I By KATHLEEN NORRIS " *r SIMPLY cry all the time," writes Elizabeth Taylor from Austin, Texas. "I dfcn't help it. No matter what I do to stop it, sometime during the morning I begin to tremble, and then the tears come, and I go on crying at intervals until I'm in bed at night--and then I really cry, hard, into my pillow, so that my husband can't hear me. "And yet things aren't harder for me than for thousands of other women," her letter goes on. "My biggest boy is out in the Marshall Islands with the marines, my daughter has her first job, at 17, and my. little boy is still in grade school. Doctor Taylor is a chiropractor who has a fine business and we have a lovely home. So it isn't so much my problem, it's just the awful problem of the whole world that has me completely broken down; it's the magnificence of the boys, and the letters they write home, and the wounded that are coming in to the service hospitals, and the thought of :ftU the ruin in Europe--" I /She goes on for several more jpages, but that's the gist of it. And her situation is like that of thousands of other women today, who are feeling the dreadful pressure of world events, sharing the sorrows of the mothers of lost sons, fighting the continual fears that crowd in upon from all directions. t These women act as if by making a fuss, crying and complaining and protesting they could alter the fact that the most fearful event of all history is now taking place. They act as if by fretting and arguing they could change the train of events. The fact remains: there is a great war going on, and since we can't adjust it to suit ourselves, we have to adjust ourselves to meet it. Over and over again the letters I receive exclaim plaintively: "surety it isn't natural--surely it isn't normal--surely no rational human being expects this sort of thing to ;fcjappen!" And the answer is "of course it isn't normal! Of course it isn't natural! Stop trying to rationalize it, • • yoVll go crazy, as some women are already going crazy over an attempt to reason about the most completely unreasonable thing that ever happens to humankind." No. Drop all thoughts of that kind, 'and in their place put two or three bracing ideas that will not only help you through, but will help everyone in your circle as well. For one thing, do something that will hasten the dawn of a peaceful, strong, intelligent world for tomorrow. There is no need to recapitu- » late here the thousand ways in which you can do this; you can work in defense plants, you can enlist with the services or the Red Cross, you can go into any hospital. Or just by keeping a comfortable, well-managed home for war workers you can do as great a service as any one of them. Of course you're buying bonds, writing letters to soldiers, knitting, cooking, collecting all the materials war needs." Some persons NO TIME FOR WEEPING She's a middle-age woman--a wife and mother who is comfortably fixed, financially and socially. Her elder son is a marine, now stationed in the Marshall islands. The younger is still in grade school and her 17-year-old daughter has her first job. So far, everything is going all right, but this woman says she cries frequently during the day, and at night she sobs in the darkness. "It isn't so much my own problem," she writes, "it's just the awful problem of the whole world that has broken down . . . the magnificence of the boys . 1. the wounded . . . the thought of all the ruin in Europe . . Every woman's part, replies Miss Norris, is to do something to bring the terrible war to a speedy end and to help the men and women who will return from service to re-enter civilian life. The weeping women are those who have little or nothing to. do. Tha busy Ones don't have time to cry.

But do something, or face lifelong shame and regret. Then keep cheerful--or at least courageous. Millions of fighters will escape from this war unscathed, millions of men and women will be better trained, educated, stirred by it than they would have been in times of peace. All these participants in the strife will come home anxious to find conditions ready for the new start into a better type of civilization. It isn't going to be all groaning and despair by any means. There will be great vigor and energy, and ambition in these returning men; they won't want babying and tears and regrets; they will want a good stout program and the means to carry it out. For the most part, the crying, nervous, fearful women are idle, or busy with monotonous housework only a few hours every day. Their cure is to find a plan, and work toward it--work hard, put every ounce of strength and vitality they possess into the realization of the plan. Plan for what? Well, plan for your soldier, if you have one. Get a few hundreds or a thousand dollars safely into the bank for him, to give him the needed start when he gets home. Buy him a little farm. Or, if you haven't an individual boy on the fighting front, plan for yourselves. Get out of debt, and have some savings over. Consult the local housing committee and have your old place made into flats. Buy the little farm that you've always wanted and you will take on a host of new interests. Times--if you choose to see them that way, have never been so dark But--taking the other view, never in the history of the world have we all had so many opportunities to learn, to improve our way of living, to serve and help each other. Republic of Iceland Makes Bow in Unsettled World "Konungsrikid Island" reads the legend over the brightly emblazoned coat of arms on the Iceland building in Washington. The legend means "The Kingdom of Iceland." As Iceland has ceased to be a kingdom this legend has been changed to "Lydveldid Island," meaning "The Republic of Iceland." Iceland, with 40,000 square miles of area, is about as large as Ohio. Its 124,000 inhabitants match onetenth the population of Cleveland. Touching the Arctic Circle in the far north Atlantic, it is known as the land of frost and fire because of its vast snowfields and glaciers mixed with a hundred volcanoes, countless praters, lava streams and Herman and Mr. Harvey Gray of Chicago.

There will be meat on "Zeke's" table as long as the ammunition holds out. Mrs. George Harker, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Kreiling and Fred Edmonds enjoyed the weekend at the Harkers cottage.

Refrigera- • tor ships have in recent years ex- j panded the world market for Ice-1 land's herring and cod. Farmers herd sheep, raise hay and potatoes on volcanic soil, and have greenhouses heated by water from hot springs. One-third of Iceland's people live in modern Reykjavik on the southwestern coast, where America's Gulf Stream helps to keep midwinter almost as mild as it is in New York. Water at 170 degrees, piped in volume from hot springs ten miles away, will soon heat all Reykjavik, making ornaments of chimneys. \! "He won't want babying and tears." Woman Marine Wants to Know She is a private first class in the U. S. marine corps women's reserve. When she finished her boo! training, Eunice Shepard was or dered to duty at the Brooklyn navy yard. She marched into the orderly room, signed up at the sergeant's desk, then let her gaze ramble coldly over a half-dozen desk-bound male marines, scribbling away at their paper work. Said Pfc. Shepard: "I Joined the marines to free a man to fight. Who's leaving?" Man 0» War About 26 years ago, Samuel Riddle bought a race horse for $5,000. Two years later he was $249,465 richer from purse money earned by Man O' War in winning 21 out of 22 races. During just two years of racing, Man O' War ran up a record no horse before or since has been able to touch. In his prime he weighed over half a ton and stood 16 hands high.

Cellulose Fibre Pipe Is Finding Ready Use One of the few products introduced into the plumbing industry as a wartime substitute which is likely to find permanent acceptance is a non-pressure pipe made of cellulose fibre and coal tar pitch. The pipe is recommended by its manufacturers only for uses outside of buildings where it replaces tile pipe for such purposes as service sewers from house to street, septic tank drain fields, subsoil and foundation drainage, downspouts, etc. Fibre pipe has been used underground for 50 years in the form of electrical conduits and raceways. The essential facts about how the material will stand up in contact with soil and water are known. Among the advantages of fibre pipe for sewer lines outside of the house, or for septic tank connections, are the fact that it will not corrode or disintegrate. Fibre pipe, furthermore, is impervious to thawing and freezing and it will not crack with the settling of the soil. , hot springs or geysers.

Pete sat for hours admiring the animal. Next day he complained to Rose, his wife, about seeing spots before his eyes. Rose suggested that he consult a doctor, but then she looked out of the window and saw spots, too. So they concluded that some epidemic had stricken the Kaminski household. Little did they know that Kenny Sawdo done a little improving on nature with the paint and brush that Pop bought him. So now the Kaminskis have a fawn colored pup with^black spots and certain parts of Kenny's anatomy are a rosy red. Boys will be boys! , Did you ever see a dream walking?
