You Can Modernize That Old Iron Bed
By Making Slipcover for the Head

cut iron just as a wood saw cuts
wood and that such a saw is
very handy thing to have around
the house. 1t may, for example,
be used for a major operation on
an old iron bed. With the aid of
such saw the cage-like bars at
the foot may be cut off close to the
cross bar at the top of the legs.
The head may also be lowered and
knobs and projections also may be
cut off.
When the bed has been cut down
the head may be padded with cot

be made to match the bedspread.

TOBACCO ALLOTMENT
HASlBEEN INCREASED

Atlanta-The War Food Ad-
ministration upped tobacco al
lotments to cigarette manufac-
turers this week by 100000
pounds equivalent to 782,000,000
packs of scarce cigarettes-but
for u. S. smokers it remained
purely an optical illusion.
The catch, said the VIA, is
that flue-cured leaf requires two
to three years aging before it can
be used as smoking tobacco. Sole
hope of cigarette starved smok-
ers would be earlier release of
previously-stored leaf.
The VIA announcement said
ALLEGATION of flue-cured leaf for
cigarette manufacture was being
increased from 578, 100000 to 624,-
100000 pounds because produc-
ton had exceeded preseason es-

Highlights OF Roosevelt's
Campaign Speech Are Cited

Washington - Highlights OF
President Roosevelt's address
Saturday night formally opening
his campaign for a fourth term,
are reviewed here:
The whole purpose OF Republi-
can oratory these days seems to
be to switch labels.
Imitation may be the sincerest
form of flattery-but I am afraid
that in this case it is the most OBJ
vious common or garden variety
of fraud.
There are enlightened, liberal
elements in the Republican party
but these liberal elements
were not able to drive the Old
Guard Republicans from their
entrenched positions.
We have all seen many mar
velous stunts in the circus, but no
performing elephant could turn a
handspring without falling flat
on his back.
There are some politicians who
kept their heads buried deep in
the sand These very men
are now asking the American
people to entrust to them the con-
duct of our foreign policy and
our military policy.
I know that there are those
labor baiters among the opposi-
ton who, instead of calling at
tention to the achievement of la
Dor in this war, prefer to pick on
the occasional strikes which have
occured-strikes which have been
condemned by every responsible
national labor except one. And
that ane labor leader, incidentally
is certainly not among my sup
porters.
Those who today have the mil
itary responsibility for waging
this war are not helped by
the statements of men who with
out responsibility and without
knowledge of the facts, lecture
the Chiefs of Staff of the United
The fact is that since Pearl
Harbor only one-tenth of one
per cent of man-hours have been
lost by strikes.
The opposition has already i'm
ported into this campaign the
propaganda technique invented
by the dictators abroad. Accord
ing to that technique, you should
never use a small falsehood; al
ways big one ."
If I were a Republican leader
speaking to a mixed audience, the
last word in the whole dictionary
that I think I would use is that
word depression"
Peace-building tasks were fac
ed once before nearly a generation
ago. They were botched by a
Republican Administration. That
must not happen this time.
