NO MORE "TINFOH"
Cigarette Packages to Contain No
Lead Foil, Order WPB

Tobacco firms were forbidden by
the War Production Board Monday
to use lead foil on cigarette pack
ages on and after May 1, regard
less of whether they have supplies
on hand after that date. The man
ufacture of lead foil for cigarettes
already has been prohibited. The
additional action, said WPB, was
necessary so that all manufactur-
ers would cease the use of foil
simultaneously, despite the fact
that some producers have built up
considerable supplies. The amend
ment also placed on the prohibited
list the use of laed in costume jew
elry, novelties, buttons and troph-
les.

SPRAY NOTES RELEASED
Latest Spray Information Sent to
Farmers From Experiment Station

In an effort to provide fruit
growers with the latest information
in regard to the proper time to ap-
ply spray or dust to apple and
peach trees for control of insects
and plant diseases, and the most
effective materials to use through
out the season, the Agricultural
Extension Service of the University
of Delaware in cooperation with
the State Board of Agriculture is
again preparing orchard spray
notes which are distributed to fruit
growers through the county exten-
sion office. Information contained
in the spray notes is prepared by
DR.. K. ]. Kadow, plant pathologist,
of the Delaware Experiment Sta
tion, and is obtained by contacts
with orchard conditions supple
mented by experimental data rela-
tive to the proper stages of tree
growth, bud and leaf development
at which certain sprays should be
applied for most effective results in
insect and disease control.

GIRL SCOUTS
COOKIE SALE
Annual Sale by Smyrna Girl
Scouts to Start Today;
Campaign for Funds
PROCEEDS FOR ACTIVITY

The third annual cookie sale of
the Smyrna Girl Scouts is being
launched today. The forty girls
who compose the membership of
the troop will canvass the town
and surrounding territory for or
ders, to be delivered in about ten
days. The cookie sale is the cam
paign of the Scouts and the troop
committee to raise funds to carry
on the various activities of the
group. Since the troop has been
organized there has never been
solicitation for donations. Thus the
troop has gradually built up a
tradition that they pay their way;
they do not expect people to give
them things or buy anything at
price for which full value is not re-
ceived. This year the girls have
been able to secure box of assort-
ed cookies which they are selling
at thirty cents a box. Miss Mildred
Reynolds, troop committee chair
man, is so confident of success OF
the venture that she has already
ordered one thousand boxes of the
cookies.
Proceeds Used for Trip
Last year the troop went on
trip to Washington with the pro-
ceeds of the sale. while it is i'm
possible in the present crisis to
plan any such trip this year, it is
hoped by the troop committee that
some other activity may be plan
ned," said Mrs. Thomas Russell
troop leader. Mrs. George Boehm-
Ter, chairman of troop trips, is
studying the possibility of day
trip to some inland point of inter
est.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-(R
War fattened the national in
come to the record breaking to-
tai of 500, 200, 600, 900 In 194l,
or an average Of 1898 per per-
son. government economists esti-
mated today.
This was sic, zoo, 900, 900 more
than 1910 and even $4,000, 000,-
900 more than the fabulous year
of 1929.
In 1912, 1t is due to be more.
How much more depends upon
the extent of growing war ex-
penditures, and also upon how
much prices rise.
The experts figured that about
one-third of the increase in ma
tional income last year was dis
sipated In the higher cost Of
things. Taxes, savings cam
paigns, credit controls, price fix
ing and other devices are count
ed on to remedy this trend tow
ard soaring costs Of living.
Wages and salaries account
ed for the biggest part of the
national income. $4,000, 000,-
600, which was 8 per cent more
than in 1910. Farm income,
dividends. profits from unin-
corporated businesses and other
types of income also gained.
Manufacturing industries, aug
mented by a large number of
new defense factories and de-
tense orders for many old ones,
produced $26, 800, 100000 Of the
national income. In order, the
next biggest contributions were
made by the government, re-
tail and wholesale trade. serv-
ice establishments such as rest
aurants and theaters, agricul-
ture, finance, transportation, and
construction.
Military expenditures Of the
United States and British gov
ernments here represented about
SIS, 900, 100000 or Is per cent
of the total. President Roose-
welt has set the nation a goal
of spending an amount equiva-
lent to half the national income
for this purpose in the future.
In terms of jobs, the higher
national income meant that nom
agricultural workers increased
2,400, 900 in number and reach
ed a total of 100000. Retail
sales, one of the best indicators
of the general populace's in
come, rose II per cent to a total
of $50, 500, 100000
