BY THE HASKIN SERVICE.

@. Was Gen. Marshall due to be
retired in 1944?-H. K. S.
A. On December 4, 1914, the late
President Roosevelt signed a bill per-
mitting Gen. George G. Marshall,
Chief of Staff of the Army, to con-
tinue on the active list for the dura-
ton of the war and six months
thereafter. Gen. Marshall became
"a on December 81, 1914. Without
the legislation he would have had to
retire on that date.
@. II man in the service is
separated from his wife, will he be
obliged to provide for her support
as we'll as for that of his child?-
J. T. E.
A. The family allowance is not
payable to a wife legally separated
from her husband unless the court
provided for maintenance or sup
port.
@. What is the origin of the word
derrick "?-P. r. I.
A. Derrick was hangman at Ty-
burn, England, in the 17th century.
His name soon became a synonym
for gallows and subsequently was
applied to hoisting machinery in
general.
@. Is 1t true that some of the
finest garnets found in New Mexico
are brought to the surface by
ants?-S. N.
A The Bureau of Entomology says
that some species of ants, in con-
structing their nests, bring stones,
pieces of fossils and any small, loose
object to the surface of the soil
S. A. Northrop in Minerals of New
Mexico, B. 379, Univ. of N. Mex,
Geol. Ser. 6, No. l, 1912, says that
garnets are brought to the surface
by ants. These garnets are small
and are of no commercial value.
@. What American bird lines its
nest with snake skin?-W. E. r.
A. There are several American
birds which use snake skin in their
nests. This is not exactly used for
the purpose of lining them and, in
fact, the exact purpose cannot be
accurately guessed, though it may
be with an idea of adornment. The
great crested flycatcher always uses
snake skin and the tufted titmouse
often does.
@. Can boy of II, graduate of
high school, enlist in the Navy to
become an airplane mechanic?-P. P.
A. Two programs for which he
might qualify are open now: The
VS., which leads to pilot training,
and the CAV-6, which is for combat
aircrewmen. Training in the CAV-6
program is primarily for gunners.
1t includes some mechanics and

How Many Postwar Jobs from Coal?

w THAT OPPORTUNITIES will there be
