<WHISKEY RECESS
PLAN PRESENTED
Distillers Would Go Back
To Liquor Making For At
Least A Brief Time

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. - R -
The chemical division of the war
sproduction board ,QWPB) was dis
closed tonight to have laid be-
fore WPB Chairman Donald M.
Nelson a "whiskey recess" plan
under which distillers could go
back to liquor making for at least
a brief time.
This was reported by an official
who said it probably would be TAX
en- up with the War Food Admin
tration to determine whether the
nations grain supplies are sufi-
cient for period of whiskey
making, possibly this fall.
No legal whiskey has been made
in this country since October, 1912,
when distilleries converted 100
per cent to making industrial al
cohol for the government and war
industries. Heavy consumption
dwindle.
Factors pointing to a vacation
from industrial alcohol making in
cluded:
1. Improved shipping conditions
soon may allow a mounting supply
of blackstrap molasses to move
from the West Indies to this coun-
try. Molasses was the principal
pre-war material in industrial al
cohol making and if shipments
bear up, some eastern distilleries
may start using it instead of grain
in their alcohol stills.
2. There was no official COM
ment from the war food admins
tration but informed sources said
there were indications the agency
might go along with a whiskey-
making period. Wheat, rye, and
corn crops-essentials to whiskey
have improved recently.
3. The present production of in
dustriaI alcohol is Comfortably
ample" W..o33 official said, al
t. ough future needs will be af-
feoted by the exp anding synthetic
rubber program.
4. The nations warehouse
stock of whiskey was 424, 900, 600
gallons last July 4, a sharp drop
from year ago, while withdraw
ais - whiskey sold to dealers =
were SO, 8,OO0,O 900 gallons in the 1912
43 fiscal year, almost 4,000,000
gallons greater than in the previ-
GUS year.

ANOTHER FAILURE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-R
The japanese disappearance
from Kiska brings to an end
the latest enemy attempt to
set foot on North American
soil.
History shows only two 9TH
er invasions by foreign for
ces Of United States territory,
prior to this war and one of
them can hardly be called an
invasion.
In the war of 1912, the Brit
ish invaded this country, cap
turing a number of cities, in
cluding Washington, which
was taken and burned in 1874.
On March 8, 1916, the Mexi-
can bandit, Pancho Villa, kill
ed IS Americans and wounded
many others in an attack on
Columbus, New Mexico. This
invasion" by some 1,5O0 men,
led to the punitive expedition
into Mexico, under General
John J. PerShing.

When a Chinese goes into mourn
ing because of the death of rela-
tive, he stops using chopsticks I'M
til his period of mourning ends.
During that time he picks up his
meat and other food with his fin
gers.
The chopsticks, which take the
place of forks, have been used in
China for centuries. Chinese often
give signs by the way they handle
these sticks. For example, a per-
son can show that he wants to
leave the table by laying the sticks
across the bowl.

First Choice in the Service

If you've ever noticed the top Of
a Marine Officers visor cap,
you've seen on it something you
won't find on any other cap worn
in Uncle Sans service-a neat
''X'' of Topped braid.
There's a story back of that
braided "X'', and it goes back
more than $50 years, to a time
shortly after the U. S. Marines
were first organized.
In those days of sailing ships,
naval battles often ended in close
hand-to-hand fighting, as the crew
of one ship tried to board the 9TH
Grand Marines, of course, were
in the thick of the fight. Some were
in the boarding party, and some
were posted in the rigging to fire
down on the enemy. It was be-
cause of those men firing from
high on the masts that Marine of
ficers-whose uniforms from above
resembled the enemy's - fixed
"X'S" on their hats.
In other words, that braid meant
to the Marines in the rigging, tx
marks the spot-not to shoot att"
Since those days, the "X' on the
cap has become standard part
of the Marines uniform. Another
piece of STANDARD equipment"
you'll notice among Marines these
days-whether they're wearing
dress uniform or combat dunga-
rees-is the American cigarettes
they carry with them wherever
they go. In all those news pictures
you've seen of Uncle Sans fight
ing men, snapped as they are re-
taxing while "off duty you'll find
that in most cases they will be
smoking a cigarette. And what
brand do they prefer? Well, actual
sales records show that the favo-
rite with men in the Marines-as
in the Navy-is Camel. Likewise,
according to the sales records, !
Camels are first choice with men
in the Army.
Fighting men who have come
back from jungles, deserts, and
mountains-wherever Uncle Sans
forces are stationed - give one
pretty good reason for this choice.
They say that Camels stay fresh
that out in the jungles of Guadal-
canal, for instance, the Camels
they get are actually just as fresh
tasting and full-favored as the
ones they used to get back home.
Of course, the millions of men
in training camps here at home
want their cigarettes just as much
as soldiers. Your dealer now has
Camels in special Christmas car,
tons, gay and colorful-and he;
will be glad to wrap them for you
for mailing .-Adv.

Jumper the Hare was afraid to
leave the Green Forest.

made up his mind that he would
have some fun with Tommy.
So when Sammy Jay came along
Chatterer told him what Tommy Tit
had said, and Sammy told Peter
Rabbit, and Peter told Billy Mink,
and Billy Mink told little Joe Otter,
and SO the story spread all through
the Green Forest, and everywhere
Tommy Tit went someone was
sure to ask him if he had eaten
from the hand of Farmer Browns
Boy lately. And Tommy Tit never
once lost his temper. His bright lit
tie eyes would twinkle merrily and
he would say.
dee, dee, dee! You'll seel"
No, Tommy Tit the Chickadee is
such very little fellow-a very lit
tie fellow, indeed-and the more the
other little forest and meadow peo-
pie thought of it, the fupnier it
seemed that Tommy should boast
that he was not afraid Of Farmer
Browns Boy. Why, Tommy isn't
big enough to make one good bite
for Reddy Fox, and yet everyone
knows that Reddy doesn't dare go
near Farmer Browns Boy. 1t is the
same way with most Of the other
little forest and meadow people. So,
everyone thought that Tommy had
just boosted, and no one believed
that he really had meant it.
Of course, Chatterer the Red
Squirrel was one Of those who leased
Tommy most, and yet, if the truth
must be told, right down in his heart
Chatterer wondered if perhaps, after
all, it might not be true. You see,
Chatterer had a wholly changed
opinion of Farmer Browns Boy
since he had been prisoner and
then had been allowed to 60 free.
He had to admit that Farmer
Browns Boy had been very good to
him, and, somehow, he wasn't very
much afraid of him any more. In
fact, he sometimes thought that he
almost dared to eat out Of Farmer
Browns Boys hand himself. You
see, every day he found two or three
fat nuts hidden in the old stone wall
on the edge of the old orchard near
est Farmer Browns dooryard, and
he knew that they had been put there
especially for him.
But still he couldn't quite believe
that Tommy Tit was as friendly with
Farmer Browns Boy as he pretend
ed to be, so he dared Tommy to
prove it.
dee, dee, dee! You'll see! You'll
see!" laughed Tommy in his merry
way, and straightway flew through
the Green Forest and over the Green
Meadows-green no longer, for
they were covered with snoW-to in

vite everybody to visit Farmer
Browns dooryard the next morn
ing and see him prove that he had
not boosted. And whenever he de-
ivered the invitation he chuckled,
for he knew that most of those whom
he had invited would not dare to
come. Reddy Fox was sorry, but
he had an engagement the next
morning. Old Man Coyote had i'm
portant business up in the Old Pas
ture. Billy Mink had promised Little
Joe Otter to go fishing. Jumper the
Hare frankly said that he was afraid
to leave the Green Forest, and be-
cause he was SO honest about it Tom
my Tit didn't chuckle as he did at
the excuses of the others. Roughleg
the Hawk begged to be excused, be-
cause hunting was best at that time
of day and he didn't want to lose his
breakfast. But Chatterer the Red
Squirrel and Happy Jack the Gray
Squirrel and Peter Rabbit promised
to be there, for they knew there
were good hiding places in the old
stone wall. And, of course, Sammy
Jay said that he would be there.

 The demonstrator was one armed painter employed in the Main Yard, his subjects, live roosters, the time during lunch hour, and the object, to acquaint his onlookers with the fundamental principles of the operation so that they too may become. adept in the art of poultry raising.

Some of the "boyS" in the de- partment felt very sighted be- cause this was made a strictly fe- male affair and their resentfu1- ness was demonstrated in their gesture of sending corsages of roses 10 the girls as a surprise, and take 1t from me. the girls really were surprised and needless to say, very pleased for such thoughtfulness.
 A vote of thanks is extnded to Minnie Emmett for making the ar- engagements.
 It couldn't be a real party with out having some real fun and the girls had just that!
