A SIMPLE SUBSTITUTE
(Boston PoSt)

(bOSCOn EOSD
 An example of the ingenuity of the American scientists and en- gineers seeking short cuts to pro- duction for winning the war is con- tained in the announcement of Westinghouse Electric that spag- hetti, uncooked. but otherwise the same as you eat, is being used to speed manufacture of electronic tubes for war communications. A stick of spaghetti is substituted for 8 steel rod placed inside a tiny wire coil while the coil is being welded, and the spaghetti then is burned out with an electric curernt. The stel rod was difficult to remove but the spaghetti is burned out in a flash. The resultant saving in time, manpower and materials, permits an increase of 50 per cent more fila ments. It is Yankee trait to utilize the simpler easier things as substi- tutes for those more complex.

UTAMIN A AND THE SKIN

If any vitamin Is especially essen- tial to keep the skin healthy and the complexion good 1t is, in my opinion, ribof1avin, formerly known as Htamin G. Richest natural food source of riboflavin, girls, Is milk. every day. It is famous for keeping Better polish oil your three pints a good complexion. And for health's sake and good looks don't worry about all the calories in milk. Three pints of milk will yield less than a thousand calories, and 5000 calories day is only moderate maintenance allowance for live woman.
 Ribofiavin is equally essential for prevention of premature wrinkles in the skin. So girls who are get- ting along past forty, even 8 long way past forty, should knock of quart day, anyway, and if the outlook seems unduly dark and gloomy maybe what they need is a nip of iodine-a great many people who do not happen to live where the soil, food and water con- tains enough iodine would be hap pier about the situation if they would take a nip of iodine now and then. If you don't know how to go about it, write or Doc Brady. inclosing a stamped envelope bear ing your address, and ask for 1n- structions for Taking an Iodin Ra- tion-but don't send a clipping of this item-if you do you'll be out of luck. The old geezer is pretty peevish about that.
 Vitamin A, great gobs of 1t, seems to be remarkably beneficial in many cases of fish skin Cchthyosis). toadskin, nutmeg grater appearance and feel of the skin, chronic or or permanent "goosepimples" and . fine papular rash over large sur- faces of skin variously called by physicians such alarming names as keratosis pilaris, lichen pilaris, lichen spinulosis. ichthyosis follicu- laris.
 An optimal intake of Htamin A daily over period of several months - meaning several times more than may be required to nain- tain food nutrition and health is equally beneficial in many cases of xeroderma-huh there go -xeroderma is extreme dryness of the skin, and when thet skin is in that condition it is irritable and itchy and it never looks as nice as you know 1t should.
 Milk, cream and butter, by the way, are the best food source of vitamin A. But you can hardly consume enough of these, or other natural foods, to get the amount of vitamin A you should take for any of these skin troubles Best plan is to take one 25,000-unit cap- sule of vitamin A, natural vitamin A, not carotent (which requires conversion into vitamin A in the liver, if you are able to convert it) after food three times a day for a month. After that one such capsule daily for the next several months.

AS the former giant ship Normandie, now called the Lafayette, rights itslef in it's niche along the Hudson river the crowd watches while it hears the correct angle. The final recaptiuiation of the boat is scheduled for some time in the distant future. In the time, almost, that it is taking to salvage the boat, new one could be built. That is true, but it did not seem advisable, apparently, to scrap it, after the damage was done.

 The number who have land on which to raise steer is relatively small, of course. But can you think of any good reason why Jim White, who has couple of acres of grass shouldn't raise his own calf, kill it or have it killed, and eat the meat, if he wants to do so?
 Neither can we. The OPA can, though. The OPA has imagination

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
 CamphOr Water

Druggist doesn't know what carn- phar water means-it is one of the ingredients in a lotion you gave for enlarged pores, blackheads and ex- cessively oily skin. (Mrs. c. WD

Vinegar

Nine year old boy who plays with my son has the habit of drinking vinegar by the glass. (K. B. H.>
 Answer-It is likely to produce cirrhosis of the liver or Bright's dis ease of the kidneys or both. Even the proper use of vinegar as a con- diment is less healthful than similar use of lemon juice. Vinegar (dilute acetic acid) cannot be oxidized or utilized in the body, or only to a limited degree, and is therefore rather poison; citric acid (of cit- rus fruits), however, is readily axi- dized in the body, is therefore a food.

 arMeasure

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Brig Gen. Walter Pyron, of the War Department, petroleum expert, told the Senate Truman Committee that military necessity dictated the de- cision to go ahead with the $780, 100000 Canol project.
 Tn the darks days of 1922" the witness said, there was no assur- ance that we could protect the movement of petroleum to our troops in Alaska, and we would have been left with our defenses tied down to a source of supply from California" !"
 Gen. Pyron testified before the Truman Committee now investigat- ing the much discussed Canadian oil undertaking, which has been under fire from Secretary of the Interior and Fuel Administrator Harold Ickes and other government leaders. The project consists of wells at Fort Norman. and a refinery at White horse, as well as a pipeline linking the two.

Stern Policy
 Toward Nazis
 Is Demanded

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov. 26.. - European delegates to the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, who have been fighting here as solid block for a stern policy toward Germany, won two major points.
 They succeeded in delaying the action on the proposal to use UNRRA funds to return to Ger many those Germans in other lands at the end of the war, and defeat- ed the amendment whereby the Germans pay only Ito the fullest possible extent" instead of all costs for relief operations in their coun- try.
 The argument over the first is- sue was highlighted by the dra- matic address by Yugoslav Min ister Fotitch, who described how the Germans entered his country and drove the people from their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs. He wanted the Ger mans accorded the same treatment.
 The committee decided to iron out the matter at a special session of the UNRRA council to be called ill few months or in the event of sudden crack of the Axis, to let it go over to the Peace Confer ence. -

FOUR INJURED
 AZ TRUCK HITS
 BUS ON HIGHWAY

As the result of a head-on colli- sion of a pickup truck and the Aux Bay bus on Thanksgiving even- ing, Reuben Johnson, Victor John- son and the latter's small son, Vic tor Johnson, Jr., are all in St. Ann's Hospital, receiving treatment for serious wounds and cuts.
 The accident occurred at six o'clock last night when the out going bus, driven by Al Ellenberg, and the small truck, enroute to Ju- neau, collided on the Juneau side of the approach to Vanderbilt Hill. Vic Johnson was driving the truck.
 One bus passenger, Miss Mildred Kendler, daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Joe Kendler, an employee of the Signal Corps, was thrown forward by the impact and received a sprained wrist Quick action on the part of Ellenberg prevented her be- ing thrown through the windshield.
 When Ellenberg, the only per- son involved in the accident not to be hurt, stepped from the bus, he found Rueben Johnson lying un- conscious in the middle of the road, where he had been thrown by the impact.
 He had received severe cuts about his head, which required that several stitches be taken later
 Victor Johnson. still in the cab, was also unconscious. In addition to grave decorations, he was also injured in the legs and knees.
 His son, about seven years old, was conscious, although, he too, had been badly cut about the face and body
 Two army trucks driven by Lee Lucas and Cpl. Namik, passing by, brought the injured to St. Ann's Hospital and notified Emmett Botelho, highway patrolman, who rushed to the scene of the acci- dent.
 Neither the bus nor the truck was able to return to Juneau, but were brought to the city by wreck ing cars.
 Pleated like an accordian, the hood and engine of the Information al red truck was folded back to the dashboard, and the back of the cab was smashed forward to the back of the seat by the impact. Glass in the truck was shattered,
 The bus headlights were smashed, the bumper torn off, the hood wrinkled and the front of the en- zine smashed.
 Dr. w. M Whitehead treated the injured and took the necessary stitches required for the numer- ous cuts they each received

 Thousands are said to be still trapped beneath debris with little chance of their being dug out alive.

Weather Forecasts
Are Now Allowed

WASHINGTON, Oct. l2.-tUP)-
Virtually all publishing and broad
casting rstrictions on weather fore
casts were removed today in an
other move strengthening indica-
ton that far of large-scale enemy
attacks on the United States is
diminishing.
Effective at midnight last night
newspapers were authorized by the
office of censorship for the first
time since the war began to pub
lish any weather information they
wish except unofficial forecasts.
Heretofore they have been allowed
only to print weather news of their
own localities.
Censorship director Byron Price
said the move was prompted by
improved defense and other war
conditions" and added that OOC
was reviewing other sections of the
press and broadcasting codes with
view to further relaxation.

Editorials and Comment
THE new CONSERVATIVES

(Frederck Nj. Davenport, Chairman OF
the u. s. Council of Personnel Admins
tration)
There is happily developing in this
country strong conservative force
against economic imbalance, namely, the
Government bondholder. An accurate
student of the volume of bondholding in
this country estimates that there will be
fifty million owners of Government Sc
curities at the end of the war. There has
been nothing like it in the world before.
You may add to it the millions more Of
insurance policy holders and you have
altogether a new, modern, conservative
force that is likely to favor reasonable
economic caution, and desire to take
advantage of what the Lord has deliver
ed into our hands in the way of produc-
tive increase during this war. These
people are all voters, and you would
think them likely to follow the trend of
the common good the trend of using
these amazing new productive facilities
in the interest of lower prices and lower
costs, with a rising standard of living

CHlNA'S REBUFF TO JAPAN

New York Times1
Official news that Japan is making
peace overtureS to the nation she first
attacked and plundered comes from I.
V. Soong, China's foreign minister. IN
deed the Tokyo government has been
bombarding Chungking with peace of
fers, the first arriving shortly after the
attack on Pearl Harbor. Since then the
japanese have raised the ante with each
successive offer, until now they prom
ise' to vacate all China territory except
Formosa and Manchukuo.
The basic pattern of each offer is the
same. For China the price of peace
would be more war-on Japan's side. She
would have to pledge herself to join
Japan in a racial war against the
white nations, with, of course, the shin
ing but temporary exception of Ger
many. So Japan, which, before betray
ing us at Pearl Harbor, assduously be-
sought the United States to betray China,
now, finding herself outmatched in the
long test of world struggle begs China
to betray her allies.
China is no turncoat. Her answer to
such offers is that she will accept no
terms from Japan except unconditional
surrender Thus far she is the only ma
ton to receive peace proposals. But
she will not be the last. AS the war goes
on, Japan is certain to try to copy Hit
lers strategy and touse the wiles of
diplomacy in an effort to divide the ma
tions which are bent on her destruction
as a military power.

CONCENTRATING ON QUALITY

The war department has built up it's
officer personnel now to the point where
it is becoming very choosy about candi-
dates for commissions More than 206,-
600 men have been graduated to their
gold bars (they used to be called shave
tails in the old days. and have started
working their ways upward.
This means that fewer enlisted men
are being sent to train for commissions.
But the way to promotion is not fore
closed Good men in the ranks still
can apply for officerhood with reason
able hope of success. The only change is
that their personalities and characters,
their educations and experience, their
demonstrated devotion to duty and moral,
intellectual and physical courage, will be
Judged much more strictly than hereto
fore
