 Aid To Russia
 He said that Americans would be aStounded to learn of the pitifully small trickle of arms and other supplies which has been sent to Russia and China, each of which has lost more men in their wars against totalitarian nations than we now have in our armed forces. He implied that we have sent only one-tenth of the equipment prom ised.
 Referring to the India question, Willkie said that it was not Great Britain but the United States which lost face over that prob lem, reporting the view taken by a person he called "the wisest man in China The people of the East he said, look to the United States as their friend. He said that the United States has a great reservoir of good will made up of these peo- pie, but that there have been leaks in the reservoir caused by the mis- takes of the United States.
 He Paid Expenses
 The former COP candidate for President said that all expenses on his trip he paid himself, and that the money coming in for any ar ticles which he might write in the future on the trip would be do- hated to various war relief agencies.
 Willkie said that before he left on his trip, he had an idea that American production was doing job, but after viewing conditions in Russia and China and else where, he stopped talking about American production.
 Says We'll Win
 He expressed confidence that the United States will be able to win the war, but only after much more effort has been put forth and the nation is 100 percent mobilized.
 He said that the most remark able phase of his trip from the travel viewpoint was the last leg when he came back from China, via Siberia and Alaska in only four days-as quick as a person could travel from Los Angeles to New York on the train.
 His High Points
 Willkie further said: If we fail to deliver to our Allies what they are entitled and expect us to do or what we promised them, our reservoir of goodwill will turn into resentment. We owe them more than boasts and broken promises.
 We and our Allies must estab- fish a second fighting front in Europe.
 T also hope that shortly we can put considerable force in h. dla for an aggressive use of an all-out attack on Burma, as Gen. Wavell urged. Thus, we will re- lieve the pressure on China and Russia who are our superb fight ing Allies.
 America is punching holes in our reservoir of goodwill every day by failing to define clearly our war aims.
 If l were to tell you how few bombers China has received from us, you simply would not believe me-"

Uncle Roy's Corner
BY RAMON COLEMAN

A thousand miles northeast OF
Australia are the Solomon Islands
Their native inhabitants are dark
skinned. Some of them still follow
the old customs which they had
when white men first visited their
island homes.
Catching the bonito, a fish of
the mackerel family, is an impor-
tant sport for the natives The
season opens with calm weather in
March, and lasts through April.
The first bonito caught by mem
ber of village is supposed to be
sacred: only the priests have the
right to eat It,
Small boys are not allowed to
fish for the bonito. When a boy
Is old enough. he goes to canoe
house" and stays there several days
to make ready for his first fishing
trip. Usually other boys are with
him at the "canoe house"
When the proper time comes. the
boys walk to platform and stand
In sight of the people of the village.
Around the platform are figures of
bonitos, sharks, swordfish and sea
birds.
After appearing on the platform,
the boys are allowed to take part in
a feast. This is followed by canoe
journey during which they try to
catch bonitos for the first time.
Another important food of the
Solomon Islands is the pig. For a
long period the chiefs were allowed

then the same thing happened all
over again. Bully and Mrs. Bully
actually seemed to be enjoying the
fight, and it was very clear that
they knew all about fighting.
So all that bright morning that
dreadful fight for the house in the
apple tree in the Old Orchard con-
tinued, and never once did Skinner
and Mrs. Skinner succeed in get
ting Mrs. Bully out of the doorway
so that they could get in, At last,
with their usually neat, trim clothes
all torn and with many aching
wounds, they gave up for the time
being.
"We1l just have to wait until they
leave the house unguarded." said
Skinner sorrowfully. Then well

He clings to leaf in the water his

often becomes the victim of his foes
who not only feast upon the eggs
but devour him, too.
Giant water bugs have an oval
body, rather flattened in shape and
built to cut through the water with
great speed. The upper color is
brown, blending we'll with the mud
and leaves and the under color
yellow. The wings have the char
acteristic overlapping among bugs.
The first pair of legs are designed
for seizing prey and are much en-
larged. They reach out and catch
the hapless fish or frog, bringing
it quickly within reach of the sharp
beak which pierces the body so that
the life blood may be sucked from
It. When not in use the beak is

PLY, they came skimming back
home, through the Old Orchard.
Just think how they felt when
they came in sight Of their home
and saw the nest they had worked
SO hard to build lying on the ground
all tattered and torn and their two
precious eggs broken! With wild
cries of sorrow and anger they
darted forward. Their first thought
was that Farmer Browns boy must
have done this dreadful thing while
they were away, for they could
think of no one else. But at the
sound of their voices a stranger
appeared in the doorway of their
house. 1t was Mrs. Bully. who that

see, Bully's bill is very stout even
if it is short, and Bully himself is
very stout and strong and SKIM
mer's own bill Is very small and
weak. 1t was never meant for
fighting.
In spite Of this Skinner and
Mrs. Skinner did their best, and
for few minutes the air was full
of feathers, mostly their feathers,
while the Old orchard rang with
angry cries. Then Skinner and
Mrs. Skinner had to fly away to
get breath. Bully didn't try to fol-
low them. He knew better than to
try to catch them in the air, for
they are the most wonderful fliers
in the Old Orchard. while Bully
is slow on the wing. So he was
content to simply drive them away.

It's Hard to Believe

San Diego: I have been told that
the word MAGAZINE Is from the
French, but in that language 1t has
an altogether different meaning.
Right?-Mrs. H.
Answer: Right. The French word
Is magasin, pronounced: maga-zA
(N). and meaning, "a store or
shop; the cartridge magazine of
an automatic pistol, rifle, or ma
chine gun" In France. a magazine
(publication) is called periodique
tpay-ree -uh-DEEKD, the French
word for periodical"
According to the Larouss
tFrench) dictionary, the word
magasin. from which we have the
English word magazine, has its orr
gin in the Arabian word makhazin
"a depot, warehouse, or cellar for
storing merchandise. grain. or food
stuffs," the Identical meaning that
we give to the word in speaking of
q powder magazine" etc.

Ponds in the woods are ideal
places to look for these remarkable
hunters, the largest living bugs,
strictly aquatic in their early stages
and decidedly predatory in habit.
They live at the bottom of ponds
lying in wait for their victims to
come within reach of their fore
legs, or chasing some hapless neigh
Dor who happens to pass.
When maturity is reached, these
bugs have great strong wings which
enable them to fly for long dis
tances. Some of them have been
discovered in cities far from their
natural abode, lowering about the

II like to dream that some day
we will write an order to end al

son of Industry Operations of the
War Production Board, and he hail
ed the Axis Powers as "the impor-
tant recipients of military mate
rials produced in the United States,
until the termination of sales re-
sistance by said customers"
The official explained: "It is
hereby ordered that each producer
of such materials in the United
States is exempted from all orders
heretofore or hereinafter issued by
the WPB and is granted a new
Sooper-Dooper Preference Rating
which provides that: 1. Each pro-
ducer devote all his facilities to the

the Customers, and, 2. Each pro-
ducer transfer all material and
equipment he cannot so utilize to
producers who can so utilize, and, 3.
Each producer cooperate in every
possible way with the other pro-
ducers who are processing or SER
vicing material for Direct Delivery,
and, 4. No producer shall take any
action or refuse to take any action
when such action or inaction will
in any way delay Direct Delivery of
any material which is necessary for
the destruction or schedule of the
Customer"

added to the "sooper-dooper"
