THE FEMALE OF THE SPECIES
WAS KIPLING RIGHT?

There is no little evidence in the works of Rudyard Kipling that the gentleman was quite an authority on the other sex. In The Ladies" you'll recall, his spokesman cited cases and places in support of some interesting and valuable generaliza- tions about the members of that sex. In another even more enlight- ening poem he concluded, emphati- cally, that ''the female of the species is more deadly than the male"
 We do not care to go on record here as agreeing or disagreeing with Brother Kipling in the gen. erality of this proposition. But, spe- officially, we do have a very pointed question and we don't know the answer. In USO Quiz Contests is the GSO female more or less dead ly than the CT male?
 Or, putting it just a little diff ferently, after one of our service men has come to intellectual grips with GSO, whatll he mean when he says: And I learned about women from Grace Berg, or Mar garet Femmer, Shirley Kleweno, Mary Shaw, Jean Shaw or Mary Scott Gas the case may be-? that's what we want to know.
 As a matter of fact, we probably don't have long to wait for the answer. Next Tuesday night Girls Service Organization team of three picked from that squad, is sched- uled to meet a Soldiers Team, comprised of Roscoe Hoissen, from Medalia, Minnesota; John Oden- wald, of New York, N. Y., and Richard Peter, from Canton, Ohio. To be honest with you, these teams have already met. (We're not going to tell you who won in what was a very close contestD What turned out to have been only dress rehearsal for next week took place on Tuesday. It was in- tended to be the real thing, nc mere warm-up.
 The two teams were lined ur there at the USO mike and tht rest of the radio equipment wal in place. Starting time arrived the announcer did his good even. ing, everybody, etc, etc. and th' quizmaster trotted out some specia humor for the occasion. dedicated

And then just about tw minutes before the end of the pro gram, We got the word Sorry, bu you haven't been on the air a all. There's been a mechanical mix up at the studio.

 [ Don't fail to listen in Tuesday 1 at 7::30 p. m. over KINY. It's ."The Battle of the More Deadly Sex Versus the Less Deadly Sex sure enough. But which, we're still won- dering, is which?
 REVIVAL
 At one time in the life of our USO there almost always was a guessing contest under way. If a fellow wasn't wracking his brain concerning the probable number of marbles or beans in a large jar he was getting prematurely gray over the total mileage of many hundreds of sticks of noodles of various lengths, or he was puzzling himself as to whether the number of pinpricks punched into a large card amounted to 6,911 or 13,4o2- or many more or quite few less.
 Not that it proved anything. of course; but it did provide means of passing a few minutes idlenesS in idle speculation that eventually netted the winner several cartons of cigarettes, credit slips at the club canteen, etc.
 Looking back, it seems a mistake ever to have discontinued these contests. Anyway, they are being revived at once. We propose to present a new brain -puzzler every third week
 Starting today, you GI's and GSO's are being asked to tell us simply: What is the overall length of that string which is stuffed into that milk bottle reposing on the counter in the lounge? First prize, s5 in cash; second prize, two car tons of cigarettes: third prize, canteen credit slip for $l 50. The winners will be announced Thurs day, March p.
 NAMES IN THE USO NEWS
 If we had daily bulletin of local USO news published at our clubhouse, the issues of the past several weeks would have con- tained many names, names of the various people who contributed in one way or another toward making the Juneau club what we like to believe is something more than just another USO." To cite only a few of many examples: The names, certainly, of Chuck Metre, Merchant Marine Sailor, from Seattle, an excellent pianist, serving as the spark plug on Thursday night, after the dance had ended, for one of the hottest jam sessions heard at the clubhouse in many months q. and Shirley Romano, recent bride of Soldier Joe Romano, looking particularly beautiful at Saturday nights formal dance.
 And GSO Girl Jackie Schmitz, who is shortly to be leaving for the States and whose departure will come too soon for her many friends here who will miss her a lot.
 And Keith Reischl, the latest to visit us among the large number of Juneau servicemen now home on furlough, and among the best liked of all of them and Shirley Westby, one of the newest of the GSO members, already very with our fellows, proving helpful by her taking charge of the canteen for three hours beginning at Il D. m. each Friday.
