G Johnson, that an amendment to the tire regulations used in the States invalidated all certificates for new and used large truck tires issued prior to July Is, for all pur- poses regardless of who may have possession of them, including trans fers to consumers and replenish- ment by dealers and manufactur- CTS. It is estimated that approxi~ mately 130,oo0 certificates for large truck tires have beer made invalid by this action of the National office
 "Fortunately, the Regional office obtained an exemption for the Ter ritories so certificates sent by Alaska dealers to the mainland for replenishment of stock will be valid, Mrs. Johnson stated. In ad- dition, Territorial War Price and Rationing Boards will continue to ration these tires; while in the States, this power has been taken from the local boards and placed in the hands of Emergency Truck Tire Boards"
 The Alaska monthly quota is necessarily low during this critical period, it was explained, and the rationing division is urging all boards to allot large truck tires to the most essential users only. The scarcity is due in large part to the extremely heavy demand of the armed forces and to lack of man. power which makes it impossible to manufacture enough new tires to meet current needs. There is no hope of satisfying more than a small portion of applications for 9 long time to come, according to word received from Washington.

 Germans claim they can hold out through the winter if they have to supply armies and peoples only within their own borders.
 British economic experts told me German industry failed to replace last winters losses. Serial numbers on captured equipment show it is being rushed from the production line to the battlefield Germans have to abandon trucks and cars be- cause of lack of gasoline, which has also curtailed Luftwaffe opera tions.
 The threat to Germany's industry now is greater than ever. Three way bombing from British, Italian and Russian bases leaves no safe spot in the Reich.

The Club de Jeudi Dimes
By A rfhnr II. Deufe.

Last week members Of the Club
de Jeudi were presented with sew
erAl nice fresh country chickens
plump and tender enough to broil.
As fried chicken had outworn its
welcome somewhat Of late, the de-
cision to broil was a happy one
So last Thursday the club dined
appreciattvely of the following:
Radishes, onion rings and carrot
strips, iced, salted and crisp
Broiled chickens
Potatoes du ordtfn
Victory garden beans
Wdtercress salad, French dressing
Iced watermelon.
All this being cooked and served
forth by mere man, acting as
amateur chef. You know, Of course,
that the dinners Of the club are
always cooked by one masculine
member. at whose home the club Is
dining that week. Next week-an-
other chef and another home.
The broiling of the chickens is
done this way: Split the broilers
down the back and make two even
halves. Wash each half and dry it.
Dust well with salt and pepper.
Then brush 1t thoroughly with good
olive oil or melted butter. Broil
until rich brown. Turn and baste.
When done, remove pieces to 4
hot platter and they are ready to
serve with topping Of tarragon
sauce.
If you have no tarragon that is
unfortunate. but not irreparable.
II no tarragon, use a little lemon
juice in the broiler drippings and
serve that. BUT, If you are the
owner OF tarragon bush or know
where there is one, snip of a hand
full OF leaves and mince them fine.
Then, when the chicken is out of
the broiler, remove and strain the
drlppings. Turn drippings into a
little sauce pan and, while heating,
add the minced tarragon. Serve a
bit OF this sauce over the chicken
and enjoy the flne flavor.
After the chicken has been pre-
pared for broiling, but before 1t gets
under way, get the dish Of potatoes
au gratin into the oven. They take
about 10 minutes or maybe q bit
longer. They may be forgotten
while the chicken is being broiled.
Now. there are about as many ways
to attempt au gratin potatoes as
one can imagine, and here is an
other good way-a bit of the beat
en- path. Here the potatoes are not

SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE
"A '1azy Susan" condiment set
would lessen the confusion Of pass
ing the salt, pepper, etc. at the
table. The tray is made OF birch
wood and the glass bottles and jars
are odd In shape. There's one each
for ketchup, vinegar, mustard, salt
and pepper. The tray revolves, Of
course, thus eliminating the dan
gerous act OF reaching over or

FOR A GOOD MOPPET-so,

How about doing both? For a
nominal cost you can get a cum
ming two-piece outfit of sheer cot
ton print. The play suit is adorable
and the button-on skirt makes it
suitable for going to market with
mummie. For the side issue, there s

Is very dainty and quite appropriate
for a brides household.

FOR THE BRIDE-Here's an
other excellent gift for the July

The mothers helper" that jewel
Of q junior miss next door, who used
to pinch-hit when mother needed
time of, has a new importance now,
has achieved a higher status. No
longer a hit-and-miss affair, her
services have been co-ordinated as
an important bit of home style war
work. In some communities these
groups Of young girls have become
afnliated with the Red Cross and
the YWCA. In others they have
been organized into name groups on
their own, with prepractice train
ing, uniforms, hours, honors, and
strict standards.
Never unimportant, the value Of
the work Of such young girls has
increased immeasurably of late. For
now, when household help is myth
ical, when many time-saving short
cuts have vanished from the domes-
tic scene, when outside services
such as laundries and dry cleaning
dwindle, when war work and COM

is just bluf1lng He is just doing 1t
to scare you. DEGREES absolute are
not handed out over the counter
like hot dogs. There has to be at
least some excuse for them, and as
long as you behave yourself and
give no cause for his casting you
out of his home he cannot get a
divorce from you.
Don't you ever read in the papers
about the thousands upon thou
sands of dollars that it costs rich
people who have lost their taste for
each other to get divorces? Take it
from me, the price OF one would
probably be far beyond your hus-
bands reach.
You ask how you can change his
mind about this pleasant little GUS
tom he has Of threatening you with
divorce? That's easy. The next
time he does 1t just dare him to
try it. That will stop him. When
he finds he can no longer scare you
with the bugaboo of Reno, he will
desist from torturing you in that
particular way. But no doubt he
will find some other method just

Dear Miss Dix: My husband and
are very much in love. We have
been married three years I chase
him all the time because I love him
and he Is the man I want to spend
the rest of my life with, but every
time we have a quarrel, be it big
or small, he calls up his lawyer
and consults him about getting a
divorce, which scares me to death.
l am % now, but what If he should
divorce me when I am middle -aged?
Is there anything I can do to
change his point of view? Should
l leave him and get a job? Or
must I live forever with this fear
of his leaving me hanging over me?
MARIE.
Answer-Well, OF all the caddish
things I ever heard of a husband
doing to terrorize a wife into being
an abject slave to him, that hits the
all-time low. For he is trading on
the most sacred emotions of a wom-
ans heart, her love for him, by
holding over her the fear that he
will divorce her If she doesn't lick
his boots.
But let me set your mind as rest
on one point. When your husband

accept. The making of a home, the
bearing and rearing of children and
all jobs incidental to such is our
job. while our men have been as
signed to the task of earning the
living" and the upkeep of the fam
lily pocketbook Both are equally
important jobs. Sometimes at the
end of a tiring. more than busy
day. I must confess that I feel re-
sentful upon seeing my husband
taking his leisure in a comfortable
spot with his papers. while I am
still toiling at dirty dishes. tidying
up the kitchen, getting the little
fellow off to bed, or picking up a
lapful of mending. Then there are
the times when he is free to 90

tennis, or get-to-gether with the
boys" and I am glad for him to
have this realization and enjoyment
but I do feel left on these occa-
sions since still am tied down with
my little family and countless little
jobs which take time but don't seem
