That com mon ordinary household pin has n new importance today because of the War Produation Board’s ban on the use of copper and its al loys such as brass and bronze in many civilian articles. Seems that one-third the pins manufactured in 1940 and 1941 were made With brass, and we’re told the remainder of the country’s pins were made of steel, and their production is limi ted.

King Cotton certainly hasn’t been snubbed in the war effort. Cotton is being used for the im portant business of camo-uflage Sand-colored materal helps in dis guising waterfronts. Ammunition in forests can be concealed by some of the designs developed, and some of the others match gravel and field. Besides its use as camou flage cloth, cotton has other war uses such as for sand bags and agricultural bags. Certain percen tages of cotton textile facilities have been ordered converted to military use. Shoppers don’t forget when the maximum price regulation goes in to effect on retail goods May 18, that charges are fixed on indivi dual store levels. Consequently one dealer’s charges for the same ar ticle may be more than that asked across the way. The shopkeeper may charge for each article the highest price he asked during the base period, March of this year. After May 18, stores are required to post the ceiling price of many representative items* SELF-CLEANING PAINTS Research‘chemists have produced self-cleaning house paints, which remove dirt by the action of wind, rain and sun.
