BLACK MAEKET Must Go "A restriction on tetra-ethyl lead in civilian gasolihe makes it imperative that the black market In gasoline coupons be stamped out." A. Clarke Bedford, Chair man of the Petroleum Industry Committee on Rationing for Dis trict One, comprising Atlantic Seaboard states, said today, point ing out the significance of Pet roleum Administrator Ickes' ord er cutting premium gasoline about 60% during forthcoming months. Bedford pointed out that "this CMOline is a significant indica tion of the tremendous demands of the armed forces for gasoline. A vital war product, premium gasoline is required by tanks and other mobile equipment used by the army. The American motorist Is undoubtedly more than willing to make this wartime sacrifice by switching to regular grade and releasing equivalent supplies of tetra-ethyl lead to the armed forces." He also said, "It is im perative for the motorist to do even more ? and that is, to con fine his driving to the coupons issued to him by the ration board and thereby kill the black market operations in gasoline coupons which are actually diverting to the chiselers gasoline needed for necessary war workers." He urged motorists to follow the petroleum industry's four point anti-black market program. The points direct car owners to: 1. Apply only for rations need ed for essential driving. 2. Write license numbers and state on the face of each ration coupon. 3. Refuse gasoline without sur rendering coupons. 4. Refuse to buy or accept gaso line coupons from others. MRS. DOROTHY C.

ANSWER: The agronomists say that there is one-fifth more protein in early-cut hay because more leaves are saved at the right stage. If the green color of the leaves is maintained in the curing process, the vitamin con-! tent is much higher, according to State College specialists. Not on ly is much of the hay cut too late but it is also left in the field too long after cutting, they point out.
