which we think will be of inter

Dear Ben:
Just a few lines to let you
know that _.I am still in Fort
Douglas and getting along fine.
Getting your paper every Mon
day and sure do enjoy reading
the news from the home town.
Am now a member of the Fort
Douglas football team and am
- getting some real roughing up.
We have played two games one
a 0-0 and the other one 6-0 vic
tory. It is a good rough game
but if you can take it, is fun- In
two weeks we are going to make
a trip to Pocatello, Idaho when
we play the Air Base there. Just
for an example of the size of our
team the line averages 216
pounds and the backfield 191
There are big men in Fort
Douglas.
October 8. I received my first
promotion. I was promoted-to
Private First Class- Am still
doing the same kind of work and
am enjoying it so I guess there
is no reason for me to complain.
As for the weather, well, it has
been pretty good. Today it is
raining and already turning to
snohv. I guess w'e can expect
most anything this time of the
year. Anyway I'm used to snow
6a it won’t bother me. We have
a lot of fun with the Californians
around here when the sub-zero
weather comes- They are already
wearing overcoats. However I
guess everyone can't be fortu
nate and be from Montana-

. other day who knew John well,
in fqpt John was his Ist. Sglt. for
many months.
Np, Grace. I won’t be needing
anything for some time to come.
My aunt sent a lot of under
wear. I think it made hep very
happy for me to send for it as
she has been trying for years to
get me to wear it.
Oh yes, you asked about our
uniforms. We don’t wear white.
We have a brown and white
seersucker uniform and cap. It
does not have to be Ironed which
is fine a we just have the old
fashioned irons that we heat on
our stoves On Christmas day
we’re allowed to wear white—
that^ will be THE day.
One thing we were happy to
find and that is bathtubs. Of
course they are about a block
away from our huts and there’s
no heat in them, but its. strange
how one can adjust themselves
to anything when It Is necessary.
Our food Is quite good and there
is no waste whatever—not even
a crust of bread. At first we
couldn’t seem to get enough to
eat but now our appetites are
dwindling, thank goodness..
The English people try so to
make It pleasant for us—
They’ve indeed had many hard
ships. I sometimes feel guilty
with my sheer hose and our new
uniforms are really lovely. How
they do stare at us. For their
hose are so coarse and heavy
and shoes re-soled many times,
and their clothes are patched but
alway near. Practically every
thing they have to buy with
coupons—you can’t even buy a
hankie without one and a coupon
to them is almost priceless.
Golly, I'm really wound up
and -this isn’t getting my rounds
made. Hate to thinje of going
outside to the other wards.
Again I want to tell you how
much I appreciaate your grac
iousness and will always be
looking forward to the time
when I can go back to see you
all again.
’Bye now and lots of love,
Mary De La Hunt

Jap Legend Says Isles
Populated by Goddess’ Kin
According to the "Kojiki" and the
“Nihongi,” two legendary histories
of Japan written in the eighth cen
tury A. D., the Japanese islands
were created by the union of two
deities, Izanagi (the male-who-in
vites) and his younger sister Izan
ami (the female-who-invites). Be
tween the two they not only gave
birth to the Islands but produced
numerous gods and goddesses who
inhabited them.
Amaterasu Omikami, the sun-god
dess, after a series of quarrels wath
her brother, decided to populate the
“land of reed plains” with her own
brood. So she sent her grandson
with the command: "This reed-plain
land of 15,000 autumns of fair rice
eaters is the country over which my
descendants shall be lords. Do thou,
my august grandchild, proceed
thither and rule over it. Go! and
may prosperity attend thy dynasty,
and it shall, like heaven and earth,
endure forever.”
From this divine brood came Jim
•mu Tenno (the cbvine-warrior heav
enly-emperor) who allegedly ascend
ed the throne on February 11, 66C
B. C. The dynasty thus founded is
supposed to have continued for 26
centuries, through a line of 124 em
perors and empresses, down to Hiro
hito, the present incumbent.
Price Increases General
Through World Since 1939
During recent years, commodity
prices in all countries have shown
an upward trend although the move
ment has been somewhat erratic.
A recent study published in the
League of Nations’ Monthly Bulle
tin shows that the index of wholesale
prices—on the basis of January-
June, 1939, as 100—was 135 in the
United States in the middle of 1943.
and 137 in Canada.
The price index in Great Britain
was higher, standing at 166, but the
indexes in the other British countries
showed smaller increases. The in
dex of wholesale prices in the Union
of South Africa in the middle of 1943
stood at 149, that of New Zealand
at 145. and that of Australia at 139.
In tlie various Latin American na
tions, prices have shown a more
pronounced rise from the prewar
level than in the United States or
in Great Britain. Thus, for exam
ple, the index stood at 205 in Peru
and at 198 in Argentina and Chile in
the middle of this year.
Irritating Light
Raw. irritating light is harmful tc
the eyes, and glare can usually be
avoided through the use of deep
shades with broad bases which al
low the light to spread out over a
wide area. Small shades with
straight sides are light hoarders, so
replace them with larger, more
open-type ones if you can. Raise
small, squatty lamps to a height of
18 to 20 inches by setting them on
wooden blocks, then fit them with
larger shades that have sufficient
diameter to permit a good spread of
light.
Lighten dark-colored shades if you
possibly can. Parchment or paper
shades can be painted on the inside
with a good white liquid shoe polish
or with a quick-drying white paint
Sometimes it is easier to renew a
darkened or discolored shade by fit
ting it with a new lining cut from
heavy white paper. To do this, use
the shade as a guide, rolling it slow
ly while you trace the pattern on
the paper. Cut out the lining, trim
the edges slightly and fasten it in
side the old shade.
Web of Streamy
The Pripet region borders the slug
"gish course of the Pripet river as it
flows eastward across the prewar
boundary between east-central Po
land and the Soviet Union. It covers
an area of 20 to 30,000 square miles,
roughly the size of West Virginia.
An intricate web of streams,
canals, lakes, pools, swamps and
swamp forests marks the Pripet
country. It repeatedly has been a
strategic area in wartime. In 1015
the Germans were halted at its west
ern edge. Later the Russians
launched from the Pripet marshes
one of the most successful and
dramatic counteroffensives of World
War I.
Soldier’s Fare
In terms of meat, a soldier eats
400 pounds of hogs (live weight), or
500 pounds of broilers or fryers, or
550 pounds of beef cattle. He needs
a case of eggs, or about 30 dozen;
45 gallons of milk, or a pint a day;
and 52 pounds of butter. As to po
tatoes. it is 4*,a bushels of Irish po
tatoes or five bushels of sweet po
tatoes. Give him 260 pounds of fresh
and canned vegetables, 230 pounds
of tomatoes or citrus fruits, and 100
pounds of other fruits. Grow about
3’4 bushels of wheat for him be
cause it takes this amount to fur
nish him witli 234 pounds of bread.
Coal Into Robber
The commercial conversion of coal
into rubber is no more fantastic than
its conversion into beautiful dye
stuffs, pharmaceutical chemicals,
explosives, and plastics. There arc
several different kinds of synthetic
rubbers. and it Is possible to make
ix r., all fruhr co;.l
