WE, THE WOMEN.
Pointers For British Brides Should Explain Double Talk
By RUTH MILLET

In Brides Guide to the U. S. A." ,, a booklet designed to teach the thousands of British brides of United States service men how to get along over here, there is this hint: "In America 1t is good man. ners to praise everything you like, whether 1t is food, furniture or the view from the window"
 But if the British gals are to hold their own with American wom- en they ought to be told most of the compliments American women pay each other aren't exactly what they seem
 My dear, how well you look k"-- means, of course, You've certainly been putting on weight"
 T love your hair this way: it is such an improvement" means Its a good thing you finally decided to do something about yourself.
 T think 1t is wonderful the way you do all you do and still find time for your family means "Ill bet your husband and kids never get a decent meal.'
 If I were just smart like you are means But thank goodness I'm not; men don't like smart women"
 You have such sweet little house" is meant to emphasize lit tie" rather than sweet"
 And I've heard so much about you' can't safely be conStruced as meaning 1t was all to the good.
 It's only fair to point out tc British wives that the lacish com plimentS American women pay each other aren't always 100 per cent pure admiration.

 He may cry because his band is too tight, his sleeves twisted, or the seams fhis clothing irritat- ing or chafing his skin All he wants is to have his clothing ad.. iusteu so that 1t is straight, loose and smooth under him.
 THERE'S A REASON
 He may cry because his diaper Is wet or soiled. Babies very quickly become sensitive to this discomfort. The diaper should be changed promptly and the parts sponged with clean warm water and patted dry. A little sweet oil rubbed into the creaSeS will help to relieve the irritation and keep the skin in good condition.
 The baby may cry because he is hungry or thirsty. He should have a bottle of warm boiled water between feedings if he seems rest less and fretful. Water is better for him than to have his feeding schedule broken by giving him a feeding whenever he cries.
 He may cry because he is in pain. Gas in his stomach and bowels may cause him to cry sharply and to draw his knees up to his abdomen. Holding him over the shoulder and batting him on the back until he bubbles" gas will often bring quick relief. If not try laying him on his stomach over a well-wrapped hot water bottle.

Tuesday, 5 June, 1945, was the day that the stork selected to brave his way through the plane-filled skies over the vicinity of Hartford to deliver his second bundle from heaven to the c. M. Westhaver family. Claire, two-anda-half year old daughter of ''West" and Mar garet, was joined by seven-pound, fifteen and one-half ounce Marsha Anne, whose enlistment began at 1915 at the Hartford Hospital.
 Captain o. P. Burt, Bradley Medic, was on hand to greet the long-billed bird and his precious cargo.
 "West", after long period of sweating, has started to smile again and is quite vociferous in his description of the Westhaver entry in 1863 beauty contests. Mrs. Vest haver is in the best of health and, at last reports, is eager to get out of the Hospital and start on the regular home routine.

the public eye was Burma, blonde and slangy number with hips like a boa constructor and a purple past. Burma has sashayed her way through the "Terry" strip off and on for the last 10 years, growing progressively more desirable.
 Another sensational Caniff lovely is the Dragon Lady, slo-eyed Eurasian, with a phenomenal figure and a background as shady as a back alley in the Casbah.
 Then there is the lady known as Lace, the GIs little playmate and heroine of Caniff's Male Call" strip. Lace, a home bred beauty with overtones of Lana Turner and Marlene Dietrich and undertones of Jean Harlow and Lauren Bacall, is the sweetest little dish on the TO to thousands of servicemen from Calcutta to Canarsie.
 The Man Loves Work
 In addition to producing Terry" and Male Call," Caniff, who was rejected for service because of a bum leg, has made a couple of major contributions to the war eff fort. He illustrated OCD manuals for M Day on how to put out in cendiary bombs before Pearl liar bor. When war came he did a full page on what to do in the event of an air raid. Later, he illustrated the Soldiers Pocket Guide to China and at least one of his "Terry" one in which Col Flip Corkin briefs Terry on the duties of an AAF officer, has found it's way into posterity through publi- cation in the Congressional Record.

By Camp Newspaper Service
 Milton Caniff (pronounced like a sneeze) is brown-haired 38-year- old Irishman who works seven days a week, 365 days a year drawing beautiful women.
 These women are incorporated in two of the most successful comic strips of our time, "Terry and the Pirates" and Male Call" "Terry" appears daily in 175 civilian news papers and the European and Ital- ian editions of Stars and Stripes. Male Call" is issued weekly to more than 2500 official service newspapers on the Camp News paper Service mailing list.
 The two strips are produced in glassed-in studio high in the Cat skills in Rockland County, NY, where Caniff may be found work ing every night. There, too, may be found Burma and Lace and April Kane and the Dragon Lady and the other comedy wenches Milton's quill and brush have produced 7. as we'll as the artists real life help CTS, his wife, his dog, his two assistants.
 He Talks with Either Hand
 He is an unusual artist in many respects. First, he works hard and loves it. Second, he does his own drawings, plots his own stories, writes his own dialogue. Third, he's ambidextrous. He plays golf, writes and eats soup with his right hand. He draws, paints and plays bil- lizards with his left.
 Canif started drawing beautiful women about the time the other kids in his home town of ,Hillsboro, Ohio, were drawing mustaches on streetcar posters. He pursued this passion through high school and four years at Ohio State University and later on the Columbus Dis patch where he worked until 1880. In 1882 he began an adventure strip, "Dickie Dare," and in 1884 ~'"Terry" was born.
 Terry" was a hit from the be- ginning. First, it was a spinetin- gling adventure strip, full of hair raising action and crisp dialogue. And, secondly, it was full of beau tiful danes. This combination put "Terry" over faster than pitch man selling lemonade at Malay Balay.
 . Burma Was a Lady
