WPB Forbids Toothpaste
Sales Without Return
Of Used Container
WASHINGTON, March 31.-()-
The War Production Board today
prohibited retail merchants from
selling toothpaste or shaving cream
in tubes to any customer who fails
to turn in some type of used collap-
sible tube for each new one pur-
chased.
The provision, first of its kind and
effective immediately, makes retail-
ers responsible for the trade-in tran-
saction and directs that the used
tubes thus collected be held subject
to WPB orders.
At the same time, the Board placed
drastic restrictions on future use and
production of collapsible tin tubes
and prohibited their use entirely for
foods, cosmetics and most toilet pre-
parations.
Under the terms of the trade-in
provision, a WPB spokesman de-
clared, retailers are liable to penal-
ties prescribed under the' second war
powers act--a maximum of $10,000
fine and a year's imprisonment-if
sales of tube toothpaste or shaving
cream are made in violation of the
order.
Purchasers will not be required to
exchange a used tube of the same
type as the tube being purchased

mark the beginning of the eight day
celebration of the ancient Feast of
Passover.
Commemorating the flight of the
Israelites from the bondage of the
Egyptians, the Feast of Passover is

ond evenings of the celebration.
At the Sedorim, the rituals handed
down from generation to generation
are performed. The unleavened
bread, symbolizing the hurry of the
flight from Egypt, is first broken at
.that time.
Among the other ceremonial foods
is the salt water signifying the tears
of the Israelites, the bitter herbs
symbolizing the bitterness of the life
of bondage and the mixture of wine,
eggs and meal symbolizing the mor-
tar of the pyramids the Israelites
built.
Campus observance will be spon-
sored by Hillel Foundation. Special
meals prepared in the prescribed
manner will be served at Lane Hall
for the entire week. The first Seder
will begin at 6:30 p.m. today.

Program In 'Rackham
The first of two concerts of re-

Medieval, Baroque, and Modern mus-
ic will be presented from 8 to 10 p.m.

Following a brief talk by Richard
Lippold, instructor of design in the
College of Architecture, who has or-
ganized the program, many rare and
beautiful examples of music and in-
struments never heard in concert
will be presented. Included on the
program will be a "Hymn to the
Sun" by Mesomedes of the classical
Greek period, a Mass attributed to
the coronation of Charles V, 1364, sev-
eral imported recordings of a Baroque

collection.

galleries, and will include different
and equally exciting material from
the same periods. The public, stu-

New Loading Coils Save Coppe:rd Nickel for War
A LOAi)ING COIL is dough-
nc.t-shaped contrivance of copper
wire wound over a ring of alloy
containing nickel. Its job is to
give your voice an electrical "push"
as you talk over a telephone line.
There is about one loading coil
for every mile of an average Long
Distance telephone circuit in cable
-nearly half a million in Michi
gan ':lone, bsides about 200,000

For )years ItIe- HellSysternis V,
sear li has been making these coils
progressively smaller, yet keeping
them as effective as the larger coils.
Now, as a further step to help meet
the shortage of war materials, pad-
ing coils have been developed that
use only about half as much copper
and nickel as the former type. The
pictures indicate the latest reduc-
tion in size.
