you never had "totin'" privileges in
any of the contracts with your help,
this roughly is what it is:
The servant has the right to tote
home the leftovers. 1t also carries
with it the privilege to determine
what comprises leftovers, not to
mention uncooked potatoes, dozen
cupcakes, and three or four bars of
soap.
But the Mobile Chloes and Dinahs
are a-taking 1t easy these days.
Their men folks are in the ship
yards, helping build for Uncle Sam,
and mercy, how the money rolls in.
There are vegetables on the floor.

What is happening in Mobile Is
happening all over the South. There
is much wringing of hands and
complaining still going on. but
Southern women are rallying fairly
magnifcently for Southern women.
Some of them already have cut
down their telephone gossiping to
three hours day, and reduced their
trips to the corner drugstore for
cokes and chat from 10 to 8.
They still ride around town in a car
most of the day, but this is some
thing that won't stop until the last
tire is gone and it has been proved
that a car won't travel on inner
tubes.
Southern cooking already has suf-
fered from the lack of capable help
in the kitchen. Biscuits that used
to float in, nov come in on crutches,
broken down by their own weight.
The Chloes and Dinahs left no
recipes when the defense work en-
abled them to lay down their culi-
nary arms. They cooked strictly by
ear. The housewives they
have had to become housewives in
more than name only-are turning
out meals that have no Southern
accent.

With the war in full swing and
the United States fighting the
greatest battle in its history, the
red tape which stif1ed its military
preparations in peacetime is
being eliminated. But much still
remains, in spite of the efforts Of
authorities to slash through it.
From the fighting services in
the field and at sea come shouts
to get rid Of every inch Of red
tape and to fill their needs with
out reference to peacetime rules
and regulations.
1t Is over a month since we
were attacked by the japanese.

Armament Inadequate.

Armament Inadequate.
Furthermore, the japanese at
tack proved that our. prepared
ness must undergo some drastic
changes. For instance, regula-
tions provided before the attack
on Pearl HarbOr that certain
auxiliary vessels should be pro-
vided with a certain type of gun
which proved satisfactory during
the last war, when the American
Navy was principally on convoy
duty. At that time the airplane
had not become the important
war weapon 1t, is now. Hence,
such auxiliary vessels were pro-
vided with the protection needed
"a years ago.
Under the new fighting condi-
tions it has been discovered that
the armament of some of the
auxiliaries is totally inadequate.
But since the books provide that
only a certain type and quantity
Of ordnance should be placed on
such vessels, it takes time be-
fore the authorities can study
the new conditions and effect
changes.
Reports must be made by the
proper authorities on both Pa
cific and Atlantic coasts. They
are sent through routine chan
nels and finally reach the proper
officials in Washington, who take
the matter up with still higher
authorities. In the end a change
may be approved.
Vexing Delays Caused.
The same delay has been ex-
perienced in shipment of planes
to certain Allied war areas. Un-
til December 7 certain regula-
tions had to be strictly observed.
Papers were sent from one office
to another. Sometimes the

81 swami" Lilua tossed at him In
q quick, almost contemptuous aside.
She went on talking to Karen, lev

"You have nothing to give him."
Lilua said in that inexorable, steady
voice. "You can only think Of posi-
ton, and land, and money. Would
you want him if you had first seen
him sick, and helpless, and alone?
You know your eyes would not have
seen him at all. This is my man.
If he were dead, would make my
self die. Would your"
Suddenly Dick was unable to
speak. He stood weaponless, hum
BILE, and-without any particular re-
course or hope. Diffidently he turned
his eyes to Karen.
Karen Waterson had gone perfect
" white = whittier than sea foam,
whittier than the knit linen of the lit
tie hat she wore. Her mouth was
oddly distorted, but her eyes were
blank. She seemed to have lost all
power Of motion exactly where she
stood. Then the reel of the little
ship unbalanced her, and by its very
unlxindness seemed to return her the
gift of movement. Karen turned,
literally fled. At the foot Of the lad
der she flung Dick one irrational, UNI
readable glance; then ran away
from them into the upper night.

Dick Wayne was left facing Lilua
alone. For q moment Lilua's eyes
remained fixed upon the companion
way where Karen had disappeared.
Then her eyes turned 70 Dick, and
for a moment they looked at each
other.
"Lilu', Lilu'," Dick said. "what

For one brief moment the sharp,
spear-like flames in the eyes Of Lilua
broke down; she looked at Tonga
Dick pathetically, pitifully, with no
defense behind her eyes, no barriers
at all.
Dicks voice was cool, definite as
a strake. "Stop it, you hear me?
Forget it-cut it out!"
The girl let the sway Of the ship
take her, then. She swayed against
the doorway's stanchion, and stayed
there.
Dick took the ladder in long, re-
luctant strides. A glance told him
that Karen was in the point Of the
bow.
He stood minute by the swaying
mainmast, trying to gather himself,
but without any effect. Then he
walked forward to the rail where
Karen stood. Close to her at the
rail, he drew her close against his
side, easily and naturally; it had
always seemed to him that she be-
longed nowhere else but there.
'Karen-"
She took herself away from him
sharply-out Of the curve of his arm,
out Of contact with him in more ways
than one; and they stood alone, as

"a brat is a child, Dick. This
girl is anything but child"
''What does it matter what she is?
II you and Il"
Perhaps it matters everything
what she is. Perhaps-she's what
you made her. ! don't know how
old she is. But that's a woman,
Dick. II you've made her your own.,
rs it seems you have"
Her words died in her throat; but
she had said enough.
For a moment then Tonga Dick
Wayne faltered. The cool chiseled
lines Of Karen Waterson seemed in
finitely far away. For q moment
he was able to hope-even to believe
that he could put her out of his
mind, out Of his heart. For little
while this girl had become to him
like a dream of the stars--but q
