South Dokoto Prep0res For
 Bird Hunt

Pierre, s. D., Aug. . = (UP) = South Dakota is preparing for aIl- other great pheasant hunting sea- son-perhaps even greater than the 1914 season, which resulted in q record kill of 6,439,508 birds-the equivalent of nearly 100000 pounds of ration-free meat.
 Despite the 1914 kill there will be plenty of birds. The state pheasant population was estimat- ed at 16,7O0,0 900 last fall, and the l945 crop may exceed the 1924 Kill, since weather has been favorable for matching.
 Hotels and hunting lodges al- ready are receiving requests for reservations despite westward travel difficulties and the uncer- tainty of the shotgun shell supply.
 At least 4S,315 out-state marks men Hooked to South Dakota dur ing the 1914 season, compared with 17,448 the previous year. Resident hunters rose from S6y89l to 85,359. Tn addition. 4,627 resi- dent servicemen hunted free and 3,3O9 nonresident service m en bought special $1 licenses. The grand total of all small-game li- censes was 135,610, compared with 89, ,O33 the previous season.
 Nonresident hunters, who last year came from 47 states. the Dis trict of Columbia and five foreign counties, paid $846, 300 in license fees for the privilege of carrying an estimated 40 birds per hunter out of the state. Hotel and housing accommodations, meals tr a re ] cost and entertainment expendi- lures raised the nonresident hunt ers' outlay in South Dakota to an estimated minimum of $5,000.000. Minnesotans Lead
 Minnesota led the parade Of non- resident hunters, witE 13,372 n- censed during the 1924 season. Only Vermont was unrepresented. Nim- rods also came from Alaska, Canada. Mexico, Panama and South Amer ica.

No Inquiries Answered On ox Refunds
 Revenue Stoff Too
 Busy to Provide
 Information

Taxpayers of the state were re- quested by Frank w. Kraemer, col- lector of internal revenue for the district of Connecticut. to refrain from writing to inquire regarding thier refunds for 1944. MT. Kraemer stated that all refunds are being scheduled for payment at the ear- Hest possible date and it is contem- plated that this work will be com pleted by September IS. Originally the goal for payment of all refunds was set for October 15. Under the system used in paying refunds it is impossible to advise any individual taxpayer when he may expect his check and inquiries of this type only tend to slow up the process. Re- turns which are accurately made out will be processed and refunds issued before those which are incomplete. MT. Kraemer pointed out that re- funds are being issued on returns as filed by taxpayers and are subject to later audit.
 An estimated 100000 refunds are to be paid taxpayers of the state of Connecticut, MT. Kraemer disclosed Of this number over 240,000 have been paid since May 27 when the first refund check was issued. Tax payers expecting refunds who have moved since the filing of their re- turns are asked to notify the Bureau of Internal Revenue of their new address.
 It is estimated that 9 million re- fund checks are to be issued for the entire country for 1914. AS of July 27, 10,968,000 have been issued amounting to $481, ,980,000. Refund checks are being sent out at the rate of 1900, 900 per week and aver age about $45.

Ter took charge, and Hermann knew no more what went on in the camps than did any other Germans. He was mortified when, during the last years, he learned some details.
 "Yes, Hermann did organize the Gestapo, but for the year he was in charge the Gestapo was very small. It only became big that horrible instrument that Hermann, too, feared-when Himm- Ter took over.
 Hermann always was strict ly against war. In 1888, when he went to Munich, he promised me: I'll bring you back peace In 1889, with war approaching, he shouted so at Ribbentrop, who wanted war, that Hitler inter vened: 'Goering, you must mod crate yourself To which, his wife says, the Reichsmarshal re- torted: T don't want to fight Rib- bentrop's war against England
 Emmy is exasperated because so many have committed suicide who, she believes, if alive would contribute to her husbands de- fense This applies with extreme bitterness to Himmler.
 "That Himmler!" she ex-
 claimed. "That scoundrel! He
 lied to us about everything.
 "HOw often did Hermann
 beg him to spare a certain
 person. Herman would say:
 Please. Himmler, do it for
 my sake Himmler would
 answer: "Sure, I'll burn the
 dossier.' But later we would
 learn that the person in ques-

New York, Aug. 7- OP) The Atomic bomb was born in the rug ged mountains and forests of Ten nessee where more than 50,000 acres were isolated as a natural labora- tory.
 Everything about the secret opera tion smacks of the impossible. It exceeds in wonder anything that Jules Verne ever conceived. It is remarkable also by the enormity of its creation. I learned of it last year by flying along one edge in an army bomber.
 When scientists were assigned by the War Department to develop in practice what they had conceived in theory, the government took an option on 50,000 acres in one of the widest parts of the Tennessee mountains.
 Thousands of Workers
 The region was isolated complete | ly. The few mountain families liv- ing there were forced to move. Then thousands of workers were sent in to build, first a series of laborator- ies, then production factories.
 Contracts were cut up minutely so that each contractor knew only of his portion of the top-secret work. But the jig-saw of construc- tion jobs, when completed, provided the most modern laboratory for the development of scientific destruction ever devised. Even the great engin- eering and electrical equipment makers who produced the labora- tory and factory materials required did not know what they were mak- ing. They knew only the small units they were building from speciflca- tions but they did not know into what hole their piece would fit.
 Secrecy Prevailed
 The original laboratory is not far from Knoxville but far enough so that any accidents would not endanger the city. Everyone in and around Tennessee knew that some thing of extreme secrecy had been going on for well over year. When flew over the edge of the great reserve could see enormous grad ing operations.
 Army airplanes circled the re- servation driving off all planes Army and civilian pilots were in structed to use contour route tc avoid flying over the secret zone.
 Knoxville newspapers knew from the number of papers demanded from within the zone every day approximately how many workers were secreted in the great reserva. tion. At one time, at the peak O the construction work which wen on day and night, there were 5000, workers and they were housed ant fed inside the zone so that the. would not be in position t divulge any information until thei task was completed.
 Secluded Lives

Bobby Soxers Roller Skote
 To Pass Time
By BEN GALLoB

United Press stan COrrespOnuenS Chicago, Aug. 2 - (UP) = The bobby soxers have invaded the roller skating rink.
 They have their own equipment, clothes, fashions, dances and code of behavior. Into Chicago's Il big rinks and scores of smaller ones, they pour in for Sunday matinee skating by the thousands. More than 10 per cent of high school stu dents skate regularly.
 Young people have always done some skating according to Lois Hoffman, 16, a pert high school student who hasn't missed more than half a dozen Sunday sessions in the three years she has been skating.
 But the war has given the sport new popularity. The shortage ot men has hit the upper high school age brackets and so the girls go skating.
 Besides, except for the cost of the skates, it's an inexpensive recrea- tion. And there is a chance to meet a few young men.
 The soxers observe some interest ing customs about their boy friends
 Like Other Boys
 We don't care for the boys from our own classes" Lois says, "and vice versa. We like to meet other boys"
 They meet them at the rinks. It's all right to accept skating invita- tion from a stranger, but absolutely taboo to ask boy to skate.
 The code of behavior dictates that girl may not accept date from boy she has met at the rinks. When Lois like them, she brings them home to have dinner with the family.
 Standard equipment is a pair of high-top white leather laced shoes with skates attached. These sell from $16.50 a pair up to special jobs costing as much as $50. The girls usually carry rat-tail comb tucked into the top of the right shoe. Some carry a handker- chief and few park their small change and lipstick in the top of one of their shoes.
 No Shorts A blouse and short colored skirt is the usual ensemble. A few girls wear slacks. Shorts are not. per- mitted in most rinks.
 Brightly colored satchels, about | the size of a small trunk, are used to carry skates, compacts, wallets and other personal items. The out side of the satchel is plastered with various insignia, such as colored paper pennants from an all-boys' school. The male skaters paste pin up girl pictures on the inside covers of their satchels.
 The coxers have clubs with caste lines based on skating ability. Any one III school may belong to club such as the Tiger Rollers, high school club to which Lois belongs She doesn't skat well enough tc belong to the outside clubs whose members are expert.
 Most of the rinks sponsor skat- ing lessons, including the fox trot waltz and what. are known as in ternational dances. These art standard throughout the country.

@. have heard that a Class B dependent no longer receives the Family Allowance after she reaches 18 years of age, even though she has another year to go in high school. Is this so and must the Gov- ernment be advised when sht' reaches 18?
 A. A Class B dependent is no longer entitled to Family Allowance after reaching the age of Is. Ii there is another person or persons incluoed in that application, par ent or another brother or sister of the serviceman - the Family Allow ance vii continue to be paid on their behalf and in the same amount, $3700. Dependents of sol- dier in Class B receive $37.00 re- gardless of whether there are one or more such persons in the family. If the IS year old dependent is the only person for whom the apnlica- tion is in effect, and payments con- tinue after she reaches IS the Office of Dependency Benefits, Newark, N.

How long does soldier have to wait, when he gets a divorce, be- fore he can remarry?
 A. If the soldier obtained the dl- vorce he must wait six months be- fore he can rema-ry in the State of Massachusetts; if his wife obtained the divorce, he must wait two years before he can remarry in the State of Massachusetts. This matter varies according to the state in which the divorce is obtained
 @. My husband has been sta- tioned in the states for over year and I have received a monthly check of $50.00. Now he has been sent overseas and my check is still for $50.00; shouldn't it be increased for overseas service?
 A. Your Family Allowance is mol increased except when another de- pendent is added. The soldier re- ceives 20 per cent increase in his pay for overseas duty but this is paid to him. If he wishes to send 1t or an amount of it to you, he should authorize Class E allotment ir whatever amount he desires paid This allotment would come in sep. arate check from your Family Al lowance.
