OF
SCRAP RUBBER
VERY CRITICAL
Garden Hose, Rubber Heels,
Rubber Toys, Auto Tires, And
Tire Swings To BE SaIvaged
REGULAR TRADE WAYS
BEST FOR SHIPMENT

The shortage of scrap rubber has
become very critical Authorities are
urging that any and all types of rub
Der be salvaged, including garden
hose, rubber heels, rubber toys, auto
tires used as bumpers on boats or a
round wharves, children's swings
made from tires, and shoes and boots
made Of rubber Your dealers can
get full information from disposal of
these articles from Leon Epstein, p
West Cross Street. Baltimore, Farm
ers should be discouraged from burn
ing worn tires, tubes, etc, III their or
chards for smudge. Every ounce Of
rubber is important.

per ana magazines in the Salvage
for Victory" effort.
From quite few sources, it has
been learned of some misconception
by the public of the part that chart
ties and waste material dealers play
in salvage efforts. The public in
many cases desire to give their sal
vaged materials direct to the Govern
ment. The Government is not set up
to perform the function Of the waste
and scrap dealers. 1t is their job to
separate, grade, pack, and ship the
materials to the consuming mills in
a form that the mills can use. There
are, for instance, over Is grades of
scrap iron, over 700 grades of rags,
and many grades of rubber and paper.
Even if the salvage materials were
given to the Government, they would
have to be sold to a waste dealer for
the proper preparation before being
sent to the consuming mills. The char
tiles collect their material, grade it
to a certain extent, sell it to a waste
dealer, and use the moneys they de-
rive from these sales for their partic-
ular purposes. After thorough study
and from experience, gained through
the aluminium campaign, it was found

GOVERNOR GIVES
ADVICE AS TO
WINTERS COAL
Home Owners, Business Con-
Germs, And Institutions Should
Buy Coal For Winter
SITUATION REPORTED AS
BEING VERY CRITICAL

Home owners and business con-
Germs and institutions using bitumi-
nous coal were urged today by Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor to take care
of their next winters needs immedi-
ately, if possible, to assure adequate
supplies. Not only should the coal be
ordered, the Governor pointed out,
but as far as practical, it should be
received and stored so as to lessen the
great demands upon the railroads in
the summer and early fall.
Quoting advices from the office of
the Bituminous Coal Consumers
Counsel in Washington to the effect
that the bituminous coal situation is
rapidly becoming critical, Governor
O'Conor made known that the de-
mands of war industry and public u
tilities will be far in excess of such
needs during the year just past.
This increased need will begin to
make itself felt in late August and
the early fall, he said, and unless
home owners and other users of BIZ
luminous Coal take steps now to lay
in adequate supplies, it is practically
certain that there will not be enough
locomotives and equipment to move
coal in quantities sufficient to meet
all the demands.
AS a further precaution against
the possibility of "heatless days." the
Governor furthermore laid emphasis
on using coal stocks sparingly. He al
ready has ordered survey of the
coal situation in all State-owned in
stitutions, agencies, and buildings.
"Stories from various parts of Eu-
rope during the months just past"
declared Governor O'Conor, "have
emphasized the miseries which have
been added to the woes of the con-
quered peoples by their inability to
secure this much-needed commodity.
1t would be tragic if any number of
our people brought such misfortune
upon themselves by neglecting to take
proper measures early enough, par
ticularly as there are ample supplies
of coal available if orders are placed
in time"

s Countries Surpass
Record u. ). Low
IN Infant Deaths
1e40 Figures Of AZ
!; Per 1000 Compared;
D. c. Rate Is Average

Only six countries have a lower
infant death than the rate achieved
in 1910 by the United States-47 for
each 1000 live births-the Census
Bureau reported today.
Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands,
Australia, New Zealand and SWitz-
erland are the six countries with a
better record than the United
States, with rates ranging from 81
to as deaths for each 1000 births.
The District in 1910 had a rate of
a., the same as the national average
The rates for Maryland and Vir-
ginia were 49.6 and 1913, respectively
Oregon and Minnesota Low.
Among the States. Oregon and
Minnesota reported the lowest rate
-33,2-and New Mexico the highest
-l006.
The battle of the Axis nations for
population supremacy through the
use of state subsidies and other
means to increase the birth rate has
not been successful in Japan and
Italy, the Census Bureau said,
though Germany has boosted its
birth rate from 147 per 1000 popu-
lation in 1888 to 204 in 1910.
In 1910 Germany had an infant
death rate of 40 per 1000 births,
Italy a rate of 104, and Japan,
during the period 1936-1939 rate of
l12, according to the bureau.
Rate Is Lowest for U. S.
"This has important implications
from the standpoint of the popula-
ton program for the Axis nations,
since the effectiveness of the official
policies adopted by Germany, Japan
and Italy for increasing the popula
ton requires the reduction of NOR
tality among infants. or at least the
maintenance of a constant rate con-
current with an increase in the birth
rate"
The 1910 infant death is the
United States-47 per 1000 births
was the lowest ever recorded in this
country.
Deaths of infants under l year of
age in 1910 totaled 110984.
"If the infant death rate for 1910
had prevailed throughout the history
of the United States birth registra-
ton area, 973,626 Of the 3,264,36 in
fants who died during the past Is
years in this area would have sur
vived through one of the most
critical periods of life" the Census
Bureau said.
