WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. — Don’t grumble if there’s a lot of snow in your neighborhood. Be thankful instead. Snow is one of the important ingredients, of wictory, Not, perhaps; in the direct sense that it ‘is in Russia, but our American snow is ea great: help" toward the ‘goal none the less. Snow on the ground now means bread and milk on the table before next winter's snow begins to fall. For winter wheat and other fall sown grains depend on SNOW LOW for protection against. the cold and drying winds of winter, and they will depend on the water from the thaw for most of their growth in spring. If they get a good start on that in
late March and during April, a
Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. — Thousands of checks: as; little as 20 cents are being issued by the RFC in payment for some of the millions of idle automobile tires recently gathered 'up in a nation-wide campaign—and every time it does it it breaks a law. A Washingtoflian who received a 40-cent check in payment for his tire has learned from the Defense Supply Corp. (a subsidiary.to RFC) that his 40 cents is just twice what some turned-in tires are bringing. An old law (title 18, section 293, U. S. Criminal Code, 178) declares that “no person,” under penalty of fine and imprisonment, shall issue a check for a less sum than $1, but Government agencies have held

Smolensk Anchor Point for Strong Nazi Defense Position
. By SEXSON E. HUMPHREYS - German positions in south Russia have been pretty well shattered | by the winter’s battles, and .important parts of the Relchswehr, ‘have been trapped at Stalingrad, Voronezh and in the Caucasus. Still securely German, however, are two formidable’ defense lines that may be difficult for the Red army to crack. The first of these lines runs ‘south from Smolensk—the single most
military: experts apparently believe that either Kursk, Kharkov or Rostov: will be taken ultimately. “In that case, the German tactics apparently ‘call for a retreat to: a Smolensk - Sevastopol line based largely on the Dnieper river. Key points on this line would be Gomel, Kiev and: the Dneipropetrovsk dam —all of which figured prominently in the news when the Russians had established a defense line on the left bank of the Dnieper. New Defense Line Built. From : these positions the Germans probably would attempt to launch a new offensive next: summer. * The Nazis do not seem very confident of holding this second’ line for many months, since there are persistent rumors that a “little Siegfried line” has been built about the 1941 German-Russian border. Brest-Litovsk, . where. - Lenin and Trotsky signed a. treaty of peace with Germany in 1917 would be the key point on that line, -although intermediate defense undoubtedly would be attempted on a line running through Wilno (Vilna), Minsk and Odessa.
Don’ t Kick About the Snow: It Helps Make Bread, Milk
very little rain in May will suffice tc. make the crop that will be harvested in July. Similarly, snow makes the early hay crop and the spring pastures on which our milk supply depends fo a large extent. ~ Snow is a major source of the water that few of us’ ever even think gbout, except weather men and agricultural scientists: ‘What is known as subsoil water. This is the moisture well below plow level, on which trees and bushes depend, and the deeper reaching roots of maturing - crops Corn roots, for example, go down from three to five feet; alfalfa roots as much as twenty. And it is this moisture reserve that. hey depend ‘on.
RFC Breaks Law Every Time It Issues a 20-Cent Check
ernment checks. , Bankers say that so many private persons pay their little bills with checks that the old law seems to have been effectively Fepealed by popular consent. The 20 cents for an eld tire is only part of the cost to the government. In the first place, the RFC has to settle with the Railway Express ‘Agency for picking up the tires. Second, experts figure that it costs Uncle Sam an extra $5 every time. one of his agents draws a check, because of the printing, distribution, charging, handling and accounting for the check itself, and the billing, invoicing, paying and final obituary of the check on its return to the Treasury through Senking channels.
