The reason SO many shoulders
are planked out like bullback's,
sleeves look as big as the Liberty

years coats, which tax-concious

CHICAGO, July l9.-tR-It takes
more than a national political con-
vention and tight over the vice
presidential nominee to stump the
Quiz Kids.
Playing quizmaster to radios
most famous teen age question
and-ansWer troupe, I asked four of
them this: Who do you think will
be the Democratic vice presiden-
tial nomine and Why?"
While the experts labored, the
Quiz Kids came through. TIL ey
gave Vice President Henry A. Wal
lace two votes for denomination;
Senator Majority Leader Alben
Barley one; War Mobilizer James

Justice William @. Douglas a half
vote each.
AS the convention settled down
&c official business here to day
here's the way they answered:
Joel Kupperman, age 8: Either
James Byrnes, because he's a
southerner, but the north will ac-
cept him; or Justice Douglas of
the Supreme court-only I think
Ryrnes has a letter chance. Of
course, it doesn't matter because
the Republicans will win anyway.

For the Chicago Daily Times: my
own personal hope is Barley, be-
cause when we Quiz Kids visited
the Senate, Senator Barley gave
us the thrill of being introduced
from the floor, and afterward he
was so nice in writing to us. He
seems so human.
From the political standpoint,
l think he will be the nominee be-
cause he's from a southern border

ways be en- friend Of tn
President, and l think he might
be the Presidents second choice
as Wallace may be destroyed by
the southern vote. Of course, Sen
stor Barley and h President
have had some fights, but most
good friends do.
"The fact that Barley did defy
the President pleased ants in the
Democratic party, so he might be
happy medium to make every

RULING ON JOBS

The U. S. Employment Service
office has been receiving reports
OF non-essential employers offering
jobs to persons in other no-essen-
tial occupatios, Felix "A. Scroggs,
manager of the local office, re-
vealed yesterday.
These offers are made especial
~ to men,, Scroggs said, land
sometimes more money is offered
as inducement'
Since July /, no male worker
car. be employed whether essentia
or non-essential unless he has a
re1erral card from the U. S. EN-
ployment Service office, Scroggs
explained. Continuing he said
This is necessary because man.
power priorities have been and are
being assigned to all employers in
North Carolina, and the qualified
person cannot be employed in q
lower priority job as long as there
is higher priority job OPEN.
A female worker may be hired
without clearing through the EN-.
ployment office provided she has
been a resident of the community
for 80 days and has not been work
ing at an essential occupation fol
go days, the employment service
manager noted. However, if a fe
male is an in-migrate or has work
ed at essential occupation, she alst
must be hired through the employ
ment office, he added.
81 feel sure that these employ
ers who have offered jobs to work
ers that should clear through thu
employment service did so because
they were not familiar with thi
regulation Scroggs said.
The manpower priority regula
ton was necessary because there
are certain types of workers vital
ly needed in the war effort and
is hoped that this method. of re
ferral will held solve the prob
lem," he started.
Scroggs advised that if employ
ers are not sure as to who they
can emp oy it is best to call the
employment office, for periodical
checks are to be made on all en-
ployers by crew of inspectors tt
see that all employers, large Of
small, essential or non-essential'
are complying with this regulation

count of rationed meats, butter,
fats or sugar from now on. Office
of Price administration is squirting
soup manufa cturers on by giving
them these items ration free.
That gives them a free hand
to make soup as long as their
containers last. Seasonal soups
such as asparagus, pea, tomato
and mushroom have no limits on
the cans allowed Non-seasonal
meat soups arc limited to the
amount of the 1912 pack.
The kind of meat used in soups
is so plentiful that meat-packers
have had trouble seeing it. With
the homefolks strictly limited on
rationed meats, more canned meat
soups are good way to get I'M
rationed, but manufacturers have
been held back in some cases by
limited rations of butter or marga-
rine, or small amounts of special
rationed meatcuts used in their
recipes. OPA warns that increased
amounts of meats, fats or sugar
must be used to make more cans
OF soup, not to increase the pro-
portion of rationed food in the
recipe.

1t is made from charcoal. Besides being
worse than the lower grades of gasoline it re-

choice, is accepted by Allied air commanders

Enemy Anchors Broken

Allied forces in Normandy held field dav
on Sunday, Bradley's American forces taking
La Haye De Puts and Montgomery's British
army. Caen.
Thus tae Germans lost the western and the
eastern anchors of their main defense line in
Normandy, to hold which they battled so des-
perately. 1t is not unreasonable to think that
the interviewing area still defended by the
enemy will collapse without these bastions to
tie to.
The German !ne has many kinks, which will
make it the harder to hold From, LIE Hanet
northeast of Caen, it extends irregularly south
west to Bougy loops northward toward lilly
and southwestward to Caumont. on the Azure
river; thence northeasterly to ST. Andre. north
to Meautis and Sauveuc and south the La
Maye. These many salients afford the advanc-
ing Allied forces excellent opportunity of cut
ting units and holding them inextricably in
pockets.
Another advantage now accruing to the AL
lies is the cutting of rail commune alton from
the south over which, and which alone the
Germans might hope to reinforce their en-
battled troops on the main defense line If
Montgomery and Bradley succeed in circling
enemy forces, now that they hold Caen and
La Haye, all main lines and branches serving
Normandy may be put out of commission
Rommel will be able to bring up neither re-
serves or supplies.
With the fall of Caen and La Haye the AL
lies, wlo are assumed to contemplate an ad-
vance on Paris, appear to have taken great
step forward
