BRIGHT LIGHTS:
And Shipping Losses

/ Because dim-out regulations in
New York were held "unsatisfac-
tory by the army, drastic new reg
ulations will affect the lives Of the
city's millions.
Acting with the approval of the
army and navy, Mayor Fiorello
LaGuardia ordered a program
which for the first time will screen
all foodlighting in railroad yards,
manufacturing plants. docks, ship
yards and terminals.
Evidence of the gravity Of the
coastal shipping situation was seen
in the fact that a submarine, which
lay in wait at the mouth of the Mis-
sissippi river, sank a large Ameri-
can cargo ship and killed q men,
bers of the crew The daring at
tack was made in midafternoon
when the ship waited mile and a
half from the mouth of the river
for pilot to take her into the river.
Another ship, Mexican tanker, was
attacked by an Axis submarine with
in sight of resort crowds at Miami
Beach, Fla. Scores Of persons
watched the ship burn.

Lynn Says:

Did you know that it is perfect
" proper to wash the American
Flag? Of course, you know it is
disrespectful to display badly
soiled one, but perhaps you were
a bit worried about trying to
wash it.
A recent survey made by pro-
fessional laundries reveals that
flags made of wooden material
should be washed and rinsed as
other woolens: squeeze the flag
through rich suds whipped up
with mild soap and warm, sof-
tened water of not more than 100
degrees Fahrenheit. Rinse in two
or three changes of lukewarm,
soft water.
Cotton flags should be rubbed
lightly, but only lukewarm soft
water should be used for the suds.
Both wool and cotton flags should
be air-dried.
Textile experts at professional
laundries also point out that flags
raised outdoors naturally deteri-
crate more quickly than those
displayed indoors. If flag laun-
ders well, its service period is
increased with frequent washing.

the bed: take the footboard off en-
tirely, then remove as many curley-
cues as possible from the head
board. Next paint this all white and
decorate with fresh bright peasant
flowers copied from the wall paper
you select. Or, use cutouts from the
wall paper, putting them on with
wet shellac, then when dry, shell
lacking over the whole thing. Then
drape white dotted swiss from the
top like canopy, and make a white
dotted swiss spread. The bureau will
take essentially the same treatment
rip off all the gewgaws you can get
off, then paint white and decorate
with the bright little flower motifs.
Powered wall paper, the same
from which the motifs for bed and

floor, stringy white bath mats, two

RE.ENFORCEMENTS:
Land in Ireland

Shipload upon shipload Of United
States soldiers, fully equipped for
mechanical warfare, have arrived
in Northern Ireland to bolster the
already large American garrison
there.
Enthusiasm was at high pitch in
Britain. One military observer
pointed out that the arrival of thou
sands of American soldiers in Ulster
allows planning for offensive opera
tions on the continent ION scale
of at least 20 divisions or 100000
men.
The U. S. communique stated:
British Isles: The war department
today announced the arrival of addi-
tional United States army troops.
The number is substantially larger
than previous contingents and in
cludes tank units"
The debarkation was carried out
swiftly and secretly. Secluded bases
already had been prepared for the
men.

MARTINIQUE:
Laval LanentS
sBIOtU to France

Though his opinion was not asked
by the u. S. state department,
Pierre Laval, pro-Nazi chief of the
Vichy-French government, gave a
rejection to most of the six u. S.
demands concerning the Caribbean
island of Martinique.
The state department had earlier
submitted to Admiral Georges Rob-
ert, high commissioner of the
French possession, a request that if
the status of Martinique, Guade-
loupe, and French Guiana were
changed "the United States could no
longer guarantee their belonging to
the French people," What the U. S.
really wanted was to immobilize
French warships and airplanes now
in the Martinique area, and some
method for checking on persistent
reports that this region was being
used as base for Nazi submarine
activity in the raids on Atlantic coast
shipping.
Laval said that these demands
were a ''grave blow to French SOW
ereignty" and that France would
not relinquish any of her rights over
Martinique mo matter what hap
pens" To this unsolicited state
ment Washington gave the cold
shoulder. It looked like the state
department intended to deal directly
with officials on the island rather
than with Laval.

WON'T RE LONG NOW

Macon Reed, ex-Washington news
man, now a private in the army,
has this to say about the new mill
tary machines which Uncle Sam IS
so swiftly whipping into shape:
Chow is it to be in the army?
There is breath-taking exhilarati0n
in swinging across parade ground
and seeing and feeling the other col
umns moving in the effortless,
smooth, free march step OF the
American army-marching, march
ing, marching to heaven knows
where. At such a moment, and
only at such a moment, one gets a
flash perception of the true strength
of America, a bOundless sweep OF
irresistible pOwer-and chuckle to
myself and think What is everybody
in Washington in such fret and
worry about?' Mandalay? LashiO?
Trifes, boys, mere trifles. We heard
the news of 'their fall with yawn
and got on with our work. Just

u. S. farmers are doing so well
that government credit agencies re-

building up reserve funds against
debts in the postwar period.
The marine corps has quietly
abandoned its high-powered drive to

of them didn't measure up to the
high physical standards required of
marines; had fiat feet, bad knees,

THREE GALLONS:
Essential

AS American motorists on the
Eastern seaboard got their first
taste of gasoline rationing many of
them began to wonder if they would
be classified as essential drivers.
For if they had such classification
they would be permitted to buy
more than the three gallons per
week allotted under the rationing
set-up.
Motorists in Oregon and Washing
ton were to get their gasoline ra-
ton cards the first of June when
deliveries of fuel oil and gasoline to
these two states were cut to SO per
cent of normal deliveries. Petrole-
UNI Co-ordinator Ickes said there IS
no immediate need of curtailing Pc
troleum products deliveries else
where in the country.
Reports from the East coast gave
indication of grumbling on the part
of some motorists to the effect that
rationing should apply to all Sec
tons or to none at all. Then came
the assurance from OPA that work
ers who customarily drive to work
were to be allowed enough gasoline
to continue so doing.
Congressman and other federal
and state employees using private
cars to transact business with a
government agency are entitled to
unlimited supplies of gasoline.
