Indiana State Police may be forced to impose a speed maximum of 55 or 50 miles per hour, the state now having no speed limit. Several states plan publicity and educational programs. North Carolina is issuing bulletins asking motorists not to drive over 45; tor vehicle division has been instruct- ed to ask for all possible saving of rubber; Maryland is preparing a pam- phlet on reconditioning tires and safe driving, and New Jersey's state defen-| se council has asked its tire rationing committee to inaugurate a statewife educational campaign.

In selling apples, potatoes, onions, | or other fruits and vepetables in the | original standard container, the legal ! measurement is made by cubic volume and not by weight. After the original | contents of the package have been | broken, however, the package must | be sold by weight and not by the | volume. This change was made by | the Legislature in 1937 in the passage | of the “Volume Bushel Bill.” Department officials stated that | throughout the State potatoes are not | being sold extensively in peck bags | which constituted the original stan- |dard containers. If these packages |are legally marked “one peck” and j contain one peck volume-measure of | potatoes they may be legally sold in | this state regardlpss .of their ight. | “in answering the inquiry of what | constitutes a legal bushel, it is ex- | plained that a package containing] [2,150.42 cubic inches, or 32 quarts of dry measure, is a legal bushel.

S. | history. The materials are for the con- |p struction of numerous new army cantonments and the enlargement | of existing ones. Army strength, down to 1,600,000 | after the demobilization of 28 to 35 year olds last fall, is due for a big | increase—at least another 1,000,000 after the next draft lottery follow- ing the February 16 registration of | men between 21 and 44. ! An estimated 24,000,000 will regis- | ter next month, and on the basis of | past experience only about 5 per if cent will be rated 1-A; that is, sub- ject to immediate call. Heretofore the army has inducted only men in good physical condition, with no de- pendents and not engaged in ‘“‘es- sential” production. However, as the need for military manpower develops, 1-A standards sands of 1-B, 2-A, and 2-B deferees by pre-war standards will be called up. For the present, the army still is placing primary emphasis on youth. The February 16 registration is ex- pected to list around 2,000,000 20-21 youngsters and the largest propor- tion of new inductees will come from this group. legistrants in the 36 to 44 group will have to be in top condition to get in the army at this time. However, big scale inductions from this age group can be expected by fall, particularly those with no dependents and with previous mili- tary service. For the present the army will take its older-age recruits from the 28 to 35 year olds who were exempted because of dependency or defense work. * » * REDTAPE BUSTER Ordnance is the haughtiest and most hide-bound branch of the army. So much so that it has been the object of much bitter private criticism by civilian defense chiefs. But there is one notable exception to this Ordnance rule. He is Wil- liam Van Antwerp Kemp, a tall, husky, dynamic engineer, who made a big success in private business and volunteered his services when the national emergency arose. Since CXavia, CGO Gad SX0AUUIULILIVLG RE vioiuw cA ecutive, he has been making his- tory, busting redtape in tradition- bound Ordnance. There are many tales of Kemp's unconventional exploits. The latest is one of the best. for a new government munition plant about to begin pro- duction, Kemp recommended a crack expert who had been loaned to the British to build a plant in England. ‘““He ought to be finished with his job over there by now,” said Kemp. “If he is, get him,” was the order. From the British, Kemp learned the expert had completed his work and available. So Kemp picked up a phone and called the state de- | partment, “1 want to talk to the guy,” wil said, ‘‘who gets guys back from Eng- land.” There was a gasp, but the operator switched Kemp to someone who asked him who he was and what he wanted. “I'm Kemp of Army Ordnance,” he said. ‘“There’s a guy in England we want to run an ammunition plant for us. Get him back here right away, will you?" Six days later the expert reported to Kemp and left for his new job. A few days later the general again summoned Kemp, asked what had been done about the expert. “It’s all taken care of, general,” said Kemp. ‘‘He’s been on the job at the plant two days.” ‘““How did you get him back here so fast?” “No trouble. I just called up the state department, asked for the guy who gets guys back here and he arranged it.” “Kemp,” said the general severe- ly, ‘““do you know who that guy in the state department was?’ “No, sir.” ‘““He was the undersecretary of state.” Note: Kemp has persistently re- fused to accept an army commis- sion. Finally, pressed by the gen- eral for the reason, he retorted: “Some day I may want to come in here and blow up. If I do, as an officer you could court-martial me. But as a civilian, all you can do is fire me. I'm remaining a civilian.” JAP SCHOOL LESSONS After three years’ probing of sub- versive activities, it takes a lot to excite Rep. Martin Dies, but the oth- \ er day the rangy Texan hit on a discovery that took his breath away. His committee has been making a sweeping inquiry of Jap fifth- | columning on the West coast, includ- ing subversive teaching in Japanese language schools located all over southern California. Investigators found that from the primary grades up students in these schools are in- doctrinated with militarism and the ideology of their Jap ancestors. # was Not Like It As Well or Better Than Any Other Brand, Retura the Unused Portion in Original Container and We Will Replace the Item Absolutely Free With Any Other Brand of the Same Grade Product We Sell, Re- gardless of Price.” QUALITY SAVES YOU MORE.
