 Meanwhile, warlike toys are ap- bearing everywhere ' toy bomb sights, tanks, bombing planes, and even bomb banks for the dimes and inckels instead of the old piggy bank.
 In all this there is one conso- lation - for the girls. The war has not disturbed the production of dolls, except those made of rub Der.
 MERRY-GO-ROUND
 Uncensored reports from the Solomon Islands, when finally published, will show that the U. s. Marines fought with even great CT heroism than we realize. It will be one of the great epics in American naval history. The Marines at Solomon Islands were relatively unseasoned = only about eight months. The man who de- serves chief credit for seasoning them is efficient Captain Dan Barbey, U. s. Navy, who super vised their training as task force at Solomon Island, Maryland |. Longs old satellite Gerald K. Smith is now running for the Senate from Michigan as an in- dependent Republican. This prob ably will aid the election of Sen- ator Prentiss Brown, Democrat.

Selected Poem
IT'S AN ILL WIND

(Richard Armour in the New York Sun) If winter comes and come it will, With rain and snow and blasts that chill, With shorter days and longer nights, With less of sun and more of lights, I shall at least be pleased to know That when it comes some things will go. Particularly flies and ants That all the summer missed no chance To make al fresco meals task And bother me when I would bask. So come on, winter, blow and freeze, Be just as nasty as you please, For I can put on overshoes And gloves and mufiler if choose, Whereas the naked fly and ant, With insect limitations, can't.

 But those days are gone forever. Women have seen in recent months how their sisters have penetrated some of the most sacred spheres of men, and have gotten away with it. Tn fact. they have often proved themselves better than men in cer- tain jobs.
