 The Chapmans, who recently celebrated their tenth wedding anniversary, are one of the out standing husband and wife conn blnations in the musical profess sion. They met in Italy where they had gone to study music, and they have, in the past, given many joint recitals.
 Frank and I speak the same language", says Miss Swarthout, who is firm i'm her conviction that mutual endeavOr and mutual in. terest make for the greatest har- m0ny between husband and wife. "Our very life Is music and we live 1t together. Imagine trying to talk Wagner to Q tired business man home after a hard day at the office.

What is your definition of an Amazon? Well, ours has always been something like this--a female strongheart, who applied her powder with Q shooting iron instead of g puff, flexed her well-developed muscles for recreation, and wore arnor- -plate in all the wrong places! Truly a daughter of the soil--or, to wax poetical, wall flower in full bloom. But we changed our minds quietly, albeit enviously, said the gals, when we met Mary Ann Mer- cer, Q bit of sweetness who can do more with a smile and song, than ever an ancient Amazon accomp- lished with a battle-axe!
 NlM Mary Ann never shot down an enemy plane, sank battleship or cleaned up 8 machine-gun nest she's Q pretty small package for that sort of thing. But, she has helped do all three in her own competent and charming fashion. You see, she is helping Uncle Sam finance this war by causing the sale, in few short weeks of Sl87, ,SA9.65 worth of War Bonds and Savings Stamps. And the folks who bought and sold these Bonds and Stamps weren't those sitting com- fortably behind desk earning out- rageously big salaries, either. They were some of the boys who are ac- tually winning this war for us-. namely, the soldiers and officers at Tt. Bliss, Texas.
 Yes, indeed, with the able assist ance of the boys in uniform, this little songbird really helped the war effort by causing the sale of more than one hundred eighty seven thousand dollars. And down there at Fort Bliss they are calling pretty, little Mary Ann Mercer the trouper with the smile that won the troop CTS!
 The Army's own "HOllywOod", where the young men of the mOv- les, radio and the stage pool tal- onts to make better soldiers for Uncle Sam, will be spotlighted in Che War Departments official ~Army Hour, broadcast tomorrow at 3:SO D. n., EWT, on the NBC- Red network.

The "hard-hkker drinkers to-
day had FIVE more days in which
to purchase their favorite gin,
whisky, cordials and liquors before
prices arc advanced.
The Office Of Price Administra-
ton issued an order, effective Au-
gust ). allowing an increase Of AT
least il cents a quart in the re-
tail price OF domestic gin, and
varying increases for other alco-
holic drinks.
The OPA said the advance in
prices was allowed 10 compensate
producers and distributors for
added costs resulting from con-
version Of dlstilleries 10 war work.
The price increase will depend
upon the type Of product. but
blends using neutral spirits will
reflect increased cost of more ex-
penslye high-proof alcohol, the
OPA explained. Officials empha-
sized that il was impossible TO de-
termine the exact amount OF the
price rise because "of the unCer-
tainty OF proposed tax increases.
