Benzo will have to start stiatxrh- ing—and he can blame his new dog troubles on a shortage alf roten one. Rotenone 's a chemical widely used as an ingredient in sprays and soaps for dogs, cats and other household pets, as well as a house hold insecticide. Now all such uses are prohibited. Unfortunately, the source of rotenone is certain woody plants grown mainly in Malaya and the Netherlands Indies, and our present supplies must be cons, wed for use as a spray for specified food crops. ... A lot of Mrs. Americas, handy with the needle, have been asking ebout putting the cuffs on hubby’s t 'ousers at home. But if you have any such plans, you are breaking the law as much as if you walked off with a necklace from Tiffany’s. The War Production Board order prohibits any person (and the pen alties are severe) fi<om putting cuffs on trousers—that means man ufacturer, retailer, custom tailor and you, the customer’s wife. * • • If you can’t get bananas ifor dessert some evening, it may be be cause they have been used instead to launch a ship for victory. A subchaser recently went down to the sea cn a cushion of seven tons of bananas. With fats and oils in the critical material class, bananas have proved a worthy substitute for greasing the ways. * • • A little insect of northe rn Ind a and your recording of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony have always veen closely connected, but it takes a war to point out how. The principal ingredient of phonograph records is shellac which is refined from the ■esinous substance secreted by tiny insects on the twigs of certain trees. Virtually our sole supply of shellac comes from India. Sc it is not sur prising that record production must be cut 70 per cent and other shellac uses drastically limited. Shellac has many important military uses as well as for marine paints, health supplies and navigation and com munication instruments. As for your future supply of Freddy Martin or Bing Crosby, manufacturers are ex perimenting with substitute mater ials and will also try reclaiming old records. ... In the first concrete war demand made of them, the housewives of America came througTn. Largely hrough their efforts, the crisis in the wastepaper shortage has been passed. Now the urgent need is for scrap rubber. Look around again for old tires, inner tubes, hot water bottles, rubber bath i mats, old rain coats and rubber jar rings. Re- claimed I rulbber has . a big role to play in i winning the ■ war. ♦ * i * One of the oddities of the war is that sterling silver may soon be easier to buy than silverplate. Al- ready cheaper lines of silverplate have been discontinued because copper has been the most common- ly used alloy. Now further use of all base metal alloys is forbidden, A very small amount of alloy metal must also be used for sterl- ing, but. so far. there has been no restriction for this purpose. • « • It will be too bad if you’re aller gic to milkweed 'because you may soon be sleeping on it. It is being tried out as a partial replacement of kapok in pillows, as well as in life preservers and heat-insulating coverings. ... You’ll just have to turn the rug around again and put the most threadbare spot under the sofa. Last week, jute for rug making was further curtailed; this week, wool has been banned entirely for all floor coverings, drapery and up holstery fabrics. Even wool that manufacturers had on hand cannot be put into process. The only bright spot for consumers is that all wool now in production will be permitted to be run through for the civilian market. ... Now your laundryman and dry cleaner are up against it. Just like Mrs. America they won’t be able to get new machinery. AH produc tion of commercial laundry equip ment must stop after June 1, dry cleaning machinery after July I. Manufacturers are not only go ing to stop making radios, they’re also going to discontinue about half cf the radio tubes now on the ,.iar- ket. Moat of these tubes (349 out of 710) are duplicate, obsolete, or small-demand types. Even if your radio uses one of the discontinued types, you need not worry, however, because present stocks are reported adequate for two years, And in many cases, other types may be substituted for those prohibited. • » • Right now you may be walking around on loofa sponges—but not for long. One of the main uses of the loofa plant, grown commercial ly only in Japan, is for inner soles in footwear. Other popular uses ere for household cleaners and scrubbers. From now on, however, the Navy will take, most oif the loofa sponges we have, for use as oil filters. the automobile industry will be According to present indications. comP‘etely converted to war pro duction by September 1.

Almost everyone likes a mystery —almost everyone enjoys the thrilling excitment of tracking down a criminal with an ace de* tective. But some are a little ashamed to admit reading mys- teries. Well - you needn’t be. Maybe you didn’t know that many college professors, bank presidents, great scientists, cap- tain* of industry, even the Pres ident of the United States all like their mysteries. In fact, mil lion* of Americans are reading more mysteries today than ever before. Why? Mainly because these fast-paced, easy-reading stories are both relaxing and re freshing. It is for them—and for you---- that we are publishing Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine Edited by Ellery Queen, famous detective of the radio, the movies, and best-seller books, it is devoted exclusively to the best in detective crime short-stcry literature. And we mean literature. The fact that a story owes its plot to crime and detection need not prevent its being well written. Short detec tive fictior. that is well written is not too readily available.

Such masters as Dashiell Ham- me*t, Ag.'itha Christie, Stuart Palmer and Ellery Queen are to above chart, showing how the average American fared in T HE national Income changes in the last twelve months, is based on the monthly consumers' study of In vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis. Mr. and Mrs. Public in February had a "real income” of $118, or an increase of eighteen cents on the dollar over the same 1941 month. This "real income” Is not a sub traction of cash income and expend tures but an average relative these figures designed to show h living costs affect adjusted incoi dollars. Cash Income of Mr. and Mrs. Public in February was $1.33 tor every $1 a year earlier. This gain of thirty-three cents on the dollar resulted from the following changes per dollar; wages up forty cents, and salaries twenty-one cents; in vestment income was up six cents, and other Income was up forty-four cents on the dollar. Rents In February were up three cents over a year ago. Food was up twenty-two cents, and clothing was up fifteen cents. Miscellaneous Items were twelve cents higher than in February, 1941. be found in it. But stories are selected on their merits not on authors* names.
