WALLA-WALLA WOMAN WANTS
TO WALTON

What do you mean no use for
bathtubs anyway?" (she demands.
Here I've been longing for tub.
What method have you that's
easier than bathing in tub?
Shower bath or no bath at all?
If YOU lived here and wanted to
take a bath you'd built a fire in the
kitchen stove, go out on the porch
and pump water, carry the water
in to fill the reservoir and teakettle,
20 out to get an armful OF Wood,
then bring in the wash tub, set out
after the mop, lay out your clean
clothes, and bath mat, get towel
and wash cloth, go after chalr,
hang some newspapers over the low
windows, lock one outside door, dip
! the heated water into the tub, hurry
out to porch to pump two more pail
fuls to fill the reservoir again for
the next bather, drag the Woodbox
against the porch door, set chair
against the other door into the DIM
ing romo, slip off your clothes, step
into the tub with both feet before
YOU realize it is too hot, then paddle
back to the water bucket for dip
perful of cold water, again put one
foot gingerly in the tub, stir IT
around, and get in all over, il you
are not too fat Or rheumatic. II
too fat or rheumatic you just stand
up, like the Briton caught In his
bath when the band played God
Save the King, or perhaps kneel and
lave yourself as well as you can,
making a ring of water on the floor
around the tub. 1t was for this that
you brought the mop you see, and
you use the mopj to wipe up the
floor before you sep cut of the tub.
Then you step out, dry, dress, and
If your back is weak you holler for
some one to come help carry the
water out, and you pick up your
laundry and call "NeXt!"
forget to mention continues
the correspondent that sometimes
you forget the soap until you are
in t he tub and reach for it. Then
you have to scramble out and across
the cold linoleum after it. At the
moment l can think of nothing /

to read this over carefully. It's
Saturday and I've got to take a
bath, SC help me. CIV. A.
Ma'am, if had a croWbar and
an acetylene torch I'd gladly dig
out a tub or two and sent 1T or
them to you. To the best OF my
knowledge nobody has used a tut

cept maybe young Bill who some
times uses one for submarine ma
neuvers.

THE WOMEN------
Army Wives Don't Gossip Much
Which Is a Tip For Civilians

dealings with their wives.
Maybe civilian husbands could
scare their wives into giving up
gossip entirely if they could show
them how easy it is for a woman's
talk to cut down husbands IN
come.
If the loss we're translated into
clothes, furniture, or school tuition
it might strike home.
WHAT HUBBY
DOESN'T KNOW
But the trouble is few husbands
know just how much their wives
gossip. For though wife may tell
her husband what she heard at her
bridge club, she never tells him how
much she herself passed on.
So while a man knows that Wo-
men gossip a lot, he always feels
that HIS wife is listener Inland
not a passer-on of choice bits OF
scandal.
II the average husband knew how
much gossip his wife repeats in the
course of a week, he would soon Go
something to stop it. For if he has
any business sense at all, he knows
that it is not just army officers who
are held responsible for their wives
talk-it is also every man whose
living depends on others doing bust
r esS with him.
