WHEN CAR USE DROPS
(New Haven Register

(New Haven Register)
 The $5 annual car use tax which was imposed in the last federal tax bill amounted only to about g for the first payment which had to be made last February. The stamp for the full 12 months beginning with the new fiscal year, a little more than Q month from now, will cost the full amount. When the Con- gress imposed the levy, 1t expected the tax to produce approximately $I50,00O,O0O.
 If car use, or indeed ownership, is to be affected as some of. the current proposals suggest, the owners of the some SO0O0, ,O0o motor vehicles vii not be the only ones to fel the jolt. The Treasury will feel 1t, too. This is only one of many eases in which new regulatory plans must be weighed in the light of their con- sequences farther along the line, but 1t Is one of the easiest ones to visualize.

 e. What caused the sinking of the Jewish refugee ship Strurna, and how many lives were lost?

 Q. Was body armor for soldiers available in World War I?
 A. Tn World War I, the United States developed body arr1lor for soldiers engaged in trench warfare. It was an alloy-steel about 0036 inch thick, and was able to stop a jacketed, automatic pistol ball, .45 caliber, travelling ct the rate of 600 feet second. Modern body armor has been developed that is capable of resisting fire from an automatic revolver at 800 foot-seconds. The main reason why body armor is not much used Is that it greatly ham, pers the freedom of movement of the wearer.
 e. When is the marketing sea- son for cranberries?
 A. Traditionally the cranberry is associated with Thanksgiving. As an inevitable result, the pack ing and shipping season rises to a peak in early November. A second peak, caused by the Christmas and New Year demand, occurs early in December. Early in September there are heavy shipments of the Early Black variety, especially from Massachusetts, to supply the fall demand. In a normal year all ber- ries are sold by February or early March.

e. What is the difference be- tween retreading and recapping . tire?
 A. When a tire is retreated, the old tread, breaker strip," and 'cushion" are removed entirely, leaving the cord carcass exposed. A new cushion and breaker strip are ceEnented on, followed by rub- bed strip (called caInelback) that is cemented and rolled into place. The width of the comeback is such that it covers the tread, and its thin edges extend down along the sidewalks to join up with the old sidewalks. The tire is then placed in mold and subjected to pres- sure and heat for several hours. Recapping is used for tires that are worn smooth, but on which the cords are not exposed. The tire is placed on 6 machine which buffg the original tread to remove uneven wear. Then vulcanizing cement and camelback are applied. From then on the procedure is essentially the same as for retreadine.
