This does not mean that the harBnylvan vest will be good. But it will not Illinois be had. In some countries it will Miohican be better than last year’s; in others, Massachusetts about the same. In only a few New Jersey will it be worse. : Indiana Whether it will be good enough to supply Europe's bread needs for the coming year cannot, naturally, be definitely stated today. But it is likely to be close to it. How close is indicated by the serious depletions of last year’s reserves and the consequent severe bread rationing of recent months. In no less than eight countries, namely, Italy, Hungary, Spain, Croatia, Greece, Slovakia, Turkey and Norway, the daily bread ration has been less than 200 grams (7 ounces) per person. Except for Switzerland and Portugal—the only two|?3 European coutries where bread at present is unrationed—the ' ration has not exceeded 300 grams (10% ounces).

“VICTORY MODEL” for bicycles was patented by a Philadelphia woman who asked manufac * turers 5 cents a bike for using the term. .

BEFORE the public drive started, War Production Chief Chairman Donald Nelson asked 25,000 large typewriter-using companies for all their spares. Few even replied. Thus, WPB isn’t too optimistic about its public drive either. Indiana is asked . to turn in 33,000 typewriters. If it fails, WPB may say, “Turn ‘em in—or else.”
IN REDESIGNING cartridge cases to use steel instead of brass (critical shortage) it was found that rust wasn’t the big problem expected because the shells are taken to the front and soon used during war, instead of laying around and rusting as steel cases (not brass) do in peacetime. ; Steel instead of aluminum is now being used on 90 mm. anti-aircraft . gun platforms and the new design * is proving faster than the old. # 8 = ; INDIANA CIO is pressuring Manpower Chief Paul V.

dried eggs. Three large egg drying plants are in operation in Indiana and two new plants are under construction. When Agriculture Secretary Wickard asked for increased egg production on April 3 last year, egg-drying plant capacity was about 50 million pounds on the basis of year-round operation. Actually, the highest production up to that time was barely 11 million pounds. Since then more eggdrying plants have been built and there are now more than 80 of them, largely in the Mississippi valley, with an annual capacity approaching 300 million pounds a year.

ATLANTIC REFINING LOSES $3,535,000
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3 (U. P). —The Atlantic’ Refining Co. lost $3,535,000 during the first half of 1942 because of a rise of nearly 30 per cent in gross operating charges, Robert H. Colley, president, said today in a message mailed to stockholders. Gross operating income for the same period increased only 16 per cent, he said. Mr. Colley traced the big jump in overhead to the high freight charges paid to move crude and products across the country by railroad, irrecoverable differential in| product prices and the expense of reversing the flow of a subsidiary pipe line. He reported that crude oil is now moving through the pipe line to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh, where it arrives in tank car and river barge. “In spite of this effort, it has been impossible to move sufficient crude oil to Philadelphia to maintain refinery operation at anywhere near capacity,” he sald.
