too soon for American citizens to
face the kind Of problems which
this country and the world are
meeting now, in the midst Of war,
and which they will meet at the
close Of the war;" Mrs. Lee, said in
making the announcement. Because
we Americans have a government
of the people, by the people, and
for the people, no solutions Of these
problems and no plans for recon-
struction will be. workable unless
they are backed by wide popular UNI

In Spite OF Rumors, Gasoline
RatiOning Seems Here to Stay
BY ANN FRANCE WILSON

NEA Service STAFF Correspondent
washington, Feb. 1-Gas ration
ing won't be relaxed in the Middle
West. even though Price Admins
traitor Prentiss Brown inadvertently
limited that 1t might be.
The gas-rationing question Is still
one of rubber conservation. And
the rubber situation Is getting worse
instead Of better. So when the
tank cars now used for fuel oil start
carrying gasoline again, you needn't
expect any great boost In your gaso-
line allotment.
High Cost Of Living
OPA Boss Browns statement that
the cost Of living has gone up 80
per cent doesn't refer to the over
all living cost, we're informed. The
larger figure applies to food cost,
but the total rise in living expense
for the average family is not above
81 per Cent.
In the first World War, price rises
didn't get out Of hand until later.
But by the time the Armistice was
signed, the cost Of living had dou-
bled.
Stocking Standards
WPB has been hearing reports
that rayon hose wear out in no
time at all, and they don't like
them. So, when OPA sets price
ceilings on this product, you may
expect some kind Of STANDARDIZED
ton ruling to accompany the order.
WPB points out the incontestable
fact that allowing manufacturer to
turn out goods that don't wear Is
no way to insure the best use OF
manpower, material and machinery.
Odds and Ends
Watch out for harmful anti-freeze
solutions when purchasing cold
weather projections for your car.
Though solutions containing inOr-
ganic salts and petroleum distillates
may no longer be made, there are
still some on the market. And ODT
reports that some anti-freeze mix
lures containing these ingredients
have damaged motors beyond re-
pair. WIPES salvage collectors
report that 100000 pairs of silk and
nylon hose have been collected for
ammunition. But there are a lot
more tucked away in bottom
drawers, and they're all needed. Z.

to the limit and live independent Of

foreign countries and not buy from
them?

Which reminds us of the time OF
years ago when Lieut.. Jack Bergin,
a great student Of human relations,
hurriedly registered the phony
names given by a set Of card play
ers arrested in a raid, rushed them
to the north side of the old cell
block at the Harrison avenue sta

SHORTAGE OF ICE

Deliveries Curtailed; Sew

Supplies Limited

Drug stores and other ice cream
retailers in the city expected to
have replenished supplies today as
their February quotas became due
and deliveries from manufacturer
began. The absence Of many flavors
and, In some instances, Of anything
but sherberts was noticeable
throughout the city last week.
In some cases where o purchaser
asked for more than one quart Of
Ice cream he was asked to take a
part Of the order in sherbert.
Flavors are restricted now with
the IL or Is available last year cut
down to 4 or 5.
While there has been little or no
attempt made locally to stop Gus
toners taking ice cream out for
home consumption, no more deliver
les from the manufacturer to homes
are being made. Elsewhere In the
state there have been no sales
across the counter except for store
consumption.
In several local drug stores yes
terday the supply and variety Of ice
creams was very limited. In some
only one flavor was available. It
was also announced that no more
deliveries would be made before
wednesday. From all indications ice
cream "addicts" will realize shortly
that their favorite delicacy has
"been indicted" for the duration.

Educators Plan to Test Adults
On knowledge of u. S. History

The committee was created after
two events had attracted consider
able attention among historians
the results of history test published
by the New York Times and a paper
DR.. Wesley authored before the Mis-
sissippi Valley Historical Association
meeting on the lack of report by
school people on history teaching
AS a result, the committee was
formed and got $9,000-$7 500 from
the Rockefeller Foundation - to
make a study of the results of his
tory teaching and weaknesses OF the
history classroom.
Tests Drawn Up.
The committee has drawn up tests
which will be given in about 60 diff
terent places this summer. BY next
October, it hopes to have ready a
200-page book detailing it's findings
a book which it hopes will do much
to assist the teaching of history.
Rather than a factual test, such
AS the Times published, the commit
tees test will stress understanding
significance and trends of historical
events. The test will be given to
groups of students. businessmen
labor unions, women's clubs and
others, seeking true cross section
of American education, with a study
being made of the age, occupation
schooling and sex of each group.
For his own part, DR.. Wesley
thinks history teaching has been too
concerned about names, dates and
100 many different persons. I'VE
ought to know more what history
means" he says.
