Many mothers all over America
are switching to this idea of get
ting fast relief for these chest cold
miseries. They are simply follow
ing Grandma. For years she count
ed on mutton suet to help carry her
home medication to do it's pain-eas-
ing work on nerve ends in the skin.
No wonder so many more now well
come Grandma's idea as improved
by science-Penetro, with its multi
medicated formula in a base con-
tanning mutton suet-that acts both
as counter-irritant and pain-reliev-
er when you spread it on, and as
soothing aromatic when breathed
in. And so today Penetro hurries
along newer help in the old reliable
way-help that eases painful mis-
cry, lessons coughing, loosens
phlegm, soothes chest rawness-so
that you can rest more comfortably
and give nature chance to restore
vitality. That's why millions are
switching to Penetro today-why
druggists are recommending it. 25c,
double supply 35c. For all your fam
ily's chest cold miseries, be sure
you get white, easy-to-use Penetro.

The street cars and buses were
simply packed with people. Some
even hung on the back. Sometimes
they fell off.
The streets were filled with auto
mobiles. This seemed strange to
US as we were accustomed to gaso-
line rationing and fewer cars.
Whenever someone drove past US
faster than usual or cut across at
a peculiar angle, our guide would
say, "He must be from California"
Some of the streets were crooked,
narrow, and for one way traffic.
Others, like the famous Paseo de la
Reforma, were long, wide and beau
tiful to drive along.
On our second day in Mexico City,
Mrs. Harvey and l went shopping.
Our guide suggested that we con-
suit him before buying jewelry,
blouses and leather goods as we
could purchase these things for
less at Cuernavaca or Taxco.
The better shops had beautiful
clothing and displayed a wealth of
silver and gold costume jewelry
such as Minneapolis plastic filled
show cases have not seen in many
years.
Having heard Mrs. Harvey and
me mention perfume, Juan left US at
delightful Chinese perfume shop.
We saw perfume from all parts of
the world and of every scent and
in every shape of bottle. We made
dash for Chanel number five. But
at IS to 100 pesos for a tiny bottle,
we lost interest. (Our money was
worth $3.50 in Mexican money to
$1.O0 in United States currency in
Mexico City,
Every time We parked on the
street, Juan would look up the uni
formed street attendant and ask
him to watch his car. When he re-
turned, he would tip the attendant
thirty-fve centavos.
Doesn't the attendant get any
salary?" I asked.
ooh sure" said our guide. "He's
paid by the government. He reports
any violations of the law. But if I
ask him to watch the car, then he'll
stay nearby and I can be sure that
no one will break into it."
Juan said that women clerks
averaged 80 pesos per week. Men
usually earned from $50 to 200
pesos per week. He pointed out
that people were paid in Mexican
money and according to the Mexi-
can standards, but the prices, they
paid for things were on the United
States scale. This made it hard to
make a living in Mexico. Things
were high in comparison with
wages.

While driving downtown, we
passed hearse. Immediately Mrs,
Harvey (Who is a licensed morti-
cian) said, Juan, want you to
take us to funeral home. You see
Pm in the funeral business in Jack
son, Mississippi"
Juan swung around and looked at
her with great surprise. Then he
laughed, shook his head and said
"Now
Later I learned that funerals are
strictly mans business in Mexico
Mexican women do not go to the
cemetery along with the mourners
as women do in the States.
Widows, particularly the Indian
women, wear deep black mourning,
They wear black from their head
scarf to their stockings and shoes
We saw many of them on their way
to the churches. So many, in fact,
that in our ignorance we once in
quired as to whether they were
some kind of religious group.
While downtown we saw a bride
in front of a photography shop
She was dressed in a long white
dress and wore full length veil
She was seated in wedding car
The car was black outside but up
holstered within with white silk and
decorated with white flowers anC
white ribbon streamers. 1t did not
take much to guess that this was
a wealthy bride!
We left Mexico City around noon
for Cuernavaca. Cuernavaca was
about seventy-five miles out OF
Mexico City and the capital of the
state of Morelos. Cuernavaca has
always been a fashionable resort
Here the wealthy Mexican has his
weekend relaxation. Here, too
came Lindbergh, movie stars anG
wealthy foreigners. Some people
came for honeymoons, others fol
divorces.

We dined at the Hotel Chula
Vista to the strains of soft dinner
music. had beef tenderloin, sweet
creamed carrots, salad, Mexican
fried beans, iced tea with fragrant
lines, lovely rolls with unsalted
butter and ice cream. Always the
waiter assured US that the food was
North American style. Maybe so,
but it had been improved on so that
it was delicious to taste and to
smell.
The Chula Vista hotel looked like
a Hollywood technicolor extrava-
ganza, with its contrasts of cream
stucco and red painted trimmings,
patios, blue-tiled swimming pool
and terraced lawn. Each step was
decorated with many colored mosaic
tile.
After dinner we went into Cuer-
navaca to shop. Juan took US to
the famed La Avenida del Guerrero.
It was the most fascinating street
I have ever seen. In some ways it
resembled Maxwell Street in Chi
cago but far more exciting.
The avenue began with the plaza
where the band was playing. AS
far as one could see, it was thick
with people of all kinds. On one
corner man was having his for
tune told. At least sixty people
were listening. The fortune teller
yelled the secrets Of the mans fu-
ture to all who cared to draw near.
In front of shop there stood a
painted clown. Juan told US that
he was there to entertain the people
so they would enter his shop and
buy.
Peddlers, beggars, lame and blind
people, townspeople and tourists
walked along this narrow street.
The shops showed everything
from the daintiest handmade and
hand-embroidered blouses to the
latest in silver jewelry. Coffins
were boldly displayed in one win
dow. In another, we saw Ritz
Crackers, and so it went.
Juan reminded US that we should
wait to purchase our silver later.
We bought blouses and shoes here.
In the plaza there were many
people. Here and there were pine
apple stands. The sliced pineapple
could be purchased by the slice. 1t
had lain in the hot sun so long that
it was sticky and golden yellow,
The air was full of the wine-like,
sun-cooked pineapple fragrance.
Hamburgers were also simmer
ing on open stoves. Everything
looked so tempting. Juan warned
US time and again to content our
selves with bottled coke and not to
touch the native fruit, food and
drink at these places, because it
would surely make US sick. 1t was
agreed when we left Monterrey that
Mrs. Harvey and I would never eat
or drink anything unless we asked
his opinion first. Only at the es-
tabished hotels would he ever say
eyes"
AS evening came we stopped
shopping and made ready to go on
to Taxco, Guerrero. Taxco was
located in the heart of the silver
mining industry. Again we went
up and up into the mountains, and
again I chewed gum furiously to
prevent that dreadful feeling Of
stopped up ears.
About nine at night we arrived
at the Posada De La Mission, where
We were to spend the night. After
a delightful four course dinner Zone
of which was of steak we drove out
to see the town of Taxco and to
shop at last for silver.

SOLDER, CIVILIAN TAKE pLUNGES IN CHANNEL THIS A. M.

Two unidentified men, soldier and civilian, slipped into the icy waters of Gastineau Channel along the Juneau dock early this morn ing while the Steamers Columbia and Denali Jay in port. They were rescued by crew-members of the Columbia, who in the case of the soldier, seem to have proved point concerning bowlines and fishermen's bend in rescue work.
 An Alaska Department soldier aboard the Columbia was reported missing from the ship at 1:30. A few minutes later, shipboard com panions discovered him flashing about in the water between the vessel and the pier. It was re- ported that he had slipped while attempting to return to shore by leaping from the ships rail to the dock
 At the time of his discovery, the soldier had been in the water several minutes. Officers making the rescue were in the midst of controversy concerning the relative value of a fisherman's bend and Q bowline for tossing out the life preserver when Jney leailzeu that the soldier in distress was no longer making splashing sounds.
 Hey, down there, yelled one of ficer If you're still swimming wave an arm"
 A second later, soldier was hastily dispatched down the side of the ship. Holding to the end of the bow line and the very wet soldier, the rescuer and his cargo were hauled aboard.'
 Later, dried off, rested, and ap- parently no worse for his experi- ence, the young victim of the early morning dip commented to his officer, a proponent of the bow line theory: Sir, I'm glad to have helped you prove your point
 Also fished from the water, ap- proximately two hours later, was a civilian. The man was observed to slip from the edge of the pier and was rescued immediately by Army officers. The Juneau Fire Depart ment was sent out when the em- ergency call man overheard was reported, but the rescue was ef- fected before the firemen arrived on the scene.
 Capt. Ted Frank, in charoe of the 240 military men aboard the Columbia enroute to discharge or reassignment in the states, made a last-minute check on all his men just before the 4 o'clock sailing time
 Now let's get out of here before we get logged in by men over board" he told the ships captain.

!, ASIDE IrOtI1 the personal anguish
which this delay will mean, it is
bound to raise clamor from mo-

less selfish, of those whose economic
situation is suffering from the neces-
sary delay in reinforcing our civil
ian manpower with the soldiers
whose services are no longer needed
but who cannot be moved back
home Immediately.
Before General Gregory, in charge
of the great housekeeping depart
ment of the army, the quartermas-
ter corps, left for France in antici-
patton of We Day, had long talk
with this gray-haired, fatherly man
who is loved by his comrades with
a warmth of affection that outglows
the well-earned stars on his Shout
der-strapS.
When I talked to him about re-
deployment, although he is respon-
sible for the physical rather than
the moral welfare of the soldier, it
was of the latter of which he spoke
first.
How are the folks at home going
to take it? That was the question
on his tongue, just as it had been in
the minds of the high officers and
officials with whom I had talked be-
fore.
learned a lot from General Greg
DRY and his aides about the tremen-
dous industrial effort which it takes
to produce what the army wears
and eats and with which it is shaved
and laved and sheltered. AS long as
there is a man in uniform he must
be fed and clothed and furnished
supplies from helmets and raincoats
to socks and shorts to say nothing Of
a thousand odds and ends including
writing paper, soap (they have
kind that will serve to wash clothes
as well as bodies, and shave with
| too, and lather in salt water), tobac-
CO, bug-powder, cigarettes, band
ages, shoelaces, razor blades.

Thousands of men clad in woolens
required by European weather will
have to be supplied with cotton for
the tropics. Thousands moving from
the tropics toward the more north
erly ATTITUDES of the japanese is
lands and China must have woolens
| tn renlace their cottons.
Another factor is the length of the
Pacific "pipe-lines'-the great dis
tances from base to front. The
"turn-around' time of the voyage
of ships is longer than the voyage
to Europe and there must be enough
supplies at hand for the troops to
cover the period between each de-
livery.
All this will require continued
manufacture by private industry for
military use for a long time which
means that much longer to wait for
| final conversion to civilian produc-
ton.
This is why this new word ''re-
deployment'' is not happy one and
why it holds within it so many head
aches and so many heartaches
which will try the coolest heads and
! strain the stoutest hearts.
