6000 CORK BET

Portuguese Supply May Be Cut Off, and Nothing Is Done About Brazil.

By ALLEN HADEN ERR a BUENOS AIRES, July 19 (Via Clipper).—While supplies of cork from Portugal to insulate Army camps, pad tanks and line tin helmets, are likely to be interrupted at any minute, 10,000,000 tons of cork are available in untouched forests in Brazil—and nothing is being done to bring it to market. Cork is an essential raw material for defense purposes and in peace time the United States imports it from Spain and Portugal. Today Portugal is the only exporter.

BUFFALO, Aug. 6.—The dead but recent past, before the war became a holy thing for American Communists, will be dragged up next in the family row of the United Automobile Workers who are beginning to hate one another like brothers. Right. wing leaders of the union,

who themselves were being denounced as Communists up and down the land a few years ago, will present to the union convention their version of what happened before everything went black at the North American Aviation strike two months ago, as proof that this unhappy affair, in which the Army

CUT PRICE

Muncie Is Upset Over Rate the Barbers Charge Bald-Headed Men

By FRAN

THERE'S QUITE a controversy in Muncie regarding the price barbers charge to cut the hair of bald-headed customers. Some believe it's unfair to charge full price to.have a few strands

of hair clipped, when the bushy for the same rate.

Township Trustee John Kineer, who is reputed to have one of the

highest foreheads in the county, says he has been negotiating the matter with his barber for some time. : He said the barber even threatened to raise the price. The barber complained: “It's getting so I have to spend half my time hunt ing for the hair before I can find any to cut; I should get paid for my time.” os ” Mrs. Ray Butterworth of Evansville, while riding with her husband and some friends, noticed that the car windows were a bit dusty. She turned to her husband and asked: “Ray, when are you going to wash this car?” Then she lapsed into embarrassed silence, for she remembered the car belonged to the friends and that she and her husband were merely riding as guests.

FOR A TWO-YEAR-OLD girl, Shannon Lee Remington of Evansville has had more than her share of spills. Six weeks ago she tumbled down 22 steps and wound up with a pair of black eyes. The other day, her birthday, she was on the second story porch at her home watching some rahbits in the back yard. She wandered too near the railing and plunged 20 feet below to the concrete. A clothesline broke her fall and she escaped with a few scratches.

Ancient trees line the roads. The plant has the appearance of a college campus; its roots go deep into the past. Frankford covers 96 acres. The shell-loading plant at Ravenna, O, which was unbroken farm land last | September, covers 21,000 acres—35 ‘square miles. The smokeless-powder land bag-loading plant at Charlestown, Ind, is about half as big.

Ancient and Modern

The Frankford and Springfield (Mass) arsenals are steeped in American history—and look it. Ravenna and Charlestown are raw and big and sprawling. Bulldozers have ripped away farms and homes and stores and hills and valleys. Behind them have come carpenters fo erect untold square-feet of prefabricated forms, and concrete mixers that swallow truckloads of materials at a gulp and spew out a whole wall in minutes. To the old plants which were running when a cannon was fired with a match have been coming many of the experts who are building the great new arsenals for mass production. For in the old ivycovered, shady, grass-surrounded arsenals Uncle Sam was keeping alive the science of weapons during the years when Congress wouldn's give money for their manufacture.

Tests Are Exacting

Today these veteran arsenals are [training the engineers and super{visory forces of such companies as |Bendix and National Cash Register |so that they can turn out small farms and ammunition in bigger and more streamlined plants.

Frankford tests them under a big steel arm, like a big ‘sledge hammer for two solid hours. ‘If the fuse doesn't work perfectly |after two hours of that mitilating | punishment it is rejected. To complete the contrast, if the cylinder of armor plate through which the T5-millimeter gun of the Chrysler tank protrudes isn't so well balanced that you can move it with your finger, out it goes, too. Big and little, moderi( armaments are the last word in precision. That's why it takes time to get them into production.
