and watched Danl and his COM
panion come up the aisle. The
woman, Esther had to admit
grudgingly. was very attractive.
Looked kind of like Myrna 10y.
Dan1 never saw Prill and Esther.
he was too busy looking at the
blond woman, slim. and
graceful in her powder-blHe dress
Next day, sharp-nosed Prill did
a bit of Sleuthing after church.
At dinner she said 10 Esther:
"WelI, I found out about
Dan''s girl friend. Seems she's
the new teacher down 10 the
high school. Names Cynthia
Graves. Folks seem to like her"
And she added maliciously:
Especially Danl."
OUT OF HIS MIND
Esther glared at her sister
Teach il she? Well,
DAM TraffOrd must be clear
out of his mind! Running around
with Eighty blond school
teacher when he ought to be
settling down Ia a comfortable
home with woman his own
age.
"Well, Dan'Fs too fond of
home cooking To stay away from
Teacher or no teacher"
Her smile regained some of It's
former complaeeney as she begar
to plan the supper for Dan'l OF
Tuesday night.
Danl arrived just as supper was
ready. He was a new Danl. He
looked trim and fit. Jaunty and
merry and mysterious. He had
lost some weight, too; those
pounds he had gained eating
Esther's meals.
Esther had outdone herself in
cooking supper for Danii. This
will get him, she thought, as she
lowered over the stove. There
was cream of corn soup. juicy
thick sizzling steak, French fried
potatoes. macaroni and cheese,
green peas and baking powder
biscuits. For dessert there was
hot. dark. fragrant gingerbread
simply smothered in whipped
cream, and generous cups of cof-
fee

NOT THE SAME MAN

But Danl wasn't the same man
who had sat before at Esther
abundant table. He slipped few
polite supoonfulS of cream soup
No crackers. Esther flushed angrily
as he refused in turn the French
fried potatoes. the peas. macaroni
and hot biscuits.
He sat and ate portion OF
steak and a sprig of parsley. That
was all. He explained that he was
on diet and could eat no starche:
and that everything but the steak
was starchy True, he gazeo
rather wiStfully al the hot ginger
bread. but shook his head with de-
termination and drank two cups o.
coffee, black.
Nonsense, Esther said vigor-
ouSly when Dan'l talked glibly
about calorieS and vitaminS. say
ing that he was eating lots of
lettuce. spinach and raw carrots
and cutting out Starches, sweets
and fats because he was over
weight.

MASHED POTATOES

mountain Of mashed potatoes. ny
ulcts of hot yellow butter running
down It's sides. Dishes OF runy red
bectS, green peas, baby lima beans.
Finally a plate of ESthcrS cthe-
really light cloNer-leaf rolls piping
hot from the oven.
Danl didn't talk much lie de-
voted all his attention 10 the meal
Esther kept ms plate full, passing
the rolls and insisting that he have
more chicken and vegetables
Finally, when Danl protested
that he couldn't eat another bite,
the ladies cleared the table and
then Esther brought in one OF her
Superlatlye apple pies.
Prill followed with the coffee,
while Esther proudly cut large
Segments of pie, the crust flaky
and tender; the apples, combined
with just the right amount OF
sugar and spice, oozing out IN
Steaming pale gold perfection.
Danl sighed btisSfuliy as he
downed the pie, accompanied by
little cubes of American cheese,
and a large cup of coffee well for
titled with sugar and cream.

Use OF Offices 10 House
War Workers Here Urued

One OF the first steps in solving
the housing problem in Washing
ton would be to return the housing
units now used as offices to resi-
dental use, John A. Reilly, chair
man of the Housing Committee of
the Civilian Mobilization Division
of the Metropolitan Office of Civil
ian Defense, said yesterday.
Mr.. Reilly has been instrumental
in finding apartments and rooms for
thousands of war workers and, ac-
cording to latest reports of the De-
fense Housing Registry, the supply
still exceeds the demand.
The registry figures for the month
ending October 20 show that 5,308
houses and apartments and 1894
rooms were listed with the registry
during that period. The figures
were not available to show the num-
Der of applications received during
the same period. but Mr. Reilly and
his committee have not yet hung
out the standing room only" sign.
Reorganization of the housing
registries under the new War Hous-
ing Center is expected to help work.
ers find homes and to lessen the
transportation problem by seeking
to place workers near their offices.

Only Week Remains to Send
YuIe Gifts to Men Overseas
D. c. Postmaster Urges Public Not to Delay
200 Pieces of MoiI Sent Daily for Month

fixed by the Post Office Department
and the Army Postal Service. Not
more than one Christmas parcel
may be mailed in any one week to
the same addressee by an individual.
No intoxicants may be mailed; and
no inf1ammable material, including
matches or lighter fluids, will be &C
cepted. The Army also advises
against sending food or clothing.
A spot" survey among men sta
toned at the Army Recruiting Sta
ton in the Greyhound Bus Terminal
Building, Eleventh street and New
York avenue NV, indicated the
men would desire something of a
utilitarian nature as gift if they
were out in the field.
First on the list of most Of the
men questioned was "spot cash"
They termed this "the most practical
and smallest" gift that could be sent.
Also, several of the soldiers volun-
teered, there is little chance of this
article being duplicated too much.
Other articles for which the men
readily spoke up included non break
able wrist watches, sewing kits,
flashlights. razor blades, toilet ar
ticles and such small utilities as
boxes of pins. thumb tacks and
miniature hammers and screw driv-
ers.
One OF the Army sergeants sug-
gested that a soldiers girl friend
would do well to send him a real
nice" picture. -,f.
Many of the stores in the District
have special departments where sug-
gestions for gifts to soldiers over
seas can be obtained.

Sailors Far Superior
To Those in 1906,
Admiral Strauss Says
Retired Naval Officer
Speaks at Luncheon
Of Harvard Club

Navy men today are better edu-
Gated and are greatly superior to the
sailors who manned United States
ships in the 1880s and 1905, Admiral
Joseph Strauss, retired, told $50
members of the Harvard Club of
Washington yesterday at lunch
con in the Roger Smith Hotel.
In the old days, many men of the
crew could not read and write and
had little knowledge except Of their
immediate duties, Admiral Strauss
said. He described the seamen
aboard Navy vessels today as gen
orally high school and very often
college graduates
The admiral a member of the
Naval Academy class of 1885. told
of life at the academy in his student
days and of his service in China
shortly after graduation.
Describing the wooden warships
then in service and declaring that
the United States at that time was
inferior to several other countries
in naval strength, Admiral Strauss
said he is impatient with this
country's attitude toward defense in
peacetime. We pay little attention
to arming ourselves, and then when
the inevitable war takes place." we
find ourselves unprepared, he re-
marked.
Chairman of the luncheon was
Robert Lincoln OBrien, club presi-
dent. i.

COP AssoiIs
Lee on Jui-oIoi
Gambling Bill

The Republican State Central
Committee of Montgomery County
last night. attacked 1t. Col. E,
Brooke Lee, Democratic candidate
for the House from the Sixth Mary
land District, for his efforts to OBJ
tain passage of a bill legalizing
gambling on jai-alai at the last
session of the Maryland General
Assembly.
While a member of the House Of
Delegates last year, Col. Lee led
efforts to obtain passage Of legis.
lation legalizing the popular Florida
gambling game in Montgomery
County. The bill passed, but Gov.
O'Conor vetoed it after the public
and church, civic and service or
ganizations beseiged his office with
objections, the Republicans said.
The account of Col. Lees part in
the legislation, as related by a
county newspaper. has been re.
printed by the committee.
Arthur j. Hilland, chairman OF
the State Central Committee which
supports the Republican candidate.
]. Glenn Beall, for the House, said

right tax, in the case of married
person, the respective figures are 40
per cent and 60 per cent.
More of Other Taxes.
The 1943 tax totals can be broken
down as follows: ST ,440 income-sl54
regular income tax and $40 80 victory
tax: $1,620 income-$l84 regular in
come tax and $49.80 victory tax, and
an ST, 300 income-$218 regular in
come tax and $3.50 victory tax,
In addition to this, various living
expenses will increase because of a
hike in many excise levies. On ciga-
rettes there will be a Y cent increase
on a pack of small cigarettes and l
cent a pack for large cigarettes; a
2O per cent fiat tax on long distance
calls, instead of sliding scales now
IN use; a S per cent increase to IS
per cent tax on kilograms, and an
entirely new levy of 3 per cent on
transportation of property-freight,
in other words. The tax on trans
portatlon of persons-railroads,
buses, airplanes tickets-has been
upped 5 per cent to 10 per cent.
How 1t Figures.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics of
the Labor Department last summer
set up a minimum budget for a
young girl living alone In Washing
ton. They found that as of July IS,
1912, it costs a young woman ST.
313.08 a year to live in modest cir
cumstances in the Nations Capital.
Deducting from a 81 ,44O annual in
come, S per cent for the Federal re-
tirement fund and $19480 in taxes,
and using the $1,313.08 living ex-
pense total, one finds the 81 ,440 Gov
ernment girl with a $139.88 deficit
at the end of the year.
Using respective retirement fund
and tax totals fer the $3.50 girl,
one finds deficit of $7.88. Under
like circumstances the $1,000 girl
comes out $l2012 to the good. She
alone in the lower brackets should
have q surplus at the end of the
year.
None Of the above calculations has
made provisions for War bond .pur-
chases, although great many Gov
ernment bureaus and divisions here
IN Washington have pledged them
selves 100 per cent to 10 per cent
bond purchases.

Bark|ey Urges Examination
OF Candidates War Record
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Majority Leader Barkley declared
last night that those who opposed
the Administrations efforts to pre-
pare for war have no right to pre-
tend that they are entitled to the
drivers seat" now on the ground
that they can do better job.
In radio speech, he urged all
Americans to vote at the Novem-
ber elections, but he warned them
to examine the record Of thoses'why
cry aloud at the conduct of the
war"
"Let not the result Of our elec-
ton give encouragement or ground
for glee to the Hitlers, the Musso-
linis or the war lords of Japan.
Such result would prolong the war,
cost precious American lives, and
complicate all the problems the war
will bequeath to U.S."
Senator Barkley declared 1t was
the duty of civilians to the armed
forces to choose members of Con-
gress who will not betray them
while the fighting is in progress or
the cause for which they fight when
the fighting is over"

And with that they packed their
bags, checked out of the New Co.

the City of Brotherly Love.
Seven Hours Spent in Vain.
That was just the end OF a frantic
seven hours the couple spent in
Washington as they tried to find
way around that clause in the mar
riage law which required couples
to wait five days after application
before the knot can be tied, But
there was nothing but Illustration
They had tried Maryland-where
altar r-bound couples must wait two
days-and Virginia. where they must
have health certificates.
They had appealed to the Stage
