Mobile Repair Units
Saving Many Tires
On Western Front
BY WALTER McCALLUM,
Star War Correspondent.

FRANCE, (By MaiD Tires are
scarce articles, and they're getting
scarcer near the snowbound western
front.
"Our main bottleneck is tires,
rubber tires" said Brig. Gen. Royal
Lord, deputy chief of staff to Gen.
Eisenhower. They wear out at an
enormous rate, and the needs of
war demand fast transportation on
rubber. We simply don't have
enough tires"
I visited several tire repair depots
behind the lines, run by the ord
nance department, European thea
ter OF operations, commanded by
Maj. Gen. Henry B. Saylor, 5000
block of Cathedral avenue NV,
Washington. There I saw tires of
all sizes and descriptions being re-
paired. Tires for those heavy tank
reclamation jobs were having whole
new sections put in, jeep tires, pune
tured by shell fragments, were be-
ing virtually remade, while truck
tires, their carcasses almost whole,
were having a new skin of rubber

put on them. The whole operation
Is mobile. The men move with the
machinery, and the machinery
moves fast.
Without Spares.
But, efficient as the job is, 1t isn't
enough. The boys up front need
that rubber I've seen trucks and
smaller vehicles rolling around
France without spare tire, and
I've seen them running on the
rim. They just don't have the rub
Der.
Long before D day, trucks and
Jeeps and other Army vehicles had
gotten a lot of wear in Britain, on
maneuvers and all sorts of missions.
And after D day they didn't get
any rest. The tires probably were
worn down about halfway when
D day came.
'We had only one mission at that
time" Gen. Sayler said. THE stuff
has to be kept moving. We had to
keep pace with the advance, and
the advance outran our rubber"
Sure, I've seen stockpiles of tires
piled high in the fields of France,
but every tire and every tube is
spoken for.
"a Hours a Day.
1t. Walter Williams of Washing
ton, is in charge of a mobile tire
repair unit.
1--WE handle almost any kind of
tire" he said. I'VE work "a hours
a day, on shifts, and we put out
around 80 rebuilt tires and about
100 rebuilt tubes every shift. But
We have received $4,000 damaged
tires in the past two months and
only about 10 per cent were repair
able. The others had to be junked.
The Red Ball highway, stretching
from the ports of Western France
to the battle lines used up a lot of
rubber. Trucks highballed it down
those roads through Valogne, Car
entan, Isigny and Argentan in an
endless stream, pouring the supplies
of war to the front. The Red Ball
isn't used much now, but when it
was going full blast 1t used up a lot
of rubber.
Now the cry Is for rubber at the
front. Our synthetic rubber pro-
duction, started with such ballyhoo
and high hopes, hasn't met require
ments Furthermore, if you listen
to the GIs who drive the vehicles in
the war zones, you'll find they don't
think much of synthetic rubber. ''It
doesn't stand up to this work." they
chorus.
This tire shortage could lengthen
the war and cost American lives.
For examples: A load of ammunition
starts from some port in Western
France or Belgium for the front.
Trucks, piled high, get under way
for the long haul. A large percentage
of them get through, but some get

POL1'S

Playing for the last times today at the LoeW-Poli theater is the grand show Sunday Dinner For A Sol- dier" and "The Fighting Lady"
 Starring Anne Baxter and John Kodiak, Sunday Dinner For A Sol dier" is a picture that you will not son forget, with Its humor, and TO- nance. Besides the stars there IS a fine supporting cast including Charles Winninger, Chill Wills, Anne Revere, Connie Marshall Bobby Driscon and Jane Darwell.
 The Fighting Lady," second hit on this outstanding program, film ed in Technicolor and narrated by Lieutenant Robert Taylor, is the story of an unnamed aircraft car rier, the lives of its men and the action 1t partakes of. Battles of Marcus, Kwajalein, Truk, Guam, Saipan, Tinian, and the Philippine Sea are all unfolded vividly in this exciting picture, the action in the skies and aboard the carrier.
 Starting tomorrow at the Poli theater is the fascinating new Metro Goldwyn-Mayer picture Ma tional Velvet"
 Starring Mickey Rooney and Eliz- abeth Taylor National Velvet" is the story of young girl who wins a horse at raffle and whose dream is to win the Grand National at Aintree, England teh most fam- ous, most grueling race of them all.
 Mickey Roney as Mi Taylor, an ex-jockey, is seen in a different role from his usual ones - this one is comparable to his role in The Human Comedy and gives his fin- est performance to date in it. Eliza beth Taylor as the young girl who wins the horse in the raffle, is superb in her characterization. There is an outstanding cast in- cluding such veteran actors as Donald Crisp, Arthur Preacher, Anne Revere, and Reginald Owen

STRAND

Closing a highly successful en- gagement at the Strand tonight iE the popular request return engage ment program of two outstanding hits of a few years back-"The Grapes of Wrath and Tobacco Road"
 BecaujSe of the extreme length of these two features, the Strand man. agement has announced that the starting time of the las complete show is 7:15 p. m.
 Drama, romance, thrills, and the gorgeous mujsic of Victor Herbert's greatest operetta blend with comedy and charm in Naughty Marietta, " which started a renaissance in musical pictures and which Loew'S proudly brings back for a return engagement. It starts a weeks en. gagement at the Strand tomorrow.
 The picture that introduced Jeanette Macdonald and Nelson Eddy to the screen literally made screen history,
 Bringing to life the romantic old Creole dys of New Orleans, and the love of a disguised French princess, seeking escape from a marriage of state, it is based on the stage success in which Smma Trent1ni and Orville Harold first starred. The dramatic side of the thrills adventure and perils of the period from laundering background for the glamorous music.
 Such song hits as 'Ah, Sweet Mys- | tery of Life" I'm Falling in Love

THE Chorus Girls Who Snub War Work Are Out Of Step
WE, THE WOMEN

have to stand on their feet in 8 war plant. Their chorus girl hours should have prepared them for working nights and sleeping days - as the girls do on the swing shift The keen competition they have known among themselves could be put to use in outshining other workers at turning out war material.
 LEARN NEW ROUTINE And as for handling the wolves around a war plant, it ought to be easy to put a fresh foreman in his place, when a girl has had to know how to outwit society's play boys.
 Besides, very few girls now work ing in war plants were suited for that kind of work" They just went ahead and learned 1.-the way a chorus girl learns a new dance routine And many of them are just as young and just as pretty as the average chorus girl.
 So 1t looks as though in shrug- ging off the suggestion that they might perhaps get into essential work for the duration the chorus girls are out of step-out of step | with the times.

If your Easter dinner party Is to be special, to welcome home Sol- dier, to announce an engagement, to celebrate an anniversary, or to honor some visitor, you, like so many other readers, may get 8 lit tie confused over the etiquette of setting 8 table. Here are 8 few simple rules followed generally in the United States.
 Use your best cloth of Irish H. nen or other fine fabric as sym bol of a gala occasion. Launder it immediately and iron without 8 wrinkle except for the crease down the center which is always allow able.
 For decoration, simple bowl Of yellow or pink flowers is all you need. Place cards, favors and nut baskets are not necessary. There is no hard and fast rule about folding and placing the napkins. II the first course is on the table when the guests sit down, the nap kin is folded and placed at the left just beyond the forks. Otherwise the napkin may be placed on the plate.
 Fork At Left
 Generally speaking. forks are placed to the left of the plate, knives to the right, with all han dles parallel and the same distance from the table edge. The butter knife, however, is placed on the bread and butter plate.
 All silver is placed in the order to be used. Beginning at the ex- treme left, first the fish fork, then the dinner fork and last the salad fork. Beginning at the extreme right beyond the plate, first an oyster fork or a teaspoon depend ing on whether a sea food cocktail or a fruit cup is to be the first course. But if the first course IS to be soup, the soup spoon comes first. followed by the fish knife and last the dinner knife nearest the plate. If there is no fisn course, just omit the fish knife ana fork.
 Finger Bowl If Formal

 pruned tree, shrub or vine. How ever, one pruning is not the answer; pruning must be a part of each springs program. /
 Pruning is recommended at plant ing time, too, since many roots are unavoidably cut off or injured In the operation. A certain amount of top growth must be removed to compensate for this loss. If such pruning is not done at transplant Ing time, a larger amount of foliage will develop than can be supplied with water by reduced root system As a result, recovery of the tree pr shrub is retarded, branches may die and the plant weakened.
 Method of pruning varies with type of fruit. Let us take an apple tree as an example. The ideal tree should have fairly prominent cen. tral leader, and sturdy, well-spaced branches (not opposite), of equal size and strong enough to carry g heavy crop of fruits without break ing, and with sufficient light and air available in the center of the tree so that fruits will be produced there as well as at the ends of the branches.
 A heavily branched and foliate6 tree is bound to produce fruits only at the ends of the branches, resulting in breakage from too much tip weight. Old trees develop growth of vigorous young shoots commonly known as water sprouts" They produce no fruit, act as rain on the tree, and should be removed.
 The most popular method of grape pruning is known as the four arm Kniffen system. Posts, six feet above ground, are placed eight to 10 feet apart, and two heavy wires strung between, the lower two and one-half feet above ground, and top about five feet from the ground.
 No pruning is necessary the first year the grape is planted. The next yearu the strongest leader is is selected and tied uprdight. The next year the strongest leader Is selected and tied upright. The Kniffen idea is to obtain four good branches which will grow on either side of the main leader on the two wires. These four branches are selected the third year, tied care fully to the wires. and cut back tc about eight to 12 buds. All other branches are cut off, except short branch bearing few buds near where each main branch joins the central leader, these short branches are to grow into the long branches which will bear fruit the following year.
 Grapes develop only one-year-old wood. After the four branches have fruited, they should be removed in the spring, to make way for the four new one-year branches which have been growing the past season.

 (This is the first Of two articles

 MT. l.. F. Yarnall of Ventnor City. N. J., uses a point count instead of honor counts for evaluating the high cards in his hand. He has taken the old Work count. which was an ace. four points; king. three points; queen, two points, and jack one point.
 After totaling up your point count, according to MT Yarnall, you now divide the total by four to determine the number of honor tricks in your hand.
 The point count for the above hand is three for the spade suit, five for hearts, and four for dia- monds, a total of 12 points. Divide this by four and with this system you now have three honor tricks as compared to two when using the honor trick count.
 When using the honor point sys- tenn, you must remember that every hand has a constant count of ten honor tricks.
