engagement at the last minute If
something better turns up. who
ruins dinner by keeping her host
ess waiting for her and spoils a
party by making herself disagree

sirable guest lists.
This theory that a woman can
do as she pleases as soon as she
has caught a husband is at the
bottom of nine-tenths of the di-
vorces. The wife feels she doesn't
have to dress herself up for mere
husband unless she feels like it. She
doesn't have to bother to rub his
fur the right way. She doesn't even
have to feed the poor brute unless
she is hungry herself. She thinks
that she can be as homely, as dull,
as peevish and cross and fretful as
she likes, and her husband has to
take it, and like 1t. And she feels
herself extremely ill-used when he
does as he pleases and runs of with
another woman.

Perhaps these women have the

it is a pleasure for which they have
to pay dearly. Perhaps everything
they say is true, and we are getting

Continued from Page One) also ceased yesterday, and an As sociated Press dispatch from Cripple Greek, Colorado, historic gold camp, says:
 The strangest calm in 50 years of restless activity settled over the historic gold camp at Cripple Creek Thursday When the 4 p. m. shift emerged from the shafts that have tapped some of the nations richest sources of mineral wealth, it was for the last time for the duration.
 Ironically enough, the crews struck into 20-ounce ore Thursday in the Logan mine of the Stratton interests and another vein of high grade ore was scratched open by the Lessee Theresa Mine, but none of the ore was broken out Thurs day, nor can it be removed until the war is over.
 Chrome Developments
 Chrome properties in Alaska will not be affected by the WIPE order.
 Reports are current that chrome from the Seldovia district will soon be shipped in large quantities, pos sibly from two or three properties and much of it will be handled in Juneau by the Alaska Juneau Com pany.
 It is reported that a group Of Portland men are interested in the properties. A company known as the Red Mountain Chromite Company is said to have been organized with Portland as headquarters. Herb Miller and Bob Heath are among those developing this property.
 It is also reported that operations to produce 5000 tons of high grade chromite are under way at the Chrome Queen claim on Red Mountain, Is miles from Seldovia
 In the valley of Windy River, the claims of Guy Kerns of Seldovia, and Dawson Cooper of Fairbanks will be worked by crew of about seven crackerjack miners who Will mine on a comparatively small scale with no overhead.
 To transport the ore, as mined, from the Chrome Queen to the near est point of shipment. Jakalof Bay a road will be built between the claim and Windy River, about l,00e feet,

NEW CR0AT GUERRILLA
 BAND NOTED
Italians, Ndzis Hampered by Followers of Dr.
 V. Mack

LONDON, Oct. Is. - Embittered, Croat peasants, followers of Dr. Vladimir Macek, are reported wag ing new independent guerrilla war against occupation forces of the brown-shirted Ustachi storm troop CTS of the Italian puppet Ante Pavelic.
 Moscow broadcasts said that the guerrilla forces have captured three towns and wiped out two companies of Italians in two battles, and killed ITO Germans and dynamited nine oil wells in another. e
 The Croatian government was first set up by the Axis powers in an attempt to solve the Balkan prob lem. After the country was over run by the German war machine in April, 1941, the trouble started with the detention of Macek, who was dissatisfied with the part allotted the Croats in the ruling state.
 Macek was reported variously to have been arrested in his house, or to be held in custody on his farm, in retirement
 His present army is estimated at 4000 men and is operating inde- pendently of the forces under Gen. Draja Mihailovic, Yugoslav guerrilla chief.

House RumbIings Heard Senate Action Expett-
 ed by Next tuesday

WASHINGTON, Oct. Is - The Senate Military Affairs Committee has recommended drafting 18-l9 year olds and this followed shortly after the House arranged for final action tomorrow on similar legisla- ton.
 Rumblings of displeasure at the legislation are heard in the House and these arose over the school de- ferment amendment to the bill also the lack of assurance of a full 12-months training of the youthful selectees.
 The complete bill has now been approved by the Senate Military Affairs Committee. The bill was sponsored by Senator Chan Gurney of South Dakota who announced that the measure will go to the Senate on Monday.
 The Six Billion Dollar Naval Ap- propriation bill has the right of way on Monday so Sen. Gurney said the draft bill will not likely reach the vote before next Tuesday.

about the same as those granted other veterans under present legis- lation, the total cost for all vet erans and their dependents would be about $2,0O0,O 100000 a year"
 Take into consideration that mill 'itary experts are now talking of an armed force twice to three times that of World War I and the pros- pective veterans bill scars to some thing like three billion a year.
 The machinery for administering veterans benefits already is run ming. For most of those benefits. the veterans of World War II auto matically or by laws already passed become eligible. This includes pay ments for serving dis abilities, ranging from $10 to $100 a month. It includes many kinds of medical treatment. disqualification and domiciliary care.
 Congress, in addition, went out of its way to try to pass a law that would make it obligatory for en- ployers to give men drawn into the services their jobs and seniority back when the war is over They even provided that veterans so denied their jobs may file com- plaints, without charge, with the U. S. district attorney in their dis trict, to force employers to re-hire them.
 Liberal concessions are made to veterans to take civil service ex- aminations for government employ ment.
 It's quite evident the veteran of World War II will have the jump on his dad in seeing that he isn't brushed aside when peace comes again.

Longer Work Week

The statement by Secretary of
Labor Perkins that experience has
shown that forty-eight-hour week
for industrial employees is conducive,
on the average, to maximum produc-
tion efficiency should end a discus
sion that has figured prominently in
our preparation for war.
In the past, Miss Perkins has
championed the forty-hour week as
the working period best calculated to
maintain efficiency at a peak level.
Writing to The Star in December,
1910, the Secretary of Labor urged
the continuance of the basic forty
hour week in the following language:
May I say that in recommending
compliance with the wage-hour leg
islation I have always taken pains
to say what believe to be true-that
the shorter hours will result in
greater efficiency, greater per capita
and per plant production, and can be
relied on to speed up our defense
program rather than delay it."
Speaking at a recent meeting of
the Pattern Makers League of North
America, however, Miss Perkins in
dicated change in viewpoint on this
question. Experience has demon
strated," she said, that the maxi
mum production effort can be
reached when workers are not over
tired by working long hours. We re-
gard the forty-eight-hour week as
the optimum (the most favorable
average) for the great majority Of
mass production workers"
1t Is interesting to note that the
