''5T0RY OF GI JOE" FEATURE
 BILL, CAPITOL

The late Ernie Pyle, ace war cor respondent whose syndicated col umn was enjoyed daily by some 40,- 100000 persons, had more women readers than men, recent nation- wide poll has revealed His fan nal had mounted to film-star propor- tions by the time he lost his life last spring while trouping along with an advanced American patrol unit on a tiny island on the Pacific battle front.
 Pyle was aware of this unusual feminine interest and discussed the matter with Producer Lester Cowan when the latter was preparing to start work on The Story of CT Joe,' the film based on Pyle's writings and which is currently being re- leased by United Artists and opens at the Capitol Theatre Sunday.
 Ernie told me that great numbers of his feminine readers appeared to have taken something of q motherly interest in his welfare" MT Cowan related recently Let him mention in his column that he was suffering from a bad cold and immediately he was deluged with letters from his women admirers containing recipes for their fayorite cold remedies. Some went so far as to mail him sample of the remedy itself.
 With this thought in mind" CoWan continued, "I decided to make e. I. Joe a woman's picture to whatever extent seemed permissible, I've done my best to make it re- semble an hour -anda-half visit with the boys on the battlefront. That was what Ernie thought they liked about his reports. And 1 think I have eliminated from the picture a majority of those factors which render the average war picture a little bit distasteful from the wom- ans viewpoint"

There's theory going around among our better amateur psy- chologists that you can read a woman's character and occupation by her handbag.
 If her bag is small. neat and dainty, for instance, it's safe bet that she's the feminine type, and not in the career-girl category More likely fastidious house. wife.
 If she Jugs a shoulder bag about the size of a small trunk, she's a business woman, who likes to car " her own filing system with her.

G| Families Happy
lover First Christmas
lin Their Own Homes

It will be a happy Christmas to-
morrow for the 108 veterans and
their families who moved into the
Sligo Parkway Veterans Housing
development, near Silver Spring,
last fall.
AL the veterans are married and
most of them have one or more
children, but few have ever had a
house before.
They came from crowded rooming
houses, apartments in which two or
three families lived in several rooms
and from the homes of their in
laws.
Today they are busy trimming
Christmas trees, festooning their
tiny living rooms with holly and
tinsel and bringing cheer to their
plain G.. I. frame homes.
Crowded, But It's Home.
Most of them were in this country
last Christmas, although few were
awaiting transportation home from
overseas and a few had not finished
with the demobilization centers.
1--WE were living last year in two
small bedrooms and a kitchen Mrs
Hoffman Dodson, wife of former
Army Air Corps private, said. 1--WE
did not even have living room o.
dining room Where could you pu
Christmas tree in such place?
The Dodsons have three children
ranging in age from years to i
months, so even now they an
cramped for space.
But we are very happy here,
Mrs. Dodson hastens to explain. "It'
the first home we've ever had. q
yes, the place is a little overaeatet
and stuffy, and it's ankle deep II

we're too busy moving to think

will be spent in quiet individual OBJ

The development is still growing
and within the next three weeks z
more units will be ready for occu-
