BY THE EDITORS OF TIME The Weekly Newsmagazine (Continued from page 6) Francis Wilcox could get might depress both domestic and international farm prices, Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace last week hoped to accomplish the same thing at home. About six weeks ago he first promulgated his domestic "two-price plan" for buying excess commodities from farmers at market price, then selling them at cut prices to needy U.S. citizens, with the government footing the loss. Specifically, he proposed to have some of the 1,600,000 bales of cotton which the government holds as collateral on loans to producers processed into dry goods and sold at prices far below the retail market. The system, if it worked, would provide cheap cotton goods for the poor, employment for cotton workers, an outlet for surplus stocks. Retailers like the National Retail Dry Goods association, were horrified lest the cut price become a yardstick for all dry goods. And how would the government decide who was to get goods cheaply, who expensively. The department of agriculture last week set out to find answers for these questions. Using cotton mattresses as a medium for experiment, Assistant Secretary Harry Brown invited cotton producers, manufacturers and distributors to discuss the possibility of applying the two-price plan at home.

BEASTS AND WORKERS—WASHINGTON — Besides uncounted numbers of deer, bear, foxes, rabbits, squirrels and birds of the forest, there are abroad in the woods this hunting season some 300,000 CCC workers. Following a custom he believes prudent, Director Robert Fechner of CCC last week addressed a letter to state game wardens thanking them for their help in the past and asking them again this year to keep his boys from being shot. "I request that all hunters shall refrain from hunting within rifle range of any work project and that you authorize such regulations as may be necessary." Hunters are in no danger from CCC boys, who are discouraged from having guns not only to avoid accidents but so that pacifists cannot accuse the corps of being militaristic. To every CCCster at work in hunting country is issued a marker—a bright headband or hat tassel—as protection from quick-triggered hunters. Ing and assignment of the contract, respectively.

By September 30, close of the automobile year, profits had declined as much as 70%, employment had been cut one-third, total production of 2,704,992 units was little more than half 1937's. But even this figure was nearly twice as high as 1932's depression loss. And by the season's end the glued used-car market was back normal with only 90,000 new cars remaining unsold, an almost umpired connection between public works and private property ownership throughout New York City. A REASON NO. 5 Why home is no place for the family washing—because the home facilities cannot provide enough hot water. The recent Home Washing Survey disclosed the fact that the average home uses only one third the amount of water per pound of clothes that the Sanitary does. None of the homes used more than 4 changes of water, most but 3. The Sanitary uses from 9 to 12 for each washing, none re-used. To kill all bacteria 140 degrees or more must be maintained continuously for 40 to 50 minutes. In the home's last rinse an average of 318.792 bacteria per cubic centimeter was found. The Sanitary's last rinse was sterile!! Phone Anaheim 4503 and have our driver call. WE USE IVORY SOAP AND ZERO SOFT WATER EXCLUSIVELY THE SANITARY LAUNDRY RELIABLE RESPONSIBLE A. W.

Other changes: Running boards are abandoned completely in some models, optional in others. The rumble has given way to the 4-to-6 seat coupe. General savings in gas consumption and wear and tear are promised from the over-drive, an automatic super-high gear that engages between 23 and 35 m. p. h., cutting the motor speed down almost to that of the drive shaft. Not the same as free-wheeling, the over-drive provides free-rolling efficiency, while still retaining the braking power of the engine, is conceded wider favor than free-wheeling since it requires no manual operation. Other new wrinkles include rotary door latches that catch without slamming; increased visibility through bigger wind shield area; sliding sunshine panels in sedan tops; "catwalk cooling" grilles lowset on the catwalk apron between hood and fenders to scoop up the theoretically cooler air near the ground.

In 1938 sales, as in 1936 and 1937, Chevrolet led the pack, hotly pressed by Ford, with Plymouth third. But stable for stable, the Ford and Lincoln-Zephyr combination ran third, the Chrysler line (Plymouth, De Soto, Dodge and Chrysler) second and General Motors (Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, LaSalle and Cadillac) far out in front.

With the slate thus wiped clean, with the new cars full of genuine mechanical improvements and priced below 1938 (though still above 1937), and with the public snapping up the advance models and ordering more, Detroit was sure its 1939 fashions would click. Most significant advance this year is the virtual disappearance of the familiar wobble-stick gear-shift lever; almost all 1939 cars will sport some sort of steering post-mounted gearshift either as standard or extra equipment. While most of these systems are merely conveniently placed substitutes for the old wobble-stick, some use the vacuum energy generated by the engine's air-intake systems to operate automatic pressured by Ford, with Plymouth third.

BROWN OF PICO I like the way an electric range cooks vegetables. They retain more of their natural flavor than in any other way of cooking." ELECTRICALLY-COOKED vegetables taste better because you cook them in less water, due to the dependability of electric heat. Vegetables cook in their own delicious juices and every bit of flavor is retained. And they are more healthful and appetizing in appearance. The good results you get with an electric range are attained easily. Much of your cooking is the matter of turning a switch. In some operations, the range assumes the entire responsibility of turning on the heat, turning it off and delivering the food hot and tempting when you want it. Modern electric ranges are everything you want in beauty and efficiency. Have you seen the latest models? ★ ELECTRIC COOKERY IS WINNING THE WEST
