C' Jar Rubbers Are Different This Year V N It is now thotight that red rubber will be avail^ble for jar rings this year but there will be no cause lor alarm if the rubbers you buy turn out to be black. It is the rubber, not the color, that counts. True, you may be a bit startled when you open your first package of the war models. "But what of it?" . asks Gladys Kimbrougtt, Home Service Director of Ball Brothers Company. "Our grandmothers got along well enough with lipless rubbers andt so can we." • Months ago. manufacturers began experiments to learn how to make jar rings that would conserve both rubber and food--the government set its scientists to the same task. a a „ . „_„an o One of the first things upon which ^ ^ p, all agreed was that lips are unneces- Colyer of this village is lying dangersary for opening jars.

Patterson, undersecretary Of war, reported. At the same time,. Mr. Patterson said, the shops S'hd arsenals produced 419,000 bomb3 of all sizes, up to the blockbusters, which have been shattering enemy-occupied im dustrial regions. He estimated that that was enough for raids in which 15,000 bombs could be dropped each night for nearly a month. In addition, he said in reporting that armament production is 300 per cent higher than a year ago, industry "hung up a new record" for small arms ammunition in February. That record consisted of 1,244,000,000 cartridges in calibers .30, .45 and .50, or more than 500 every second during the month. . Machine gun and tank production also is jumping, Mr. Patterson said. In January and February 150,000 machine guns and 134,000 sub-ma? chine guns were turned out, while 5,000 tanks were rolling off assembly lines. This compared with production of 132,000 machine guns of all calibers in the first World war. Other production figures for the January-February period included: 28,000 army trucks, 2,000 anti-tank guns; 5,000,000 pairs of marching shoes, and in February alone, 7,800 weapon-bearing combat vehicles. Mr. Patterson noted that the 1943 production program called for $57,- 000,000,000 worth of arms, ammunition, supplies and installations. 1 "We will meet that figure," he said. - Native Advertisements Prey On Gullible Public; Use 'High* Pressure Tactics.

And to show he is still a fighter at ; 60, Sergeant de Pineres has passed a rigid physical examination qualifying him for service overseas. The dapper Spaniard was born into an aristocratic Colombian family, but fled to the United States when a revolt in which he participated failed. His medals include the Croix de Guerre with two palms, the Older of the Purple Heart, the good conduct medal, the Mexican campaign medal, the Colombian Croix de Boyain and--. "I don't wear the rest," he explained, "because people stare und I feel like a store window dummy."

Radio Moscow said they had received Premier Stalin's permission to take their tank to the front and fight it. CAIRO.--One of the first thing: that delight an American soldier on arrival in Egypt are the signs dis^ played by shops and restaurants. They are fitting introduction to the wonders of the East, says the Associated Press. A refumery at the Cairo Bazaar for example, bears the inscription "Mohammed Aly. A dealer in Oriental Odours." A restaurant announces in big black letters: "Eat Here And You Will Not Regret It. English Cooking by Your Greek Allies." & One sign reads: "Joe's Investigation Service. Member of Society of Detectives. Inquiries. Pursuits. Investigations. Burglary. Fires. Accidents. Give us a trial." •' And a tobacco shop bears this placard: "Twin X cigarettes. When half smoked they explode. Very amusing." ; ; j A barber advertises: "Gentlemen^ and Ladies hair cut and ironed." One barber, incidentally, will make you a false beard from the hair, he ^m^gff your head, at a small extra charge. j Subscription Haircuts. Cairo barbers also sell subscriptions, payable in advance. They range from the ordinary eight-piastre- a-month subscription, which entitles the bearer to two haircuts monthly, all the way to the 150- piastre de luxe special, which gives the customer the right to unlimited haircuts, shaves, manicures, singes, massages and anything else either he or the barber can think of. Several of Cairo's innumerable native guides have produced guide books in English--an achievement more ambitious than grammatical. One starts: "Here is this ancient Egypt land of the Nile and Pyramids as well as spinkses and temples is so many things to see. The first rule is to take no other guide but only, me as other guides are dangerous. If I am busy that 'day I will get you good guide. "I will not only show you all the interesting things to see, but also tell you all the mysteries, the mysteries that nobody else knows. I will show you where Moses was found in bullrushes. I know the very spot. I also drive automobiles, having license, and if preferred can rent you camel. I charm snakes. I am archeol6gist. I also have remedies for all disises and can sell you scarabs from ancient tombs of the kings at prices which are the lowest." One curio shop advertises in letters several feet high: "Coronation robes for royalty." Application for a Job. The Associated Press in Cairo re- =ceived the following application: "Dear Sirs: I am applying to employment with your distinguished ! Company as stenodactyl. I haveJ been diplomaed three times. I am I Syrian by originality, a Christian by ' fate and very skilful in counting j numbers and writing books. As you j see, my English is perfect. I also speak and write perfect French, i Arabic and Italian and have some I notions of Greek." A cafe bears the sign: "Excellent intoxicating beverages special for His Britannic Majesty's Forces at regulated prices." Another, with amazing candor, described one of its drinks as "an* artificial stimulant made of synthetic alcohol iand imitation flavor." A brand of American-type cigarettes manufactured in Egypt bears a notice on each package that "these cigarettes are guaranteed free from ingredients." • , . --' Fa m iHes washed cpo^io! rates," is the pledge of a laundry. In Egypt a Sand Witch is not a vision seen in the desert but rather "• piece of meat between two pieces of bread. It's all very funny, but in fairnessto the authors of the signs it must be said that if the soldiers were to attempt to write in Arabic the re-, suit would be just as funny to the Egyptians, ^ • i .>.* . ] ^ f if *" CHURCH SERVICEI St. Mary's Catholic Chartit Masses: Sunday: 7:00, 8?30, 10:00, 11:30.
