Prices

TO avoid a situation such as de-
veloped recently in Washington.
One week, he said, there were
screaming headlines here that
there was no meat TO be had and
shortly after there were scream
ing headlines that there was SO
much meat il was spelling.
Mr. Roosevelt said he thought
everyone should avoid over
playing either scarcity or plenty
because that is not good for pub
lie morale We will have trou-
BILE, he said, if the public stops
buying all at one time or tries
all 10 buy al the same time.
After declaring that probably
dollars and cents price ceilings
would be placed on foods. the
President was asked whether
that would extend TO things in
department stores.
His reply was that the things
department stores handle are not
al cuiOlcS.
Questioned as to whether the
control would extend to clothing,
he remarked there is no present
need of clothing and then, amid
burst of laughter. amended his
statement TO say there was no
need of putting ceiling on
clothing.
Under the plan the OPA is
working on, ByrneS related, il
will be possible for the purchas-
er to see the ceiling price in the
store on the article he wants to
buy and the prices will appear in
advertising. The housewives. he
said, will have TO do the police
work.

vegetables affect the cost of liv-
ing and SO will be brought UNI

vegetables might be omitted, he
remarked.

MAINTAIN RESERVES
Though il obviously is I'M
likely that there ever would be
ar oll-out combat with the whole
massed 200 Nazi divisions, there
is increasing evidence that the
Germans are maintaining strate-
glc reserves in central locations
such as South Germany, Aus
tria and Bohemia prepared to
rush to the Balkans if the allies
land there, to Italy i'll the event
that Italy is invaded, to France,
Norway or elsewhere.
BY the maintenance Of central
reserves, Germany not only is
able to shift troop speedily
along interior lines, but also is
able TO divert them to several
fronts IT need be.
On the other hand, the posi-
bility remains that allied air
power may smash up Germany
TO such an extent that il no
longer can maintain the Wehr-
macht fighting strength, or that
the Red army may begin new
offensive simultaneous with al
lied landings.

Further, the 1000 hospitals in

Frills in the hospital must go.

her into the duty.
Rough Juggling on a she'll hat
band jerked him out Of his trance
and made him notice that, while he
held one end Of it, a second inter-
ested and extremely determined
customer held the other end. Rusty
wanted TO yank 1t from the grimy-
faced defense worker, without
meeting resistance, certainly with
out apology.
He was not accustomed to bar
gain basement battle. All Of a sud-
den it dawned on him that he ex-
pected the shell hatband simply be-
cause he was Restwick Carnes. He
released it so quickly that It few

other customers wrist in a small
tangle like a coiled snake. A pic
ture of Choppo came into Rusty's
mind.
He said, mo hard feelings, pal.
It's all yours" took a grimy-faced
smile Of thanks from the victor,
and walked out Of the shop.
He walked. loaded with odd
shaped packages, toward the bank
that his own grandfather had es-
tablished. Still, he felt the same re-
luctance. As It was, everyone in
that cold stone edihce considered
him barely short Of insane. For
years their comments had annoyed
him to such an extent that he had
become adept at looking right
through them, even though they
met chest-to-chest on one Of the
narrow downtown sidewalks.
Perhaps if his father were still
alive he would make more of an at
tempt to hide amused contempt. AS
it was, he took pleasure in har-
assing his many uncles and cousins.
Rusty grinned, then sobered. This
was a little worse than usual. They
would pounce on him concerning
his impulsive marriage. Then when
they learned he wanted to arrange
financial settlement on his ex-
fiancee they really would make the
rafters ring with their wrath. He
slapped viciously at a hibiscus
hedge in front OF the bank and ran
quickly up the steps.
He knew it was Eugenia, even
though her back was toward him.
Undecided what to do, he finally
walked TO her and touched her arm.
She whirled. Her brown eyes Wild
ened; her mouth parted in what
Rusty took to be excitement over
seeing him. His throat began to
ache just looking at her. She was
so lovely in her green linen dress
and white sport coat, her hair a
silver-gold name, here eyes almost
fearful.
The bank clerk was saying, Per

Jiro kept right on smiling and
bowling. In fact, he was smiling and
bowling after Restwick Carnes'
taxi had gone on down the street.
Then he Strengthened. The smile left
his face. He walked on into the
shop.
Instead Of riding 10 the doors Of
the Carnes Trust company, Rusty
asked to be let out near the Ha-
waiian Electric building.
Need some exercise" he ex-
planned. Actually he wanted a short
walk to settle mis- nerves.
Perched on the Electric building
were reindeer heads made of card
board, touched with glitter. They
swung back and forth, tinkling.
Silly things, thought Rusty, swing
ing there in tropical sunshine as if
they were at the North Pole. But
he smiled and walked on toward
his destination.
Along the old-fashioned narrow
sidewalks, past shops that were
scarcely more than a wide aisle in
building, the man sauntered. He
noticed japanese shirtmakers

There were cold drink stands. And
women's stalls filed with embroid-

with pictures, drums, feather goods
and shells.

into one Of the cheap gift shops.
He bought braided purse Of isu-

tadpole. He also bought a three
