conducting a practice in Virginia and
occasionally substituting for his

"The Outpost represents some hun
dreds of Americans living in Britain
and has the support of many friends
In the United States /. If we can
answer any questions about the English
or about American organizations here,
just send us line"
Purpose of the paper, which carried
No. ~ and presumably has been issued
for more than two years, is to "create
and cement the best possible under
standing between the English-Speak-
ing people"
Under the heading "Are We Like
That?" the outpost tells its readers
about British misconceptions of AM
orleans gained mainly from our mo-
ton pictures circulated through even
the most remote corners and which
they fail to understand and through
such sensational news stories as the
11-year-old Kentucky girl who had a
baby, the great Marian (Orson
Welles) invasion scare of a few years
ago, the kidnappings, the Hollywood
marriages
British views of people here are
classified, briefly, as follows:
1. Hopelessly vague group, which
asks about a girl they knew in the
South, who is finally traced to Brazil
2. Movie-goes, who firmly believe
every city is alive with gangsters
and citizens talk like Damon Runyor
and chew gum.

You boys on the firing lines, please
keep in mind that we here are anxious
to know what you are doing, and your

humorous incidents that will help take
the serious edge off this business Of

The folks at home are especially
interested to hear from boys on for

not deal with military matters, write
us about the people, the country, anc
what they think of the USA.

What the Well Dressed
Wore in War |.

What the well dressed man wore in
1917 is featured in a window display
at the M j. Murphy clothing store.
And Mr.. Murphy should know, for
he was in business at the same site
then.
Seven and half inch bottom pants
were "great stuff" for the young bloods
of Is years ago, who kissed their
parents and the girl friends goodbye
and went off to whip the Kaiser's
army that wanted to rule the world.
The suit is an alive green with q

Pittsburgh Fleet Arrives
Month Earlier In 1912.

Marking the earliest opening Of
navigation on the Great Lakes in
history several vessels of the Pitts
burgh Steamship Company, United
States Steel subsidiary, arrived at the
head of the lakes late Sunday after
noon to take on their loads of iron
ore, prime necessity for producing the
iron and steel so vital to the nations
war efforts.
The Pittsburgh fleet is the largest on
the Great Lakes and is comprised at
present of 68 steamers and 2 barges
The early start of the shipping sea-
son adds to the opportunity to set ::
new record for ore movement on the
Great Lakes during 1912 which has
been requested by the War Production
Board.
Opening of the lake season is about
one month earlier than during normal
times.

BAKERS ASKED TO CONSERVE.

You'd never think that war would
affect bread slicing, but it seems there
is some connection. The bread and
bakery section of the WPB has sug-
gested that bakers cut out slicing
bread for their customers to have
time, labor and paper. Bakers also
are asked TO conserve kraft and wax
paper ard effect other economies
necessary to reduce operating costs and
prevent price increases.

AMERICA WANTS EGGS.

For every four dozen eggs produced
in 1941, Americas farmers are urged
to produce four quarter dozen in
1912.
More eggs are needed because of de-
mandS of consumers at home who have
more money to spend, by the military
forces and our Allies who are getting
dried eggs. The egg is classed as a
protective food, which means that it
builds uo body resistance. A child
should have four to five eggs a week,
the division says.
