Nautical CrumbIing Is
Recalled bv Old Salt

Sailors love to grouse, declares
Sir Arthur Bostron, commodore of
the Cunard feet until his retire
ment, in his salty "reminiscences,
Home From the Sea" Then he
spins this yarn:
Once when in sail the skipper was
in the habit of bringing his wife
along on voyages and she was al
ways full Of compassion for the
poor fellows" before the mast. One
Sunday they came aft to see the
captain The old complaint-bad
food, bad cooking. The captain said
he would look into it. He consulted
his wife. Under her gentle suasion
he decided to give the crew a treat
next Sunday.
This consisted Of several fat
geese, the cooking of which was su-
perintended by the captains wife.
She and the cook did their best and
then sat down waiting for the APP
pIause. 1t did not eventuate. In
stead they heard heated argument
going on forward, and one of the
officers stroucd that way to see
what was the matter. The men were
grumbljng!
Do you think" cried one in dis
gust, "they would have given us
geese if they could have eaten them
themselves-us? Not ikely!"
Then there is the story about a
skipper who was very keen on clean
liness on board ship, to the point of
often being unreasonable and unfair.
One day, in walking round the ship,
he discovered some dust on a small
ledge rather high up Thinking that
he would teach the responsible ones
a sharp lesson, he placed a penny
there. The following day, on inspec-
ton, he told the chief steward what
he had done.
q knew that ledge had been dirty
a long time" he added; lit is never
attended to-"
With that, he reached up for his
penny and drew down-tWo half
pennies. Some steward had seen
him and passed the word along.
L. S. officially admitted that army
bombers made the sensational raid on
Japan April 10.
Saboteurs wrecked the Paris radio
station, key place for broadcasting
Nazi propaganda.

for the Government to require i'm
mediate use of all alternative trans

as to grant supply companies a suf-
ficient price increase to take care Of
the additional cost of overland
transportation as compared to
tanker transportation, or to subsi-
die railroads to the extent of the
original cost.
Petroleum Co-ordinator Ickes ex-
pressed doubt that large quantities
of petroleum could be delivered to
the East by use Of barges. His opin-
ion followed a proposal that inland
waterways be used for oil transport.
He said these lanes were only feet
deep at some points, and that they
had not been completed all along
the East Coast. As further draw
back, he pointed out that his office
had been unable to find barges and
tugs to use in the service.
In another development, the o.

lations had been amended to permit
supplementary quantities of fuel to

Senators Brown, Vandenberg and

reported yesterday to have discour-
aged members of the House COM

Withholding levy on all readily ac-
cessible income such as salaries, in

While there appeared to be wide
spread belief that the Federal tax
ing base must be widened to bring

he was opposed to any such move.

Rural Fire-ControI Plan
Announced by Wickard

A rural fire control program in
which farmers and others would
organize volunteer fire departments
was announced today by Secretary
of Agriculture Wickard.
The Nation wide program calls
for the organization of companies
of about 10 farmers each who would
be instructed in fire prevention and
control.
The plan will be carried out by
the Extension Service of the Agri-
culture Department and State agri-
cultural colleges and county agri-
cultural and home demonstration
agents.
An inventory will be made of fire
fighting equipment and facilities
including water supplies on each
farm and in each rural community
and provision will be made for their
maintenance.
The department said the organi-
zation is necessary because the fire
hazard is greatly aggravated by the
war.
