With the coming of mechanized warfare, however, cork has become a critical material and one for which few satisfactory substitutes have been found. Cork now goes to war in many forms. In the army it is used for cartridge plugs, bomb parts, as a cold storage insulation, and in the manufacture of motor vehicles, tanks, airplanes, and numerous other articles essential to the conduct of modem warfare. In the navy it finds th« s^me and many additional uses such as for- life preservers and sweat preventers in undersea craft. Msay Birds Risk Winter - Many birds spend the winter in Canada, despite the 16-hour night in sub-zero weather in the North W o o d s . • tion at its maximum. The key to the situation is that | employers shall have the cash money at hand to change from war manufacture to peace-time activity with the least possible delay when this war ends. Our United States Senate it searching for a plan that will produce maximum revenue to the govt ernment to insure victory; provide a fund at the end of the war bif enough and quickly enough t^j?onvert business and industry from war work to peacetime necessity, but without the government having to borrow and lend the money for this purpose after the war is over. Here Is a Simple, Practical Plan. For the solution of all these ^rofr lems there is one simple plan of out' standing practical value, based on the idea that war profits from all companies, big and little, should be used for this purpose. The tax rate on war profits is figured at about 90 per cent. Business and industry, big and little, would be permitted, however, to deduct from their taxable war profits 29 per cent of such profits, provided the deduction is used to purchase United States Recovery bohds. Recovery bonds would be a sp*> cial kind of bond for this purpose only. Recovery bonds could not be sold or borrowed upon during the war, and neither would they pay any interest. They must be held by the purchaser until the end of the war. The day the war is oyer these bonds would automatically start to bear interest, could be bought and sold, and become the same as any other government bond. The purchaser could sell them or borrow upon them to obtain the money to change his business and plant from war production to peace-time production when and as he needed money tci do this job. Profits for Peace-Time Recovery. In oth er words, business, big oar little, /would be required to contrite ute 20 per cent of its own war profits to provide the t money to change its own plants back to peacetime production.

The tailored trousi rv of this via( ks outfit are of red linen crash. The ensemble is given that coveted touch of femininity by a full-sleeved blouse of frhite silk splashed with exotic flowers in vivid yellows and reds. The sash is of the same daring print. plan is perfectly plain., Each company, by using 20 per cent of its own war profits to buy Recovery bonds, builds its own backlog to bridge from war production to normal peace-time activities. Big companies and small companies will buy in proportion to their size and needs until the war is over. In the meantime, our government receives the maximum in revenue to produce for victory, and we, the people, have established security against the worft depression of all time. With such a plan adopted and in operation, we can all give .our naximum to the war effort, secure in the fact that When the war is over we can quickly and safely go back to the paths of peace. The necessity for such a plan is so apparent, the evils of depression so grim and widespread that we, the people, can well afford to take time out to sup- -fjort our senators and congressmen in this effort to bypass another depression. EUctric cords are made mostly of rubber and topper--two materials that are much in demand these days / Check the electric cords in your home, Ming this guide. Make them last just as long as they were designed to last I HOW TO MAKE CORDS LAST LONGER There are three things that commonly cause your cords to wear out: t FRICTION. When disconnecting, don't yank on the. cord -- take hold of the plug. Never let a cord become twisted or knotted. When not in use, hang-it over two widely separated hooks, so there will be roir WHERE TO LOOK FOR DAMAGED CORDS sharp bend. Nev# run cords under carpets, or nail them to the wall or floor. Be sure they are away from . BWving parts of appliances; m Utaique Coffee Flavor A case in point is the unique flavored Puerto Rican coffee^s compared with that grown in other West Indian islands. All the coffee trees in the Caribbean area are descendants* of a single plant brought to Martinique in 1720 by M. Bagriel Mathieu de Ckeu, a French naval officer, yet the coffee raised in the mountains of Puerto 'Rico has a richness and distinctive flavor found nowhere else i& Jthe world. * j 3ubsoribe for The Plaindealer! 2. HEAT. Keep cords away from radiators or steam pipes. Even direct sunlight will shorten the life of the rubber in a cord. ^ 1 MOISTURE Don't let electric cords get wet. Evenrubber- covered extensions will in time absorb water; liance cords wear most :-j|uickly at the points where die cord enters the appliance and the plug. Check the cords on your lamp "bases, electric fans, irons \ §nd other frequently " moved appliances. WHAT TO DO ABOUT DAMAGED CORDS Never try to push.worn cords out of sight --they should be fixed immediately; Unless you are sure of your repairing skill, call an electrician; He can often re-use most of the old cord, and you know the |ob is done right ! k PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS Service Order -^101 Williams St., dry st&l Lake Telephone Enterprise 4100.
