a La The fourth annual convention of the Congress of Industrial Organiza tion, to be held at Detroit, November 17, is expected to endene the foreign and defense policies of President Roosevelt. PROSECUTION Prosecution under the Anti-trust laws will be instituted "priority profiteers." Industrial action has been taken against a number of brokers, accused of charging exorbi tant prices for chemicals essential to the manufacture of drugs, paint, textiles, dyes and plastics. The brok ers are accused of baying and storing them in warehouses, at tempting to "corner" the market. BRITISH SHIPS Three British battleships,-one cruiser and eight other vessels have been repaired or serviced at Ameri can ports, according to the Navy De partment. In addition, one battleship and eleven other vessels, are now in American yards for repairs. COMBAT PLANES The United States Army Air Corps is now receiving new combat ships from the factories at the rate of a squadron, usually twelve to twenty - five planes, every other day. URUGUAYAN BASE Uruguay, using $17,500,000 obtain ed from the United States, is to be gin construction of a huge naval air base on the Atlantic Coast. The base will be under Uruguayan sovereignty but would be available to the United States under a pledge and in accord ance with the Havana Conference of 1940. Brazil, whose border runs near the site, has agreed to the Uruguay an proposal. ORDINANCE The $50,000,000 ordinance works at Radford, Virginia, is now operating at full blast and will socm attain a maximum production of 300,000 pounds of smokeless powder daily. ? Construction of the plant was begun in September, 1940, and initial pro- i duction started March 14, 1941. Until j that time, the total powder produc tion of the nation was 50,000 pounds daily. "MILD INFLATION" , | The country is now in a state of < "mild inflation," according to Leon < Henderson, director of the Office of i Price Administration, who reports that basic commodity prices have r ? " ? . * . .. - . \ risen seventeen per cent in the put year. V CONVOYS : Since the "shoot on sight" order was issued to the Navy, it has bean revealed that American war vessels are convoying merchant ships as one of the methods necessary to protect all shipping in our defense areas. SOCIAL SECURITY fpj A proposal to extend the Social! Act to include domestic servants and farm hands is being considered by Congress. The measure is regarded as an anti-inflationary device. PRICES-WAGES Government economists report that food prices and the cost of living have reached their highest point in ten years but accompanying increas es in weekly earnings of factory workers have more than kept pace with climbing prices. i v COTTON Increases in the price of American cotton in the past few months have exports to a virtual standstill Ac cordingly, the Department of Agri culture has inaugurated a new ex port subsidy program, designed to enable American cotton to compete j with foreign cotton in world markets. The program is expected to facilitate the export of approximateny 1,500, 000 hales a year. AERIAL INFANTRY The Army will soon begin to train its first "infantry air-borne battal ion," a complete ground-fighting unit of 500 men, who will be transported fantrymen ' with equipment. The battalion will also have large freight transports to carry weapons. Small trucks, machine-guns, field guns, mo torcycnes and bicycles will also be in cluded in the battalion's equipment. STRATEGIC MATERIALS Gradually, the United States is making progress in its effort to cop- < per and manganese and within this < hemisphere. An agreement with Peru will give the United States the 1 entire supply of copper, magnesium * and lead in that country. Negotia- 1 tions are also under way with Bo- 1 livia for the tungsten and tin, with Chile for copper and manganese and with Argentina for tungsten. Mexico < and Brazil have agreed to export 1 strategic materials to this country ^ and to keep them from going to Ger- * many, Italy or Japan. a NAVAL ACADEMY v a The dormitory at the Naval Acade- * my - at Annapolis has been greatly i enlarged and a new recitation hall t eompleted in order to take iare of an increased number of midshipmen. NURSES i More than 10,000 nurses are need- i id for the Army None Corps, ac cording to the War Department, rhere are now-5,943 nurses on the ist but more are needed to meet the luthorized quota to take care of rainees and to provide for replace nents. FOOD A national community food prep jration program is being- conducted >y the Department of Agriculture, vhich expects to set up food process hg units in 2,300, counties in 46 rtates. Nutrition specialists, school luperintendents, local REA system nanagers and directors are now hold ng conferences to procure plans for he program. HOSPITALS There are 1,282,785 beds available n 9,614 institutions for medical care a the United States, according to a Census Bureau report based on 1989. Hospital facilities, however, are be low the minimum requirements set up in 1933 by the Committee on the Cost of Medical Care. To meet the requirements, the nation will have to build 2,000 mote 170-bed hospitals. FARM Consumer demand for farm pro ducts is still increasing', although less rapidly than in the early , part of this year. The Department of Ag riculture says "that marketings are expected to reach ? $10,000,000^000 as compared with $8,304,000,000 last year. The increase, however, ia off set in part by higher prices of goods and services purchased by farmers. SCHOOL LUNCHES The WPA nation-wide school luhchj program expects to serve more noon day lunches during the present school year than last year, when 200,000,000 meals were served to 2,000,000 srhool children. "INADVISABLE? Because President Roosevelt thought an envestigation of Japanese espionage would be "inadvisable at this time," the proposed investiga tion has been postponed. WASTE PAPER The national wfaste paper salvage campaign has been developing fof about a month and last week, 1,500, 000 Boy Scouts were askejl to aid local waste paper collection drives. HOUSING ;. Something like 275 areas have been designated as defence areas mad pri ority assistance will be given con tractors engaged in building housing We belong to the medium class? per family unit or rent for not more than $50 a month. .*/' ?. l ?' i* ' ? iii.i. ? .

Tt<^e??t agriculture has agreed to tackle the PSMBrtfijg EliiBni just about & fbdds by approibaatidy tare agency, led by State <jj$egsh')Ex tenaion and AA^-meh, started this week a campaign which will include visits to every farm in thestate. The purpose sof the farm visits will be to outline production needs to every farmer, analyse each farm's land aril equipment and ;thep to give the farm-: er a concrete 1942 plan under which the farm'a food production can be expanded wiahout excessive expense to the farmer.^; Other "basic" food commodities which Tar Had producers will be staked to "bear down on," Mr. Floyd adds, are beef and pork. North Caro lina farmere have never produced sufficient supplies of milk, eggs, poultry, beef or pork to feed their own stated population. "That mhkes the heed for increases doubly im portant," says the AAA leader. "The 1942 food drive la strictly a voluntary proposition," Mr. Floyd de clares, "and farmers will be asked to cooperate with the'plan only after they have been shown why increases are needed jmd how their prices will be protected through the Summer, of 1943 by government buying." .Plowing Under Stalks Prevents Insect Hordes Flowing under cotton arid tobacco stalks is a simple, effective means of combatting hordes of insect pests that will attack these two major cash crops next year, says J. 0. Rowell, extension entomologist of N. C. State College. Many tobacco stalks have, already; been killed but those growers who stiir havek stalks "growing in the fields should act immediately in destroying them. , . Rowell said tobacco stalks deyelop suckers, which furnish a food supply for large numbers of flea heetles, horn worms, biJid worms, and other destructive pests until frost ? . i If the development of these suck ers is prevented, must of the insects will starve- to death or will go into winter hibernation so weak they can not emerge the following spring and lay eggs for the 1942 crop of pests. 0 good cover crop should follow the stalk plowing. Cotton farmers, now sending their lint to market, should take the same precautions, the State College special ist said. Every effort should be made to pick the cotton as soon as possi ble, and then destroy all stalks with a good, stalk cutter. Then the land should be plowed, disced, and sown to a'winter cover crof>. a: This procedure will prevent the late development of boH weevils, and will do more than any other one thing to insure^ fewer weevils In 1942. It is one of the simplest methods of weevil control Especialljr ^ ^thiB important this fall, since weevils staged'ohe of their biggest attacks in years on the 1941 cotton; crop. ; BAMBOO The tropical bamboo tree If the most versatile of att";worl(^:piards, iturei. clothes, baalwta, containers* bridges, pipes, cable, pap^ qwrir ments and other articles, I' iA" v .

Both are long bobs, but eacl has been treated differently. Th< blonde prefers curls and a broker hair line with front and side pom padours. She shows her ears find sets off the cluster of back curb with brilliant earrings. Much simpler Is the smooth bar monized style worn by the brunette, Although she, too, has a long bob, she prefers tucking it up softly In a roll, that follows the one she Wears in front ,*? Although the color of these two lovely heads is different and the hair stylings are quite unalike, yet they have several virtues in com mon?the shining lustrous - cleanli ness that only good and frequent ? 1 v shampoos can impart These mod* r els have had their hair sham* i pooed with the new Improved > special Drene, now on the market, i and which has hair conditioner add ? ed. The hair stylist who created 1 these coiffures used the new Drene i not only because it deans the scalp and hair so thorough^ and adds 33% more lustre, but also because . with the addition of the recently , perfected hair conditioner, it leaves t the hair silkier than ever before, and more manageable. With coiffures for the new sea son so varied and complicated, and hats accenting and htghHgi>?ng the hair, feminine locks must bear the closest scrutiny and come out with flying colors for women who wish to be smart and In good taste. -I HERE'S HOW YOU CAN HELP by ?
