No Unusual Demond for Shoes Noted
 SeosonoI Trade
 Remoins Brisk

Neither the announcement that the OPA will increase the manufac- turers' cost on shoes nor the lifting of the shoe rationing has created a rush of business for local shoe mer- chants, it is reported Though Wa terbury stores did what they termed a "brisk business" the past few days, merchants expressed the opinion that it was in keping with the sea- sonal surge and few sales could be attributed to the fact that ration stamps are no longer necessary.
 If the price increase is put into effect by the OPA, merchants point ed out that the retail mark-up will not average more than 40 to 50 cents on shoes regularly selling around ST.
 Dealers queried expressed the

POTSDAM, Germany, Aug. A. Well, I finally got up here to the Big 3 conference. (They certainly took their time about inviting mel. The conference really was private. They even had sentries guarding sentries. But MT. Truman, Mir. Attlee and Mir. Stalin had a lot of work to do. They spent eight hours a day trying to figure out what to do with Germany and how to get room here with hot water.
 We just finished putting on a show in the Hollywood of Ger many-a big film studio in a place called Babelsberg.

We had dinner in the VIP messhall (they're already started an investigation to find out how our unit got in). It was Patty's birthday and they brought out a cake for her which she hacked up with a big gold-plated Nazi sword and passed around to one and all.
 There were some important per- sons eating with us. We had quite a talk. I said, "hello", and they said, "Who's that?" Was pleasantly surprised to find the orchestra batoned by Pvt.

ANSWERS and QUESTIONS
 Chemical Preservation

Recipe for canning corn calls for addition <of one-half tablespoon of Boric Acid to the pint jar. an or dinary serving for one meal. Is there any harm in this?
 (Mrs. Fl. O.
 Answer Federal regulations prohibit use or boric acid as food preservative. I'd prefer to do without corn if I had to take it embalmed. If the corn is per- fectly fresh and carefully handled (not bruised or contaminated or al- lowed to stand long) before can- ming, and the canning process is right. it will keep without the use of chemicals.

NEED WE SPLIT HAIRS?

A reader takes the wind out of my sails by calling attention to two discrepancies in the pamphlet "The Hair and Scalp"-first, my state ment that all hair is brown-the pigment is brown, the same as it is in the eyes-all eyes are brown, too-does not agree with E. A. Hoo- tens up From the Ape" an- thrcpologist Hooten assreting that some hair has only brown pigment while other hair has both brown and fred-gold pigment. But then, don't give a hoot-as the painters observed when they saw me decor ating the garage: Doc, you don't give Q dman what color it is as long as it's green, hey?" Let the anthro- pologist apply any fancy name he likes, all human hair is brown, and that that. All eyes are brown, too, if discrepancy hunters care to try and make anything of it.
 The second discrepancy has me just trifle worried. Worried about what other people to whom I have mailed the pamphlet must think of me. This is the first time the dis crepancy has been spotted, so far as I know. Brother, my whole face is red, as well as as my nose.
 First, on p. IT, I say: Cutting the hair does not make it grow faster Likewise shaving doesn't make hair or beard grow faster or heavier. but one with faster grow ing or heavier beard needs to shave more frequently. My friend Dr. c. regularly shaved the hair from one arm for a year or more. Then he stopped shaving the arm. In a few months there was no differences in the hair on his two arms"
 That's all very good, my sharp eyed reader says, but on p. 19 I make the bald assertion about su- perfiuous hair that prompts him to ask whether my pamphlet is worth what his copy cost him. say:
 "A fine down covers the entire surface of a woman's skin except
 the soles and the palms. This down is practically invisible ex-
 cept under, close scrutiny. The age of 14 to 18 may be called the
 age of close scrutiny. But the girl who begins removing hair from her skin lets herself in for a lot of needless trouble and an- noyance, for shaving, whether by
 means of razor, pumice or the chemical depilatories (which dis
 solve the hair), tends to stimulate the down into heavier or coarser growth"
 Perhaps I could have saved my- self from the charge had a ap- pended to the statement the caution that it. applies to the in- visible down only, not to beard or hair.

Arenic Acts Stud Circus
 Church Benefit
 Opens August 20

Outstanding circus stars and arenic sensations around in the big l04S Circus Revue and Country Fair to be held ct the Municipal Stadium on Watertown avenue the entire week of August 20th and 18th.
 The show is being presented under the sponsorship of the Church of St. John of The Cross, Mtddlebury.
 Among the headline acts is Pal- lenberg's performing bears, said to be the only motorcycle riding bears in America. The two-wheeled bikes they ride are actually powered by motor.
 Training the bears to ride the motorcycles was long and tedious task since the animals shy from the loud splitting noise of the ex- haust. Persistence and kindness, two tributes associated with Fallen berg's bears, brought about success and today they seem to actually enjoy that part of their perform ance the most.
 In addition the bears are accom- plished roller skaters, whirling about with grace and ease despite of their huge bulk. A full measure of comedy is associated with the performance of pallenberg's bears and they are always a treat for kid dies and grown-ups alike.
 Other outstanding acts include the famous movie star seal 'iSharkey" who performs in a huge glass tank, the sensational Chinese Tien Tsi Liu troupe, and the Harry LaMar troupe of casting aerialists.
 There will be big Country Fair midway to entertain patrons be- tween the circus performances which will be given three times daily at 2:30, TOO and 9:45, Mon- day through Saturday.

WE, THE WOMEN.
A FelD Faithless Ones
 Glue q Bad Name To All

this war which might account for some of the infidelity of wives.
 This is, the way the soldier overseas has been portrayed as a woman chaser. What picture have the women back home been given of the service man away from home?
 We'll, 1t has been a composite photo made up of disquietting fig- ures on venereal disease, widely publicized stories of husbands falling in love with girls in other countries, lightly written accounts of the way foreign women throw themselves at American men in uni- form.
 Not a pretty picture for the wife at home = or one that tends to make her feel secure in her mar riage.
 FOOLISH WIVES
 And. of course, there are wives who are foolish enough to say to themselves, Well, why should I suppose my George is any differ ent from the rest?" From there they go on to rationalize: why should I sit at home waiting for man who probably isn't waiting for me?"
 Not that such reasoning &C., counts for all of the infidelity among war wives. There are plenty of no-account women who married servicemen for their al- lotment checks and never had any intention of being faithful to them.
 But that kind of reasoning is sure to account for some of the infidelity of wives. And it is too bad they have been given such disturbing picture. For the wife back home needs to have her morale kept high, just as much as does the husband overseas.
 It hasn't been built up by the picture American women have been given of the American serviceman away from home, which can't be any more true of all men in uniform than is the faithfuless war wife a true portrait of all war wives.
