However, I am fully convinced that when the opportunity to subscribe far War Savings Bonds is made easy and simple that a substantial part of dividends--particularly to the small shareholders can be diverted to these securities under the plan used by the BeUra Manufacturing Company. , By GEORGE PECK On August 3rd the Belden Manufacturing Company of Chicago pio- •eered a plan of furthering the sale af War Bonds.

Corporations which once relied almost exclusively upon high-priced engineers for methods of improving production, now utilize the man at the machine for hunches on speeding output of war weapons, boosting efficiency and reducing scrap. General Motors corporation, which offers workers war bonds and stamps for acceptable tips, received more than 15,000 suggestions during a 60-day period and paid out more than $40,000 in awards to men and women in 33 plants throughout the country. Two GM employees each received the maximum award--a $1,000 war bond. The Packard Motor Car company, building aircraft and marine engines for the army and navy, has .received 4458 suggestions under its "Work to Win" program, 30 per cent of which helped to improve production efficiency. Merit: pins are awarded workers whose ideas are 'accepted by the joint managernent- .labor committee at Packard. i The suggestions which drew- one of the $1,000 war bonds at GM concerned simplification of the machining process on a part for the Allison airplane engine. A third worker suggested and built a machine that has eliminated a bottleneck in the production of a unit used in the fuel supply system of airplanes. President George T. Christopher of Packard said his plant already has adopted 117 worker suggestions for speeding output of war engines. Full protection is given the Packard worker whose suggestion may prove patentable, according to Christopher. Stop Worrying! There's Plenty of Bear Meat HELENA, MONT.--You've been hearing^ about this incipient meat shortage? Well, just in case it comes, nature --assisted by the Federal Fdrestry service--has cached away some emergency rations in the western woods. The annual big game surplus in this area could feed 5,000,000 soldiers for two months without touching the basic herd stock, federal officials estimate'. The Montana surplus could supply 12,300 tons of dressed meat annually, releasing sufficient beef, mutton and pork to feed more than 340,800 soldiers for one month, says Game Warden J. S. McFarrland. This sunylUs represents the normal annual increase in elk, deer, bear and antelope,, and; would leave the herds a* normal size for reproduction. Should an extreme* food emergency arise, McFarlansf figures the herds could be cut in half to release' enough meat fbom Montana alone to feed well over 920,OW soldiers for one month. And there would remain vast untouched flocks of wild1 sheep;, moontain goats, moose, grizzly bear, birds and fish--potential food for thousands more* soldier* ee civilians.

"Married?" The waitress safat she was^ "What's your husband do?" "He works in the embassy." "What's he do: there?" "He's the Ameritean ambassador," the waitress replied. Her inquisitor peked his buddy in the ribs. "That's a good gag/' he roared. "Meet my pal. He's Joe Kennedy." The waitress;, Mrs. John G. Winant, laughed and moved away. In Which Billygoat Is Given, an Assist TAMPA, FLA. -- The ration board now expects most anything when motorists come ih to explain with sheepish grins they lost their gasoline-quota books. But they didn't expect this one: "I was-out feeding my goats, and the book slipped out of my pocket. Before I could grab it, a billygoat ate it." <, " ^ Rather Annoying They Bring Double Trouble To Pair of Dentists. CHICAGO.--There are two young men in Chicago who should meet each other--in front of a mirror. Neither knows the other, but they are so nearly identical in appearance that they are indistinguishable. They learned of each other as a result of a toothache that belonged to ftoger Hutchison, a merchandiser. Hutchison was sitting in his dentist's waiting room when another dentist paused in front of him. "Do you want the keys?" the deini • tist asked. Hutchison looked up at him blankly. "No," he said. The dentist stared for a moment and then with a shrug went into his office. Hutchison soon got to thinking more about the question than the tooth. He tossed asidfe the magazine he'd been trying to read and walked over to the inquiring dentist's office. He stuck his head through the doorway and blurted: "What keys do you mean?" The dentist turned impatiently and replied: "Why, the keys to the of? fice! Don't you want to go to work?" "I can't figure out what you're talking ' about," Hutchison said. "I've come, here to have a tooth filled." A few minutes later Hutchison related the incident to his own denrtist. The dentist nodded knowingly 5 and called a nurse. "Who is this?" he asked, pointing at Hutchison. The nurse, bewildered, replied: "Why, you know Dr. Johnson as well as I do!" While working over Hutchison's tooth, the dentist explained. A few days previously Dr. Merton Johnson, a physician who sometimes works in another office of the suite, had entered the office of Hutchison's dentist. "How's that tooth? the dentist asked him. "Tooth?" said Dr. Johnson. "What tooth?" The dentist was a fittle irritated. "The tooth I've been treating for you, of course." Dr. Johnson looked closely at his \ associate. "My teeth- are sound," he said, "and I think: you should get more sleep." Adventurous Youth Sees Service oir Egypt Front SCHENECTADY, R.

After writing a letter to his girl friend in Seguin, Texas, he enclosed it in an envelope and addressed it to his maiden aunt in Hoboken, N. J. The letter written to his sunt was inserted in another envelope addressed to the girl friend. Result: His girl friend received a "thank you" rote for a delicious layer cake, and his aunt got an invitation to spend two weeks near here. How This Caw Got in Well Still Is Mystery CROMWELL, 0ONN.--Ding-dong bell: Bossy was in the well, but who put her im was not hak so deep a mysteny as how the feat was accomplished!. Superintendent Joseph Bromait of the Swedish Orphanage, found the cow struggling iin 12 feet of water at the well bottom. The cow was hoisted up with a chain and rope sling, but the opening in a heavy iron cover atop the well was so small she eotdd not be squeezed through it. A tractor which pulled away the cover sblved that problem, but not the mystery of how the critter gat down there ia the first place.
