Tires, Tubes Frozen
 By Latest OPA Edict

Following the nationwide order freezing all used tires and tubes in the hands of their owners as of Oc- tober l, many Connecticut autoistS are asking questions.
 Does this new order mean l can't sell my tires or tubes to any, body, not even a friend?" goes one of the most common questions.
 The State OPAs answer is: That's right. The order expressly prohibits the sale of used tires and tubes between the owner and any, one else, including dealer.
 Q. What constitutes used tire?
 A. Any tire that has been run 1000 miles or more. The same defi- milton applies to tubes.
 o. What about 8 recapped tire?
 A. Unless 8 recapped tire has been run 1000 miles or more, it is considered new tire and isn't af fected by this order.
 e. Then, does that mean the ownef of a recapped tire which hasn't gone 1000 miles can sell it?
 A. He can sell it only to person with a recapped tire certificate.
 Q. Along the same line, does this new order prevent an autoist from taking a used tire to dealer for recapping?
 A. No, not if the autoist has ob- tained certificate for recapping from his local OPA War Price and Rationing Board.
 o. Speaking of dealers, how does the freeze order affect them2
 A. Well, one dealer may sell used tires and tubes to another dealer He also may sell to consumer used tires which are mounted on ve- hicle as part of its equipment, pro- vided the vehicle transfer is in ac- cordance with the automobile ra-

tioning regulations.
 @. What is the reason for this freeze order?
 A. It comes as a result of recom- mendations of the Baruch Commit tee. This Committee advised issu- ance of such an order to keep in- tact the present supply of used tire castings.
 c. Did the Baruch Committee discover we are running short of castings?
 A. Yes. The, Committee learned that many car operators, essential to the defense program, were unable to make use of recapping certificates because their own easing were unfit for recapping and there are only 8 very few tire castings on the mar ket. No new ones are being made.

LITTLE STORIES FOR BEDTIME

sharply. II always knew you to
be a coward, but this is the first
time I have ever known you to
admit it. Who are you running
away from?"
Shadow the Weasel" replied
Chatterer, still in a very low voice,
as If he were afraid OF being over
heard. Shadow the Weasel is back
in the Green Forest, and I have
just had such narrow escaped"
"Ho!" cried Sammy, "this is i'm
portant. I thought Shadow was up
in the Old Pasture. If he has
come back to the Green Forest
folks ought to know it. Where is
he now?"
Chatterer stopped and told Sammy
all about his narrow escape and
how he had left Shadow the Weasel
in a hollow of chestnut tree with
Redtail the Hawk watching for
him to come out. Sammy's eyes
sparkled when Chatterer told how
he had pulled the tail of Old Red
tail. "And he doesn't know now
who did it; he thinks it was
Shadow" concluded Chatterer with
weak little grin.
"Ho, no, no! Ha, ha, ha!"
laughed Sammy Jay. II wish I
had been there to see It,"
Then he suddenly grew grave.
"Other folks certainly ought to
know that Shadow u back In the
Green Forest" said b, 70 that

Chatterer, the Red Squirrel, was
hurrying through the Green Forest.
He didn't know just where he was
going. He had but one thought,
and that was to get as far away
from Shadow the Weasel as he
could. 1t made him have cold shiv-
ers all over every time he thought
of Shadow.
Seems to me you are in q great
hurry" said a voice from a pine
tree he was passing.
Chatterer knew that voice with
out looking to see who was speak
ing. Everybody in the Green Forest
knew that voice. 1t was the voice
of Sammy Jay.
"It looks to me as If you were
running away from some one,"
jeered Sammy.
Chatterer wanted to stop and
pick quarrel with Sammy, as he
usually did when they met, but the
fear of Shadow the Weasel was
still in his heart.
T-I-am." he said in a very low
voice.
Sammy Jay looked as If he
thought he hadn't heard right.
Never before had he known Chat
terer to admit that he was afraid,
for you know Chatterer is great
boaster. 1t must be something very
serious to frighten Chatterer like
that.

Soil, climate and seed suited to
one another must be the first con-
sideration of the farmer planting
his fields in corn. After this he has
drought or too much moisture to
contend with, and the corn plant
is very attractive to insect pests.
Especially does he have to be alert
for the bollworm or corn earworm,
whose appetite costs the growers
over our land we'll over $4,000,000
annually. OF course, there also are
corn smut and fungus diseases and
other difficulties.
There are weeds that flourish in
the corn fields, and there are a few
animals that are fond of corn in the
milk stage, but these are Of minor
importance.
For food, we find that corn con-
tains protein, carbohydrates other
than fiber, a trace of fat, crude fiber,
ash, calcium, phosphorus, iron and
copper, Vitamins B-1, C and G.
Corn now holds first rank among
agricultural products of the United
States. About one-half of the corn
grown in the world is raised in our
country.
During the early days, when the
New World was being settled, the
whites learned from the Indians
how to use maize as food. The
English-speaking colonies cultivated
maize in the fields and called 1t
Indian corn" later just corn. And
this word has come to have a spe-
cial meaning on this continent which
it does not have in Britain.

starch. OF course, they also take
into consideration that many acres
are planted to corn so that we may
have fresh sweet corn for summer
eating.
The list Of products made from
the corn kernel in refining plants
is impressive. Starches alone total
80. These starches are needed in
the home, by confectioners, paper
makers, bakers, laundries, cosmeti-
clans, pharmaceutical manufac-
turers, in brewing, pastes for paper
hanging, soap, asbestos, textiles and
so on. Then the dextrins-used in
CLUES. fireworks, leather. mucilage,
twine, carpets, colors, window
shades, special gums, to list few.
We have not mentioned the sirups,
used on the table, in beverages,
brewing. tobacco, jams, jellies. ice
cream and preserves. Neither have
we listed the sugars, the oils, feeds
and, last but not least, the miscel-
laneous needs that call for some
product from corn.
Today there are many new uses
being found for this wonderful
plant. When peace is restored, we

North maintains that there was
no point in showing his clubs over
three diamonds, for it was impossi-
BILE for South to have club support.
When South then rebid the dia-
monds, North indicated which of
the red suits he liked better.
South insists that North bid the
hand like foot. He not only con-
cealed the tive-card club suit, but
also refused to rebid the five card
spade suit. His actual bidding
sounded like four spades, four clubs,
three diamonds and two hearts.
With that distribution only a modi-
cum of high-card strength was
needed to bring in II tricks.
The results tend to back up
South, since four spades could have
been made without much trouble.
But six diamonds was set three
tricks! Results aside, who was
right?"
South was perfectly correct and
North should take the mothballs
out of his sackcloth suit, for he
should be repenting vigorously. 1t
was all right for North to suppress
the clubs, but over four diamonds
he should have bid four spades. If
South had three-card spade sup
port, as was actually the case, it
would be difficult for South to raise
the spades for fear that North had
four card suit. If South had poor
support for spades there would be
time later on for North to indicate
a preference for diamonds. Had
North bid four spades South would
(or should have passed, and a sound
contract would have been reached.

Farmers have harvested record
corn crop for 1912. The yield was
about IS bushels per acre, the price
received averaging II cents per
bushel. Despite the serious handi-
cap of labor shortage, lack of new
machinery and even vital repair
parts for old ones, the farmers have
reached the goal they set for
themselves when they were asked to
bring in bumper crop.
Few Americans realize how i'm
portant corn is to their we'll being.
Some think of corn as needed for
canning, to be fed to stock and for
