and root for your team Root?
Well, all root!
Well hepsters, the time is upor
us. The time for which young and
old wait every year. To gate who
wasn't in the know, it would seem
like il was just a day when you
give someone a present that you
paid fer with your hardeaF1leti
gold and that if someone didn't
give you something back, then you
got salty and developed q ease of
. oPen-nOsitiS. So then, to top it off, :
You would say, "I'Il bet don't
give that square nothin' next year,
and that's all there is to it."
Well, if it were true that that's
all there is to Christmas, there would
really be no sense in having a day
like that. Oh, sure, people do things
that have no sense to them all the
time, but not when it comes to Civ
ing away things on the zoon Now,
let us 'tra1lspose this song and see
what it really is about.
From the way that q lot of peo-
pie act nowadays, it seems that
they have forgotten the story Of
Jesus. Ycu know, He was born 4
long time ago in Bethlehem of
Judea. All His life He stood for
everything that was right and
good. When He died, He gave his
life for the principles of truth and
all the fine things that go with it,
The day of His birth is the day
that we now know as December
rs, Christmas. We observe that
day with the giving of presents
because God gave to the world
this good Man, His Son.
Now, in the words of the cat on
the block, here is the Sharks idea :
If you remember the Golden
| Rule, and every now and then
mash good word on some stud
that you find beat, and don't be
living when you do it, then yOu
really have the Christmas spirit in
mellow manner. If you do not,
all the presents in the world don't
n1ean d thing. and You are bust.
So, from the bottom Of my lungs,
I say to all who dig my spell:
II wish you a very Merry Christ

It's sort Of bad when the Kings
OF the Post are upset. When we ran
into Sgt. Chauney Clark and Sgt.
Edward D'Antignac at the club Sat
urday, they were beefing down about
their rough game of bridge. They
had Just recently won from Pvt
Lorenzo Hill, who's good, and Mrs.
Maceo Anderson at the AI1derson's
apartment in Knoxville. They had
also given T/5 Thomas Turner a
beating. Turner was teamed with
Pfc. Harry Belt. From all We heard
the team of Clark and D'Antignac
was creating a sensation.
We invited them for q game, and
of course they warned us that they
only played by appointment, since
they were members of the American
Bridge Society, and they had ap-
-pointments that lasted throughout
the new year. But they considered

 Washington, Feb. 29.-CivilianS will be able to do little more brush ing up in the near future. ReStric- tions on bristles of various types have been eased, making about one- third more regular pre-war bristles for civilian brushes.
 Hair brushes and cleaners and dyer's brushes, can be made from reclaimed bristleS. Shaving brushes have been given a new allotment of real bristles amounting to 25 per cent of the poundage used in 1922. Paint and varnish brushes can be made from certain types of bristle on special order from the War Pro- duction Board.
 NOT ENOUGH ROPE
 Rope clothesline has been re- ported as a ''householdu problem" by private survey group. Since the Army, Navy and merchant ma rine are tied up in the same short age, and manufacturers are having difficulty meeting essential require ments, it is unlikely that anything can be done about clothesline for some time. The War Production Board has no plans to increase pro- duction for civilians. You will have to work out your own make-do or share e-the-clothes line program. TANGERINE JULEP

Each Feb. IA dedicate my article to the memory of one of the greatest players of contract bridge, Louis H. Watson, who died Feb. IA, 1886. His book, watson on the Play of the Hand at Con- tract Bridge" probably will never be equaled.
 Glancing through this book. l ran across what he used to call his favorite hand. We will grant that South was more or less justified in jumping to five diamonds, his partner having made Q free bid in clubs. The average West player simply opened the king of hearts. but Louie" said, My partner has freely supported hearts. South jumped to five diamonds. I am not going to make any heart tricks. I am going to make diamond and a club trick, but that won't defeat the contract"
 He reasoned therefore that the only way to defeat the contract was to open spade. South won this with the ace, and when West got in with the king of diamonds, he returned another spade. Nov you can see that when he was in again with the ace of clubs, he made 8 spade trick-thus defeating g contract that everybody else in the room made.

istic and gripping drama dealing with the heroic behavior of thirteen women who remained on Bataan during General MacArthur's delay ing withdrawal to aid the wound- ed soldiers, starring Margaret Sul- lavan, Ann Sothern and Joan Blon- dell. During the evacuation of Bataan, the gallant American and Filipinos are under constant Jap bombardment. Even the hospital IS fair game for Jap bombs. Supplies of food and munitions are scarce. The hospital is so understatfed with nurses that Dr. Fay Bainter sends her lone nurses aid, Marsha Hunt, to town to ask for volunteers. Marsha returns with nine girls, all from different walks of life, and with divergent tastes. They report to Smitty, played by Margaret Sul- lavan, an Army nurse, for duty. From the beginning there is friction between Smitty and one of the girls. cracking, good-natured Irish lass, Ann Southern. This friction is later considerably heightened by the fact that both girls are obviously in love with the same man, a lieu tenant in the corps. Among the other girls are Joan Blondell. Diana Lewis, Ella, Frances Clifford, Heather Angel and Dorothy Morris.
 On the same program, the second big-hit is My Best Gal" starring your little darling Jane Withers, a story filled with drama, comedy and laughter.

Beauties Hints Hardened Soap Lathers More,
 Stretches Supply
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

Swinging more beauty on a smaller budget is a wartime chal- lenge which a little patriot can boast about with pride. But to make the boast good, keep abreast of the tricks.
 Do you know, for instance, that by whipping off makeup as the finale of your bath you can re- move it with about third as much cleansing cream as you ordinarily use? The bath must be hot. Heat opens pores, releases moisture, practically pushes of makeup with very little help from you or your cream. After your face is cleaned and while your skin is still warm is the time to apply your night cream, which can also be used more spar ingly.
 Have you tried stripping soap tablets from their wrappers and putting these away to harden and dry before you use them? You'll find when you're ready to use these hardened cakes that even though they may have shrunk bit in size, they will last longer and yield more father.
 What do you do with all of those soap chips that clutter up trays and bathtub inches? They make collectors items which will keep your, shampoo bottle as ever-f1lling as the cups in the fairy tale. Simply drop them in the bottle and add water to keep the liquid line climb- ing.

quency until we do something to educate parents.
 Shouldn't every junior high school and high school in the country starts course for par ents. in which they would be taught to understand the needs and emotions of adolescents so that they can understand their own children?
 TWO INVITATIONS URGED
 If such course, with weekly sessions, were announced and every parent urged to attend first by a letter and then by a personal call from a school teacher, the majority of parents certainly would be will ing to go.
 After learning what adolescents have a right to expect of their parents and of their homes, the parents themselves could discuss their particular problems.
 Of course, they'll be due for some shocks, and 1t might be more con- fortable for them to stay safely at home, going on thinking that only other peoples children ever get into trouble. But they would be of far more help to their children if they learned what young folks are really like today.

STATE

Performances tonight at Warmers State theater conclude the engage ments of Michael OShea and Susan Hayward in "Jack London" also Jimmy Lydon in Henry Aldrich Haunts A House. with a big cast of favorites in support.
 Tomorrow the State ushers in an- other outstanding show with "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" as the headliner of the program.
 Produced in technicolor "Ah Baba and the Forty Thieves, co-stars Maria Montez, Jon Hall and Turhan Bey new screen sensation in an en- chanting picturization of the loves, intrigues and wars of ancient Bag dad. Miss Montez, according to reports exceeds the spitfire charm she ex- hibited in such earlier technicolor successes as Arabian Night" White Savage" and Cobra Woman. Co., starred with the lovely Maria are Jon Hall, who again is teamed with her effectively in the love theme and handsome Trrhan Bey, a rela- tive newcomer to the realm of top billed screen personalities whose en- gazing performance well merits his opportunity.
 Locale of the elaborate film fam tasy is ancient Badgad in the days of it's most resplendent glory. Miss Montez appears as princess whose treacherous father brings about the staying of the Caliph and the conquest of Badgad by Mongol hordes. Hall, son of the dead Caliph. joins forces with band of jolly thieves and, in league with the princess slave, convincing ly portrayed by Bey, finally ousts the cruel Khan from the city. Not, however. before the generous amount l of fast-gripping action which has come to be expected from these Universal period adventures has been reeled off.
 Highlights of the pictorially su- perb story come when Miss Montez bathes by moonlight in an oasis pool and recreation of the delightful fable about Ali Baba, the Forty Thieves and the miracle of their mountain Sesame, which opens and closes upon command.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents Moon light in Vermont" with Gloria Jean, Ray Malone, George Dolenz and a score of other fayorites.

Questions, Answers
 About the WAVES

Do all WAVES begin e ap- prentice eeamen9
 Yes, even officer candidates. However, after the indoctrinati0n and training period there are asito- matic promotions. Higher ratings thereafter depend on ability and length of service.
 How do qualifications for WAVE officers differ from those for en- listed personnel1
 A college degree, or two years of college work plus acceptable business or professional experience, is required. Eye and teeth stand ards are slightly higher. Women up to 50 years of age are eligible. These are the principal differences in requirements.
 How long are WAVES on duty daily2
 Theoretically, WAVES are al- ways on duty. Practically, the work is no more arduous than in an efficiently managed business. No WAVE candidate, however, should be actuated by a desire for an easy, glamorous life. WAVES have plenty of time for recreation, but the important thing is to do . job quickly and well and thereby eon- tribute toward earlier termination of the war.

Shirtwaist Skirtrnates
New Separate Skirts And Dressy Blouses Are Smart Ensembles
By EPST KINARD (NEA Stan Writer)

New York.-Dressy black faillc skirts Siraped, sideswept, bow-tied make mates for thsi springs blouses which are much too pretty to hide under jackets or suits. For the striped chambray, printed rayon and stlmmery sheer blouses with wonderful dressmaker details-ruf- fled high and low, back fastened like a cleric's, collared, like a choir boys, bosom-pleated and yoke trimmed designers have gotten out their pads and pencils and turned their minds to making skirts that, independent of jackets, can go to church, to tea, to restaurant roofs.
 Skirts stepping out with blouses have a law-abiding silhouette, but it's broken up with fullness to mark figure faults in clever ways. The wrap-around style, for in stance, has side drape falling from the waistline like a graceful scarf to. hide hippiness. A skirt which would otherwise look tubular has front cascade running from top to bottom to hide a tummy, and waiStline ties to keep outlines from looking too sharply etched. Even a straight-as-a-string skirt is flat tering to the figure, because there is front tie which stimulates a sash and softens the waistline.
 But because skirts and blouses are not easy to wear, it's impor- tant to know what you're up to. If you're pint-sized-not much more than five feet-it's better to pass up these fashions altogether, for a light blouse and 8 dark skirt make a color division that will simply dwarf you out of the picture.
 If you're tall enough to be 1944 Gibson Girl, wear a high-top girdle and a long bra tabled over it to give you close-hauled look underneath skirt and shirt. Where a waistline is bracelet-sized but there are ampler curves above and below, sacrifice your waist. to the needs of bust and hips and wear an all-in-one foundation of the cor slette type.
 Don't wear any redundant pieces of lingerie that pad midriff. If the barest necessity is slip, have 1t as untrimn1ed and close-fitting as your skin. One good tricw today's Gibson Girls are taking over is sew ing salvagable petticoats-the tops of which are all shot-to shirttails of blouses. This union of blouse and slip eliminates one thickness over your middle, keeps a shirttail an chored and prevent blouse from ballooning out over a pinched- in waist.
