Distraught jewellers in congested
districts where new hordes have
pushed rents skyward may still be
able to get rent control. The Office
of Price Administrator sets up
rent control in about 10 new areas
each month, but the rate is ex-
pected to decrease.
The OPA decides on the basis Of
letters of complaint which come in
to Congressman, the President, Mrs.
Roosevelt, the Secretary Of War,
and Whom it May Concern. When
the number and desperation of the
letters indicates need for adjust
ment, the Bureau of Labor Statistics
makes a survey Of the number of
vacancies and rent levels. If these
indicate urgent need for control,
the OPA takes over if local groups
don't make prompt adjustment.

Physicians in that district had dis
covered that tin was their protec-

A useful little trick you will learn

Millions of the lids are now in pro-
duction and will shortly be avail
able in neighborhood stores and
from coffee rOaSters.
The thrifty lid is war develop
ment of the research laboratories
of one of the nations largest glass
manufacturer and was originally
developed to fit the 63-mm. opening
of glass coffee containers. 1t may
be used on any commercial glass
container having the same size
opening, with the aid Of the origi-
nal metal screw cap that comes
with the jar.
Since metal screw caps for
glassed coffee are gradually being
replaced with paper caps. house,
wives are advised TO save metal
caps along With coffee containers
and other jars She is holding for
household use.
HOW THE NEW LID WORKS
The thrifty lid itself is a thin,
composition lined metal disc which
may be purchased singly or in
dozen quantities. II is used in COM
bination with the metal screw cap
that comes on the jar originally.
The first step is to Scrape all of the
composition lining out of the inside
of the original metal screw cap, or
to completely remove the paper
lining. as the case may be. 1t Is
very important TO remove all lining
completely from the screw cap, so
that it will fit tightly over the
thrifty lid. Complete removal of all
lining from the screw cap also pre-
vents the possibility Of it's adhering
to the top of the lid during proc
essing.
From then on regular preserving
methods are followed For instance.
in the cold pack method, the jars
are filled with the food to be proc
essed the thrifty lid Is placed on
the neck Of the lar and the original
cap Is screwed over 1t to hold 1t in
place. After processing, when the
Jars have cooled, the screw cap may
be removed and used over again.
The thrifty lid is held in place by
vacuum and, of course, may be
used only once.
