WASHINGTON brass ring
goes not to one man but to $4,000
men and women. They are MEM
beers of the Civil Air Patrol who
have been fighting the war in lit
tie single motor planes flying with
in the boundaries of the United
States, and who carry the torch for
the future of civil aviation in this
country.
How long they will be allowed
to carry that torch is the impor-
tant question At present they are
orphans of the storm = carrying
military responsibilities without mil
itary standing. They fight sub
marines, but they had to fight for
weapons first The Army and WPB
are slowly throttling them by re-
fusing new equipment or repair
parts. Thus in order to keep their
gradually deteriorating machines
going. the Civil Air Patrol is al
most certain to be swallowed by
the Army.
The Army has been wanting to
take over because civilian filters in
wartime are considered a nuisance
nv the military-with justification
in some cases.

WASHINGTON. March l9--Ai-
lied offensive action against Japan

The reason for this rumor are
many.
The President limited at it IN his
recent speech. Madame Chang Kali
Shek has had her say here and
the weight of it is important. Quad

TO our down under ally The sue
cess of those two ventures did not
really bring us any closer to Japan.
If we are to strike at the heart
Of the Rising Sun, it will have to
be from China (since Russia has
not declared war against Japan and
is too busily occupied in the west
even to think about it now
Granting that much, the con-
clusion is inevitable that the back
door supply route must be reopened.
That means Burma Reports OF feel
er activities in that area further
bear this out. Look for something
important there as soon as the
rainy season is over.

WPB Promises "Longies"
Cotton Ones) For Winter
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 26 Don't
worry about your long winter under
wear this year, because WPB has
already taken steps to assure the
men, women and children of Amer
lea that there will be plantyof cot
ton yarn on nand for mills to
weave into winter ''undies.'
A directive will soon be issued
ordering cotton yarn mills to sup
ply enough material to manufac-
turers to weave into enough
undershirts, pants and union suits
for all civilians.
SALVAGE SYRETTE
The paratroops over Sicily, the
shock troops who landed at New
Georgia island, sailors aboard our
fighting feet in the Pacific are all
equipped with little individual
hypodermic syringes called syrettes.
That they have them is due, in part
to the housewives of America. The
syrette holds one injection of NOR
prime that can be self administered,
The morphine is contained in a
tube made from tin reclaimed from
two tin cans off your family pantry
shelf.
REEFING THE REFERS

In women's wear, WPB will soon

destined for feminine wear must be

SEEDLESS LINES
PUT ON MARKET
UnratiOned Aids for AIDES
Arriving in Quantity for
Summer Drinks

Marketed in quantity for the first
time last year as the answer to the
War-created shortage of imported
fruit, Florida's seedless lines are
arriving in volume for summer
drinks and desserts for tWo-month
stay on the unrationed list.
The large, glossy fruit which is
green when ripe and ripe when
green" is now subject to the same
maturity laws which affect all Flori-
oa-groWn citrus. The State Legis-
lature has recently passed two bills
governing the inspection of lines
and all fruit must measure up to
maturity and juice content stand
ards before it can be shipped out
of the state.
Zestful and Refreshing
July and August are the peak
months for this zestful, refreshing
fruit which seems to have been de-
signed by nature to be the most
plentiful at the very time we are
most in need of TALL COOL health
giving drinks.
Pretty as picture hat and cool
ing as a palm leaf fan, limeades,
rickies, and cola drinks will soon be
making their appearance from the
Atlantic seaboard to the Mississippi
with fresh lime pies, lime sherbet,
fruit salads with lime juice dressing,
and many other exotic-Florida fav-
orites for the summer season.
Needs Less Sugar
Like all citrus fruits lines are
cource of vitamin A and C and be-
cause of their delicate flavor they
require less sugar than lemon or
other tart summer drinks, making
them a wartime choice for aides,
punches, frosted drinks, and coolers.
Aas a garnish fresh Florida lines
are more than trimming, adding
tangy flavor and an auro of tropical
splendor to everything with which
they are served. A wedge of lime
with iced tea makes this familiar
summer drink something to be serv-
ed on a palm-shaded verandah;
fresh Florida lime juice gives Fri-
days fish a new air, and does re-
markable flavorsome things to cook
ed vegetables. Squeeze lime juice on
chilled melon, and by all means add
slice or two of lime when you
stew prunes.
Here are just a few of the tangy
and strictly-fo summer tricks which
can be accomplished now that
Florida lines are in the market

THE MAP
CHAPTER XVIII

Lincoln realized that these people,
toWn-bred would know as little
about the wilderness trails as col
ored boy, brought up on the Har-
lem pavement, would know about
how to catch 'possum in the
Georgia swamps. And then, gath
cred around a large billy-pot, dip
ping their hands wrist-deep into the
stew of meat and vegetables, greed
lily, noisily eating and belching, he
saw a group of plum colored, splay-
Tipped Yorubas-men of the farther
jungle.
He stopped, with a courteous:
"Salaam aleykoom!'
They rose. They smiled with
a flash of white, filled teeth, bowed,
and spoke, in polite reply, the
ritual, tribal response:
"Imbose!"
"Umbois"
"Kiay'yo"
"Ingafo!"
the different words, meaning goat,
dog, leopard and lion, represent
ing the sacred totem of each in
dividual Pagan totems that would
shock a good-therefore intolerant
and narrow minded - Moslem to
the core.
So Lincoln frowned his dis
approval. But he was amused.
Islam here - he reflected - was
the thinnest veneer. Indeed so
thin that, a few moments later,
suddenly, it cracked cracked
at his mere mention of the clear
ing called the Meeting of the
Elephants
Il would like" he said, ito hire
guide to axe me there ="
mo, no, mol" cried one of the
Yorubas. I'VE - oh we cannot"
II shall pay you we'll :"
mo, no, no, no!' the Negro
cried again, almost Historically.
The others chimed in with a
tremulous chorus:
I'VE have never heard of It'll"
mo, no. no, no :"
They stood there trembling.
Their eyeballs rolled in an agony
of dismay and panic They
glanced over their shoulders as if
afraid of some especially terrible
and vindictive, heathenish juju.
They spat left and right and
snapped their fingers rapidly to
guard against evil spirits, and
Lincoln wondered what it was all
about.
"Of course you know he ex-
claimed, where the clearing is
It's near Lake Tchad."
And then one of the men said,
amazingly:
eve have never heard of Lake
Tchad.'
Lincoln did not believe his
ears.
1t was like an Alamaba field
hand declaring he had never
heard of the Mississippi.
What - he asked himself - lay
in back of this statement, so child
ish and so dreadfully sincere?
He knew quite a little about
totems and fetishes and tribal
tabus; was aware that these tabus
affected only things which were
above their primitive intelligence
unknown things, in other words.
And Lake Tchad why-it was
close to their home kraals and
cattlefolds. Its waters gave fer
tility to their fields and manioc
paintings
So why this shuddering secret
iveness?
He puzzled; then all at once
understood. He understood, by
the same token, the aura of fear
and superstition wit which the
hykmoot amezee, the Man of Mys-
terry, had succeeded in surrounding
himself.
The latter - thought Lincoln,
and, later on, he found out that

Do good tournament players make
good rubber bridge players? No,
not always. AS a matter OF fact, I
know several fine tournament play
ers who are consistent losers at
rubber bridge. A group of us dis
cussed this recently and I dug out
the hand shown today to bring out
my point.
A tournament player very ligely
would play this hand for the max
imum and as result would lose
all; while a rubber bridge player
would be satisfied either to set the
contract, or as declarer to make nine
tricks.
When West plays the queen on
the opening lead, North must win.
A club must be played; East should
play low and the king should win.
Now comes the problem. Would
you cash an your heart tricks now?
If so, you are not good rubber

Every night she must put on a

more than two wearings, with the
best of luck.
Frankly, I don't get it. Since
there is an acute laundry problem
in the country, can't the Navy
change its rules to meet the situa-
ton?
THE whites look nice. There
is no question about that. And I
would think they were fine - if I

my husbands work shirts washed

out of shirts.

Il still wouldn't be so puzzled by
the Nays white uniforms if the
