Stocking Drive Stocks Fighters
With 'Parachutes, Powder Baqs

NEW YORK, Sept. II. - Okay,
gals-you can relax and take a
bow. The end OF the stocking COL
lection campaign is announced for
September 30, with hurrahs for
the women of America. They have
contributed 2,3oo,3o7 pounds Of
stockings in 10 months. The cam
paign began Nov. is, 1912.
The textile division Of the War
Production Board has called off
the collection campaign because
silk and nylon stockings are al
most rare enough to be items for
museum.
The collection drive has brought
in 93,00O,00 stockings. At a yard
per stocking, you could stretch
them more than twice around the
world if you had no better use
for them.

First they put them in huge va!s

ones came out one color and the
nylon another, so it was easy to
send them on their separate ways
The silk stockings were sold to
make powder bags. They were
broken down into fibers, made into
yarn, and rewoven into powder
bags. Silk is particularly precious
for this purpose because it is the
only cloth which disappears from
the gun-barrel with no residue.

LIMITED EDITION

There probably won't be an
edition of ration tickets for solid
fuels or textiles, if and when these
come under control. It is expect
ed that other agencies will take
over this part of the Office of
Price Administrators domain and
set up quotas similar to the new
milk program.
Carrots, carrots everywhere
there are $4,000 cases of topped
carrots waiting to be consumed.
Fifty thousand cases is 735 tons,
or 40 carloads, or enough for al
most everyone to fill out a meal
or two. This bountiful supply has
resulted from a push by the De-
partment of Agriculture to E e
growers to produce this easily
grown crop. You can buy them
IN larger quantity than usual and
store them at home easily. There
IS no space allocated for their
storage, and they may go to waste
unless they are moved out of tho
markets quickly.
