Chiggers do not actually burrow

selves to the skin and suck blood.
Although of minute size, the CHG

poisonous material into its host and
this causes the persistent itching.

Show TO Have
Atmosphere
Of Big Top
BY JOAN DEAN

EVER SEE a circus without
paying admission Unless you
were a tomboy in your younger
days. sneaking under the circus
tent, wei bet you bought a
ticket in respectable manner.
However, one circus we know
of requires no admission charge.
And what is more, they're
throwing in a show of fashions,
because pretty clothes are peak
fun TO us all. Pink lemonade
and hot dogs will be served. and
clowns will peddle popcorn and
peanuts.
For business girls only. this
greatest show" will be pre-
sented at s p. m. Wednesday
night. But every one from
Grandmother to Sister Sue will
be welcome for the Thursday
show at 2:30 in the afternoon.
AT THAT TIME, trapeze art
lists and tumblers and other big
top stuntists in town for the
Olympia circus, will perform
their agile tricks for you. Also
a loose jointed tiger, whose re-
semblance to the real thing is
purely a coincidence, will be on
hand.
Although it's a one-ring affair,
your eyes will be kept a-bob-
bling. from all we hear. There
will be stacks of play-clothes
-. tennis dresses, shorts and so
on, summer suits, mouth-water-
ing formals and the newest cot
tons in stock.
The biggest feature amongst
the stage-going clothes is the
color-related group, including
dresses, suits, slacks and access
series in eight blending colors.
Rip-roaring colors they are too.
such as deep sea coral. putting
green, queens navy and day
dream blue.
THE THINKER-UPPERS of
the color-related idea solved
many a present day problem.
Since a whole wardrobe on the
mix-match bases requires but
one accessory outfit, the budget,
the time-limit, the minimum of
packing space all get a break.
You see, the shopper can col
lect the works in one place at
one time. AS an example of the
coordination of the ensembles,
there's the Shantung hat or the
straw banded with shantung to
match the shantung OF the two
dresses sketched.

Elsie Robinson
While America Quibbled.
Ba+aan Was Defeated

still now, in the tangled. bloody
grass OF Bataan the young
men who starved and fought for
weeks while other young men
quarreled peevishly over hours
Of work across full dinner tables.
They can rest now, as Clusters
men rested when the bloody
thing was done as the real
makers of America have rested
that you and ! might sit SNUG
and safe. free from their agony
and alarms. Nothing disturLS
them.
But I tell you hat every
American head should be bowed
in shame tonight. This horror
this tragedy that can never
be redeemed-is not the fault of
one man: il is the fault Of every
adult man and woman in this
luxury-loving nation. every man
and woman who has listened to
the war news as il il were
radio play, but not believed that
il could happen.
No clubbing There
Out there In Bataan, with
death falling upon them from
every side, they fought on half
rations until the last ounce of
their strength was gone. But
back in America they delayed
and argued and quibbled.
A quisling is dangerous and
contemplate thing. but a quib-
bier at a time like this. is in
finitely more traitorous and con-
temptible.
Back in Washington they
talked bout higher wages,
shorter hours-40-hour weeks.
AS IL happens am union
minded. But 1 am not union
minded 10 the extent Of think
ing that il is a hardship to work
a few extra hours for our nation.
And every one of you who
thought only of his own selfish
interests during that time be-
trayed this country as foully as
any Jap.
Cannot Be Avenged
They are quiet now, those
boys who were singing school
songs such a little while ago.
The long days and years will
come and go but, please God.
they will be working in a fairer,
kindlier land. And when VIC
tory comes to America, il will
not be to your credit or to mine.
We have all rolled in the same
trough, we are all bloodied with
the same murder.
Don't say to me, "Avenge
Bataan!" Bataan cannot be
avenged. Bataan lies dead In
the tangled grass, is dissolving
in the bloody earth.
y But America may yet survive
il, out of our shame, and our
selfishness, we can arise once
more to the stature of men and
women and fight another Ba-
taan that shall not fall

the same type of exercises on
your own time and make just as

Arms and Shoulders
One of the easiest and best
stretching exercises is 90 stand
erect, arms high overhead with
out launching the shoulders, and
bend acutely sideward. Bend in
one direction, straighten up. and
bend in the other.
A more exhilarating stretcher
Is the "cross-to-fly": Begin by
standing erect feet parallel, but
arms dangling. Rise on the toes
and fling arms high in air. AS
you come down on your heels,
let the swing of the arms carry
over so they cross in front. then
rise on toes again and swing
arms up.
Keep going on that for about
20 counts. See how much
rhythm and lift you can get into

arms and shoulders as well as
the midriff.
Backward Kicks
To strengthen the hip muscles
and also to slim the hipline--do
backward leg kicking.
Try il this way: Lie ia C
downward on a sturdy table or
fiat topped desk. with legs
straight down and feet on the
floor. In this position there
should be a right angle at the
juncture of hips and trunk. Now.
kick alternate legs backward.
Keep the knees straight and
kick as high as you can.

D. G. Technicion, Wounded
On Burma Road, Returns Home
Member of Military
Mission Hit by
Bomb Fragments

After a seven-month trip around
the world, during which he was
wounded slightly by bomb frag-
ments in Burma, Frank F. Sheridan,
a civilian member of the American
military mission to China, has re-
turned to his home at 1925 D street
Sc. He is worn and thin from the
ordeal.
The 31-year-old transportation
expert, who left last November l,
told of the ghastly scenes he had
witnessed on the Burma road when
it was bombed by the japanese.
How does it feel to be bonbed?"
he was asked.
Frankly, it's hell" he replied.
But I was lucky. My wounds were
minor compared to what happened
to others all around me. Why should
I complain when I could wrap up
my scratches with a handkerchief?
While japanese bombs lack the
explosive force of the English or
American-madem missiles, Mr. Sher-
idan said the japanese had very
good aim. The only real escape
from the shrapnel of bomb, he eX-
planned, was to be in a trench or
ditch well below the level of the
ground. The Japanese have a bomb
they term the "anti-personne" he
said and called it very effective.
With a group of As civilian ex-
perts, he was detailed before the
war by the Quartermaster Generals
Office to work in China. On the
trip out, he said, their ship had
left the Philippines only two days
before the Japanese attack On
Manila. The news of the raids on
Pearl Harbor and Manila was picked
up by radio at sea. The skipper
departed from his course and headed
for India.
When they reached Rangoon Mr..
Sheridan said, some of the experts
were sent to the General Motors
plant there to supervise promotion
and to speed shipment of supplies
to China He was placed in COM
mand of a number of Chinese
soldier-mechanics patrolling the
Burma Road.
He trained Chinese not only to
drive trucks, but to repair them
and to keep the road clear of wrecks.
The Burma road at that time was
Uttered by wreckage, caused by
bombs and by bad driving.
Taken i'll, he was hospitalized at
Maymo, Burma, where a japanese
bomb hit the hospital, damaging a
wing of it and wounding him with
a small splinter" Later, he was
hospitalized at Calcutta. When he
was well enough he flew to a port
in India, where he found ship
bound for the United States.

james Anderson, II,
Charged With Attack
On U. S. Worker

Seventeen-year-old James A. An
derson of Sycamore Hills, Md, who
was captured in Washington Thurs
day after escaping from the Rock
vile Jail two days before, went on
trial today at Hagerstown on a
charge of criminal assault.
Anderson has been adjudged Of

of Mental Hygiene. His attorneys,
Walther w. Dawson and John P
Reeves, had filed a plea of insanity.
The attorneys motion for a change
of venue had been granted previ-
ouSly by the Montgomery County
Circuit Court. The sanity test was
made recently by Dr.. George Pres
ton, chairman of the Mental
Hygiene Board.
Anderson was indicted by a Mont
gomery County grand jury on a
charge of criminally assaulting a
36-year-old Government worker at
her Glen Echo home in February.
The death penalty is possible on
conviction of the offense under
Maryland law.
Montgomery County States At
torney Ben G. Wilkinson and his
assistant, Alfred D. Noyes, will
prosecute the case with States At
torney Charles F. Wagaman of
Washington County.
Anderson and two other prisoners
escaped from the Rockville Jail
after slugging the assistant warden,
Hugh Walker. with a sock filled
with soap. After a two-day search
by State and county police, during
which a posse was formed to scour
the nearby area, Anderson and one
of the prisoners were picked up by
Washington police. The third pris-
oner had been arrested the day
before near his home.

On the return voyage, during
which he said he had little sleep,
he took his turn with the crew at a
machine gun on deck. He had had
previous experience in the National
Guard.
Mr.. Sheridan heard only on his
arrival here that during his absence
his mother. Mrs. William F. Sheri-
dan, had died in March.
He was welcomed back by his
wife, Cecil; two children, Frances,
10, and William 7; his brothers, Carl
H. Sheridan. and William Sheridan,
and his father, Comdr. William F.
Sheridan, U. S. N, retired. The
father and brothers reside at 2308
Ashmead place NV. Most of the
letters written to him by members
of his family had been returned
here without reaching him.
Although civilian, with the rank
of motor vehicle technician. Mr.
Sheridan wears a uniform of khaki
approved for members of the mis-
sion.
Before being detailed to his spe-
cial mission, Mr.. Sheridan was con-
nected with the Greyhound Lines
