By Basil Gordon.

Time is one of the great mysteries OF
life, even though explained by Einsten,
who treats it boldly by mixing it up with
space and handles it roughly with diff
ferential equations until it behaves for
him. For every one else, it seems to act
according to its own whims. For III
stance, it favors wine but not women,
and friendship but not fish or furniture.
The latter statement will, of course, be
challenged bitterly by lovers of antique
furniture. To them, every passing year
nay, every day that luck allows it to
hold together-enhances its value. Their
only regret is that they cannot live an
other 20 centuries and watch it auto
matically grow into million-dollar relics.
To the non-antiquer the value of
furniture lies solely in its disability. A
kitchen table by the pantry's rim SIM
pie kitchen table is to him, and nothing
more. If it happens to be too wormy
and wobbly to support even radish
without danger of collapse, then it is
ripe for the kindling bin, and the sooner
it gets there the better.
The antique furniture fan would not
mind. If Martha Washington had sliced
boloney on it in 1884, that would be
enough. 1t would even be enough if it
looked like the table on which she sliced
boloney, and at the same time was suf-
flciently decrepit to have been used for
that purpose by some one else in that era.
The most rabid antiquers are usually
feminine which may have something to
do with their success in keeping their
addiction secret until they step away
from the altar, when it is too late for the
parties of the second part, fresh from
having just promised to take them for
better or for worse, to do anything about
it. What the ladies do afterwards To
The home is often too hideous to men
ton.
There was, for example, the case OF
wife who brought back from Europe, in
the days before Europe was mad
house, an object which she insisted was
a refectory table from a Spanish monas-
terry, and which she had gotten for
song. The song, it turned out, was In
complete and her husband had to finish

Supplying the Peacetime Army

And every man gets almost a pound
of meat a day. The beef alone will re-
Quire 5000 choice carcasses.
The supplying of food to fighting men
is perhaps the most important but not
the only vital behind-the-lines function
that keeps the Army in winning form.
Traffic experts-both ran and road
had to work months planning for the
movement of the quarter million SOL
diers to Southwestern Louisiana from
posts from Florida to Texas. And it
is an intricate, almost split-minute job
to keep II divisions moving swiftly and
directly under battle conditions, even
though the maneuver area approximates
10000 square miles. This includes space
for the opposing I'd Army, almost as
large as the Sd.
1t cost S102,99 just for rail fare to get
the Sd Army soldiers here. While
they're here they'll burn 23,500,O00 GAL
Ions of gasoline, with the average for all
vehicles less than 10 miles to the gallon.

it with few more notes from his wallet,
for ocean freight, customs duties and
express from New York. but what really
counted was the table itself.
The top, having the weird dimensions
of II feet by 2, consisted of hand-hacked
random width cracked boards, black with
incrusted dirt, stained all over with
rings from beer mugs, and literally COW
cred with initials cut by numerous blunt
pen knives. 1t was impossible to place
even a dime on it in a level position.
Beneath, it had more legs than a foot
ball team, crosS-braced with tangle OF
miscellaneous lumber that effectively
prevented any human legs from flttiHs
in. 1t was understood that the monks
had voluntarily resigned comfort, but
not understood, by the husband, how
they had ever used that table.
This atrocity was set up in the living
room, and every time any one brushed
against it, down it went. In other parts
of the room were chairs almost as bad,
and strictly forbidden by the wife for
practical use. From time to time guests
would come in and sit on them, almost
invariably breaking them, and off they
would go to the repair shop. Sometimes
the guests needed repairs, too. The sug-
gestion that all this crummy, wobbly
Junk be thrown away was received cold
", although the husband promised to
replace them with Grand Rapids best
efforts.
He was told that Grand Rapids was the
plague spot of America, peopled by
demons who actually used power pre-
cision tools in their foul work of making
raw new furniture that was strong, dur
able and accurately cut and fitted.
AS doctors admit that there is no
known cure for the victim of antiquitis.
the author feels that the problem should
lie attacked from different angle. Let
the sufferer have her antiques, but
forbid her to call them furniture. Insist
that they be labeled for what they really
are, museum pieces, and be kept in a
museum. For families in moderate cir
cumstances, an antique abandoned coal
bin in an odd corner Of the cellar will
do very nicely as a museum.

War Changes Life in Bermuda

HAMILTON, Bermuda. - Americans,
who once came here as lazing tourists,
have come this time in deadly earnest
to build military and naval bases.
They have put new hustle in the once
quiet life of this island resort-and
posed tough problems for the people of
these islands.
The motors of automobiles and trucks
are heard on streets whose quiet seldom
was broken before except by the clop-
clop of passing carriage horse.
Hotels where tourists played have be-
come offices and clubrooms for workers,
soldiers, sailors and officers.
And Bermuda natives are faced with
a skyrocketing cost of living and
shortage of houses.

The British Are Here, 5000 Strong!
By Clarke Beach.

Things began to fall out of the sky In
Britain one day, and now there are more
British in Washington than at any time
since 1914.
About 5000 employees Of the British
government are here, of whom 1000 or
more are British citizens.
There are R. A. F. pilots, fresh from
the fight in London and Berlin skies.
There are scores of girls in the women's
auxiliaries of the services-the w. A. A.
F.. the w. R. E. N. and the A. T. S.-who
arrived by clipper and bomber ferry.
There are scientists, oxford dons and
barristers aiding the war missions. Lords
and ladies', many knights and one
eourtier, along with hundreds of plain
working people are holding clerks and
stenographers' jobs.
Many Of them have had their houses
IN England bombed out, all of them have
suffered some loss. Their sons, brothers
or husbands are fighting, and sometimes
they receive the fatal cable. informing
them that their men have made the
supreme sacrifice.
They carry on, refusing to pause in
their war effort for even an hour. The
wife of Rear Admiral John U. P. Fitz-
gerald, holding a routine job, received
notice a short time ago that her hus-
band had been killed while in convoy
service: then she came right back to
her desk and neither she nor any one
spoke of it that day One official at the
Supply Council had three sons in the
Navy; two of them have been killed,
and there has been no word from the
other one for long time. But he and
his friends never discuss it. The Hon.
orable Ava Baird while working as
stenographer here, lost her father, Lord
Stonehave, former governor general OF
Australia.
There are no flags and few posters
or slogans around the Offices There is
almost no talk of the war. One Amer
lean secretary says she hasn't heard
the subject discussed three times in the
past year; the phenomenon of British
calm and reserve is mystery to her.
One woman official explains it this
way:
There is nothing you can say about
the war. We have written off our assets,
and now we have job to do. There is
nothing more to be said.
1T is easier to face the war when you
are in London than when you are here.
People there are more poised about it.
