EASY DOES TT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER


This spring some housewives are sort of leaning
The easy way and taking stand on houSecleahlug
whats the good of tearing up every room,
That from day to day get q brush OF the broom!
or scrubbng and vanishing, jobs so taxing
washing paint, oling well as waxing.
why lug Grapes and rugs to the back YARD
Implying every shelf - things so hard
IT'S lust q racket every single spring
To try to do the hardest thing
Your house gets a thorough doing one day week.
AS well as q daily dustof, so why seek
To fuss and put away and pack
And do pesky things that break your back.
This year why not plan it the easy way,
Just change to your summer curtains gay
A little window washing, shake out few rugs
Dad can hoist the awnings with just few tugs.
The floors aren't too bad, rustic up few tacks,
The linoeum just needs sudSing, no need OF way
Just few curtains to wash but that's easy,
Don't the laundry they back limp and cheesey
Really and truly that's practically ALL
Except brushing down here and there a wall
You can polish up the brass from time to time,
Hardware, of course, is bound to pick up CRIME.
So easy does 1t, housewives, this spring
We feel quite you won't do a single thingl

are exempt from price control.
Q. Why do retail ceilings go into
effect on different dates why
don't maximum prices take effect
at once?
A. BY coming under maximum
prices one week after wholesalers
and manufacturers, retail stores will
have a greater opportunity to buy
supplies at March wholesale prices
before returning to March retail
prices. Any deliveries to retailers
after May II, Of course, must be at
prices no higher than the suppliers
maximum price-even If the con-
tract calls for q higher price. In
the case of retail services, the eff
fective date Is delayed until July l..
This will give OPA time to set up
machinery for the administration
Of maximum prices in this field.
q. Is there any provision for
aiding a seller where special cir
cumstances impose grave hard
ships?
A. Yes. II q seller finds his maxi
mum prices are abnormally low
compared with prevailing maximum
prices for the same article or
services, he may provision OPA for
individual relief. The procedure for
making this petition will be set
forth In a regulation to be issued
shortly by the administrator. If a
sellers maximum prices for q COM
modify are in line with those Of
other retailers, but the retailers as
q group can make little or no profit
or may have to sell at loss, the
seller should Immediately write the
retail trade adm service division,
OPA, Washington, ID. O., and set
forth the facts.
q. How could such relief be pro-
vided?
A. Relief would take the form OF
q roll back" Of prices at the whoIe-
sale and manufacturing level by
OPA order.
Q. What are the provisions about
store licenses?
A. Every retail and wholesale
establishment automatically Is H.
censed to sell under the general
maximum price regulation at the
date the ceiling applies to 1t, and
every new store automatically re-
ceives q license.
Q. What Is the purpose Of the
license?
A. The license gives oPA q basis
for action against stores which re.
| fuse to conform to regulations.
Q. What action may be taken9
A, OPA may ask q court TO sus'
pend, for as long as ~ months
the license Of q store which, aftel
receipt Of q warning notices, VITO.
lates OPA's regulations. without
license the store can not operate.
q, Are there other penalties fol

Ar. Yes. Convictions FOR certain
violations may bring fine up y
5000 and imprisonment up to on
year, OF both.

Garner. Having grown old in the
Senate, Garner knew all the ropes
and he knew all the senators. He
was forever getting them into his
Office, and they came to him for
advice.
Gamers principal Office was In
the capitol. He even took his daily
maps there, and he pulled more
wires than an eight-armed Orien-
tai goddess running a marionnette
show. Sometimes he even pulled
his wires to work against White
House wishes.
Wallace works 1t differently.

@. Why was the general maxi
mum price regulation issued?
A. The regulation Is a war meas
ure issued to stop further increases
in the cost of living and in other
prices.
@. Why have prices been rising?
A. Fighting the war requires
huge expenditures for ornaments
and turns thousands of plants from
producing civilian goods to produc-
ing war goods. This results in in
creased wage payments but smaller
production of civilian goods. Thus
demand is rising while supply is de-
clining. The result Is higher prices.

retailers, wholesalers, manufacture
ers, and producers of raw materials.
The only important cost-of- Living

ers, producers and wholesalers
and services rendered to an In
dustrial consumer, the ceiling
applies on May II, 1912.
Q. Will the ceiling prices be the
same at every store for the same
article?
A. No. In general, the ceiling &
the highest price at which each
store sold an article during March

store to store Just as prices varied
from store to store during March.
Q. Can prices lower than the
ceiling be charged?

the seller wishes. But they cannot
go one cent above the ceiling. Re-
member that the purpose Of this
