BREAKFAST IS IMPORTANT

Here's three-point test for a good
breakfast
IT gives you materials for body
building and repair and to help keep
you healthy.
1t provides fuel for body energy.

to make up.

Home needs in the form of kitchen

ances, aluminium ware, vacuum clean

back into the stores now that the WPB
has given the green light to scattered
small Industries which could produce
for the home front without curtailing
war production by use of essential
materials or needed manpower
Among the newer appliances to be

or half grapefruit goes far toward
meeting vitamin c needs for the day.
Use citrus juice unstrained to
get the most yitamins and minerals
from the pulp.
One thing is certain-going without
breakfast is bad start for the day.
It's been found that workers who
skip breakfast get less done in the first
working hour than those who tuck
away Il good meal before work. And
as the morning goes ON, the hungry
ones grow less efficient. After luncn,
they do better; then they slow up
again.
What happens to these workers
happens to homemakers, too and
to everyone else It's especially true
for children. A child who eats good
breakfast has a better chance To do
well in studies and games.

loyalty to the war effort" the brother
hood says in it's official magazine.
"None-too-B Bright Outlook"
"Such, however, has not been the
case, and the present trend indicates
a none -too-bright outlook for wage
carners in the approaching postwar
PERIOD" the brotherhood asserts and
goes on to say:
"After hostilities cease, economists
freely predict, unemployment is again
to be widespread. Overtime work
which has substantially augmented
otherwise meager take-home pay will
come to an end, and wage rates, if not
increased, will lag far behind the ever
rising cost of living.
"No one wants infation; least OF
ALL the worker. When he earns a
dollar he wants that dollar to buy him
100 cents worth of life's necessities
"a dollars worth of food, clothing
and shelter. But is it doing it? OF
course not, with the cost of living
having advanced 43.5 per cent, ac-
cording to a study recently made by
q committee of organized labor, and
with wages held to a maximum in
crease of Is per cent above the level
prevailing in January, 1941.
"InflatiOn Is Here"
Imitation" is an unpleasant word.
1t is descriptive of a condition that
has brought about much misery and
suffering-is producing now in Amer
ican workers homes much distress
and torment because of the failure of
wages to keep pace with the rising
cost of living. Yes, imitation is here
moderately, to be sure, but here
nevertheless-in so far as millions of
wage earners are concerned.
"a wild speculative spree could and
would be worse, but no less justified
than the inequity that is harassing
the head of a household who is try
ing to meet the needs of his family
on 1910 wages plus Is per cent.
"While business, whose profits ap-
parently have not been regarded as
inhationary, will be entering the post
war era with reserves estimated by
government agencies as over Soo,oOU,-
0CG,CO0, two-thirds of the American
people possess less than one-eighth of
the money saved since the war
started.
Savings Held Inadequate
"Although the meager savings in
the hands of the workers cannot be
sufficient to tide them over the post
war transition period, the Congress
has seen fit to reject legislation for
planned reconversion designed to
minimize the catastrophe of unem-
ployment.
"There is but one answer. Wages
must be increased. And that does not
necessitate increased imitation. Inha-
tion is caused by a disproportionate
rise in prices. Wages always lag. If
initiation is to be avoided prices must
be stabilized"

final disaster struck in 70 A. D. A
volcanic eruption showeredr hot
cinders, boiling rain and volcanic
ash down upon the city. When
the eruption ceased three days
later Pompei was buried under
twenty feet of cinders and ashes.
A slight controversy exists as to
what volcano actually destroyed
Pompei. Mt. Vesuvius, which is
still active, and the now dead Mt.
Somma both tower above the city
and either one could easily have
sent forth the deadly shower OF
cinders and ashes that covered
Pompei. The general belief is
that Mt. Vesuvius is the volcano
that destroyed Pompei. How
ever our Italian guide on two diff
ferent visits to Pompei said that
the destruction was due to an
eruption of Mt. Somma. A sold

OF Once Famous

ridge, formerly of Clifton, now
with the U. S. Army somewhere in
Italy gives an interesting picture
of the ruins of Pompei.)
Some time ago I had the good
fortune of being one of a group OF
soldiers that visited the historic
old city of Pompei. 1t was here
that one of the greatest catastrop-
hes of history took place nearly
two thousand years ago.
Pompei was founded in the
sixth century B. G. and was a
flourishing city until So A. D
when disaster struck the city. An
earthquake occurred and almost

iers guide book to Italy distri-
buted by the U. S. Army also
credits Mt. Somma with the des-
truction of Pompei. However, be
that as it may, the fact remains
that Pompei was completely des-
troyed and all the inhabitants
persisted.
Historical authorities are not in
agreement as to the number of
people that persisted in Pompei
but the number is believed to be
between fifteen thousand and
twenty five thousand. Many of
the inhabitants fled towards the
blue waters of the Mediterranean
sea in an effort to escape but were
unsuccessful in the attempt.
Excavation of Pompei began in
I1748 and is now about two thirds
complete. During the excava-
tons many skeletons of the vic
TINS were found and liquid plas-
ter was run into the skeletons as
they lay in the ashes. Thus the
imprint of the body in the ashes
was preserved and the visitor to
Pompei can view the victims in
the various contortions of agony
in which they died. In one of the
stables the perfectly preserved
skeleton of a horse was found
Nearby was that of dog. Num-
erous and various kinds of tools
were found, including a set OF
carpenters tools complete with
saw, calipers, chisels, etc.
There are three theaters IN
Pompei the more important one
being the Amphitheater with a
seating capacity of twenty thou
sand. In the Amphitheater is the
arena where the gladiators fought
one another to the death. It was
here that they also fought the
wild and savage beasts. On the
walls of the arena were paintings
of gladiatorial and hunting scenes.
Due to the fact that Pompei was
covered by cinders and ashes.
and not by boiling lava, many
paintings on the walls of the
buildings are in a very good state
of preservation. The famous
Pompeian red on which many OF
the scenes are depicted is as
fresh today as if painted yester-
day. Another thing of interest
was the writings on the walls OF
the buildings facing the street.
Students of history have deciph-
cred these writings and found
them to be political posters.
''Vote for so and so for Mayor, y
etc.
Pompei was we'll laid out CT
ty for it's day. There are both
one way and two way streets
most of which are paved with Ia
va stone. In the main street the
ruts worn down by the chariot
wheels are plainly visible. The
curb is built up about two feet
above the level of the street and
in the street at regular intervals
are three stepping stones built up
to the same level as the curb.
Thus the pedestrian could cross
from one side of the street to the
other without having to wade the
mud and slush that filled the
streets when it rained.
The city is surrounded by a
high stone wall. In the wall
were eight massive wooden gates.
Atop the wall were fourteen
watch towers. Thus in case the
city was attacked the gates. could
be locked, the walls and watch
towers manned, and the city be-
came an impregnable fortress.
I have written only a few of
the many interesting things we
saw and learned in Pompei. At
ter rambling through the ruins for
hours we all left with the feeling
that weeks or even months of
profitable study could be spent
in Pompei and volume could be
written about the intaroctinn

Retail Trade Rises
7 10 5 Per Cent
Above Year Ago
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 1l.-Retail
trade picked up this week with sales
for the country estimated at 2 to
per cent higher than a year earlier,
Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, reported
today.
THE increase in total sales volume
was largely attributed to the greater
interest registered In spring mer-
chandise as the weather moderated" /"
the business research firm said.
"The rise was modest, however, in
comparison to the squirt which fol-
lowed the announcement of shoe
rationing in the same period of last
year"
Retailers still reported limited as
sortments but noticed consumers
were willing to pay higher prices,
which has maintained retail sales
at high level.
Women's ready-to-wear sales still
were brisk with promotional activity
highlighting spring dresses. Jewelry
demand was gOOd.
Special furniture sales were fea-
tured by department stores and
other large retailers, but response
was limited because Of limited as
sortments and cautiousness on the
part of the public.
Food sales were slightly higher
this week and were estimated at
about S per cent above last year.
Fruits and vegetables were in good
supply as was pork.
Regional percentage increases

Stocks Turn Irregular
After Early Rise
Led by Carriers
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE stock
market got OIL to a fast start on
the upside today, with rails again
in front, but profit taking soon
stemmed the tide and mild irreg-
ularity prevailed from then on.
AS in the previous session, short
covering and a revival of invest
ment demand lifted numerous issues
fractions to a point or so at the
opening on blocks of 1000 to 5000
shares.
Customers then cashed in here
and there for protection over the
lengthy week end-major exchanges
will recess Saturday for the Lin
coins birthday celebration-and
initial plus marks were reduced or
converted into declines near the
close.
Activity also tapered but turn
over for the full proceedings was
around 100000 shares, largest In
more than a week.
The comeback which started
Tuesday was credited partly to the
idea bearishness had been over
done in the face of the generally
optimistic earnings picture. The
Italian battle crisis served to dim
sentiment a bit in today's final ses-
sion.
