May Cut Styles of Flags, Brooms and Toothbrushes

By BETTY MacDONALD Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, May 22.—Treasure those tufted tooth brushes! In the near future, WPB and the manufacturers will have worked out a plan to eliminate the oversized, over-tufted toothbrushes and to present a standardized, streamlined model to America. Already toothbrush production has been reduced 20 per cent. Because it is the only satis-

factory substitute for bristles, nylon is still alloted from precious war needs for toothbrush manufacture. WPB ex-

perts are searching for substitutes for the plastic handles and three tons of wire used annually in making toothbrushes. The problem extends, likewise, to hairbrushes, items which Germany, England and Canada have ruled essential enough to continue production. = = =

More Worries

Due to a shortage of broomcorn (most of it's imported from South America), broom manufacturers must curtail the weight and sizes of the war-model brooms, in order to produce more brooms. In experiments, grass and other fillers have not proved satisfactory substitutes. = = = » » »

Memorial Day Note WPB announces that fewer American flags will be manufactured, especially the larger banners; that wooden handles for all types of flags are scarce. = = = » 2 » Odds 'n' Ends Under price control are candlesticks, hurricane lamps, and flower containers; not under price control are wigs, toupees, pin cushions, book ends, bird houses, dinner bells. There are more gasoline stamps in certain areas of the country than gas to fill the demands, department of interior experts say. . . . The retail prices established on soap will bring price reductions in some areas, but won't represent an increase in the general level of soap prices.

— Your Health in War-Time Heat Exhaustion Requires

Quick Relief Treatment

By DR. THOMAS D. MASTERS The human body is capable of functioning well in many extremities of environment—but there are occasions when it must meet too severe a test. In very hot weather, for example, or in the presence of work carried on in hot places like engine rooms, laundries, and kitchens, especially where the humidity or amount of moisture in the air is high, the body may become not only very uncomfortable, but even painfully and seriously affected. In the main, one may say that | excessive heat may produce three | physical cohdi- _ tions: Heat ex- @ : haustion, heat stroke or sunstroke, and heat cramps. These states are closely re- ¥ lated and there : is no really clear line of de- : marcation between heat exhaustion and heatstroke, Heat exhaustion, as is implied in the term, suggests weakness, dizziness, and lethargy, resulting They may be relieved by rest from too long expusure W too | and replacing the salt and water much heat.

Mine Workers and the operators for settlement. 3. An increase in miners’ vacation pay from the present $20-a-year level to $50. The panel pointed out that $50 would be comparable to! the system prevailing in industries where workers are given one week of vacation with pay. Hit Holdover Methods 4. Elimination of occupational charges against the miners’ wages which the report stated were a “holdover” from previous mining methods. Miners now pay for the lamps, blasting powder and blacksmithing charges. The panel estimated that the miners pay about 8 cents a day for their lamps and | about $13 a year for safety caps and work shoes. Some miners pay about 65 cents a month for blacksmithing charges.

Unless a basis for further discussion develops, George said, it will be up to the conferees to report their failure to agree to their respective houses.

The idea of a withholding tax is not in controversy, but George is opposed to inaugurating collection at the source without some form of forgiveness.

Krauss asked Pvt, Groover to drive the car and switched to the rear seat with Miss Smith. = At Tipton, Pvt. Groover and

Smith got out of the car and sipped a bottle of beer in a tavern, the Smith girl and her sister remaining in the car.

At a point five miles this side of Elwood, Miss Smith reportedly asked Groever to stop the car bee cause she wanted to go into the woods. Krauss, according to his state= ment to the prosecutor, followed her, made advances, and when she declined, whipped out a 32-caliber revolver, Girl Taken to Hospital

He admitted, according to the statement, that he drew the gun and pointed it at the girl. He is quoted as saying: “I suppose I shot her.” : Groover drove Miss Smith to the hospital and then went to the Ele wood police station where he and Mrs. Griffin were taken into cuse tody.

Krauss was held on a charge of assault and battery with intent to Kill, filed before the girl's death. The prosecutor said a change in the charge would depend on action by the grand jury.
