As far as coffee is concerned, the new can made of ''enameled blackplate" has all the necessary protective qualities, and we have proved it to be entirely satisfactory for vacuum-packing. In appearance you'd hardly know the difference except it has soft, bronzy finish instead of looking as bright as a new dollar.
 Initial steps in the general plan to help save tin were put in motion long before the end of lo41. To thoroughly test enam- eled blackplate before its complete adop- ton, we have been using it for tops on some cans and bottoms on others, even while we were continuing to pack coffee in all-tin cans. This explains why grocers may for some time still have Hills Bros. Coffee in an assort- ment of tin and enameled blackplatc cans. - 1t is inevitable that in the coming months you will see many of your old favor ite brands s-foods and other commodities- in new sorts of packages. With some the change-over may take place slowly. With others it will happen fast.
 But whatever their wartime dress, you can continue to have faith in the brand names of favorite food products that you have come to depend on-just as you and we have faith in the future of America.
 Food manufacturers have the very highest regard for their responsibility to you Mir. and Mrs. America to meet every problem that arises with the kind of courage and honest determination that will merit your respect and patronage, today and to- morrow. Speaking for ourselves, we can tell you this: ''Packages may come and packages may go, but there is nothing lce kno,o of or can imagine that could cause US to forsake the tadi- ton ,ce ha,e maintdined for 64 years of roast ing and packing the finest coGees obtainable.'' ?

JAP SPIES:
Caught in Net

That the FIJI had not been sleeping
on its guns since December has
become evident in the announce
ment of series of widespread raids
on the Pacific coast.
One hundred agents of the FIJI
swooped down on Japanese colony
overlooking the upper army reserva-
ton of Fort Macarthur, near Los
Angeles and took into custody a
number of japanese.
They also seized quantities of Axis
propaganda, firearms, cameras, ra-
dios and other contraband.
They found a revolver, so rounds
of ammunition, Axis propaganda
and other material hidden away in
a secret place on one farm.
At the same time group of four
Japs was arrested near Portland,
Ore, in the Bonneville dam area,
and considerable quantity of dyna-
mite was found in their possession.
Six more Japanese were arrested
at Portuguese Bend in southern
California, and revolvers, rifles,
motion picture cameras, radio equip
ment, flashlights and large cam
era were seized.

ANZACS:
Grim, HustLing

Australia and New Zealand, anx-
ious over the trend of events as jap
anese tentacles reached ever south
ward toward the great continent
down under" were grimly and
seriously readying themselves for
the most determined war effort in
their history.
Another evidence that first-class
and large American support was ar
irving in the area was seen in the
announcement that an American,
Vice Admiral H. F. Leary, had been
appointed head of the naval forces
operating in the Australia-New Zea-
land area.
A new American naval command,
officially titled Omitted States Naval
Forces, Southwest Pacific" also
was created. Vice Admiral William
A. Glassford, it had been announced,
had been placed in command of this
force.
Both are in their ffties, Glassford
a native of San Francisco and Leary
of Washington. Both will serve
under the general command of Ad-
miral Hart, head of the naval por-
ton of the Batavia headquarters,
who in turn is under Admiral
Nimitz, at least technically.

Harold, just so, takes her to

''Linda's mother is dead; the girl

Trouble Seems Imaginary.
This would seem an almost purely
imaginary trouble, Isabelle, to nine
tenths of the women in the world
today, and you must try to see it
now in a different perspective. What
other persons can do to us is al
ways of our own choosing; if we
choose to rise above slight and stu
pidity and to find our own avenues
of work and service, there is moth
ing that a dancing husband or I'M
appreciative daughter can do to hurt
us.
Youth will go on dancing, for dane
ing is wholesome and amusing and
innocent. But today's youngsters
are dancing with tears in their eyes;
change, separation, suffering are
ahead of them, and although they
may win through-and they WILL
win through-to a better, saner,
more moderate world, the next
half-dozen years are not going to
be time when a safe and secure
woman of 80, with no child of her
own over whom to agonize, need
grudge a girl of Is anything.
AS for your husband, he is being
selfish and silly, snatching in a
panic at the last glow of youth; but
he has company. Most men go
through this phase.
Linda will fall in love with a SOL
der, who will either march away
leaving her desolate, or who will
marry her first and perhaps come
stumbling back to be her beloved
care and responsibility for the rest
of her life. She will stop dancing
and Harold will stop dancing, and
both will turn to you. To you, who
keep the home so comfortable, who
are so sympathetic and capable,
their rock of comfort in a shaking
world.
Get to work, Isabelle. Give your
self for many hard hours every day
to something constructive and nee
essary; come home tired, absorbed
in thoughts of what you must do next
day.
And by the way, it wouldn't do
any harm to get becoming frock
or two, something soft, with white
collar and cuffs, and perhaps to GO
in for a piquant hair-do. A coy
fireside, a hot delicious economical
meal, bills paid, the days fears and
strain laid aside, and pretty wife
in a pretty gown are as much
| needed as bombs and fiiers.

MELVIN DOUGLAS
An extra $1,000 a year :.

As the congress made ready the
first 500, 000, 900 for civilian defense,
the spotlight of publicity was turned
on various appointees who would
serve on Mrs. Roosevelt's section OF
the nationwide OCD.
AS a matter of fact, congressman
themselves were leaders in the criti-
cism of the appointees at the very
same time that they, themselves,
were being lampooned and laughed
at from coast to coast for taking
action on bill to put congressman
who had been defeated into the pen
sion plan for civil service workers.
One group on the Pacific coast
started a bundles for congress
men" movement in an effort to
laugh the bill into defeat.
But the OCD row not only involved
the representatives themselves, but
caused mountain of mail to fall
on Washington.
Mayris Clancy, vaudeville
dancer and protege and friend of
Mrs. Roosevelt, named to a $4,000
job as children's activities director
for physical fitness; and Melvyn
Douglas, film-star named to an
$4,000 job (while working) to direct
the arts division of the setup, were
the central figures of most of the
criticism.
But some newspapers, leading the
fight against Mrs. Roosevelt's
group, began publishing lists and
backgrounds, and one paper ran a
cartoon which said, quoting Repre-
sentative Faddis, "When the Dies
committee exposes someone, that in
dividuaI Immediately is given a
job"
The word "boondoggling," which
had not been banded about on edi-
torial pages for some years, made
it's appearance again, and congress
men leaders of the opposition de-
clared their desks flooded with
congratulatory mail.

organized and supplied, but by the
unrest of India, as evidenced by the
fact that the house of lords was con-
sidering giving the Hindus all they
had been asking for, and what, in
many instances, they had been
jailed for demanding.
Burma, for instance, where one Of
these vital struggles was taking
place, was hotbed Of anti-British
sentiment among the higherups, this
attitude making the defense of the
shores of the Irawaddy river be-
tween Rangoon and Manadalay
doubly difficult.
Yet China's miracle-working COO
lies were hard at labor creating
two, perhaps three new Burma
roads" which would have outlets at
points other than Rangoon, besides
the fact that China was sending
strong military forces southwark
to protect the present road.
Many realized, however, that be-
tween the Hindus, the British and
the Chinese were many gaps in un-
derstanding, the latter tending to
wonder whether the British under
stood the important nature of the
Far East war, and whether the Hin
dus were anxious to take any part in
it other than to surrender.
Chief benefit to United Nations
unity, however, was the fact that
the Japanese, instead of fighting
with propaganda, were coming in as
the hated military invader. This,
it was hoped, might finally result in
their downfall.
Certain it was that America, per-
haps as overconfdent on the Pa
cifc situation as the British, were
rapidly waking up to the serious
ness of the conditions in the battle
field, and joined by the Australians
were making ready to do something
drastic about it.
Two things stood out-WavelIs
calm promise that Singapore must
hold out for great reinforcements"
were on the way; and second, that
General Percival, in charge of Singa-
pores defenders, said ''of course"
Singapore would be held.
Evacuation of at least part Of
Britain's naval forces from the naval
base had been deemed a military
expediency, sort of clearing the
decks" for the siege, and it was
obvious that the British were not
going to be cleared from the Pacific
stronghold without a bitterest kind of
fight.
Shortly after the siege had begun,
Japanese troops, crossing at low
tide the narrow channel between the
mainland and the island, began their
attack. Slowly they pushed back the
beleaguered British troops who con-
tested each foot of ground that they
were forced to relinquish.
The Japanese showed the same
brand of fight here as they dis
played against MacArthur's men.

Does the kitchen stove discolor
the wall behind it? Then build
yourself a heat deflector-a shelf
held up by angle irons, with a
sheet of metal curving in from the
edge of the shelf to the lower part
of the angle iron. Not only will
it prevent discoloration of the
wall, but it provides handy shelf
for salt, pepper and other condi-

MENACE:
OF Zap Culture

As the tentacleS OF the huge jap
anese advance throughout the south
west Pacific stretched themselves
across the map, it was evident that
the culture offensive" of the Nip
ponese throughout Asia was most
grandiose scheme that might yet
cause the United Nations all their
utmost power to circumvent.
Observers found it obvious that
Japan was playing on the anti
Christian tendencies of the entire
Moslem world in the hope that some
day all these millions might be bow
ing to the Mikado, from the brown
races of eastern Asia all the way to
the tribes of North Africa.

Britain menaced not only by the
necessity of keeping far-fung forces
