You can be sure moths will «crreat

For years larvex has been used by
the hig woolen mills. It's been proven
the safe, sure: way. Just a few minutes
spraying moth proofs woolens for a

CARTOON PUZZLE
What sort of soldiers are those in
the second picture of your cartoon
panel, "What’s Wrong?”? They
y Jim him..
What's wrong? Plenty
don't swing their arms when
marching!
Major F. Skeimer
Camp Ritchie, Md.
. . . The soldiers don't seem to be
.in step. The men leading the
column have their left feet for
ward whereas the men farther
back have their right feet forward.
George Porter

THIS WEEK congratulates
Readers Skeimer and Porter —
and the hundreds like them —
on their bright eyes.
. . . You say, “One artist spent
two weeks trying to track down a
detailed picture of an Egyptian
wheelbarrow, circa 3000 B.C.”
What luck did he have? Any?
The oldest mention of a possible
wheelbarrow known to me is credit
ed to the Chinese, no earlier than
the third century A.D., and that
is on uncertain evidence. None ap
peared in Europe until after
1200 A.D.
Skeptically,

Chinese and Japanese

The cartoonist did finally
give up — but he drew the
wheelbarrow anyhow.
SERIAL FAN
“No Other Man” by Alfred
Noyes has me intrigued. If there
is any possible way to purchase
the complete publication, I would
like to do so. _

61 ■ KID EX A6AIM
In your Letters column one of
your readers makes free use of the
word, “foreigner” in discussing
the article “GI Brides.”
With all due respect to our
beautiful American girls, my per
sonal opinion is that the word
“foreigner” should be abolished
entirely in respect to all human
beings.
And absolutely no race,'creed,
nationality or color of people
should be considered either higher
or lower than any other. All should
be absolute equals.

"CHIMP IMP"
The picture of the chimpanzee
sucking his thumb is one of the
funniest I have ever 9een. I have
Sure-cure Bertie
three children who look just like
that when they start sucking their
thumbs.
I should like to frame a large
picture for each child and place it
on the wall near their bed so they
could see how they look. Perhaps
it would cure them of the habit.
Mrs. A. W. Trout
