Stamp Society
To Aid Soldiers

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Sept.
l19 INS).-The National Society
of Junior Collectors. a nonprofit
organization of philatelists with
headquarters here. has completed
plans to help soldiers and sailors
continue their collecting while
away at war.
Amos Johnson, one of the
founders of the society, recently
pointed out the remarkable oppor-
itHnities for obtaining rare stamps
and covers that are offered to
troops Selling new territories such
as the Solomon Islands.
He stated the islands until some
time after December z were Brit
ish and used British postage. Cap
ture by the Japs may have caused
the Japs to use the British stamps
temporarily by adding some smear
or mutilation of their own. or
course, the stamp setup changed
again when the marines took
possession.
First covers OF United States
mail sent from the Solomons
after American occupation also
have high interest and value, he
said
SOCIETY WILL AID
The society has arranged to OBJ
tain first day covers of United
States stamps at cost to be mailed
direct TO collectors homes or TO
the societys post office box 100 at
Chattanooga, to be held until the
soldier or sailor returns and re-
gains a permanent address. Only
remittance asked,is face value Of
stamps or covers plus any neces-
sary postage or express charges.
Readers who have \ collector
friends in the service are urged to
mail clipping OF this article 20
them. in the certain knowledge
they will appreciate knowing q
such an opportunity to continue
their hobby.

At Sept. q Obening

In an effort to boost the bond sales
during the month of September,
Carter r. Barron, Eastern division
manager for Loew's theaters, today
announced that the forthcoming

Mrs. Hadley" will be free to those
persons who buy an extra War bond

replaced by refugee opera singer.
This thrush of the pots and pans
is given to breaking out into bursts
of Wagnerian' song, mingling her
arias between the Intel soup and
pot roast.
In this atmosphere of domestic
goofiness George Roberts Is work
ing on some important plans for
General Electric and Mr.. Donald
Nelson's War Production Board. His
work and the AWCS' energies get
intertwined and more involved when
two soldiers on furlough come to
spend the week end as guests OF
the Emergency Godmothers, better
known as theEGS. When the ambi-
tious AWCS, move into J. Edgar
Hoover's jurisdiction and endeavor
to confine q spy, the fun is riotous.
If it all sounds like a domestic
setting in which Grandpa Wonder
hoff of "You Can't Take 1t With
You" would be quite at home, that
would be substantially correct. Yet
this mocks rather savagely at the
serious minded women who have
both direction and talent. Those
who are sensitive viii resent these
delightful eccentrics, but laughs pro-
vide high escape value, and as the
first attempt to find comedy in the
new war order the farce has its
moments as well as its buffoonery.
"Vickie" is we'll served by the
capable cast assembled by Producer
Frank Mandel. Uta Hagen is an
attractive Vickie, too intelligent
looking to be = balmy nitwit, and
give the best expression to the high
elements of exaggeration. One
wishes that such an experienced
farceur as Taylor Holmes might
have more to do in field in which
he is singularly expert. Another
who kept the fun ball in motion was
Collette Lyons, whose gifts for COM
edy are substantial, and who made
them count gloriously. The portly
Mime. Margaret Matzenauer plunges
with some enthusiasm into high
ly ludicrous role, expands high

Ferrer, playing straight In this flip
cartoon nonsense, struggles man.
fully to maintain normalcy In q
slightly mad household. Charles
Halton, Mildred Dunnock, Edward
Glover, Red Buttons, Frank Conlan
and Sara Seegar are others whose
contributions are worthy.
The single setting Of Ernest Glover
is appropriately designed for the
action, and it must be confessed
that the AWCS's In their natty
uniforms could bend most easy going
men to their will.

LOSES CAR WHILE
TRYING TO CROSS
LOW-WATER BRIDGE

Henry Ramey, better known as
Bill Pudd" of Clinchco, lost his
car and came near losing his life
in the high waters of Mcclure
River Thursday.
According to report, Rdney
started to drive across a low
water bridge near No. 9 mine aat
Clinchco. The bridge was cover
ed with muddy water, making
the depth hard to judge. The car
was swept from the bridge in the
first few feet it progressed, and
Ramey hastily abandoned it and
made his way back to shore. a
Wrecker was called but up to
this time the car has not been
located.
Due to the heavy rains in the
county this week, Mcclure had
a rise of nine feet of water, and
that was what Ramey attempted
to ford.

PLANS MADE FOR
NATIONWIDE GAS
RATIONINCs

Without doubt you will have
to get along on two gallons of
gasoline per week after July 1st,
unless you are in congress or en-
JOY special privileges Of some
other sort.
Nationwide gasoline rationing
by July l to slow down automo-
bile wheels, estimated to be wear
ing out the supply of rubber at
the rate of 100000 pounds a day,
has been announced as a dis
tinct possibility. No such order
has as yet been issued but plans
FOR such step are being worked
out.
No gasoline shortage exists in
this country, it is said, but it IS
considered necessary because ali
ships are needed to supply our
allies and armed forces abroad
and to furnish essential indus
tries in the eastern states. Like
wise the railroads are loaded
down with raw materials for
factories engaged in war work
and this work would be slowed
down if other freight, such as
gas, were hauled.

will see that the order is enforc-
ed.
The housewife need not ex-
pect a drastic reduction in the
cost of living. Prices are cut back
only to March, 1912 levels At
that time the cost of living was
about LIS per cent below its pres
ent Level The greatest benefit to
the consumer will be in Warding
off future price increases brought
on by rising demands and de-
clining supplies.
In general, the ceiling is the
highest price at which each store
sold an article during March. The
maximum price will vary from
store to store just as prices var
led from store to store during
March.
The housewife can find our
what the average prices are by
consulting list of about 100 o.
the most important items in the
family's cost of living, required
to be posted in plain sight in
each store.
After July l, the retailer must
have a prepared statement of this
highest prices not only for the
100 articles but for all commo-
dities or services which he de-
livered or supplied during March.
This may be examined by any,
one no request.
In addition, the housewife will
be expected to keep a price list
of her own purchases so she can
compare them with future prices
asked by the storekeeper. Every
