mar or oarly autumn before the average motorist can walk Into his favorite store and buy his favorite tiros. Wise car owners will continue to be very careful of the tires on their cars—o Disabled veterans back on the job in America's factories are producing uh much as able-bodied workers. They are absent from work teas; they have fewer accl--1 dents, and by and large are an good and often belter than the physically unimpaired. These are ' the conclusions of industry's perI , sonn-1 specialists, outlined at a recent misting in Pittsburgh of ths ' Industrial Hygiene Foundation. O—V According to government officials the United States will require a fifty billion dollar budget for the I fiscal year 1947 Unless they can show actual need for such a vast amount it will not be popular.

Yes, they are straightshooters in every sense of the phrase, who represent the mightiest ally the forces of law and order have ever bad. And the irony of it: G-Man Hoover hus received medals from several foreign nat-ions-'but none from the U.

A Cleveland woman, Huth Schrader, has opened a shirt-trading center in an office building. Conducting a general j ■ i H inx_JAM£l&!' suddenly realized she was spending Increasing time making over shirts for returned Qi's Some had lost weight, some gained It. Finding the supply of new shirts short in stores, they took their, old ones in for remodeling. It occurred to Miss Schrader that It would be simpler for everyone If these men exchanged their shirts, sb<- to manage the buying and selling, retaining a small percentage for her trouble and storage. Miss Schrader’s life is an example of what the last few decades have done to small businesses. Going so the big city from a small town after World War 1. she becam** a successful office executive, only to lose her Job and all chance at a similar one wtth the depression. With her savings she opened g JtoAfery shop and did so well site
