VICTORY FLEET:
Production Doubled

More than 5000, 900 tons of mer-
chant shipping-double last years
output-will be produced in 1913,
President Roosevelt predicted at a
press conference during which U. S.
shipyards were praised by the Presi-
dent and by Adm. Emory S. Land,
chairman of the Maritime commits
sion, for their record-breaking per-
formances.
The 1912 goal of 5000, 900 tons was
surpassed by 90, 900 tons. At the end
of December merchant ships were
being built at a rate of IA, 400. 900 tons
a year, the President said. This
rate will continue to increase until
the peak is reached during May, at
which time shipyards will be pro-
ducing five ships a day, compared
with a rate Of four at present. Totals
do not include a number of ships
built for the armed forces.
When peak production for 1912 was
reached in December, 12l ships,
totaling 1888, 300 tons, were built.
During all of 194l only 95 ships,
totaling l,088, 900 tons. were pro-
duced.

Almost ALWAYS Yelled

In northern Africa the Moslem
woman of the city is almost always
yelled. The desert women 60 un-

somewhat reversed. The city wom-

more conservative villager and the
woman of the older generation still
cling to this ancient custom which
had its origin in pre-Islamic days
when morals in Arabia were low
and rough Bedouins from the desert
roamed through the cities and towns.

side-veiled their women from row.

1t had been Eunice's habit to read
the personal column in the morning
Sun every noon while eating her
sandwich and drinking her glass Of
milk at Ned's place. There was nc
particular reason for it. 1t was just
something to do during her lunch
hour. Personals always interested
her.
Eunice folded the paper neatly and
put it on the table. Tony. who al
ways brought Eunice her sand

when he cleared off her table-as
he had been doing every noon for
three years.
Eunice sat for a long time on this
particular day and stared at moth
ing. She was thinking OF Larry Nc
Nulty. to whom her engagement had
been announced a month ago. They
were to be married on Thanksgiving
eve, only three weeks away.
In a sense she had taken Larry at
his face value. That is to say. he
had come to Norton and had gone to
work for an insurance company, and
had chosen to offer no information
about where he had come from or
what he had done in the past.
He was. SO to speak, a sort
of mysterious person. Perhaps
it was this mystery that had in
trigued Eunice. She loved Larry
for what he was. not for what
he had been.
But now this! What in the
world could it mean? Who was
Rita, Pelton. N. Y? Who was
it who wanted to communicate
with Larry? From whom was
he hiding? Yes, he must be hid

nation for it.
Eunice felt a little i'll at thoughts

agonizing thought came another: He

NEW SPIRIT:
On Capitol Hill

Over were the colorful opening
sessions of the new 18th congress
and the national legislators had set
tied down to the tough job ahead.
Yet a new spirit-some observers
called it a spirit Of Independence
hung over Capitol Hill.
On the biggest objective of all
the winning Of the war-there was
unity between the two parties.
There, however, unity ended.

most of its home policies would no
doubt be forthcoming from the Dem
ecratic side of both houses but there
would be no quick write your own

brethren, the Democrats were in a

happen. Republicans had their eyes

THIS is the story of an old couch
L that became glamorous and
played a conspicuous part in a
charming sunny living room. The
Transformation started with a
heavy cotton twill fabric in a soft
tan tone to match the background
color of the hooked rug that you
see in front of the couch. 1t was
decided not to use any contrasting
trimming but to accent the clean
cut box-like edges outlining the
couch pad and cushions with a Sec
ond seam on the outside, as shown
at the right. Couch cover and
cushions used 9k yards of the So
inch-wide goods.
When the smartly tailored cover
was completed it was fastened
firmly in place with zippers of the
type that come apart at the bot
tom-one side being stitched to the
seam allowance of the cover and
the other sewn to the couch pad.

might be a fugitive. Impossible!
Larry, whatever else, wasn't a GRIM
inal.
But what could it mean? Eunice
struggled against a vague Fremont
ton Re- impending disaster. She tried
to t> ierself that there was another
Larry McNulty. But this was little
comfort. If she had only known
something of his past, where he came
from, his folks.
Eunice reused herself at last. The
time lacked five minutes of the end
of her lunch hour. She went out and
hurried to the dentists office where
she was employed as assistant. The
afternoon dragged. Tonight she'd
see him. She must find out
Eunice departed sharply at five
o'clock, following a rather unsatis-
factory afternoon for both the dem
fist and herself.
En- route to her apartment she
reached a decision. She couldn't
openly ask him. That would be-
tray a doubt. And not for a single
instant did she doubt Larry's love.
or her love for him. She was will
ing, despite all the hideous possibili-
ties that constantly and persistently
crowded into her mind, to take
him at face value. Yet, somehow,
she must know. She'd have to be
tactful. She'd have to hedge, beat
about the bush. But she'd have to
get it out of him-if for no better rea-
son than to satisfy her curiosity.
Larry, as usual, arrived
promptly at eight o'clock. He
was a tall youth, with fair hair
and blue eyes that constantly
twinkled, and made Eunice love
him more profoundly. On this
night he was in a jubilant mood.
He had received a raise at the
office. The boys were going to
throw a stag party in honor Of
his forthcoming marriage. He
had obtained tickets to the best
play in town to celebrate.
Eunice couldn't very well refuse
the theater. She'd have to postpone
her tactful inquiry until later. And
even later, when they were seated in
a dine and dance emporium, she had
difficulty in bringing herself to the
ordeal. But it had to be done. She

Larry grinned: "Oh, bother!

"But-but you must have some

is interested in you?"
Larry sobered instantly. MY

Eunice felt a curious feeling of
mixed pity and fear. All but one.
She struggled to keep her voice nom
chalant.
And hat one-who is she?"
She? What makes you think it's

Eunice'S eyes opened wide. There!

FOOD PRICES:
And Subsidies

Householders with low incomes
frozen for the duration, looked to
Washington for fur Their developments
on a reported program to allow food
prices to rise rather than to have
the government continue subsidies
to farmers.
This report indicated that such a
policy is gradually being put into ef-
feet and that subsidies will be con-
tinued only where necessary to keep
up farm production If SO, this pro-
gram represents a change from that
carried out under Leon Henderson
who even went around" congress
to reach his subsidy goal.
At one time he asked congress for
a half billion dollars to carry out a
subsidy plan and keep food prices
down. This was rejected and the
government began to use funds Of
the Commodity Credit corporation to
maintain temporary subsidies.
The new policy would have two
main detectives:
l. To keep down the national debt
by not allowing further subsidy pay
ments from the federal treasury,
and,
2. Would make consumers stand
their share in a price raise. ct is
argued that there is a great surplus
buying power evident among con-
sumers.)
But the householder whose income
is not from wal work and has not
been increased because Of the war
boom was caught %squarely in the
middle. He found nc comfort in the
fact that food prices had risen 16 per
cent in the year ending last October
and that in November they had risen
another 10 per cent. Later figures
were not available for him to fret
about.

AFRICA FIFTH ARMY:
Gen. Clark in Command

Another step in the organization
of huge Allied forces for the assault
or Tunis and Bizerte in North Africa
was made with the announcement
that the United States fifth army has
been activated and Lieut.. Gen. Mark
W. Clark placed in command of the
new force.
General Clark, 46, is the hero who,
travelling by submarine to North Al
RIGA three weeks before the Allied
landings, held a secret rendezvous
with French officers.
The announcement indicated that
a large United States army of sew
eral divisions has been organized
through its rank and is ready to fight
alongside Lieut.. Gen. K. A. N. An
derson's first army in Tunisia. The
1t may mean a force of as few as
two or three divisions, although it
may reach 10 or II divisions.
Meanwhile the United States army
air force struck strong blows in sup
port of French and American ground
forces in central Tunisia. Railroad
yards we're bombed at Kairouan and
other targets were smashed at Cheri-
chera, five miles northeast of
Foundouk.
Bad weather continued to keep the
opposing armies comparatively in
active in the north. Observers said
that French troops. with a complete
disregard for politics and ancient
equipment. are fighting with great
gallantry in central and southern
Tunisia.

SIGNIFICANCE:
OF Russia's Drive

While the world marveled at the
military might of the Russians which
was able to push the Nazis back all
along the battle front the full sig
%nifcance of this winter campaign
was overlooked by many. Should
the offensive maintain its momen-
tum of the early days of the new
year Hitler's troops faced the definite
prospect Of retiring to lines they held
in the last World war.
On both ends of the long fighting
front the Russians were scoring ma
jor triumphs. In the north. the vital
German-held supply base and rail
center of Velikie Luki had fallen to
the Soviet army. Velikie Luki is
only 200 miles from East Prussia.)
In this sector the big threat was to
the Nazis massed before Leningrad,
because if the Russians pushed be-
yond Velikie Luki toward that strong
hold all the Germans in the area
would be cut off from supplies. Fur
Their extending the picture, military
experts foresee the necessary evacu-
alton of Estonia and northern Latvia.
Results
But while much of this campaign
in the north was speculation, Rus
sian might had already dealt a series
of crushing blows to the Germans
massed in front of S%talingrad and
in the Caucasus. Success here came
as the result of a bold strategic move
on the part Of Josef Stain and Cen
eral Zhukoff. For when these Rus
sian leaders decided that Germany
had about spent her might in the all
out effort to capture Stalingrad they
nleashed a counter-offensiv direct
ly before the city. Soon they learned
that the Germans had few reserves
between the Volga and the Don riv-
ers. Thus the Russians took heart
and pushed westward toward the
all-important city Of Rostov.
Capture of Rostov would mean the
entrapment of a million Nazis in the
Caucasus. Hitler realized this and
started a general movement Of his
troops in that sector. But again the
Russians attacked and we're success
full in capturing many important
points while driving the Nazis ever
backward from their last years goal
the oil fields of Grozny and Baku.
