1t goes like this: A normally
expensive piece of merchandise is
offered for very little money

housewife replies. The firms
representative comes to the home
with the merchandise, demon
strates it, and proceeds to criticize
it roundly. pointing up the merits
of a more expensive model avail
able. Or a salesman appears with
a better machine than the one
advertised in the first place.
This is not to be confused with
trading up" Mrs. Muchmore
pointed out, which is a legitimate
business practice. Trading up in
wolves the advertising of an in
expensive item in the hope that
it will bring customers to the
store who, once there, will decide
to buy a better piece of merchan-
disc without any arm twisting.
The item advertised, neverthe-
less, is definitely available.

By Josephine Lowmon

It is surprising that there are
as many happy homes, as there
are, considering how few young
women know how to cook when
they marry. It Is also amazing
how little women who have been
married for years know about food
chemistry. I think this latter pic
ture is greatly improved because
so much has been written about
the Importance of food in health
that many more women are to-
day aware in this matter. The
governments program in nutrition
during the war gave the housewife
a big boost in food knowledge.
During a war or when on a
small budget, especially when
prices are high. nutrition know
how becomes essential. Yet most
young women enter marriage with
little more knowledge than that
men like pie and steak and french
fried potatoes.
Any man. young or old, who Is
poorly nouriShed is almost certain
to be hard to live with. Meals
which provide the elements neces-
sary for health, which are served
|attractively, in a pleasant atmos-
phere. go a long way towarc
building a successful marriage.
I myself think that good cook.
are born that way. Any woman
with normal intelligence can fol.
low a good cook book and serve
fairly good meals. The really gooe
cooks cannot tell you how much
of anything they put into dish
Therefore it is probably not essen
tial for girl to know how to cool
before marriage, although I imag'
inc many romantic young hus'
bands would be glad to be savee
from the guinea pig role.
The important thing is thai
she know the daily requirement!
which she and her husband mus
have If they are to remain il
best health. The modern young
wife sometimes surpasses hel
mother in this matter, unless the
mother is very up-to-date. Much
has been discovered in recent
years about what food can do fol-
us or to us.

Why Grow Old?
To Keep Hin'Hoppy!

If your husband eats incor-
rectly, the very first year of mar
riage is the time to change his
tastes gradually. Compromise is
indicated. You can eat some oi
the foods he likes and he some OF
those you enjoy and believe in.
Three of the qualifications a
young woman should take into
marriage are good health. sense
of humor and a knowledge of food
values.

Gas Tax Revenue Rises
$4,000 Here in Month

The new gasoline tax here pro-
duced $4,000 more revenue in
August than it did in July, the
first month the scent rate was
in effect.
District Assessor James L. Mar
tin reported today that the total
figure for August was 1856. .293,
Consumption totaled Ill million
gallons - 445.312 gallons more
than that in July.
In comparison with August,
1851. consumption dropped of
339, ,596 gallons. but revenues were
still running about 100000 more
than during the same period last
year.
Assessor Martin said indications
are that consumption and revenue
may continue to pick up from an
initial setback experienced when
the 1-cent gas tax increase went
into effect last July !.

Drive Here Will Open
Next Week 10 Sell
Civil Defense Tags

A campaign to sell Civil Defense
identification tags will begin next
week.
A contract for the dog tags
was signed yesterday with the
United Equipment Co. The public
will pay so cents a tag.
The company will be paid on a
sliding scale that gives it 48.8
cents a tag for the first 10000.
Each of the next 5000 brings the
company 1873 cents a tag. With
each succeeding 1000, the price
drops cent or so, until the price
tgets down to 29.9 cents each.
Tags and chains to wear them
on will be mailed to the purchaser.
In addition, the company will fill
out a cardful of vital statistics
about each purchaser and will
send it to Civil Defense.
Civil Defense will distribute the
information on the cards under
ian elaborate filing system.
Joseph A. Kaufman, chairman
|of the Tag Committee, said the
tag and it's accompanying chain
could be purchased for SIS cents.
The work required to emboss the
metal and the work the company
will do in filling out information
forms is what raises the price, he
said.
Whatever sums Civil Defense
|gets from the sales, he added, will
be used to pay the cost of filing
the vital statistics cards.
Mr.. Kaufman said Civil De-
tense hopes to sell at least 25,0O0
tags a month once the program
lgetS started.
