SAN FRANCISCO, July 13. CUP)
Capt. James d. Wilson, (CEC)
USN, commanding officer at Camp
Parks, Cal, said he was confident
that a navy board investigating
charges that men at the camp had
been mistreated would find them
'unfounded or greatly exaggerated. :"
The 18th Naval District said the
investigation of the charges was
under way.
Wilson said charges that physical
ly unfit men were being sent to Pa
cific combat areas were manifest
ly absurd" because of the high ply
sical entrance requirements of con-
struction battalions at Camp Parks.
He said navy leave policies were
complied with fully ard that per-
sonnel at Parks carried out only
policing duties usual in any military
organization.

Although the time has passed for
mailing Christmas packages to men
and women in the Service overseas,
you can still mail holiday packages
to those in the Navy. And of course
there are all those in the Service
camps in this country who are al
ways looking for boxes of cookies
from home. Research has shown
that our Service men and women
enjoy homemade cookies more than
anything else they receive. But
cookies that can travel and still stay
intact, fresh and crisp, are the best
kind to make.
If they are to be for Christmas,
wrap three or four to the package
in gay Christmas wrappings-and
pack them in rows between card
board walls.
Perhaps one of the best cookies
for travelling is

TASTY TIPS

Full-groWn cabbage cannot stand
much freezing, but half-grown
heads can take lot of it. The half
grown cabbage may be eaten as
greens.
Persons with only a few root
crops-beets, carrots, turnips, ruta-
.bagas-on hand at the end of the
gardening season may store them
for several weeks in bushel baskets
lined with old newspapers and can
keep them in the garage, on the
back porch or in the basement.
To prepare beets, carrots, turnips
and rutabagas for storage, cut tops
off flush with the tops of the roots.
Don't leave short stubs of top
growth that will rot easily and may
lead to rot of the root itself.
Parsnips taste better if left in the
ground until they freeze.
To drv-store beans, black-eyed
peas and peppers, spread in shall
low pan and heat 20 minutes in the
oven at $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
then store in fruit jars or cans with
tight lids. This treatment insures
against insect trouble.
Squash, sweet potato and pump
kin keep best in a rather warm
place. A temperature of SIS de-
grees Fahrenheit is ideal but 70 is
not too warm.

in the outcome Besides it is the Electoral
College, not the popular vote, that decides
presidential elections.
Sidelights on the poll are no less interesting
than the tabulation For example. 27.6 per
cent said, in effect that there was no question
in their minds that Mr.. Roosevelt would make
the best President and they intended to vote
for him. Another 21.6 per cent said there were
things about Mr.. Roosevelt they did not like
but they intended to vote for him nevertheless
Of those intending to vote for Governor
Dewey, 296 per cent said they thought he
was the best choice Republicans could make
and another 1871 per cent said they thought
he would make a better President than Mr..
Roosevelt although they would have preferred
another Republican. OF those poled only g.
per cent said they had not made up their
minds.
November is still a 'fur piece off. What.
ever value Fortunes poll possesses is tenn.

republican sentiment is not wholly favorable

tage of their total forces We will turn a

The General bases his view on the break

in their drive to take KWelin or Canton, he
believes, the campaign will be costly one

He adds that the japanese cabinet shakeup

the sombre tone of comments everywhere on

Children On Delinquency

Since juvenile delinquency became ma
| jor problem with the entrance of the United
States into this war, a thousand and one soll-
tons have been offered. Not a few of them
have come from juveniles themselves
Every once in while group of boys and
girls has written code of behavior or pro-
posed ways and means for keeping clear of
the law and advancing the standing of chill
dren in the community. If there is one fault
with these contributions to the general dis
cussion it is that the proposals come from
children living on the right side of the track
and none from the wrong side
In other words, the boys and girls who
have been IN trouble and smart under the
punishment they have received either have
not thought out the causes of their wrong do
ing or OF how their situation could be bettered
We are dependent upon the opinions of or
derby and well behaved children, ''to whom
all things are possible because all things are
untrled' While their views are theoretical,
however, some of their ideas do not deserve
to be shrugged off
Such group gathered at the BENJAMIN
Franklin High school in New York recently
and pondered what to do about juvenile de.
linquency?" Eighteen boys and girls, all pu-
pills of the school, proposed a program of
recreational activities. The boys favored ma
chine shop work and sports, the girls stressed
arts and crafts. They all urged establishment
