AS TOLD TO TYLER MASON

What do you think of this one?" he asked
''She is very nice, monsieur le capitaine,
but should prefer male"
So the Captain called to passing pilot
Hi, Skippy! I'm looking for dog for this
little girl"
Almost before he said it, dogs of all sizes
and all colors yipped around them Every
once in while the Captain would point
one out hopefully. But the old woman found
an objection to each. One was too large,
one was too old. Was monsieur lie capitaine
sure this one was housebroken?
Monsieur lie capitaine was sure it was not
The old woman looked at him gravely,
When one has only dog to love, is it
not important that it should be just the
right dog?"
And none of these will do?"
Mon, monsieur lie capitane"
Never Misses Landing
JUsr then plane TAXED past and Scottie
hobbled after 1t on three legs.
There goes Limpy," the Captain said
Poor devil, he never misses landing"
He told them the story of the pilot who
had brought his plane back riddled by flax.
When the ambulance pulled up, only the
tiny mascot was alive in the bomber cock
pit with leg torn and bleeding.
Limpy lost that leg, but as soon as he
could hobble, he was out on the land
ing strip whenever a plane few over.
The old woman and the little orphan
listened quietly while the Captain told the
story Then they too went up to the plane.
Limpy was hobbling back and forth as the
crew jumped down.
When the last man had left, Limpy still
stood there alone. You could see disappoint-
ment in every line of him. The little girl
let go her granny's hand, and put both her
arms around the crippled Scottie.
Too bad we couldn't find the right dog"
the Captain said a shade testify.
''Oh but, monsieur, we have found the
right dog"
The Captain started.
But he's only got three legs!"
Precisely, monsieur! So he needs us.
He is an orphan as she is. They will comfort
each other. Merci, monsieur lie capitainep'
As he watched Limpy hobbling after the
old Frenchwoman and the little war orphan,
the Captain knew that he had not wasted
his time after ALL

bombed-out barracks were a mere sieve
through which the winter gale whisted;
the airstrip was newly wrested from the
Heinies and as yet he had no Office but his
bedroom 1t certainly would be nice to have
a stove 1t would be even nicer to have
little privacy. And it would be godsend
to have a sergeant who spoke French. He
looked toward the door where an old woman
was trying vainly to explain herself.
She was very old, and she had strained
look in her sunken black eyes. Toddling
beside her was a baby girl.
Il can't seem to make her out Captain!'
the Sergeant said helplessly. Its something

The Captain motioned her over. What

The old womans face relaxed.
.'Ah, monsieur lie capitaine, vous parlez

is that all?" the Captain smiled. What
does he look like"
But have not yet seen him, monsieur
lie capitaine!'
The Captain tried again.
when did you lose him?" he asked.
But did not lose him. the old woman
insisted Il came only to find him.
The Captain blew his nose to hide his
embarrassment
A Gentle One
WHAT kind of dog are you looking for?"
he asked hopelessly.
"A gentle dog, monsieur. One that will

So that was it. And the airbase was over

Captain said cheerfully.

Officers Admit Nazi Prisoners Ham
Dinner at Eastertide Was a Mistake
BY S. BURTON HEATH

FORT DEVENS, Mass.-Some
Army offices concede candidly,
but not for quotation, that il was
a mistake 10 feed ham 10 the
German prisoners of war here
for Easter. al a time when civil
ians could not get il for their
own table.
Prisoners OF war are fed in
r.odified accordance with mas
ter menu promulgated by the
Quartermaster General in Wash
ington. The master menu for
April was distributed in Decem-
Der, and purchasing officers be-
gan at once buying the neces-
sary foodstuffs 10 comply with
il. This master menu, for troops
and prisoners, provided ham for
Easter Sunday dinner.
For our soldiers the menu
called for half pound for each
man. The prisoner modification
here called for a third Of
pound for each German. The
ham. one officer said, was of the
quick cured variety, and had to
be used up at once. Another Of
ficer, granting this, thought that
good public relations would have
suggested using it on some day
other than Easter, when civil
ians were particularly conscious
of their inability TO obtain the
traditional meat for their own
tables.

Situation
Improves

WASHINGTON. May 25-tR)
The situation is looking up for
the thirsty.
Distillers have been released
from turning out industrial al
cohol during July. This will
mean more than $4,000, 900
proof gallons of beverage spirits
for warehousing, thus releasing
existing stocks for retail shelves.

the third since the industry con-
verted to industrial alcohol pro-
duction in October, 1912. Pro-
duction in each of the first two
in August, 1914, and January.
l945-exceeded 100000 proof
gallons.
Chairman J. A. Krug OF the
War Production Board said yes
terday in announcing the new
holiday that others might be
coming along from time to
time" He declined to be more
specific.
Krug said suspension Of Lend

cohol to Russia. and increased

Der, made possible the new holt
day.
Still unsettled is whether the
respite means anything for Bour-
bon drinkers.
The War Food Administration
has vet to decide whether there
is enough corn to permit using
some of it for Bourbon. None
was made in August, only limit
ed quantities in January.
A prohibition on the blending
or processing of imported cane
alcohol for beverage use, also
will be lifted July /, Krug said.
This ban was imposed to halt di-
version of Cuban spirits into

provided 333 pounds OF sugar
for the first half of April, for
each German, l.13.
For breakfast, the prisoners
had eggs every day but one,
while American soldiers had
eggs only nine Of the Is days.
The other days the garrison had
french toast, hot cakes or mush,
usually with bacon and always
with syrup. Three days the
Americans also had bacon with
their eggs. The Germans had no
bacon.
Every morning IT, Ameri-
cans had orange, grapefruit or
some other fruit. The Germans
had none. The prisoners some
times get this fruit at dinner -
an orange or an apple each of
eight days.
For dessert the Americans
have had ice cream four days,
with a variety of buildings, pies
and cakes. The Germans have
had no ice cream and little
pudding or pie; their dessert
usually is a stewed fruit, cake,
cinnamon roll or something of
the sort.
LESS VARIETY
The variety of vegetables serv-
ed' to the garrison troops is so
wide it would be difficult TO
summarize briefly, the Germans
have much less variety. The pris-
oners potatoes are cooked in the
simpler fashions-baked, boiled,
occasionally mashed; but for our
soldiers mess there is much
greater variety than most civil
ians can get in good restaurants
- french fried, pan fried. au
gratin,. escalloped, oven brown
ed, hash brown, lyonnaise, cand-
led sweet, parsley. creamed -
potato salad with the cold cuts.

content the prisoners menu is

maintain their health but also to
comply with the provisions of

At the outset our Army in
terpreted the Convention TO re-
quire that the prisoners be fed
identically with our base troops.
AS shortages developed and the
public became FESTIVE, this in
depreciation has been made more
realistic, until now it is the pro-

to worry so much about whether

a calmer existence and to try not to
worry.
1t was deeply gratifying to me
to receive a letter from her several
weeks later saying that her health
was greatly improved and she was
happier than she had been in years.
After her talk with me, she wrote,
she realized that she would never
be able to relax while separated
from her family, so she had re-
turned home and was reunited with
her husband and children. To COM
plete her happiness, she had been
asked to sing on a weekly radio
program.
High blood pressure means that
the heart and arteries are under
more than normal tension. 1t often
indicates there is something wrong
with the body which can be cor
rected. If not corrected, it may lead
to heart trouble.
The important thing to know
about high blood pressure is what
causes it. Certain diseases of the
kidneys may cause it. In that case,
the doctor will prescribe treatment
for the kidney and the blood pres
sure will take care of itself.
Among the most common causes
of high blood pressure are over
weight, worry and too much excite
ment. People in America are apt to
crowd too many activities in one
day. The result is they are always
rushing from one thing to another.
Soon they become nervous and
tense. An extra strain is placed on
the heart and the blood pressure
rises.
Everyone should have regular
physical examinations by doctor.
When he examines you, the doctor
will take your blood pressure. 1t it
is not normal, he will tell you what
to do.
The opposite of high blood pres
sure is low blood pressure. This is
seldom dangerous but it may make
you feel lazy and pepless. If you
are tired all the time and have no
energy, perhaps you should see a
doctor. Some simple exercise may
be all you need.

WATCH YOUR BLOOD
PRESSURE

The voice of a woman singing a
lullaby over the radio one night re-
Gently carried me back several
years to time when the singer had
been a patient of mine.
She was in my office one morning
when | arrived-a well-dressed
woman in her early 40's. She was
one of the most nervous persons l
have ever seen. All the time she
was talking with me she was play
ing with her beads or bracelet,
swapping or unsnapping her purse,
and her eyes were wandering all
over the room. She said she had
been unable to sleep at night, even
sleeping tablets helped very little,
and asked if ther was anything l
could do to help her.
Gradually, she told me her story.
1t was the story of girl with a
beautiful voice who had made hit
on the stage, had left the stage to
marry and have children, then had
grown restless and had gone back
to the footlights. For two years she
had been on the road most of the
time. Being separated from her
family, she was worried about her
children, whom she had left in the
care of her mother. She was also
unhappy about her husband, who
had objected to her return to the
stage, and she was afraid she was
losing her voice.
/ gave her a complete physical
examination and found there was
nothing organically wrong with
her. However, her blood pressure
was very high for a person of her
age. / was certain that the high
tension, nervous existence she was
leading was responsible for this
condition.
The high blood pressure was
warning to the singer that she was
living under too great a nervous
and physical strain. Travelling al
most constantly and working late at
night while, at the same time, wor-
rying about her family, she was not
getting the rest she needed and was
under constant tension. | told her
the sleeping tablets would not help
her and she should stop taking
them. What she needed was to live
