AFRICAN vIOLETs
From Mrs. B. P. M, Stluer Spring.
As further reminder to lovers
OF African violets, the Friendly Gar
dens in New Bedford, Pa, sent me
list OF their plants, with prices
and instructions for care. Their
prices are reasonable and the colors
OF the plants range from light blue
through purple blue, from pink to
plum red, white and bicolors. They
were sold out in the spring when l
wrote, but expected to have their
full list for sale this fall. They were
referred to me by the Ladies' Home
Journal, from whom I received their
booklet, African Violets as
Hobby" There are other names
listed. but the above is the nearest
to this vicinity.
(From Mrs. E. E. c., Hyottspiue.)
To Mrs. T. S., Washington: If
you will break a plant fertilizing
tablet into the water in which your
African violet pot sits, your plant
will bloom in very few weeks. Your
soil lacks something to feed the
plant. Same lack prevents leaves
from developing new plants. For
mealy bugs brush off with a soft
brush dipped In soapsuds, or clean
on with toothpick dipped In suds.
Use nicotine spray If these fail.

VENETIAN BLINDS?
iFrom Mrs. B. L. T., Washington
Can some one suggest how best
to clean my wooden Venetian shades?
We have recently moved into an
apartment and the shades, although
fairly new, appear never to have
been busted. I used a cleaning
wax on some Of them, but this is
a man-size job for IA windows. Can
they be dunked in the bathtub
without warping them?

SOAP OPERAS.
(Fronl P. M, RockUiue.)
To Mrs. c. S. c., Arlington, II
think you need not worry about
soap operas being taken OF the
air, because too many of us enjoy
them. While they are not consid-
cred extremely high-class programs,
they are better than most of the
movies that people spend their time
and money to see. I have the
equivalent Of a college education
and held a secretarial position until
my health became impaired. 1 do
not care for all the serials, but I do
enjoy some of them and I can
look forward to having some en-
tertainment each day. There are
plenty Of other types Of programs
on three local stations. Even II II
didn't care for so-called soap operas
I hope I'd be too broad minded to
try to deprive others of them. II
serials were not very popular, you
can rest assured that good business
men would not sponsor them!

LESS WORK!

The French Socialists had fixed on three days of work a week their aim. They wanted week end from Thursday through Sunday. The collapse Of France followed Leisure is desirable. All work and no play makes Jack dull boy Yet you run good thing into the ground Certainly there is tendency on the part of American labor to try the policy of less work Of course, the advocates of this policy vehemeny oppose what would seem to be the natural corallaryess work less pay If you draw an analogy the farm and the factory the less work idea makes a poor showing If the farmer plants fewer acres he cannot expect the same crop he would get from more acres. The fewer acres, the smaller the crop.
 At present America is hungering and thirsting for all kinds of thngs-silk stockings refrigerators new cars and new houses. Our needs multitudinouS. And we have the money to pay for what we lack. That is an unusual occurrence for usually needy

REVISE WEST POINT

l. Abolish political appointments to West Point and base them en- tirely on merit. There is no req son why we should still follow the ant:uuated idea that each Con- gressman is entitled to appoint boys to West Point as means of aiding his own reelection. The Army should be above politics. In- stead let West Pointers be chosen from the ranks of enlisted men as a reward for efficiency and devo- ton to duty.
 9 Award all commissions from the ranks, except in the case of specialists in wartime. Let every man go. in as private and let the best men get promoted on the basis of sheer ability, not personal drag
 2. After an officer gets his com mission, let further promotions be based on competitive examinations, not seniority.
 4. Give both men and officers the same food. even though served in separate messes, and improve housing for enlisted men.
 But above all, cut out the selfish favoritism and thoughtlessness practiced by some officers, which make enlisted men hate all off cers, including even the great ma jority of conscientious officers who look out for their men.

strong reasons why men don't want to stay in the Army. Mo- body is stirring this up except cer- tain officers themselves. Tbese off cers have it within their power to change this overnight. They need no legislation.
 They also have it within their power to revamp our antiquated system and build one of the best armies in the world. But conscrip- ton or no conscription, they won't have a strong army unless favor itism, personal political pull and the caste system are made as de- funct as certain types of pre-atom warfare.
 CAPITAL CHAFF
 Senator Owen Brewster, Maine Republican and a member of the Mead Committee, held cut to the end for Hugh Fulton as Counsel ot the Pearl Harbor Investigating Committee. Senator Homer Fergu- son, Michigan Republican who sits with Brewster on both the Mead Committee and the Pearl Harbor Committee, did not back up Full tons candidacy, although he did rot oppose it :. One common impulse of Red Army soldiers and American CHS is their fondness for leaving carved names where ever they go. CHS in Berlin have to hand it to the Russians for the thorough job they did in what is left of the Reichschancellory There, is hardly a square inch oi wall space which does not bear tht name and address of a Russian all the way up to the dome. Int Yanks can't figure out how tht Russians managed to write thei names on the ceiling and dome.

 HEART AND HOME
 Women should benefit greatly un- der the benefic influences of Venus. There are signs that seem to presage new political consciousness of Amer ican wives and mothers. Many will seek places in legislative bodies.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Organization of business and pro- fessional men will extend greatly this year. Campaigns in education will be promoted with good effect. To counterbalance labor unions, great civil associations will expand rapidly.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 A threatening sign seems to warn of propaganda to emphasize politi- cal, racial and economic prejudices and suspicious If the nation is to survive it must be melting pot in reality, the seers declare, as they foresee future perils.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
 Aspects of Uranus, Pluto and Nep- tune indicate the explosive condi- tions of the Middle East where in- ternal difficulties will retard diplo- matic negotiations.
 Compromises are dimly indicated but it is foreseen that the urge to independence can not be restrained.

morale is high. The conscripted French Army proved this in l940. Therefore, whether drafted or vol untary, what both the American public and the War Department ere basically interested in is an army of men not torn by sense of injustice and resentment.
 Most people don't realize it, but during the war the American pub- lie was shielded from many things that took place inside the Army. But the men inside the Army knew what was going on, though they could not write home about it. So now, with censorship over, they are not only writing home, but to their service papers, and generally blowing off pent-up steam.
 They have fought war to save the democratic system at home, and now they would like to see a little more democracy right inside their own Army. If we did not lave so intelligent an Army, there would not be this outburst. But the American Army today is the most intelligent we have ever assembled; in fact, the most intelligent in the world-bar none.
 Intelligent men make the best fighters. but also the best gripers when they think they have been wronged.
 Based upon thousands of GI. letters and talking to many men, here are some ideas which this col umnist believes might improve morale and efficiency inside the Army.

Cut out, for instance, the sys- tenn whereby Pvt. Karl Won Esche is refused admission for his wife to the Moore General Hospital in Savannah, N. c. His wife dies. Lieut.. John Bamberger's dog is ad- mitted to the same hospital at about the same time.
 Also cut out the system whereby Maj Gen. William Ord Ryan uses an Army plane to fly bale of hay all the way across the Pacific to iced his captive kangaroo; where by officers fly to football games while CHS ride day-coaches on the much more important mission of seeing their wives; whereby Colonel Soriano, the friend of General Macarthur and personal representative of dictator Franco, is able to fly three plane-loads of beer-bottle tops across the Pacific; and whereby the Pentagon- generals NiiopdISil OilC PiollC bO I iOl iNd AOi pompano, another to North Dakota for quail and a third to Texas for avocados and fresh tomatoes for the sole purpose of staging a fancy dinner for a British air marshal.

Hanford McNider.
 Finally cut out the system whereby enlisted men at times were given one helmet of water per day for bathing, drinking and laundry, but see the hose running all day to water officers gardens.

Former Officers and Jobs
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 Two young men have come to our office during the last few days Both were recently discharged from the Army both had been commissioned officers; both were casting around for civilian employment We tell you about them for theirs characteristic cases their problems the problems of thousands of other young men-and of the communities in which they live
 One of the lads-he was not yet 25-hcd held the rank of Major His responsibilities had been large during his years of service larger than those ordinarily entrusted to young of 25 in civilian life His pay too had been more than that commanded by recent college graduates His background of ex- perience while excellent from the standpoint of the Army, was not such as would impress employer in ordinary business life.
 The other boy had been First Lieutenant He too had carried considerable when he commanded Army bombers costing hundreds of thousands of dollars and of upward Of eight men. But he still youngster in college when he enlisted almost four years ago He had learned to fly and to fight But he'd learned little else to assist him in solving the problems of life which he must face
 Both these lads have good reasons for feeling that their country and the people who stayed at home are heavily in their debt They have good to hope and in a measure to expect-civiliap jobs which are on something of par with the jobs in which they so often rsked their lives But they should not expect nor hope to step immediately into such positions
 It may be unfortunate but it is true that youthful former Army officers returning to civil life must learn to take their places in businesses and professions exactly as they learned to take their places in the military establishment which brought victory to the Allies They must be trained to produce, as they were trained to fly and fight America owes them every opportunity to learn them every possible training opportunity But until they produce in peace as they produced in war they cannot expect earnings or responsibilities to equal those they recently left
