GASOLINE BLACK MARKET
MOTORISTS HEADACHE

The sorest spot in the makeup of
he motorist is the pinch of gasoline.
Rumors that some effort would be
made to clear UP the situation have
been current for weeks, especially
since it has been stated in Washing
ton so many times that military de-
mands are being fully met and that
entirely ample reserves-enough for
several months-are in storage for
military purposes.
What hurts most is the visual evil
dence on every hand that so many
seem to have all the gasoline they
want, while the conscientious driver
has so little. There must be a sur
plus in the retail market which is
icing sopped up by other than legiti-
mate coupon holders. The remedy
les in the hands of the motorist him
self-don't patronize the black mar
xet which accounts for an illegal
seepage at the rate of 912,5O0,000
.allons per annum-nearly billion
sallons. If this could be divided
qually among the nations some 49,
100000 car owners, it would give
,ach one about SO more gallons per
lear or approximately 500 more
niles of car use.
The fault does not lie with the
)PA-it is only distributing agen-
~. We all want increased rations
tut these are dependent, first, upon
he progress of tie war; secondly,
upon the elimination of the black
market; and thirdly, by the agencies
involved making their own and inter-
.gency procedures more efficient and
harmonious.

Home Laundry Shortcuts

With thousands of women tackling
tie full load of the family wash for
the first time due to laundry service
curtailments, there is special need
for home-front education on the cas-
lest way of doing an expert job.
Encouraging news for home laun-
dresses is offered by recent time
study which reports that, with sutfi-
Gent planning and shortcut methods
an average laundry for family of
four, amounting to 35 pounds, takes
about two hours and twenty-five
minutes to wash in washing ma
chine and rinse. Careful sorting of
clothes ahead of time and advance
soaking of soiled articles for 10 or
5 minutes were proved to be helpful
time-saving procedures. The opera
tons also were streamlined by sew
eral time-saving techniques which
are inexpensive and available to anna
teur laundreses. For example, by dis
solving bluing flakes directly in the
suds, bright looking clothes were

there was no need for the traditional
ohore of separate bluing job. An
other shortcut recommended by ex-
perts calls for dissolving quarter
Of cake of special wax-like pro-
duct in each quart of starch to insure
he iron against sticking. This meth
Cd assures a satiny smooth finish in
addition to making the ironing cas-
Ter and avoiding strain on the fabric.
This wax-like product also saves time
by making it easier to iron starched
clothes while slightly damp and dis
pense with the time honored chore of
drying first and then sprinkling.
Bad posture was reported to be a
major and easily avoided cause of
traditional "blue Monday" back :
aches. Tests indicated that most COM

ply a patriotic urge to assist in
financing the war so that it may
be prosecuted to an early and VIC
torious conclusion. Modern war
demands governmental expendi-
lures far in excess of those which
may be met by current revenue
receipts. This means Government
borrowing. If large part of this
borrowing is through commercial
banks additional inf1ationary
spending power is created through
the expansion of credit. On the
other hand, if the borrowing is
largely from individuals much of
their excess funds are drained off.
Hence, the pressure on prices re-
sulting from unusually large funds

goods and services is relieved, and
thus imitation retarded.

agricultural production and
some increase in average
prices received above those

Nagoya ranks only third in the |
number of factories devoted to
aircraft, her output of finished
planes is believed to be first
in the nation.
The same is true of other lines
in which parts made in. other
cities are routed to Nagoya for
assembly into disable weapons.
The country's second largest
automobile plant, Toyada, is To-
Gated at Karomo, part of the
Nagoya industrial area. With the
Nissan plant in Yokohama, this
before the war accounted for
an overwhelming proportion of
Japan's automotive production,
and presumably now is very inn
portant in the manufacture OF
tanks, jeeps, trucks, mobile ar
tillery mounts and planes. Ma
goya is Japan's first center of
machine tool manufacture and
has important light electrical
goods and chemical industries.
NAGASAKI
With Sasebo, Nagasaki ranks
third in shipbuilding, behind
OSaka-Kobe and Yokohama, and
close to the top in electrical
equipment, both light and
heavy. She has also a significant
aircraft parts industry.
But Nagasaki may be even
more important, because of her
geographical location on Kyushu
Southernmost of the important
japanese islands, as the port of
departure for much of the En-
pire's military and naval traffic
into the areas where the war
now is being fought.
FUKUOKO AND YAWATA
These twin cities, also on the
island of Kyushu, together con-
stitute Japan's foremost iron
and steel center. They rank
close to the top also in chemi-
Gals.
In addition, they have impor-
tant shipbuilding, light and
heavy electrical equipment, au-
tomotive, rubber, ordnance and
light metals industries. Their
Importance is out of all proper
ton to their populations, which

The smaller cities of Niigata,

tant chemical and machine tool
industries.
SHIMONOSEKI AND MOJI
Prior to the war, railroad cars
carrying raw materials, parts
and finished products between
the two main japanese islands,
Honshu and Kyushu, had to be
ferried across narrow strait,
which constituted something of
a bottleneck. A tunnel now has
been built between Shimonoseki
and Moi.
