CAiAlOb, ~
was dispatch out of Washington
saying that the House had passed
measure opening the Navy's
ranks to women and providing for
a feminine branch of the Marine
Corps. -
Our first words, as we picked
ourself up from under the baby
grand clavichord. we're these;
This Is the last straw"
The more We thought about It
the more we knew it was the last
straw. and that we had not spoken
hastily. 1t is possible, we suppose,
for the American man to accept
a "sailorette" or a "gobette." PAt
1t won't be easy, mind you. AT
first he won't feel entirely natural
when some one asks him where his
"gobette" wife or sweetheart is, 70
answer:
"Oh, she's out rowing in Central
Park" or she's down at the dress
makers having a reef taken in her
bell bottom trousers" ssJ
Neither will 1t be easy for tho
American male to feel entirely dopn-
inant when dealing with "sailqr-
cite" who packs her lipstick IN a
duffle bag. prefers shot OF grog
to a pink lady" and asks for po
sauce on her hardtack. 'A1
or
But growing accustomed TO deHk
ing with "sailorette" or a "gob-
cite" will be child's play for the
American man compared TO trying
to feel at home with a-well. we
suppose they'll be called marin
ettes."
For Just a moment put yourself
in the shoes Of the husband OF o
female marine. 81
AS we all know, there Is nothing
tougher than United States nTs-
rine. A marine lives and breathes
off defiance to any one who defies
him. Our woman marines will alb
sorb that feeling of the corps from
the very start. They viii see to 1t
that they never bring disgrace TO
the corps by lowering the standard
of to,,Uhness 80
But to get back to our husband
who has a "marinette" for a wife.
He comes home to and dinner late.
His first impulse is to raise the dick
ems, but out of the corner of his eye
he catches sight OF the marine
insignia on the collar OF the little
woman over the stove.
Right there his place as master or
the house comes to an end. With
hunger gnawing at his stomach. but
with smile on his face, he resorts
to such language as this: 80
'Leatherneck, darling. don't hurry
dinner. I just had sandwich with
some soldiers and sailors down at
the corner drugstore"
with some what2" the mari
nette" will answer. Haven't I told
you to stop associating with such
people? It's a good thing you
didn't bring 'em by here. would
have busted them of with this
frying pan. Furthermore, you fin-
ish this dinner and put it ON the
table while put junior to bed" -
The husband, respectful Of ma
rine, puts on an apron and gets 10
work on the roast. Through t7fe
door of the nursery comes this lufs
laby. sung TO the tune of the MAJ
rines' song: s1y
From the halls Of Montezuyns
To the shores Of Tripoh, -.
Get to sleep, my little baby.
Or I'll land punch on thee.
Admiration Of no nation, e
You're the worst I've ever seen,
Yet mother glories in the title 1se
OF United States marine. nc
When you hear the sandman call,
Don't you dare to start to bawl,
For If the Army and the Navy
Ever looked upon this scene,
I would like to have them think
That we are two U. S. marines"

were actually trained to fight.
In many quarters it was believed
that the British had an actual
fighting force Of only 100000
to 1,250,000 men, a very low fig
ure considering the population
of the island. The rest, some
1000 900 men, 1t has frequently
been said, we're only half-trained
home guards, a force intended
merely to defend home terri
tory in the event of an invasion.
The equipment Of these troops
was pictured as consisting mere
ly of such weapons as could be
used to repel Nazi parachutists
or storm troops.
Britain Stronger Today.
The whole picture, based most
ly on superficial observations
dating back to the spring and
summer Of 1e41, has been dis
heartening one. Moreover, it
was indicated that some of the
best-trained divisions had to be
sent to the Near East and 9TH
ers were lost at Singapore and in
Burma. Hence, the figure Of
1,250,000 real soldiers did not
represent the actual number
available for an offensive on the
European mainland.
This picture does not appear
to correspond with the facts to-
day The British appear to have
worked very hard since the Nazis
began to meet reverses In Russia.
While 1t Is true that a substan-
tial force has been sent to other
theaters of operations in the en-
pire, the modified force has un-
dergone intensive training in the
last few months. Furthermore,
taking advantage Of the lu1 in
Nazi air attacks, British facto-
ries have been producing a larger
amount Of war material, motor
lied units, artillery, submachine
guns, ETC., than is generally
known.
Britain's offensive force Is re-
ported to have been doubled since

/, In the brokerage houses, brok-
ers interrupted games Of salvo
and storytelling to answer
phones and watch prices. BY
noon the tension was broken.
Even the bootblack on the street
could tell it was going to be a
Million Share Day.
It was. Within a week, there
was another. And the volume
has held, nudging million
shares with cheering regular
ity. More important, this activ-
ity has been on rising market.
Excluding December, when
there's always brisk trading as
customers take year-end losses
for tax purposes, this was the
first ray of hope in the former
capitol of capital since a brief
| furry in July a year ago.
What was behind it? Savants
took two guesses. One was better
war news. Stalingrad still held.
The Japs were being blasted in
the Aleutians and sustaining
heavy losses in the Solomons.
The Nazis' troubles were in
creasing. The second guess was
the tax bill that emerged from
Sepate committee. 1t looked as
though corporate taxes might
not be as high as business had
feared.
Everyone left on Wall Street
can make money on less than a
million shares a day in 1912. In
the prodigal days of the late
'Twenties, they figured it took a
million-plus shares for The
Street to get an even break on
volume. But today Wall Street
is just a ghost of its former self
though a pretty lively one just
now.
That's not primarily because Of
the war, although the number of
working girls IN the financial
district these days shows that the
draft has dipped deep into The
Street. Back in 1929, at the
peak, there were perhaps 200, 900
people in the securities business
in New York. BY the time the
war started, that number was
cut by almost IS per cent.
How long will this boom hold?
Not even the most optimistic
broker will venture to say. But
there are plenty of crossed
fingers in the huge offices along
Broad and Wall and New Streets
crossed in hopes that the near
ly twice-seven lean years have
passed.

CAA Will Train Pilots
For Specialized Flying
With Army and Navy
Closes to Open July ];
Service Requirements
TO Guide Schooling

A Civil Aeronautics Administra-
tion civilian pilot training program
to meet the urgent need of the
Army and Navy for rapid training
OF men in specialized flying service
WAS announced yesterday by c. I.
Stanton, acting CAA administrator.
Training will be in line with War
and Navy Department recommen-
dations. First classes are sched-
uled to start July l.
The Army part of the program,
open to men between the ages of
1s and 81 qualified for flight but
not combat flying. is change from
the plan announced in War De-
partment release of March II, which
stated that the entire pilot training
facilities of the CAA soon would
be devoted to the war program and
that first priority would 60 to stu
dents meeting aviation cadet re-
quirements.
May Make Choice.
New Army trainees will be en-
listed and assigned to inactive status
in the Air Force Reserve. AS far
as possible they will be permitted
to choose from four categories the
pilot jobs in which they prefer to
serve. Some will be trained to go
on active duty with the various
ground arms of the military service.
where special co-ordina ton of flight
and group commands are necessary
Others will join the flying COM
mandos who will make up the newly
organized Glider Corps. Those who
qualify as instructors will be avail
able for positions with schools which
are doing contract flight work for
both the CAA and the Air Forces.
Still others will be trained as CO.
pilots nj air service, ferrying and
air transport commands, where
they will be given additional spe-
cialized schooling. This the CAA
Is doing to forestall curtailment of
essential air transportation.
Under the present Army pro-
gram, even though students may
w eAoOAAiCd 4Ol QulN,
they will be required to enlist in the
Reserve Corps. Current CAA
pilot trainees who meet the stringent
physical requirement for combat
pilot duty in the Army will not con-
tinue beyond present courses, ac-
cording to Mr.. Stanton. They will
await call to active duty from the
air forces.
Navy Wants 10000
The Navy part of the CAA training
program calls for training a group
of 10000. Only $500 of these are
intended for advanced CAA courses
for special flying duty. The
balance will 60 to naval aviation
training schools for training as
combat pilots at such stages in the
Navy courses as they are qualified bv
flight tests.
Naval trainees who will be en-
listed as reservists must first gain
the approval of a naval aviation
cadet selection board, which in turn
will assign them to CAA pilot
training center. Army enrollees. on
the other hand may clear their
qualifications with CAA repre-
sentatives and will then be referred
TO Army recruitment centers for
final approval.
