Oil Investment 1 The declining rate of discovery has persisted in spite of continued reinvestment of capital in maintaining the supply of petroleum. Thus, in the eight-year interval, 1934-1941, based on figures for 30 oil companies, an average of 60 per cent of funds invested in fixed capital assets went into the producing branch of the industry, as compared with 40 per cent invested in all other branches. ' cnange uttea TTnderwear should., be changed often enough to avoid the need for harsh laundering, which shortens the life of textiles. Wash gently in tepid soapy water, with several rinses in clear water of the same temperature. If the weather is freezing, hang the clothes indoors to dry, but don't hang them over the stove or over the radiator. Ironing is unnecessary if the clothes are hung properly. Smooth them with the hand or, in the case of brushed rayons, use a brush lightly to bring back the fluff. Good care will make the garments last longer, and is a wartime "must" for every girl and womaot who wantstodo her part, , Reduces Milk Output Capable of reducing milk production by as much as 20 per cent, mastitis is caused by bacteria that enter the udder through the teat canal. It is spread by contaminated equipment or hands of the milker and dirty barns and yards. It may follow injury to the udder and improper milking. Small clots appear in the milk and, in advanced cases, the milk may become stringy or bloody. Severance Taxi* Help Preserve Stale#' Res&ttfcea Pew marked changes in severance ' tax legislatiorf resulted from 1943 j state legislative sessions, nor were | the laws actually passed indicative j of a uniform trend. One state--Ten- j nessee--enacted a new crude oil ; production tax and another state, Texas, repealed its severance tax on ores, including marble and cinnabar. The Tennessee oil production tax is a privilege tax of five cents for each 50-gallon barrel of crude oil processed or sold, and of 5 per cent of the sales price of any gas J sold. Monthly reports and payments j are to be made, and a fee of $10 per 1,000 feet, or fraction thereof, must j be paid. A state oil and gas board j was established to administer the | tax. j Though severance tax revenues j have accounted for less than 2 per ; cent of all state tax revenues, thie | marked increase in severance tax j yields from 62 to 75 million dollars , between fiscal years 1942 and 1943 j is, significant for the importance of.this form of taxation, especially in the war economy. It is pointed out that severance taxes as a means of protecting or preserving natural raw materials against uneconomical exploitation have an importance for the state and for the national economy as a whole which actually is much greater than the relatively small revenue figures would imply.

Without them, the marines would have had a less varied diet. Other fighting men of the United Nations, and civilians in England, Russia, and in other countries who fight behind the lines look upon powdered eggs as a welcome addition to scanty rations. The space saved in shipping the eggs in powdered form means that a much greater supply of nourishment from this vital food is reaching our soldiers and our allies.
