Today, he continues, the proportion of meat sold in frozen
form is exceedingly small-something like one-half of one per
cent of the total. But new and swift-moving developments
are underway. Some 100 companies now produce frozen
meats. Leading packers, after localized experiments, are ex-
panding their operations.
There is considerable difference of opinion as to how fast
•frozen meat sales will increase-and what percentage of the
total they will reach in the foreseeable future. Some think
that they may amount to a third of all meat sold at retail in
ajfew years—others are much more conservative. But all seem
convinced that a major trend is in the making.
Mrs. American has long been demanding better foods-
and foods prepared and processed to provide a maximum of
convenience. Frozen meat is another example of how indus-
try meets her wishes.
HEADACHE REMEDY DUE
John D. Morris of the New York Times reports: “Congress
appears likely to prescribe for some of the taxpayer’s most
annoying headaches next year by over-hauling the long-
neglected excise tax system.”
Mr. Morrie describes a few of the absurdities that are
now part of the excise-tax set-up. One example is a bowling
ball bag—which is taxable as luggage as 10 per cent if space
is provided for carrying bowling shoes, but isn’t taxed other-
wise. To take another, after-shave lotions are taxable as toliet
articiles-while before-shaving lotions and oils are tax-free un-
less recommended for after-shave use. To take a third, an
automobile windshield is taxable of the installer buys it ready
made—but it’s tax-free of he cuts the glass in his own shop.
As revenue producers, the excise taxes don’t amount to
much. But they can be a significant item to the consumer who
needs the many items in daily use which are subject to the
tax. They undoubtedly discourage consumption at the expense
of production and employment in the affected enterprises.
They are a real expensive burden on the nation’s retailers,
who must try to cope with endless red-tape, and conflicting
rulings and opinions. That expense, like all others, must ul-
timately be paid for by the buying public.
Finally, most of these taxes were emergency war
measures, just as were transportation discouraging taxes. It
was generally believed that they would disappear when the
war ended. The overhauling which Mr. Morris forecasts is
certainly due.

Whether idling at curbside or cruising, this
new Chevrolet talks in a well-mannered
whisper. You scarcely ever hear more than
a soft undertone of power from its deep-
chested V8. (One reason is the hydraulic-
hushed valve lifters now in all Chevrolet
engines—V8 or 6.)
Soft-spoken, yes—but this handsome
traveler packs a wallop that ranges up to
205 h.p.! It’s charged with sheer action!
Action that can save you precious seconds
for safer passing on the highway! Action
that lets you take steep hills in stride!
Action that helps you zoom out of trouble
spots almost as quickly as they develop!
? IF
And action isn’t all. Chevy holds the road
like part of the pavement! .You feel added
assurance in the way it clings to curves.
Of course, Chevrolet brings you the
security of safety door latches in all models.
Instrument panel padding and seat belts,
with or without shoulder harness, are
offered at extra cost. !
Come in and drive a new Chevrolet. We’ve
got one ready and waiting for you.

Visible proof of the earth’s rotation is shown by a Foucault pen-
dulum presented to the United Nations Headquarters recently by
the Netherlands Government. It consists of 200-pound gold-plated
sphere suspended by 57-foot stainless steel wire from ceiling of
entrance lobby in General Assembly Hall. As earth rotates, sphere
swings back and forth over a magnet, the plane of swing shifting
slowly clockwise so that complete cycle is made every 36 hours
and 45 minutes. Pendulum is named after French physicist Jean
Bernard Foucault who used the pendulum in 1851 in Pantheon
at Paris to demonstrate that the earth revolves on its axis.

THE X-RAY HOLDS THE KEY
People are sometimes critical because, on entering a hos-
pital for treatment of a specific ailment, they are required to
take a chest x-ray. To the layman, this may seem a needless
'"bother and expense.
Writing in Today’s Health, a publicaton of the American
Medical Association, David S. Goodman explains the truth of
the matter. He says: “The next time you go to the hospital
with an infected toe, don’t be surprised if you must have a
chest x-ray .... An infected toe may be painful and quite
real to you, but unfortunately, many of our most deadly
diseases—tuberculosis, cancer and heart ailments—may exist
and grow within us to an alarming extent without the slight-
est warnings signs. If doctors could find them early, they
could nip them in the bud. . . .the x-ray film often holds the
key to what becomes of each patient.” Mr. Goodman then
cites a list of typical case histories, in which routine x-ray
disclosed unsuspected serious disorders, and permitted treat-
ment in time. '
Modern medicine. American style, is not only concerned
with handling physical troubles whose symptoms are plain. It
is designed, as well, to prevent disease—or, failing that, to
detect it at the earliest possible moment.
