Marine Inspection Head
Urges Naval Conveys
NV the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-
Richard S. Field, director of the
Bureau of Marine Inspection and
Navigation, recommended yesterday
that Navy escorts convoy American
shipping wherever possible.
I'VE should not adopt half meas-
ures," the retired naval commander
told the Propeller Clubs 18th an
nual convention.
Asserting that United States neu-
trality "has long since gone with the
wind" Comdr. Field continued:
II hope that We shall soon send
our vessels to all parts of the world
without restriction, and thereby
practice as we'll as preach our an
cient insistence on the freedom of
the seas.
1--WE have the means with which
to protect our merchant vessels and
IN the face of the threat which has
already taken the shape of attacks
and actual sinkings, we should pro-
vide them with effective naval escort
on such routes and to such distance
as the availability of our naval force
will permit"

Marble is stressing the need Tor
them to carry on as effectively as
possible under the carefully cor

College Girls Can Help.
"They can best help" she said,
"by volunteering for defense actlv-

college girls even contemplate drop

Women Must Keep Fit to Help
In War, Alice Marble Says
Defense Aide Tells
How They Assist
Nation in Crisis
BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS.


"One way for women to be effec-
tive in helping with national de-
fense is for us to make ourselves as
physically fit as possible to do the
jobs that are assigned to u.s. says
Alice Marble, former world tennis
champion and now assistant di-
rector of civilian defense in charge
of national physical training for
women.
I'VE must now do things in a
hurry" she added. Hurry eats up
vitality and reserve strength. 1t
therefore behooves us to build up
and maintain our physical reserves
for this necessary acceleration by
eating sensibly, dressing sensibly
and getting sensible amounts Of
sleep, rest and fresh air if we are
to give our best in the program for
essential volunteer tasks"
Miss Marble personifies the
physical fitness she commends to
others. She knows all about achiev-
ing it the hard way, too. from per-
sonal experience. A severe illness
once necessitated a two-year regime
of recuperation. BY means of a
rigid schedule of diet, exercise and
rest, she regained top tennis form
Self-Discipline Necessary.
Women who really want to help
with defense" she told this inter-
viewer, have to be able to take
hours of physical strain and discom-
fort in an unvarying and sometimes
monotonous schedule. A routine OF
self discipline is necessary fol

Champagne Sky-High,
But Scotch is Plentiful

New York.-An acute shortage here
of imported champagne has driven the
price sky-high over the holidays which
is expected to force most people to
stick to Scotch, which is plentiful.
Champagnes which sold last year
for SO are up to $13, and the $11 cham
pagnes have jumped to SIT. Some
champagnes are as high as $18 and 500.
Few are expected to pay these prices,
and domestic champagne, it is said,
does not sell very well in night clubs.
Even scarcer are brandies which
have jumped in many spots from 10
to rs cents and as high as 81. Bene-
dictines and cordials have doubled in
price.
