REED IJTPS NOT PERMIT THE FLAG TO BE DESECRATED: Confiderable opposition has developed over the proposal sponsored by ^ Senator Barbcur of New Jersey for ! a new "Victory" postage stamp to fcave designed thereon the United States flag. It is contended (and we think with a great deal of merit) that is is wholly unnecessary to sub- \ject the picture of Old Glory to the Ink smears and cancellation marks .font must necessarily be attendant vspon its use as a postage stamp.

Black Particles Provide Whitest of Substances "Titanium oxide, one of the whitest substances known and used largely | to increase the whiteness and hiding^! power of paint, paradoxically i$J>rO- j duced from black particles of il- ! menite which is found with other | sand or ore and has to be separated from it before processing. It is then caicined and finally emerges as the white titanium oxide used in paint. Titanium oxide also is used in the manufacture of cosmetics, compounding of rubber, in the manufacture of white or lightcolored leathers, and has other uses. Although ilmenite was found in various parts of the United States, and titanium was manufactured in this country, the bulk of the ilmenite consumed in the United States was imported from British India. When the war disrupted shipping, it appeared for a time that ilmenite and titanium would be scarce, but the development of important deposits in New York state, in the Tahawus region, where ilmenite is found in an ore body of titanium bearing magnetite, has assured an adequate supply of the material for manufacture and other uses. paint NAVAL TRAINING J'. »»* Captain--So you think you know how to handle an oar.

By KATHLEEN NORRIS ARRIET BARNES, 38 years old, is one of many women who finds a wartime schedule somewhat distracting. She works at a lathe from seven at night until after midnight; comes home exhausted to drink a cup of coffee and sleep until perhaps bine or ten. Her husband's hours are from eight until four, nominally, but he often works until early evening. The daughter teaches i in a night school and folds bandages for the Red Cross every afternoon. Harriet goes to market at about two o'clock, gets her own supper at six, leaves something inviting for Larry, and goes off to work. Linda and her young man usually join Larry for dinner, but they have to hurry off, too, to their waiting classes. The sons of the family are in the navy. "Sometimes I ask myself if we are the happy group of ten years ago," writes Harriet. "My lovely eightyear- old girl, my boy twins, were busy and content then with homework, Scouts, ram ies, comics, radio, helping mother make doughnuts, going off for long picnic trips in the old car--not a cloud, and not a bomber, in the sky.

Other WARTIME ADJUSTMENTS Mother's war plant job, besides helping to u-in the tear, is caut• ing her family to realise and appreciate many of"the little details of household management which she silently disposed of in the pre-war days. But now they are cropping up when she it at work and their proper solution is for the whole family to pitch in and not leave everything for mother to do. Husbands and children at home can do many housekeeping tasks such as washing dishes, setting the table, putting things in their right places, and generally helping to keep the house neat. Harriet, your problem is that of many women today, and while I don't always advise them as I do you, still my usual suggestion is that they continue to, work while the government needs them, and let the other members of the family come to appreciate two things. One is the pleasure and excitement that Mother gets when she is paid for what she does and has her own j money to spend, instead of managing somehow on what is left from ! the payment of household bills. And the other is the realization of what clever management, patience, concentration, service an ordinary home demands if it is to be comforts ably and smoothly run. For these two things Mother has long waited. Harriet Helping Win War.

"My husband and daughter want me to stay home and keep the house in the old way. That means careful management, money shortage, and no more payment on the mortgage, which is now down to $1,300. Larry can give me ab^ut $65 a month for household expenses; Linda pays odd bills-- sometirrieM telephone or gas, and for her OWTJ lunch and clothing costs. Now and then the boys send Ma a special check, but most of their money gees to government bonds. I didn't say, but you may have inferred it, that counting pay and overtime, I am "jeing paid more than husband and da Jghter together. I knew that'is only temporary, but I would he £lad to nr.ake good use of it while it lasts." sideration that influences me in ad- ! vising Harriet to stick to her job, ! is that we are fighting a great war-- winning a great war, I dare to say i now. We are-winning it because a ' constant unbroken lifeline of ships | is moving steadily toward the battle j fronts; the lonely far-away islands 1 of the Pacific and of Alaska's wa- ' ters, the ports of England and Rus- ; sia and China. Our boys watch for these ships; . they know when they come in. They would know it, instantly, and withi; the first chill touch of doubt in their j courageous hearts, if that line { stopped. They need to feel--they i MUST feel--that every one of us 1 here at home is behind them. That 1 in America the forges and welders ahd cranes and tackles and smelters and foundries are smoking and roaring day and night; that the railways are hot with the pressure of thundering trains; that sweating crews are swarming on the docks, shouldering the great bars of steel, the crates and boxes and barrels, and that ships are sliding from the ways, taking to the deep seas, as ships have never in the history of the world been launcljgd before. This can only go on if we do all we can--and more than we can--to keep the tremendous ^machinery moving. Harriet's lathe is only one of a million; Harriet's sons are only two 6f two million, but they are THERE, where Untie Sam wants them, filling to the brim their own microscopic part of the titanic eftort that is war. If Larry, the husband, and Linda, the daughter, did their share of the housekeeping, the marketing and managing, the problem would be solved. It is not fair to leave to Harriet the entire burden of buying and cooking, cleaning and planning. As it is she is doing most of the work at home, most of the buying, and' also filling a most important war job and helping to make life safe for everyone she loves after the war. This is an overbalanced schedule; but the fault is not Harriet's. Burma Split Burma's 14Vi million persons are divided into lowlanders and highlanders. Along the central valley dwell the lowland Burmese, a quiet, passive, rice-growing people with a culture that in the past built immense and gaudy temples along the Irrawaddy.
