WOMEN WITHOUT PHYSICAL
 EDUCATION


 am a healthy young woman in my late twenties. I usually take to bed with a hot water bottle and cramps the first day and a half. Some tablets recommended for pai1- full menstruation have the follow ing formula:
 Acetphenetidin ....... ? grains
 Aspirin ............... { grains
 Caffeine ,....,........A grain A woman in our office says her doc- tor told her there is nothing harm- full in these tablets ..
 Acetphenetidin or acetopheneti- dinum is another name for phena- cetin, one of the coal-tax deriva- tives that numbs the senses (of pain, ache or anxiety) in the same way that acetanilide (phenylacta- mide) does. It has virtually all of blood-destroying, heart weakening effects that acetanilide has, includ- ing the causing of cyanosis-lips, nails and skin turn dusky or bluish, from interference with oxygena- tion.
 If a genuine doctor of medicine told the woman there is nothing harmful in taking acetphenetidin the man lied-but I imagine the woman is at fault in this instance, or possibly, if her I. Q. is not high CT than 1t seems, she misunderstood what the doctor said.
 do not suggest that women with 8 fair physical education never suffer from cramps, pain or other disability at the time of menstrua- tion. I do assert that women whose physical education has been neg lected are most likely to suffer such disability. Clelia Duel Mosher, A. M., M. D., for many years medical adviser to women, Leland Stanford Junior university, proved that dys- menorrhea is corrected in a large number of cases by a simple kind of belly breathing exercise. On re- quest I'll mail to any reader who provides stamped envelope bearing her address pamphlet Hygiene for Girls and Health for Women" which gives the instructions for this corrective exercise.
 From one of Dr. Mosher's articles published in the Jour. A. M. A., I quote this pertinent observation concerning the morbid attitude of women toward this function:
 If every young girl was taught that menstruation is not normal ly a bad time and that pain or incapacity at that period is as discreditable and unnecessary as bad breath due to decaying teeth, we might almost look for revolu- tion in the physical life of women.

II CASES OF LIQUOR
 PER OFFICER!

 Quiet checkups are being made on shipments of liquor to officers messes overseas. No hard liquor may be served on shipboard, and there are strict regulations on the serv- ing of alcoholic beverages in of- ficerS' clubs at both naval shore establishments and Army posts in the United States. Overseas, how ever, the situation is little differ ent. Since officers have to pay for their own food, except when on duty with troops in the field, group of officers may form cooperative mess and practically write their own rules. No one begrudges a sol- dier or sailor overseas an occasional drink when he feels he needs it, which is frequently, or when he wants it. What has irked some thirsty people at home is the charge that orders have been placed for liquor to be delivered overseas at the rate of 10 cases per officer- member of a mess, and at whole sale, tax-free prices running as low as $20 a case. The more charitable view of this report is that if the officers can get it at that price and quantity, more power to 'em
 Virgin Island rum makers have protested to Washington over the way the government-owned Virgin Islands Company distillery is able to evade the ceiling price of $2.75 per gallon. According to the com plaints. the Virgin Islands company sells its barrel for about $. which ! is equivalent to about 10 cents more on the gallon. The little fellows say they can't do that.
 EISENHOWER JACKET
 That looking, short, tight | fitting blouse which Generals Eisen- hover and Patton have been shown wearing in their recent photographs has caused some people to ask if U. s. forces overseas have adopted the British mess jacket. It isn't that at all. It's the regulation field jacket, issued to officers and men for wear in the field and on active service: a light gren zlan cloth, wind and rain rsistant. Fitting snugly to the body and coming just below the waist, it permits maxi mum freedom of movement.

 A squirrel shooter never loses his eye. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, from the hills of Tennessee, proved that he could still draw fine bead in spite of his 72 pears. While vacationing recently in Florida he broke the course record on a Palm Beach putting green. Ten years ago and more, the proud, tall Tennes- sean played some golf. He gave that up for croquet, which he still plays, but he cvaries his croquet with putt ting on the green. The way he sinks 'em at 30 feet is a caution.
 While the $lOo,Ooo,Oo0 Canol oil pipeline and refinery project in northwestern Canada and Alaska has been opened for operations with a publicity fanfare, the Senate's s Truman committee Investigators aren't through with it yet. After the project has been going while, there will be further checks on produc- ton and cost per gallon, which will then be compared with costs by tanker. If the reports aren't favor able, there will probably be new recommendations to cut back and quit spending money, Meantime, negotiations with Canada for fur ther development of the Norman Wells and other fields in this area are at standstill.

on page 1, as Compensation after deductible expenses" On the sec ond line enter the amount shown in Item IS on page l. Which is smaller? Probably the latter. In any case, take 10 per cent of the smaller and enter it on the third line.
 HERE'S PROPER FIGURE
 If one line shows more than 5000 and the other less than $3,000, enter $500 on line of this schedule. If both lines show more than $14,000, enter only $1,400 on the last line.
 Now turn to page 4. Before tackling the final computations, let's figure the Victory Tax in Schedule K:
 On line l enter the sum shown in Item 19 on page l.
 On line write $624 if only one person had income. If husband and wife each had income of $624 or more, write $1,248 on this line. If both had income, but ones was less than $624, add the smaller in- come to $624, and write the sum on line 2.
 Subtract line 2 from line to get line 3, and take per cent of line to get line 4. Now compute your Victory Tax credit for line 5, using only (a), (b) or (c). You can't be in more than one of those classes. so ignore the other two lines. Subtract line 5 from line to get line 6, which is your net Victory Tax for 1943.

 JUDGMENT OF $4OO

Damages of $500 are awarded to Rose Wiezorek of Waterbury in a judgment handed down today by Common Pleas Court Judge Miles F.

Action on Sums Awaits
Next Session, M'Gehee SAYS

Action on Washington's slum
clearance and rehousing measures
today definitely, for the first time,
was shelved for the few remaining
days of this Congress and reserved
for the attention of the new Con-
gress in January.
Representative McGehee, Demo-
crat, Of Mississippi, chairman of the
Judiciary Subcommittee of the
House District Committee, which
has held extensive hearings on the
subjects, today announced there
would be no more hearings at this
session.
He said it would be no gain to
hold additional hearings now, since
there was no prospect final action
could be taken in the old Congress
on the problems of slum clearance
and housing for those who would
have to be dispossessed of their
alley dwellings.
He thought 1t would be much
better to let the questions await de-
termination by the incoming new
Seventy-ninth Congress.
Apparently the same thought is
held on the Senate side by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of New Jersey,
who is chairman of Senate District
Subcommittee appointed to recon-
mend solution of the slum prob
lens.

Nays R0TC Plans
Hit Snag in Senate
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A program for permanent Naval
Reserve officer training courses in
so colleges besides Annapolis was
outlined yesterday before a congress
sional committee.
In connection with the plan, the
Navy has asked for removal OF all
limits on the number of trainees in
the permanent Naval Reserve Of
f1cers Training Corps. The idea,
however, ran into considerable oppo-
sition at yesterdays hearing before
the Senate Naval Affairs Commit
tee.
Senator Geary, Democrat, of
Rhode Island called the bill very
unsound" and even Chairman Walsh.
who introduced it at the Nays re-
quest, said it was doubtful that Con-
gress would approve the proposal
without limitation as to number IF
trainees.
The Navy said the present limit
of 1900 NROTC students was made
quate to meet both present and post
war needs, and that for the re-
mainder of the war, especially, the
program would be so varied that no
limitation should be imposed.
Capt. Arthur S. Adams testified
that the Viz war emergency train
ing program in 131 colleges and uni
versities now is being terminated
gradually. This program is to be in
corporated in the expanded NROTC
program, which would then be car
ried on permanently in some so
colleges besides the Naval Academy
at ANNAPOLIS.
