her family. Then, too, she has a son in the
service-Lt. Ralph Gilpin Robson (USACG).
From then on things began to happen.
For, Mrs. Robson is the sort of person who
wastes no time in translating her sympathy
and her enthusiasm into action.
1t was she, you recall, who was responsible
for getting guarantors to underwrite Detroits
first season of civic opera presented last
autumn by the LaScala Opera Co. of Phila-
delphia
Among those whom Mrs. Robson inter-
ested in the Percy Jones project were Mrs.
Otto Kern, Mrs. Harry w. Taylor, Mrs. Edward
R. Chapman, president of the Tuesday Musi-
Gale Society, and Mrs. Walter ]. Gessell (Gzid
Szanto), vice president; Mrs. Kathryn F.
Montgomery, president of the Highland Park
Music Club, and Mrs. Sidney Jackson, head Of
the Music Study Club of Detroit.

Good Music Aids Vets

A music appreciation" room at the
hospital where those boys who crave good
music could go and listen to il, undisturbed
has been The dream Of Mrs Glenn Anderson,
president of Sunshine Fund, Inc.
Good music, in such peaceful atmosphere
not only would contribute to the happiness of
these music-starved boys but according to
the doctors in the hospital, it would be of
great therapeutic value to the patients with
tangled nerves
There was a room available for the pur-
pose
But the army has no money to buy must
cal instruments and furnishings.
While the Sunshine Fund Inc. has raised.
through donations many thousands of dollars
TO furnish day rooms at the hospital, a ro-
tunda and a clubhouse on Gull Lake for
officer-patients, and to buy athletic equip
ment, Mrs. Anderson despaired of ever getting
a music appreciation room for her boys"

THE HOPKINS DINE OUT

Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Hopkins have
left the White House and are liv-
ing in home in Georgetown. One
evening recently, they decided to
step out for dinner.
1t was quite a come-doWn from
the White House.
They went to Mortain's, on the
corner of Wisconsin Avenue and
N Street. next door to a garage
and across the street from an ice
cream factory All sorts of people
eat there, from taxi drivers to Os-
valid Garrison Willard and occas-
ionally Speaker Sam Rayburn.
When the Hopkineses walked in,
there was no booth available, so
they stood around waiting. When
they got space, they ordered a
couple of drinks fwhiskey sours)
and then a dinner at Sl20 each.
Hopkins opened with clam chow
der, but Mrs. H. waited for the
main course, which was lamb stew.
She maintained lively converse :
ton most of the time, apparently
trying to persuade Harry to her
way of thinking on some matter
Harry didn't seem to be impressed
Word of their presence was viii
pered from table TO table, amid the
whir of the ventilator which tried
valiantly to carry the fumes out
doors. One of the guests tugged at
a walters apron strings, and said
do you realize who you're waiting
on?"
oh, yeah" said the waiter, with
a shrug They've just moved into
the neighborhood."

WAR SURPRISES

Policy makers Of the War Produc-
tion Board are still taking the po-
sition that there is nothing to spare
for more than the bare minimum
of civilian requirements. But when
you talk to lower ranking officials
of the industry level, you find them
wringing their hands over the prob
lens of SURPRISES.
This is not true of every branch,
but it is general enough to indicate
that Americas tremendous produc-
ton machine is now producing more
than the war can consume
Take the case of printing presses
The WPB branch handling printing
presses is itching to tell the world
that they actually see enough ma
terials on hand to resume manu-
facture OF presses for newspapers
and for printers generally.
They cite the case of one group
of press builders who, after con-
version to war production, took a
contract to build 1900 navy gun
