The great American habit Of
armchair" shopping is out for
the duration. Curtaillnent Of I'M
necessary deliveries, restrictions
on G. o. D. buying, elimination
of call-backs and special trips are
rapidly converting it to 'armful
shopping .....
Women in many sections Of the
country have already learned how
to use a shopping bag. During the
coming months, its use should be-
came almost universal.
Why this emphasis on carrying
all the packages possible? Simply
this: every bundle carried helps
save a delivery truck. It may be
true, of course, that the truck Is
going to a particular section on
an essential delivery anyhow. De.
livering one small bundle may not
involve extra mileage in that case.
Nevertheless, carryable packages
ordered delivered are potential
mileage MASTERS, since collectively
they cause hundreds Of unneces-
sary trips.
Truck Mileage
The Office Of Defense Trans
portation has asked this year for
q 40 percent cut in total truck
mileage, is per cent more than
was asked in 1912. A large slice
Of this must come from delivery
services. Stores maintaining this
service must cut mileage, but they
want to continue full delivery
service to the consumer on all
merchandise that must be trucked
Unless women cooperate by carry
ing small packages, toting bundles
they can manage without undue
strain, planning their shopping so
that all heavy, bulky articles can
be delivered to their respective
neighborhoods in one trip; there
may come a time when all de-
liveries will be eliminated or cut
to inconvenient periods. Taking
the attitude that "just this once
won't matter" is dangerous. Men
tally roll "a SNOWFALL Of unneces-
sary deliveries across the country
and it becomes apparent that
thousands of truck-lives are
shortened by individual thought
lessness. -

STRAND

Today and tomorrow will be your
last opportunity to see Mickey
Rooney in candy Hardy's Double
Life, now at the Strand Theater.
The Hardy family gets together
again to send Andy to college, and
Mickey gets into comical complica-
tions galore before he is more or less
safely on the archaeological to see
that pretty coed from the same
college is on board.
The story deals with the three
dilemmas for Andy before his de-
parture for college. He sells his
jallopy to a pal, who damages a
greenhouse with it, and Andy is held
responsible as owner. Then a pretty
girl makes fuss over him, and in
Sists that his romantical behavior
means a proposal of marriage.
Although his father wants to 60 to
college with him and introduce him
to some Of his friends, who also in
cludes the president of the school,,
which Andy knows would make him
an "outcast" with the fellows and
he hates to tell his father that.
His difficulties are ironed out
amid laughter, some human interest
moments, and an inspiring man
to man" talk with his father.
Mickey plays the role with infect
ious humor and Lewis Stone as Judge
Hardy Is inspiring. Fay Holden as
ma Hardy, Cecilia Parker as Sis
ter Marion, and Sara Haden as
Aunt Milly, adds to the htmor, and
contributes human interest. A new
charmer Is introduced in Esther
williams, famous as a swimming
champion, who is beautiful and ar
accomplished actress. William
Lundigan is convincing as Marion''
sweetheart, and Ann Rutherford
adds piquany as Polly Benidict
Andy's permanent girl friend. Rob-
bert Pittard plays Betsy, who buys
the jolloppy.
The second big hit on the program
Is "War Against Mrs. Hadley" with
Fay Banter and Edward Arnold.
