By RAMON COFFdAN.

Today we shall have another
Question box" Here are the ques-
tions which various boys and girls
have asked. each followed by an
answer:
what do the stripes on the Amer
lean nag represent" asks Lowell
Hall.
The 13 red and white stripes Of
the American nag represent the IL
original States-the Colonies which
became States at the time Of the
Declaration of Independence.
At first there was a plan to add
q new stripe. as well as . new star.
each time . new State joined the
Union. In 1874 nag with Is stripes
and Is stars was ordered by the
American Congress. BY that time
thert were two new States, Vermont
and Kentucky.
After several more States were
added the plan Of adding new stripes
was given up. Congressmen felt that
there would be too many stripes in
the nag II new one were added for
every new State. So law was made
to put back the number of stripes to
Is and to recognize each new State
BY adding 4 star. In 1918, when the
new law went into effect, the num-
Der Of stars was 20. Today there are
q stars in the American nag.
How long" asks Robert Daggett,
did the rule Of the Romanon family
last In Russia?"
Three hundred and four years.
Back In 1913 the Russian mobiles
chose Michael Romanof as their
"czar."
Another spelling Of the family
name is "Romanov." There were 10
monarchs Of the Romanon line.
One Of these was Peter the Great, a
grandson Of Michael Romanoff.
Another Romanof1 was the EN-
press Catharine. She had been the
wife Of Peter the Great before she
took over the throne following his
death. The last OF the Romanoff
Gears was Nicholas II, who ruled
until 1917.
A more current question comes
from Robert Aberg. who writes: II
would like to know whether Hitler
has . wife or. not"
80 far as there is any oficial
report, Hitler Is not married. There
have been rumors Of his having been
secretly married, but these have not
been proved.
How did people get SO many dif-
ferent names II there were only two
people to begin WITH" inquiries Betty
Neesvis.
The story Of names is a long one
and I cannot 60 into 1t in detail
today. Some family names came
from places where people lived,
others from nicknames. Perhaps we
shall have series Of stories about
names before many months 60 by.

Small Farmers in II States
Top 1912 Food Goals

BY the Associated Press.
UPPER DARBY. Pa. Dec. %
Small farmers in an 11-State region
stretching from Maine through
Maryland have topped their 1912
food production goals 'by tremen-
dous figures" and are planning still
greater output next year, j. H
Wood regional director of the Farm
Security Administration, said today
IN year-end report.
The FSA asked an 8 per cent in
crease in milk production on farms
aided by Government loans, and
the actual increase was lib per cent
Mr. Wood said. A gain of 31.8 per
cent over the 1941 figure is ex-
pected in 1943, he added.
Egg production increased 500 per
cent, poultry. AT; beef, Bill. and
pork, 1877, the report showed. The
figures were computed from the rec
ords of FSA debtors.
This amazing performance Is
possible because the small farmer
has a big family and hence is not
impeded by labor shortage" Mr.
Wood commented.
"On this and on the fact that
small farmers are now getting to-
gether to share available machin-
cry, equipment and services and to
buy and market comparatively, we
base our hopes for another banner
year in 1943."

under the Army-Navy program, the
enlisted reserves whose academic
term Quarter or semester ends in
1912 are entitled to another term
before being called, and that those
whose current term ends in 1913 are
free to go back to school and
finish it.
NO student who is member of
the enlisted reserve will be called
to active duty under this program
until at least two weeks after COM
pletion of his first academic term
or semester which ends in 1943,"
Mr. Brown said, land most Of them
may not be called for long time
after that"
Predicts Delay.
TT takes a great deal Of time to
set up such a system as this. and it
would not be surprising If many of
the enlisted reserves were not
called for several months" he
added.
AS for the strictly civilian
students" Mr.. Brown pointed out
that Mr.. McNutt recently estimated
more than 10000 medical, dental
veterinary, engineering and other
special science students would be
kept in school through new tenn
porary draft deferment order. In
addition, the manpower chief sale
plans are being made for the Gov.
eminent to finance the college
schooling of number of civilian.
as well as servicemen.

NEW DELHI, Dec 29-Advance
elements of the British forces push

Akyab, a British communique dis
closed today.
Rathedaung, about 7 miles inland
from the Bay of Bengal coast, is ap-

were reported to have reached a
week ago
The announcement said British
patrols had encountered japanese

on the night of December 81, and
the enemy had retired after an ex-
change of fire.
CThe Paris radio quoted Bang

College Men Advised
To Continue Studies
While Awaiting Draft
Committee Meets Today
To Consider Schools for
ArmylNovy Program
BY the Associated Press.

College students who are uncer-
tain about their military status and
wondering what to do after the
holidays were advised today to:
60 back to school and stay there
until actually called into military
service"
DR.. Francis J. Brown, consultant
for the American council on Educa-
ton. termed this the wisest plan
regardless of whether students be-
long to the enlisted Reserves or are
subject only to draft board action.
Meanwhile, new educational
committee meets today to consider
selection of an estimated $50 COL
leges and universities to be used
in the specialized training program
recently announced by the Army
and Nevy.
Cities Uncertainty.
The committee, appointed by
ManpoWer Commissioner Paul ".
McNutt, is composed of seven COL
lege presidents and two laymen,
experienced in Government and ed
ucational work.
In issuing his advice to students,
DR.. Brown, who sat in on the mill
tary- educational parleys before the
joint Army-Navy special training
announcement, said countless college
youths were "up in the air" over
whether they should return to
school after the holidays.
Members of the enlisted reserve
who will be affected by the new
military training program will not
be called for some time yet, he said,
adding that many civilian students
who remain in school will get tenn
porary draft deferments and some
eventually may have their tuition
paid by the Government.
He said the Education Council
had proposed that colleges and uni
versities refund tuition money to all
students called to active duty before
the end of any academic term.
Some schools already are doing
that" Mr.. Brown said, adding that
he believed all the institutions would
cooperate.

Gen. Henri Giraud, French COM

Gen. M. E. Bethouart, who re-
Gently arrived here as member of
a mission representing the French
North African forces of Gen. Giraud,
was asked about a likely reaction
to Gen. De Gaulle's proposal as he
left the White House after confer
ring with President Roosevelt.
Gen. Bethouart said Gen. Giraud
and those working with him have
only one idea-to unity ourselves in
order to defeat Germany and lib
crate our country
Everything should be subordinate
ed to the task of conquering Ger
many. he emphasized, and declared
that Gen. Geraud realizes this as
much as does Gen. De Gaulle.
leader of the Fighting French
forces.
Political Phase Seems EaSed.
Gen. Bethouart said he did not
discuss with Mr.. Roosevelt the dip
lomatic problems concerning French
North Africa. which appear to have
been eased by Gen Giraud's sue
cession to the post held by Admiral
Jean Darlan. Gen. De Cables
Fighting French forces had OPP
posed any cooperation with Ad-
miral Darlan. but appear eager to
collaborate with Gen. Giraud.
Gen. Bethouart was accompanied
to the White House by j. l.. Dubre-
uil, civilian member of the North
African mission here for discussions
with high American officials about
supply and other problems.
Helfrich Sees Roosevelt.
Mr.. Roosevelt conferred later with
Vice Admiral C. E. L. Helfrich of
the Netherlands Navy, who was in
command of the Allied fleet in OPP
eratlons around the Dutch East In
dies before that territory was oc-
cupied by the japanese.
Admiral Helfrich. whose head
quarters are now in Ceylon, said
he discussed with the President the
general outlook of the war in the
Far East and found it encouraging.
Asked specifically how long he
thought it might take to recover the
Netherlands Indies, the admiral said
he would like to be optimistic. but
in this case I 90 not think I am"
He added that he was prepared for
"a long, bitter fight"
Gov. Ingram M. Stainback Of Ha-
wall also conferred briefly with Mr.
Roosevelt, but declined to discuss
the conference.
