay-shun."
First choice: RAY-shun.
Second choice: RASH-un.

lage, and they trace their trade back
4 long time. They say that their an
ceStors have been "wheelwrights and
village blacksmiths for 500 years"
The work of that family, and Of
other English wheelwrights, was on
the downgrade until after the pres
ent war broke out. They made a
living because there were some
wagons and farm machines to take
care Of, but business was not very
good. Lately, however, they report
4 brisk trade. Thanks to the short
age Of gasoline and tires for motor
cars, wagons and carriages have
come back" to some extent.
1t was in England that the first
air-filled, or pneumatic" tire was
patented. The invention was made
almost 100 years ago. In a road test,
tires made according to the patent
lasted for 1900 miles, but this did
not bring them into general use.
Later. an Irishman in Belfast took
up the idea. His name was Dunlop,
and he obtained patent in England.
1t WAS found that Dunlops air-fllled
rubber tires gave good service. and
they were widely used for bicycle
wheels Later came air-filled tires
for automobiles.

How Did 1t Start?

Baltimore: Will you please ex-
plain why Settlers and COCKER
spaniels are so called?-W. o. D
Answer: The setter originally was
trained to come to q crouch. belly
to the ground, instead of standing
erect and pointing. The dog was
said to set" q covey OF birds. Incl
dentally, the setter was developed
from the spaniel family. while the
pointer Is of the hound family.
Cookers are so called because the
breed was developed for the retriev-
ing OF woodcocks.

THE STATE INCOME
TAX AND IT'S GOAL

The State Comptroller j. Willard
IaWcS, expresses confidence that the
Maryland state income tax will again
yield the S8,44O,OOO goal set for it.
There seems to be little reason why
1t should not. and perhaps even sur
pass that goal, in view of the fact
that its rates are unconscionably high,
having been boosted 500 per cent at
one clip. That was before the heavy
increase in federal income taxes
came along Those taxes coupled with
the high state income taxes have
made the income tax burden exceed
in&Iy onerous for Marylanders.
Nothing more IS heard Of Cover
nor O'Conor's WldeIy-heralded pledge
to bring about reduction IN the
state income taxes 'up to as much as
fifteen per cent,
The thing that has chiefly silenced
the governor and other state officials
on TINS IS the loss OF revenue faced by
the wartime restrictions on motor We
hicles and the cessation Of the manu-
factufe OF new cars.
That reduction, however, may not
be so great as some have feared, in
aSmuch as ta%-yleIdlng gasoline and

Feeding our mobile army, therefore,
involves a giant transportation prob
lem. The locally produced commodities
move by rail, motor truck or boat
just as they do in the commercial
field. Perishables move in refriger-

which begin their journey by rail
travel to various railroads and are
then trucked to the divisions and
taken by truck to the regiments and
individual organizations that will con-
sumo them
Speed and efficiency OF this transpor-
tation depends on the highways. First.
there must be good roads to the farms

Feeding Our Mobile
Army

A modern army equipped to wage
modern war presents a striking
contrast to yesterdays armed forces.
In today's warfare speed and mobility
are paramount. During the last war
it was remarkable and unusual for
troops to advance or move over 20
miles a day, and most of the war was
fought from stabilized positions with
the front lines sometimes unchanged
for days. With the new mobile army.
however. the situation is very differ
emit. All troops are motorized or are
mechanical lightning striking troops
that cover POO or more miles day.
They do not attempt to initiallv estab-
hsh positions. but to break through
the enemy at various points with tanks
and planes, closely followed by the
infantry in scout cars, command cars,
jeeps and trucks,
Now, as with the old slower NOV
ing army, supplies must keep pace
with the fighting elements. The United
States Army has never been one to
live off the land it is occupying on
passing through. 1t has never been a
scavenger. Therefore, system Of
food procurement in the rear areas
and shipment to the front is neces-
STATED.
In planes. tanks and armored cars
and on the persons Of the soldiers
must be carried highly concentrated
rations such as REQUIRE small space
and are light in weight. These are the
emergency rations and are not to be
used unless the reguIar rations have
