dress is Pvt. Ben c. Montgomery

How is that for an address,
nice, isn't it? We are living in
huts, 10 men in each hut. We
have separate steel cots and are
very comfortable. We are now
having some time to do as we
please on the week ends, but /
think the first week end | will
stay around here and get settled
and learn the Post. We are in a
branch called the Fleet Marine
Force and are going to take a
very interesting course in the
study of firearms and formations
used in warfare. Really this is all
very interesting and | am going
to enjoy it very much.
| will tell you about the me-
dals | received before leaving
Paris Island
Bayonet medal. You run a
course of six dummies spread ov-
er a stretch Of so yards. You
must give each dummy the cor
rect stab and run the course in
40 seconds. | did it in 35 sec
onds and received a medal.
Browning Automatic medal.
The last three days on Paris Is
land we fired our rifles for rec
ords. This is a dandy rifle and
fires around 500 shots a minute.
On record day | made a score Of
46 out of possible So The best
record for the day and, Boy!, was
| proud. 1t is really a thrill to
put the shots in the bullseye. For
this | received a medal.
We have at last received our
full uniforms and | am so proud
Of mine. | am at last a Marine,
the best branch of the whole SER
vice.

would actually like this but l
really do. | feel swell and eat

With Love,

ten been proven that one way to
ascertain whether people are
reading the paper, is to make an
error or two-you always find

| imagine that fellows like
John Dolan at The Hub, Harold
Pierce at the Cornell; Emersons,
and Hermann's clothing stores,
will be wondering just what kind
of illustrations to use in their
advertising come the no-cuff
trousers, and skimpy cut coats
and pants. What will bother the

to take off his shoes to change

Western Hemisphere, and also Investigating tho possibilities of other rubber bearing shrubs.
 Thus the war seems to have partial good side It is doubtful that without the any large pro- gram for the production of rubber would have beer launched at present 4e& de<c.
 The guayule plant is a sow-growing shrub native to limestone slopes of north central Mexico and in the Big Bend of Texas. Commercial shipments of guayue rubber have been made from Mexico for many years but uncertainty of market price and competition of cheap labor outside of the United States has kept the development of guayule rubber confined to Mexico. ,.atfcs oo Es s-,s More than 000 strains of the plant have been studied in preliminary experiments and selections have been made which after four years in the field yield 20 percent of rubber, based on dry weight of the shrubs. At present de-resnation of the rubber is not practiced because the needs for which the rubber has been limited have not required this But resnated suayule product have reported it to be requiring changes in manufacturing plants or equipment f'r t.H
 The shrub is cultivated like corn-.four times the first year, three times the second and third and twice the fourth Harvesting is confined to the dor mant period when the rubber content of the plant is highest. Best returns are obtained from shrubs four to seven years old but plants be taken ear- Her s.
 The entire shrub is harvested practically all of the rubber being found in the cells in the cortex underlying the bark of the roots stem and large branches The process of separating the rubber from the wood is carried on by continuous disnegration and flotation method, requiring minimum of labor

Rebuilt For Action
Cincinnati Enouirer)


 At time when the public outcry for swiftel and more aggressive action is reaching large dimen- sons, the reorganization of the army by drastic streamlnng process might look like gesture to pla- cate the public. It may have that secondary role But it is much more. The consolidation of the en- tire army structure in three commands - ground forces, air forces, and suppys revolutionary step
 The distinctions between infantry artillery and cavalry have lost much of their meaning and the separate commands over them abolished The air arm has come to place of immense importance and this is recognized in the new setup by giving air forces rank equal with all ground forces The ser vice of supply has been broken up into many com partmentS with consequent delay and confusion It now is integrated under single command.
 One obvious gain by the new scheme is to elinl- mate the delays entailed in routing every project or problem through several offices in the General Staff Another to insure that the officer works out a given problem also has the actual power to put his solution into effect The reorganization does not add anything much to the unity of command in the field. But it does not initiate against that unity
 In respect to supply but to supply only the new setup was put into operation during the first World War. It was successful under the dynamic leader ship of General Goethes. It should work we'll under General Breton Summervell, an engineer officer of great abilty-and energy.
 The reorganization will insure that the fighting men and weapons muster will be used with through with greater energy and decision

SPEED IS IMPORTANT

Donald M. Nelson, chairman of the War Pro- duction Board, seems to have put into practice one of the fundamental precepts of modern war-that speed, and not price is what pays off in producing war materials
 Nelson has suspended competitive bidding on military contracts in order speed delivery of planes tanks, ships and equipment and to give more war contracts to small manufacturers.
 This is an order-not talk of plan for bits and pieces farming out"
 Of course, it will cost more
 Small companies just can't in many cases pro- duce articles Of war as cheaply as mass produc- tion industries Last fall for instance the Washing ton Merry Round reported that one company submitted a bid for Sl1OO for a gun which bigger companies were making for $500.
 It was not question of profteering. The dis parity was due to the fact that the smaller company was not experienced in mass production methods
 Under Nelsons order, the small company will get the order despite the added cost United States figting men will get the guns
 This does not there will be an orgy of spending or that there will be return to the waste ful coSt-plus price system of the first World War
 The Government will watch contracts closely, just as businessman would, for signs of profieering II an industry slips something over the Government can make adjustments the next contract-adj,is ments that will make the profiteer wish he hadn't tried to be too smart in wartime
 But the vital point is that precious time will be saved in awarding contracts by avoiding the con- picaed bidding system. and by putting to work more of the nations 100000 factories

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 bat do rot compel"
THURSDAY, MARCH 26

| Good and evil aspects contend in the horoscope for today. Saturn is variable in influence and may affect the relations of capital and labor in western industry
 HEART AND HOME: This is an suspicious date for beginning new friendships between young men and young women but romance will be absent from the association of congenial spirits Girls in great numbers will be accepted in fac- tories and will accomplish much in mechanical tasks. In contrast to uniforms and work slacks they will choose feminine attire for the home Fashions that are picturesque will have a vogue although sim plicity in dress will be prevalent for general wear.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Refugees from Europe will revive their rla- tional arts and crafts as they find homes in the United States. Pot teries, wood carvings. glassware, laces and fabrics will be reproduced skillfully Beginning in a small way many big concerns will build up large trade. Exports of duplicates of many articles former ly imported will be profitable after the war. The United States will become the great art center and it's galleries as famous an any in the old world. S s tltF NATIONAL ISSUES: Education will be widely discussed as the need of adapting studies to post-war con- diticns is recognized. Vocational training will become most import ant, but the value of what is strict ly academic will be recognized. What is most practical in changed world will be given precedence but the demand for wide culture will continue to be insistent Condensed college courses will be popular but of temporary value, astrologers de- clare. -
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of progress in which employers will find cause for praise. Rise in salary is fore told. f.s e
 Children born on this day prob ably will be exceedingly ambitious and energetic. They should suc- ceed in either science or the arts.

MORE REC sTALLING

After the widespread denuncia- tions to which it has been subjected, it might be expected that Jesse Jones REC would lean over back ward to do everything in its power to facilitate the war program. It isn't.
 Despite its blasting in the press, Jesse Jones REC still is adhering to its old stalling and penny pinch ing policies. Here's the latest case of obstructionism
 To ensure an adequate supply of coal for consumers next winter when railroads will be over burden ed, Howard A. Gray, Acting Solid Fuels Director. and Luther Harr, Bituminous Coal Consumers Coun- sel, launched campaign to have more coal placed with dealers during the spring months, when the rail roads will be able to handle it.
 However, two hitches snarled this far-sighted plan: CD obtaining low CT summer prices from mine op- orators to induce consumers to lay in their stocks early, CD financing the coal dealers.
 Davis and Harr eliminated the first obstacle by persuading the op- orators to sell at summer prices for stcck-pile purposes. Then Gray and Harr went to Jesse Jones to get REC help on the.credit problem; for few dealers have the funds to buy large coal reserves.
 Jones promised to cooperate and several REC officials were assigned to work out financing plan with Harr and Gray.
 After several weeks of conferring a plan was formulated, under which the REC would guarantee bank loans to coal dealers for building

DOCTOR FOR ARGENTINA

A young man named Jorge Ortiz has come to the United States on one of the strangest errands in the history of politics. Son of the Presi- dent of Argentina, he is seeking a means to restore his father to the presidency.
 This sounds like a paradox but his father, Roberto Ortiz, is presi- dent in name only. Failing eyesight prevents him from being active, and the country is run by the reaction ary vice-president, Ramon Castillo who is bent on Argentine isolation
 If young Jorge Ortiz can find a physician capable of restoring his fathers sight. that liberal leader might return to power and place Argentina alongside the U. S. A. 100 percent.

 One year ago, the British pro- posed blockading and occupying this island, which lies athwart the trade routes of the Indian Ocean, controls shipping to Suez. India. Australia With an ample navy in the Indian Ocean, the British easily could have taken over.
 However, our State Department advised to the contrary. Secretary Hull seemed to think seizure of Madagascar would throw Vichy more into the hands of Hitler. So the British laid off.
 Instead they sent shiploads of food from nearby South Africa to feed the French inhabitants. This undoubtedly had its effect upon the people of Madagascar who. like the people of France, are friendly to the Allies.
 However, Vichy sent a new pro. Axis Governor to Madagascar, anc
