The Insurance Advocate says: "It is important to re¬ member that what Congress has granted, it can also take back." Therefore, the mora¬ torium should be employed to the full to bring about uniform, reasonable regulation. Toward this end, the National Associa¬ tion of Insurance Commision- ers and the fire insurance com¬ panies which provide indispen¬ sable protection for this nation, have an opoprtunity to do an unprecedentedly effective job in the public interest, not only from the standpoint of improv¬ ing insurance, but from the standpoint of perpetuating state jurisdiction over regulatory matters, thus obviating any ex¬ cuse for the extension of fed¬ eral control into local insur¬ ance affairs.

Motorists were asked to give a thought to the effect of hot summer highways on war worn tires when a spokesman for the Atlanta District OPA office urged all automobile drivers to check their tires frequently and to have needed repairs or re¬ capping done before further damage occurs. "Much of the nation's transportation system rolls on tires, and everybody's tire is a part of the national stockpile. It is a patriotic duty as well as a plain, common the sense safety precaution, to take best care of automobile tires under these conditions," he said- The OPA district rent execu¬ tive in Atlanta cautioned all landlords and tenants in areas where rent control is in effect that they must know the maxi¬ mum legal rent for their living quarters, and that if more is paid a penalty may be im¬ posed. Why Retail Mark-Ups Vary In Different Places In these days of controversy over prices, the publicity given retail mark-ups may bring to stores an inquiry like the fol¬ lowing from a fanner: "Why are some food items handled by retailers on very narrow margins, while many farm products have to carry much larger mark-ups?" In answering this, the First National Stores of Boston, said: 'There is no simple answer. In an economically operated store where costs are the ultimate control, the size of mark-ups re¬ flect historical practices, speed of turn over, direct sales bur¬ den, consumer demand, perish¬ ability, waste, convenience and many other factors. "Also there are two phases of margin—gross, and net prof¬ it. In the gross margin, are all costs, averaged out as to bur¬ den. In the case of the First National Stores this figure on fruits and vegetables right now is the lowest it has been in years. The net profit figure third is not over a cent and a on each sales dollar." The modem chain food store is interested primarily in hold¬ ing down the gross margin to the lowest possible point, in or¬ der to encourage the greatest volume of sales. In maintain ing a minimum net profit pel sale, it must depend on mass tum-over for success. Under such a system, farm¬ ers can be certain that there will be no mark-ups beyond the bare point of necessity; for the higher the price, the greater the tendency to reduce volume. Hence, while mark-ups vary, due to the reasons mentioned, they are, of necessity, held at the lowest point that will pre vent loss. WANTED Want man to buy me hound dogs. Write at once. D.
