Steel for our ships, tanks and guns Is made from melting up .roughly' one half scrap, and one half new pig iron. ' ' ' Q Who gets the money for my scrap? . A That depends upon the lo cal arrangements in your com munity. The junkmen pay for scrap, and sell It to the steel mills, at prices fixed by the gov ernment. You can take your scrap to the nearest junkyard and sell it. ; Public groups in va rious communities who are col lecting the scrap also sell It, and use the funds for various charit able and public purposes.

(API The government yester day undertook Its first venture to ward clothing rationing, ordering a sales freeze on rubber boots and rubber work shoos effective at midnight and lasting until Octo ber 5, when a "certificate ration ing" program is to bo launched. i By order of the office of price administration;, the industrial footwear will be sold only to men working on jobs essential to the prosecution of the war or to pub lic health and safely. The freezing order was intend ed to slave off a buyers' run on the stocks now In stores before rationing takes effect, and to give dealers time to take Inven tory. Six types of men's rubber boots and rubber work shoes were or dered under the sales cut-off and ration plan because they require a high content of crude rubber and because the demand has mounted steeply as a result of in creased industrial and agricul tural activity. Ordinary rubbers, artlcs, gait ers, and women's and children's rubber boots will not be rationed and arc nut covered in the freeze, because I hey are made mostly from reclaimed rubber.

Brazil Capable of Aiding Heavily in War Against Axis Brazil, the first South Ameri can country to declare war on the axis (Japan excluded) is expected to lend material and moral aid of definite proportions to the al lied lineup. This huge Portuguese speaking nation, biggest of the South Amer ican republics, is larger in size than the United States by approxi mately 250,000 square miles. Bra zil has a population of about 45, 000,000, borders on every South American country but Chile and Ecuador and has a coast line of almost 5,000 miles to guard. Her army consists of 100,000 regulars, with 300,000 In reserve. Navy has two battleships, two cruisers, 11 destroyers and four submarines in addition to several smaller craft. Brazil had a peace time air force of 3,500 men, is rapidly expanding that service. Brazil entered world war (only South American nation to do so) for same reason it came into pre sent conflict: ruthless German submarine attacks on Brazilian vessels. Brazil's world war con tribution consisted of a fleet of detachment sent to European waters, a medical mission and a number of aviators. Biggest part was played on the food front. Top Brazilian is President Getulio Vargas, definitely anti axis. Brazil's immediate problem is to keep a wary eye on strong axis nationalist groups who have settled there. Brazil has about 4,000,000 residents of German or Italian extraction, 300,000 Japan ese. The latter represent the lar gest Japanese minority planted anywhere in the world. transferred from the coopera tive's management to the Seventh Day Adventist church recently by directors "secretly and without the consent of members."

School Pupils May Have To Toil, Says Draft Head NEW YORK, Sept. 30-(AP) School children in America may have to work "four or five hours a day at farmwork or something else useful," MaJ. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, director of sejective ser vice, told a conference on man power and war labor problems yesterday. "The civilian population has not gone to war yet," Hershey said. "We must realize that we may have to see the time when our youngsters will have to do farm work or do something else useful four or five hours a day.

Harry (Kid) Matthews of Seat tle, formerly of Emmett, Idaho, scored a clear 10-round decision over the 26-year-old Seattle slug ger, who twice hM . tha world middleweight championship be- fore losing it to Tony ale. . ' Matthews' victory was a tri umph of a hard-punching boxer over a slugger who seemed to have lost the combination for his onetime lethal punch. Hostak cut loose with a trio of flurries that sent Matthews ' momentarily to; cover,- but the former Idahoari usually came out of them with his left hand In Hostak's face or mid-rlf. When Hostak cut loose with one of his right-hand Sun day punches, It usually fell on one of Matthews' elbows. Matthews held a weight advan tage of 166 to l2i. . Hostak's best round was the third, but he also had an edge In the seventh and 10th. In the lat ter round, he flailed wildly at his younger opponent, trying des. perately for the knockout which he apparently knew was his onluf hope of victory. Matthews cover-V ed up to weather the flurry. A broom and dustpan have been added to each police car in Walla Walla, Wash., as standard equipment. Police Chief Jim Jef feris has ordered the patrolmen to clear city streets of glass, to save motorists' tires.
