MISCELLANEOUS : A Flies 1,500 Miles for Soldiers' Wants An indication of the hobbies indulged in by the doughboys on duty in the Australian bush country and in the islands of the Southwest Pacific may be gleaned from the list of articles which Red Cross field directors have bought in Australia for them. Flying in an army transport plane a distance of 1,500 miles to the nearest shopping center, Field Director Peter Croes spent $2,000 on phonographs and records, lighter fluids and flints, silk floss and, of all things, embroidering needles;'for the men at Port Darwin. Field Director Jimmy Stewart--no relative of the movie star--brpught b^ck from Australia such sundries as harmonicas, pocket Knives for whittling, Dingo fames and horseshoes to Port Moresby. Field Director John Carney's post in New Caledonia is a fisherman's paradise, so his list consisted of handlines, sinkers, feathered lures and hooks. KENTILE--No priority on tile floors.

Leuder, state auditor of public accounts, last weekend announced that old age assistance payments in the state for the month of April amounted to $4,185,929.00, an increase of $12,068.00 over March when 149,085 Illinoisans, 65 years of age or over, received $4,173,861.00. CLAIM no man ever was successful unless he was aggressive by nature. The man who waits for the breaks doesn't get to first base. It may seem so when you read some of the modern success stories, but if you delve into the lives of the subjects, the chances are you'll discover the individuals involved were of enterprising dispositions. Well, perhape not always. Ton take the ease of Iakov Ganetsky. Iakov was brought over to the United States by his mother when he was seven. Immigrants. In Russia, Iakov had had some opportunity to play the violin. His mother believed he was a prodigy. She knew that America offered opportunities for anyone of talent. Bat bow to find that opportunity? They had no money. Neither could speak English. Their friends had ho con- • neetions. The mother, Kyra ' by name, brooded. It seemed like a hopeless situation. It seemed that her son, the prodigy, was going to be lost to the world. During the months that followed Kyra, laboriously took up the study of English. Six months after their arrival in America, she had learned to pronounce ten words. This she realized was not enough. So she labored six months longer. She learned how to say: "Good day, how are you? I am fine. It is nice weather today. Would you like me to tell you about my son? He is a genius." Thus fortified she asked the following question: "Who is the czar of America?" Her Russian friends laughed. "There is no czar in America. There is a President. A good and kind man. He has a very lovely wife." Kyra thought this over. She would go and see the President's lovely wife. So she saved her money and she and IakoV moved to Washington. This all happened a long time ago and conditions in Washingtonweren't what they are today. Nevertheless Kyra found a place to live. Then she dressed in her finest and sought out the White House. She wanted, she told thg guard, to talk with the President's lovely wife. The guard was a kindly old man. He advised her that the President's wife was very busy and saw people only by appointment. However, he said, on Wednesday afternoon the President's wife usually interviewed people without appointments. 80 the next Wednesday afternoon Kyra came again to the White House. She sat in a reception room and waited with dosens of other people. She came th&.next Wednesday and the nexrand the next. Always there were other people who wanted to see the President's wife. But Kyra became an object of interest to the guards and secretaries. She had such a patient faee, and her clothes were so queer. They talked, and eventually what they said reached the President's wife. She asked to see the strange woman from Russia. Kyra did her best to speak good English, but when the President's wife smiled she knew she had failed. Then the President's wife said: "Won't you tell me ip your native tongue?" Kyra beamed. Wonder of wonders. The President's wife could speak and understand her native tongue. Kyra became glib. The President's wife was much interested in Kyra's story. She would like to hear the child prodigy play his violin. It was arranged. The child played. A concert was arranged. He played again before hundreds of peoples His genius was recognized. Interested people sponsored his instruction. Time passed, Iakov became famous. Iakov's mother was very happy, very proud. She appointed herself Iakov's manager. She arranged his concerts, his tours. She turned down some offers and accepted others. She understood that her boy was famous. When he was offered the leadership of a great symphony orchestra she was not surprised. More time passed. The Ganetskys were now very wealthy, veiy famous. Iakov, the genius, sometimes frowned at the way his mother conducted his affairs, but he never refused to accept her decision.' He saw his picture plastered on billboards all over the country. He read articles about himself in newspapers, and magasines. He understood that he was successful; that he was fcmous; that other people admired and respected him. He was the typical example of the immigrant boy who had overcome all obstaeles and. made good. Then one day a sad thing happened. Kyra was taken sick and died. Iakov was grief-stricken. He 'And Don't Forget,* Clean Behind Your Ears, Willie9 If Little Willie or Little Mary gets cantankerous about washing thoroughly before supper, perhaps it's because cleanliness hasn't been made to be fun. As they grow older, they will know that clean faces and hands and clothes are essentials of social acceptability. Until they reach that point, however, they will take to soap and water more readily if it is associated with a happy time. Clever parents have used many ideas to secure willing co-operation. Calling the regular predinner scrubup a "trip to the beauty parlor" or a "barber shop massage" may do the trick. In some cases, mothers have provided individual soap for each child in a container of the child's favorite color. Where there are several children old enough to wash themselves thoroughly without parental supervision or assistance, let them keep track of the length of time that the individual soap lasts-- the winner being the one who, without any wasting, uses up his soap first. Words of praise, particularly from father on returning from his work, are also helpful in keeping children interested in good grooming, and are much more effective than sending the youngsters from the table to complete ». sketchy handwaslghg. JOHNSBtJRG Top-Notch Condition Part Of Housewives* Daily Job Keeping everything in ' top-notch condition is part of the housewife's job oi wartime conservation. In our more extravagant days we thought it easier to replace many things rather than to spend the time to conserve them. Today, however, it is necessary and patriotic to "make do." Painted walls are among the things which many home owners will "make do" this season. That does not mean that we must live with dirty walls and woodwork, for most paint that is used in homes is washable, and can be brought back to renewed beauty by the application of soap and water. Tinted walls as well as white ones can be refreshed in this way. Where walls and woodwork are washable, begin by dusting them with a long-handled brush or a cloth-covered broom. Moldings, and door and window casings, where dust settles most heavily, should have special attention. When the loose dust has been removed as far as practicable, the washing can begin. Melbourne Nurses' Bravery ® - Two Melbourne, Australia, nurses have been decorated by the king for bravery and devotion to duty while attending wounded during bombing and machine-gun attacks on one of the last ships to leave Singapore. Staff Nurse Margaret Anderson has been awarded the George Medal, while membership in the Military Division of the Order of the British Cmpire has been conferred on Staff Nurse Vera Torney. Their ship was hit three times by bombs from Japanese planes. The nurses were in a cabin attending wounded men who were being smothered by smoke and fumes. They dragged the men to the deck. The enemy planes^ returned, flying low, with machineguns blazing. Nurses Anderson and Torney carried on their work. On one occasion Sister Anderson threw her body across one badly wounded man who was fa direct line of attack. 'Exit' Interviews on Leaving jobs Employees of many of the federal agencies who "give notice" now undergo "exit" interviews to determine specific reasons for their resignations. In a substantia] number of cases, employes change their minds after the interview and return to work. Purpose of , the interviews, endorsed by the U. S. Civil Service commission, is to reduce employee turnover by correcting unfavorable conditions where possible, and 10 decrease costs of recruiting and training, especially in the Washington, D. C., area. The exist interview attempts to determine whether Unfavorable housing facilities, transportation difficulties, bad physical conditions of work or other factors --&<*ide from the job itself-*caused the employee to want to leave.
