"Okay, you Jugs. Hit tn deck!' Duffy Kelso opened one eye and squinted at the big seaman below ing into the crews quarters. Duffy Shuddered.

 When he looked up again the big fellow was standing over him. grinning.
 "C'mon buttercup. Time to bloom. What do you think you're doin'?"
 "Right now" Duffy muttered, I'm hoping you fall overheard before you're a day older. WhatSa idea getting me up in the middle of the night?"
 Next thing Duffy knew the blankets were rudely pulled from his bunk. Its almost three bells, the seaman roared. "Cap'n Han- sen sent some new duffle down for you Jugs. Get into it and lay to-"

 A red-headed seaman came in "Hiya boys," he began. "Hiya Duly. Guess you don't remember me, do ya?"

A Mississippi school teacher sends

BRITISH SUDDENLY FRANK

What is happening in England to-
day is barrage of truth. Sudden
ly, British censors have passed a
succession of news stories which ad-
NIT what U. S. military observers
long ago knew, that the damage in
England was terrific, that airplane
production had slowed down, and
that British shipping was in more
desperate predicament than during
some of the dark days of the first
World war.
These facts also have been ad-
mitted by responsible cabinet Off
GERS on the floor of parliament. The
sudden frankness means only one
thing-the British are telling us that
unless they get even greater help
from the United States, they may
face defeat.
Actually the situation has not
changed materially, except for the
willingness of the British to talk
about it. The odds definitely have
been against the British from the
very minute France surrendered.
But thanks to the Greeks and the
failures of the Italian fleet, British
odds have improved considerably,
though they are not yet $3.50.

NEW MEXICAN PRESIDENT

In the dispatches about the inaug-

Mexico's new president, Manuel

his mother, who stands upright in
her grave in the state of Puebla.
Sonora Camacho de Avila, mother
of four sons, was one of the most
colorful and dynamic women in the
history of Mexico. She died only a
year ago, and her last words were
to direct that she should be buried
upright in the ground. 1.-The Avila
Camachos," she said, "have always
stood on their feet"
Accordingly, the coffin was put
into the ground in an upright posi-
ton, in the town of Tezuitlan, state
of Puebla.
The people of that state needed
no such graphic action to remem-
Der her. For her sons will not al
low her to be forgotten. One now
becomes president of the country.
Another, Maximino Avila Camacho,
