strictions the scale.
The manufacture of all types of
scales is prohibited in an order
which also forbids the production
of repair parts for household scales.
But your grocer won't be in such
a difficult position since replace
ment parts can be made for all
types of scales besides those used
strictly in the home.
Soon furniture and other house

iron and steel will be a past chap
ter in American furnishings. For
Nov. 1 is the deadline for the
completion of studio couches, sofa
beds, lounges and other furniture
using iron and steel. After that
date, only the final assembly of
fabric covers will be permitited.
And, incidentally, the WPB has
further reduced the amount of
steel, which can be used in bed
springs. However, simplified de
signs and wooden frames will help
manufacturers meet the limitation
order and still save 15,000 tons of
iron and steel annually.

expect to see the reappearance of
many of those articles that have
