that the cancellation had no bear

designed to preserve automobile

shortage of gasoline in middle

the nation.

LONG STORY UNLIKELY
American informants indicated
that the visit of the United States
military mission would be brief,
and were inclined 10 discount the
possibility that Arnold, Towers
and their associates might plan
with British leaders an immediate
second front against the Germans.
Further, though there were in
Icreasing signs that the situation
on the Kharkov front was diff
cult, military quarters said there
twas no sign of Russian reverses
which might make it imperative
for the Allies to act at once, even
If they were not fully prepared
But Russia was reported press
ing the Allies TO start any sort
lof diversion, even if on a small
scale, which would relieve German
pressure against her.
KHARKov IN DOUBT
A British military spokesman
said the Russian position on the
Kharkov front was serious, with
the Germans steadily increasing
the power of their attack in the
Izyum- Barvenkova sector, but that
there was still not enough evil
dence to tell which way the battle
was going.
A few hours after the arrival
1 OF the American mission was an
nounced, Admiral Sir Andrew
Browne Cunningham, withdrawn
from command of the British
Mediterranean fleet TO undertake
a special mission to Washington,
said that the Allies would surely
overwhelm Italy in the Mediter-
ranean as soon as they had
equality of forces,
He implied that the time might
be in sight TO open second front
!. against Italy.

Behind the Scenes
In American Business
BY John Croddock

LULL?
1t may be just a lull before
the storm, but the price picture
for the last couple of months
has been definitely serene, con-
sidered as a whole but with &C
cent on those prices that most
markedly affect cost of living.
In the 10 weeks May 2-July IL
period wholesale prices for some
900 items as covered by the Blu
reau of Labor Statistics actual
ly went down, though by a
mere tWo-tenths of one per
cent. Food prices dropped IL
and textiles 0.4 per cent, and
these are especially influential
in coSt-of-living ratings -.
The comprehensive cost-of-liv-
ing index rose one per cent in
April, went up only tWo-tenths
of a percentage point in May,
and in June remained absolute
ly level! -. Nevertheless, the
economic pulse-takers are some
what uneasy, viewing with anx-
iety the persistently upward
tendence of wages and the lack
of assurance that farm prices
will be effectively "ceilinged,"
since these are the two biggest
elements in determining the ul-
innate cost of anything to the
consumer.

is first to be lined up on this

it will be applied -. Thus

TRANSIT TREND

Americans started relying O.
street cars and buses in a pr
ty big way even before gas :
t4oning and the "pick-up-the-
rubber" drive, but mere extern
sion of this trend can't answer
the nations problem of main
tanning necessary transporta-
ton, says John L. Collyer, pres
ident of the B. F. Goodrich
company. In announcing re-
suits of a survey made by his
company, which showed that "a
representative cities had seen
an average increase of % per
cent in transit fares for the
first six months of 1912 over
that period of 1871, he empha-
sized that the major part of the
answer to the threatened trans
portation crisis must be the
stretching of miles in tires now
in service" to keep private au-
tomobiles rolling. He cited the
fact that the total seating ca
pacity of all the naion'S buses,
rail coaches, and surface, rapid
transit and electrified suburban
cars is only 100000 - to show
how overwhelming would be the
burden on common carriers IT

SAVINGS

Whether they're saving tooth
paste tubes or tires, Americans
today are learning to conserve
everything marked critical" in
the way of materials. Home and
factory share this effort, tor
engineers in vital war plants are
teaching old materials to do new
production tricks. An example
of this came out recently when
Carl J. Kiefer, production wee
president for Schenley distiI-
lers, told how his company had
cut down the use of copper, tin
and steel in converting a plant
from beverage distilling to pro-
duction of alcohol for munitions.
Kiefer said a type of clay brick
had been used instead of con-
ventional metal parts in equip
ment for producing high-proof
alcohol and, far from lowering
efficiency. the switch Melted ad-
dit:onal savings in time and
money.
