BUY BULLETS. This month one of the
U. SIS greatest sales campaigns got under
way. Close to $4,000 drugstores - which
means every one in America - are going
all out to help buy billion bullets for our
armed forces
Every time you make drugstore pur-
chase the man behind the counter will,
when possible, give you your change in
quarters. And he'll insert at least one of
those quarters in a special little card which
says: This quarter will buy IL bullets.
Use it to buy 25c War Stamp here -
right now"
U. S. drugstores have Is million GUS
TONERS a day. That will mean lot of
bullets.
WELCOME. A young man we know got
his ensign's commission very suddenly,
was ordered to report Immediately. He
rushed to a tailor. bought his Navy blues,
reported to his base When he walked into
the oommandant's Office, lieutenant CON-
manders, commanders and even captains
jumped to attention with quick salutes. A
nice place. thought the green ensign who
hadn't in the slightest expected such
charming welcome from the brass hats.
With a warm feeling for the Navy and
all its men. he began taking off his over
coat What happened next he's not sure,
but he does remember landing in slightly
bruised shape outside the door. The trou-
Bile? Well, it seems that the little side-street
tailor did swell job on the uniform. But
when he came to the ensign's overooat he
decided to add something for good meas
ure So he sewed on a pair of admiral's
epaulets.

DUTCH FLAG. Oldest of all national
flags, according to one of our contributors,
is the Netherlands.
The Dutch banners red, white and blue
goes back 10 1854. when the oolors of
Holland and Bavaria were combined. That
flag is still the Official ensign for both the
Dutch Navy and the merchant fleet. Our
expert says that more than 20 nations got
their flag ideas from the Netherlands' en-
blem. And the city of New York, first set
tied by the Dutch, just changed the red
to yellow before adopting the ensign
completely. M.

explained. Bob Cummings is an

love and are about to be mar

Naturally, he balks at the
marriage. And just as naturally,
the princess blows up. And
there you have your trouble;
the villainy stems not from a
person or thing, but from Sit
