SO Tons of Maps Sent

When u. S. troops landed in
North Africa in November, 1912,
their baggage included ITO tons of
military maps. During the three
months which followed, they re-
ceived an additional 400 tons of
maps. Military maps are made
in a closely guarded building on
the outskirts of Washington, D. c.

more than five million military

First War Food Agency
Earned $50, 600, 900 Profit

A study of the United States food
administration in World War /
shows that this war agency, estab-
Iished to aid orderly marketing OF
grain and flour earned profit OF
sec, 900 and employed about H.
900 persons to carry out its task.
Principal key positions were filled
by volunteer workers and at the
height of its activities on July Is,
1918, only four persons were car
ried on the payroll of the food ad-
ministration at salary in excess
of $4,000 annually.
The food administration itself, ex-
elusive of the various boards, had
only 1888 paid employees in Wash
ington and 1858 in the field. The
average Washington salary was
$1,274, while field salaries averaged
only $988.56.
Total expenditures Of the food ad-
ministration amounted to ST, 1862, $685.
900 which included the cost Of the
temporary buildings erected to
house it's activities. OF that amount,
only So, 1893, 900 was paid out for sal
aries to both permanent and tenn
porary employees. The total volume
of purchases Of all supplies made by
the food administration during its
existence aggregated more than
$3.50. 1000, 900.

Whale Can Hold Breath
As Minutes: Blows Air

Although whales usually spend
less than five or six minutes under
water in a single dive, there are
records of them being out OF
sight for IS to As minutes. Yet
the whale has no gills and must
take its oxygen from the air and
hold it in it's lungs. Under water,
it's nostrils close and keep water
from entering it's lungs.
When the whale surfaces it
blows out the air, which is moist
and gives the appearance of a
spout of water. Actually, no wa
ter comes from the heads of these
monsters.
Whales weigh from Is to ITO
tons, but they are strong swim
mers, bending their bodies as do
fish. The whale has the largest
head of any animal that ever
lived.

There is an old belief that blondes
are tickle, and that brunettes are
serious and faithful. The truth is
that there is no difference whatever
as psychologists have found: that
there are just as many tickle bru-
nettes and faithful blondes, as vice
versa. Neither is it true that blondes
are more vivacious, daring or versa
tile than brunettes; nor that bru-
nettes are more affectionate or more
clinging vines than are blondes.
Complexion, like beauty, is only skin
deep and seems to have no effect
whatever on temperament.

Of years ago. who was now in SUI

Friendly and Direct.
He Is solidly built man of medi-
UNI height, with sandy hair, big fore
head and freckled face. He has one
of the widest, most mobile grins
imaginable. His manner is direct,
simple, friendly.
You get the sense from him that
he's very sure of himself and knows
his own worth. But his inf0rma1ity
and his modesty are intensely
genuine. He's the least stuffed
shirted general / ever met. All his
colleagues admire his enormous
tact. He had never had concrete
battle experience in the field till last
November, yet found himself ap-
pointed superior to veterans like
Alexander and Montgomery.
But he quickly proved himself a
real strategist with the final VIC
tory in Tunisia. Now he has won
not only the respect of his subordi-
mates but this affection. Though he
likes to call himself chairman of the
board, he is much more than that.
He is perfect co-ordinator, capable
of vigorous, decisive action. He is
very shrewd, as anyone can tell on
listening to his conversation, de-
spite his tremendous modesty. He
tries to keep in the background as
much as possible, always stresses
his responsibility to Washington and
London, and even refuses to let cor
respondents date-line anything as
from General Eisenhower Head

term '.Allied Headquarters.
Eisenhower went to the Philip
pines with Macarthur in February,

would strike us from Europe first.

"Alarmist Ike" He went to work
in the Third Army at San Antonio.
From there he was called to Wash
ington, after Pearl Harbor.
Eisenhower is as sound as can be
on the essential strategy of war and
speaks from experience of the COM
parative danger from the Germans
and the japanese. He knows we
must beat Germany first for the
most elemental reasons, and he is alb
solutely firm for Anglo-American
solidarity.

EISENHOWER in SICILY

went ashore on Sicily with Gen.
eral Eisenhower. The first landings
had taken place only 48 hours be-
fore, others we're still going on. We
had little information as to the prog
ress of the fighting, but soon it be-
came clear that the war was very
close.
An American cruiser was about
mile offshore. 1t began to bark.
First a flash, then crack, then q
whish of shell, finally the echo plung-
ing back from the drear Sicilian
hills.
The rate of firing increased, and
another officer, American, said:
'"They must be on to it now"
We saw fires quite near. I asked
an officer when the LuftWaffe had
been over this harbor. He replied:
Constantly"
Our destroyer had picked up four
German aviators from the water the
night before and brought them ia.
They had been on a life raft 90
hours. A British lieutenant, naked
to the waist and with shaggy black
beard, said: 'They were pretty
popped. We almost chucked one of
them over"

shown the prodigious display of war
ships steaming past. One German
said: 81 don't believe it. 1t can't
be true" He had swallowed whole
the Nazi propaganda that the British
Mediterranean feet had been sunk.
Eisenhower wanted to visit Sicily
as soon as possible after the inva-
sion, for several reasons: to confer
with Hewitt, Patton and his other
officers, to see for himself how
things were going, and particular
ly to salute the Canadians who were
associated with the British and
Americans in a big-scale operation
for the first time.
He stood on the deck and watched
the shore flow along beside us and in
conversation he constantly stressed
the Allied nature of this tremendous
operation, expressing his apprecia-
ton in the warmest terms Of the
Exquisite" coordination achieved
by all. He talked about how Cum
ningham, Alexander and Tedder,
each working perfectly on his own
sphere, assembled the whole ma
chine into action with consunmate
efficiency while he was only Chair
man of the Board"

Uncle Roy's Corner

When we had our series on the
days Of the week I made only .
short note about Sunday, saying
that its name came from "day Of
the SUM-" Quite q number Of read
ers have written me since then,
asking for complete article about
Sunday, to round out the stories
we had on the six weekdays from
Monday to Saturday.
So today we shall take up Sun
day, the first day OF the week. Tho
sun is the most important object
in the sky for people OF the earth,
and it Is little wonder that we
honor 1t In this manner.
The Old Testament Of the Bible
speaks Of Sunday as the first day
Of the week, but Saturday Is set
aside as the Sabbath day. One OF
the Ten Commandments named the
Sabbath, meaning Saturday, as the
day which should be kept holy.
The coming OF the Christian faith
brought change from Saturday to
Sunday as the holy day of the
week. Christian scholars give sew
eral reasons for that change.
Those who follow the Jewish re-
ligion still keep Saturday as the
Sabbath, counting the time from
Friday sunset to Saturday sunset.
A few branches of the Christian
church, including the Seventh Day
AdVentists, keep Saturday as a holy
day, but the great majority Of
Christians observe Sunday in this
way.
Constantine, a Roman emperor
who turned Christian, ordered that
the old day of the sun be a time
OF rest for people in cities, but
added that farmers could carry on
their work on Sunday the same
as on other days.
In England many laws about
Sunday have been made. In the
reign of Queen Elizabeth it was
ordered that any one who did not
go to church on Sunday must pay
fine of II pence.
A century later another English
law said that a person who car
ried on his trade on Sunday must
pay a fine of 5 shillings or else
spend two hours in the stocks.
Changes were made in the old
laws of England, and in 1871 an
act was passed giving up most of
the rules against trading on Sum-
day.
In English-speaking countries it
is common to speak of Sunday as
! the Sabbath. On the continent Of
Europe, however, the custom is to
call Sunday by a name meaning
the Lords day"
