She believes that this genera

the war as cool-headed and self
confident as Florence Nightin-
gale. The flappers Of the last
war will not return.
She cited as an example the
case of the British woman. Pre-
war, she was shy and retiring.

and sedate social affairs. But
when the bombs rained. she
readily sacrificed her well-or-

has ventured a solution.
AS a child, she studied elo-
cution from a half-I liza n,
half-British woman of terrific
poundage. This teacher had no
truck with buttons or snaps
and. consequently, ordered her
dresses made coat-style, with
the opening the length of one
side.
Sewn In
Eyelets were put in along the
edge, so that a lacing could be
run from hem to shoulder.
Every morning the maid sewed
her mistress into the dress. but
came night and the elocutionist
whisked out the staying effects
by a quick tug at the shoulder.
OF course, the lacing was
anchored by a knot at the
hemline and threaded through
the eyelets with an extra-large
needle. Miss Burke recalls that
the garments could pass for
tents, but still the idea deserves
a pat on the back.

80 Pct. Drop
In Accidents Laid
Gas Curb

Gasoline and tire restrictions
have had a favorable effect on
the number of traffic accidents in
the District, 1t was reported to-
day by Traffic Director William A.
Van Duzer.
There were 956 accidents of all
types reported last month as
against 1,426 for May, a year ago.
This represents q 80 per cent drop,
the greatest monthly decrease on
record.
At the same time, however, the
overall volume of city traffic has
decreased about Is per cent, so
the actual decline was smaller than
indicated.
Pointing to the increasing num-
ber of pedestrians in the District,
Mr.. Van Duzer declared that safety
efforts must not be relaxed.

Big ShipbuiIding Bill
And Army Supply
Measure to Ruise Totui
By the Associated Presa

By the Associated Presa.
A new, gigantic ship-building pro-
gram and another forthcoming sup
ply bill for an army Of $500, ,000. men
probably will push this Nations war
and defense appropriations for the
last three years beyond the $200, ,0O0,-
100000 mark within month.
The total allotments already had
amounted to s16l 600, 100000 when
the House yesterday voted $2,797,-
499,740 for the Navy, Coast Guard
and Marine Corps.
Even as the bill was hurried over
to the Senate for early action,
Chairman Vinson of the House
Naval Affairs Committee submitted
a new $500, 100000 measure de-
signed practically to double the size
Of the fleet by building more than
500 fighting ships.
Meanwhile. Congress awaited ar
rival of the 1943 Army supply bill in
anticipation it would reach the
Appropriations Committee within 10
days. Congress members in close
touch with the War Department
have estimated It would include
Army needs amounting to close to
$45 ,000, 900 900, a new peak for an
appropriation bill.
"The flood of weapons and num-
tions pouring from American fac
tories, and now on its way to our
Allies and our own forces at the
front exceeds all estimates, and 1t is
just beginning" declared Chairman
Cannon of the House Appropriation
Committee.
