Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

Chronic bronchitis may develop if
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inf1amed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to

President Roosevelt has urged

The President emphasized in let

TOOL, DIE MAKERS
IN GREAT DEMAND
Twice The Present Number
Needed To Speed Up War
Production

DETROIT, Feb. 19.-(P)-Ernest
Kanzler, chief of the War Produc
ton Boards automotive division
gave emphasis today to the magni
tute of the arms manufacturing
task before the nations former car
| industry when he said at a press
conference that twice the number
of available tool designers and die
makers will not be too many for
the job ahead.
An employment survey in the De-
troit area, Kanzler said, disclosed
that $4,000 tool and die makers are
employed in the tool shops. "If
the automotive industry is to meet
it's commitments in 1912" he said,
tool shops in the Detroit district
are not doing so because we haven't
got enough tool makers and trainees
to run three shifts, but tool shop
black-outs must be eliminated"
, Kanzler said an agreement reach
ed yesterday on wage stabilization
in the tool and die shops would
open the way for training and up
grading more tool and die workers.
The industry production chief said
that the big three" Chrysler,
General Motors and Ford - would
be running at the rate of $10,500,-
100000 a year when they reached
capacity production, but fastened
to point out that top output cannot
be attained until more women are
trained and put at war work.
During the last half of 1912 the
labor load on the industry is going
to pick up" he said. mot only
will all former workers be recalled,
but it will be absolutely necessary
to recruit new workers. The armed
forces will drain several million
men from the ranks of factory
workers by the end of 1912.
Before the automotive' industry
hits it's peak war production sche-
dule, it will need between 800, 900
and 100000 workers, compared to
0OU,UUU uuIlIl6 pSeASN eAAliS' llOl 2
are literally thousands of operations
which can be done better by wom-
en- because of the nimble skill of
their fingers. So the sooner the
need for more women workers in
industry is appreciated. The quick
er the war program can reach al
sustaining pace equal to the de-
mands of the armed forces"
Kanzler said that a war produc-
ton board survey places the 1912
machine tool and cutting tool re-
ouirements at $2,360,OOO, 900 against
an indicated output of such equip
ment of approximately $1,360, ,O00,-
600.
The answer, he added, is a care
full distribution of machines and
tools to obtain maximum utilization.
Kanzler is keeping a record of
the industry's conversion progress
through monthly reports from all
companies on their volume of pro-
duction and the number of EN-.
ployees working. He indicated the
conversion will be regarded as COM
plete when dollar output and en-
ployes at work equal the 1941
