Total War Bond quota for the State Is $2,453,400. Every Income earner in the State is expected to step-up War Bond purchases on a basis of ten per cent or more of Income. This is necessary to help America's armed ' - .11 forces take the offensive against the Axis powers. The American voluntary method of War Bond purchases must be successful in reaching the quotas set by the I Treasury Department for every county in the nation. The job of every American now is to stop spending and save dollars to help win the War. NOTICE IN R! :: DOCKET NO. 2032- The hppli< t)I ion Of H. H. Ergle, doing business as H. H.

ROBERT MOORMAN. Referee in Bankruptcy, . Columbia, S. C i Train Girls for Defense Work i Their Skill With Machinery It Found to Be Equal To Thai of Men. DES MOINES, IOWA?Girls con tear down an automobile engine, | handle u lathe or spot welder with the best of men and there should be a place for them in America s booming defense industries, in the opinion of foremen and supervisors in the j National Youth administration s metal and wod-working shops here. I More than 500 girls have laid aside dresses and aprons for coveralls and slacks to work with pnachines instead of dishpans. Girls have been pouring Into shops in Iowa so fast since the program of mechanical training for girls was launched t.eight months ago that NYA statisticians haven't been able to keep count. In the Des Moines and Clinton shops, each -of which has nearly $65,000 worth of drills, presses, shapers, welders and pattern-making equipment, the girls haven't beep the least queasy about grease and grime, foremen report. The fact that fingernail polish won't stay on in a machine shop doesn't seem to bother them at all. Hold Their Own With Boys. They are working right alongside the boys in overhauling state automobiles, making street and road signs, steel lockers and ornamental ironwork for state parks. Of course they aren't swinging sledges. The heavy lifting that goes with machine work is left to the boys. Like the boys, each girl is given a thorough physical examination before she goes to work. The big hurdle for the girl machinist, however, is getting a job. And until the military forces have pulled more men out of industry not many are likely to get a chance to show their skill in private industry. Nevertheless, two Davenport lasses have gone from an NYA machine shop ito jobs in the Rock Island, 111., army arsenal, and a total of 45 have obtained places in various manufacturing industries in Iowa. The women's best opportunities, however, are in the radio and garment factories. "The radio industry has a real place for women," the foreman de! clared. "The girls in our radio : shops have shown that they have a real talent for the delicate work it takes there. And the radio factories hire a good many women." At present more than 1,800 NYA girls are turning out overalls, awnings, raincoats and other clothing in 32 Iowa communities. Types of Training. The NYA, however, is by no means a girls' program. Out of 5,984 youths now employed in Iowa 3,269 are boys and 2,715 are girls. The program is designed to give "work experience" to out-of-school youngsters between 17 and 25 years old. For 80 hours' work per month they receive $19 to $24. Types of training offered range over nearly every field of endeavor ?from office work, poster-making and sewing to radio manufacture, broadcasting, metal-working and ditch-digging. The projects are sponsored by governmental agencies ahd all products of NYA labor go to tax-supported institutions. In addition to the "on the job" training NYA last year provided after-school work for 5,300 students in 947 Iowa high schools and for 2,815 students in the 65 Iowa colleges. Driver Writes to Judge, \ApoIogizes for Speeding FOlVr WORTH. ? Judge Frank Hurley\whs showing to his friends one of \hje "once-in-a-lifetime" letters. X It wa^jluitten by a Lubbock attorney, Me\Janes, who received a ticket for spetxjing. His letter was accompanied by $10, which covered the fine. Wrote Janes: "I regret the incident and am sorry I was using your highway for speed . . . I'm sure I was speeding or the officers wouldn't have given me a ticket." If Home Is Bombed You Can Deduct It From Tax WASHINGTON, D. C.?As the treasury sees it, you don't have to worry about having your house bombed any more?you can deduct ! it from your income tax. A treasury rule since 1924 forbade ['deductions for property losses from bomb explosions, but today the treasury reversed itself and allowed an American who lost property in the bombing of a French city last year to offset his loss against his income in computing tax. Utah, Once Desert State, Absorbs Heavy Rainfall SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.-Utah, whose vast deserts and salt fiats have given it the reputation of being one of the driest states in the country, is getting wetter. - A weather bureau report showed that in the lost "weather year" there was an average of 18.74 inches of precipitation in the state, more than a half-inch more than recorded in any previous year and nearly six inches more than normal. U|hi^^ - /p H'mdTJ Washington, May 18. - Much confusion and criticism appear to ht*ve resulted from the rationing of gasoline. and 11 have received numerous complaints of the Inequities of the system being followed. The American people have come to depend upon motor fuel to such an extent that they find It difficult to understand how they can live and work without It. According to the office of Price Administration, the present plan Is this: Gasoline obtained with 'A cards is for emergency personal use, such as securing medical aid, etc. Also it is available for going to church or other driving which the motorist fools is essential. The "11 card holder's gasoline Is for business only. The Ol'A admits there Is an inconsistency here, in that the holder of a "B caid gets no gas for personal use as does tho holder of an "A" card. This Inconsistency Is blamed on the fuct that the rationing system is an emergency measure and lar from perfect. There are hound to be injustices and discriminations in any \vartUne__ rationing. Supplementary Rations If the holder of any rationing card finds that a supplemental ration of gasoline is "essential to life or the pursuit of a gainful occupation", he may make application for a supplemental ration. A use "essential to life" includes situations in which an automobile is essential to secure necessary medical care or procure food or supplies or in which the physical disability of the person using the car is such as to make other means of transportation impossible or hazardous. The application for a supplemental ration, together with facts supporting the claim of its necessity, must be presented to the motorist's local rationing board for consideration. There perhaps should have been some provision for an emergency type rationing card which could have been held in reserve for extreme cases where hardships might be created by the regular plan. Director of Marketing John W. Frey, of the office of Petroleum Coordinator, says that "South Carolina is affected by the petroleum shortage as well as tho other sttftes in the East Coast area and, although certain sections of the state may have adequate supplies at the present time, the transfer of transportation facilities and supplies of petroleum products to other sections where shortages are acute will tend to equalize the supply situation throughout this state and district as a whole." Needs Are Great Normally about 1,500,000 barrels of petro'eum products per day would be needed in the East Coast area. Of this total, 1.300,000 would come in ocean tankers and the balance in pipelines and railroad tank cars. At the momment, deliveries by pipelines and tank cars are at an all-time peak of something under 700,000 barrels, per day. This may be increased to 000,000 barrels per day by changes j in pipeline routes and, if tho rail-' roads can handle the traffic, by shift-1 ing tank cars from other parts of the' country. Even if this is done, there j will still be a shortage of over 300,000 j barrels per day. based on a minimum i essential demand estimate of 1,265,000 barrels a day. As long ago as peace-1 time 103S, the Navy. Army, and Coast j Guard used 1 1.536.SI5 barrels of oil1 I products per year, and this need has j greatly increased. Each gallon of pe-1 troleum products w hich we use in j civilian life means that much less) tanker equipment will be available for j our lighter forces. It is unfortunate that our visgfl our maiu objective?winning ?should be clouded by doubt ttl the need for a rationing prop* Hut rationing is part of the wtrfl fort; and in a Democracy thtyrei^l bo trial and error and correctk^B is hoped that some of the inequnfl can be adjusted. Then I bcllove^^H an overwhelming majority of fl American people will cooperate ffl this rationing if they feel angH that state and government offh$|^| including membors of congrw* not take advantage of the Chang* Becure unlimited gas. 1 Service Men's Pay- - J The house raised the base pay fl apprentice seamen and privates army to $50 a month after the saajH had set $42 figure.
