HEALTH
Before you blianne
your telephone...
Engineers designed the mouth•
piece of your telephone to give
best results at one-quarter of an
inch from the lips. When your
lips are farther away, than this,
your voice is transmitted less
strongly less clearly.
Failure to remember these
simple facts accounts for the
great majority of "trouble"
reports.
Help avoid needless service
check-ups, and at the same time
let those you talk to hear you
without strain. Just remember:
?'alk clearly, normally, directly
into the telephone, with your

Sugar
Not only is there no surplus of
sugar in .the world today but the pre-
sent supply is insufficient to meet
even essential needs without• strict
rationing. This is the opinion of Sir
William Rook, British sugar control-
ler, as expressed decently during dis-
cussion with the Wartime Prices and
Trade Board.
The sugar supply is short through-
out the world, and this shortage is
not due alone to the lack of shipping
space. "Whatever part shipping has
played 'in the past- in the need for
rationing at present and for some
time to come, ti all essential needs
are to be met, rationing is unavoi,d-
able on supply grounds," Sir William
said.
