; Former 6. j. Men
Go Through Fight al
Midway Unframed
Serve on PIune Carriers
Which Jups Reported
They Sank in Bottle

Georgetown University has heard
directly from three former students
serving on American airplane car
riers who came through the battle
of Midway unharmed and also from
two other alumni attached to a
Marine garrison who probably are
engaged by this time in the South
Pacific fighting.
1t. Gerald H. McAteer, who
served as resident surgeon at
Georgetown University Hospital
after his graduation in 1887, wrote
on July IL that he was alive and we'll
on the airplane carrier after the
Midway battle. The Japanese on
more than one occasion, he wrote,
have claimed to have sunk this
carrier.
But it is still afloat and will at
test to this fact In the next meeting
with the Nipponese," 1t. McAteer
wrote. His letter, received only a
few days ago, was addressed to
the Georgetown Alumni Association
and contained payment Of his years
dues.
Aboard the same vessel, he re-
ported. another Georgetown student,
Ensign Edouard Eugene Robert,
class of 1910, School of Foreign
Service. also escaped unhurt from
the Midway battle. 1t. McAteer's
home is in Bayonne, N. j., while
Ensign Robert is from Brattleboro,

Asks For Letters.
Another former student, 1t. Ed
ward kurdziel of Brooklyn, N. Y,
who graduated last year from the
College of Arts and Sciences into
the Marine Corps, is serving on an
other carrier, reported sunk by
japanese claims, but still very much
afloat and waiting for further ac-
ton. 1t. Kurdziel asked that
friends at the college write to him.

Twain's untimely demise. mine is

hey wrote. That was on June %.
and friends at Georgetown believe
by now the young officer may have
been engaged in fighting with the
marines somewhere in the Pacific.
Only Half Of Story.
The island where he was then
training, the young man reported,
was south of the Equator where
travel folders tell only half the
story. And that half, alas, is the
better one,' he said. Having been
reared in the Orient, however, he
said the shock was not so acute In
his case.
"The nature of our organization
demands very rigorous training" he
wrote, "and this is doubly difficult
here in the tropics where temper
ate blood runs very sluggishly.
However, the kids in my platoon
are breaking in very well.''
Each of the Georgetown men
bears out reports received here from
overseas forces - that mail from
home and friends is all important.

Now Is Time
For Brighter
Cayer CoIors
BY MARIE DOWNING

The men in service have spok-
en-! A voting recently in camps
throughout the country brings to
light the fact that men do NOT
like to see women in dark, drab
dresses. They DO like color
around to brighten up their world
of khaki.
Thus, quite naturally then, the
key to today's fashion picture is
color-gay, invigorating color to
make US feel young, gay, and
beautiful!
However, before you go COM
pletely overheard for the lovely,
colorful frocks and accessories
that are shown in all the shops.
you'll want to make certain that
your hair is looking its youthful
best.
The combination of bright pat
terms and gray hair is UNLOVE-
LY and one that, thanks to the
reliable hair dyes on the market,
can be avoided simply by consult
ing your beauty shop and getting
it touched up a little to give you
as youthful look as you de-
serve.
And with your hair restored to
its original beauty, you'll not
only look younger but actually
feel youthful and dashing enough
to slip into a gorgeously colored
dress and go out and do your
part to brighten up the horizon.
This year you have the widest
imaginable choice Of fresh look
ing colors from which to choose
your most complimentary color.
And the secret is-that no mat
ter which you choose, you're
bound to be smartly dressed.
Red leads the fashion parade,
and rightly it should, because for
generations red has symbolized
courage-one thing all the wom-
en- Of America have. There are
all kinds of reds to select from
bright red, Fireman's red, Stop
red and many others-all are
bright and true reds.
Then. because blue has always
been mans favorite color, wom-
en- are wearing lots and lots of
"true blue" and your choice of
blue runs all the way from baby
blue, that soft delicate pastel
blue that is so complimentary to
the ever popular spring and sum.
mer favorite, Navy blue.
Of course, for summer we like
the snowy purity Of white for
every woman. and perhaps the
old adage that white is a symbol
of peace may have a special
meaning for us all. Besides. there
is nothing so lovely as frosty
white enemble on a sultry day.
So if you haven't frightened
up your wardrobe yet-it's high
time you did. Remember, the
women rule the morale of the
nation. SO let's give the nation
something really gallant and gor-
geous to look upon.

You should. The healthy, animated

Army Now Stressing Eating
GILMORE Vitamin Vegetables
Balanced Meals
For Soldiers,
Miss Allen Finds
By IDA BAILEY ALLEN

On my tour of the Army Bakers
and Cooks Schools of the Eastern
Seaboard, I visited Fort Bragg in
North Carolina. sat in on some
Of the classes of the School and
was delighted to find that good
vegetable cookery and the eating
OF more vegetables was being
stressed in Army, as well as civil
ian life. visited severed mess halls
and ate chow with the men. And
then I discovered why the eating
of more vegetables was being en-
phasized. It was because many of
the men passed them up-taking
only meat and potatoes.
Army dinners are bountiful
heavier of course than the average
home meal, because of the outdoor
life with intensive exercise that a
soldier leads; and to keep the meal
balanced, the fighting man needs
vegetables to supply vitamins, min
erals and rOughage. Here is one of
the dinner menus:
Rich Beef and Vegetable Soup
Meat Loaf
Mashed Potatoes and Gravy
Baked Beans seasoned with Chill
Carrots praised with Celery
Raised Biscuits and Butter
Hearts of Lettuce Salad
Chocolate Fudge Pie-Ice Cream
and to top it off big cups of
steam-ing hot coffee, each one
holding almost a pint.
The men like coffee-and no
matter how wet or chilled they
may be, when they come in from
field work, coffee, never fails to
give them a lift. In fact coffee is
the only energizer that is not fol-
lowed by let-down.

That mandates as does the mole
