Shirts Pile Up At Markets But Shelves Are Bare Sajr Men! Have you tried to buy a white tblrt lately? Bet you didn’t tind any in Cam den, Columbia or Charlotte. W# know because we tried evwy store In^ Cam den, every mens shop and department store in Columbia and all the stores in Charlotte. Believe it or not, there are millions of men’s shirts lying idle in manu- fscturers’ storerooms while dealers shelves are bare and civilian demand grows more desperate every day. How do we know this? Prom the Wall Street Journal of last week Thursday. The Journal says that the Manhattan Shirt company has 420,000 shirts piled up and is steadily adding to this pile. 'The Manhattan company ordinarily makes from B'to 8 percent of all the shlijs produced In this country. 'Fhe Manhattan company would like to sell these shirts to the retailers but it Just can’t do so because of . the Office of Price Administmtlon’s Maximum Average Price regulations. The rulM that bother it require, in effect, that a shirt manufacturer sell goods which have the same average price of those sold back In a certain base period. Well, IHJW that we have told you about the why of the shirt shortage in your favorite haberdasher’s, let’s turn to take a look at the probable s(yie chart of men'sj ciothbs this sum mer. For Instance a man’s peek-a-boo summer suit with lace inserts for cooling purposes is to be offered com- fort^dovlng males In a few months. A patent has already been obtained on' a very cute thing, a suit with a drape cape. The lace goes up the out side of the trouser leg, down the sleeves and across the back Of the coat In case of a draft the wearer can close the openings with flaps. , And lo and Imbold—there Is also a newly patented way to raise a baby. Just put him in his go-cart with a built in contraption resembling an auto Jack, twist the handle a couple of times and goo-goo-goo, up pops the body of the carriage to a level where Aunt Aggie can see Junior without getting a lumbago twinge. Another novelty on the market Is the combination boot and shoe with the top . big enough to engulf the trouser leg without folding or creas ing. Then there is the shoe with a toe having an adjustable flap which folds back over the foot and which can be regulated to fit any member of the family. This shoe is somewhat open on the sides and so it would not be very practical should a new fog pro- Peekles Warm Against Letting Battery Down A partially-charged battery that gives tractor operators many head aches can be ^Iminated by pm’lodlc testing and routine servicing, point* out D. P. Peebles, of Myers-Olllls Im plement Co., local dealers of Pord- Perguson tractors and Fergnaon Sys tem implements. He said experience indicates that overcharging and lack of distilled water ahe chief calises Of short bat tery life. Battery boiling is caused by overcharging and should be remedied by decreasing the charging rate, be added before giving the following suggestfons on battery care: It pays to test a battery wjth an hydrometer. The reading indicates the condition of the battery. Don't take a reading from a cell which has had water added to it un til after the tractor has been driven for at least 80 minutes. If readings of 1225 or less are ob tained, the battery Is not sufficient- It charged and should either be re charged or replaced. If the battery bas been discharged by leaving the light* or Ignition on, it may be recharged by normal opera tion. If readings above 1250 are obtained, the battery is fully charged and it will merely be necessary to add dis tilled water. Many things to watch for in con nection with the tractor battery fol low : • Partial corrosion of cables restricts current capacity. Broken or cracked battery case may allow battery fluid to escape. Low gravity cells. Sealing compound broken away from cell covers. TermUuil posts broken, or partial ly broken. Cell connectors broken away from posts, or post broken away from strap, / Pressing due to partially charged battery. Clean terminals for Inspection with amonia or baking soda in water. Inspect battery carrier for loose ness or broken iMttery fasteners. Check charging rate and adjust to specifications. High water consump tion is an indication of excessive charging. ducing device Just patented be turn ed on. The device, according to the specifications turns n water Jet into a conical stream of fog. But the inventor doef not explain why. ^ - CAMDEN HOME BAKERY Dinner will never be late bacauee of a deaaert that didn’t get done . . .
