THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY o
Delaware has been in session since
January 5th, with a dearth of bust
ness confronting it. Both the ma
jority members and the minority
members are vOicing their disap-
pointment that the general public
has not taken its desires for legis-
latiOn to them. The time for the
deadline for introducing new bus
mess is rapidly approaching. I'm
less persons interested in submit
ting proposals for consideration
by the members of the General
Assembly get busy. there is bound
to be disappointment on their part
when they move to submit pro-
posed legislation. 1t takes time to
draw all bills ard put them into
legal form. When the rush comes
the legislative attorneys and the
stenographers will be over worked.
and due consideration in the pre-
pairing of the bills cannot he given.
Now is the time for those who de-
sire changes in any existing stat
utes. or those desiring new legisla
tiOn, to see their Representative or
Senator so that proper measures
may be taken to assure careful
consideration of the proposed
measures. This warning should be
needed at once. Delay cannot he
honestly blamed on the members
of the General Assembly.
INDUSTRIAL "kNOW.HOW"
A great deal has been said about
the secret weapon Of American in
dustry described as "know-hOw."
We know that industry has it be-
cause in Il years time we have seen
the whole industrial picture change
from peacetime to wartime opera
tion. But. exactly what is this
"know-how"? How does it work?
Who has it? How is it used?
A recent advertisement of one of
our war plants has furnished a
specific answer. "KnOw-hOw" starts
at the head of business and runs
all the way down the line. into the
shop, and out onto the boat. 1t
affects everything from the de-
sign of equipment to the purchase I
of materials and delivery to the
point of use. Here is what know

plant and on one product-a ma
chine gun.
Through "knOw-how" many new
processes. new tools. and design
changes have made possible double

Manufacturing capa-
city and manpOwer were released
for additional war tasks.
Production shortcuts, material
savings. and expanding output have
reduced the original cost by half,
with consequent important savings
in the nations expenditures for
war material.
Design changes for quantity
production have likewise raised
quality. Many of the more than 300
changes have helped to make pos

"Know-hOw." one of our secret
weapons, and industry's stock-in- ,
rade, is definitely helping to win
he war more quickly and at less
,ost in lives. money. and time.
If American industry had not de-

with the finest fighting tools the
