TRUCK HAULING
SHOWS GROWTH
Industry Has Made Great . Strides Since First ~~ World War.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U. P). Truck transportation in the last World war period is dwarfed by the sharply expanded facilities now available, the American Petroleum institute said today on the basis of statistics of the Automobile Manufacturers’ association. 2 “Private and commercial truck . owners are 15 times as well prepared today to assist in the war ‘transportation effort as they were at the same period of World War IL,” * the institute declared. “For every passenger automobile available to carry war workers to their jobs in 1917, there are today six’ vehicles available. Both the trucks and the passenger vehicles are better and suffer fewer break- - downs than did their progenitors 25 years ago.” At start of the last war in 1914, ‘there were only 85,600 trucks registered in the United States, and by the time this country entered hos- _ tilities the figure had grown to . 826,000 units.

Harry Huston ° ¥
For the first time in many years, three Hoosiers hold the first three places in. standing of all Indianapolis Life Insurance Co. representatives in the various states. Usually men from Texas or Illinois, or other states, are among the top three. The three are J. W. Schwab, first; Nathan Kaufman of Shelbyville, second; and Harry Huston of Logansport, third. The company recently passed the $125,000,000 mark in insurance in force, according to Edward B. Raub, president of the company. New business for July was the largest total of any July in the company’s history. The company is now completing its 37th year in business and is the largest company in the nation organized as an old line, legal reserve mutual company since 1905. Assets have shown a substantial increase during the year and now exceed $30,000,000. Surplus exceeds

$2,000,000. The company has paid more than $17,200,000 to policyholders and beneficiaries in the last 10 years. “Life insurance men are taking a leading part in the sale of war
bonds,” Mr. Raub said. “They are -
also rendering ‘a vital service thrcugh the sale of new life insurance and the servicing of life insurance in force. Life insurance companies are large buyers of government bonds. This means money for airplanes, tanks and ships. “Large sums invested in public utilities provide needed power. Billions of dollars in mortgage loans have made homes and proguctive farms available for our citizens. Dollars now ‘being invested in life insurance promote: thrift and savings, counteract, inflationary trends, build emergency funds for future years and provide needed protection for dependents and old age.” The company’s record of percentage of insurance remaining

in force year after year, when checked for the first half of 1942, showed one of the highest persistency records in the company’s history and indicates that approximately 96 per cent of the insurance owned by the company’s policyholders is maintained in force year after year. “We attribute this splendid record to the fact that our representatives are carefully trained in fitting life insurance to the particular need of the buyer and helping him to select the right policy and the right amount, and to the conscientious attempt of all the home office employees and the officers of the company to give helpful, prompt service,” Mr. Raub said. “Many men, in addition to the three shown above, have made outstanding records this year. Indiana ranks first among the states in which the company operates. Illinois, Texas, Ohio and Michigan complete the top five.”
PAY RATES SET RECORD IN JUNE
$39.53 Is Weekly Average; ‘Survey Shows July Rise In Living Costs.
NEW YORK, Aug, 17 (U. P.).— The hourly and weekly earnings of industrial workers and the purchasing power of their pay envelopes broke all records in -June, a report by the National Industrial Conference board showed today. In June, the average weekly pay of workers in 25 major industries was $39.53 an advance of 1.4 per cent over May, 15.4 per cent higher than the average wage in June, 1941, and 38.5 per cent higher than in 1929. Another survey by the board showed that living -costs for industrial workers and low-salaried white collar workers rose in July in 34 of 67 cities: surveyed. Over the whole nation, the survey showed, living costs rose .2 per cent in July, principally because the cost of food increased. “ ‘Real’ weekly earnings, or dollar earnings adjusted for changes in living costs, rose 1.3 per cent in June because weekly earnings advanced and the cost of living remained unchanged,” the report said. The June level was 5 per cent higher than that a year earlier and 42.4 per cent higher than for 1929.” The report said hourly earnings average 91.7 cents an hour in June, an ingrease of 1.2 per cent over the preceding month.

Saturation Point In Food Output?
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17 (U. P.).— Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard believes the United States may reach its farm production peak this year, with record yields of almost every crop. “This may be the largest production for a long time to come,” he said. “There are certain limits to production so far as they can be influenced by man.” Mr. Wickard said that farmers may not be able to grow as much during the rest of the war because of serious shortages of manpower and machinery. The unusually favorable weather con‘ditions during 1942 may not be repeated, he said. “From now on we need to utilize every acre, every hour of labor to the best advantage of ourselves and our allies,” he said.
REPORT G. M. SEEKS HALF BILLION LOAN
NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U.

The huge financial transaction, which would be the largest of its kind ever undertaken, “still is in the negotiating stage and because it will be established uncer regulation “V” of the Federal Reserve system, some time must elapse before the whole deal is concluded,” the news agency said. “It is understood Chrysler also will avail itself of the new ‘V’ financing.” Dow-Jones said that the interest rate to be carried by the credit “probably” will be about 2% per cent. i .

MANY DEPEND “UPON OIL HEAT
Nearly 20 Per Cent in East Use Petroleum Products, A. P. |. Reports.
NEW YORK, Aug. 17 (U. P.).— Government statistics indicated that nearly 20 per cent of all families along the Atlantic seaboard depend upon petroleum products for heating, the American Petroleum institute said today.
Exclusive of Pennsylvania for wHich no report has been issued as yet, bureau of census statistics show a total of 12,241,992 dwellings units on the east coast in 1940, the institute reported. About half of these, 5,551,622 houses, were heated by central heating systems, while 5,446,140 units were without central heating, and the remainder did not report. ,
“Of the dwelling units with cen.tral heating, 1,108,503 used fuel oil; 936,783 of those without central heating had stoves or other room heaters which burned fuel oil, kerosene, or gasoline,” the institute said. “In addition to these oil heated homes are the dwellings heated by the estimated 325,000 domestic oil burners installed on the east coast in 1940 and 1941 since the census was taken, and the unknown number of dwelling units without central heating which have added oilburning stoves and room heaters in the same period. “Altogether it is probably that, adding in Pennsylvania, there are now in the’ 17 eastern states and the District of Columbia between 1,400,000 ‘and 1,500,000 oil burners in homes and apartment houses, providing heat for between 1,500,000 and 1,600,000 dwelling units. Petroleum-burning stoves and heaters furnish the”only heat for well over 1,000,000 dwellings without central heating.”

Less Than 4 Per Cent of War Injuries Fail to. Heal Quickly.
4 By. Science Service . CHICAGO, Aug. 17.—Massive in-
can troops, such as were common during the first world war, are now conspicuous by their absence. Phenomenal results of treatment of Pearl Harbor wounded dramatically portray the advance of U. S. army medicine, Major General James, C. Magee, Surgeon General of the Medical Corps, points out in the forthcoming issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. « “Carefully . planned methods of evacuation, the employment of drugs of the sulfonamide group and the administration of blood plasma were]
- |the chief features,” he explains.’
“Wounds healed rapidly and cleanly. Less than 4% of the cases of -extensive wounds, including compound | fractures, became infected even to a mild degree. : "Almost Perfect Score
“The mortality from perforating | wounds of the abdomen, which pre- | vious experience had demonstrated
tically nonexistent. Many men have
be facing the prospects of long continued hospitalization,” Gen. Magee
afforded the benefits of the newest methods of treatment.”
The U. S. army is the first in his-
fever. Every member of the army is also vaccinated against typhoid and paratyphoid fevers, smallpox and tetanus.- And the medical department is prepared to fully immunize the American forces against typhus fever, bubonic plague, and cholera —if and when needed.
Studied 14 Years
A corps of army experts has visited and studied—often secretly— the preventive medicine and sanitation problems of remote and strange regions where history may decree that the fate of our nation will be decided.
ficult tasks never encountered in civilian practice, Gen. Magee points out. But research and organization has provided the U. 8. forces with the best of health possible under; combat conditions. “The U."S. army has played & leading role in this field of investigation from the earliest days,”
sult, some of the greatest advances in medical knowledge in preventive
medical officers of our army.”

heat and water are the 3 natural enemies of vitamins,
That’s why you should lose no time in storing spinach and other fresh vegetables in your Electric refrigerator until ready to cook. There, at safe 40° tempera. ture, vitamins will be retained.. : What happens to the vitamins in the spinach is typical of what happens to the vitamins in other vegetables, fruits and foods which are: not given proper protection between the grocer or garden and the dining room table. Refrigeration, however, is only the first part of the “health for victory” story.
COOKING BRINGS NEEDED
VITAMINS TO THE TABLE
"The final pay-off comes with vitamized cooking. Boiling vegetables violently in too much water or exposing them to destructive air by - stirring or cooking in open vessels deprives you of vitamins that are ‘poured down the sink in excess cooking water. Vegetables cooked in this manner will lose more than 40%, of their Vitamin C content.
Use little or
no water to prevent loss of water-soluble vitamins
and minerals . . . start fast and. cook quickly to reduce exposure
to heat, liquid
and don’t stir because air destroys vitamins and accurate heat coms

With an Electric range it’s no trick at all to avoid this tremendous loss of vitamins
and save up
to 91%, of these health-giving
elements. And you'll find the entire family will enjoy healthful vitamized cooking.
