The 2,000 English women employed in lumbering are called "lumber jilla" All you can accomplish by tooting your own horn is running down your batteries. — The R. A. F. recently spilled 10,000 tons of bombs on Germany in 10 night air raids. Gasoline used in vmnecoocary driving last year would have filled 1,000,000 tank cars. The new nickel will be made with no nickle in it and with scarcely any purchasing power in it. Of 10 average industrial workers, 7 drive their autos, 2 use public transportation, and one walks. Last year the average wage earner, driving for necessary purposes, made 385 trips covering 3,782 miles. Travel by passenger autofi in 1940 was about 7 times the mileage of all other means of transportation combined. If every family in the U. S. returned ten pennies to circulation, the more than 1,000 tons of copper needed to replace them could go to make war'weapons. Were sportsmen, skeet shooters and other marksmen bo turn in all their discharged shells and" cartridges, they would add more tlufti 2,000 tons of war metals to the national scrap pile. ■ The tire on a wheel only % inch out of line drags sideways 87 feet to the mile, grinding off rubber. Car owners may lose up to 60 per cent of tire mileage that way. In 1941, 77 i«vv cent of all auto trips were for "necessary purposes," let "unnecessary" driving accounted for more than 65 billion road miles of travel and consumed more , than four billion gallons of gasoline x About 2,300 U. S. cities with a total population of 1V4 million depend on private cars because they have no transit systems and 64,000 communities, lacking railroad flacilities, depend on tracks and buses.

Kudzu 'Rescues' Farmers As Other Hay Crops Fail Kudzu, a plant which was wed principally as a porch vine until a few yeare ago, came the rescue of North Carolina farmers this year when other hay trope wen rained by rains in July and August. "The 1942 season was not very favorable for moat hay crops," reports E. H. Meacham, Extension soil cooservasiohist of N. C. State College. "Wet weather during the summer ruined many tons of - hay before it could be properly cured. Such was not the case with kudzu." ' Farmers began planting kudzu as a soil erosion-control crop a few yean ago. . Now the" plant covers many hundreds of acres of land that formerly laid bare to the beat <gf the rain and the wind. Then the palatability of kudzu as a nutritious hay crop was learned. "Kudzu is easy to feed and la well liked by livestock," reports the Ex A WEEK OF THE WAR (Continnad tram page 1) commodities, amounted to $116 million, compared with the August total of |83 million. The Department ia now buying 17 hey foodstuffs every week and 11 others every two weeks. The Office of Price Administration -roled that after next January -SI, all motorists holding a mileage rationing books must have their-tins inspected every four months find those receiving books allowing them supplemental mileage must have their tires inspected every two months. Original inspections of tires on all pasMnger can must be made between December 1 and January Si, while commercial vehicle tins, which must be inspected every two months or every 6,000 miles, whichever comes first, may be cheeked any time after November 15. Price Administrator Henderson set November 9 as registration; day for gasoline mtioning in the States where rationing is not already in effect, while motorists in the present rationing area must file a tire inspection certificate with their local rationing boards by November 22: Car owners in the latter area must the aerial numbers of all their and if there are more than five per car, the owner will be denied gasoline ration books until he has disposed of the extra tires. Mr. Henderson said the Government already has started to purchase from car owners all new or used tires in excess of five per automobile. The defense supplies Corporation, which has advanced 1160,000,000 for 'the program, has designated 160 warehouses throughout the Country as delivery potato and the 23,000 offices of the railway express agency will collect the tires and bring them to the warehouses. The OP A said war ration sugar stamp No. 9 will be good for the purchase of three pounds of sugar between November 1 and December 15. The suga* allotments for institutional "and industrial users for November and December were set at 60 and 70 percent, respectively, of the tagar base established by them. Maximum Price*. A specific price ceiling for wom Rstioning. en's rayon hose will be issued soon, the OPA said, and in the meantime, buyers N5 should carefully compare prices tilth those of last March to make certain they are not being: overcharged. "There is no excuse for any increase in prices of rayon hosiery," The Office said. The OPA placed dried eggs under price control at the highest levels at which distributors did business during the September 28-October 2 base period. The office also set up a method or retail dealers to determine their ceiling prices for fresh grapefruit... , Stabilisation of Wages. Director Byrnes of the Office of Economic Stabilisa tion said the War Labor" Board will regulate all salaries under $3,000 and those up to [$6,000 which- are covered in wage agreements, fie said the Treasury Department is preparing regulations for salaries of more than $3,000 other than those handled by the Board as part of wage regulations. The WLB ruled individual wage adjustments may now be made by employers without prior board approval providing they are "incident to the application of the terms of an established wage agreement or to establish wage rate schedules covering the work assignments of employee^" and are made as the result of certain established practices.
