Zip MOVERS DEFENDED

Don't laugh at the person who
moves his lips when he reads. You
probably do the same thing-only
inwardly, say the scientists of the
Sonotone research laboratories.
The ability to read, they declare,
is based on the ability to hear.
Children learn to talk by listening
to their elders and they learn to
read by pronouncing words out
loud. So it is natural that many
people continue to move their lips
when reading even when grown up.
This is simply a carry-over from
their early school days. Other peo-
pie have learned to conceal the
outward movements of their lips.
the scientists say, but the vast ma
Jority continue to pronounce words

|HOmemdkerS Are
Urged to Saue
Kitchen Fats

Reduction in civilian supplies OF
margarine, shortening, cooking and
salad oils, intensifieS the seriousness
of the fats and oils situation, and
emphasizes the Importance OF
homemakers' salvaging every pos
sible drop of used household fats,
according tc Angus c. Doane,
Michigan State Director for USDAs
Office of Supply at Detroit.
More fats and oils are needed to
manufacture the war material nee
essary to win the war against the
Japs, and to fill essential civilian
needs.
Every homemaker is asked to CO.
operate in the nations fat salvage
campaign for recovery Of 100000, 900
pounds of used fats needed to make
up the national deficit. The amount
of used household fats one person
is able to collect and turn into the
local meat retailer may seem small,
but it avalanches into millions of
pounds when multiplied by millions
of homemakers, all enlisted in the
campaign.
Retail meat dealers have been
authorized to pay up to 4 cents per
pound, and two red ration points
for used household fats turned in
by homemakers. In accepting used
fats, dealers deduct the weight of
the can. Doane outlined standard
weights for the containers in which
homemakers collect used fats as:
size / (soup cam, %. ounces; size
IL (such as is used for dog food,
81 ounces; size 2 standard for
vegetables), SO ounces; size 212
Qarge or fruit cam, As ounces; size

tables, So ounces, and size 4 (fruit

OpA to Regulate All
Surplus Property Sales

All sales Of property to veterans
under the Surplus Property Boards
regulation No. 7 will be made in
accordance with OPA regulations,
according to Milton A. Holmes, re-
gional director for Smaller War
Plants Corporation.
"In no case will the price be
greater than the original cost to
the government, less an allowance
for depreciation, obsoleseence, etc., "
Holmes said.
He pointed out that SWPC will
exercise its government agency pri-
ority to buy from disposal agencies
surplus items sought by the veter-
an up to $500 in sales price.
ANY honorably discharged vet
eran desiring to obtain surplus
property for any commercial, in
dustrial. manufacturing, financial,
service, medical, dental, or legal
enterprise, with an invested capital
not over $4,000, should apply at
the SWPC office nearest the local

established"
Smaller War Plants Corporation

ing whether or not the veteran has
good chance to succeed in his
chosen venture. If the agency de-
cides he does not have a good
chance of success, it is mandatory
that SWPC explain its decision to

WAR TAKES TIN
TO WIN

Despite stimulation provided by
subsidiaries and other assistance,
production of native tin ore in the
United States and Alaska, for 1913,
amounted to only six ton," says
Terry Bannan, chairman Of the
Wayne County Tin Can Salvage
Committee. This, plus the fact
that only 20 per cent Of all cans
purchased by civilians in the past
two years has been returned for
the salvage Of their precious tin
content, has placed America in a
position where her salvage is more
important than ever as source of
tin! There is still a war to be won
and war takes tin mil
lions of tons of tin. Reconversion
in many industries increases the
need for tin here at home. Remem-
Der, tin is vital to Americas peace

NeOprene LdteT
Prices Reduced;
More for Civilians

WILMINGTON, DEL, July 90
The Rubber Chemicals Division of
E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co.
today announced price reductions
averaging thirty per cent in several
types of neoprene synthetic rubber
latex, and said that more will be
available for such civilian uses as
shoe adhesives, carriers and girdles.
The new price schedule is effec-
tive beginning with shipments leav-
ing the Deepwater, N. j., plant to-
day, just year after the last neo-
prene price reduction, posted July
Is, 1914. 1t brings the principal neo-
prene latex, known as Type ST.,
down to % cents a pound, dry
weight basis, in tank car lots, or %
cents in drums in car lots. Price
cuts on other types range from
"a to SO per cent.
Improvements in manufacturing
methods have stepped up the out
put to the point where many more
civilian requirements for latex can
now be met" the company's state
ment said. ut is expected that the
adhesives used in shoe manufac-
turing will take some of the in
creased supply, and there is also a
growing demand for it for indus
trial and household gloves, and for
elastic thread, among uses for
which are carriers, suspenders and
girdles. A quantity has also been
authorized for golf balls. One of
the most important potential uses
of latex is in foam sponge mattress
ses and car seat cushions"
Neoprene is superior to natural
rubber in its resistance to sunlight,
flame, chemicals and oxygen-agfng
and therefore has been adopted for
a great many special uses in spite
Of the fact that it has been more
expenses than natural rubber.
When the war shut off shipments
OF natural rubber from the Far
East, neoprene was one of the first
materials placed on directive ano-
cation.
The first general-purpose synthe-
tic rubber produced in this country,
neoprene was announced by the
Du Pont Company in 1881 and has
been in production since 1892. 1t
was the only synthetic rubber avail
able in latex form when Americas
supply Of natural rubber was shut
off early in the war. Neoprene latex
has been used to make meteorolog-
ical balloons, entenna balloons for
life-raft radios, foam sponge for
crash pads and other cushioning
applications in tanks and airplanes,
decontamination gloves and sur
geonS' gloves.
