IN WORLD WAR III the ladies
i will be drafted-fnEvariouS

IN WORLD WAR III the ladies
i will be drafted various
service. corps at the outset,
which is to say simultaneously
with the gentlemen.
Then il will not be necessary
for the auxiliaries 70 carry on
recruiting drives, as the WAACs
are doing at present.
In my opinion, it is not too
late 10 start the drafting Of the
ladies right now, inasmuch as
the WAACs alone can use a
large number Of new members.
l see no reason why the gals,
married or single, who have no
children under IA or dependents,
should not be impaneled for
service the same as the gents.
7 SEE no reason why the dolls
L should be permitted TO decide
for themselves whether they
should serve their country If
they are eligible, physically and
otherwise. since the privilege of
decision is denied the guys.
We have given the fair sex
equal rights with the men in al
most every detail and they
should be required TO share in
all the responsibilities of men Of
which they are capable.
In nearly all the cities of the
United States, you see cocktail

GONE Of my readers seem 10
~ be somewhat confused by
my use of the terms nerves. -
"neuritis@ and neuralgia
use them quito exactly and
am pleased 10 make herewith
an explanation.
The nervous system IS an
all-perVading structure which
consists Of a series Of success
slvely higher centers until we
reach the part Of the brain
which has 10 DO with thought
and which controls personality.
When this part of person
becomes disturbed IT Is not
easy 10 find A single word for
the condition. it-maX- affect
some one way and others an
other way.
DCT a most convenient term
- IS nerves 20; TINS applies 10
people who are apprehenslve,
who arc restless the people
who never can SIT sill. those
who always are making pur-
poseless motions, as well as
those who exaGgerate the i'm
portance Of minor events and
possibly minimize the import
ance of ma or events.
In other words. those who
cannot obtain A fair perspective
IN regard 10 the events Of life
and are constantly maladjusted
for that reason.
OF course, II also applies TO
hySterical individuals.
4 MOTHER word for the con-
~ dition is neuraSthenia, al
though this is gong out Of
general use N medical termin-
ology.
II used 10 mean a tired nerv-
Gus system, but as a matter Of
fact. most individuals 10 whom
the term used 10 be applied are
simply maladjusted.
When symptoms which arise
from these personality diSor-
derS and Embellishments are
present, 1t isn't fair 10 say that
they are mental cases and il
gives a wrong impression.

TIVE other set Of nerves is
Il SensOry.
They carry impulses from the
surface of the bOdy--the skin
10 the respective centers in the
brain
These nerves carry impulses
Of touch, temperature, pain and
sense Of position.
And the connmoneSt disorder
of these nerves is the record
ing of senses of pain without
any adequate reason for II.
When you have a boil on the
skin. or an inflammation of any
kind, or a fracture of A bone,
the senSory nerves carry i'm
pulses of pain, and quite prop
erly; there is a reason for II:
the impulse is protective.
But in cases where there is
no condition at the nerve term
mus which we can find which
would cause pain, we call 1t
neuralgia.
Any "algia" is a pain.
Neuralgia is a term meaning
the pain is due TO an irritation
Of the nerve.
ThiSais as exact as il can be
made because we do not know
anything about the cause of a
neuralgia, such as facial neu-
Talgla.

There are two kinds Of these
nerves: one is motor - those
which control muscles.
When such a nerve, for in
stance the ulnar nerve in the
arm, is severed or injured, there
is a paralysis of the nerve IN

This is the condition 10 which

Sports Sweaters To Be Awarded

It was rumored by Joe Allen, who is the chairman of the sweat CT committee of the Electric Boat Athletic club who is giving sweat CTS to all who participated in sports within the last year and 70 others who have helped within the athletic club, that an affair will be held soon to give out the sweaters to the lucky recipients of same.
 A banquet was planned but with the drastic rationing pro- gram that is facing all hotels, inns, restaurants and clubs that cater to affairs such as was orig inally scheduled, this probably will have to be tossed out the window and a meeting held to give out these credits.
 The sweater itself is a beautiful thing and anyone receiving one is the owner of something to keep for years. Old treasures, like old friends, are priceless.

Sally Sub Says

The insignificant bean has at least achieved fame. For it is a Victory Food special for January. This means that our government has selected it for widespread use because it is cheap, plentiful and nourishing. Beans, as you know, are protein, and protein is the substance needed for building Nld repairing our vital body tissues. Since meat is scarce, and meat too is protein, let's make up for it's absence by using beans frequently.
 Here's an especially good recipe: (Boston Baked Beans)
 cups pea beans, small onion, IFS ID. salt pork, F teasp. salt, F teasp. dry mustard, ? tablesp. molaSSes.
 Soak beans in cold water over night. Simmer until skins begin to burst. Drain, add onion and salt pork and cover with boiling water. Simmer for 20 minutes. Mix salt, mustard and molasses in a cup; fill with hot water; stir until well mixed and pour over beans. Place in a bean pot or cas- serole and bake at 300 degrees for 3R-4 hours.
 Take 8 Tip.
 Leftover baked beans, mashed with chili sauce, make a filling for sandwiches which will stick to your ribs" these winter months
 Have you seen the precooked beans on the grocers' shelves? They're slightly more expensive, but cook in 45 minutes.
 To help save gas, be patriotic, and call Mrs. Neighbor and tell her you're using your oven for beans. She might put pot in with yours. Two can bake as cheaply as one.

turn fully to anti-Submarine war fare and other off-shore duties.
 Generally speaking, the princi- pal duties of men in the Flotilla are to keep an alert watch for and guard against sabotage, es- pionage, and other enemy actions; to patrol all waters where the Coast Guard needs additional men and boats in an auxiliary capac- ity; to execute boat, license, and other inspection duties; and to be ready at all times for any emer- gency call.
 The hours of patrol dut ty re- quired of a Flotilla member are scheduled to fit his civilian work ing hours. Thus a member work ing days may give some hours of his spare time during an evening or night, and member working nights may give some hours of his spare time during the day. All auxiliary m m bers contribute their time and efforts; no compen- sation is received from the gov, ernment.
 The ownership of a boat is not necessary for enrolment in the United States Coast Guard Aux Hilary. Any male citizen of the United States of America over 18 years of age, who is sincerely interested, may enroll. If he does not already possess the required knowledge in small boat handling, navigation laws, and other sub- jects closely allied to the opera tion of boats in government wa ters, he will receive instruction by Auxiliary educational facilities. In all cases enrolment is for three years, although a member may be disenrolled at any time he desires. Regular attendance at business m e t n gs and study groups is requirement.
 If enough men on the second and third shifts of The Electric Boat Go. are interested, a special meeting time during the day and Saturday or Sunday classes of in- struction could be arranged.
 Those who desire more informa- tion about the auxiliary should get in touch with Commander John Connor (Tel. No. 39O9); O. K. Osmond (Tel. No. 5OOO); or w. O. Stuart (Te1. No. 7969).

Mrs. Stone Makes Gentlemen Out of Rough Men of Sea

Mrs. Stone, new secretary for MT. Ferguson in the dock office, saved the day for Christy Eldridge this morning when MT. Murphy H.O.R. spare parts man or junk dealer, as Christy calls him, walk ed into the dock office. Christy in a very loud voice addressed MT. Murphy in this manner: Hello, Murphy, how's the junk~ dealer this morning."
 MT. Murphy, always a gentle man, looked at Mrs. Stone and then with his lips tightly pressed and blushing as profusely as a June bride, invited Christy out on the dock so that he could tell him what he thought of him.
 Christy, as you all know, has worked for number of years IS secretary to Captain Foster and MT. Ferguson, writing up all the tests made on the boats. Mrs. Stone is replacing Christy as sec retary so that Christy can go back to work with the tools as an outside machinist which is his old trade and where he will be more essential to our war effort.
 Mrs. Stone came to us from way down in New Orleans and we hope she enjoys being with us as much as we enjoy having her. There is big change already in the atmosphere of the gang that go in and out of the office during the day. We are glad to say that the big rough men that go to sea can and are really gentlemen when there is a young lady pres ent.

He had to do something, ETC thought, to help his country win the war, if it were to be won.
 Yes, Eric had tried to enlist. That was the first thing he had thought of and probably the best. But none of the services wanted 8 man with poor eyesfght such as his.
 Erie was a mild young man at heart, but when his "dander" was up, that was something else. He was nearing 19, and was almost six feet tall. If he had had good vision he would most certainly have become an excellent soldier, for he would fight with never before-seen ferocity, and who could blame him, the son of father who had died fighting for his native Norway, and a moth CT who was hoping and praying for an Allied invasion to free them of the Nazi pigs who had been let loose by their master. Eric had escaped from the Nazis to England, where he had tried to enlist, but in vain. Then, hear ing of the attack on America by Japan, he thought it would be easier to enter the ranks.
 But, as was commonplace to him, he had been turned down, despite his pleadings.
 While Eric was driving in his customary capacity as a grocery deliverer the next day he saw 8 familiar face among the passers- by. No, it couldn't be, he thought. Not Kurt Won Lieb of the dread ed Gestapo whom he had known as cruel beast in Norway.
 The man went into an old building, which looked to be about to crumble with a slight wind. Eric got out of the truck in a hurry and proceeded to ascend the steps which the agent had. He walked up, careful not to make even 8 slight noise, which might reveal himself. At the head of the stairs to the right was a door which was the entrance to room from whence came num- bles and harsh commands. They were speaking in German, but Eric knew the language well, hav- ing been 8 deck-hand on mer- chant ship plying between his country and Germany.
 to in the daytime, Herr Won Liebw said one voice, apparently the leader, You may have been fol- lowed"
 "Ah, yes, but you should know me better than that, the leader reluctlantly agreed.
 Eric went down the stairs noiselessly, and after each few steps, glanced over his shoulder to see if he had been heard. He wasn't.
 In a few minutes, the whole block was dotted with the police Eric led a squad of policemen to the door. As the door was being torn down, hail of bullets rak- ed the hall and one of them found it's way into Fries side.
 Eric opened his eyes and looked about the room. There was the chief of police, and civic officials gazing with pride at him. A let ter was handed to him, and he looked to see from whence it came.

College Touch
In the WAC Camps

Life in the WAC is much like that
of dormitory life in American
schools and colleges. The WAC
finds that her barracks are similar
to dorms, that social life is full of
shows and dances such as are found
on any university campus.
The WAC dorm is supplied with
comfortable beds. plenty of bath
tubs and mirrors and special rooms
with laundry and pressing facilities.
During off-duty hours or after class
es WACs congregate in the barracks
and start up the traditional college
"bull'' sessions with participants sit
ting or reclining on their beds with
knitting or sewing jobs on their
laps.
If their time off is more than a
Jews minutes, WACs may go over
to the honey, attractive "day
rooms where they may read, talk
and write letters. Service clubs on
the post provide refreshments and
place to entertain guests or dates
Both day rooms and service clubs
are very similar to dormitory
lounges and serve the same pur-
pose.
Sports, parties and seeing inter
esting things are listed highest
among the off'the-post fun that most
WACs seek when their classes are
over and they have pass into the
nearest town. They also attend vo-
cational classes, lectures, education
al pictures and movies and otter
take extra courses in languages ano
radio code.
Regular church services are held
at every training center and Army
post and long lines of soldiers ano
WACs line up before the camp
chapels for Protestant, Catholic Oh
Jewish services.
New friends, travel, new expert.
ences and education are all included
in the college-like life CT every
WAC. Unlike college, however
WACs have a chance in the service
of their country not only to Learn
but to put their knowledge ano
training to work for Uncle Sam
