Mike is strictly a Broadway
fellow. He hangs out with the
songwriters and actors and
bandleaders and sporting men in
Lindy's. He talks their language.
He has great warmth and he
loves human companionship. He
is reminiscent in this respect of
the late Sam Harris, great pro-

the most beloved men Broadway

methods that have been in use
by orthopedic surgeons for many
years.
These consist in bracing, mus

These methods must still be
used in some cases and are still

Grade Labelling Order

The Once of Price Administra-

has rescinded its requirements for
grade labelling of rayon hosiery. but
left the way open for makers of top
quality hose to grade 1t themselves
If they wish.
The regulation which required
manufacturers to label their hosiery
"A" or "B" according to its quality
was stricken under terms OF an
amendment by Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio to the Emergency
Price Control Act.
Yesterdays order provides that
rayon hosiery ceiling prices will be
determined by War Production
Board specifications for manufac-
turers. Hosiery that meets WPB
specifications will be priced as
grade A." Hosiery below that
standard will be priced at grade
B" level, about 10 per cent lower.
1rregulars. seconds and thirds must
be so marked.
When the Taft amendment was
before Congress Price Administrator
Brown strongly urged continued
grade labelling. He argued price
controls were meaningless without
quality standards. Opponents con-
tended that grade labelling would
destroy high standards built up
under brand names.
The new order did not change
rayon hosiery prices.
OPA pointed out that the manu-
featuring standards were those of
the WPB and not its own.

Waste paper collections in the
