CHLORINE RESTRICTED.

Dads white shirts may lose that
cracking lustre and your sheets and
pillow slips may turn out not quite
so white, but you've got to get along
on less chlorine. It's needed for war
purposes.
Chlorine comes in a variety of names
for household uses, but whatever the
name, it comes under War Pro-
duction Board restriction. At one
point, this restriction says that "all
laundry operations must do without
chlorine with the exception of 10 per
cent of former usage for stain con-
ditions." This won't affect the clean
illness of clothes.

ALUMINIUM AND FEATHERS.

AS an example Of the alnist limit
less effect Of the war on everyday
activity, consider these two extremes.
The same day that the War Produc-
ton Board decided to round up TO-
100000 pounds if aluminum and to
limit new construction of radio stations,
it also reached out with an order
barring civilian use of goose and duck
feathers Sounds like trivial until you
recall that these feathers are needed
for sleeping bags that soldiers use in
the field. Nothing in total war is
trivial.

ASK SCHOOLS
TEACH Driving

Two great, statewide organizations,
whose memberships reach into every
community, large or small, in Mime
sofa have joined the movement to
make instruction in safe driving a
regular part of every high school
course.
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton, with an active membership of
more than $4,000, and the Minnesota
School Board association, comprising
school directors representing 1000
public school districts throughout the
state, both have notified NJ. j. Hoff-
mann, state highway commissioner, of
action taken at their recent state
conventions in support of the move
ment to make the teaching of proper
motor vehicle operation in traffic a
part of regular high school instruc-
ton.
lowing to the appalling lack of
knowledge, on the part of our young
people, of the rules of the road and
of driving cars, and their indifferent
attitude toward the dangers involved
in mishandling cars, all as shown by
the relatively greater number of acci-
dents involving young people, we
strongly recommend that the high
schools of Minnesota teach a course
in driving and handling of motor
vehicles" said the resolution adopted
by the Farm Bureau convention.

best, limited amount.
Chemicals used in anti-freeze are

I2-GAUGE MESSAGE.
There will be no more deliveries of
12-gauge shot guns to civilians. Man
ufacturers were ordered by the War
Production Board to limit all deliveries
of this familiar duck pass and corn
field weapon to officers of federal,
state and local governments and to
governments of Lend-Lease countries
for official use only.
Purpose of the order is to make
the guns available for protection Of
war plants or other local guard duties.
Another provision of the order pro-
hibits manufacturers from using ma
chinery for turning out shot guns Of
other gauges. No order was issued
relative to 12-gauge shells.

MAY DISPOSE OF STOCK
A plan by which tire dealers and
jobbers can dispose of their new pas
senger car tires and tubes by selling
back to manufacturers or distributors
has been worked out by the Off1ce of
Price Administration, Leon Henderson,
administrator, said today.
The plan is intended to relieve
dealers from the financial burden Of
carrying their stocks over the period
in which they can make few sales
under the tire rationing plan, Mr..
Henderson said
In selling them back, these dealers
may add up to ten per cent of their
lost to cover various expenses incurred
in carrying the tires and tubes since
sales were stopped. Manufacturers are
required to buy them back under the
cost-pluS arrangement.
Henderson explained that the plan
also will concentrate initial control of
nearly all new passenger car tires and
tubes in the government. This is
expected to minimize bootlegging of
tires.
SEEK TRANSPORT LABOR.
The WPB's office of defense trans
portation has undertaken a detailed
survey of labor requirements in the
transportation industry preparatory to
a program aimed at keeping the
supply adequate at all times.
Location Of the most pressing man
power problems in the industry is
anticipated in the survey. To fill the
needs, training programs will be
expanded and new personnel re-
cruited to meet the rapidly rising
need for transportation services Of
the country.
NO USE To TRY.
Price Administrator Leon Henderson
said today there is absolutely no use
for a civilian consumer to apply for
priority rating for purchase of a
new tire or tube
Henderson's statement was issued to
clear up misunderstanding of pro-
cedure still extant is many sections
where civilian consumers have be-
lieved themselves eligible for priority
ratings on tubes and tires. Henderson
said the only way to get castings or
tubes is through the local rationing
board.

TIN CANS.

America has become so accustomed
to getting everything from COM
plete dinner to shoe polish in tin
cans that the thought of doing with
out these containers is almost beyond
comprehension. Many articles now
packaged in tin cans are going to be
wrapped differently, but there still will
be enough to go around for home
canning in the latter part of the
summer.
Many housewives have turned to tin
cans for prevervation of her favorite
recipes and for a time it looked as
if the heavy war needs for tin would
cut them out entirely. The War Pro-
duction Board, however, wants the
nations housewives to can more than
ever and is making 100000 cans
available for the purpose. They'll
use up about 100 tons of tin.

FOR MEN.
SAVE ANTT-FREEZE!

Save that anti-freeze when you
drain your car radiator this spring!
That's advice from the War Produc-
ton Board because there may be
none of it available next winter or at
best, limited amount.
Chemicals used in anti-freeze are
needed for explosives and for Army
and Navy tank and airplane opera
tionS

LABELS ON BED LINENS.

Here's an example of the thorough
ness with which the Office of Price
Administration works. 1t recently
directed manufacturers of bed linens
to label plainly those of second rate
quality as seconds"
Some manufacturers went him one
better and labeled their products
second selection" Apprehensive that
this designation might be misleading
to some purchasers, the OPA clamped
down. Labels go back to just plain
seconds"
SUMMER DRESSES.
The simpler things in summer dress
materials will be the vogue this year
Patterns and colorS are to be
greatly simplified as a war measure
Shades are going to be lighter, with
heavier shades prohibited altogether
Less of the cloth will be colored, leav-
ing more white background. There will
also be a fewer patterns.
The reason is that dyes and other
products needed for dress materials
draperies and slip covers are needed
for war products.
EGG CASE PRICES.
The egg for your breakfast cup must
get to you at the lowest cost possible
SO the OPA has reached out to fiS
the price on egg cases. Egg cases
figure in the price the housewife pays
Since these cases are used over anc
over again, the OPA has fixed price
scale, ranging from 26 cents for the
best used cases down to Is cents fol
those classified as No. grade in an
area that includes, Iowa, Minnesota
North and South Dakota.
