Uncle Sam's Tars Well Looked After Boys Have Ice Cream Bar In- stead of Tot of Rum "Make mine vanilla!" No, this fs not the cry of a holiday-maker; it is the voice of the great Ameri can Navy at sea, as the "gobs" crowd around the soda fountain. For the American Navy is "dry," end was dry before prohibition, liven the tot of rum, a tradition of the Dritish Navy, is barred, 'But the boys have their ice cream bary and that is what they want, thé American Navy 1s one of the best looked after services in ° the world, There are no hammocks. All ships are fitted with iron bunks which fold -up against the bulk- heads when not in use, leaving a compartment for reading, card playing or table games, They are also equipped with mattresses and 'pillows, blankets and sheets, * The ships are all wired for sound, and every night, weather permitting, there are fils, in ad- dition to frequent "smokers," where excellent shows are given by the crew, - . . Ll There are first-class boxing and wrestling programs, so don't think that because they eat ice cream _ luatead of drinking rum the "gobs" aro anything but tough. But the tougher they act ashore, tho mild- er and quieter they are at SCA, Although the discipline is strict, there is a fellow feeling and cam- araderie between officers and men, and despite the training at Annapolis -- the American. Dart- mouth--the grand spirit of demoo- racy shows itself in the service; Dancing is one of the chiof reo- reations of American sailors. They pride themselves on their dancing, and practice the combination of sleps to perfection as though they were going in for a dance mara- thon as soon as they strike land, Everybody in America dances, and the sailor's girl has to bo some- thing out of the ordinary to keep up with her boy friend when he's ashore, At tea there are whaleboat races and swimming contests; In port baseball and football, Sailors are not allowed to keep civilian clothes aboard, but they may change out of uniform when on - shore leave, dealers in the vicinity of navy yards keep a back room for chang- ing-and many of them supply the boys with lockers in which they can keep a complete outfit, The jolly tar becomes a Broad. way playboy while his money lasta, Families entertain the gobs when in port, receiving them into thelr homes, lending them their motor- cars, and generally treating them like their own sons. « ¢ Besldes this family life Amerl- can sailors have more facilities for entertainment than those of most other nations. Their seauien's clubs are well decorated and furn- - ished, and offer shows and enter tainments ranging from ° serious lectures to sing-songs with buffet suppers and tea dances. Ships' 'stores carry large stocks of tobacco, candy, stationery, ras. ors, and a varied selection of tin. ned foods, for the sailor {sg always hungry. In. addition to the usual mess, the ships have lunch' coun. ters where sandwiches, "hot dogs" and snacks are available, The well-stocked libraries have all the latest novels as well ag his- tories and text books on varied subjects. _ Chapel {is not compl sory, but the boys mostly like the chaplain, 60 they gO anyway, In small ships where chaplains of all religions are ot carrled, the padre will preach to the Protest. ants one Sunday and to the Cath. olics on the next, The average rate of pay, exclud. ing specialists, ie forty dollars a month. Civilians Receive ~ Invasion Orders New and comprehensive BOVs ernment instructions for civilian _ action in case of invasion of Eng- Jand -were®published recently, ac- cording to the BBC. Independent action by civilians not acting under official orders will not be tolerated, but every stout-hearted citizen is called tipon to do his utmost to overcome stray maravders, BBC said, Secret plans for a scorched earth policy are being given to those concerned, regardless of pri. vate :nterests and with regard to our own needs, - Regional commissioners are to take over the functions of the central' government, and civilians can be compelled to help with such emergency duties as baking, cooking and first ald, All civilians who can join the Home Guard were asked to do so and--it was 'announced in the House of Lords that the maximum limit for the intake of recruits _fs,to be raised.

The synchrophone is used for training certain service men. It is the joint work of an engineer, a recording expert and a man skilled in photographic layout. It is better than a film because it can be shown in daylight; and this is not the time to say more about it, In other directions, Britain's gramophone record industry has been fully harnessed to the war effort. Already many training establishments in the RAF are making use of records either for the technical ground staff or for flying crews, The sounds of air- plane engines, for example; are reproduced by gramophone for future pilots learning "blind" fly- ing; and the sound of machine guns, of different calibres of shell and of various signals are also taught daily by gramophone. Britain's recording engineers have added much to their know- ledge in solving the technical problems with which they have been faced. The need to record with complete fidelity sounds nev- or before heard on a disc has ao broadened the spectrum of sound that tones are now being recorded three or four octaves above the highest note on a piano to a full octave below the lowest. Ree- orded sound has, in short, been pushed to the limit of the range of audibility, which will mean a more perfect recording of music when peace returns, Advised To Sleep With Window Shut A heating engineer from the University of Minnesota is the Sleep nine months out of the year with your bedroom windows closed.. You'll not only reduce your fuel costs, but you'll cut down the possibil- ities of colds, sinus infections and other disorders. And here's why --one window in your bedroom, weatherstripped and with a storm window on and closed, will infil- trate enough fresh air into your bedroom (provided your door is left ajar) to make sleeping health" ful and comfortable for four ad- ults in that room. He says a house "breathes" just as a person does and without the doors and windows being open. ofl Pol WAR Men Needed For The Reserve Army Everyone Should Be In Ac- tive or Reserve Forces The Reserve Army wants the banker, the broker, the clerk in uniform as well as the butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, Maj. -Gen. B. W. Browne, Director- General of the Reserve 'Army, made clear not long ago. The general said every eligible cltizen should be in either the Active or the Reserve forces. That means, he said, that men of the so-called "white collar class" who are moderately or well educated are needed as buck. privates as well as men who work with .their hands, Tho reason ls that the Reserve Army must do {t§ training in the spare time enjoyed by its members from their civilian occupations. The more education a man has the quicker he can absorb instruction. Thus it 1s possible to make a rea- sonably efficient soldier out of a man who has a fair education and is accustomed to using his mind in his work in less time than re- quired to bring a man with little educatlon---and whose mind not accustomed to absorbing Informa- tion up to the same standard. "After all, the Reserve Army may have to-do some fighting with very little training," said General Browne. "The greater results we can show for the least training, the better." In some Reserve Army units men are being divided Into classes for training so that the slower members of the unit will not hold the others back. Thus the man who responds quickly to training will not -become bored .by having to repeat the same-processes over and over again until the slowest men in the unit learn thelr lessons, The Reserve Army recruiting program. Is rolling along well, Its object is to bring all Reserve Army units up to full strength, a total of more than 160,000 mea. America Seeks Alaskan Spruce Sitka Spruce is Needed For Airplane Factories America is turning again to her spruce forests for vital war ma- terial. A quarter century ago, when the nation. last was engaged In a great war, labor battalions went into the woods of the Pacific northwest and cut billions of feet of spruce for use in airplane constrdction. Today the axe -la being sharp- ened and the law set for the spruce forests of southeastern Al. aska. The government has called upon western logging companies to harvest the vast stands of Sit- ka spruce for airplane factorles. Spruce grows more slowly in Alaska than elsewhere and de- velops longer, tougher fibres that better withstand the stress and atrain of an airplane In flight, says Charles (G. Burdick, U. 8. forestry official who has been In _the northern territory for 16 years. The wood is light and Ideal for use in planes, he said. Training ships are being made principally of wood, freeing metal for combat ships, Burdick sald the government hoped to log 16,000,000 board feet per month around Ketchikan with lumber companies in Washington, 'Oregon and other western states doing the work on contract. Saw- mills in Alaska will out some of the: logs andthe, remainder will be towed to Puget Sound mills or to Portland, Final dressing of the wood will be done in north: west speclalty mils, ' Britain Builds Up " Food "Laundries" If gas should be used against Britain, arrangements have been made to safeguard the nation's food supplies against contamina- tion. It has taken some years to per- fect the countrywide service which today stands ready to sal- vage any foodstuffs which may be exposed to gas. Air Raid Precau- tions experts were experimenting on the salvage of gas-contamina- ted foods before: war begun and today, although no unit has had to go into action, the service stands at the alert, ready for emergency. The backbone of the service ls the growing chain of food "laun- dries" for cleansing the food, now built up throughout the country. The "laundries" are staffed by "civil defence personnel, working with the local. in co-operation authorities, It is estimated that' these decontamination units could salvage ninety percent. of the food treated.

HOW CAN I? Q. What can I use as a sub- stitute for dog biscuits? A. One can save money spent on dog biscuits, as well as make use of all leftover bread. Slice the bread and put it into the broiling oven. Allow it to get brown on one side, and then turn over and brown until quite hard. This: makes a good dog biscuits 'it affords splendid roughage and is a good tooth cleaner. Q. How can I be sure of an even color when using a soap'dye? A. When tinting garments with a soap dye, put the cake of soap into a shaker and shake it in the water until you have the shade desired. This insures an even dye and clean hands, Q. How can I keep leather auto upholstery in good condition? A. To restore leather auto up- holstery after it has been rained on, and to keep it in good condi- tion, rub linseed oil into it occa- sionally. . Q. How can I stop a leak in a gas plate? A. If you are using a gas plate with a tubing that leaks or smells, melt some paraffin wax and dip the leaky part in it, or dip it in all over. It will be as good .as new, "~Painting 'metal gas hose with aluminum paint stops any- leak and greatly prolongs its life. Q. How can I prevent sticking dresser drawers? 'A, Sandpaper and varnish the edges of sticking dresser drawers, The varnish will keep them from swelling and shrinking, It is a good idea to varnish or paint the inside of the: drawers also, (MIDDLE-AGE} WOMEN (7s) HEED THIS ADVICEI!? pee EOS markagly beiped. Follow na Have You Heard? A young matron of our ag. quaintance, taking first aid train. ing, has reached the resuscitation stage. One evening recently, re- turning from a Red Cross meet ing, she observed a man, on a darkened side street, sprawled face downward. "Aha," thought the matron. "Providence has sent me hither to minister to this poor unfortun- ate," Parking her car nearby, she rushed over and began giving the treatment for resuscitation, « Presently the man stirred, and looked up, spoke with great diffi- culty: ks iF ; "Lady," he said, "I don't know what you're up to, but I wish you'd quit tickling me. I'm hold- ing a lantern for a guy working down in this manhole." --Quote, 'Mrs. Jones: "How's your son getting along in the Army, Mrs. Smith?" Mrs. Smith: "What do you think? They've promoted Herbert for hitting a serg- eant, They've made him a court martial." Jack: "I've a friend I'd like to have you girls meet." Athletic Girl: "What can he do?

When -the old grandfather of a German family died, his sorrow- ing relatives put the usual an- nouncement in the local news- paper. It ran: "Ernst Muller has been called to a better world." And next day they were ar- rested for criticizing the Nasi regime. "What did the calf say to the silo?" "l don't know." "Is my fodder in there?" ° The bus was, as usual, crowded and the party of five r WAAFs found themselves hanging on the - straps, Presently one bright mem- ber of the company said loudly to her friend: "I wish that smart, good-looking man would give me his seat." Almost before she'd finished, five men stood up to offer their seats, Her "I'm thinking of get- ting married; what do you think?" She: "I think it's a wonder- ful idea if you ask me." In 1936-37 the output of timber in the Belgian Congo was doubled and the maize crop trebled. PLUG SMOKING TOBACCO Packers Develop ydrated Meat | oduct May Become Popu- ar With Domestic Consumers Disclosure that large scale lend lease export of meat is at hand, through a revolutionary shipping space-saving #method of prepara- tion, was heralded in the packing industry as a major development in the livestock-meat trade. Meat is to be dehydrated and shipped in containers requiring only a fraction of the cargo room needed for transportation of a corresponding quantity during the last world war. Packers estimate enough meat can be packed into a military plane to feed a whole division for 'a-limited period, Of equal importance with the space-saving feature was disclos- ure that beef would be shipped to American allies and armed forces. This attracted special attention in the cattle industry, since up to now most lend-leass shipments have been pork and lard. Saves Shipping Space There were some estimates that _ the compressing of meat by 'tha. new process would permit ship- ment in one vessel of a quantity equivalent to the cargo of ten ships a quarter century ago. The new methou, developed by packers at the request of govern- ment officials, involves grinding of meat, pre-cooking, and drying in_air dryers or vacuum. This produces small palatable pellets, to which it is necessary only to add water to make a substance al- most identical to fresh ground meat, Packers believe the dehydrated product eventually may become popular with domestic consumers, Their kitchen experts have work- ed out numerous menus for dishes, including meat loaf, hamburger, hash and combinations with veg- etables, Nearly 32,000 ponies and hors- es are now. hauling coal in mines of England and Wales.
