Tlrii Cadet Gives One
Penny to Uncle Sam
IOWA CITY. IOWA.—A cadet’
stationed at the navy training
school here wasn’t going to miss
out on something for nothing
w hen he bought a post card.
• The post office reported ’ e
cadet had purchased a one-cent
government post card, cross and
out the printed stamp, and wro *
"free” on the card.
Postwoman Finds
Task Is No Cinch
But Is All Right for Woman
In Wartime.
VICTORIA, B. C—Yes, folks, the
*'b of postman is all right for a
woman in wartime but high-heeled
*-hoes are neither standard nor com
fortable equipment.
This is the view of Mrs. Florence
Blanchard, British Columbia’s first
woman mail carrier, who says she
enjoys the work and hopes to be
placed on the permanent staff in
due course. An attractive woman in
her 30s, she stands about five feet,
seven inches; weighs 140 pounds,
nas gray eyes and brown hair. Her
oostman’s cap becomes her.
“I always liked walking and meet
ing people.” she says. ‘‘l wore high
neeled shoes and blistered my feet
the first day, however. The second
day I put on flat-heeled shoes with
crepe soles and found it much eas
ier.”
Mrs. Blanchard admitted the first
10 days were pretty hard, with two
bundles of magazines and a bag of
letters a common load on her route.
It got better as she went along. She
was bantered by the men but the
women said they were proud of her
and “made it pleasant going.” She
had invitations to stop for tea but
had to express her regrets and keep
on. She encountered only one dog
that snapped at her.
Bom in England, Florence Blan
chard was brought to Canada when
she was three years old and lived in
Winnipeg for 12 years. Her hus
band, a shell-shocked veteran from
the first great war, died some
months ago and she has a 17 year
old son graduating from high school
this year. She has two brothers
serving in the present war.
His Grenades All Gone,
Major’s Rocks Rout Japs
MARINE HEADQUARTERS, SOL
OMON ISLANDS.—There are many
reasons why the Japanese failed to
reeapture the Solomons in a deter
mined 48-hour assault by land, sea
and air that started at sundown on
September 12, but here is one in
stance of bravery, coolness and fast
thinking that explains some of the
“whys.”
Maj. Kenneth D. Bailey of Dan
ville, 111., whose unit ran out of
hand grenades while in a front line
position and had nothing left with
which to blast the enemy from a
clump of bushes, picked up a hand
ful of rocks and pitched them into
the bushes.
The frightened Japanese—believ
ing they were being attacked with
delayed action shells—ran out in the
open, where the marines mowed
them down.
Bailey, who suffered a leg wound
August 7, twice was through
the helmet, the bullets grazing his
head. He killed the Jap who fired
the shots from a distance of eight
feet in the darkness.
Cadet Bales Out; Causes
‘Parachute Spy’ Scare
NEWBURGH. N. Y.-A parachut
ist spy scare near West Point was
cleared up by telephone after wit
nesses reported that a man leaped
from a plane.
The report was corroborated by
the public relations office at Stew
art Field, the academy's training
school.
But it was during a routine train
ing flight that Lieut. Joel R. Bar
ton Jr. of Sterling City, Texas, sent
his plane into a twist and ordered
Cadet John R. McNiel of Camden.
S. C., to "Get out of here.”
McNiel didn’t waste a moment.
He followed orders and bailed out
Both of These Ladies
Lose Battle of Glares
WILLIAMSPORT. PA.-Pat ience
hath its reward—so the saying goes
—but you can’t convince two wom
en who went dollar-day shopping.
Out of the crowd at the shoe coun
ter they limped—each holding the
mate of a pair of shoes.
Neither would give up her share
of the bargain and both sat down
to wait—and glare at each other.
Four hours later they were still
sitting—and glaring. The manager
came to the counter, took the shoes
off sale and replaced the regulai
price tag
The ladies left.
Tiny Mistake in Names
Causes Some Confusion
CAMP LEE, VA.—A stenographic
duty roster at camp headquarters
caused confusion when it read:
“Good Sadie Lee substituting for
Long Ruth."
The missing punctuation was sup
plied and then it was found that
Sadie Lee Good had taken over the
Saturday afternoon duties of Ruth
Long.
Eye Test Charts
Use of charts to test visual acuity
were inaugurated just a hundred
years ago in the ophthalmic clinic
at Darmstadt, according to the Bet
ter Vision institute. Prior to that
time ordinary printed matter was
used for reading tests. In 1862 the
well-known Snellen chart was devel
oped at the University of Utrecht.
On this chart each letter is de
signed so that it makes a five-minute
angle of light rays falling on the
eye, and the individual details of the
letter make one-minute angles.
Cotton Fertilizer Test
Southern farmers usually have
used 3-8-5 fertilizer mixtures, which
means 3 per cent nitrogen, 8 per
c ent phosphorus, and 5 per cent po
tassium. Experiments, however,
have demonstrated much better re
sults by using a 6-8-4 mixture. A
ton of 3-8-5 fertilizer applied to 3Vz
acres of land produced 3,250 pounds
of cotton; but a ton of 6-8-4 with
higher nitrogen content, applied to
a similar acreage, produced 4,079
pounds.
Vacuum Tubes Help
The currents produced by flowing
gasoline are so small that an or
dinary meter will not measure
them. To make these measure
ments in the field, it was necessary
to design an instrument which would
be rugged and portable, operate un
der conditions of severe vibration,
and yet measure very small cur
rents. The development of the mod
ern vacuum tube used in radio sets
made such a meter possible.
Filling Cracks
Fine hairline cracks in plaster
walls can be filled by mixing plaster
of pans with calcimine or a weak
glue solution. The mixture should
be fairly thin and is applied and
rubbed into the cracks with a large
size stencil brush. The larger cracks
should be scraped out, moistened
with glue size and filled with plas
ter of paris mixed wiffi the size.
When Sight Is Regained
Persons born blind with cataracts
are amazed at the largeness of ob
jects when their sight is restored by
removal of the cataracts, according
to the Better Vision institute. The
sense of touch in congenitally blind
persons gives little indication of
size.
A Crop of Jack-O-Lanterns
A children's idea of a garden is,
of course, a pumpkin vine with a
crop of jack-o-lanterns. One vine
frequently produces six pumpkins
in assorted shapes which can be
come the pride and envy of the
whole neighborhood.
Milk
r May milk production was at the
highest level for any month on rec
ord. The estimated milk production
for the month totaled more than
12 billion pounds. Much of the in
creased production was due to an
increase in milk cow numbers.
For Blackout Painting
British experience seems to fa
vor bitumen paints for blackout and
camouflage painting, tfse of sheilac
has been proposed as a result
of shortage of other materials and
developments in research.
Politics Out!
Party politics are out for the du
ration. Labor leaders sit in the cab
inet and on all important govern
ment committees. In the factories,
joint labor-management committees
w’ork out production problems.
Old Oil Used for Axle Grease
When greasing a plow with old
cylinder oil. sprinkle a little dust
on it. This prevents the rain from
washing off the oil, which then
serves the same purpose as axle
grease.
Cattle Feed
The drying of citrus waste, which
consists of the peel, rag, and seeds
from canning plants, for the pro
duction of cattle feed has become an
important industry in Florida.
Synthetic Fibers
An institute for chemical technol
ogy of synthetic fibers, the first of
its kind in Europe, has been opened
at the Technical college of Breslau,
Silesia. ***^Kiy P
Protected Interests
When Valparaiso fell into the
hands of revolutionists in 1891, the
American minister. Patrick Egan,
asked for U. S. marines to protect
American interests there.
Outfit Six Soldiers
The leather in a single steer hide
would provide all the leather arti
cles required to outfit six soldiers
for a whole year.
Small Percentage
Working time lost in labor dis
putes in Britain is less than one hour
per worker per year.
Mouton Coats
A woman's piouton coat contains
enough material to line a war flier’s
sheep-skin-lined jacket.

‘‘Oft hath even a whole city

She amount of $10.1*23.04 as of
and there are no maturities requiring
payment from this fund until July 1.

there will be sufficient cash to meet

Further we are informed by the

4>n January 1. 11*43 the provisions
of the 1042 United States Revenue
Act become effective.
Under these provisions municipali
ties will be held responsible for the
deduction or withholding, for Victory
Tax purposes, of 3 per cent of each
emplovee s pay- after a di*duetion of
an amount oqunlivalent to #<>24.00 per
year or $12.00 pci week, which money
must be turned over by the city to
the Collector of Internal Revenue at
the end of each quarter of the ealen
dar year. This deduction must be made
from any payment to employees after
December 31. 1042.
Therefore. I would respect fully sug
gest that you autolirize all payrolls
approved as of iHsemher 31. regard
less of earlier payroll dates,- as it
would seem unfair to deduct from
emplovees’ wages any tax on wages
earned prior to that date, even though
paid after l*ecember 31.
