Denmark doesn't have clothing
and she doesn't have coal, but
no other country in Europe could
possibly be so well fed. '~..
The only food items rationed are
butter and rye and white bread,
coupons for which are collected in
! restaurants. Bread is so plentiful
that rationing is just formality,
but butter coupons still are collect
ed since Denmark was unable to
import products with which to
make margarine during the war
and had to depend entirely on but
ter.
Some other items which are not
rationed but are impossible to get
are both coffee and tea, for which
Danes drink a totally unrela<d,
totally unsavory rationed sub
stitute. Other unrationed items in
possible to find are oranges,
lemons, bananas and fruit jucies.
Chocolate is missing from the mar
kets and cigarettes are virtually so
For the ordinary person not buy
ing on the black market the only
alcohol available is "Schnapps''-
mild form of Vodka made from
potatoes, which Danes drink with

But never mind coffee, tea and
chocolate, and I'll get along with
out cigarettes and alcohol.

WPB to Coordinate

BY SuER FREEMAN

The War Production Board

are planning closer co-opera-
tion which viii benefit the
automobile industry. Under an
amended directive. WPB will
check request5 for machine
tools against national lists of
surplus government-owned tools
and, where possible. fill the
needs from the DPC lists.
The requests for tools total
ing 500, 900 or under will be

ing $4,000 or more will be
checked with DPC TO make
sure that il does not exist

This close teamwork between

Heavy Selling


NEW YORK, May 10 (UP)-
Selling pressure increased on the
stock market today. Prices had
their worst break since March 26
on increased volume.
Two reasons stood out for the
selling. The top one was the in
dication as expressed by Secretary
Morgenthau that the administra-
tion will fight any proposals for
a general tax relief at the present
time. The second. losing in favor,
was that the market was entitled
10 drop at this time to consoli-
date the recent gains.
Added TO these were rumors
and guesses. Among the latter
was the guess that Japan would
not hold out long now that Ger
many was out OF the conflict.
This guess was said to be respon-
sible for weakness in the railroad
issues where losses ranged to
more than 2 points. Steels also
were depressed substantially from
early highs. Aircrafts, however.
ran counter TO the trend with
gains running to nearly 2 points
in Douglas.
Rails featured in turnover. Also
active were some of the motors,
and group Of individual issues
including several aircrafts, oils

What
In Business
Private Income
Hits New High
By WARD SCHULTZ

Total income payments 10 in
v1duals in the United States
>Se in 1914 for the sixth con-
ecutive year and reached the
.ecord high figure OF $l56.794.-
10000. according to the Alex
lnder Hamilton Institute This
compared with $l54. 134. .0OO, 600
in the prewar year of 1898 and
with $46. 6.272. .OO0, 900 at the bot
ON of the depression in 1888.
Income payments from every
source reached new high rec
ords last year with the excep-
ton of income from interest
and dividends. Income from in
terest and dividends. amount
ing 10 Sl1. 1875, 900 900 in 1914,
was larger. however, than IN
any preceding year since 1880
when such income amounted TO
$1l. .6SS. 900, 900.
Although income from interest
and dividends in 1914 came
fairly close TO equaling the 1890
figure. II represented a much
smaller proportion of the total
income because total income IN
1914 was more than double the
1880 amount. Income from in
tereSt and dividends amounted
10 only IL per cent Of total in
come payments in 1914 as COM
pared with l5.9 per cent in 1880.
As usual, wages and salaries
in 1914 represented the greatest
source of income. Income from
wages and salaries, amounting
10 Sill 734. .000.0 last year.
was equal 10 7l.3 per cent OF
total income payments. Wages
and salaries were thus approx
10 times the amount paid
out in the form of interest and
dividends.
