Congressman J. 1\ Richards, of the Fifth South Carolina District, has urged the office of Price Administration to consider establishing separate rationing units for every community of 1.000 persons or more. Cndor tho present plan, Mr. Richards told the OPA, many residents of small communities are forced to make Ion# and wasteful trips to apply for rationing cards. Many persons who have planted foodstuffs now aro llndliitt the greatest difficulty In obtaining sugar to save what they have produced, ho pointed out. "It has been my understanding that the rationing of tires, gasoline, sugur, and other commodities formed a collective step necessary to the prosecution of our war," Mr. Richards said. "Hut the waste of time, gasoline and tires involved in attempts to socuro rationing cards is jlot consistent with that view."

Record Making Delicate Work; Gold Plated Heat is necessary to record ma^* ing, but never afterward. A disk starts with a round metal plate, onehalf Inch thick and slightly larger than the record will be when finished. It is heated and a thin layer of wax flows on to be cooled carefully and passed on to the recording room. The sound picked up by microphones and converted into electrical energy by amplifiers piped into the room is changed back into mechanical energy and impressed on the thin layer of wax by the cutting head. The waxed plate is put on a machine under a vacuum and the recorded surface is covered with a very thin layer of gold. It is now a metal plate with a layer of wax containing music cuts and the surface is gold plated. It is put into a copper-sulphate solution for 16 hours and a heavy copper plate put over the gold. This copper-plate is lifted away from the wax and the inside surface is gold with an opposite impression of music. The disk | is nickle plated, then chrome plated to make the grooves more rugged. It now is ready to be put on a press. Then the label is set in the center, the mass of the formula is put on the disk and it is heated to 300 degrees. The press is closed by hand and opened immediately. The finished record then is ready to play. But before it is played on your phonograph, brush off the carbon dust with a velvet buffer or a soft hair brush like you use on your felt hat. Quart Milk Without Cost Each Day Defense Move Declaring that 38 per cent of the first 1,000,000 draftees were declared unfit for military duty, largely because of malnutrition, W. D. Dobbins, a Birmingham real estate man, is steadily building support for a plan under which every child in the nation, under 14 years of age, would receive a quart of milk each day without cost. The Dobbins proposal, which he hopes to have introduced in congress as soon as some difficulties are ironed out, provides for an initial federal appropriation of $600,000,000 to start operation of the plan ?which he characterizes as a defense move. Dobbins cited figures showing that 26 per cent of tho nation's 45,000,000 school children are undernourished and liable to serious mental or physical illness. He would have the department of agriculture issue "white stamps similar to food and cotton stamps now being used, with which those under 14 could purchase not more than one quart of milk a day. ' His slogan is: "A quart of milk a day per child will make the cheeks of American children rosy, tHe pastures green and the farmers prosperous." 'Lincoln Also Spoke' In Hanover, Pa., a shaft was recently unveiled of Mary Shaw. The name Is unfamiliar to most persons, but to her belongs the distinction of being one of the very few persons who had the power of analysis to acclaim the Lincoln Gettysburg address a great speech. While other reporters fell into the mistake of playing up the "orator of the day" and paraphrased a race track expression by adding, "President Lincoln also spoke," Mary Shaw, a reporter on the Hanover, Pa., Spectator, reported what Lincoln said, word for word. Below her likeness is this inscription: "Her firsthand report of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address bore witness to its greatness. In her account for the Hanover Spectator she garnered Lincoln's words from his own lips. She helped the world to long remember. Her fellow townsmen pay this belated tribute to her courage, enterprise and foresight that we may never forget." Laps Up Blood Some members of the bat family will eat fruit or bugs. In fact, the biggest bats in the world?the giant fruit bats of Java?have no interest in a blood diet. This is fortunate for the natives, for these bats measure three feet and more across their wings. There is many a legend about the vampire bat, and not all of these tales are true. One persistent bit of lore is that the creature hi a blood sucker. This is wrong. The vampire literally laps up blood with a tiny and amazingly efficient tongue. This tongue flicks back and forth at high speed when the flesh of the victim has been punctured and takes up the blood so fast that it seems the eating is done by sucking it up. Labels Help Identify A helpful idea at canning time is to label jelly glasses, fruit jars and other containers with the name of the contents and the date of preparation. Then it is always easy to identify and select whatever is wanted off the shelves. One of the easiest ways is to hold the paper label on the jar with transparent adhesive tape which seals tightly at a touch of the finger and requires no moistening. This tape is transparent as glass so the label is easily read and is also protected against stain or dust. Tape and label are readily removed when desi ard. Many housewives also label their ..oMjom shelves in the same way. Mrs. Sarratt Is Buried In Charlotte Graveside services for Mrs. A.
