Dear. MIR. Winchell: When I read
In your column (Which always

Alpha (my used-to-be-wife) were
Melting-boy, that nearly killed me.
No foolin'. But the only thing Is
who ever Hippd you to it-didn't
Lay It On Right. OF course, it
is absolutely true about us calling
1t quits-and believe me, brother,
1t Is quits for ever NJ ever. Amen.
Alpha told me she don't love Looey
no more. Because she Is goin' with
the drummer boy of an o'fay band.
Ha, ha. Surprised? Well, I amt.
l am one Cat that's from the old
school. I always become Surprised
when q Woman does Right, not
when she does Wrong. So I will
now be like the little boy whom
sat on the block of ice again.

Another cheering fact: though this ship
was hit, it was not sunk. These new ships are

concentrating on our tankers, often passing
up other valuable ships to get at one. That's
why we must meet their depredations with
more new tankers. With important OIL
producing areas falling into enemy hands,
as in the Far East, the need for tankers be-
comes more insistent Now we must transport
our oil to our forces in those far seas - thou
sands of miles - as well as carrying on here at
home. Rationing of fuel oil and of gasoline
may help tighten the task of the tankers;
but we still must have them.
So we can i'll afford the loss of those old
tankers. In some recent periods, sinkings have
been equaling our launchings of new ones.

WANTED: MORE BRASS
BANDS.

Saturday Evening Post, April 49,
Almost every morning in the Penn
sylvania Station in New York the
same scene is enacted One of the
large waiting rooms is roped off, with
policemen on guard to keep out inter-
lopers. This Immediately attracts
curious travellers, who crowd around
like spectators after an automobile
accident
From inside the waiting room comes
only a confused murmur. 1t takes a
lot of pushing to obtain a view of
that gloomy interior; to see that the
hard benches are occupied by hun
dreds of men, most of them roughly
dressed, trying to disregard the hard
stares of the mystified passers-by.
One traveller, after showing his way
through the crowd to a ringside posi-
ton. turned to the man beside him
and asked, "What are they? Enemy
aliens?" The mistake was natural
and caused no resentment; the reply
came, "Naw, they're drafted men,"
What" exclaimed the first
man. "Then why aren't we cheer
ing them, instead of standing
around here like dOpes?"
Here, surely is an occasion for
brass bands and flag waving. so the
crowds would know who these men
are and send them on their way with
the cheers they deserve. The recruits,
then, could start to camp with a proper
sense of their own Importance, and
the relatives they leave behind would
turn back to lonelier homes with the
stimulation of martial music in their
hearts.
During this war, one other country
economical on fanfare. That one
country was France, whose officials
boosted that millions of men were
modified so efficiently, that few signs
of militarism were visible to disturb
the civilian population. The fate of
France does not encourage Americans
to accept its example. We want more
brass bands not only in New York but
throughout the country. They will
make all of us, soldiers and civilians
alike, feel stronger.
