SPEED WEARS RUBBER
TIRES FAST

Rubber is worn off tires seven
times faster if a car is driven 65
miles an hour than it is if the same
car is driven 25 miles an hour. But
you don't have to reduce speed to
25 miles to make an important saw
ing.
"Tires wear out twice as fast at
35 miles per hour as they do at 25
miles; three times as fast at IS
miles; five times as fast at 55 miles
and seven times as fast at SIS
miles," said r. P. Erwin, Division
Manager of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Ohio.
The motorist who wants to get
the most out Of his tires" said Mr..
Erwin, sis going to let his speed
ometer govern his driving more
than he has done in the past"
Reasonable driving speeds,
frequent checks on air pressure,
and, most of all, careful driving
will stretch this mileage over
substantial period of time"

 MT. Brown is primarily concerned with fuel oil and gasoline for the East. He calls attention to the stringent ration ing program; he also cites recent plan to divert gasoline from the four states mentioned to New England; and fear that the four states mentioned won't per- init this diversion. Political retaliation next November is causing Washington to shy away from the idea, says Mr. Browns advertisement which appeared in Sunday newspapers throughout the four states.
 We'll it may not be question of sec tionalism, but We doubt if Illinois, Michi- gan, Indiana, and Ohio will do very much about diverting gasoline or fuel oil our way if it's going to mean anything like what they read is occurring in the East. The only sure way to handle the fuel situation without creating sec tional lines is to apply the restrictions generally to the entire forty-eight states We said this months ago; we still believe it is the answer to problem that will increase the longer there is no control over operation of motor vehicles.

About That Second Front

All the signs point to some dramatic development in this war. What it will be, or where, or upon whose initiative, only very few persons know-and per hapS they are not quite certain. It could be the collapse of the sturdy Rus sian defense Undoubtedly Hitler is pouring every possible ounce of his strength into an effort to break the Red army now. He may succeed. But in all probability he will not, although he is doing tremendous damage.
 More probably, the sensation will be the opening of a second front by either the Anglo-American alliance or the Japanese. Nobody should be too greatly surprised if the two came almost simul- taneously-the United Nations trying to distract Hitler from his Russian adVen- ture, while Japan, in Siberia, attempts to distract the Reds from Hitler.
 Over whatever the Japanese may do our control is limited. Moreover, President Roosevelt has promised that we shall wage war of offensive. Therefore it is up to us to decide, principally, where we are going to hit Hitler, and how.
 Laymen in a democracy are entitled to their opinions. But lay opinions in the matter of the second front strategy ere not worth the breath it takes to ex- pound them. Only the experts should determine, on the basis of secret infor- m;stion properly withheld from the pub lie, when we are ready to strike, and where, and how. Conceding that prob ably we shall open second front soon, there is one point on which the public should keep very clear.
 If our second front is in the air-if it is day-by-day series of devastating raids upon the Reich's industTial centers and transportation arteries-then in launching it we shall not have burned all our bridges behind us We can wage such warfare assured that even if it should prove less conclusive than we hope, we shall have done more damage to Germany than ourselves.
 A second land front can not be opened in Europe, however pressing Russla's emergency, unless we are prepared to gamble our national existence upon that one throw of the dice. The losses we must suffer, landing an army in Europe and attempting to supply it, will be so un- bearable that they could not be re- peated
 If such an attempt is made and it fails, we shall have lost the war for keeps, right there. The decision is too vital to be made on the basis of emotion. If Franklin Roosevelt were so weak that he could be egged into rashness by pre- printed postcards, Red Front sponsored, they should be withheld. Fortunately, he is not

A National War

Ours probably is as nearly perfect a selective service system as has been de- vised. Its administration has been re- markably intelligent and free from Seri- ous errors. Having paid these deserved tributes, one may feel free to suggest a criticism. The drafting of men into the Army is done by districts By reason of differences in types of population ,one dis trict may exhaust it's quota of eligibles, in any classification, and pass on to the next while there still are tens of thous- ands, in other districts, not yet called. This is a national war, not one of com- munities Why not select for Army serv- ice on that basis?

Seldon does year pass without some thing being said or done about auto mobile insurance. We are speaking of Connecticut now, the home of insurance. Time was when Waterbury occupied one of those areas in which liability rates for the average motorist were high enough to discourage almost anyone from taking out policy Accident claim pay ments were reported responsible for the high rates. Revisions followed with the Legislature even getting requests to do something about it. Ultimately motor ists arrived at the point where they learn ed that it paid them to be good driv- CTS, operating throughout their policy year without an accident being more than it's own reward. Now with many cars being operated only fraction of the distances they were formerly driven a new plan for scaling down the insur- ance rates is under study, particularly in Massachusetts. The new rates in the Bay State, due to be announced next month, are said to be surprisingly low for holders of the basic "A" cards.

 Q. Why is scrap steel necessary at the present time for the manufac- ture of new steel?
 A. The principal reasons for using scrap steel are economy of time, money, transportation and m 8 n- power. Scrap steel suffers hardly at all from reworking, and tc as good as new steel when melted and cool ed into another product. Pig iron costs more per ton than scrap, and 1t takes longer to convert pig iron into steel because of the excess amounts of carbon and the impuri- ties that must be reduced or burned out completely in making new steel. This reduction" has already been made in the case of scrap.

 The President, busy with other things, had remained in the White House. But after the address, Mrs. Roosevelt led the way to a White House limousine at the Senate entrance to the Capitol. Suddenly she stopped, noticed someone in the back seat.

 Apparently the President had planned at first to drive alone in his own car to the Washington Navy Yard, where he was to pre- sent a new submarine chaser to Queen Wihhelmina' exiled gov ernment. But changing his mind at the last minute, he decided to drive to the Capitol, pick up his wife and the Queen, and drive with them to the Navy Yard to- gether.

Mile of Keys

Since it was made plain to Great Britain that the United States would no longer be able to help it out with scrap metal that nation has been virtually turning the countryside upside down to unearth anything and everything that can be converted to some useful pur- pose in war manufacturing. In one town of England a group of boys col lected enough keys so that placed end to end they stretched for mile. AS an added bit of useful decoration there was also mile of old hot water bottles, also scheduled for reclamation.
 War relics going back to some of Britain's earliest battles, also it's histori- cally famous ones, are one by one being paraded off to be converted into useful steel and iron. Graveyard railings, so numerous in England, are now never seen. Every building that has been blasted by Nazi airmen has been combed thoroughly for it's metal remnants. The demand is 10000 tons of scrap weekly and the demand so far has been met.
 It's obvious, though, that the end IS in sight for of recent weeks the govern ment has concentrated on urging house holders to go through their homes so that nothing will be overlooked. A cherished heirloom or Wornout plough share share the same fate and are donated as willingly by their respective owners. After this hunt is over the gov ernment might turn it's hand towards snaring few German vessels out in the Channel. They could yield plenty of scrap.
