COMMON ERROR

Disinterested means without selfinterest, as “He was a disinterested spectator.” It should not be con-

fused with uninterested, as “He was

uninterested in my proposal.”

CHRISTMAS GIFT STATUS SPOTTY

Trees to Be Expensive and Some Gifts Lacking, But Cards Are Plentiful.

WASHINGTON, Oct..15 (U. PJ). —War production board officials looked over the gift situation today—only 60 shopping days until Christmas—and found the situation “spotty.” \ Representatives of the WPB’s division “of civillan supply said this would be ‘the first real war-time Christmas in 25 years because most of the presents for last year were purchased before Pearl Harbor. - Regardless of depletion of stocks of certain goods in most areas— electrical appliances, imported hams, typewriters, silk ties, nylon hose, gin, and other items—officials said there still remained isolated “pockets” where all-but-vanished products still could be purchased. The American Forestry association meanwhile issued a warning that Americans may have their Christmas tree this year, “but it will be hard to get—and expensive.” * Shortage of labor to harvest the trees and transportation difficulties were the reasons given. ‘Enddgh Candy, Few Bonbons

Here is the situation for tradi-
