For this reason, antifouling paint is used on the bottom of ships from keel to load line. The anti-fouling paint is applied after a previous coating of anti-corrosive paint. Not only is fuel saved, but the added speed might conceivably enable a ship to Poison Baits Kill Slugs Special poison baits containing metaldehyde are the best means of control for slugs, which cause un- | usual damage to vegetable plants. ; The unusual damage from slugs i is due to abnormally cool, rainy | weather, favorable to the pests. ! Slugs have soft unprotected bodies, j very sensitive to loss of moisture and in warm, dry weather are forced j' to spend most of the time under | ground where they cause little dam- ! age. Slugs are snails without shells. ; The most common kinds are about : one-half to one inch long, dark col- | ored, and soft and slippery to the j touch. They feed at night and on I cloudy, rainy days and leave a shiny I film of mucous secretion of "slime" j wherever they go. They attack young tender plants of all kinds, eating ragged holes in the leaves, and often cutting of! the stems of smaU plants much as cutworms do.

Gas provides die accu- IMt, uniform heat which it >o vital in thi» operation. American industry, faced with an inadequate supply of brass for the production of shell cases, has solved the problem by developing a method of using steel in place of brass. And in this ingenious process Gas plays a vital role. Gas provides the precise heat needed in the first operation of making the small, stubby steel cups. After eacfci draw, in which these cups are stretched into the length and .shape of 55 mm. shell cases, .the cups must be annealed. Gas provides the accurate temperatures to do the job. Easily controllable, Gas heat is used for the exacting jnouth anneal operation. Again, this vital fuel is called for in baking the shell coating. * Yes, Gas plays an essential part in the .production of Steel shell cases as well as hundreds of other war materials. And we are ever conscious of this in fulfilling our task of supplying Gas to the war production plants in this area. @os has gone to WWdon't waste it I WBSTKmW PMlTEP^OASrJIWP ELECTBIC COMPANY * [Supplylngustntialstrvict for Vat Pnatution in this ana F^VICTOKr BUY UNITED STATES ,WAR BONDS
