Uncle Sam test brass alloys. Washington D.C. To determine the correct amount of alloys necessary for desired results in the making of castings and other uses, the U.S. Bureau of Standards is conducting daily tests. 600 different portions of the alloy are used at the present time. The tests are made with brass bars which are melted in a high frequency induction furnace and the temperatures are recorded before and during the pouring into the molds.

War alarm clocks. 1,700,000 of them will be produced this year to meet demand that was normally 12,000,000. Will be distributed by all pre-war alarm clock manufacturers. War alarms are of the hand-wound type, not nearly as durable as pre-war models. The case, about 6 x 6 x 2 1/2 inches, is of molded pressed wood and paper pulp. Mechanism contains only about 1/10 ounce brass and 6 1/2 ounce of steel, compared to pre-war average use in the low-priced alarm clocks of 6 and 13 ounces respectively. For this reason, and since the programmed supply for the year will barely cover the needs of workers in directly war-essential occupations, War Production Board (WPB) has requested that no one buy a war alarm unless it satisfies real need, not merely want, wish, or whim

Bantam, Connecticut. The kapok room in the Warren McArthur upholstery shop is screened off to prevent the feathery filling from flying freely about the plant. Expert at stuffing kapok into cushions are Barbara Skilton and Frances Humphrey. Barbara, at left, lives in Morris, the next town to Bantam, at her father's farm, where several other workers in the plant board. Her husband works at the Waterbury Brass Company, and they have a son two years old. Frances, a graduate of Litchfield High School, prefers this work to the secretarial position she used to have in Torrington. "There is more money, and you don't have to worry about it at night," she says. Both girls began work in Bantam in December, 1941
