Even Experts Trip Trying To Explain Puzzle; Can " Mean Several Things. (By Marie McKim) On May 22, 1943, Mrs. Boyle received a Victory letter from her Son, Lt. J.

Even thie experts stumble on the answer to that one, as demonstrated recently in a dispute between the Truman committee and Secretary Knox over the tonnage of Allied shipping lost and built last year. A pertinent point, it develops, is the formula used in determining the various tonnage figures involved. And that, congressional experts said, makes a lot of difference. To begin with, a "ton" of warship and a 'ton" of mterchant ship, either cargo or passenger, are entirely different things. Warships are measured in "displacement" tons, which means the actual weight of the vessel, including hull and machinery, arms, armor and ammunition, with ship's ..Assistant superintendent wUn«S «rj n»wtm, 1^ ne uoinrea ; gtores an(J personnel aboard and > Martin^ Secretary and Treasurer, Mrs, the, Axis J.ke he danced they will j reati[ to g0 to gea except fot;,w«t*r "*•", H'.v-J."'CdUin§. superintendentof Mis- have something to remember him by.! ^ boilers and fuel oil. sioriaries. & - He Jkas. an older brother, Lt.

The most frequently used tonnage figures for merchant vessels are gross, deadweight and registered, or net.

"~" Deadweight Measure. Deadweight tonnage, on th« other hand, is the weight in tons of a ship's cargo, passengers, crew, fuel and stores which can be carried when fully loaded, and is measured by the difference in displacement of the vessel when light and when loaded.

Defense^VJplunteers to Be Given Service Bars WASHINGTON.--Civilian defense volunteers can win service awards somewhat similar to those given in the armed services, Director James M. Land is announced. Six distinctive bars have been authorized ranging from 500 to 5,000 hours of service, which includes time passed in training, in practice and other activities authorized by local councils. The basic award, given for 500 hours of service, is a woven ribbon bar, having one red stripe each side of the familiar OCD white-trlangle-andblue- circle on a white background. What's your breakfast? A squirt of orange juice and a sip of coffee or fruit, cer&l, ^ eggs, toast and coffee? No need to tell you which one you ean start a man-sized day's work on, is there? A breakfast should supply almost a third of the day's calories and food value. A slight breakfast will prevent you from waking up fully--and thusstarting to realize your full quota of production whether you're on the home or factory front. But, treat the first meal of the day with the same respect you. do the other two, and you find yourself refreshed and more than ready to do your job-- and do it well. If you're still in doubt about the value of a good breakfast, look at breakfasts fed servicemen. Do you think they could get up and do their work if it weren't for fruit, cereals, eggs, toast or hotbread and beverage for their first fare of the day? No, ma'am. Breakfast affords a grand chance for you to get your vitamin B1-- that important morale vitamin which prevents nervousness and restlessness. You need this vitamin every day--and it§ best sources ar$ whole grain cereal and bread--and yeast. On warmer days, serve oatmeal or whole wheat cereal, on cooler days, use the enriched, ready-to-eat cereals which are unrationed. When the berries and fruits start coming in, use a few of them with the cereals for a delightful breakfast dish. Breakfast is a good way to take care of the citrus fruit requirement of the day, too. A half grapefruit, a large orange or a large glass of orange juice will fulfill the vitamin C quota of the day. Remember, however, that vitamin C is easily destroyed by air, and that means you should not squeeze or cut up oranges until just before serving; *OId-Fashioned Popovers.

When you spend any of your coupQhs for rationed food, make sure you are not buying anything that you could buy fresh. 1 In buying meats buy those of which you get the most for your points. Extend whatever cuts of meat you can with cereals, stuffings, food extenders and vegetables to make them go further. Start today to save sugar and put it in a bank so that you will have enough for the canning you are going to do this summer. Do n6t use sugar anywhere that you possibly can avoid it. Start planning your victory garden, so that you will be ready to put up as much of your share in fruits and vegetables. Buy quality foods to get the most value of your points. This applies to canned and processed foods, meat, cheese and butter. If possible, havs eggs for breakfast-- with bacon, if you can manage it, but remember that a nice hot bowlful ef oatmeal will give a goodly quantity of health. Then, of course, you can vary the menu with pancakes, french toast and waffles when the mood strikes you. Baked pears or apples are a good fruit for breakfast variation. Try apples this way: •Baked Apple With Orange Marmalade Filling. Select apples that are suitable for j baking. Core, and fill cavities with I orange marmalade.

There would be action on every page--with plenty of suspense that makes a good story. It would begin before the war, when, in spite of the depress sion, the railroads spent money to improve their service to peacetime America--buying new, more powerful locomotives -- building new, more efficient rolling stock-laying new and heavier track-meeting spirited competition with traditional American enterprise. ~ It would tell how every dollar spent for those improvements was a priceless advantage to this country, when suddenly America found itself plunged into world conflict. There would be chapters telling how the greatest transportation system in the world buckled down to its war job of moving armies and equipment fast and far, while continuing to handle essen* tial civilian travel.
