ears hung perilously on the brink OF
his lips. It took him half the morn
ing to sober his spirits to working
conditions.
Corporal Can't has been in the
Army exactly four months. He had
been an acting corporal for three
weeks before he got his stripes.
Heaven grant him strength for
the ordeal ahead.
The term ''buck private" was ex-
planned to us this afternoon. 1t re-
fers to the Old Army Game, pass
ing the buck" The sergeant is first
called on the carpet for mistake
in his platoon. The sergeant seeks
out the corporal and gives him a
dressing-down. The corporal passes
the buck by scalding the ears OF the
private. The private doesn't even
have mule to kick, so he can't pass
the buck any farther. He keeps it.
That makes him buck private.
The Army, I find, has many subtle
ways to trap the unwary into vol
unteering for work. First there was
the sergeant over at the Reception
Center who came through the recre-
alton hall one afternoon calling for
"Private Smith," Four men an
swered. All four were put to work
picking up cigarette stubs.
On the call, Anybody in here
know how to handle a truck?" don't
speak up. The last three were seen
later pushing a hand truck up the
battery street to haul rifle racks.
Corporal Henry Ussery is to date
the most dangerous conscriptor. This
week he came into the squadroom
to ask if anyone was good at short
hand. Three citizen-soldiers admit
ted that they were.

Even if the great manufacturers had possessed
all this new knowledge in their research depart
ments, they could not have turned out such car.
To have done so would have involved retooling their
entire plants which would have made the cost of
the new product prohibitive.
Furthermore it would have required junking
and remakng the plants that produce many of the
materials for the cars Last, and perhaps not
least the strange, new apparition would have been
too much shock to the purchasing public which
would have thought it over a year or two, during
which manufacturers and statesmen would have

Kid gloves, a warm heart and in fine understanding are the neces- sary implements with which to keep our industrial workers at the grind, according to Capt. A, A. Nicholson of New York, when he spoke to members of the Industrial Forenien's s Club at a meeting last night at the Women's Club Auditorium. He pointed out that industrial super. visors must develop the proper man. power before they can expect bet- ter results from mechanical para phernalia.
 Then Capt. Nicholson went on to say that production in American Is from free men and not from the soldierized factory workers that operate in the Axis quarters. He too pointed out that the fighting front depends on the home production front.
