Turkeys Enough Forecast
For D. T.. THANKSGIVING

Washington's supply Of turkeys
for Thanksgiving will be generally
plentiful" in the opinion of a local
large wholesaler and the exact re-
tail prices to be charged were today
in the process of being figured out
by local retailers.
While price ceilings have been set
by the Office of Price Administra-
ton, the system is complicated
through different price scales al
lowed stores, according to the
amount of yearly business they do
and the form in which the turkeys
are to be sold, as we'll as grades of
turkeys, etc
A spokesman for OPA estimated
that top grade and plain dressed
turkeys weighing Is pounds or under
probably will retail here for q mean
of 81 cents pound, with lower
grades selling as low as Il cents q
pound. A small percentage Of
turkeys, however, such as those
quick frozen and eviscerated may
sell as high as 81 cents pound, the
spokesman said.
One problem facing local whole
sale dealers is that of obtaining
enough help to butcher the fowl.
The concensus seemed to be, how
ever, that there will be suficient
number of turkeys for those who
will want them, but that there will
be no great surplus.

Cox Asks 5eIectee
Training in Armories
To Save Manpower
Plan Coils for Setup
Like NotionoI Guord,
. Leaving Men at Jobs

Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox has rec
commended as partial solution of
the manpower problem that future
selectees be given their basic mill
tary training in hometown armories
so they may be kept at their civilian
occupation until actually needed for
intensive field training and the
hardening process.
His plan, which calls for a setup
much like the peacetime National
Guard, has received approval from
many quarters. The War Depart
ment, however, has informed Gen.
Cox that the present system is more
acceptable.
Gen. Cox, commander of the Dis
trict National Guard before it was
federalized. believes that future SOL
dlers can be as advantageously and
as efficiently trained, insofar as
their fundamental training is con-
cerned, at home as in the large
camps"
Supplies, Not Men. Needed.
Proper use of manpower is of
paramount importance in the prose-
cutlon OF the war he maintains, and
he foresees serious blow at war
production factories and the farms
already showing alarming shortages
III the services continue to call men
from civilian occupations under ex-
isting methods.
With our present shipping facil-
tiles" Gen. Cox said, "and with the
accomplishment of the most roseate
forecasts of our shipping author
tiles, we will not be prepared to
send out of this country in the next
TWO years more than 100000 men
and to keep them supplied with the
necessities Of life and the required
munitions of war"
China and Russia, he continued
are clamoring for supplies. not men
and q front can be established in
either country without sending an
American soldier to either place
Both Russia and China have ample
manpoWer and are only asking US for
the necessary supplies to equip their
soldiers"
CdllS system 'Pr0Ved.
AS soon as man goes to a train
ing camp, Gen. Cox said, he becomes
consumer and not producer. And
long periods in Army camps, he
added, are prone to make a man
dlscontented and nostalgia.
Under his system a selectee would
be inducted and have Army status
but would live at his home, retain his
civilian job and get his military
training at the local armory three or
four nights each week and over the
week ends.
The plan is mot revolutionary"
but has proved ito be efficacious and
worthwhile" as the mode of oper-
alton for the National Guard for
which, he pointed out the War De-
partment spent billions"
I'VE are in no danger of INVASION"
Gen. Cox maintains. Our men can
certainly be kept on a productive
basis until such time as the $500 900
men now in training In this country
are being shipped overseas"

Court 10 Hear 0PA Appeal
On Fare Hike Mondav

The United States Court Of Ap-
peals will hear arguments Monday
on the appeal of the Office Of Price
Administrat ton from District
Court dismissal of its injunction suit
brought in an effort to halt scent
fare increase on the Washington
Seat Pleasant run of the Washing
ton. Marlboro & Annapolis lines.
The appeal was filed yesterday,
asking for a reversal of a ruling by
Justice Daniel w. ODonoghue which
denied the OPA a final injunction
to halt the increase until the line
had given notice of the proposed
increase.
An amendment to the Emergency
Price Control Act which became law
October provided that all common
carriers must give the OPA 80 days
notice Of intention to increase rates,
so the price regulating body may
intervene If it wishes. In this case,
the w. M. & A. filed the proposed
new tariff with the Interstate Com
merce Commission on September %
and the rate was to take effect
October 26.
Justice ODonoghue held that the
line made" the increase with the
filing of the tariff and therefore was
not required to give notice to the
OPA.

This should usually be put on about
the middle OF November Il helps
prevent the frst and last troubles
and Is not dense enough TO cause
the second trouble. Tree leaves
are a poor mulch because OF their
tendency TO mat down and exclude
the air.
What has been said OF strawber.
ries may also be applied TO other
herbaceous perennials that require
mulching such as delphinium, can
terbury bell. Sweet william. chry.
santhemum. iris. phlox, etc. Since
straw sometimes harbors weed
seeds. some people put II in a poul
try house for a few days to let
the hens pick out the seeds. The
hens also kick II around and thus
break Il up into shorter lengths.
This improves the straw mulching
purposes. IL left in the poultry
house too long the straw becomes
broken too finely Another favorits
material Is marsh hay which con-
tains no seeds that would grow on
upland soil.

People often ask aboIt the mulch
ing OF strawberries and other per
ennials There are three critical
conditions that affect the welfare
OF strawberry plants during the
winter. The first critical time s
when the first sudden low tempera.
ture occurs ring November and
early December. This is likely TO
do permanent injury to many
plants. Strawberry plants can en-
dure zero weather provided IL
doesn't come too suddenly. Some
varieties are more hardy than 9th
ers.
Another critical condition is that
OF smothering. II water or a thick
layer OF leaves or ice covers the
plants and excludes the air too
long, permanent injury often re-
suits The warmer the temperature
the more rapid the injury.
The final critical condition &C
ours in early spring. During warm
days and frosty nights, plants may
be heaved out OF the soil by frost
action. Also blossom buds may
open too soon and thus be frozen.
The most practical prevention for
all of these troubles Is well dis.

stands. Antiques" were still pro-
claimed over a quaint, narrow
house that had been crowded be-
tween two fourishing drug stores.
Artists homes dotted the shore
road that ran between the cliffs
and ocean on one side and the hills
on the other. Burke turned left and
drove up a narrow road that wound
to the top of one Of the hills.
I'VE call this Heavens Hump"
Fran said as they got out and car
ried their lunch and blanket to a
smooth, grassy knoll. Mary could
scarcely help with the unpacking.
She could not take her eyes of the
enchanting view. They could see as
far as San Pedro to the north, and
down the coast to Point Iona
over hundred miles of coast line,
merging slowly into misty distance.
Across the channel, the long out
line Of Catalina island was plainly
visible.
Company, changew shouted
Fran. And as Ken and Burke shout
ed circumstances, she unbuttoned
her slack suit and slipped out OF It,
revealing a tan-striped sun suit.
Mary laughingly followed her ex-
ample. They summed lazily while
Ken and Burke opened the lunch,
ignoring their pleas for assistance.
Who wants food ?" demanded
Mary. you csrnal creatures. Can't
you feast on this unbelievable land
scape?"
That's the trouble with men,"
moaned Fran. Always thinking OF
their stomachs." She shifted the
coffee Burke was pouring from the
thermos jug, and added with a yell,

The afternoon wore on. Mary
could feel VtalitJ returning as the
warm rays Of sun penetrated her
body. It was a glorious day. Moth
ing broke the lazy note Of peace
and contentment. They switched

In silent accord.
Their, Ken asked Mary II she
wanted TO walk. She strolled with
him around the curving road lead
ing TO the highest point Of the hill
and looked down into the vast
sweep Of the valley behind them,
rising into the sheer blue rockies.

pered, then turned 10 find Ken's

MARY MOVED automatically
beside Fran toward Burke's car at
che curb. Her heart was beating
wildly. Bruce had come back! He
was exchanging nonchalant greet
Tugs with Ken and Burke when the
girls arrived at the spot. He turned
and smiled at Mary and Fran.
Wow. A couple of glamor galsw
He took in Fran's blue and Mary's
gold Stacks suits sppreciatively.
IT'S glamor day" Fran
laughed. Just trying to match the
sky and sun"
Were going on a picnic" Mary
cried. Don't you want to go
along?"
Like to-" Bruce smiled agree
ably, but ! can't. Won't hold up
the party, though" He moved as il
TO return to his car. Mary darted
after him, did you want to see me
about something
Bruce hesitated. yes" he ad-
mitted reluctantly. Maybe we
could drive around the block once"
His glance swept the others faces.
That is, If you don't mind a FIVE
minute waltz"
"Surew Burke waved them of.
Go aheadw
Take your time, Fran added.
Were comfortable"
Mary slipped into the low gray
car and Bruce drove off. His eyes
on the bright road ahead, he began
talking in short, hard statements.
Il was called in on the carpet yes
terday about the crack-up.'
"You-but why?" cried Mary.
aghast.
They think tempered with the
plane"
Mary caught her breath. His
mouth was set in a grim, tight
line, his clean-cut, handsome pro-
file stubborn, arrogant. The stories
she had heard Of him at Nordex
flooded to her mind, as she watched
MN helplessly. He Unanswered the
car through the corner traffic and
turned to the right. Their FIRST
block was gone.
Il just wanted 90 tell you, they
may call you in" he went on
fatly.
Mary's heart skipped a beat. This
is what Ken warned her Of. She
would get herself into trouble. But
.why?" she wondered aloud.
Because you were seen with
me-" retorted Bruce bitterly. And
I'm a pariah. You should have been
more careful Of your friends"
Beneath his arrogance and bitter
ness, Mary suddenly felt his hurt
pride, his loneliness. Impulsively
she put her hand over his on the
wheel I'm sorry, Bruce"
He turned on her in fash Of
anger. What do you mean? I'm
the one who ought TO be saying
thatl'
Mary laughed. "Ycu couldn't
