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-

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.
