A sergeant who was recently commissioned lieutenant has found that the promotion will cost him over $450 a year. He had $11 ,309-of which $1,189 was ac- cumulated interest-in Soldiers Deposits. The account had to be moved because this banking facili- ty, which pays off 436 annually, is for enlisted personnel only. Tho increase in pay doesn't make up for his total loss on the deal but he's hanging on to his bars any how.

Q. At what rate are War Bonds
being redeemed?-J. S. E.
A. The Treasury Department re-
ports that redemptions of Series E
F and G War Bonds up to Decem-
ber 81, 1943, amounted to only
per cent OF sales since these issues
were first offered. Sales, which be-
gan May /, l941, exceeded $25, ,O0O,-
100000 and redemptions, inclusive of
both cost and accrued interest, were
$1,763 100000.
@. Why do birds have different
colored eggs?-T. M.
A. According to some naturalists
this is for identification. The colors
are not so noticeable where birds
nest by themselves, but where they
nest in colonies great varieties of
color and pattern are observed.
9. What is the meaning of $50
Wet "?-M. f. P.
A. Soviet is Russian word mean
Ing council or deliberative body"
@. What is the cost per day in
the District Of Columbia of keeping
person in jail?-H. H.
A. The Board of Public Welfare
says that the total cost per day per
inmate is 92.1 cents.
@. How badly was the White House
damaged when it was burned by the
British in 1814?-E. @.
A. The fire gutted the interior of
the building and badly damaged the
exterior walls. All preparatory work
and repairs to masonry were done
in 1915 and early in 1916. BY Sep
tember, 1917, the work had pro-
gressed sufficiently to permit Presi-
dent Monroe to spend few days
in the building, and in December
of that year he took up his resi-
dence there.
Q. What happens to unclaimed
parcel post packages?-T. r. w.
A. In the case of an ordinary par
eel post package, it would be held
for 60 days. An insured parcel
would be held for six months, and
flrst-claSs parcel one year.
@. How was cooking done on
board the Mayaower?-A. E. r.
A. DR.. Azel Ames says that the
arrangements for the use of fire
were exceedingly crude and were
limited to the open "hearthbox"
filled with sand, the chief cooking
appliance being the tripod-kettle of
the early navigators. This might
be set up in any part Of the ship
where the "sand-hearth" could go
also, and the smoke be cared for.
@. What was the Battle of the
Three Emperors?-C. F.. B.
A. The Battle of Austerlitz, 1905

Alexander I of Russia, and Francis
II of Austria.

which a flood of masterpieces was
produced. Among them were the
Kreutzer Sonata; Eroica, Fourth
Fifth, Pastoral, Seventh, Eighth and
Ninth Symphonies: Emperor Con-
certo, Missa Solemnis, and his only

Anti-Union Tactics
Given Heave- Ho
By Electricians

An employer may not profit from
his own union-busting tactics, the
National Labor Relations Board
ruled this week in voicing results
of an election at the Joshua Hendy
Iron Works, division of the Crock
er-Wheeler Electrical Manufacture
ing Company at Newark, N. ]. A So
called Independent union won
the vote by a small margin over the
Electrical Workers.
The board found that the manage
ment fired active I.B.E.W. support
ers just before the balloting; threat
ened others with discharge if they
backed the Electrical Workers, and
went out of its way to aid the "inde-
pendent" A new election will be
ordered, the board said.
Meanwhile, the I.B.E.W. was GER
tilted by the board this week as bar
gaining agency for employees within
its jurisdiction at the Westinghouse
Electric plant in Portland, Ore, fol-
lowing poll which the union won
by 90 per cent majority.

To fulfill the governments
huge production needs, the report
notes, ''Our workers engaged in

Women in particular deserve cred

not only assures that victory will be

won more quickly and with fewer
casualties. Our armed forces have
more and better equipment than oul

limitation" Scare
Refuted by Figures

Wage freezing advocates have long
raised the hullabaloo that if workers
earned few more dollars they would
at once go on a buying spree, and
thus bring on imitation.
That propaganda has been exposed
as utterly false and this week it was
refuted again in figures released by
the Office of War Information.
The o. W. l. reported that income
payments to individuals in 1913 rose
by % billion dollars over 1912 to to-
tai of 142 billion. However, instead of
rushing out to spend all that extra
money, Americans boosted their pur-
chases of all consumer goods and
services by only eight billion-from
81 to 906 billion Most of that in
crease represented higher prices, rath-
er than additional goods.
What the workers had left, after
sharply increased taxes and war bond
investments, went into savings.

Women Take Leaf
From Labor's Book
League Of Women Voters In New Orleans Begin
Door ToDoor Campaign To Make International
Cooperation Dominant Issue

NEW ORLEANS Taking a leaf
from labor's book the League of
Women Voters here has begun a
house to house, persOn-tO-person
campaign to make international CO.
operation the dominant issue i'm the
1914 election.
The campaign was set off at a
meeting addressed by Mrs. Monroe
Anderson of the National League
of Women Voters, who described
the citizenry as the ''fOurth branch
of our government, without which
the others cannot function"
Briefly sketching the history of the
league, Mrs. Anderson reviewed the
work of its war service units and out
lined its new foreign policy campaign
to get all citizens to make a place in
their thoughts for the idea of inter
national cooperation among the
United Nations.
The league is only about year old
in New Orleans. 1t was preceded here
by the Womans Citizens union,
group of women who brought about
the introduction of voting machines in
the city-by means Of picket line, a
tactic which stirred conservative New
Orleans to its roots.
Recent activities of the New Or
leans league include: getting out
the gubernatOrial vote, urging the
servicemen's vote, removal of poll
ing places from skidrows and sa-
looms to public buildings in the
neighbOrhOOds.

Both sides also united on the prop
osition that the country Seems to be
in no mood to accept chaos or de-

production" They called for initia-
tive by industry to achieve full en-
ployment, so as to keep government
regulation to minimum
As one means of bringing about
sterilization after the war, union
and management have also agreed
to experiment with a guaranteed
annual wage plan, to replace the
present system, under which con-
struction electricians get a high
hourly rate, but work only part of
the year.

The mischief which the act was

trary causes for disqualification as of

lnds that the section devoted to the
quallhcat1onS required of a worker
claiming eligibility for benefits, is
expressed in language indicating that
1t IS from the angle of the unem-
Ployed person that one must look to
determine whether or not he is avail
able for work.
Take an extreme case, although
the instant one is extreme enough.
In that through the whim of Mi
shaw's last employer he is uniustIy
deprived of statement of avail
ability and thereby rendered un-
available for work in the brOard
meaning of that phrase. Assume
that all employers in the state
should enter into an agreement
among themselves that no person
who was wearing a bow tie would
be hired. Although the example is
ridiculous, the position of anyone
claiming that a person was not
available for work" because he
wore a fOr-in-hand, would surpass
the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the iIlustra-
ton.
Availability for work is to be
decided upon what the claimant
does and not upon the existence of
regulations, foreign to the act.
which bar employers from hiring.
And it makes no difference whether
such regulations arise from agree
ments entered into by industry or
imposed on it by federal authority.
In short, the test of a workers
availability is subjective. AS long as
no provision of the act disqualifies
him, he is entitled to its benefits.
so far as the point under discussion
is involved, when he has exposed
himself unequivOcally to the labor
market.
The appeal is sustained and the
matter is remanded to the Commits
