Four ma jor bottlenecks are crampng German wal
production this year, Judging by the best available
data from the land Of the enemy
The first, and worst, is a shortage of coal pro-
duction The Germans use coal in the production OF
gasoline synthetic rubber chemicals soaps greases
and in supplying the power for transportation, cleo
trcity and steel mills. In all, the essential war
requirements total 450OOoO0O tons annually But
according to information from German sources actual
production is only 37O,000oO0 tons
One reason the German air force may be disput-
ing only the major Allied raids is that the available
fuel for the Lufwae has been cut about rs per cent
The Nazi air forces requirements OF gasoline for 1914
estimated at 100000 tons, which would require
270,000000 tons of coal to produce. Naz Munitions
Minister Albert Speer recently ordered the manu-
facture of artificial gasoline cut down by 100000 tons
The German machine is depending than
upon female labor which is estimated to be only
about rs per cent efficient as male. Before the
war made up per cent of the German labor
force. Now it is 80 per cent. In terms of reduced
manpower efficiency, this amounts to shortage of
100000 men, from Is to 10 million labor hours
Bot aviation and tank and armored car produc-
ton has been cut appreciably in Germany because
of shortage of steel Allied airnen have knocked
out some of the Reichs greatest steel mills
Transportation facilities in Germany in bad
shape and there is apparent shortage of machinery
to carry production Both the German rail-
roads and machine tools beginning to wear out.
and the Nazis are not in position to replace them.
The use of giant cargo planes to move freight in
Germany is only token of the growing serious
ness of the transportation bottleneck. In planning
for war, Hitler planned to lean heavily upon super
highway system, and the railroads were somewhat
neglected. He forgot that highways useless
without trucks gasoline and rubber, of which
very plentiful in Germany today. es'i.
These factors not due cause for belief that
the rest of the war will be easy that Germany is
about whipped. But they do reveal some mortal
weaknesses in the Nazi structure which time and
attack will exploit to the fullest

maybe she lives in a house In which
there is telephone in every room,
including the baths, or at least one
with trailing cord that can be
carried from one end of the palace
to the other.
Miss Toumanova has phone, all
right, but 1t is on party line. There
are five other residents of Pacific
Palisades who have the same tele-
phone number, except for the letter.
Their phones are better located, too,
than her own. It is on the back
porch.
Miss Toumanova counts herself
lucky, at that. When she first went
to Pacific Palisades to live, almost
no one had phone. Everybody
just went down to the drugstore
and stood in line, like soldiers wait
ing for chow, to do all their calling
on Saturday afternoon.
She waited more than an hour to
make her first call one Saturday.
The callee was out.
The dark-eyed ballerina found
out, she says, just what a lush para
disc southern California really was
when she purchased her present
home. She was so enchanted with
the place itself that she neglected
to notice at first that it was alive
with bees. Not just the orchard
with its avocado trees, but the
house itself.
The queen bee of Miss Touma-
nova's tribe had settled down under
the roof and so, naturally, several
million drones came to call. She
had to have the roof torn of the
house in order to complete the dis
possession of her unwanted callers.
That was not entirely without its
reward, however, for she found As
pounds Of honey.

Changing from ballet to straight
dramatic work, Miss Toumanova
discovered, is to cut out quite a Job
for yourself. Ballet requires that
person keep in good physical trim,
better shape than the professional
athlete. She has not given up
dancing, understand, just laid it
aside temporarily. So when she is
not acting or farming-on a limited
scale-she takes time out every day
for a stretch of calesthenics and
dancing.
Miss Toumanova, in town for a
couple OF days, is new Hollywood

prowess Of its publicists. After all
