nounces changes in terms of
: Treasury Tax Saving Notes, which
: have been on sale since August
1, 1941, for the convenience of
taxpayers and which are receiv-

ment of cash balances which are
at present idle. This new series
of Treasury Notes, the Secretary
said, will furnish a security well
adapted to corporations and other
investors for the mobilization of
their idle funds for the War pro-
gram. The new terms provide
greater flexibility, and, through
provision for cash redemption
with interest, permit holders of
Tax Series C notes to realize on
the notes without loss of interest.
Members of the Victory Fund
Committee in the twelve Federal
Reserve Districts, with a trained
securties sales personnel, will
participate actively in the sale of
the new Tax Savings Notes. Each
Federal Reserve District Com-
mittee is headed by the President
of the Federal Reserve Bank of
the District. Members of Victory
Fund Committees, as well as
bankers and secureties salesmen
generally, will have complete in-
formation and application forms
and will assist taxpayers and
other investors desiring to pur-
chase these notes.
The notes of Tax Series A-1945,
like those of prior Series A notes,
are intended primarily for the
small taxpayer. The new notes
will be dated September 1, 1942,
and will mature September 1,
1945, thus providing a maturity
of three rather than two years
from issue date. The limitation
on the principal amount that may
be presented on account of any
one taxpayer’s liability for each
class of taxes (income, estate or
gift) for each taxable period has
been raised from $1,200 to $5,000.
The new limitation will also ap-
ply to prior Tax Series A-1943
and A-1944, or to any combina-
tion of the three series. In other
respects the terms of notes of Tax
Series A-1945 remain the same as
those of A-1944. Interest will ac-
crue (from September 1942) at
the rate of 16 cents per month per
$100, equivalent to a yield of
approximately 1.92 percent per
annum. The notes will be issued
at par and accrued interest. If
not presented in payment of tax-
es, the notes will be redeemed
at the purchase price only, either
at or before maturity, without
advance notice. The notes will
be available in the denominations
of $25, $50, $100, $500, $1,000 and
$5,000.
The new notes of Tax Series
C will be dated as of the first
day of the month in which pur-
chased, will mature three years
thereafter, and they will be is-
sued at par. Interest on the
notes will accrue each month
from month of issue, on a gra-
duated scale, the equivalent yield
if held to maturity being ap-
proximately 1.07 per cent per
annum.

Military Tires
Made Entirely Of
Synthetic Gum
One of America’s big tire wor-
ries, the need of natural rubber
in all synthetic tires, has been
eased, and possibly solved, by
two chemical discoveries.
“First, military tires, which
means the strongest possible kind
of tire, are being made out of
the Du Pont company’s neoprene
synthetic rubber, without adding
a drop of natural rubber, not
even in the bead of the tire. So
far as known, this is the first
tire in the world to be made com-
pletely of synthetic.
The other discovery, from the
American Cyanamid and Chemi-
cal Corporation, is that, where j
natural rubber has to be added to
make a synthetic tire, guayule,
the Mexican and American bush
rubber, takes only half as much
for the job as the hevea tree,
which up to now is the source
of all natural rubber use.
Importance Emphasized
So much natural rubber was
required with the synthetic, up
to 40 per cent of all the rubber
in a tire, that this drain might
have broken down the Ameri-
can rubber supply even with
success of the synthetic program.
The importance of the Du Pont
discovery was indirectly empha-
sized by the Baruch committee
report when it stated that “neo-
prene is the one synthetic rubber
which has been shown to be the
full equivalent in quality of nat-
ural rubber for combat and hea-
vy-duty tires, either by itself or
in combination with buna S.”
Buna S is the butadiene rub-
ber which is the major part of
the synthetic program. How
much natural rubber will have
to be added finally to this synthe-
tic to make good military tires
depends on the miracle-working
abilities of American chemists.
Until this year, Du Pont’s neo-
prene required addition of na-
tural rubber. But in eight months
of war the Du Pont chemists
not only have solved the prob-

FORMERLY-Each farmer carried his cream to
town as suited his convenience
Officials of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture and the Office of De-
fense Transportation see in the cur-
rent tire scarcity a serious threat
to the quality of milk, cream, and
other produce marketed by farmers.
The danger lies in the tendency to
less frequent marketing, with longer
holding on the farm and consequent
spoilage or lowering of grade.
The spirit of neighborly helpful-
ness traditional among farmers
promises a way out, however, and
plans for the pooling of cream and
produce deliveries are being encour-
aged by our government. This spirit
already is manifest in a number of
states where groups of farmers are
arranging to take turn-about in the
use of their cars or trucks for milk
and cream deliveries and the haul-
ing of supplies back from town.
Where before five cars from a given
locality might have been seen on the
road to town, each carrying a can
or two of cream, today one departs,
carrying the combined load of five
farmers’ cream. The result is a
saving of no mean proportions. Six-
teen tires have been spared the wear
Japan Forces
Destruction Of
Masonic Works
After an existence of more
than half a cenutry in Japan,
Freemasonry has been stricken
down by the military of the Im-
perial Japanese Government, in
the face of a gentlemen’s agree-
ment entered into by her leaders
with the heads of the various
Masonic organizations that had
been functioning in that country
for many years in the past. Not
only has Japan blighted the acti-
vities of Masonry in her own
country but she has extended her
ruthless hand towards Masonry
all through the Far East.
In China she has sealed all
Temples and places of operation
of the various Masonic organi-
zations in that country; ruthless-
ly taken and carried away files,
furniture and lodge equipment
from its offices and Temples, and
still retains them. The mem-
bers of the various organizations
lem but have put the tires into
production in Buffalo.
Hope to Eliminate Need
Some time ago Buna S, the
butadiene rubber, actually was
taking more than 50 per cept na-
tural rubber in some tires made
for the government. Not that

and tear of a trip; four vehicles
have had another trip added to theii
lives, and the time of four men has
been spared for field work. Besides
that, and of equal importance, milk
and cream, highly perishable prod-
ucts, have gone to market on sched-
ule and at top quality. Valuable
food and critical war materials have
been saved.
Of the three basic principles of
quality cream production—cleanli-
ness, cooling, and frequent market-
ing—the last is of great importance.
Two or three times a week is none
too often to get cream to market.
Longer holding on the farm tends to
nullify the good work of keeping
cream clean and properly cooled.
Time gives bacteria the opportunity
to multiply and they do that at an
astonishing rate. Objectionable fla-
vors become more pronounced each
day and quality is lowered corre-
spondingly. The result is either a
product unfit for food and subject
to rejection, or one of such inferior
quality that it cannot bring a first-
grade return.

GRAY
HAIR
a eM-amiicap
Does gray hair males you appear more
elderly than your years?
due to this vitamin deficiency. It can now be
had in palatable tablet form under the name
GRAYVITA.
Actual tests reported by a leading national
household magazine on persona ranging in
age from 22 to 60 reveal that 88% show
positive evidence of a return of hair color.
Taken internally it supplies a natural color
pigment thru the hair roots, as this vitamin
deficiency in the body is replenished.
Qet GRAYVITA
(ox. ANTI gray hair vitamin
have been questioned and in-
quisitioned. Concentration camps
and military prisons in China
have been filled with reputable
business and professional men,
held for inquisition without just
cause and brutally treated, many
among their number being mem-
bers of the Craft.
It is reliably reported that
Japan instituted investigation of
Freemasonry to determine whe-
ther or not it was of a political
nature and subversive to her in-
terest. We understand that orders
came direct from Tokyo, and ^-
order has been carried out most
carefully and thoroughly by her
emissaries in both Japan and
China. Nothing has been left un-
done or unseen by them within
the capabilities of those in charge.
We of the Craft know that
Masonry, as practiced bv the rec
ognized organizations of the Un-
ited States, Great Britain and
other countries in the world
does not permit religious or poli-
tical subjects to be discussed in
its various lodge rooms. Evid-
ence of these tenets was exhibit-
ed to the Japanese representa
tives, but it was not sufficient
to deter them from their most
exacting investigation. One of
their late peers, Count Tadasu
Hayashi. while Ambassador to
Great Britain, became a Mason
and was made a member of the
Grand Lodge of England. Many
years ago he endeavored to in-

Elected Director of
Mother Church
The Christian Science Board of
Directors announced Saturday
the election of Francis Lyster
Jandron, C.S.B., a Trustee of
The Christian Science Publishing
Society, to be a Director of The
Mother Chucrh, The First CbUifch
of Christ, Scintist, in Boston,
Massachusetts. Mr. Jandron suc-
ceeds Mr. William P. McKenzie,
deceased, and has been nomin-
ated for the Trusteeships hereto-
fore occupied by Mr. McKenzie.
Mr. Jandron has resigned from
the office of Trustee of the Pub-
lishing Society.
Mr. Jandron, who is a native
of Canada, was educated in the
island of Jersey and in London,
England. He was actively engag-
ed in industries in Canada and
the United States for 17 years,
during which time he had be-
come treasurer and assistant
general manager of the Packard
Motor Car Company at Detroit,
Michigan. In 1921, he withdrew
f^-om a business career, so that
he might devote his entire time
to the practice of Christian
Science healing.
After uniting in membership
with The Mother Church, in 1911,
and with Third Church of Christ,
Scientist, Detroit, Mr. Jandron
served his branch church as First
Reader, director, and chairman.
He received instruction in the
Normal Class in the Board of
Education in 1925, and became an
authorized teacher of Christian
Science.
Mr. Jandron served continuous-
ly as Christian Science Commit-
tee on Publication for the State
of Michigan from 1926 until 1935,
when he was eleetd a member of
The Christian Science Board of
Lectureship. During his service
in this capacity, he filled engage-
ments throughout the United
States and Canada, also in Con-
tinental Europe, where he lec-
tured in English, French, or
German, in Denmark, France,
Germany, Latvia, Norway, Pol-
and, Sweden, Switzerland, and
the Netherlands. In March, 1939,
he was elected a Trustee of The
Christian Science Publishing Soc-
iety.
Mr. Jandron will continue to
hold the meetings of the Associa-
tion of his Pupils in Detroit.
Expires November 1
This is for the special benefit
and relief of all those Texans
who’ve been worried these
months about when to renew
their drivers’ license.
Come November 1, all original
licenses will expire. The opera-
tor who hasn’t obtained a rene-
wal by then will be without a
license, State Police Director
Austin.
Automatic renewal are grant-
ed where the applications is made
on time, Drivers License Chief
J. B. Draper explained. But once
an original license has expired,
the driver must take an examin-
ation in order to obtain a new
license. Anyone who drives
without a valid license is liable
to arrest and fine.
Application forms are avail-
able from State Police district
headquarters, by mail from the
headquarters in Austin, and at
most county courthouses, either
from sheriffs or tax collectors.
Renewed licenses are good for
two years, and cost 50 cents.
NATIVES ARE RATIONED
Natives of the Virgin Islands
have been limited to 2 pounds of
flour a week. War rationing
books, similar to those in use in
the United States, have been is-
sued to the 12,000 inhabitants of
the two islands.

much is needed now, and chem-
ists hope to get rid of need for troduce Freemasonry into Japan
any natural rubber.
Such is the speed of war science
that the neoprene discovery, one
of the major achievements in the
entire history of synthetic rub-
ber, went by without even an
announcement. From abroad only
the Russians are rumored to have
a similar achievement of synthe-
tic tires needing no natural rub-
ber. The Russian report has not
been confirmed.
But if true, the Russian discov-
ery is vital to America, because
their synthetic rubber is the
butadiene, buna S type.
Guayule does the job with 20
per cent added to buna rubber.
For this reason Cyanamid is
doubling the capacity of its
Mexican guayule plant at Cia.
Hulera de Parras in the state of
Coahuila.
Figures on guayule have been
kept under cover partly for
military reasons. Congress ap-
propriated $2,000,000 to finance
American guayule and advocates
of this rubber say that by next
spring about 100,000 acres may
be in production, yielding per-
haps 100,000 tons of natural rub-
ber.

for the benefit of the leading
and outstanding Japanese in th?t
country, but this was turned
down by the Imperial Govern-
ment of Japan at the time.
There is no doubt that the
Japanese are fully aware of the
main purposes of Freemasonry,
through men in the past who
have so advised them as to its
general stendnig and purposes in
society, and it is believed that
the plan of investigation of Free-
masonry in the Far East was not
entirely originated by the Japan-
ese, but through pressure brought
by other members of the Axis of
which they are a part.
It is noteworthy that the Jap-
anese have evidently forgotten
the most kindly act of the Su-
preme Council, 33°, Southern
Jurisdiction, in 1923 when the
fearful earthquake destroyed so
much property and snuffed out
the lives of so many Japanese,
leaving many of their number
deprived of the necessities of
life. The Supreme Council ap-
propirated and contributed $10,-
000 to the relief of the suffering
of Japan. They evidently have
forgotten the past, or intention-
ally do not want to remember it,
as they persist in treating badly
members of our Fraternity in the
Far East, disrupting the lodges,
sealing the Temples, retaining the
files and records, and pilfering
the innermost secrets of the con-
fidential files.,
Japan will, ho doubt, endeavor
to make the world believe that
t-his is gratitude, but the Masons
of the world will not forget, and
to all Masons her activities
against Freemasonry are a blot
on her escutcheon.
The destructive forces of the
Japanese in the Far East toward
Masonry most forcibly impress all
of us that if we are to live as
free men, such activities by those
who seek to enslave mankind
must be suppressed. Their ac-
tions are the antithesis of those
great tenets which we are all
taught to observe as Freemasonry.
Freemasonry in the Far East
has suffered and is suffering, and
it behooves all of us first to gain
victory and then to bear in mind
the significance of the great
legend so well known—Orbo Ab
Chao.
Uncle Sam needs your
metal to “Slap the Japs.”
