will arise where Russia will begin
to ponder, whether to further her
exhaustion by carrying on single

GAS SUPPLY CUT PROMISED TO

rivers found guilty of speeding or
therwise violating regulations gov

These penalties involve suspen-

Or the duration of the war, Mr.. Nc
,ormick said
The statement was issued after it
fas revealed that Melvin w. Kellen-
enz, II, of Annapolis, had been
ned three times on speeding charges
efore April IL, when he was the
river of car which struck and
'atally injured 9-year-old Annapolis
10Y.
In announcing his call for strict
analties against speeds, Mr.. McCor-
lick said:
Reports of recent weeks have
demonstrated conclusively that dis
egard of wartime restrictions on
.peed, and the eXtravagant use of
ationed materials is having a disas-
trous effect. Not only are gasoline,
ubber and irreplaceable automobiles
being wasted, but human lives have
)een lost and serious accidents caus-
ID by irresponsible motorists.
'"The Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission reports show an astounding
Increase in motor accidents this year
during the first 81 days of May a
100 per cent increase in fatalities
over the same period in 1943.
"The OPA responsibility, strictly
speaking, is only to insure proper
Use of rationed materials. To accom-
plish this, we have the help of State,
city and county police, requesting
hat they voluntarily report all vio-
ations of the speed laws. This en-
ables us to notify the War Price and
itationing Boards Immediately. They
conduct hearings of such cases and
nay at once revoke rations of the
motorists. More than 700 such revo-
;ations have been ordered this year"

Metal Stencils Used
Exclusively for Mail

The printing and publishing indus
try uses today millions of metal
stencils to address mail. These are
made of zinc alloy and are punched
on embossing machines.
In use the printing is done by
machine from the raised or en-
bossed surface. In this surface the
letters are in reverse. On the non
printing side the letters are de-
pressed below the surface of the
rest of the metal.
It is this surface, the intaglio
face, with which we are concerned.
Here the printing is not in reverse,
but may be read in the manner of
any ordinary print. In all stencil
reading and filing operations, in
which occupation thousands of op-
erators-many of them women
are employed in the industry, these
metal stencils, before and after use,
must be checked with copy for cor
rectness of name, address and code
marks, and then be sorted and filed
in drawers in correct relation to the
stencil lying before and behind.
1t is an exacting occupation re-
quiring a high degree of accuracy
of binocular function and accurate
depth perception, together with
rapid ocular and manual cooper
alton and equilibrium.

TIRE WARNING

A warning against "regrooved"
tires is issued by Keystone Automo-
bile Club, which points out that such
tires are not only potentially dan
gerous, but that ''regrooving" is un-
der the ban of Federal regulations.
ut is not generally known" said
a Club statement, that regrooving'
of tires is explicitly forbidden by a
War Production Order effective since
was given to the order at the time of
is issuance, and now that the tire
situation. has frightened somewhat
motorists in increasing numbers
have been inquiring about the kinds
of tires available for their use. We
Frequently have been asked whether
a good regrooved tire isn't as good
as good recapped tire"
"The answer of course is in the
negative. A 'regrooved tire is one in
which new tread is cut after the
original tread has worn off and the
tire has become smooth In other
words, a thin tire is made even thin
ner by cutting grooves into the re-
naming rubber. On the other hand,
he 'recapped tire is one in which
ubber is added to the tire carcass,
living an adequate new surface.
Keystone recently communicated
with the War Production Board to
earn if any relaxation had been
granted in the matter of 'regrooving.
We were informed that the original
order stands and that it prohibits re-
growing of all types of tires except
airplane and bus mileage contract
tire castings. The restriction does not,
Of course, apply to the growing of
Tres in the course of recapping or
restoring the original design to tread

granted for the growing of solid
;ruck tires and few requests have

ng of motorcycle tires owned by

Old Spanish colonial days are still
evoked in Mexico, Cuba, Chile, Co.
lombia, Uruguay, Argentina and the
Dominican Republic by the gold OF
silver peso which is the basic none
tary unit of these countries. Peso
meaning weight" in Spanish. de
noted a one-ounce silver coin otter
used instead of standard weights ir
weighing. The Spaniards applied
the term to money used in the New
World during the colonial era and
it was retained by some American
nations after they had won their
independence.
Until short time ago Paraguay
had a peso worth about third of a
cent in United States money, but a
recent decree replaced it with the
guarani, named after the original
Indian inhabitants of that country.
Haiti's gourde is another coin re-
calling early colonial days. 1t de-
rives from the French word mean
ing "fat" or "thick" and was used
affectionately to denote large coins
used by the colonists. Some authori-
ties, however, contend that the wore
derives from the homegrown Gala
bashes, or gourdes, once widely
used for barter.
Like Paraguay, Peru commemo-
rates the ancient Indian inhabitants
of the country with the sol, or
"sun." The sun was worshipped as
a god by the Incas inhabiting Peru
when the Spaniards came, and fig
ures prominently in the history and
traditions of the nations pre-colon-
ial and colonial days.

DEHYDRATED VEGETABLES
ALLOCATED

United States military and war ser
vices, it is expected, will use about
20 per cent of the 1944-45 supply OF
dehydrated vegetables under VIA
ALLEGATION for the year beginning
July /, 1914. Slightly more than
246 million pounds of vegetables. it
is expected, will be available during
that year for ALLEGATION among the
various claimants = approximately
40 per cent more than in 1943-44.
Because this production was expand
er primarily to meet war needs and
to conserve shipping space, more
than 95 per cent of the total alloca-
tion will be used by non-civilian
claimants. Most of the U. S. civilian
supply will go into soups.
Great Britain and Russia will re-
ceive 23 per cent of the expected sup
ply, U. s. civilians about 5 per cent,
and reserve for the liberated re-
gions and other exports account for
about one per cent each.

Possibility of using ammonium
sulfamate at certain stages of
growth to kill the common barberry
(Berberis vulgaris), the alternate or
overwintering host of black stem
rust, fungous disease of wheat, is in
dicated in experiments at the New
Hampshire agricultural experiment
station. If this method of eradica-
ton can be successfully developed,
large savings in back-breaking and
expensive labor can be made, since
present procedure in wheat-growing
areas requires parties of workers to
dig and grub the bushes from the
soil.
These plants heretofore have been
considered resistant to ammonium
sulfamate. The New Hampshire re-
port, however, says: "The young fo-
iage of barberry sheds water or
spray to such a degree that even
with the aid of a spreading agent
much of the spray fails to adhere
to the leaves, and the plants at
that time are quite resistant. The
mature foliage toward the end of
July, however, was set rather even
ly with an application of medium
fine spray when spreading agent
was used, and the plants at that
time succumbed to treatment"

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO CoME

The record-breaking fight of the
Lockheed Constellation from coast
to coast in less than seven hours is
not only historic but is a portent OF
things to come. The performance
graphically illustrates that We will
have a more closely knit world and
that we must think in terms of time
rather than space. Furthermore, it
proves that the United States must
be ready with the planes and with the
fliers, for what we can do, others will
do.
According to an analysis published
by The Index, quarterly publication
of the New York Trust Co., aviation,
a 2O-billion dollar industry last year
and ranking as the largest in the
country, is due for an additional 5O
per cent increase in 1914. in 1884
passenger transportation for the first
time represented the source of more
than half the total revenue OF the
airlines-55.2 per cent, compared
with AZ per cent for mail and 2.S pei
cent for express. Seven years later,
the breakdown showed passenger
revenues contributing 76 per cent,
mail 21 per cent and express appro-
ximately per cent" Total revenues
of the air transport companies III
1943 were estimated at 125 million
dollars, of which 72 per cent was
passenger traffic, 21 per cent mai
and z per cent express.

Let Mud Dry Before
Starting to Clean Fabric

Textile specialists of the U. S.
, department of agriculture advise al
ways letting the mud dry, then
brushing off as much as possible.
Then, if the mud is on washable fab
ric, soak in clear cool water before
washing with soap and warm water.
If the fabric is not washable, sponge
with denatured alcohol. On rayon
or on colored clothes, use very dilute
alcohol-twice as much water as al
cohol.
When mud contains oil or grease,
treat the stain like a hard grease
spot. Rub first with little vaseline
or lard to loosen the grease, then
sponge with cleaning fluid. Red mud
often contains iron and must be
treated like a rust stain with lemon
juice and salt or some other rust
remover.
Mud often does more damage to
leather than to fabric. If left to
dry on shoes, it may make a perma-
nent stain. Remove mud at once
from shoes by washing with damp
cloth if necessary. Stuff them with
paper to help them hold their shape
and dry them slowly. All leather
should be dried slowly and away
from direct heat.

Marshall Islands

The Marshall Islands are largely
made up of two chains of atolls, ex.
tending northwestward from the Gill
bert group in more or less parallel
lines. Mill and it's neighboring islet,
Narik, form the southern extremity
of the eastern, or Radak, chain.
The name Radak means Sunrise. I"
Given because of its geographic
position, the word is also symbolic
of the indicated promise of Amer
lean action in this part of the world.
One of the 80 Marshall atolls, Mill
comprises roughly oblong-shaped
cluster of islets and reefs surround
ing a large lagoon. The lagoon is
about % miles long and nearly. II
miles wide at its widest point Navi-
gable entrances into it are practi-
cally all from the north. The best
channel, on the northwest, is about
$50 yards across and deep enough
to accommodate the largest ships.

There has been general acceptance
of the idea of rationing and reason
able price control as a war measure.
Everyone understands that the prob
lens of the OPA are multitudinous.
But the public cannot understand
why price and rationing control is
allowed to develop into method OF
oppression in many cases.
Take ruling like the highest
price line limitation" adopted two
years ago. 1t has been unworkable
on a basis of fairness and equality.
It is therefore heartening to read
that at last certain adjustments will
be made, although the public now
takes such promises with ''spoon-
full" of SALT,
Another practice of the price con-
troll program which is shaking pub
lie confidence, is denial of court ap-
peal on OPA rulings. No satisfactory
answer has yet been given for shut
ting a. man out of regular courts
when he objects to ruling of the
OPA, and forcing him to go before
an OPA emergency court" where a
complainant can be put to intermin-
able delays.

OUT IN FRONT

The oil industry has always been
out in front when it came to being
ahead of demand. If it had been as
unprepared to meet the needs of this
war as was our own government, one
hesitates to say what would have
happened to our nation. Fortunately
oil, in order to meet the demands OF
consumers, kept abreast of the times
And now, while the political man
ayers who caused our country to be
so wholly unprepared for war, are
dreaming up fantastic ideas for en-
ploying our armed forces when they
return, the oil industry is again out
in front with it's plans to have suit
able jobs for each returning former
employe. They are studying ways to
utilize the added training and ex
perience, judgment and leadership
while serving in the fighting forces
Those in the service from the petro-
leum industry can feel that top oil
executives consider this one of their
most important postwar obligations.

Canadian Natl Railways
Similar to u. S. Lines

The Canadian National railways
tariffs are on a somewhat lower
scale than those in the U. S. Some
features favor Canadian operation
. but the cost of maintaining rail-
; way and carrying traffic is at least
as high in Canada as in the United
States.
In the usual tests of operating eff
cheney the Canadian National COM
pares favorably with the average of
class one railroads of the United
States. Train speeds are similar,
coal consumption is somewhat low
er on the Canadian National. The
percentage of loaded freight car
miles to total freight car miles is
also somewhat better. Freight car
miles per day are practically the
same. There is but little difference
between the operating performance
although the traffic density of the
Canadian National is less than one
half of the average of class one
United States railroads.
While government owned, the Ca
madam National railways is man.
aged and operated in exactly the
same manner as any one of the
large railway systems of the Unit
ed States. The Canadian National
railways has board of directors
headed by president and a chair
man, who is executive chief of the
system. 1t has it's own bylaws. 1t
manages it's own purse. Employees
are employees of the railway, not of
! the government, subject only to the
general conditions of labor-manage-
ment relationship.

TO ALL MEDIA:
Because the Fifth War Loan,
starting June 18th, comes at time
when there will be considerable dis
cussion of politics, candidates, and
issues, it might be well to restate
the fact that the War Bond CAM
paign is completely non-political.
Just as invasion and the winning
of victory is everybody's Job and re-
sponsibility, so is the promotion and
sale of War Bonds Numbered among
the million volunteer War Bond
statesmen are people of all parties,
races and creeds, with one common
denominator-they are all true AM
orleans.
We feel it important that there
be no misunderstanding as to the
non-political status of the War Bond
campaign. Consequently, we request
that the official Treasury newspaper
ads, radio transcriptions, outdoor
panels and magazine ads not be
sponsored by any one political candi-
date, committee or party.

Jan Women

japanese women, long subjugated,
are entering factories and war work,
which they relish as a form of free
dom hitherto unknown. Since Pearl
Harbor, the numbers of these wom-
en- war workers have increased by
thousands, coming to the munition-
making centers from as far north as
Hokkaido and as far south as KY
ushu. AS the position of women in
Japanese society is still on the slave
level, and marriage was the only
career open to girls, many of them
regard the factory as a means Of
emancipation. Moreover, high-school
girls are becoming bus drivers, tick
ct punchers, street-car conductors.
Grandmothers are running nurser-
les and kindergartens, so that young
mothers can work. Women are
studying medicine, surgery, nursing.
Even the geisha are welding and
riveting.
