American Housewives Que.

OF Scarce Essentials
TISSUE DISAPPEARS
Fifty Per Cent OF Meat
Markets In Southern Cali
fornia Close Doors
BY The Associated Press

The spectacle of American
housewives queuing up in
lengthening lines for meat
and other scarce living es-
sentials, a rare sight during
the war, was recorded yester-
day in mountaineering re-
ports from II cities.
A survey by The Associated
Press showed more and more
shortage-ridden purchasers were
operating by a sort of neighbor-
hood "bush telegraph" in many
areas.
Concerned. but frequently vain
rushes on stores having meat were
reported as commonplace, but
growing line-ups were listed also
for soap, sugar, shortening and
even toilet tissue. Seventeen cities
placed this item at or near the
top of their scarcities:
simultaneously, a dispatch from
London said the queues before
food shops still were long there, as
during the war. It reported that
there appeared to be no prospect of
abolition Of the rationing system
designed to spread the individual
allotment of 27 cents worth of fresh
meat equally among the rich and
poor.
The 47-city survey here showed
that:

STUDY MINIMIZES
EROSION DANGER
Engineers Say No Immedi-
ate Threat To Fl. Fisher
After Tour

There is no immediate danger"
of an ocean break-through at his
toric Fort Fisher.
This was the decision reached
yesterday by Lieut.. Col. W. B.
stelzenmuller and D. F. Horton OF
the U. S. Army Engineers Beach
Erosion board after making an In
spection Of the Civil War battle
site.
The inspection was made at the
request of Fort Fisher property
owners who feared that the ocean
might crack through at a spot at
the end Of the hard-paved road
where the famous battle monu-
ment stands.
Survey Tour
Louis B. Orreu, one Of the Fort
Fisher property owners, and T. J.
Hewitt, acting district U. S. Army
Engineer, accompanied the two
Beach Erosion board officials on
the survey tour.
Earlier in the day the officials,
Hewitt, and Orrell conferred with
W. T. Riley. of the North Carolina
Department of Conservation and
Development, on futurt beach ero-
sion projects and the amount OF
State and Federal funds needed to
finance them.
1t was pointed out that no such
projects are in the immediate off
ing and that if and when any are
needed it will take surveys by the
Army Engineers and congressional
appropriations to get them under
taken.

BRITAIN AND THE AMERICAN
DILEMMA

AS M. Truman and Mr.. Attlee
chide one another about Palestine,
it would be well if responsible
men on both sides of the Atlantic
looked beneath the surface and
resolved to think seriously about
British-American relations rather
than to react irritably. For this I'M
fortunate incident is only one
among many symptoms which
should make us relize-especially
those who have long believed in and
worked fo- the partnership OF the
English-speaking peoples-that the
terms and conditions of that part

TO THE EXTENT that they
destroy harmful insects, moles
are beneficial to the farmer, but
they are underground enemies Of
well-kept lawns.
In digging their underground
hunting paths, moles do consider
able damage by heaving up the
soil, which causes the grass TO
dry out quickly.
When a mole Is living in a
lawn, 1t cannot conceal evidence
of its presence. Ridges or con-
spicuous mounds plainly indicate
the runways, as illustrated in the
accompanying Garden-Graph.
There are several ways to kin
or drive moles away. The most
modern way to kill moles is by
the use of poison gas.
The procedure Is as follows:

Place a teaspoonfui Of carbon bi

these holes, being careful to close
the openings without tamping
them down. AS both these sub
stances are poisonous and the
first mentioned inflammable, care
must be used in handling.
Placing stor-beans in the
runs will also poison either moles
or mice which eat them.
There are several types OF ef-
fective mole traps on the market
which can be useful to catch
them.
After one is certain that moles
have been killed, iron out the
