IF A lonely American SOL
der overseas gets a yen
to marry the girl he left be-
hind he can do 1t now by
mail. And with Uncle Sans
blessing.
To get his female-by.V-
mail the CT signs a docu-
ment saying he wants to
make her his wife and drops
il in the nearest letter box.
Her signature. and the
proper registration of the
paper with local officials,
makes the couple legally
we'd.
There is only one catch to
getting a bride by mail
order. The state in which
you live must recognize the
validity of the marriage.
Some do. Some don't.
But if it is legally okay
with the state, il. is all right
with the Army and the wife
may collect the allowance
of her soldier husband.
1t was a romance between
Josephine Serraino Of Up.
per Darby, Pa, and Cap
tain Joseph Vaccaro of
Philadelphia that led Uncle
Sam to hand down a ruling
on marriages by mail.
Joe was with the Army
Air Forces overseas. He
wanted to marry Josephine.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-09-17

Signing a document say
ing so, he mailed it to her.
Then she signed it, too.
That was all right until
Joe went to make her allot-
ment. The Army asked rs
it legal?" So the whole
business was sent to the
Comptroller General for a
ruling.
The paper which the
couple had signed stated
that whereas. il is impossi-
BILE for them at this time TO
procure a marriage license
and be married by a civil or
religious ceremony" they
do hereby mutually cove
nant, promise and agree
that they are now and
henceforth will be husband
and WIFE,"
Assistant { o m p tr oller
General Frank l.. Yates,
after citing many legal
opinions on the subject dat.
ing back to World War !,
announced that the mar
riage was valid. So il was
entered on the record.
His approval was based
on the fact that Pennsyl-
vania is one of 10 states
that recognize marriage by
mail. In the other %, alb
sentee marriages have no
legal status whatsoever.

THARLIE LEGG, a cab
- driver in Bath, England,
was brought before a magis-
trate in his home town the
other day and charged with
using his taxi Illegally.
The cabbie, it seems, had
been caught carrying furni-
ture in the vehicle to his
new home. The police said
that under wartime regula-
tons he was picked up.
The cabbie, so it was
charged, had beer issued
gasoline coupons to run a
taxi and using the car for
his household chores vic.
lated the law.

Some women never think Of the

unpleasant odors. To be sure, make
this test: check up on your hair

There's an easy way to be sure
that your hair can stand a nasal

Shampoo regularly. This scientific
shampoo. which contains pure, me-
dicinal pine tar, not only cleanses
the hair and scalp thoroughly. but
also leaves the hair fresh and fra

day when the desire TO smoke
appears.
Take a dose composed Of half
a teaspoonful of Rochelle salts

The greatest aid will be found
in a change of dietetie habits.
Smokers are fond of highly sea-
Soned foods and stimulating
drinks.
Keep away from smokers and
a tobacco-smoke laden atmos-
phere as far as possible for three
weeks.
Take a Turkish bath twice

 Merchants are reported at 8 re- cent meeting to have discussed the possibility of obtaining high school students for Christmas season full- time jobs, but a change in the Christmas vacation peried would be necessitated, and no action has been taken as yet Schools are scheduled to close December 22. If an earlier closing time for schools is not ob- tained 1t is believed an arrange ment might be made with the edu- cation department whereby certain students might be excused from classes to work during Christmas week.
 It has been estimated by some sources that stores may need more than zoo extra workers, while several more hundred will be needed at the post office.
 From Tuesday through Friday of Christmas week, stores will be open from 9!30 p. m.. Starting November % stores will be open until p. m. on Saturdays, with the exception of the Saturday before Christmas when the closing time has been set for D III.

 At present the O. I. O. according to Executive Secretary John J. Dris- coll of Waterbury, has taken no def mite stand in the situation. Whether the state council will eventually sub- init recommendation to the gov ernor has not been intimated to date.
 In view of the determined effort of friends of Commissioner Danaher to have him retained there may be change of sentiment among some of the labor leaders nov on record in favor of Egan or Moylan may withdraw their support and give their approval of the plan to keep Connie" Danaher in the official limelight.
