thoughtfully.

TODD'S attitude appeared the
same on Wednesday an6 again
on Thursday. The sports writers
went to Pete Bailey after prac-
tice.
Nothing to sa:'," said Pete.
They sought out Todd. himself.
He turned on Frank Garvey of
the Chronicle. Get the hell out
of here" he half-snarled.
Garvey lit a cigarette coolly
"Okay, Killer" he said.
Todd lunged, but Eddie caught
him and dragged him back, slam
ming him down onto the bench.
A frightened sophomore student

up nervously as he stacked he'll

Something's eating you, and I in

up some more future varsity ma

Todd stared down at a shoe.
Sorry, pal"
"That all you have to say?"
That's all, Ed. :"
Luttrell turned and walked
toward the shower room.

cold, raging demon. He blocked
like Steam-roller. When he hit
a ball-carrier he slammed him
down so he almost bounced.
Twice he hit Purdue runners so
hard the ball popped from their
arms and State recovered.
When he carried the ball he
fought for that last inch. blasting

WPB officials report that ra-
tioning might not have been
necessary had not householders
developed an urge to buy extra
supplies of coffee. Because of the
tin shortage, the vacuum packed
coffee cans became scarce and
many persons tried to lay in "a
large supply. This extra drain,
usually equal to a two Or three
months need, created situation
which demanded rationing.
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1942-11-02

There is little possibility that
the average family can make up
its coffee requirements by using
substitutes. Green tea, according
to Government officials, is vir-
tually unobtainable; black tea
consumption has been cut fifty
per cent and cocoa has been al
located on the basis of sixty per
cent of 1941 consumption.

COFFEE RATIONING
NO SUBSTITUTE

COFFEE RAT1ONlNG
NO SUBSTITUTE
The rationing of coffee to
civilians, which begins Novem-
Der %, illustrates our dependence
upon cargo ships and adequate
control of the seas if we are to
enjoy our accustomed way OF
life. fo1 g
Because of the demand for Ship
ping space, due to the emergency
of the war and the loss of many
ships through enemy action,
there are not enough ships to
bring coffee from Central and
South America countries in nor
NAL quantities. In other words,
when you do without your extra
cup of coffee, you demonstrate
the futility of isolation and pay
tribute to the depredations OF
enemy U-boatS.
Leon Henderson points out
that for the ten years before
1941, we consumed about thir-
teen pounds of coffee per capita
per year. In 1912, this jumped
to sixteen pounds and the rate,
thus far in 1912, has been around
12.5 pounds a year. The ration of
one pound in five weeks per per-
son over fifteen represents slight
ly more than ten pounds per
capita per year. =
