Stay At Home

Col. j. Monroe Johnson, director Of the Office
Of Defense Transportation, says that transport
tation facilities must be relieved Of all unneces-
sary travel, particularly as hospital ships bring
wounded fighting men to home ports who must
be moved to hospital and convalescent centers
without delay or inconvenience and replace
ments and reinforcements are rushed to i'm
barkation points.
Colonel Johnson points ont that last years
flood of travellers taxed rail and bus facilities
to capacity with occasional overfows on
holidays and week-ends. He adds that indica-
tons now are the ''publc's desire to travel
will be even greater this year. IF all the
people who are planning to travel this year
were actually to co. he adds, sit would be
impossible to handle the crush.'
And he adds:
with invasion In the offing, it may be stated
categorically that any substantial increase in
ravel simply can't be handled. When the battle
traffic is flowing, with both those bearing the
wounds Of battle and those hurrying to fill
their places, there will be no sympathy for
The stranded pleasure traveller.
"Self-imposed restrictions on travel have en-
abled America to come through more than
Two years of war without the necessity Of
imposing travel priorities. It is my hope that
we can maintain this record, but it can only be
done if everyone rigdly refrains from travel
ing unless the travel is urgently, vitality, and
essentially connected with the war effort
). So far as vacation travel is concerned it can
be avoided if, as we have previously pointed
put, families learn to enjoy vacation time in
their own back yards. It is truly remarkable
how much fun is to be found in cooking over
m open fire or in a home made Dutch oven
put near the garage. Try it this summer and
relieve the public transportation lines Or their
greatest war service.

 Most of them won't get expert advice if 1t costs q great deal of money-or fl 1t isn't easily avail- able. They won't have the money, and average families aren't used to consulting pSychiatristS about family problems.

STRAND

last night with the showing of 20lh Century FoX's new Teehneolof musical, Greenwich Village" audi ences at the Strand Theater were treated to the merrieSt Mardl-Gras of laughs, tunes, romantic doinBs and gay spectacle to hit q local screen in a long, long time. And mighty welcome it was, too.
 Apparently, always more than q step ahead in the field Of musicals goth Century Fox has "shot the works" on this one, including the stand-out cast starring Carmen Ml- randa, Don Ameche, William Bendix and Vivian Blaine, "fhe Cherry Blonde, a perfect dream Of a pro- duction, and the most dazzling teeh- nlcolor this side of Heaven. The film is packed tight with more thrills than a Mardi-Gras and more girls than a harem. There's more songs than a flock of mocking birds and the solid down-right fun reaches a new high in entertain ment.
 Anything can happen, and does, in Greenwich Village" The sen- sational terpsichore of Tony and Sally De Marco and the hit songs by Leo Robin and Nacio Herb Brown are a delight to see and hear. Our advise, and please take 1t, is go see Greenwich Village.
 The second feature on the Strand bill which opened yesterday is Re- publics Three Little Sisters based on the popular song hit of the same name. It features Ruth Terry and Mary Lee.
 "The Immortal Blacksmith" John Nesbit Passing Parade. is also on this same bill at the Strand. as ls the latest Movietone News release.

 q small wound a day or so after the injury, and note that 1t is red and hot. Here the fever Is localized, that Is, confined to q small area, It Is Q sign that the white blood cells have collected around the wound to keep the bacteria that may have entered there from spreading far" ther into the body.
 FEVER COMBATS BACTERIA
 Tn certain types of infection, doc- tors now deliberately raise the tenn perature as 0 treatment measure By doing so, they help the body defenses In combating the invad- ing bacteria. So you see you need not be alarmed about Q fever unless 1t is very high.
 The home nurse is taught to use Q fever thermometer as one way oi determining how sick the patient Is and when 1t is necessary to call q doctor. Because the heat-regulating mechanism in children is less stable than in adults, they are likely tc have greater elevation of teinpera- ture for comparatively minor causes However, when a fever goes above 100 degrees. and persists over a per- iod of hours, or recurs daily for any length of time, 1t should be re. ported to the doctor.
 One may have a fever as a result of slight digestive disturbance oi a cold, and not feel very sick. Nev- erthless, he should be put to bec and kept there for at leas t24 hours after a fever subsidies. A day or SC of complete bed rest and liquid diet will give the body 6 chance to fight back against the infection and will hasten recovery.

Beauties Hints Avoid Fierce

Pencil marks on the brow, if they are to look like the real Mccoy, need to be smudged to softness with your fingers, or stroked patiently with an eyebrow brush. Whats left Of sharp color after that needs to be toned down with @ powderpuff.
 The reason I bring this up is be" cause lately I've seen SO many fierce expressions painted on with eyebrow pencius. I don't believe any woman pencils. I don't believe any woman melodrama.
 If you haven't the skill to do a good job with @ pencil, you can darken your brows with your mas cara brush by diluting the stain Q bit with water and by picking Up the hairs lightly with bristle tips.
