Instead the man who has trained

Schaeffer, a middle sized, middle

assured us that our hearing was
right on the beam. He said, When

What is a junior miss? Strictly
speaking, she's teen-age young
ster too old for the pinafore frocks
of the pigtail set and too young for
sophisticated styles. So, in most
stores throughout the land, she has
inherited her own department, with
fashions designed especially to fit
her figure and her highly definite
specifications.
More and more, however, styl-
lists have noted that mothers as
we'll as daughters have been haunt
ing the Junior miss department.
finding dresses there that seemed
to require fewer alterations than
the standard adult sizes
Recent government revelations re-
garding the measurements of the
mean woman" show that the av-
erage American woman is inclined
to be short and-well-plump. In
that case Junior miss sizes are right
up her alley. Since they are cut
slightly wider and shorter than re-
gular misses sizes, and now come in
simple. sophisticated adult styles as
well as the campus fashions de-
manded by teensters.
Miss Dorothy Anderson, execu-
tive director of the New York
Dress Institute, reveals that today
the dress industry regards a jun
ior" dress as size rather than an
age, and suggests that women who
find their alteration bills high try
their luck with Junior sizes.
This does not mean that teen
age girls are to be neglected. They
still have their own special, youth
full date dresses and school clothes.
But the Junior miss department
has been enlarged to include also
styles suitable to mothers and even
grandmothers who happen to have
Junior" size figures.
One important characteristic of
junior dresses is that they are
shorter in the measurement from
neck to awaist than regular misses
or women's sizes. Women who al
ways have to have the waistline of
ready made dress raised may find
a perfect fit in the Junior de-
partment.
This budgeted spring it is more
important than ever to avoid ex-
penSive alterations whenever pos
sible, so stylists urge women who
are hard to fit in regular sizes
to have whirl at the Junior de-
partment.

Came|s Join Jeeps
In Desert Warfare

WASHINGTON = Camels are
taking their place along with high
speed trucks and jeeps in modern
desert warfare. If properly cared
for, says report to the Office of
War Information, they outlast mo-
tor vehicles b ymany years, their
average life being IS years Most
British camels come from the Pun
jab, India, and are put into active
service, after special training, at the
age of six.
? A camel can do the work of four
army mules, and four of the ami
mails have the pulling strength of
a truck. They are far less liable
to injury than a horse, a mule or
even motor truck, and can take
loads to lot of places no motor
could go.

and of these, 1,6l2257 were en-
ployed exclusively in producing and
carrying on for the war effort. That
leaves a few more than a million
to perform the civilian and war
contingent activities of the govern
ment.
To white that down to any APP
probable extent would be a po-
litical bull's-eye if anyone could
come near the target, but it's a
question whether anyone will seri-
ously try. t
In the first place, the tremen-
cous amount of government hiring
about which there has been so
much talk is mostly replacement.
For example, Harry 3. Mitchell,
president of the Civil Service Com
mission, in outlining the increased
work of his department, said: Dur
ing the six months ending January,
194l, the commission found about
100000 persons for the war and
navy departments; and during the
last six months of 1912, we made
slightly over million replace
ments in these departments. That
does not mean million new jobs
as the turnover in these days is very
large"
! In the second place, civil service
employees have given such an &C.
count of themselves in all major
crises that any criticism of them
would be showed under. =.
To cite one instance, James E.
Burns, president of the American
Federation of Government En-
ployes, recently put on the record
quotes from lately published
book, Public Plumber by David
10th. According to Mr. 10th, in
come tax figures showed that

employe of the government.
Sum it up for yourself. Anyone
who has been around Washington
will tell you that there are seat
warmers and brass-hats whose
heads are too big for their haloes.
They're right. but until better
system is devised than civil SER
vice, it will have to do. And good
many members of Congress think
it's so good that they are trying to
extend it-not curtail it nor find
something new.

are making money out of war in
dustries threatens the success of
the l943 Food for Victory cam
paign in some sections of the
country.
Uncle Sam is calling for maxi
mum production of food to help
win the war. A city man buying
a. farm frequently doesn't produce
from it as much food as did the
farmer who sold it. Many absen-
tee owners acquire farms for long
term Investment, or with the in
tention of living on a plot Of land
where they can grow part Of their
own food needs. Production for the
market often. becomes a sideline.
Agricultural agents in counties
where land purchases are heavier
than usual are worried about the
number of Chicagoans, Detroiters,
Clevelanders and jewellers of
other industrial centers who are
buying farms. Many of these are
security seekers" persons who
say they want to have something
left after the postwar depression
Experienced Men Retiring
The agents say these purchases
mean that some of the most ex-
perienced farmers are retiring
from farming. They fear that the
production on these farms may
| be sharply reduced. Even in cases
where the new owners would like
to keep up production, there is the
problem of finding managers to
run the farms, not to mention the
shortage of farm labor.
The farm-buying movement by
city people is most pronounced in
the north central states. Reports
to the Department of Agriculture
show that in Illinois, during the
period from July l to November !
last, only 81 percent of the, buyers
were farmers. In the North Cen
trail region the proportions of far
mers buying with intention to OPP
crate was SO percent.
So far, however, the increase
in the number of amateur farmers
is not on a scale to imperil seri-
ously the national goals of food
production. Agriculture authorities
here point out that in the country
as a whole there was decrease in
farm sales activity in the July l
to November l period. Volume of
land transfers was running about
10 to Is percent below the l941
| levels. au
Draft Boards Help
| Furthermore, on a nationwide
basis, farmers have been buying
much more, land than they have
been selling. In the northern plains
region farmers have been buying
about 10 times as much land as
they have been selling, and even
in the North Central region the
ratio of buying to selling by far
mers has been more than to l.
A good deal of this has been buy
ing from Farm Security Admins
tration holding companies.
On the bright side of the food
! production picture also is the new
cooperation between Selectiye Ser
vice boards and county war boards
which fix crop quotas. An essen
tial farmer" now is as much en-
titled to deferment from military
service as an essential war work.

the approval of the Quarter
master Generals office, our war
dogs no longer be referred to as
pups, pooches, tikes or ways, nor
may they be labeled dobermans,

This, they explain, is as grave
a mistake as referring to Pvt.
Flaherty, as black Irishman, or
calling Pvt. Janowski a big Pol

for both men and dogs denote

no difference. They are all good

]. Forest Walker of Gathers
burg, tells US that the home of
Charles Saffell, the old soldier
who was musician in the Revo-
lutionary War, is now a part of
his farm-that his grandfather,
Nathan ]. Walker bought it
when Forest was a small boy.
We will tell you more about that
later.
Trying to locate the old Saffell
place on the atlas of 1879, we
noticed that Nathan J. Walker
was large landowner at that
time-so we looked up his biogra-
ply in the 9Th Congressional Dis
trict Record. From it we learn
that:
Nathan j. Walker, who is en-
gagged in farming near Gathers
burg, (this was 1898, remember)
was born October 81, 1924, near
what is now Browningsville, near
Damascus, upon a farm that is
now owned by his brother, G. W.
Walker. Mr.. Walkers father,
George Bryan Walker was born
in 1899, devoted his entire life
to farming, and died in 1860.
George B. Walker married Mar
garet Boyer-there were five chill
dren, namely, Sarah A., who
married William Glaze of Fred
erick County; Nathan j.; William
r., who died on his farm in Fred
erick County; George W., who
resides on the old homestead, and
Mary, wife of Albert Miles, of
Howard County.
Now if Forest Walker doesn't
find himself a new batch of
cousins from this account, we
miss our guess. Well, we will

take him back another genera
ton:
George Bryan Walkers father
was the George Walker who
served in the war of the Revolu-
ton. He married a Miss Bryan
and settled near Damascus where
he lived until his death.
To come back to Nathan j.,
who was Forest Walkers grand
father,-he was educated in the
county schools, the nearest of
which was three miles away.
From an early age he helped his
father on the farm, thus gaining
an adequate knowledge of farm
ing.
On July 81, 1848 Nathan j.
Walker married Evalina, daugh-
ter of John B. King. (Here is
where Forest finds himself kin
to 300 Kings). They had IL chill
dren, all but one were living in
1898. They were John w., who
was County Commissioner at that
time; George Edward, James K,
Nathan A., all on farms adjoining
their fathers; Charles W. en-
gagged in farming near Atlanta,
Ga, Crittenden H. carrying on a
farm near Laytonsville; McKen-
dree at home with his parents.
The girls were: Amanda E.,
wife of Nathan II. Darby; Eva
line R., wife of C. H. Brown
ing; Miriam, widow of William
Carlisle, with her two children
then living with the Nathan
Walkers; one girl, Margaret Je-
NINA died in infancy.
At the time Mr.. Walker bought
the farm he lived on, it contained
100 acres, he added to it until
1898 he owned $50 acres around
it, all in good state of cultiva-
ton. In 1877 he built the mill
on Milestone Branch.
Nathan ]. Walker was a great
temperance" man, and he prac-
ticed what he preached, for he
claimed that he never tasted a
drop of liquor or smoked cigar
in his life.
