states would put up two dollars

the ratio would be four state dol

nlent would require lunches to be
served without cost or at reduced

SHORTAGE" White said, "is the fact
that Uncle Sam trained our boys
in the service to drink milk. Boys
who used to turn up their noses at
a glass of the stuff now want to
drink a quart or two a day"
Healthy State
White said, however, that he
thinks it's splendid habit and
that it foreshadows healthy state
of the nation for the future.
The bumper crop of war-babies,
on the other hand, doesn't have
much, if anything to do with the
increase of milk consumption -
which throughout the nation, has
jumped to so million quarts more
per day than in pre-war years -
according to White. ''It's the
babies of World War I who are
doing the drinking" he said.
All Tired Out
And oh, yes, reason number five:
The cows are simply plumb tucker
ed out from their wartime labors.
Bessie, Flossie, and all their kim
dred outdid themselves during the
war, not only for us at home but
also for the boys overseas and our
INSTRUMENTATION nations. They de-
serve lot of credit, and even if
they do slow down a bit remember
that, unlike lot of us, they still
haven't gone on strike.
White is optimistic about the fu-
ture, however. As soon as spring
arrives in full force and the roads
clear up and the cows, rested and
contented once more, get back into
the old routine, We'll have as much
milk as we've ever had, and prob
ably good deal more, he said.
Only Middlemen
So take it easy on your milkman
for awhile. Consider that he is,
after all, only a middleman be-
tween the pasture and your front
porch, and that he no doubt likes
his glass of milk every bit as much
as you do.

Pauley has heatedly denied lckes

borrowed from the committee
memoranda which Ickes made OF
his meetings with Pauley. They
plan to have them photostated with
an eye to testing their "age.' AT
issue is whether Ickes made them

Pauley propositioned him. If they

they still have an open mind on

It has been reported that some

By ROGER w. BABsON

BABsON PARK, Fla, Feb. II.
Too many people are careless
with their money today, both in
connection with investing and
spending. Some wise boys" are
even unnecessarily borrowing
money with the idea of paying up
their mortgages with 'phoney'
money when, as, and if initiation
becomes rampant. Such policies are
the biggest kind of gambling.
Big business, which has had ex-
perience in Germany, France and
other countries that have really
suffered from initiation, will not
get caught. It has learned from sad
experience the great need of large
reserves during an imitation period.
In fact, as initiation advances, every
concern should more than proper
tionally increase its reserves.
On Cash Basis
This especially applies to small
businessmen who have not extern
sive credit facilities. They now fail
to realize that when initiation gets
well under way it will be very diff
ficult to get credit either from
banks or from wholesalers. AS
prices will then be going up with
out notice, and goods will be worth
more than money, wholesalers will
give no credits. All goods must be
bought on a strictly cash basis. This
means that everyone will need more
working capital than at present.
Wage workers also need to lay
up reserves during the next two or
three years as well as do their
employers. Systematically save a
portion of your weekly wages. Some
day you will be confronted with a
lot of unemployment. Now is the
time for you and your family to
prepare for it and lay reserve
aside in bank accounts or Victory
bonds.
Store knowledge
Don't be content to build up only
reserves. When unemployment
starts in again the least efficient
workers will be let go first. Those
who show the most interest in, and
knowledge Of, their work will be
kept and promoted. Ask your boss
to recommend some trade paper
to which you can subscribe or some
correspondence course which will
help you. Store up knowledge in
your head as well as money in the
bank.
The average retailer now is
carrying only a portion of the items
