Wabash Scrap Program Heavy A force of mechanical axes, bull dozers, tampers and track wrenches has taken up the slack of manpower on the Wabash railroad. These and other products of research conducted by the road have cut down the man-hour requirement, and enabled it to return approximately 2.400,000 pounds of salvage material to stock last year, I.

C. Bon, superintendent of the scrap and reclamation departments, said today. Battered ends of rail on main line tracks can now be built up by a new type of portable machine. The rail is built up, rehardened and reground to original dimensions without taking up the track. Ends Had Accumulated "This process is accomplished without causing the slightest delay in transportation" Mr.

Bon explained "In years past the rail was taken up and replaced. Battered ends were sawed off in lengths of one or two feet. This waste was thrown on the scrap pile which was swelled annually by several hund-ed tons of worn ends." All critical material and supplies are on an exchange basis; that is. an old item has to be turned in in exchange for a new one. This, Mr.

Bon said, has brought an appreciable decrease in issues from 25 to 50 per cent on most items. Through a thorough study on elimination, designing and specifications, and substitution of critical materials, the engineering and reclamation departments of the bash estimated that 5,000 pounds of aluminum used each year could be eliminated. Steel castings. have been substituted for brass on some locomotive parts. increasing the savings of brass in tons.

and eliminating the use of non-ferrous metals, brass, copper, lead and tin. Axles Reclaimed Axles, both car and locomotive scrap, are hammered into billets and used in new forgings. Bolts and track spikes are some of the smallest item. but are among the most essential. They are recovered by special methods and re-used, saving hundreds of tons of new steel, the superintendent explained.

"Castings and other non-available materials that are broken and worn, are built up or welded by autogenous methods, refinished machining, prolonging service life for months or years," he added. By splicing and special clamping devices, every inch and ounce of rubber is being utilized, as far as possible. In the past rubber insul- a ation on copper wire was burned Today, it is recovered by a special stripping machine. A special automatic stripping machine salvages zinc, another essential metal, from containers for flash light and telephone dry cell batteries, which the railroad purchases in lots of thousands.

with the collector of internal revenue in this district. Persons wilfully failing to file their returns in time are subject to a penalty of not more than $10,000 fine or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both. and, in addition, 5 to 25 per cent of the tax amount. Most of Tire Recaps Must Use Old Tubes Old tubes must be used again in at least 80 per cent of the cases where grade three passenger tires have been authorized by the rationing board. Harry Proctor, chairman of the tire rationing panel, announced today.

The type of rubber necessary to manufacture tubes is not available. and it is impossible to supply a large enough quota to issue new tubes for all truck and passenger tires or recaps, he explained. More new tubes will be furnished to applicants who are authorized to receive new tires, because used tubes are usually too large to fit into new tires. Carter Jenkins, state Office of Price administration director. announced that all trucks must use recaps or used tires on rolling wheels and spares to conserve old tire bodies.

On a six-wheel truck. this will mean that new tires will be considered only for the drive wheels. and the truck will be equipped with recaps or used tires on the other wheels and This ruling will provide a 40 per cent usage cf recaps or used tires, which should be a minimum usage. Persons eligible for grade one tires who wish to secure grade three tires may return their grade one certificates to the rationing board in exchange for a grade three certificates, Mr. Proctor said.

The same procedure applies to persons holding grade two certificates who wish to purchase grade three tires. This change in type of purchase must be done through the rationing board, Mr. Proctor warned. Dealers are nct permitted to transfer grade three-tires in exchange for other certificates. The Consumers Service Station, 505 North Main street.

has been appointed as a technical passenger tire inspection station, and Coryell Son station. 598 East North street, is authorized to make periodic inspections, Mr. Proctor said. Mrs. Mary Roderick Dies; Funeral Tuesday Funeral services for Mrs.

The Government restriction on slicing of bread by baking concerns.

is a necessary wartime measure, according to Claude R. Wickard, secretary of agriculture. The convenience of sliced bread. like many others before it, disappeared from the American scene today by direct Government order. Now only bread coming in loaves of two pounds or larger may be sliced and sold by bakers, and these only to restaurants, hotels, commissaries, and institutions using the bread with meals.

No sliced bread or rolls may be sold to grocers or consumers. Decatur bakers, giving a few hints on the art of uniform slices. suggest that a sharp knife is of first importance. Lay the loaf on its side, with the top crust toward you. Use a gentle motion with Final Warning In Draft Hunt Four men.

and never apply pressure. With a sawing motion, the eye trained on the exact point which is the object of the cutting process, and an attitude of patience, housewives should regain this lost art. It is understood that the restriction on sliced bread will save neither time, labor, nor vital war materials. When bread is sliced the loaf goes through one process of slicing and wrapping, the machine being operated by the same workman. The head containing the knives will be removed from the machine, but no labor will be saved.

There has been much speculation regarding the use to which the discarded slicing parts of the machine will be put. One suggestion is that restaurants may purchase their own machines should a restriction be put on sale of sliced bread to them within the next 60 days. as bulletins now indicate. W. J.
