Churchill Invited
ToPacific Zone

LONDON, March 2-(UP)-Prime
Minister Winston Churchill's pres
ence in the Australian war zone
would be of more military value
than "a fresh army corps" Gen.
Douglas Macarthur has informed
the prime minister in extending an
invitation it was announced today.
He was replying 10 a cable from
Churchill congratulating him for
the Allied victory in Papuan New
Guinea.
Churchill had cabled; Il have
watched with particular admiration
your mastery employment of trans
port aircraft to solve the most
complicated and diverse logistical
problems. 1 should like to let you
know how grateful we all feel
throughout the British empire that
you stand guard over all these vital
interests.
Pray also accept my own per-
sonal good wishes. I look forward
indeed to the day when we may
meet

Poles Maylose
Pre.War Frontiers

LONDON, March 2-(UP)-Diplo-
matte observers believed today that
Poland's hopes of regaining her
pre-war frontiers are definitely end
ed. although Polish Premier Wlad-
islaw Sikorski may attempt to con-
tact Josef Stain in an effort to
reach some understanding
A Russian declaration, distrib-
uted by the Tass agency, accused
the Poles of imperialism and viola
ton of the Atlantic charter in ask
ing for the pre-war frontier, but
in spite of this the Polish exile
government stood firm today in its
demands.
Most observers here believed Rus
sia is determined to retain the
frontier that existed in 1910 at the
time of the NaZi blitz on Russia,
which resulted when the Russians
marched into Poland from the east
after the Germans had attacked
from the west.

P. ". Administrator
Asks Peace Plan

CHICAGO, March 2. - fUP)-
Mai. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, Fed
eral Works administrator, today
advocated prompt formulation OF
plans for a postwar public works
program to cushion the shock OF
converting from a wartime to a
peace-time economy.
In speech to the Union League
club, Fleming pointed out that the
task of reconverting takes time
and that planning for it should not
be postponed. He called for COM
plete plans that would include site
acquisition, blueprints and con-
tractors specifications, so that ac-
tual construction could be started
Immediately upon cessation OF hos

Italy to Send
More Men to Front

LONDON, March 2-UP)-Ben-
ito Mussolini was reported today
to have promised Adolf Hitler,
through Hitler's foreign minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, that he
would send several more divisions
of Italians to Russia, and order
general civil mobilization in Italy
to provide labor for Axis war
plants.
A dispatch reaching Zurich from
Berlin said German government
circles were frankly and honestly
satisfied with the results of Rib
bentrop's conferences with Musso-
llni in Rome.
1T is we'll known that they have
followed internal italian develop
ments with utmost attention since
the Allied landing in North Africa,
the dispatch said. Nov, after the
impressions gained by Ribbentror
in Italy, they are firmly convinced
that Mussolini is determined tC
share Germanys fate to the bitter

Wartime Dishes
Aided by Spices
BY Edith VI. Barber

1t is some time since We have re-
viewed the spice situation in this
column. 1t is more encouraging
than was prophesied. Certain prod
ucts are now being grown in this
country, and production of others is
being increased in the West Indies
Stocks of others which came from
the East Indies and India still re-
main and some are coming in from
the British colonies. Before war
began We were already producing
mustard. LOUISIANA is providing us
with cayenne, red pepper, which is
slightly less hot than the former al
though still pretty hot; paprika and
chilli powder. Chill is also coming
from Mexico, and there have been
recent shipments from Portugal.
Stocks Of both black and white pep
per are somewhat depleted, but We
are not deprived of them entirely.
The production of dill seed has been
increased and is being used to re-
place both caraWay and POPPY seed.
especially for rolls. Some sesame,
also being used in the same way, is
coming in from South America.
Sage supplies are low. but to re-
place it Mexico is sending us ora
geno, which has a flavor between
that of marjoram and sage. Mar
joram and thyme are still with us.
Most of our cinnamon has come
from China and the West Indies,
and must often be replaced by all
spice which comes from the West
Indies. which are also sending us
some nutmeg. Plenty of ginger is
coming in from the British colonies
in the east. Many pounds of cloves.
which keep so well, remain III stor-
age for our use,
All OF these spices are particularly
important just now when We need
their help in seasoning and flavor
ing so many dishes. Let me remind
YOU that speck Of cayenne or red
pepper goes long way, and must
not be used in the same quantities as
black or white pepper.

Good Posture
Is Important
By DR.. Martha VI. Eliot,
Associate Chief, Children's Bureau,
U. S. Department of Labor

| Associated Press Features.
There's little rime for children
about very straight man who lives
in straight house under q straight
tree, and who is always quite
straight no matter what he does.
You can take straight tip from
me that this man wasn't one of the
huge number rejected by the U. S.
Army as physically unfit. He prob
ably had a mother who saw that as
, a child he got plenty of nourishing
food and play in the fresh air and
sunshine She had the doctor look
him over frequently. too, because
good health and good posture go
| together.
Posture is mere than merely
standing straight. 1t implies good
body mechanics. poise. and balance
that make the body graceful when
it's in motion. When the body is
in correct balance the internal Or
gans are held in good position.
You. yourself. can see bad posture
in your child afte7' 1t becomes really
bad, But only the doctor will OBJ
serve the slight deviations from nor
NAL posture that may indicate
faulty development and need for
early care.
The foundation for health is laid
in the first six years of life. During
these years have Your child exam
med by doctor, or take him to
child-health conference once a
month. If he attends nursery
school. the doctor there should keep
sharp eye out for signs of any
physical defects.
But health inspection has to be
followed by corrective measures.
Have your child's teeth filled if they
need it-yes, first teeth should be
preserved so that second teeth will
come in healthy and straight. If
he requires glasses get them before
his eyesight is seriously impaired.
Carry out all the doctors orders.
Keep your child growing straight
and strong.

as you and who have our husbands
still alive, and kicking at most of
the things we do. They differ as
every woman differs from her sister
and conform to no set pattern of
either virtues or vices.
The slightest investigation of the
legends about widows shows how
little foundation they have to rest
upon. Take the one. for instance,
about widows being sirens who can
lure any man into matrimony. If
they do it is not because of some
mysterious magic. 1t is experience.
1t is technique. 1t is because. having
had a husband, they know how to
handle the creatures.
And consider how absurd is the
belief that every widows PRAYER is
Lord, send me husband when
there is no woman. no matter how
old and unattractive she is, who
doesn't have dozens of proposals
from impecunious men who would
like to hang up their hats in her hall
and stretch their feet under her
table. If so be her first husband LETT
her a comfortable home and a nice
little Wad of insurance honey.
That there are lazy women who
make graft of widowhood rather
than work that there are vain
widows who buy themselves boy hus-
bands; that there are credulous
widows who let glib takers sell them
blue sky, no one will deny. But,
for the most part widows are
among the salt of the earth and
heaven knows what We would do
without them
Even the Bible commends them
to our care and tells us to console
them and wipe away the tears from
their eyes. But it is a hazardous
thing for an old bachelor or widower
to do unless he is thinking of marry
ing and settling down.
