Interesting Bits Of
Business In U. S.i
Department store sales on a na
tionwide basis have settled into a
(airly steady pace, at five per cent
ahead of last year. That's In dollar
volume; in volume of goods moved,
this year is substantially behind the
'41 level . . . The Public Administra
tion Clearing House reports that
state gas tax collections for May
dropped B per cent for the nation as
a whole, and 14 per cent in the 17
eastern "rationed" states. In June
the decline was much sharper, 23
per cent in four rationed states and
IS per cent in a 13-states region em
bracing 9 non-rationed states ... A
Philadelphian is reported to have
taken out a patent on the name "Vic
tory" as applied to bicycles, hoping
to collect a 5-cent royalty on every
one of the 750,000 allowed to be made
this year, which would mean a neat
$37,500?but the manufacturing com
panies just decided to do without the
name rather than ante up that nickel
per copy.

"MEALS IN THE OPEN"
Place: In the woods, garden, near
a cool stream or the beach.
Time: When life looks dull.
Persons: Guests and your family.
To break the monotony of routine
at mealtime, let's dine in as many
different places this summer as we
can. It is a form of relaxation that
our family and friends need, espec
ially this year when the stress and
strain of war and all of its compli
cations are certainly upon us. Our
greatest job is to help keep up the
morale of our nation and like char
ity?morale building begins at home.
Just a little bit of informality, rest
in the cool breeze, sociability with
friends, and fun-making will renew
your good spirits for another day.
"Picnicking perks up listless ap
-petttes, and revives drooping spir
its. It's a good summer habit."

FOODS sail MEALS
THE good old American custom of puffing up
? food for the Winter is being practiced through
out the land this Summer and this Autumn. No
doubt you, too, will be fitting your pantry shelves
while orchard and field crops are plentiful.
That is "Patriotic Hoarding" and we must not
forget that the home-front army also travels on
its stomach.
We must not forget, too, that it is wasteful to
attempt to can fruits and vegetables by improper
methods. We must conserve sugar by using sub
stitutes when possible.
Our Home Economists will gladly provide you
with many canning suggestions incorporating su
gar substitutes ... and some berries can be put
up in natural juices without sugar.
If you are one of those fortunate women who
have an Electric Range you already know how
cool canning can be the electric way.
Food is a munition of war. Buy it right. Cook
it right. Can it right.
