 And, barring luck and rich uncles, the only way to be sure you'll have that cash IS to put aside regularly-week in and week out-some part of everything you earn.
 Millions of Americans are doing just that. They're saving steadily, regularly, automatically, with U. S. Savings Bonds!
 Yes, automatically For Uncle Sam has figured out two plans that take saving out of the hit or miss class, and make 1t easy, painless, and automatic!

Swedish Doctor |nvents Method For
Determining Mans "Rear' Age

STOCKHOLM-A very import
ant contribution towards the prob
lem of determining mans real or
physiological age, has recently
been made by Swedish doctor of
medicine, I. G. Porte. The re-
suit of his research has been
published under the title Stud
les of the arterial pulse wave,
particularly in the aorta."
With the aid of the undula-
tory theory, based on the equa-
tions given by L. Euler in 1855.
it has been possible to give a
picture of the reflection mechan-
ism of the pulse wave.
DR.. Porje divides the pulse
wave into simple sine oscillations
in the same way as sound
can be divided into single tones.
By the use of a very sensitive
piezo-electric apparatus, construc-
ted by another Swedish doctor,
Rune Elmqvist, pulse curves can
be recorded simultaneously from
one central and one peripheral
blood vessel.
In the analysis of the pulse
wave, each individual sine oscil-
lation forms unit. 1t is then
found that the fundamental oscil-
lation is very strongly reflected,
whereas the first and the sec
ond partials are transmitted with
out any reflection to speak of
This is the case with healthy
persons. The speed of the trans
mission of the first and the sec
ond partials can easily be deter
mined. 1t was found that the
higher the speed the less elastic
are the vessels and the more
advanced is the patients physi-
illogical age. The blood vessels
are more sclerosed, which in its
turn means a heavier load on the
heart, which has to pump out the
blood.
The blood volume that the heart
throws out into the aorta can be
determined from the pulse curves
and the blood pressure by means
of wave equations. In persons

UndiIuted Type Of
''Grapes Of Wrath"
Wanted In NORWAY

OSLO.-Oslo movie-goers who
have long awaited the Norwegian
prem er of John Steinbeck's
Grapes of Wrath were disap-
pointed last week when the an
nounced first showing of the
famous American film was can
celled by the Oslo authorities. This
action was taken in response to a
surprise last-minute American de-
mand that the film could not be
screened in Norway unless an
opening and closing supplementary
next were added to the regular
script.
The film which is generally re-
garied as a scathing denunciation
of certain social and economic
conditions which existed in the
United States during the depres-
sion period was to be tempered
by two explanatory pars =.
The Introductory explana .,re-
ceding the film was to fully
point out that incongruitA to be
highlighted were due to natural
catastrophies and disasters caused
by unavoidable economic factors"
The American demand further
stipulated that the film was to be
followed by the explanation that
the factors attacked in the por-
trayal had now been corrected.
Oslo movie authorities refused
to comply with these demands,
and at the present time Grapes
of Wrath" is no closer to the Oslo
screen than it has ever been. The
American Embassy in Oslo as
serted in response to press in
quiry that these demands do not
originate with official sources and
that the matter concerns only the
private producer and distributing
companies involved.

Norway Price Control
Stern But Effective

OSLO. - Like the Canadian
Mounted Police, Norwegian price
control officers work hard to get
their man. Some indication of the
relentless search for black mar
keteers is contained in the follow
ing Oslo item. A price administra-
ton court recently fined a man $50
Kr. for purchasing 80 lbs. of goat
cheese on the black market in
1914. Another young lady charged
with selling a rabbit fur coat for
1900 Kr. was fined 400 Kr., an
other 900 Kr. was confiscated, and
an additional so Kr, was levied in
court costs.
This firm policy has shown
results, however. International
Labor Review figures show that
Norway, though occupied by the
enemy has succeeded in keep
ing prices down more successfully
than many countries not touched
by the war. The following figures
represent general price increase
percentages in the general cost of
living between 1887 and late 1916:
Canada 20; Great Britain and
North Ireland 80; United States

of $500 taxis and trucks are to be
imported during l947 The total
figure includes 800 bus chassis,
700 taxis, and $500 trucks. Heavy

Though a good percentage Of
these deliveries viii come from

Thar Is Gold In
EN- Thar Fjords

The most harassed and
burned spot in all Norway dur
ing the German occupation was
the Finmark district far to the
North. The other day a man
came down to Oslo from that
northern district, and he wore
ring of gold which he claims
has been made from gold
washed out of a small rivulet
that empties into the Porsanger
Fjord.
With a comrade he was fish
ing along the river and as they
had heard rumors of gold in
these parts they sat down to
wash the river mud in the
good old California or Alaska
fashion. They claim that in
three hours they had washed
enough gold to make a ring.
The washing was done in a

Swedish Vessel
Installing New
Loading System

STOCKHOLM. - The Gotland
Shipping Company, maintaining
regular traffic between the island
of Gotland and the mainland, has
recently ordered new vessel of
$50 tons DIV. from the Lindhol-.
men shipyard in Gothenburg.
The design of the new vessel has
been specially influenced by a
new and rationalized system for
loading, which has been evolved
after careful studies of various
improved cargo handling methods
in the USA and Europe. Accord
ing to this system the cargo will
be loaded on large size dollies
(loading platforms on small
wheels) and transported on the
dock by means of trucks with n.y.
draulic lifts.
The dollies are designed in such
a way that they can be trans
ferred directly from the ship to
railway cars and from these to
the warehouses. The load is kept
on the dollies by means of nets.
With this system, four re-loading
processes can be eliminated This
is expected to result in a reduc-
ton of loading and discharging
time by at least 80 per cent.

cate that in most instances the
Ambassadors and Ministers them
selves will be making the trip. It
is reported that u. S. Ambassa-
dor to Norway Charles Ulrick Bay
will be among them.
According to plan, the party
will board the new coastal express
ship "Alte Jarl" in the west-coast
port of Trondheim from where it
will leave on its maiden voyage
to Svolvaer in the Lofoten group.
The party will reach the islands
at the peak of the cod fishing
season where the present catch is
now setting an all-time record
with over 10000 men employed.
Coast Guard vessels will trans
port the party to the fishing area
and visits will be paid to the fish
ing centers of Stamsund and Hen
ningsvaer. The group will return
to Oslo via Narvik and Stockholm.

Hank Says He Told
Pirates From Start
He WouIdn' Play
By the Asseeioisd Press

NEW YORK, F'eD. lZ.-NoW InaL
one phase of the Hank Greenberg
mystery has been cleared up, base
ball fans today were wondering
what step the big slugger would
take next.
The 36-year-old veteran disclosed
for the first time yesterday that
he had informed the Pittsburgh
management from the start that he
did not want to play with the
National League club.
Hank explained in an interview
that he had maintained public
silence on the matter at the express
request of the Pittsburgh manage
ment and said it was only the angry
reaction of Pirate fans to his an
nouncement of Sunday that made
him open up.
Agreed to Reconsider.
On Sunday, three weeks and a
day after he was stunned by his
sudden sale by Detroit to the Pirates,
the popular first basemen- -outfelder
announced that he was considering
retirement.
Greenberg said yesterday he had
no advance knowledge of his sale
to Pittsburgh, and that upset him
greatly. He felt he should have
been notified of the deal in advance
instead of learning of 1t via the
radio.
Greenberg said he told the Pirates
that he would not play for them,
but at their behest agreed to re-
consider and keep his decision pri-
vate. The Pirates were hopeful that
he might change his mind, but not
even a reported $85, 1000 Offers 900
more than Babe Ruth's record wage
could make him do so.
The major leagues home run king
of 1916 said "The Pirates asked me
to come to Pittsburgh last Sunday
for conference. I felt that if I at
tended such a conference and did
not sign a contract, and later that
day went to the Pittsburgh baseball
writer's dinner, the fans would be
led to believe that I had signed any
way ...
Treated Fairly by Pirates.
Rather than mislead the fans" !"
he said, 81 decided to stay in New
York and make that Sunday an
nouncemert."
Greenberg wanted it understood
that Frank Mckinney, Pirate presi-
dent, and Roy Hamey, general man
ager, had treated him very fairly
and he had the utmost regard for
them.
IT want to say now that I have
the highest regard for the Pitts
burgh management and I dent
want to do anything to antagonize
our relationship, whether I ever play
for Pittsburgh or not"
Both Mckinney and Hamey con-
firned Greenberg's statement that
he had notified them of his wish
to retire from the active playing
ranks

England has changed its
cricket rules-for the first time
since 1888.
This playful news comes today
from the National Geographic
Society, which has gathered up
some tidbits on where and when
some of our games were spawned.
Take cricket.
It has been played in Great
Britain for more than 600 years.
Over here, football and basket
ball rules are tinkered with
annually.
But change the game of
cricket? No, the unimpulsive
English figured that what was
good enough for. great-great-
great great great grandfather
was good enough for them. So
for 159 years, no changes.
The changes?
Well, one has something to do
with when a wicket IS down"
the other change, equally drastic,
is that at the request of either
captain the "over" of a match
will be played right out. Isn't
that exciting?
Now take tennis. Tennis started
in France, but 1t had jumped the
Channel to England by the 14th
century. Chaucer wrote, "but

could pleyen racket to and fro.
