her husbands, who never knew
what tomorrow's orders would be.
SHE DECIDED
FOR HERSELF
Orders have taken him out of the
country now, and she is completely
on her own. A year ago you might
have heard some complaining from
her. You don't hear a word today.
She turned down an offer to live
with her family, took her own apart
ment and has a part time job. 1t
would be a full-time one if she could
manage, but she can only work
during the hours when she can
keep her child in kindergarten.
When you ask her what her hus-
band thinks of some plan Of hers
or some decision regarding the
child she says, IT don't know. I
didn't ask him. I have to decide
those things for myself now. I can't
be bothering him with my prob
lens. He has plenty Of his own"
The army not only does a good
job of toughening up men, it some
times does pretty fine job on their
wives.

The Waterbury Democrat., 1942-03-07

Well, a year ago her husband was
called into the army and she de-
cided that she and their small son
would go along and live near his
camp.
Staying near her husband took
her to two entirely new parts of
the country-where things weren't
at all like they were back home"
For the first time in her life she
was the outsider and the stranger
who had to put herself out to make
friends. And she had to do it all
on her own, with no family back
ground to place" her.
She had to learn to make the
best of poor living conditions, to
accept and give help to other
young army wives and, without re-
sentiment, to fit her own life around

too, women are getting more ankle
conscious. And achieving worthy
ankles seems to be a very common
beauty problem, to Judge by my
mail.
You cannot massage your own
ankles enough to reduce them no
ticeably IN q week or so. But II
you keep up treatments day after
day, you will see results in three
or four months.
You can also put this in your
book with comfort. The record
shows there's always more dancing
during wartime - you'll probably
find yourself dancing more.
Meanwhile, here is simple, ex-
cellent massage routine:
Rest your right foot on q low
stool or chair. Put some cold cream
or q reducing cream on the ankle
and leg. Keeping the knee straight
grasp the ankle Win both hands
and work upward to the knees.
MEDICAL ADVICE
MAY BE REQUIRED
I mean that--work. Press your
hands firmly into the flesh. You
need to take caution only against
bruising.
Repeat the upward progress ten
times, then begin over again and
gradually strengthening your torso
massage upward to the thighs. Re-
peat with the left leg.
Eating sensibly and taking a long
walk daily will speed your progress
If the excess flesh remains, or II
you have flesh which seems chron-
ically swelled, you need profes-
sional attention. It would be a good
idea to consult your physician or q
clinic. The ankles may in fact sig
nal physical ailment which requires
medical attention for health's sake
as well as beauty's.

First Things in Taxes
(NeW York Times


 It now seems to be generally agreed that the Treasury will not for Congressional considera- ton of it's proposed new s6,oooOo0Ooo tax program until some time next March, when there has been opportunity to observe the effects of the new $9 GOO 900 GOO program recently enacted This should not that no further progress is to be made in the intervening months in preparing the neces- sary improvements in wartime financial program.
 In the closing days of the recent tax debate it was apparent that Treasury officials and members closer agreement certain principles which had been actively discussed but not concluded in this years bill. One of these the principle of com pusory savings, which the Treasury, after long re- luctance recognized to be inevitable when 1t pro- posed it's spending tax. Another was the necessity of adopting form of the pay as you-go' idea for collecting taxes of the present magnitude. Sena tor George, chairman of the Senate Finance Com- mittee, has now said that in his opinion any new tax program ought to be limited to these two ideas rather than directed toward another wholesale over hauling of the structure such has taken place twice in the past twelve months.
 There is good sense in this. It may be neces- sary later to undertake further broad revsions of taxes; but compulsory savings and pay -as you-go" collections of income taxes have now become so clearly indicated that they should have first place the tax calendar and should be dealt with without the complications of another wholesale revision of our tax laws

JEFFERSON MEMORIAL

The new statue of Thomas Jeff ferson for the Jefferson Memorial in Washington is so big that it will be put together, piece by piece. Then next spring the statue of the great Democrat - l9 feet high will be stretched out on a couple of trucks and rolled into the new marble memorial among the cherry trees s:long the Tidal Basin.
 Jefferson" is being constructed in a Westport, Conn, studio by sculptor Rudulph Evans, who was awarded the contract for $32,000.
 Though the statue will be bronze in final form, it is now clay--and much smaller than l9 feet. Sculptor Evans is engaged in the task of enlarging the clay figure from life size to three times life-size.
 A 19-foot bronze statue sounds heavy but actually. it will be hol- low, with the bronze only three sixteenth of an inch thick. The statue will be cast in a dozen pieces, set up for inspection, then taken apart for shipment to Washington.
 Thus far, sculptor Evans has not encountered priority troubles in se- curing materials for the statue-but it remains to be seen whether WIPE will let him have the bronze.

SPEED

It is becoming more and apparent that when better planes built Americans will build them There was a time when the suddenfess of the war made it necessary that we old, out dated planes against the Japs in the Pacific Old planes were used in the Aeutians, and in the Philippines.
 Although we have information about how thick equipment is spread along the many fronts we do know that equipment is the best that has been produced.
 Army Air Force Commander Gen. Hap" Arnold said recently that the Axis will feel the impact of some of Americas new secret aerial' weapons. One of these may be the PAY fighter planes, manufactured by the Republic Aviation Corp.
 The PAT also known as the Thunderbolt, is just about that In recent tests it dved from 350O0 feet at speed of 725 miles hour. That is just II miles less than the rate at which sound travels at sea level At the high altitude at which this speed was reached by the Thunderbot it was faster than sound
 The pilots who flew the two PATS at this rate of speed said that they had full control of their mental faculties during the plunges, Reported to have been moving at speed of F miles minute, they reported that when they decided to pull out of their dives the pressure of the air on the tail faces was so great that the sticks would not move. To flatten out they the crank controlling the elevator trim tabs
 On practically all fronts, the superiority of the Allied forces the air is responsible for tipping the scales in our favcr.
 We have the planes and we have the pilots to fly them. It is interesting to note that the men who set these speed records not veteran test pilots but 22-year -old youths both former air cadets who trained in 1941

QUITE A TIME

Lieut. Commdr. Thomas B. Klakring, who com mands one of Americas undersea raiders that have been sinking Jap ships right under the noses of the Japanese Islands big cities has been having quite a time
 He seems to have solved the problem of keeping up the morale of his crew in a neat manner
 Interviewed in Honolulu recently, he told of sur facing his periscope near large Jap city one dull afternoon so that the members of his crew could watch Jap horse race which in progress. The men aboard the subs even placed bets the ponies, athough Kakring adds regretfuy, we were just a little too far away to be which horse won"
 But he hasn't spent all of his time watching Jap horse races. He is credited with sinking eight large Jap ships all in recent actions
 He bagged four of these ships in one battle, all within an hour. chasing the last right into port to sink it. It large port with two steel mills.
 When the first two went down taken out of a convoy in open water, Klakring said that sank bow first the other stern first making a very pretty sight" So he let the crew take look, something unusual
 Another way in which Klakfing keeps his crew interested in whats going on is to give them run ming account of each battle He has microphone set up at the perscope and the officer who is direct ing the action gives a blow-by blow account which the crew gets loud speaker
 Klakring says he likes to sink Jap ships while they are in port because his men work much better in front of an audience. Most of his snkings were witnessed by numbers Of Japs ashore.
 This account should be an answer to those who claim that we aren't carrying the fight to Japan.
