Are American women becoming
soft and mushy appeasers? Have
they lost that fighting spirit. that
dauntless courage that made their
grandmothers tie their sunbonnets
with a tighter knot under their
chins and climb into the covered
wagon without a backward look as
they started forth with their hus-
bands to face the hardsh.ps. the
dangers and death in helping to
carve out an empire in the wider
ness? Does the modern mother,
when his country is in danger, say
to her son: Let George defend it.
You stay at home and take things
easy instead of emulating the
Spartan mother who adjured her
son to come back from battle with
his shield or on it? I ask these
questions with fear and shape be-
cause 1 am told by those who are
in q position to know that the chief
thing that is the matter with the
morale of the draftees in our Army
camps is the ceaseless bombardment

which they are subjected. They
are kept soaked in the tears of their
mothers and wives and sWeethearts
until they haven't an inch of back
bone or an ounce of gimp left in
them. and it seems far more impor-
tant to them TO get back TO moth
er's apple pies and the Saturday
night dance than it Is TO save free
dom for the world.
If you should call these womer
traitors, they would bitterly resent
1t, but no fifth columnist ever be-
trayed his native land more thor
oughly than they do when they
take the heart out of the boys who
are being trained TO defend thei
country by making them believe
| that Job isn't worthwhile
Our danger is not from the brazer
voice Of the politician shouting u
the boys in camp that they ar,
being befooled and exploited by &
tyrannical and idiotic Government

What we need TO fear is the sob

they have nobody to take them u

The ruff for gaining weight vi

Inc RUE Tor gaming weight WHICH
I am giving you today Is an ex-
tremely important one. 1t is difncult
for many women to work into their
routine. but here 1t is:
Relax completely just before meals
Lie down in a room. all alone, close
your eyes and truly relax. This
NAV sound like an impossible dream
OF heaven, but l believe that most
of you will be able to work it out in
some form.
If YOU cook the meals for your
family set the table and prepare
things a little ahead of time, then
rest before serving dinner. This
may mean leaving the bridge game
a little early or giving up a shop
ping tour, but do it for nine days,
PLEASE.
II YOU work in an ONCE take the
rest before your evening meal any
way. Hardest of all. if you work
and then come home to prepare the
evening meal, do as much of 1t the
night before as you can. This
seemingly simple rule will aid ap-
petite and assimilation greatly.
Many underweight women have
a bust measurement which is too
small for beauty. After you have
gained your first 5 or 10 pounds do
the following for an increase:
Lie on the floor. Bend the elbows
and place one hand on each side
of the bust. Curl the toes around
toward the floor so you can push
from them. Straighten the elbows
and push from the toes and the
hands, lifting the body from the
floor. Keep a straight line from
head to the heels with the hands
and the feet supporting the weight

eral times each day.

FIGURES DIFFER
 ON REGISTRATION
ll,Sl3 Aliens Registered Here Reports Phelan TO-.
 64l Says F. B. l.

William J. Phelan. director of alien registration bureau in Water- bury, said that tabulations released by the department of justice listed 10,64i aliens in Waterbury, while the local bureau at the post office count ed 1l,8l3 aliens.
 This discrepancy in figures, MT. Phelan said, he was unable to eX- plain but he stated that the reason for the difference may be that out of town persons employed here were sent to the post office by factory foremen to register. He pointed out that those who received their final citizenship papers in January were to be excluded from the list, and there were several hundred, then the official figure would be accurate.
 Biggest number of aliens living in Connecticut are in New Haven with Q listing of 33,684, with Hartford second with a total registration of 20 O,460. Bridgeport Is third on the list with 18,796 aliens.
 Waterbury's own figures were Ill., 8l3 aliens with almost Q difference of 1900 as compared with the off, cial tabulation of the department of justice. New Britain has an alien population of 7,585.

SERVICE PROGRAM
 ADOPTED BY WPA
New Name Expresses Type of Work Declares State
 Director

The Professional and Service Division of the WPA has been in- structetl by Mrs. Florence Kerr, aS- sLstant commissioner at Washington that the name of the division has been changed to the Division of Com munity Service Programs, according to a statement yesterday by Frank Upman, Jr., acting administrator for Connecticut.
 "The new name more nearly ex- presses the nature of our work since we arc exclusively engaged in con- ducting projects which serve the communities in our state" said Mary M. Hughart, director of the division. "The school lunches, sew. ing. hospital aides, recreation, edu- cation, records, and all the other projects operated by the division fall within the classification of com munity services because each is requested by some civic, social, town, municipal, county or state group to meet a local need"
 Because 1t is felt that many of the projects now functioning are important "home defense" measures, leaders in many communities are being urged to study ways and means in which the present WPA set-up can be of service. Toward that end, advisory committees are being organized In several cities to cooperate with the local defense councils in determining how WPA projects can best help.
 Particular stress Is being placed upon the training of workers to take up defense work. For example, workers on the school lunch project are being trained in quantity prep aration of food, an experience which could be turned to important &C., count should emergency arise in which refugees were to be fed. The sewing projects are equipped to be pressed into service for uniform re- pair, for making supplementary Wind-proof clothing for ski troops and many other helpful jobs. By means of the intensive program for training hospital workers which is already under way, many important positions in hospitals and sana- toriums can be filled by these semi- skilled men and women in order to release the professional personnel for their essential work.
 Speaking of the work done by the community service projects in speeding the vital paper work of wartime organizations, the New York Herald Tribune of February l6 says, "The WPA contributions are manifold, but especial notice should be taken of its research and record studies being undertaken in antici- patton of the nations military ac- tivities should 1t become involved in warfare. The studies may br divid- ed into two categories: those deal ing with the physical aspects of defense, such as surveys of roads and natural resources, and the compilation of records of manpower, health and recreational facilities"

7he Creeping Act! Police Blamed for Waterburians Creeping Be- tween Fruit Boxes, Parking Meters-Anti- Display Ordinance Defeated by Aldermen

The Board of Aldermen last night rejected proposed city ordinance introduced several months ago by Alderman Joseph Reiner, Republican leader, which was aimed at forbidding use of sidewalks for store displays and other commercial purposes. The vote was taken after a committee had reported that Corporation Counsel J. Gregory Lynch believed the ordinance to be unnecessary.
 The corporation counsel told the committee that the proposed 0r- dinance was 50 sweeping in it's provisions that 1t would ban news boys from selling papers and would prevent street advertising. He said that existing ordinances cover the situation.
 "The police should do some cn forcing, then" said Alderman Bur ton H. Walker. "Now we have to creep between fruit boxes and parking meters whenever we're down town"
 Alderman George Kingston moved that the police be instructed to enforce present ordinances against blocking of the sidewalks, but the chairman did not call for q vote on 1t. Alderman Patrick Shea
