the latest scuttlebutt in the neigh
borhood. What can I do to pipe her

To me, you have no problem at all.
You can easily break her of that by
making her skipper of the house, in
sole charge, and completely respon-
sible for the welfare of her crew
Anything that goes wrong is her
fault. Make all your gifts to her of
a nautical nature. A parrot at
Christmas, book on knot-tying on
her birthday, and pair of second
hand skivvy shirts on your wedding
anniversary. She'll soon come
around. If she doesn't--well, mu-
tiny, throw her in the brig, and try
running the ship yourself.

7 either have to answer them OF

cooker. So, if you don't mind read
ing over my shoulder, I am going
to answer some of them.
Dear General: Your letter has
me misty-eyed. You say that you
are % years old, in the Air Corps
and that it took you a year and a
half from the day of your enlist
ment to become a brigadier gen.
eral. I know that that year and a
half took gteat deal out of you
what with having to change your
insignia so often. No wonder the
rumor that you soon are to be re-
duced to the permanent grade of
second lieutenant has made you
irritable, nervous, run down, un-
able TO digest your food properly
and subject to giddy spells. My
advice to you is to retire, gain the
love of some sweet, understanding
and very rich girl who can keep
you in the style to which you have
become accustomed, and spend your
declining years learning how to do
the things you missed while you
were a general, such as shooting
marbles, Skinning the cat. riding a
bicycle without touching the han
dlebars, and mastering the cap
pistol"
CT Haircut Hopes.
Dear Sir" writes a recently dis
charged infantryman, while in the
Army I developed a fondness for
the CT type of haircut. Since being
mustered out. have been unable
to find a barber who will give me
that sort of haircut. Do you know
one? If not, do you think I could
give myself the kind of trim l
Want?'
There are several ways of attain
ing the type of haircut this ex-
soldier desires. One is to go to the
nearest zoo and bribe the attendant
who cuts the names of the lions and
the coats of the yaks to work on
your head when he has finished
with the animals. Another way is
to shut yourself in a dark closet
and poke your head into an electric
fan that is turned to top speed
Still another way to achieve the GI
effect is to empty tWo-pound sack
of grain on your head, take seat
in Central Park, and allow the
pigeons and squirrels to give you a
working over. AS last resort, there
is e-enlistment.

.AIdermonic Plan Played
 By Mortino

The Board of Aldermen last night authorized City Treasurer Serge Be- langer to reinvest the $300,O00 in U. s. Treasury certificates that ma ture in June and now held by the city. The action ratifies a previous similar action by the Board of Ff- nance. The certificates are the < percent interest bearing type.
 The action was protested by An- thony R. Martino, co-chairman of the Legislative Committee of the Council of Community Clubs, who asked the sum be made available immediately for repairs of sidewalks and sewers.
 Majority Leader James M. Lynch replied such repairs are already pro- vided. for within the city's Six-year postwar plans. MT. Lynch also pointed out emergency needs of this nature would be provided for should the occasion arise.
 MT. Martino attacked the boards action as "a miscarriage of justice" funds so urgently needed by the taxpayers"
 The board met in a special ses- sion last night on the veterans hous- ing problems. CSee story, page one)
