IN THE COMMONS yesterday Mr. Ar- thur Greenwood made a statement on war production and referred to the effects of re- cont enemy raids on industrial centres.

"KEEP YOUR SOAP ON A STRING"

Keep your soap on a string, it's more economical that is the latest advice German given by newspapers..

Soap is strictly ra- tioned in Germany- each person gets only one small piece of toilet soap ́a month.

Explaining the economy advice, the paper said that piece of soap hung on a string always re- mained dry, lasting much longer.
