Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-07-29

I THINK l wrote TO you once
Il about men threatening 10
throw away their entrenching
tools once they get overseas
and being mighty sorry II
they do.
At that. it's necessary 70
throw things away in combat.
Things are lost, broken, con-
vcrted 10 other uses. and up in
the combat zones, anything
goes.
over here, if a man rips his
trousers on barbed wire, he has
10 turn IN the torn ones in
order 10 get new pair. Up
where the war Of extinction is
going on, everything is ex-
pendable.
A wounded man back from
New Guinea. one who crossed
the Owen Stanley Mountains
and helped take Buna Mission
said the going was so tough as
they climbed the mountains,
often only a mile or two in a
full day, that they had to throw
valuable equipment away II
was physically impossible to
carry it and keep going.
The important thing was 10

On the
Side

MOST feminine novelists
vi marry and become mothers
but rarely have more than two
children. Dorothy Adds is an
exception. She had four chill
dren in four years.
Dispatch states the possibility
Of woman being elected
mayor Of Los Angeles is being
discussed.
If woman runs for mayor
Of that town she is certain TO
be elected.
In no other city in the coun-
try is the feminine portion OF
the population more firmly
convinced that women are
smarter than men than in Los
Angeles.
4 SOLDIER in New Guinea
~ has asked me to get him a
picture Of A Manhattan model
ne can use as pin-up girl.
Says he:
II have eight pictures OF
Manhattan models but find they
are all married. Is there such
a thing as an unmarried Man
haitian model"
OF course there are models in
New York who are not married,
but not so many of them.
The fact is that about so per
cent of models are married and
80 per cent are mothers.

get there. They discarded their
rifles and marched and craWled
forward. unarmcd.
1t was a bad spot if they
met Jap patrols. But they
didn't. And once across the
mountains they were rc-armed
with weapons dropped from air
planes.
VERY recently l met another
' man who came back from
the Buna Mission campaign,
T/Sgt. John a. Nyland, from
Muskegon, Mich. or maybe IT
was Grand Haven around in
that district, anyway.
He said he knew Of only one
mann who insisted on carrying
all his equipment. He never
did any fighting. He went
crazy before he reached the
fighting sector.
Naturally, it's wasteful. and
il makes you think OF taxes,
but it doesn't make you resent
the waste even so. You resent
the fact that we have to fight
war, but we can't do anything
about that. If we tried 10 fight
economically we'd soon lose the
war. Sgt. Nyland said that men
tried TO save things when they
could.
Once. the sergeant said, they
were about 10 make a landing.
Their commanding officer, know
ing that the men would have 70
discard some of their stuff.

Letters From
A Soldier

called them together and told
them 10 decide. each man for
himself. what they'd carry and
what they intended TO throw
away. Then they piled all the
throw-away articles in big
heap where the supply men
could gather them up later.
TT REMINDS me of a story
L told TO me in Detroit by Mai.
Adams when we were idling
time away in the Cafe Rouge
1t was about horse that got
lost, in the last war.
While the war was on. every
thing was dependable, but the
Armistice caught the supply
men short, because accounta-
bility was put back into effect
as the war ended-that is, they
had 10 account for everything
that was lost or wrecked.
A horse cost around $500, and
nobody wanted to make that
amount up TO the government.
Somebody had a brainstorm.
He had heard of horse dying
eight or. 10 miles up the line.
So they sent a detail of men
In a covered van to find the
horses grave. They dug up the
beast, loaded him into the van.
and curried. com bed and
scrubbed the corpse all the
way back BY the time they
arrived. they had the horse
clean enough to dump into a
stall. An unsuspecting veterin-
arian declared the horse dead
Of natural causes. and nobody
had 10 pay for the horse that
COt lost

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-(P)- The
cotton market rallied sharply to
gains of 80 cents to 81 bale to-
day on buying influenced largely
by the proposed legislation offered
by Senator Bankhead which would
boost the price of government-held

Heavy profit taking caused prices
to sag temporarily but renewed
buying carried the list to new highs
for the day just before the close.
