THE strangest years of her
history and the greatest
L crisis she ever has faced
are Immediately ahead for
America. She has always been
a friendly country, willing to
let other countries solve their
problems and worship their
gods in their own way, not
afraid of her weaker neighbors
any more than they were afraid
of her.
But all this has been changed,
and we have enemies" now,
we are to be the worlds arsenal
and to attempt to police the
world. And you, the quiet mis-
tress of a quiet household, have
your share in the world of catastro-
phe, and must do your bit to pull
us all out of a chaos into which the
blindness and stupidity of the ma
tons overseas have drawn us.
They talked world brotherhood,
world peace, world distribution of
opportunities and necessities 20
years ago. But nobody meant those
promises or took the slightest inter-
est in their fulfllment; blockades
went on; mandatory powers were
not released; children starved and
their mothers and fathers went mad
for revenge.
These conditions will be repeated
in a few years when the war is
over, for the men who are respon-
sible for it are not dealing honestly
with their peoples now, and are not
apt to change afterward. No, they
will retire, wealthy and unpublished,
as they did 20 years ago, leaving
sorrow and ruin and bitter change
for all the rest of us to face.
Make Family Unafraid.
Your share is to make the little
unit that is your family, and if pos
sible your group, self-sufficient and
unafraid. Begin this very day to
change your house into place to
which a man and children love to
return at night. No worry, no fears
and complaining, no violent discus
sion of public affairs at your table
or around your fireplace. Just
the courage of woman whose fore
bears have faced loss and change,
and who will bear her own share
of the burden when and if it comes.
Make 81 will be afraid of nothing"
your first rule. Your faith will af-
feet every member of your family.
Yes, even if death is going to be
your share, and the boy doesn't
come home from the wars, face it.
Three million American mothers
will be beside you. Life won't ever
go back for any of us to what it
was. But face it, and in love for
those who are left, and who will
grieve less, will suffer less, if you
always show smiling face, learn
to bear the unbearable.
For a second rule: Get out of
debt. Whatever your income is,
live on exactly two-thirds of it.
Save; buy a little farm, and when
you own it, buy another, to rent.
Get your feet solidly on the ground
for what is coming; for each one of
us who can take care of a neighbor
will have to do it then. Cut down
everywhere you can.
Maybe your income is inflated
now, is much larger than it was be-
fore defense activities began. If that
is so, try to live as simply as before,
and invest in national bonds, or in
those few acres of real estate that
some day may mean a cellar full
of your own apples and squashes
and potatoes, closet shelves filed
with preserved berries and fruits,
chickens.
And now for a third rule: See
that the family income does not

 I'm leaving my coat" Jan said, turning to go. Its turning hot as blazes." She looked at Christie levelly: Stephen is for tunate in having you for a little girl scout"
 Christie hung Jan's coat up me- chanically. Funny, Bart hadn't told her they had stopped by San dra's. Maybe he didn't think 1t was important. Then, there was Stephen spouting of things which might not have sounded unpatri- otic before the United States got in the war. but which had an al- most reasonable sound now.
 On an impulse she went to the telephone and called the Vain wright Chemical Company. She must warn Stephen. He was a nice boy with a mother to support and Jan was certainly in love with hm.
 stephen was out, the girl at the of1ce said. She took the number and said she would ask him to call.
 Chistte was in her booth when the phone rang. Bart had come home, and she heard him answer
 When she came into the living room later, Bart. was bowed over the afternoon paper. Hello" he said. Christie stood near him, waiting. Then she stopped and kissed him.
 Hello, yourself. Your welcome IS as cold as my shower. Did hear the phone ring?"
 You did. It was your friend, Stephen. I was about to tell him he had a damn lot of nerve calling my wife, but just then he said he was answering your call"
 He Was," Christie said. She was about to explain why she had telephoned, and then decided against 1t. It would give Bart an- other reason for disliking Stephen. 6eSioeS, Bart had sounded very rude. You'd think he didn't trust her.
 Something in the deepening si- lence made Christie very angry. If she wanted to, she could be ugly. too. She could ask some questions about Sandra
 Why didn't you tell me that you went by Sandra's?" she asked.
 T didn't think you were inter ested," Bart answered. You were so deep in that lecture business" Coming from 8 fighting man who should know how essential all that business is, your remark is a little strang," Christie said.
 They were quareling. She must be very careful. This was l the first rift, and 1t could be widened by the wrong words. Bart" Christie Saids were

 For the same reason that I love one," Christie laughed. She sat up straight. Forbidden words were still so tantaizing near the tip of her tongue.
 Bart, you like Sandra."
 of course. She's nice girl she's fun"
 Why don't you think up some Superlative," Christie famed.
 Anger was darkening in Bart's eyes.
 T won't have you going to San dra'S. I don't like her - and I don't trust her." Christie said.
 What I'm going to say has nothing to do with Sandra," Bart said, steadily. I'm an individual, even though I'm married. And I don't take orders from anyone exc cept superior officer.

 Good for you" But Bart looked doubtful. He added, What am I supposed to do?"
 Jan, you and mother keep Bart amused" Christie command ed. "I1l be through about 4:3o Meet you at the apartment around g."
 Bart was at his mothers the next morning when Jan came by the apartment.
 You're all bones again." Chris tie said seriously. You and that cigaret habit and I don't know why. Something on your mind?"
 Jan was staring out of the win dow, moodily. She wheeled around: Why don't you run around more with Bart when he's at home, in- stead Of letting Sandra amuse him?"
 You forget have quota to meet committee work" she broke of. "Sandra! What in the world do you mean?"
 We all landed at Sandra's yes- terday afternoon. She was hay ing a party - a good one, too. You should have seen the ridiculous skit she put on and you should have seen her showing your husband new jit-step."
 Christie frowned. Tt doesn't sound dignif1ed for an officer"
 T think he forgot he was an ofacer and was just man." Jan replied.
 Why are you talking like this Jan?" Christie asked in a low voice.
 Because I feel all mean inside guess" Jan's voice sounded bitter.
 You've been quarreling with Stephen"
 "No, it's worse than that stephen doesn't care enough tc quarrel"
 Christie said, Maybe he does care. Men have a lot of pride when they feel they can't support a girl"
 Tt isn't that, either" Jan's. voice was so low 1t was almost a whis- per: I think he cares for some one else.
 T shouldn't let 1t worry me, ,' she said quickly before Christie could speak. Hes really an aw- full fool, Christie. He says the most awful things, and he is going to lose his job at the Vain wrtghts if he isn't careful. He talks about Versailles and what the Allies did do to stop future wars when they had the power things like that.

 Bart stood in the doorway, grin ming at her. Christie laughed, letting her eyes dwell admiringly on her handsome husband.
 You've date with the family "a luncheon date. And you won't mind because you'll be the big shot. They're so proud of your uniform, the brass buttons and especially the wings. Get set to tell them how good you are"
 Just as she had foreseen, Mrs. Colton asked scores of questions. "But isn't it lonesome, Bart? All those boys had wives, sweet hearts, mothers. They've been accustomed to going about, doing things. Then, suddenly, they're dumped into some place with nothing to do."

 Have you a hostess house?" Mrs. Colton continued, land do you have any fun?"
 ''Yes." Bart answered both of her questions. We have shows, held meets, tea dances, suppers- oh, yes, we have fun in between practice flights, saber drills, aerial reviews, and the regular routine.
 That reminds me-" Bart add cd, "Sandra drove to the field the other day. She has an idea tht she'd be good entertainer
 Christie didn't speak for a mo- : lnent afraid her irritation would show. Of course, Sandra had every right to visit the field, every right to become an entertainer if she wanted to. If this were not Bart's field, she'd probably agree that 1t was good idea.

British Officer Makes Broadcast; Churchill Re-

LONDON, Sept. g. British Prime Minister Winston Churchill today voiced emphatic disapproval of the speculation for the time or place of the second front.
 The subject cropped up in the House of Commons as the British Broadcasting Company broadcast to France that an Allied offensive was in the making"
 Churchill's remarks were also provoked by a question by Capt. Peter Macdonald, which was pre- faced by an assumption that a "pe- riod of offensive operations of the United Nations was now approach ing"
 As Parliament met for the first time since September II, a high officer of the British Army broad cast in French that today more than ever before, the possibilities of the British and Allies landing on French soil must be foreseen.
 Capt. Macdonald asked when tNe second front was to be established" and said he was also anxious lest someone with inside information indiscreetly tipped off the enemy with too free talk"

 Report Shake-up
 London heard today that Hitler has launched new purge his top ranking Nazi Generals. ousting Field Marshal Fedor Von Book from the Stalingrad command and re- placing Field Marshal Von Leeb at Leningrad.

 Previously, Won Book was report ed to have quarreied with Hitler over the Fuehrer's insistence on the costly siege of Stalingrad sym chronized with the drive on the Caucasus.
 London military quarters say that Field Marshal Von Kuschler has replaced Won Leeb on the Lenin- grad front, where the German arm ies have slowly been driven back in series of Soviet counter-at- tacks
 London informants said that List is ruthless tactician, the leading exponent of lightning war. and is expected to open savage new as- sault at Stalingrad. with a total disregard for losses.

The W ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON = This harvest season U. s. crops are breaking all records for the third successive year. But despite this, earnest, hard-working Secretary of Agricul- ture Wickard has issued a very potent warming to war chiefs that next years crops will fall far short of requirements.
 The American farmer, Wickard has warned, is expected to feed the world, and he just can't do it with out CD farm labor, and CD ma- chinery. Furthermore, two other factors are now becoming difficult: Fertilizer, because of the large amount of nitrate going into muni- tions; and insecticide, much of which used to come from the Dutch East Indies.
 Wickard's battle to secure more farm labor is pretty well known He has been warning Selective Service Director General Hershey that not all farm labor can be drafted, and he has been battling with Manpower Czar Paul McNutt to keep farm labor from going to city industries.
 But Wickard's struggle for farm machinery is not known. It has been waged backstage with Donald Nelson and WIPE moguls to whom the Secretary of Agriculture has pointed out that farmers must have tractors, blows, cultivators, etc, to offset both labor shortages and to increase farm production.
 On July g, Wickard wrote let ter to Nelson suggesting that agri- cultural machinery to the value of SAC, 100000 be manufactured for 1943. This figure represents 38 per cent of the 1940 production. Wick ard also recommended much higher production of repair parts including plowshares - namely 15l per cent of the 1940 production This was to permit farmers to re- pair outworn machinery where new machinery was not available.
 This program was okayed by the Food Requirements Committee. on which the War Production Board is

New Guinea, Solomons. AIeutians Forces Make
 Heavy Raids on Jdps

WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-A de- termined Allied offensive appears to be definitely under way in the far flung Pacific War Theater this week.
 The United Nations forces have already caused the Jap invaders to fall back in New Guinea, have inflicted heavy losses on enemy troops and planes in the Solomons and Aleutians and are unleashing Allied air and ground power on two of the three strategic Pacific fronts v
 The announcement of the new drives coincides with an announce ment of a conference of U. s. Navy Air Forces High Command somewhere at sea.
 The new attacks have brought destruction to 49 Jap planes in the Solomons and Aleutians, and damage to five ships, in four days.
 The raids take the offensive into the hands of the Allies for the first time on New Guinea, where Gen. Douglas MacArthur's ground forces hammered back Jap troops in the Owen Stanley Mountains in an infiltrating, outflanking attack about 32 miles north of the im- portant Allied base of Port Moresby
 MacArthur's headquarters said that night attacking forces are making progress" for the first time since the invaders landed at Coma Mission on July 21 and be- gan their push through the heavy, crocodile-infested jungles toward Port Moresby, which, if captured could serve as the springboard of an assault on Australia.
