This was the hour, after work and before dinner, that she always looked forward to. Her private name for it was "My sissy hour." Into it, these days, she packed all the lazy, luxurious little things she loved-- things that used to take up a lot more than an hoiir of her peace-time days. She sat down at the little desk in her room. , You could tell quite a lot about Irene from that desk. The water-glass filled with the small bouquet of flowers she sometimes bought on the way home. The paper-weight of pink marble. The thin, crackly blue air-mail stationery. And the big, framed photograph of a young man in a corporal's uniform--as good-lcoking a man as Irene was pretty. On the blotter pad lay the telegram that had come that morning just as she was leaving for work. With those long, well-shaped fingers she reached for a sheet of paper. She nibbled the end of her pen for a bit, and then she wrinkled up her nose at the picture of the soldier and began to write, "Dear Mr. Morgenthau", but the corporal's name was Jackson and she called him Pete. Her round handwriting spread across the page. "My boy friend is with the A.E.F. in Ireland. He has cabled me fifty dollars with which to buy a diamond ring. I've been thinking it over and decided to buy a War Bond to help Uncle Sam instead. This may help to bring my boy friend home sooner, and then he can help me select my ring." Slowly she began to sign het name. "Irene " (Letter from an actual communication in the files of the Treasury Department.) • • • Let's all sacrifice as Irene has done. Bring final victory closer with the money you put into War Bonds. Make certain your family budget tops 10 percent by New Year's. U. S. Treasury Uefartmtni Beginning this New Year, 1943, we cannot help but be thankful, in spite of the fact that our country is at, war, that the outlook is brighter than that of 1942. In spite of this improved outlook, it would be foolhardy for us, however, to let down in our race for victory. We all know now that we have to make every sacrifice possible to back up the men in service and to keep up the morale at home. Only the unselfish effort of all is going to bring the peace we all pray for. There is no time for anything but co-operation. We have demands in the Red Cross, especially the surgical dressing department, greater than ever. We urge every worker to resume her activities folding bandages. The room is open all day Wednesday, from 9 a. m. to 10 p. m. Mrs. Landgren has charge of the morning session, Mrs. Reihansperger the afternoon session and Mrs. Rulien the evening session. Mrs. Rulien also conducts a session for Juniors on Monday evening and Mrs. Landgren on Tuesday evenings, has charge, of an extra session from 6 until 10 for anyone who cannot attend on Wednesday. Mrs. Reihansperger is general chairman of the -surgical dressing department, and the workrom for this branch is in the high school. . ^ Production room for iewing./knitting and various other phases are conducted in St. Mary's-St. Patrick's school on Thursdays from 10 until 5 o'clock.

MRS. HUGH MURPHY. Any Way tt Worked - In his service with the army, Sergt. Clyde R. Meadows has seen quite • few things but he witnessed a new one at Camp Roberts, Calif., the other day. Lined up for morning shaves were several men all shirtless but one. Not only was that soldier in uniform but he wore a fatigue jacket over his shirt. "What's the idea, soldier?" Sergeant Meadows wanted to know. The explanation floored him . . . "This way I can shave without soiling my shi^t.,, Read the Want Ads!' Penny's Worth of Sugar There are more energy-giving cal> cries in a penny's worth of sugar than in any other food you can buy. Production of American-grown beet sugar in 1942 is expected to total 2,000,000 t$ps. If this goal is reached, it will represent enough sugar to supply every person in the United States with a weekly eighth ounce sugar ration for one year. How to Say It They all have a word for it. It's beet or cane sugar to us, but in French it's sucre; in German, zucker; in Spanish, Azucar; in Araibic, sakkar or sokkar and assokar; in Persian, shakar; in Greek, sakcharon; in Latin, sacchorum; in Sanskrit, carkara -- which originally meant gravels Sugar was known in Asia- as "sweet gravel."

"If there areany records that you men would like to have in the Recreation hall," said the major, "let us know, and we'll try to get them for you.

Powerful Persuasion^ Private David Chafin and Private First Class Philip Rqwe were big buddies at Fort Sam Houston, Texas. But Private Rowe had an awful time rousihg his pal in the morning. Each day, just after reveille, soldiers could hear Rowe pleading, "C'mon, Chafin, get up. It's almost chow time." But all of that has passed. Rowe has a new method that works. He yells, "Okay, soldier, hit the floor. First call." And Private Chafin jumps. Rowe, you see, has acquired anothe; #iupel He's Corporal Rowe now. the home of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Vasey.

They normally earn substantial surplus profits, after payment of interest on capital, which are credited to the general revenues and thus serve to relieve Iodism taxf «yer. problem, according to nutrition research workers. They have made black-haired rats turn gray while their brothers kept sleek black coats. The difference traces to the diet fed the animals. While research workers the country over as yet have not isolated j any one factor which can forestall or cure graying of hair, there are ; a number of factors which are close j to the answer. One is pantothenic j acid, which is a member of the vita- i min B family. j "Pantothenic acid," said nutrition- ' ists from the University of Illinois i college of agriculture, "will prevent black hair from turning gray, as well as cure graying, but only to the salt-and-pepper stage. Because pantothenic acid does not prevent the salt-and-pepper effect, black rats develop a reddish-brown coat of hair as they grow older." Pantothenic- acid-rich foods include liver, eggs, molasses, peanuts and whole- , grain cereals, 'd? t T T T T T T T T T T T T T Tf T T T T T •t T T T TT T T X T T T t T T- I ?
