WANT TO HOARD GASOLINE?
HERE'S SAFE RULE T0F0LL0W

The National Safety Council today
suggested a safe rule for boarding
gasoline-DONT DO IT!
Hoarding of gasoline not only is
unpatriotic, but extremely dangerous,
said the Council. The motorist who
tries to beat rationing by laying in a
supply of gas literally is storing up
danger and trouble for himself.
The storing and handling of gasoline
by the average person would be just
as safe as keeping supply of TNI
in his home.
No matter how careful the average
person may be in storing gasoline
there is a definite danger that its
yapor will escape. This vapor is highly
explosive, and a chance spark or flame
may set of an explosion that can
wreck a house and cause death OF
injury.
Furthermore, no matter where you
live, the chances are that your fire
insurance is automatically void if you
have more than very small quantity

Defense Group Asks City
to Secure Air Raid Sirens

The local civilian defense council
has asked the city council to purchase
four air raid sirens for use here.
The attempt to use the city fire
siren and sirens of mining companies
has proved unsatisfactory, communi-
ing pointed out, because they were
not distinguishable from the fire
signal
The matter was turned over to the
sales and purchasing committee with
power to act, with Paul Bucowich, Jr.,
superintendent of the water and light
department, recommending the type
to be used.
Buccowich said that four directional
sirens, each costing about $35, to be
used along with the fire siren, would
change the tone SO that there could
be no possible confusion as to the
meaning of the signal This arrange
ment has proven satisfactory in other
cities, he said.
The council will meet Friday at
1880 p. m. to discuss the tax levy
to be assessed next year.
Held over for the next regular meet
ing was discussion of an undiscloseo
nature of the one-meter electric

Girl Industrial Worker
What about the girl industrial
worker? She is in the midst Of
whirling belts and machinery. She
is in an environment that is not
natural for any human being and
even less natural for a woman
than for a man. She must make
a change in the style Of her clothes,
bind up her hair, wear Stacks.
There is nothing innately un-
healthful about the clothes situa-
tion, but l believe they should be
styled and standardized for wom-
en- workers in each industry. There
is no question, however, that a
woman's physique and psychology
and the periodicity of her life
make her less able to stand con-
tinued strain in industry than a
man, and | believe women should
have more frequent vacations and
more time off than men workers.
The same thing applies to the
women who are doing war volun-
teer work as Red Cross nurse
aides, in the Salvation Army, Ci-
william Defense and in canteen
work. They certainly should not
let their enthusiasm run awaT

First Reaction

His initial declaration didn't ex-
cite the protecionists in the least.
They figured that Wendell was try
ing 70 revive discussion OF ques-
ton as old and forgotten as the
extent Of Noah's food damage, and
hadn't the slightest mixing that he
could stir up a modicum Of interest
in IT,
Instead Of that, darned If he
hasn't scored appreciably!
I wouldn't go so far as to say
that he's started an outright free
trade movement. Yet he's getting
his scheme into print and onto the
radio. The protectionists are all
over regarding it as pure frivol.
Wendells fashion Of expressing
himself doubtless is an important
consideration. Hes got an argu-
ment and the capacity for putting
enthusiasm into it. I imagine that
some Of its past proponents have
been rather prosy with their pres
entation. .Wendells pungent.
Then, again, this junctures ap-
propriate-
Is there ANY way by which we
can head of future wars? For
whatever 1t may be worth, Wendell
submits a plan.
The whole world would be de-
lighted to hook up with US on an
interchangeable trading basis. And
it might pay US as well as the rest
Of the family Of nations, II as
suredly would tickle Canada and
the Latin Americas, as well as the
OLD world. Maybe 1t would suit
the Axis aggregation likewise, but,
II it would ultimately help Us In
cidentally. what Of it?
Wendel's broad, mundane thesis
Is that what's desirable for the
average individual is collectively
considered, desirable for all iHd!-
Yiduals.
That Is 10 say
Suppose we've got tarii sys-
ten that enables some particular
industry to scoop in all possible
profits from the line It speclalizes
on. THAT industry'n make bar
rels OF money out Of its monopoly,
but it'u make it at the expense Of
others.

Maybe the othersll be foreign.
But, in the LONG RUN, wen
get the reaction.
WendeLs dope extends, TO tell
the truth, on into infnity.
The beauty Of it is that the
Democratic party additionally was
pro-free trade and the Republican
party has been historically protec-
tionistic.
All right
Wendell, a free trade Democrat,
ran for president on a protection
istic Republican ticket. Now he

Mature Women

Many are women of mature
years who cannot stand continued
strain; the physical endurance
that is needed in their work and
the emotional assaults that are
made on them by the war situA-
ton tend to undermine their en-

scious of this process and keep on
working long after they should
have a good rest.
