.ers Are Precious

Auto owners who for years
worried over the depreciation Of
their cars are amazed TO find
that the old jallopy is actually
increasing in value as they drive.
With no cars built since early
1912 the pinch is on and late
models IN some case sell above
the original price.
Strangely enough 1911 cars
bring about as much as AS.
The reason for this paradox IS
that Ais are ration free.
Following is five city price
comparisons which illustrates
the rising prices:

NEW YORK July Canada
has begun the second half of 1913
with her economic activities at
the highest level in history. the
Bank Of Montreal stated in its
monthly summary of.business.
II is estimated that at least
50 per cent Of total national pro-
duction is now devoted TO war
purposes and that 20 per cent. of
- .-.,-.'. =
efor tnem.
This. proportion is not likely 10
diminish much until the war ends,
IL Is pointed out. but the effort 10
enlarge industrial capacity is be-
ing slackened and the govern
ment's program OF plant extension
now is less than half what ii was
a year ago.
The problem OF checking any
serious rise in prices and living
costs is taxing the ingenuity and
resources of the Wartime Prices
and Trade Board, the bulletin
said The board is continually
taking steps 10 hold down the
cost of living.
The minister of finarCe has esti-
mated that without price control,
Canadian consumers would have
paid out S350,000000 more last
year than was actually paid; and
has expressed the belief that an
additional saving of SS50,OOO0O0
may accrue to them this year if
prices remain stabilized.

Hero Returns,
Describes New
Pacific Weapon
By JOHN CREECY

PSst, TOTO 49, here's the dope
about one of Americas secret
weapons
First 1t. Arnold NJ. Patterson,
who wears the Distinguished Fly
ing Cross and the Silver Star for
gallantry in action over the Solo,
mon Islands. told today about this
weapon and how il had resulted
in a lot Of wear and tear on Jap

lie said he didn't think il would
do any harm 10 make the Informal
ton public, but we Will. Of course.
refrain from giving details of ITS
construction
Like many so-called secret
weapons the device isn't really
new. 1t has been in use in
America for many years. Occa-
sionally as a weapon but usually
for more peaceable purpose.
KNOWN As BEER BOTTLE
il is known as a beer bottle.
"Our boys discovered" ex-
planned 1t. Patterson. that,
when dropped from an airplane,
a beer bottle descends making
"A screaming noise almost like
that of bomb.
"We didn't have any bombs
To waste In those days, 30 we'd
hy over Jap base at night and
drop beer bottles. The Japs
would hear them come scream
ing down and would dash out
10 the shelter of their fOXholes.
After a while, they'd discover
that the bottles were non
explosive and they'd 90 back
into their barracks and pay no
attention TO
Then we'd drop our real
bombs"
1t. Patterson, &c, Of Hyde Park,
Mass. Is at present assigned 10
the army air forces procurement
department headquarters at 8505
W. Warren.
Between October, 1912. and
March, 1943. Patterson took part
in so operational fights over the
Solomons. He found the Jap
pilots a deceitful lot. although the
JapS would probably make the
same charge against the Ameri-
can pilots, having been notably
deceived by 1t. Patterson and his
partners on several occasions.
a favorite trick OF the JapS. he
recalls. was 10 start a dogfight
between two Of their own fighter
planes. Unwary American pilot,
would sometimes rush 20 the
scene. assuming that one OF the
planes in the dogfght was Ameri'
can. Then both Japs WoulC
attack the American.
