He knows there's a war on, but he can't see why it should make any difference to him--or to his jamily. Why should his daughter work to the point of exhaustion in a defense plant? Why should his wife give four days a tveek to the hospital, u ards? Instead, why don't they do their housework, and take care of their routine work? But his wife and daughter know- the answer. They know that "if everybody' gets into this thing, and shovesjthead, out war effort will be the most titanic thing that has ever happened in this world." America, and I think it's about time that they waked up to the fact that nothing has ever happened in the world before like what is happening j now. We are going to hold firm to ' the fundamental, impalpable things j that make us Americans, the divine J right we have to freedom and se«.| curity, but we are going to pay away everything else we have; time, I money, effort, to end the war and solidify the peace. Note KUnor wears oily slacks and I checked shirt and disappears every evening -ml half-past six to retiirn exhausted after midnight and sleep until, noon. TBy KATHLEEN NORRIS HE trouble with Tom Smith is that he won't change. ' With the whole world changing around him, with every day "bringing its staggering new responsibilities and sweeping ,«Tway the old ways of living and thinking, Tom has set himself .•against the current and is making his family miserable because he simply won't change. A few years ago Tom and his •wife lived peacefully in a pretty home, with a nice Japanese maid to keep everything comfdrtable, with a son in college and a daughter just going into her pretty, happy late teens. They had a car and a club and neighbors and everything they /Wanted. • But the day after Pearl Harbor the son, Bruce, enlisted in the marines; they don't know where he is aow. Then the small maid disappeared, and there was nobody to take her place. So Emily Smith began to serve meals in the kitchen, and Tom hated that. -.Then Elinor, bis daughter, took a course in somefiling somewhere, and now Elinor wears oily slacks and a checked shirt and disappears every evening at half-past six, to return exhausted after midnight and sleep until bood. Elinor is making patterns for the parts of some complicated piece of armament, and she cares for nothing in the world but that the maximum quota shall go out of the factory every week. Emily, Tom's wife, gives foOr days a week to hospital wards. She tfpes the hardest, grimiest work in the world faithfully, and loves it. War Conditions Anger Tom. Also, she and Elinor work continually for the canteens, make sandwiches, paste up scrap books; they. buy bonds, go to Red Cross rallies; they both wear the silver button that means they have given their own blood to 'save the lives of unknown men. All of this makes Tom mad. He grumbles and threatens; if the women in his house don't come to their senses pretty soon he'll go off somewhere and find some other women who have sense enough to know when they're well off. What dp they expect of him? Didn't he always take good cai^fe of his wife and family? , "On Sunday Elinor and I always make a real fuss over housekeeping," Egnily Smith writes. "I have a go6d breakfast, put the whole bouse in order, wash my hair, write letters, and at three o'clock have a real Sunday dinner; chicken and biscuits and dessert. But even that doesn't please Tom, because he scolds all through everything. 'Now, this is something like! Why can't we have this sort of thing every day. House in order, nice dinner, and you two looking ' the way you used to!' We get so tired of it. „ If we say 'But there's a war,' he says, i knew there's a- war.' 'And there's food rationing.' 'I know there's food rationing.' 'And everybody -- EVERYBODY-- has got to get into this thing, and shove ahead, so that our war effort will be the most titani^ thing that has ever happened in this world, so that our victory will be pressed down and running overthree times, four times bigger than it need be, * j that aggressive nations won't laise their heads for a thousand years!'

I have to paint them, but the paint chips easily. Last year I gave them a coat of best bridge paint and then a coat of best outdoor green paint. In no time rust began to show. What can I use that will last? Answer: Paint is apt to chip if the metal has many coats: of paint on it. If this is the case, remove the paint down to the bare metal. Thi$ can berdone by burning with a blowtorch. When the metal is clean and free of rust, apply a coat of good quality red lead; allowing at least a week for thorough drying/ Finish with two coats of top quality floor paint, the kind used for porches. If you are not familiar with the use of a blowtprch, get . someone with experience to do this* part of the job. ' Oil Burner Finish Question: ' An oil burner used in a living-room has a dark brown, roughjfinish, and always looks dusty. What kind of paint can I use on it that will be glossy and not so much of a dust catcher^ Answer: There are not many kinds of paint that withstand the heat of an oil burner. Aluminum paint will do it, .but because of the priorities, it may be difficult to obtain. Another is the black finish that is used on boilers. Whatever you use, the first step must be the thorough cleaning of the surface with something that will take off the re« mains of the finish: a solution of three pounds of washing soda in a gallon of water, for an example, followed by thorough jinsing.

He Isn't Interested When Payday Arrives CAMP ROBINSON. ARK.--Unlike Other soldiers here, Private Charles Jermane shows little concern when payday comes. When Jermaine-entered the army he subscribed for an $18.75 war bond monthly. And since he is married $22 of his pay goes to his wife. Lastly, to provide for the future, Jermaine pays $8.90 out of his check for service life insurance. states. Federal officials state there are more patients in hospitals than ever before. One of the prime reasons is that in these crowded defense areas the pople do not have the facilities at home ti^take care of themselves; therefore they crowd into hagjTitals, overloading their capacities. Moreover, it is impossible frequently to get doctors to come to private homes to deliver babies; therefore, the mothers peed to go to hospitals. * After tusseling with the Administration over roll back subsidies to keep down living costs and the anti-strike bill, the legislators will keep tReir weather eye in the direction of Washington. The administrative agencies pin much faith to their ideas on rolling back the price on some commodities as a means to check inflation. The pro-labor record of the Administration makes the solons skeptical as to what powers the Attorney-Genecal will invoke as a series of strikes spring up throughout the country.
