Vitamin C can be bought for $1.65 an ounce. Vita-
min B-1 dropped from $300 per gram in 1935 to
$7.50 per gram in 1937 when the synthetic prod-
uct was introduced. Now the price is 53 cents a
gram and vitamin-enriched flour, bread and other
food products are aiding to maintain public
health.
The miracle of synthetic vitamins is a story of
American scientific ingenuity and ability, but
cheap vitamins are the result of the public de-
mand for these products. So long as vitamins
were a laboratory curiosity or were used only for
experimentation, the high price was of little con-
sequence. but when the value of these vitamins to
public health was proved, science found a way to
make vitamins cheap and plentiful The same has
been true of a great many other products of
American industry. Something is developed and
•ells at a high price. Gradually, as demand in-
creases and production technique improves, the .
price is lowered, the quality is improved and more
people buy and use these products.
Advertising and selling, as well as the expert
scientists and production men, are the agencies
which make products both good and cheap. Peo-
ple don’t buy things for Which they have no use,
no matter how good or cheap they may be. Ad-
vertising and selling arouse the latent desire in
the minds of the public to buy, and the result is

TIRES IN AMERICAN ECONOMY
EIROM the way some folks in Washington talk,
F one might readily believe that the chiefuse
the people have for automobile tires is to
ride around upon them and have a good time.
There is blithe talk about the time when there
will be no more tires available for civilian use.
Just as if that would not mean anything particu-
larly in the life of the nation, or its war effort.
It is evident that some of those who are un-
dertaking to run affairs for us are afflicted with
the hangover from the days when an automobile
was considered just a pleasure car for the rich.
To base present-day policy on such an outmoded
conception of the place of the automotive vehicle
in the economy of the United States at the pres-
ent time is to invite disaster to many lines of
business and a weakening of the source of fi-
nancial strength for the support of the war as
actually to jeopardize victory.
No one will deny that a saving in tire mileage
can be effected without doing serious harm to
business. It is even true that the buying public
has been spoiled in the matter of frequency and
promptness of delivery of purchases since deliv-
ery came to be almost wholly by automotive ve-
hicle. There is room for curtailment of delivery
service, and, indeed, of all commercial transporta-
tion by automobile. Use of more brains in trans-
portation will result in the use of less gasoline
and rubber. -- '
Nevertheless, modem business, in large meas-
ure, is built on wheels shod with rubber tires.
No sudden change can come in that foundation
without risking the stability of business. And
some of our Washington economists to the con-
trary notwithstanding, this government cannot
stand and this war cannot be won unless business
generally be kept in condition whether it can pay
the taxes that are required to finance the war
effort.
If only this truth could be gotten into the
thinking of the planners in Washington! The
taxes that support government, in one way or an-
other, come from business. The first principle of
sound economics is that you cannot lift yourself
by your own bootstraps.
The delay in getting started on production of
synthetic rubber, we- are told, is due to squabbling
between various interests, farm interests which,
want the rubber made from grain products; oil
interests which want it made from petroleum
products, and rubber interests with plantations
in the Far East which do not want it made at all,
for fear it will be in competition with their for-
eign-grown product after the war.
As the tires wear thinner, the patience of the
people with this sort of thing will wear equally
thin.
If something is not under way to relieve the
rubber shortage in a substantial manner by the
time of the election this fall, it is going to be
too bad for some gentlemen up for reelection.
It has been demonstrated that synthetic rub-
ber can be produced. When the people of the
United States get sufficiently fed up with the
tosses and inconveniences of the tire shortage, it
is safe to say that rubber will be coming through.

wrote it because she got tangled up
in it—she had put in many months
on a novel of the period before she
changed her mind and started
“Paul Revere.”
She didn’t think the book would
make money, and when her digni-
fied Boston publishers (Hough-
ton Mifflin) wrote her they would
spend $10,000 on advertising she
went to bed with a headache. She
used to work for them, and
thought they’d lost their heads.
Then the sages of the Book-of-
the-Month Club met. Miss Forbes
knew they were meeting, and in-
stead of driving from her Worces-
ter, Mass., home to Harvard (also
Massachusetts) to get some ap-
ples, she pretended she was tired
and took to bed. She was afraid
to confess that she was waiting
for a call.

HOLDING TAXES DOWN
NF a single tax rate increase so far has
- V been indicated for any of the seventy-
one counties that comprise East Texas,
according to a survey made by the East
"texas cn amber of Commerce. Instead,
reduced tax appropriations will character-
ize the new 1943 budgets now being pre-
pared.
Assessed valuations will not be much
changed, according to the regional cham-
ber’s preliminary check. Wood county
will show probably the largest per cent of
increase in valuations, due to oil That
county’s tax rate is tentatively scheduled
at $1.25, 20 cents below the figure for this
year.
Harrison county plans to set its same
low county tax rate of 60 cents. Hunt
county’s 65 cent rate is expected to be
maintained. Collin and Ellis counties rates
will remain at 47 cents, although road
districts in those counties whose rates
may rise in a few instances may bring
the county-road district rate up for some
taxpayers.
County tax rate decreases are expected
for Red River, Fannin, Lamar, Nacog-
doches, and Brazos counties.
Payment in full of state aid on county
and road district debt for another year has
been unofficially agreed to following re-
cent conferences between the state board
of county district road indebtedness and
the County Judges and Commissioners As-
sociation of Texas. This will relieve ad
valorem taxpayers of a terrific property
tax load for another year.
County Auditor A. E. Sutton, Palestine,
voices the feeling of many in his recom-
’ mendation that Texas counties “Cut out
non-essential spending everywhere and
win this war;” and similar advice from
County Judge Richard Spinn of Brenham
is to “Cut out all expenditures except
those absolutely necessary.”

TRAFFIC DEATHS DECRASE
A REPORT from the Texas Department
H of Public Safety shows there were
fewer traffic deaths in Texas in the first
six months of 1942 than during any simi-
lar period since accurate records were
started in 1938.
For the halfyear, Texas recorded a flat
20 per cent reduction in traffic fatalities,
from 863 in the 1941 period to 689 this
year.'
Nationally, the reduction was 11 per
cent for the first five months. The six-
month average has not yet been an-
nounced.
As the Texas Hghway Traffic Advisory
committee’s conservation program began
to make noteworthy progress in June,
deaths fell to 104 as compared to 151 for
June of 1941.

about it”
"Go om."
“I told her you’d get sore too.”
"Never mind that. What were
you doing for them?”
Fenner cocked a brow at him.
"Ordinarily a client’s rights have
to be protected—”
"Oh, sure,” Murdock said dis-
gustedly.
«__but this time it’s okay. Joyce
knew you’d find me here, so she
said I’d better tell you the whole
thing." ..
“Well, that’s big of you both.
"I knew you’d get sore.”
“I’m not sore but—”
“You want me to tell it or not?
Fenner waited; when he saw he
wouldn’t be interrupted he said:
- “The way I get it is this ...”
At first, as Fenner began to un-
fold the story, Murdock’s reac-
tion was one of resentment, but
as the details began to pile up the
feeling of resentment gave way to
one of worry. He had known, of
course, that Joyce had been anx-
ious about Ward Allen and Delia
Stewart, but he’d had no idea that
she would actually involve herself
in the investigation without telling
a him.
Actually he had had no opin-
ion on the murder at all. He had
been so busy he’d had no time to
think about it. But when he heard
what had happened that night a
feeling of alarm and dismay came
over him. It was impossible now
to ignore the threat of danger to
Delia—and Joyce.
"This Hardacker was a private
dick?” he asked when Fenner had
finished. "Do the police know who
he was working for?”
"They win.” Fenner said. "They
were trying to contact the girl that
works for him when we left.”
“Was he the man who hired the
apartment across the hall from
Clarke?”
•"They don’t know that yet
either.”
"How was Bacon?”
"Burning.”
Enter Joyce
Fenner reached for the bottle of
Scotch. He poured a little in his
glass, added water. “You?” he
asken. ~ “ *
Murdock shook his head. *TH get
a beer in a minute,” he said, and
his face was sombre and grooved
with wrinkles at the brow.
For some minutes he sat there
trying to recall the things that
Hestor had told him in an effort
to see how they fitted the story
he had just heard. The result was
a merry-gorround of thought and
when he found no satisfactory

roads, 14 per cent.
Arrests and warnings by the Highway
patrol increased 22.5 per cent over last
June, from 18,327 to 22,460..
This information, based on accurate
records, should come as welcome news to
every citizen of Texas. It reflects the
results of a sustained drive to instill the
need for more careful driving, as well as
more cautious walking, on the highways,
rural roads and streets.
Safety pays big dividends. Congratu-
lations to the men and women who are giv-
ing traffic safety such patriotic devotion!

GAINESVILLE WILL get a
sample Sunday of what the close
proximity of Camp Howze will
mean in a few months from now.
More than 2,500 soldiers will
camp on the military reservation
for the day, and during their off-
hours, it is probable that most of
the men will be downtown.

Smack in the middle of the
double bed lay Jack Fenner, both
pillows under his hand and his
face turned towards the windows.

Scotch, half full.
“Well, how do you like that?”
Murdock said aloud.
Nothing happened. He walked
around the foot of the bed. Fen-

He held it under Fenner’s nose.
Fenner stirred, muttering soft-

one eye; then he opened both and
turned over on his back.
Without' a word he reached for
the bottle. Murdock put it back
on the table. Fenner sighed loud-
ly and grinned.
"It was a swell dream,” he said.
"All about a robbery in a distil-
lery.”
"Nute," Murdock said. “You
were playing possum.”
- "Ho-hum,” said Fenner,’ stretch-

"After three.”
"My, my.”
Fenner reached for a cigarette
and lit it, propping the pillows
behind him. Murdock began to
undress and his grin went away. .
A soberness came upon his face
and trouble touched his eyes, for
he could. no longer pretend that
Jack Fenner was merely here as
an overnight guest. '
.“What’s up. Jack?”
“I guess they wanted a man
in the house. We got in a little

Then came the German invasion
of Crete. Now there are 27 army
training stations for glider pilots.
There’s a new army rating for men
who earn their wings in motor-

where potential glider pilots are
given the same kind of training
that non-combat flyers get.
