WASHINGTON - American lawmakers, harried by problems of how to increase taxes and when to collect them, might glean some ideas .from Basutoland in South Africa j., paving just rounded out 75 years| under British protection, Basutoland j ^ has added a war tax to aid Britain's^ cause to the several taxes and li- j i cense fees that keep this home of •00,000 farmer-tribesmen free of na- • . tional debt. -The new tax was levied v' .|>y decree of Mantsebo, .the para-; .^ount chieftainess of the territory's ¥;-^nany tribes. .• • - .„ • • • • • " : ' ' -j [«J;: Half as large as West Virginia, ! fJasutoland is much more mountain- i "'.'••Ous, says a National Geographic .Kjipciety bulletin.

There is no industry of importance other than farming , . and stock raising. Much of the agriculture is carried on common land allotted to workers by tribal chiefs. Basutoland fell short of balancing its budget in 1941 for the first time in many years. But builtup reserves were then equal to half a year's expense^ of government^ and kept the territory safely "in the j black." , ;:•( Wives No. 2 and 3 Taxed. B.asutoland taxes every adult male native. If a man has more than one wife, he must annually pay 25 shillings each on wives No. 2 and No. 3, but wives No. 4 and up are tax free. The 1943 war levy, recognizing : different abilities to pay, starts at 10 shillings for ordinary mortals and scales up to 100 shillings for tribal ; chiefs. Maize, wheat, and Kaffir-corn are staple foods raised and consumed by the Basutos. Two million sheep and goats and 500,000 cattle, herded on steep mountain pasture land, contribute wool, leather and dairy products to South Africa's export volume, giving Basutoland welcome revenue from its tiny share of the BONUS oven AMEKICA * *. * "If they mean to have war, let it begin here," Capt.

In appearance, at least, the truck of the future will differ but little from today's designs, according to engineers. Trucks are designed to carry a given load within a dejinite space, and a cube is still the tx;st bet when it comes to getting the most merchandise within the smallest area. This fact alone will keep truck entertained by singing. Raymond Wymer will visit his fMilr* ents October 9, 1943.

Needs of the armed forces and our allies threaten to deplete stocks of material for work garments, towels, sheets and napery unless extreme care is taken to preserve present supplies. Among the rules recommended by linen suppliers for any time are: Avoid all stains to tablecloths by putting smaller portions on plates and sitting closer to the table; use bedspreads to protect bed linens and blankets; dry towels before putting them in the clothes hamper. This prevents transfer of stains, mildew and incubation of disease germs. If you wear a work uniform, be sure you get the right size. Illfitting garments are torn easily; don't hang uniforms or dresses on nails. Use hangers; den't use towels for wiping sinks, stoves, furniture, machinery; remove nail polish and lipstick with facial tissue, not towels. Wash and rinse your hands thoroughly before using a towel; wash your brow before you mop it. Perspiration injures fabric, water doesn't; don't wipe razors and other sharp instruments oa towels; don't pull bath towels back and fortk across your body. This weakens fabric in center.

THIS LETTER asks die cooperation of the power industry and its customers in s broad effort to release critical resources for wu purposes. It was accompanied by requests from the Office of War Utilities for conservation of electricity by commercial, industrial and residential users. We are asking all of our customers to cooperate with us in this program, and we will be pleased to assist them wherevW possible to meet its objectives. The program is not intended to reduce lighting in building entrances, interiors and hallways below levels consistent with public safety -- nor should lighting for industrial plant protection be reduced. Light for reading or working should be maintained at levels consistent with eyesight conservation. £ . . This Company is glad to do its part ffi&his nation-wide plan of the War Production Board for the conservation of critical resources. /SUMMARY OF THE VOLUNTARY CONSERVATION PROGRAM REQUESTED BY THE OFFICE OF WAR ummes Commercial and industrial establishments have been given requests from th* Office of War Utilities for conservation in the use of electricity for-- Imdoer and eutdtcr advertising, ptvmttnmml and display sign lighting-- Decorative and ornamental lighting, including dmratit<e fUod lighting-- Sbtw window lighting which dm *** provide essential interior illumination-- Lighting of marquees (other than advertising signs) and building entrances -- lighting of outdoor business establishments•» General interior illumination and jhow out lighting. ...r¥. , " In addition to these requests, general conservation in unnecessary use of electricity has been ' asked of all commercial, industrial and residential. users. Among these are less reduction in temperature and relative humidity in air conditioning, elimination of waste in use of various electric appliances such as refrigerators, ranges, space heaters, water heaters and reduction in use of white way street lighting to lower levels consistent with public safety. It is pointed out that in order to conserve critical materials used in the manufacture of light bulbs, the desired reduction in lighting should be obtained primarily by turning off lights which are not necessary rather than by substituting lower wattage lamps. Lamp bulbs should not be replaced until completely burned out. Likewise, no effort is being made to curtail necessary military, aviation and police lighting, ' lighting essential to public health, including eyesight conservation and safety, plant protection, transportation and production purposes. As outdoor recreational activities are considered essential for wartime morale, the use of electric energy necessary for this purpose is not being discouraged, although such economies are urged as can be achieved pairment of function, • ; o o *a Employ Women In the Midwest war production region, 2,200 war plants reported a <9 per cent increase within six months roughage than was required for the j in the employment of women workpork. | ers.
