For Sol Hogan, being through
meant being through with lot of
things After studying art in this
country, he had spent years in
Paris at the Academy Julien, the
Beaux Arts, the Grand Chaumier,
working directly under the great
contemporary masters, Bourdelle
and Landowski. He had studied in
Italy and Spain. And then he had
come back to his own country to
work with American materials for
American people.
He designed and supervised the
building of what he calls "the big
gest night club job in the world, -
the Cataccmbs in Columbus, Ohio.

Point ratiOning, the purpose
of which is to guarantee every
one a fair share of scarce but
essential goods while at the
same time giving everyone
variety of items from which to
choose, will be introduced to
Americans early in 1943, when
War Rationing Book No. 2 is
distributed, the Office of Price
Administration announced this
week.
In outlining the basic facts on
point rationing, the OPA pointed
out that there are three chief diff
ferences between this form of ra-
ticning and the coupon rationing
now in effect for coffee and sugar.
Under straight coupon rationing
one single coupon entities the con-
sumer to buy specific amount CT
single commodity, such as one
sugar coupon for specified amount
of sugar But in point rationing,
one set of coupons covers whole
group OF commodities. For instance,
weeks meat ration coupon will
entitle the holder to choose freely
among beef, veal, pork, lamb or
mutton.
Different Values
The second difference is that the
coupons in point rationing are of
different denominations. Those to
be spent in one week, for example,
will include a one-point, two-point,
five-point and eight-point coupon.
The third important difference
provides that the various rationed
items in one group will have diff
ferent point values. For example,
tenderloin steak, being relatively
scarcer, might have a higher point
value and require larger number
Of coupons than hamburger, which
is available in greater quantities.

coupon worth eight points house
