 The sultry beauty slipped on a dressing gown and stepped down from the throne. There were in troductions all round.
 "This is Leona Poliouski, Polly for short, the best model in North America. When finished she will emerge from the foamiest bath soap on the continent advertising the bliss of bathing in Benson's Benign Bath Soap. By the way, I'm asking the younger Benson to join us at Christmas"
 Fay Rathbone's eyes could not keep away from Leona, whose long shapely legs emerged with studied grace from the dressing gown. There was no doubt that 1t was superb limb. Myra's eyes were caught by the ivory pale face lying against the cushions of the .settee framed in a mass of blue black hair.
 You know how to pick them" !" said Myra to Ferdy as he passed a cocktail to her.
 "A beauty, isn't she?" said Ferdy, regarding Leona, Polly for short, as though she were an impersonal wax dummy from a store window.
 "Where did you find her?" asked Myra as they both looked down on

 On the other hand, many students who have lived high on liberal al- lowances and wasted their oppor- tunities will find themselves elim- mated and in the ranks of the Army.
 Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son admitted that the Army and Navy program for training special ists in colleges means temporary discontinuance of liberal arts edu- cation for able bodied men. If the war continues long, 1t may have far-reaching effects on the next generation of doctors and scientists. most of whom will have ben selectel and trained under government di- rection.
 The Navy and Army said selec- tion of students-anll from the ranks-would be on broad demo- cratic principles without regard to financial resources.
 Manpower Chief Paul V. McNutt announced temporary draft defer ment for college students and in- structors in medical, engineering and other technical fields. He or- dered local boards to defer students in specified fields until the end of

l943 CONVENTIONS
 MAY BE CANCELLED
Coming Year to Witness Heavy Strain on Trans.
 pOrtation Facilities

Hartford, Dec. i7-Abandonment of meetings and conventions that will not contribute In an Important way to winning the war was urged today by Joseph B. Eastman, ODT Director.
 Responding to requests for oDTs attitude on the holding of convsn- tions involving inter-city travel Eastman said in a formal statement that individual associations must make their own decisions. He in- dicated. however, that no such gatherings would be justif..d, in view of war burdens on the trans portation system, unless they would help to shorten the war.
 Eastman pointed out that expand. ing war production, larger troop movements, and a rising volume of travel on war business would sub- ject the already heavily burdened transportation lines to heavier strains in i943. Railroads and bus lines, he said, "Wnl have extreme ly limited facilities in l943 for passengers not in the armed forces or not on business of an essential or emergency character"
 The ODT Director declared that "eevry convention or meeting can- celled, even if it would have in- volved travel by only compara- lively small number of persons, will mean a decidedly worthwhile say ing of transportation facilities and will itself constitute a contribution to the war effort"

 Charges About REC
BEW Director Claimed REC Was Lax in Building Up

part,
 Testimony released by the com mittee yesterday contained charge by Jones that the BEW had been authorized to give orders to the REC and its subsidiary agencies An outgrowth of the controversy was reported attempt in the Sen- ate to give Jones veto power over BEW activities.
 Tn his letter to Wagner, Jones said Perkins was "misinformed and inaccurate"
 After the conference of Inter- American nations in Jan. l942, Jones wrote, the Rubber Reserve Company, subsidiary of the REC arranged with Brazil to purchase its entire eXportable surplus of rub ber. Perkins failed" to state that his organization proposed an Amazon Development Corpora ton" which was entirely unac- ceptable to the Brazilians, Jones added.
 Perkins allegations regarding the lack of energy in buying industrial diamonds were likewise incorrect" Jones conteneded. The War Pro- duction Board recommended the purchase of 5,6i0,o00 carats of in- dustrial diamonds in Aug l94i, while the Treasury's procurement division called for the acquisition of 100000 carats. The Metals Re. serve Co.,, another REC subsidiary acquired 100000 carats and had ne- gotiated for 100000 more, Jones wrote, but shipping difficulties made 1t necessary to revise contracts, although 30o0,0o0 carats were oh- tained.
 Jones characterized as amazing" the statement by Perkins that REW "renegotiators" were able to save" the REC a prospective eX- penditure of $l5o, 100000 on British wool from Australia and New Zeal- and He said the REC had never had a contract for wool purchases renegotiated nor did the BEW save the REC the outlay of $780, 0O0000."

youths attending such institutions outside of government supervision, may be well under 10 per cent of all male students, while total male attendance would be about one. third of normal.
 At present there are i,756 tnsti- tutions of higher leraning, includ- ing 2i7 for men, 237 for women, and 1,252 co-educational. Should be- tween 200 and 300 institutions be chosen. the plan should provide help for a substantial number of institutions for men only. Co-edu- cational institutions are not so de- pendent on government patronage.
 Students under the new program will be chosen by the Army by a process similar to the selection of personnele for officer candidate schools. Competence rather than education is what the Army re- quires. Recent reports on more than 10000 officer candidates showed 34.45 per cent were college grad uates, 34.72 per cent had some col- lege training, 24.35 per cent were high school graduates, and 6.48 per cent were not high school graduates.
 New Yorfi, Dec. ie-(UP)-Col- lege presidents complained today that the Army'S plan to use col- leges for military purposes was un- sound, neglected liberal arts educa- ton and would make smaller schools suffer.
 They said its intention of taking students from colleges and univer- sities, giving them B weeks of basic military training. and fl found wor- thy, returning tEJsm, was admin istratively cumbersome.
 Dr. Edmund E. Day, President of Cornell University. who was on an Educators committee that worked with military officials. said he had written to Secretary of War E'snry Stimson about his objections to the plan finally adopted.
 He said 1t would be inadequate to assign l50000 men to colleges and universities for technical training and that their withdrawal from school on Feb. would seriously weaken the institutions they were attending.
 These inevitable consequences of the proposed war department plan would be so injurious that. in the interest of military efficiency, we urge that a new and more satis- factory timetable be substituted for that now proposed" he wrote.
 pr. Day observed that the navy's program "seems emiryently sound, administratively feasible and thor oughly acceptable"
 This was the view of pr. Harold D. Dodds, President of Princeton University. He regretted that the Army's plan. unlike the Navy's. aims at training for the Army specialties, to the exclusion of all else" 4l

Myra Mack stood at the office window looking down into St. James street, Montreal. Snow was falling in biz flakes that filled the air thickly, making the afternoon dark as evening.
 A sigh of relief by her side broke her reverie.
 Boy, oh Boyl A white Christmas after all"
 Myra looked at the young face of the girl who had spoken.
 "H'm," she grunted. Looks like . black one for me"
 She was thinking that for the glrst time in years there would be no one at home except herself and her parents. Sisters nor" I'd or away, brother overseas with the Canadian Corps and the youngest boy of the family at the Air Force Manning Pool in Toronto.
 The other girl looked at her ard saw as everyone saw at first sight a secretary, chosen for competence and decidedly not for appearance. Myra was neat but there was noth- ing to make any man look twice.
 The other girl was under 20, Her copper -colored hair was attractive but her nose was a trifle too long and her mouth too wide for conven- tional beauty.
 What are you doing for Christ mas vacation?" asked Myra. The girls annually vacationed in the dull business week before the New Year.
 Fay Rathbone shruggd her shoulders. "Ski on the mountain, I suppose. No money to pay fares home"
 "You live in the Maritimes?"
 Fay nodded and then turned. One of the other girls was calling. "Tele- phone for you. Myra."
 Myra Mack took the receiver that lay expectant upon her desk. Then her face broke into a smile. 'Ferdy! Where have you been all this timer"
 She heard him laugh, Come up and see me in the studo."
 Myra was suspicious. Ferdy was the most harmless looking person in the world but one could never be quite sure what was matching behind his humorous eyes.
 His voice went on. "I want you to come Up to my place for Christ mas vacation in the snow clad trees. Yule logs and all that sort of thing"
 There's no catch in it?" asked Myra, doubtfully.
 "Nnone whatsoever"

COFFEE!

The individual ration Of coffee.
beginning At midnight Nov. %.
will be one pound for five weeks
or l0.4 pounds per year.
Adding the amount of coffee
consumed by the public through
restaurants and other instit, ltions
t h average American coffee
drinker under rationing will use
about Is pounds per year. which
is about 80 percent less than he
has averaged over the past five
years.
The coffee ration. of course.
may be changed from time to
time to meet the varying condi-
ton of supply.
Extreme care in the use of the
ration of coffee can tighten the
restriction considerably. h e
Office Of Price Administration
says. Most people use m o e
coffee than is necessary to OBJ
tain the amount they actually
drink.
Here are some things that can
be done in the home to make
coffee go farther. and still have
coffee of good quality:
Use fresh coffee. Buy less
each time. and more frequently.
2-Keep your coffee in tight
ly covered container.
3-Keep it in the refrigerator
or some other cool place. 1t de-
teriorates less rapidly when cool.
4-Keep your coffee pot i'm.
maculately clean.
5-Have your coffee ground ss
fine as possible for the pot you
intend to use. Finely ground
coffee goes farther than coarsely
ground coffee.
6-Use accurate measurements
