Roosevelt MESSAGE
To Conglrie|ss;;Telts il
OF Mutual Aid
Continued From First Page.)

\SOAAtAAAACA AOAl IL oO kdkC.J
Mr.. Roosevelt said, emphasizes the
contribution which the British Com.
monwealth has made to the defense
of the United States while taking
its place on the battle fronts.
1T is an indication of the extent
to which the British have been pool
ing their resources with ours so that
the needed weapon may be In the
hands OF that soldier-whatever may
be his nationality-who can at the
proper moment use it most effective
ly to defeat our common enemies,
he said.
Figures Incomplete.
The figures represent an incom-
plete accounting. For instance, Mr.
Roosevelt said, many supplies and
services have been made available
by the British to United States
forces in North Africa, Sicily and
elsewhere for which no report has
been received.
Nor do they take into account an
ticipated exports of raw materials
commodities and foodstuffs for the
account of the United States. Pre-
viously this country purchased these
things, the President said, but the
United Kingdom agreed last sum-
mer to put them on the basis OF re-
verse lease-lend.
Now. without paying for them
the Chief Executive said the United
States will get such items as rub.

Guiana and British Honduras, sisaI
and pyrethrum from British East
Africa, asbestos and chrome from
Southern Rhodesia, cocoa from Brit
ish West Africa, tea and coconut
oil from Ceylon and Benzol and tai
acids from the United Kingdom.
Russell Asked for Checkup.
The presidential report was the
18th to Congress since lease lend
was inaugurated in March, 194l, and
it dealt entirely with reverse lease

wealth.

around the world. suggested closer
scrutiny Of lease-lend and charged
on the Senate floor that Britain had

tanned from this country, without
giving credit to the United States.
Mr.. Roosevelt confined himself to
reciting what America was getting
in return for the lease lend help she
has extended to the British Com
monwealth.
THE overwhelming benefit which
the United States has received from
its lease-lend program" he declared,
has, of course, been the pooling of
resources and the combined effort OF
the United Nations against the Axis
countries.
"One thing is clear: BY the help
which our friends and Allies have
given us, and by the help which we
have given them in the common

the British government has decided
to extend reciprocal aid to raw ma
terials and foodstuffs.
The report pointed out that Brit
ish aid to the United States is MAIN
ly the provision of services great and
small and of wide variety of items
transferred in the daily intercourse
Of the war effort.
Other Services Furnished.
Apart from the direct require
ments of the United States forces,
the British have furnished premises
for American Red Cross Clubs, many
N. A. A. F. I. canteens, equipment
for the American Red Cross and
Special Services Branch of the
,American Army. Over 80 per cent of
the current stocks of American
Army post exchanges in Britain are
being received as reciprocal aid from
the British. The same is true of 80
per cent Of the American Army
medical supplies in England. In ad-
dition, hospitals, some of them spe-
cially built and others, including
large number of civil and military
hospitals have been turned over as
they stood, together with ambulance
trains.
In conclusion the chancellor said:
The part which the British Com
monwealth has borne and is bear
ling in the field of mutual aid can
not be. measured in terms of money
Indeed, financial sacrifice is not the
most valuable part of what any of

This Memorial Day
Game Will Be Fun
For Your Crowd
By KATHERINE HOUISON.

Now it's our games that are going
patriotic! This red, white and
blue game is a lot of fun for a
crowd, and it's just what you need
to make that Memorial Day party
a success.
Divide the crowd into three
groups-the reds, the whites and
the blues. leaving out one person,
to be "it." You can draw lots for
this. if you like. Have the players
sit in double circle, or in small
groups not too far apart, for the
game should move fast.
The idea is for sit" to wander
among the players, whistling or
hun1ming, and suddenly touch
son.e one. Immediately that per-
son must call out something con-
nected with his color. A red play
er could shout ruby" or blood
a white player, milk or Snow"
a blue. Sky" or ink" or Navy
uniform"
Players must answer the moment
they are touched-no time is al
lowed for thinking. Failure to an
swer promptly means that player
must drop out. The faster cit
moves, the more fun the game is
Keep it up until all the players
but one have been eliminated, then
award a red, white, and blue prize
1t isn't as easy as it sounds, but
you can make it even harder by
choosing subject and have all the
words refer to it. You could take
food, minerals, or nature, which

Another distant place from which
Bud has an envelope is Pago Pago
Samoa.
The greater part Of his collection
came by mail to large company
by which he was employed, but some
of the envelopes were given to him
by friends. He says it is interesting
to note the postage stamps from all
these far-fung places, as we'll as to

This Bird Shadow Plaque
Is Simple Jigsaw Job
By ELMA WALTNER.

Birds flying across the silvery face
of an autumn moon-that is the
effect this bird shadow plaque Gre
ates. This is simple jigsaw and
paint job whose finished beauty be-
lies its ease of construction.
Enlarge the pattern OF the bird
group by ruling off q Inch squares.
BY drawing into each large square
that part of the pattern that ap-
pears in the corresponding small
square, you can enlarge the pat
tern and, at the same time, keep
the proportions, even If you feel
that drawing ability is among your
lesser gifts.
Transfer the pattern to % s-incn
plywood. Saw out the group of
birds and give a coat of white
enamel to the top surface and the
edges as q sealer and undercoat.
When the first coat of paint has
dried, finish the painting Of the
piece, using the illustration for a
color guide.
The circular background of the
picture is also cut of plywood. 1t
is an 8-inch circle. Give this part
an undercoat of white enamel also,

Girl Aids War Effort
As Letter Writer

MY war work Is not SO much a
money maker as it is morale
maker" writes Miriam Dunkin of
South Bend, Ind.
"a friend of ours has two sons
in the United States Army. She is
a naturalized American and finds
it most difficult to write letters to
her soldier-boy sons. One day I
offered to write her letters for her.
She was so pleased that she told
some of her friends who had the
same difficulty, and now I have
quite a few customers.
when they are financially able
to pay for this, T accept a small
amount for each letter; but If I
know they are poor, I accept their
smiles, thanks, and bits of foreign
cooked food as payment for writ
ing the letters.
"The mothers tell me what to
say in the letters, and I write 1t
as correctly as I can. In this way,
many naturalized mothers are able
to write frequently to their soldier
boys-and does that please them
and their fighting sons!"

the square mile!
Java has more than twice as many
people as all the other islands OF
the Dutch East Indies put together.
Its population Is more than 4O,000,-
600. Most OF the people belong to
the brown-skinned Malay. race, and
when the japanese came, there were
less than 10000 900 whites on the Is
land.
High mountains rise in Java, some
Of the peaks being more than miles
above sea level. Several Of the As
volcanoes are classed as active"
Eruptions Of Javas volcanoes have
caused heavy loss Of life during re.
cent centuries.
Rice Is Chief Food.
Thick rain forests" cover some
parts of Java, but about 40 per cent
Of the land is used for farming.
There are few other places in the
world with such large proportion
OF the ground under the plow. Only
by careful use Of the soil can the
heavy population obtain enough
food.
The crops include rice, sugar cane
and coffee, along with fruits and
spices. Rice is the staple food, and
If this crop failed there would be
great danger Of the people going
hungry.
Before the Japanese invasion,
Java was the land from which the
world obtained most Of its cinchona
bark. This bark, taken from trees,
provides the drug known as "qui-
nine," which is used in the treat
ment Of malaria.
I wish that I could speak Of
quinine as "cure" for malaria, but
it is hardly that. It holds down
the disease to large extent, but
person who takes quinine may
suffer from malaria for years. Since
our supply Of Java cinchona bark
has been cut off, we have been
using substitutes for quinine to a
large extent. Perhaps a far better
way to treat malaria will be dis
covered in time to come.
Lizard Can Fly.
Java jungles and forests contain
tigers, leopards, wild oxen and wild
pigs. There also are wildcats, deer
and monkeys.
The so-called flying dragon" Is
another animal of Java. Far from
being in the nature of a dragon. it
IS a small, harmless lizard. It's usual
length is only or inches.
Although small, the flying dragon
is interesting. 1t is a present day
lizard with the power of fight. It
glides, instead of Tapping its wings,
and does not have nearly 50 much
flying power as prehistoric flying
lizards" had.
Yet the flying dragon can get
through the air rather we'll. It's
wings" are made up Of skin which
covers six bones on each side
Of the body.
Living in trees, this lizard spreads
its wings and glides from one
! branch to another, or from a
Efanch to the ground. Gides Of
from go to 80 feet have been reported
for the flying dragon.
