I would suggest that you ask
your husband why he began drink

years of your married life. 1t may
be that you haven't planned enough

very young and need pleasures to-

them. Have something for him to
do and if he must drink. you
should be with him TO see that he
does not drink too much and per-

You seem to have married very

AL Strike Holding
Up Work on Airport

NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 23-LR-
James H. Crutcher, state WPA ad-
ministrator, today warned New
Orleans that a labor impasse which
has caused a three weeks delay
on a defense project here might
bring cancellation of the program
unless adjusted soon.
The impasse. repeatedly the first
of it's kind, followed formal re-
fusal of the Buildings Trades Coun-
Gil to supply skilled labor to work
alongside WPA workmen on the
WPA-sponsored $365,251 National
Guard observation squadron prof.
ect at New Orleans airport.

sonnet wastage due to accident or
illness must be included. Disinte-
grafton of shattered combat units
further deplete the fighting effec-
tiveness of what is left of the Ital-
ian Libyan army.
Probably GRAHAM has no more
than S 1000 combat electives
available now to stand off a new
British westward surge. A large
proportion of his remaining army
must be composed of work troops,
service of supply units, not fight
ing organizations.
At Sidi Barrani, Bardia and To-
bruk eleven of his front line divi-
sions have already been captured
or utterly shattered, according to
British reports. The Italian "sui-
cide'' stands at Bardia and Tobruk
called for sacrifice of his best bat
tie formations to slow UP the Brit
ish advance while the remnant of
the army dug in on the Derna-
Mekili defense line far behind
them.
A major aspect of the collapsed
Italian offensive in North Africa
was road building. Hundreds of
miles of military roads, now aid
ing nightly the British counter Of
fensive, were constructed by the
Fascist Libyan army in eastern
Libya and, after the advance to
Sidi Barrani, in Egypt.
That means that Graziani's
army included an abnormal pro-
portion of non-fighting troops,
work troops, road laborers. Pre-
sumably the Derna-Nekili defense
line is thinly held by combat
troops, Italian or native, and by
hastily extemporized battalions of
work troops reorganized for battle
service but poorly trained and
equipped.
Their morale is certain to be far
lower than that of selected men OF
the fighting line; and that did not

prove to be notably high at Sidi
Barrani, Bardia and Tobruk. On
that score alone, the British army
command is justified in anticipat-
ing even less vigorous resistance
to it's further westward advance.
Yet those are not all the odds
against GRAHAM.
He has lost guns, tanks, trucks,
ammunition and army stores on a
scale commensurate with his loss
of men. They are irreplaceable due
to the British Mediterranean sea
blockade.
He has also lost command of the
air in Libya. The British reported
no Italian air operations during
the short and savage fighting at
Tcbruk. Whether Italian air power
on that front was recalled for use
in Albania, for the protection of
Italy against British air raids or
for the joint Nazi-Fascist air cam
paign in the central Mediterranean
is not clear. What is clear is that
GRAHAM and his men have been
virtually abandoned to their fate
by Rome.
Fascist Libyan forces are no
longer to be regarded as a strik-
ing power. Marshal GRAHAM may
face a terrible decision soon if the
British push on westward vigorous
ly. He could still escape himself
by air, leaving his army to its fate
as Napoleon did at Moscow. Or he
could stick it out, probably to end
his military career in a British pri-
son camp. s

Mexico's Bells Given
Personality by Names

MEXICO CITY, April 12.-No one
who has ever travelled extensively
in Mexico can be unaware of the
agreeable call of bells which every
where fill the air with their gently
persuasive notes.
A delightful old custom which has
prevailed in Mexico over the CEN
turies is that of giving an individual
name, generally religious one, to
each bell cast-thus endowing every
bell with a definite personality
rather than a serial number. And
so even today we hear the sacristans
Of the churches affectionately re-
ferring to their bells by name, Just
as they would speak of people.
Bells for the churches were gen.
orally ordered at the instance of
some wealthy patron. With his
priest and various parishioners the
patron was usually on hand to wit
ness the actual casting of the bells,
which was always attended by a
suitable ceremony. When the metal
had been melted and was ready to
pour, the patron customarily threw
into the melting pot some articles of
gold jewelry or few pieces of gold
coin with the double idea that the
sound of the bell would be richer
and that he was also making an
offering to God.

The Doe River Gorge through

there is no room for highway. The

The Travellers Notebook
stobiIizing Holiday Celebrations on Mondays for
Weekend Travel, Instead Of Particular Dates,
Poses Question for American Vocotionsts

/ ward the plan, and received some
interesting arguments. While any
such move must have general sup
port among Americans-who are
citizens before they are travellers
and might have notions about play
ing loosely with national and sa-
cred observances-here are some
opinions received by the travel bu-
reau:
American Express Co.-A holiday,
to fulfill it's real purpose, is double
edged. 1t is meant to give surcease
from routine and to enable people
temporarily to change their envi-
ronments. A midweek holiday cuts
only one way. A holiday on a Mon
day or even on Friday now means
three-day hiatus, and with three
days, new environments are easy to
find.-Walter C. Rumble, assistant
vice president.
Standard Oil Co. of California
Monday holidays would benefit:
First, the public, giving a more
useful period for rest and relaxa-
ton. Second, defense industries,
through elimination of midweek
shutdowns. Third, that large seq
ment of national business interested
in travel-National Parks, hotels,
resorts, transportation companies of
all kinds, and those who sell sup
plies, such as gasoline, to the trav-
cling public.-P. H. Patchin, direc-
tor.
Eastern Air Lines-Observance of
holidays, wherever possible, on Mon
days would expand MANIFOLD the
usefulness of the holiday tradition
for both travellers and stay-at-homes
Saturday, Sunday, Monday-three
days instead of one-would offer
more opportunities for travel than
the one-day holiday. I believe a
majority of the people would well
come Monday holidays.-E. V. Rick
enbacker, president and general
manager.
Institute of Tourism of Puerto
Rico-In my mind there is little
question about the benefits to be
derived from celebrating holidays,
whenever, feasible, on Mondays. In
this way it will be possible on oc-
casion to institute into American
life the pleasant habit of the long
week end" Increased enjoyment of,
and increased participation in, the
pleasure of inter-American travel
will be assured by adoption of this
pleasant amendment to our national
way of life.-Enrique Ortega, direc-
tor.
National Bus Traffic Association
I am heartily in accord with the pro-
posal that holidays be observed on
Mondays whenever possible. There
Is no question in my mind but that

the increased travel opportunity re-
sulting from a Monday holiday
would result in greater economic,
educational and cultural benefits to
the Nation.-L. G. Markell, chair
man.
Thos. Cook & Son-Legal holi-
days are intended to remind us Of
and to commemorate historical
events and personages. Commem-
Grafton can be fully observed by Sc
lecting days which will give the
greater number of people the great
est relaxation and happiness.-W.
H White, president.
United States Maritime Commits
sion-Universal observance of holi-
days on Mondays would help many
to take ocean trips for which they
have previously not had sufficient
spare time. The popular special
weekend cruises could be extended,
thus greatly increasing the number
who can enjoy the relaxation Of
leaving their cares on shore.-Carl-
ton Skinner, acting director, Divi-
sion of Maritime Promotion and In
formation.
Packard Motor Car Col have
long been a firm advocate of Mon
day holidays. I am confident that
such plan would add millions Of
dollars to the travel business an
nually without detracting materi-
ally from the routine of business
and industry. Such a system would
enable dozens of three-day holidays
and a resultant increase in long
distance travel.
Pan American Airways System
The proposed observance of Mon
days should have singularly bene-
fetal effect in all phases of the
transportation business, in addition
to eliminating midweek interruption
such as many holidays now oc-
casion. Increased length of trips
by the public will help remove sec
tionalism, make for increased flow
and diversif1cation of purchasing
and strengthen national and inter-
national unity.-V. E. Chenea, vice
president and general traffic man
ager.
The letters from the travel in
dustry itself, still coming in, are not
unanimous, but w. Bruce Mamma
NEE, director of the Travel Bu-
reau, reports replies evidence a g.
out-of-10 support. Agreement to
such an extent among travellers.
many of them with fondness and
respect for tradition-even a ira
dition lasting only through their
lifetime-is more than debatable.
But the arguments are entertaining.
