THE MERRY MONTH or MAY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

There never was a winter
 That could suppress the Springtime lay, The old old familiar theme
 When along comes the May Who Is there among us
 That doesn't love to see The first patch of violets
 Wherever they may be. May was ever a popular first
 In flowers andNeverything, May has lways made the grade,
 That's why the poets sing About her lovely carpet of green,
 Apple blossoms sweet, The gangs of noisy youngsters
 Playing marbles in the street Great stretches of woodland
 Blossoming hedges fine, Lilacs sweet and dogwood
 And curtains on the line. Has there ever been a Spring
 When we were not happy to say Let's plant seeds and hoe a row
 In the merry merry month of May

washington, Oct. 24-(UP)-Our Government wraps stuff up in red tape.
 it uses 115,OS0 spools of red tape a year, Each spool holds 72 yards. That IS considerable red tape. It is more than 24,O00,O00 feet. It is nearly 5000 miles.
 This red tape is made of cotton with a linen finish and is five six teenths of an inch wide. If the width varies more than one thirty second of an inch, the Government rejects it. The official red tape specifications are rigid.
 Color Guaranteed
 The weave must be straight, the number of warp threads must be at least 19. Until Feb. IT, 1941, the color had to be guaranteed not to run, crack, or fade. Upon that date the scientists in charge of red tape decided that there was no red tape on earth which, under certain con- ditionS, would not fade.
 They amended the red tape reg Glations to say that it should not fade when washed in water heated to 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
 The Governments red tape must have a tensile strength of 25 pounds per square inch when tested upon machine with jaws one inch wide and one inch apart. No red tape may be tested except under normal atmosphereic conditions.
 This red tape of standard quality cost the Government before the war 21 cents a spool. There has been imitation since then in the red tape martS. Last red tape the Gov ernment bought cost 31 cents a spool.
 Simple To Get It
 That brings the total red tape bill for this year to $45,650.
 Any Federal Bureau in need ot red tape need go through 8 mini mum of red tape to get it. It sim ply sends 8 requiSition with one carbon copy to the nearest of Il storehouses operated by the pro- curement division of the Treasury Department. It gets more red tape immediately.

 The custodian of the sample room said he would look for his cotton red tape sample. He con- suited his ledgers and inspected his bins, but he could not find it. He seemed embarrassed. Temporarily the sample room was out of red tape. He said he believed, however, that there was plenty of red tape in the warehouse.
 Warehouse Has Everything
 This warehouse is four floors high, fire proof, and jammed with writing paper, waste baskets, and among other things, water coolers. It also contains an adequate supply of red tape. The foreman said the demand for 1t is steady.

.Three-fourths Of Savings Plan
 Accounts Out

St. Louis, Oct M-(UP)- Nearly .three-fourths of those participating in the govern ment's payroll savings plan for Series E bonds during the war have dropped out and since Jan. 1 sales of the bonds have fallen $500, 1000, ,000 short of redemptions.
 Secretary of the Treasury John w. Snyder today told a savings bond rally, however, that this record is remarkably good" in view of predictions about the flood of savmgs bond redemp- tions which would follow the end of the war"
 Snyder said participants in the savings plan have dropped from a peak of 27,0o0,000 to 7,500,000 but that the average deduction has remained the same at $18.75 month.
 He said government accounts "are now more balanced on 8 cash basis" and the proceeds from savings bonds are used to combat imitation by making possible the retirement of ad- ditional amounts of bank debt. !"

Permanent Auto Tags
For State Assured

Governor Herbert r. O'Conor
announced recently that perman-
ent automobile registration tags
for motor vehicles in the State
are assured. The governor stat
ed that it was intended to inaug
urate this system a few years
ago but the shortage of metals,
etc. during the war delayed the
plan.
He further states that the state
will save about 100000 a year
after the first year for instead of
manufacturing two sets of tags
each year it will only be necessary
to stamp out the date plates in
the years to follow. Under the
new system every motorist will
retain his regular number and will
always be able to identify his own
car when approaching either from
the front or the rear (the two
plate system to be used). AS the
governor. says 81 am sure tae
adoption of permanent registra-
tion will be of benefit to the pub
lie and every motorist will be able
to become quite familiar with his
own number, a thing he has not
had time to do in years"
