Most of the 48 States have Prizes totaling $145 in defense bonds and stamps will be awarded winners in the bundle-wrapping contest to be held under auspices of The Evening Star in co-operation with the Merchants and Manufac- turers Association at 8 p.m. Tues- day in the United States Chamber of Comerce auditorium. Three classes of packages will be emphasized —one falling in the clerk-wrap category, one handled at wrapping counters for delivery im- mediately to the purchaser and one in regular packing and home de- livery service. Each contestant will be required to assemble specified articles al- ready detailed in a previous article in The Star, and the prizes will be awarded on the basis of neatness and firmness of the package and minimum amount of wrapping ma- terial used. The winner in each class will receive a $25 defense bond, the runner-up $10 in savings stamps and $5 in savings stamps going to third place. A special prize of & $25 defense bond has been offered by Murray & Heister, dealer in In Star's Wrapping Contest i paper boxes, to the contestant | judged the best in all classes. | Three judges will be named to | decide the winner, and their names will be announced Monday. | In addition to the contest there | will be short addresses, demenstra- | tions of economical wrapping and | & program including moving pic- | tures. Reports from large department stores indicate considerable inter- est in the contest, and many have signified their desire to enter. Of- ficials of the various stores will se- lect those to represent them. All entries must be turned in to the office of the Merchants and Manu- facturers Association by noon to- morrow. The growing shortage of wrapping materials is expected to be notice- able in the next few months, and this contest is held with a view to postponing as long as possible the day when the situation may become critical. A similar contest by The Star in 1916 was copled throughout the country and resulted in savings estimated at 400 tons a day in wrapping paper. 6. W. U.

DOUGLAS, Ariz—Did you ever hear the one about the dog chasing a fish out of the water and onto the bank? Louis P. Laux, city water plant pumpman, said he went to the edge of the reservoir to see what a dog was barking about. On the bank was a 15-pound 33- inch carp. Laux surmised that the Publishers Are Urged To Conserve Stocks | The Government yesterday warned American publishers that “it is im- possible to predict” what future sup- plies of printing and publishing ma- terials will be and urged that every | effort be made to conserve stocks. George Renard, acting chief of the War Production Board printing and publishing branch, said that al- | though no shortage exists yet in black ink, color inks probably will soon have to be restricted by about 25 per cent. He said the present flow of news- print coming from United States and Canadian mills indicates a suf- ficient supply for ordinary future needs, but he warned that priori- | ties regulations forbid the building of inventories “above a practicable working minimum.” Mr. Renard emphasized that no improveemnt in the supply of rub- ‘ber for tires is expected and rec- ommended all possible conservation of tires in making deliverfes. In | addition to rubber, he reminded the publishers of shortages existing in iron, steel, lead, zinc and certain chemicals used in their field. He urged publishers to follow a general rule in conserving critical materials to the limit and using sub- stitutes wherever possible.
