It may be that you were discharged before mustering-out pay was adopted, and if not, you were discharged for your own convenience to take a job in war industry, and without overseas service, are not entitled to mustering- out pay. You are entitled to benefits of the G.I. bill, however. ~ Q. My hashaad Jeiaed the maeorps la Jaae, IMS.

Any superior officer who knows! your husband's record could correct his record insofar as the bronze stars are concerned, the marine corps says. It is true that it is the policy of the marine corps not to reship men with 40 points overseas. It is also true that your husband has more than enough pointa to make him eligible for discharge. The ma rine corpe, however, says there are many reasons why he may have been shipped back for duty, one being, he may have requested overseas service. Suggest you write direct to the marine corps headquarters, Washington, D. C., and ask for details concerning your husband's record. Q. Can a serviceman stop his allotment te his wife aad child? A. If you mean his family allowance, which is made up of equal contributions from the soldier's pay and the army, no, he cannot stop that. He can stop his allotment, which is a voluntary contribution of the soldier to his dependents over and above his family allowance. Q. Wheu they start discharging servicemen with two years Of service will they include only Ihose already serving two years er will it be effective for all • When their two years are up?-- §¥ife, Chelsea, Kan.

By KATHLEEN NORMS OME months ago I wrote an article filled with sympathy for today's young mothers. 1 dwelt upon the difficulties they encounter in marketing, washing, cleaning, cooking, babytending, with so little help. Irecalled the fact that we, who artf mothers, in our young days could always secure the assistance of some competent woman, who managed kitchen and nursery, stood by us in all domestic crises, and left us plenty of time for occasional evening amusements, for theater, dancing, dinner parties. ' ' The drudgery of today's mothers, their struggle* ia the markets, the steady care of restless,. exacting children, the monotonous round of preparing meals and clearing them away, washing and ironing clothes, only to ifave them thrown into the tube to repeat the process, -- well, altogether it summed up what seemed to me pretty strenuous living. But a certain young wife of Seaford, L. I., vigorously disagrees with me. She writes me a scathing letter about it 1 la MS 14 rlsan, aad I mysai/ "I am 22," she says. "Before my marriage I was a show girl, and ^ am more supple and better looking now than I was then. I have two babies, 22 and 7 months old. I do all.the housework, cooking, washing, cleaning, mending, ironing, baking, cutting the lawn and shopping, with stores five miles away. I help in the garden, do all my own preserving and canning, and make all mine and the children's clothes, from hats to winter coats and bathing suits. I keep up my acrobatics, reading and organ playing. Time to Go Oat With Husband. "Certainly there are baby toys about, but the place is neat and clean, and I myself am always dressed in a clean, cheerful costume, with costume jewelry and hair bows and so on. I am always willing to dance, at home, with my husband in the evenings, go for long walks with him and the children on his days off, and dance the night away when we can get someone to mind the babies. "I also," the letter continues, "make all our rag rugs, curtains, afghans, quilts, blankets and pil-;; lows, and still have plenty of time left over. I am not bragging, for my neighbor on the left does all this with eight children, from 6 months to 18 years, and all fifty neighbors have from four to six children, and are still beautiful women, wearing sizes 12 and 14. "The women you quote," the letter ends, "must be slatterns and idiots." • • One can only ^respectfully agree with this fiery little housewife, and warmly congratulate her husband and the husbands of her clean, capable, cheerful -- yet undersized -- neighbors. They must have some secret that many other women, have not yet mastered. Preserves, dancing, long walks and the making of jjillows take time, and eight chilg £ WEAL HOME-MAKERS A/any young mothers hmve been complaining bitterly mbout the difficulties of coring for one or two children daring the last four years. Scarcities of almost every necessity, dote laundry service, ead a hundred other vexations made the always trying tasks doubly hard. Betides that, it hat been almost impotable to Aire eay household help. To add to all this, many servicemen's wives have had to work uihen they could, to add to their small ia> come from the government. Even with peace again over the land, these war-born problems are still here for the most part, and will be for many months. TSome women, however, have tuch courage, energy and pride that they refute to be downout by hardships. Today's article contains a letter from a group of New York mother» who take everything in stride, and seem to have a good time doing it. These young woman have from two to esffc* children. They do practically all their own work, including • lot of tewing and gardening. Yet they tomehow have time for dancet and parties occadoUoUy.
