Butter Will Cost
1b Points Pound,
0PA Tells Public
Increase in Ration
alue Said Due to
Drop in Production
WASHINGTON, Sept. %.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
(UP)-The Office of Price
Administration announced
today that effective next
Sunday butter will cost 16
ration points per pound-thetotal
allotment of red ration stamps for
one person for one week.
The increase of four points from
the present value of IL points per
pound brings the ration coupon cost
of butter up to twice the level it
was when rationing started The
increase is due to drop of 10 per
cent in September production below
the production for the same month
in 1912, OPA said
Margarine remains unchanged at
four points
OTHER CHANGES
The OPA also announced that eff
fective next Sunday:
Point values of canned green or
wax beans and canned corn Except
on the cob will be lowered two to
four points, while so-called luxury
-
canned goods - apricots, cherries,
figs, grapefruit and plums-will go
Up from eight to II points for the
popular sizes.
Eight standard pork cuts will be
increased one to two points per
pound.
Cheese will be raised one point
per pound.
Eighteen variety meat items, such
as brains and kidneys, will be re-
moved from rationing.
Dried peas and lentils will be re-
moved from rationing.
TO DOWN CONSUMPTION
The increase in the ration cost
OF butter to Is points, is obviously
an attempt to cut down consump-
ton, since the rationing program is
designed to encourage use of
plentiful commodities by low point

He could hardly wait to go to
school, He talked about it for days

Came the first day of school.
Mrs. Heald secured Phil and his
seven- -year-old brother, Allen, until
khey Sparkled with cleanliness. She
bathed them, had them don clean
clothing She polished their shoes
and combed their hair. They left

talking. They ran down like a
couple of worn out clocks.

Phil began to howl at the top of

Heald was firm. She took Phil to
school and enrolled him.
About IL a. m. that day, friend
saw Phil walking blissfully along

"Why Phil" the friend said,
"what are you doing here? Shouldn't
you be in school?"
"Oh," Phil said, Il just escaped y
The friend told Mrs. Heald that

Half of Hanover
In Ruins as Raj
Bombs City Again
Thousands of Explosives
Shower on Industrial
Center in Nazi Germany

LONDON, Sept. %. (UP)
"A powerful Raj bombing
fleet blasted the big German
industrial center of Han
over last night for the sec
ond time in less than week, and
preliminar; reports indicated that
more than 60 per cent of the city
now lies in ruins from the cumula-
tive effect of the British aerial at
tackS.
Returning to the attack in what
an air ministry communique de-
scribes in very great strength" af-
ter a four-night lull apparently en-
forced by bad weather, the RAF
night raiders dropped thousands of
explosives and fire bombs on the
battered city, possibly equalling the
1000 tons blockbuster assault on
the same target on Sept. %.
1t was the 48th raid of the war
on Hanover and observers believed
the city had been added to the
growing list of Nazi industrial CEN
ters in which less than two-fifths
of the target areas still are func-
tioning.
HIT OTHER CITIES
A smaller Raj force struck 35
miles southeast of the city to bomb
and burn industrial sections of
Brunswick, while a third group
attacked Emden, guided By fires
set yesterday when American Fort
resses pounded that German naval
base with 1000 tons of bombs in
their greatest raid of the war.
The night attacks cost the Brit
ish 38 bombers and one of strong
force of fighters that ranged over
a wide area of Holland and north
west Germany. Seven enemy planes
were doWned by the night fighters,
making total of 1876 enemy aircraft
destroyed by the British fighter
command so far in September-the
biggest months total since July,
l941, when the Luftwaffe lost 2O2
planes.
While the British bomber losses
were falrly heavy, IL more than in
the last attack on Hanover, the
raid struck at weak point in the
German industrial machine-a re-
ported rubber shortage.
Hanover houses one of the larg-
est synthetic rubber plants on the
continent, in addition to a giant
oil refinery, scores of smaller in
dustrial plants, and three railroad
marshalling yards capable of ham
ding 2,100 cars day. F

A large proportion of the fleeing

ON EAST BANK
Russian troops already were de-

the east bank of the Dnieper from
Kiev to Dnepropetrovsk for the
decisive smash across the 3,200-fOot
wide stream.
Some Soviet units have thrust
across the river, presumably to
test enemy strength, but there was
| no confirmation that any bridge
head in force had been established.
While the Russians mopped up
the eastern suburbs of Dnepro-
petrovsk against diminishing re-
sistance, they ran into stiffened ra-
sistance in their frontal assault on
/ Kiev. The Germans lashed out in
counterattacks from fortified posi-
tions on the east bank opposite
Kiev, aided by an artillery barrage
laid down from Kiev itself.
North and south of Kiev, the
Russians hold unbroken lines of

before the tree is cut, the wood will
become harder and will make better
timber. In parts of the earth where
few other trees grow, the aspen has
proved of special Importance.
Aspen wood was used in making
many of the old-fashioned wooden
water pals, also for casks to hold
herring. Some wooden trays and
bowls are made from 1t today.
During the Middle Ages in Europe,
aspen wood was valued for the max
ing of arrows. While King Henry v
was on the English throne, a law
was passed that no man should use
such wood for any other purpose.
For any one who did so, there was
a fine equal to about s25 in our
money.
Aspens often reach a height Of
from so to 80 feet. Now and then
they grow as high as 100 feet. The
trunks may be as much as three feet
thick.
These trees grow at points near
sea level. also on the sides of noun
tains. In the United States and
Mexico dwarf aspens are found on
mountains more than mile and
half above sea level.

poplar family. The tree does trem-

very small breeze will set it a-flutter,
indeed breeze so small that a per-

The aspen Is not one Of the most
common trees, but it Is found in
many places. 1t grows from the
northern part of Siberia to the
British Isles, in Labrador and across
Canada to Alaska. In the United
States it is a native of both Maine
and California, and that statement
can be made about only very few
native trees. One of the others is
the black willow.
The leaves of the aspen provide
the rustling sound. They rub against
one another when they are touched
by gentle breeze.
There is legend that the cross
on which Jesus was crucified was
made from aspen wood. The legend
says that the tree trembles for that
reason!

fected the small animalcules or
Protozoa were believed by scientists
to be tiny plants. Later by careful
research and examination they were
found to be interesting little crea-
lures that could be easily seen mov-
ing about in drop of water.
Then they were placed in class
by themselves and known to be ami
mails on the lowest scale of existence.
The most tangible example of the
Protozoa are the Foraminifera.
These minute forms of life have a
shell like covering, each species
constructing its own special design.
They live in the same water and eat
the same food. They do not depart
from their individual type. The
foraminifera are the most abundant
of the Genus Globigerina.
When these wee creatures have
spent their allotted time near the
surface they die and drop to the
bottom of the ocean. Here they form
what is known as Globigernia ooze.
When one realizes that it takes
100000 protozoans to make an
ounce of this deposit, he gives up
trying to form even an idea of the
countless numbers of these shells it
would take to form the sedimentary
strata that eventually becomes fos-
silized. Time and numbers do not

The city of Paris is built upon
fossilized foraminifers. The won-
derful Egyptian pyramids are built
upon another genus of them. The
ocean floor, it is now believed, is
entirely covered with the calcareous
shells of these tiny creatures.
These animals of one cell spend
ing a brief active life and in such
vast numbers play their part in the
great plan. We sometimes think we
have found out much about the liv-
ing creatures we can examine with
or without the aid of magnifying
glass. But each day something new
and wonderful is unfolded to us.
When we begin to think we have
used up some material that is vital
to our way of living, experience
should warn us-we are on the eve
of something new and abundant.
