Details for the new reporting
system set up by the Office Of De-

Tuesday by George T. Musselman,

Under the new system, truck and
bus operators who are eligible for
tires but are unable to obtain tire
certificates from the local ration
board because of exhausted quotas
or other reasons, will immediate
" report to the ODT. The ODT will
then be able to determine the
number and type of tires needed
in specific localities to keep essen
tlal trucks and buses in operation
and ill attempt to relieve the
serious situation now existing by
seeing to it that available tires are
distributed according to needs.

when under shell or mortar fire
are described by men in the Low

Instead, the ad writer's are
frankly stressing the appeal to
the opposite sex.
Nor has there been the need
to depend on packaging this
year as big selling point. With
the shortage of bottles, molds
and paper, many perfumes are
packaged simply, minus the fancy
bottle or expensive pre-war box.
Besides the furtive little men
who dash by you whispering
''Wanna buy a $50 bottle of per-
fume for $5?' everybody but the
butcher seems to be in the per-
fume business.
Famous dress designers sucn
as Hattie Carnegie and Eisen-
berg. and milliners Lilly Dache.
Sally Victor and John Frederics,
who now has a complete cos
neiics line. are selling the am
brosia.
This year there hasn't been
much change in perfume scents
They range from the very heavy
Egyptian exotic odors to the light
floral scents and vary in price
from 81 to $50 a dram.
Colognes Return
Because alcohol for perfumes
was cut to 70 per cent of normal
volume and later to so per cent
there has been revival of the
solid colognes which were popu-
lar generation ago.
Some of these are put up in at
tractive compact form to be car
rled in the bag, others are wrap
ped in tinfoil and encased in a
bottle when not in use. Still
others are put up in sets match
ing lipsicks.
