Don't Look, Girls, But Your

and Gray Ladies, who agreed to
do the shopping for him.
This was all fine, of course,
until the women discovered that
your guy wanted to buy you
some of those pretty things she
wears, and some of that perfume
she used on our last date
The name of the perfume he
couldn't remember, of course,
He said it smelled, well, like
stuff he hadn't smelled IN
months. 1t just smelled like he
remembered you, and he liked
il, he said. So the women shop
pcrs went TO work and you can
Judge for yourself when you get
il.
Those pretty things she
wears were another matter,
girls. and that's what we want
to tell you about,
The routine, repeated over
and over again in the wards
went like this: What size does
She wear? Oh, about what you'd
wear or maybe like that woman
over there, he'd say. "Slxteen?'
Gosh, no she's "a" he'd ex-
claim. not knowing this undle
business like you do. Shes
slim and, boy, what beautiful
ewes she's got" he'd go on,
And her hair is SO soft and
shiny and she's got the sottest
cheeks. Get her something like
that, something soft and glrliSh
and beautiful"
SO they did. That's all these
Red Cross workers had TO go
on. And that's why, if you're a
size II and you get some size
~ unmcntionables, don't blame
him.
Don't blame anyone in fact.
It's Just that he got mixed up
after all these months and while
he couldn't forget your eyes and
YOUR hair and your llps-dog-
conc if he could remember your
waist measure.

No SideIines
for Truman
Will Make V-P
Job FuII-Time

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22-(P)
- Senator Harry S. Truman
plans TO accept no executive
sideline jobs after he becomes
vice presidents on January 20.
The souri, senator told
friends before he left Washing
ton today for a holiday vacation
in his home state that President
Roosevelt and he had agreed he
would not be called upon for
outside activities. Such things
engaged some of the time of his
predecessor, Henry A. Wallace.
Wallace once headed the now de-
funct Board of Economic We'll
fare.
Truman's ambition, as report
ed by his intimates, is 10 be-
come a direct pipeline for the
exchange of information and
ideas between the White House
and the Senate.
Because he has been in the
Senate for 10 years, Truman
feels that members will accept
him as one of their own, not
look upon him as an interloper.
He hopes they will continue to
tell him their troubles, advise
with him about legislation.
Truman expects to see Mr..
Roosevelt a couple of times a
week and thus be in a position
to communicate TO the White
House quickly the views Of the
senator's about important mat
ters. In return, he hopes to be
able to tell members where the
President stands on important
questions that come before them.
He will have opportunity for
personal contact with the Pres
ident at Cabinet meetings, be-
sides attending the irregular con-
ferences Mr.. Roosevelt holds
with his legislative leaders.
An exchange Of views be
tween the White House and Sen
ate, Truman believes, will go a
long way toward ironing out
some Of the difficulties with
which the administration is be-
set in Congress. In the Senate
Mr.. Roosevelt's forces have only
nominal control, can lose the
ball quickly any time a dozen
Democrats join forces with the
Republicans. That has happen
ed often in the past.
The Vice President elects con-
facts with the Senate may bear
fruit in another direction, too.
He is toying with the idea Of
making brief weekly broadcasts
a sort Of radio report to
the nation from its No. 2 man
in the official executive family.

With great shouts of righteous
ness, whoopings and legal pro-
cedures, the state, under the late

has taken over ii has steadily
deteriorated to its present condi-

to a cross country rural road.

Importance OF the highway and

figures show il one of the most
heavily travelled in the state. In
view of these facts il seems to us
that necessary repairs, at least,
could have been made when
needed instead OF letting the
highway deteriorate to its pres

like il is going to take a conn
piete collapse OF one of the
bridges, or perhaps a serious ac-
