The W ashington
 Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMajor Robert s. Allen on active duty.)

WASHINGTON-In one office oi the Navy there is a map on the wall. For 25 cents a naval officer can stick pin in the part of the map where he believes the invasion of Europe will take place
 So far there is $l3.50 in the pot which goes to show how many diff ferent theories exist inside the Navy as to where the second front will start. The final decision, of course will be made by the gentle men now discussing strategy in the White House.
 There. are some interesting diff ferences between this current meet ing and those previously held be- tween the President and Winston Churchill. Aside from the fact that during the other conferences we were not winning, and now we are the most important difference is secrecy.
 Both at Casablanca and in Wash lngton last summer, the Churchill Roosevelt conferences were abso- lutely mum.
 This time, however, the Allies want the Axis to know that Churchill and Roosevelt are meet ing. Obviously they want it known that they are discussing the one big question sure to spell Axis de- feat: a second front on the Euro pean continent.

 six and later he switched to the Navy.

ards Of living among their own peo-
pie. With this in view, they have
studied the daily food needs Of the

izing that serving an everyday meal
attractively and observing the little
niceties are important in any well reg
ulated h e, this unit has been
stressed.
1t is the opinion of these student
teachers that if through their teach
ing, they can help people spend more
time planning meals for the family
SO that the food budget will give them
adequate and nutritious meals each
day of the week instead of feasting
on Sunday and eating poorly balanc-
ed meals thereafter, their teaching
will not be in vain.

12-I have heard the murmurings
of the children of Israel: speak unto
them, saying, At even ye shall eat
flesh, and in the morning ye shall be
filled with bread; and ye shall know
that am Jehovah your God.
13-And it came to pass at even,
that the quails came up, and covered
the camp: and in the morning the dew
lay around about the camp.
14-And when the dew that hay was
gone up, behold, upon the face Of the
wilderness a small round thing, small
as the hoar-frost on the ground.
15-And when the children of Is
rael saw it, they said one to another,
What is it? for they knew not what
it was. And Moses said unto them,
1t is the bread which Jehovah hath
given you to eat.
16-This is the thing which Jeho-
vah hath commanded Gather We of
it every man according to his eating;
an omer head, according to the num-
Der OF persons, shall ye take it, every
man for them that are in his tent.
17-And the children of Israel did
so, n d gathered some more, some
less.
1S-And W h n they measured it
with an omer he that gathered much
had mother over. and he that gathered
little had no lack; they gathered
every man according to his eating.
Exodus l7:3-And the people thirst
ed there for water; and the people
murmured against Moses, and said,
Wherefore hast thou brought us up
out of Egypt, to kill us and our child
rem and our cattle with thirst?
And Moses cried unto Jehovah,
saying, What shall I do unto this
people? they are almost ready to
stone me.
5-And Jehovah said unto Moses,
Pass on before the people. and take
with thee of the elders of Israel; and
,hy rod, wherewith thou smotest the
liver, take in thy hand, and go.
6-Behold, l will stand before thee
here upon the rock N Horeb; and
,hou shalt smite the rock, and there
shall come water out OF it, that the
people may drink. And Moses did do
in the sight of the elders of Israel.

the new fire. Other ceremonies will
center about the paschal candle. the

water. Professions of clergy and
children also have been arranged at
many churches. Elaborate services
have been scheduled throughout the
city for tomorrow.
Easter greetings continued to pour
into the city today, many Of them
from military camps, and customary
Easter flowers began to make their
appearance at windows OF many
homes. Easter cards and likewise
Easter plants were almost all gone
by close of business yesterday. Cor
sage orders were reported to have
exceeded florists highest eXpecta-
tons.
Many of yesterdays shoppers APP
peared in spring outfits and some
even ventured to go coatless. Tenn
