This War Isn’t So Mechanized—
Animals Still Do Their Share
"GAY GADGETS"

Sometimes the highly mechanized service of supply of the U. S. army
finds it can do it better with animals. In Burma, for instance, Indian
elephants, directed by native mahouts, handle lavge logs used in military
construction. Here a big tusker pushes a log down the sloping bank to
the river. The timbers are lashed together to form large rafts, which
are floated down the Irrawaddy to Myitkyina. (Signal Corps Photo)
LOOK SWEETER IN
YOUR SWEATERS
t
Which side is winning in the siege
of the sweaters? Will the Sloppy
Joes stay in or will the fitted party
take over? They’re voting on it
in high schools, just as they went to
the polls for Frank or Bing last year
—and they’re getting nowhere in a
hurry, just as they did in the battle
of the baritones. We’re sticking our
neck out, but we predict a landslide
for the fitted party this spring. Here
are some of the teen tricks that will
make you look sweeter in your
sweaters, whether they’re stream
lined or teenlined.
Three-Letter Gals—No, you don’t
have to win them—you just embroid

Wise Parent Should
Watch Child’s School
Progress Carefully
As report card time nears, your
child is excited, tense—wondering
Vid perhaps worrying about what it
fill tell. How would you feel if you
<new you, too, were going to be
marked on that card?
If the teacher’s opinion as to the
kind of parent you are were record
ed, would you rate an “A” or would
you flunk?
Here are a few simple rules for
happier parents, teachers and chil
dren, from Better Homes and Gar
dens-magazine:
1. Uphold the teacher in whatever
she does until you know absolutely
that she is wrong. Investigate if
necessary. Do not discuss the teach
er’s questionable actions in front of
the children.
2. Occasionally a visit to school is a
necessity, but don’t barge in when
ever the mood strikes you. In
stead, send teacher a note or tele
phone her (not during school hours)
to find out the best time to come.
If she expects you, she will be
prepared and perhaps have sample
papers of the child’s work to show
you, and you will both gain more
from the conference.
ored sequins. You’ll be a dazzle
doll!
Down With Yonr Sleeves—Only an
ickie and a cold cut pushes up her
sweater sleeves anymore. You wear
them down and sometimes you hold
them in place with wide cuff brace
lets.
Genteel Jewelry—Where are the
powder puff faces and the maca
roni necklaces of yesteryear? Re
member how you used to clutter up
your sweaters with stuff and non
sense? Now you wear a set of small
silver animal pins or just some serv
ice insignia pins (if you’re lucky);
armfuls of silver bracelets and a
short strand of pearls. The one pop
ular exception to the wave of con
servation is a fur lapel pin, such as
that posy-smelling skunk, a jewel
eyed horse or a floppy-eared dog With
roly-poly eyes.
GOOD TASTE
How’s for more of our thrilling
filling ideas for party sandwiches?
Whether you’re giving a harpy hud
dle or an honest-to-goodness boy and
girl rat race, these are the slabs
they’ll drool over and remember.
Tropical Tempters — That’s our
name for cream cheese sandwiches
sprinkled with grated coconut. Bet
you never thought of that droolsome
combination.
Funny Faces—Girls like daintv
open-faced sandwiches, especially if
you decorate them with edible fea
tures. Use olive slices for eyes,
pimiento for nose and red pepper
strips for mouth.
Peanut Butter Plus—There’s no
end to the combinations you can
dream up with peanut butter as a
base. Try sprinkling raisins in pea
nut butter sandwiches. Try spread
ing bottled marshmallow goo over
peanut butter. Try blending mayon
naise with peanut butter. We hear
that strong men melt after one
taste.
TRIXIE TEEN S/IVS-
Gel your face out of that movie maza-
zine. Chick, and bury it in some nice, fresh
newspaper headlines for a change. II ae
are you going to feel when your T. D & H
comes back from his fighting stint and von
don’t know Saipan from Singapore or
Pearl Harbor from Paris? He’ll expect
you to know something about this war he's
won for you, so start headline hunting
now. Keep a scrap book of newspaper
clipping? to remind you of the big events
leading up to V day: follow our boys on a
map right into Berlin. There’s histors be
ing made all eround you—and you don’t
want to flunk out when the boys come
home.

Tell Teacher About It.
3. If through your children, you
learn of incidents going on in school
that you feel should be curbed, con
tact the teacher. She may be ig
norant of the situation, but willing
and able to control it when informed.
4. Study your child’s report card,
particularly the comments by the
teacher. The parent who is on the
job attends the next P.-T. A. meet
ing or plans to see the teacher at
school to discuss the situation. Com
bined home and school effort can
usually bring Sally’s wandering
mind back to the job or convince Joe
that getting along with others is a
necessary part of living.
5. When Nancy comes home with
a tall tale, listen to her, but don’t
fly into action before you know the
whole story. Any teacher is glad to
explain the incident if you don’t go
to school with a chip on your shoul
der.
Remember, children tend to em
broider events, but when faced di
rectly with gross elaboration are
likely to grin sheepishly and admit
their wrong. That puts you in a
very silly’position if you have rant
ed and raved. Better go easy.
Be ’All Dressed Up’.
6. When there is a school visiting
day, be there, and go looking like
a million dollars so your child will
be proud to say, “That’s my Dad
and Mom.” It boosts his value in
the eyds of his classmates no end.
Visiting days do serve a good pur
pose in that you see your child
in relation to others. You see the
children with whom he spends many
hours a day and the environment in
which he lives during those hours.
You will learn some of the newer
teaching methods and you’ll be able
to size up the teacher fairly well,
allowing for her nervousness in be
ing watched by a circle of critical
parents.

Big jars of cream save time and
money. Beating up your face
creams to a froth makes them
i “lighter” and last longer. A table
spoonful of cooking oil, beaten into
half a pound of cream, gives it a
real “beauty texture.”

It Looks Like Another Homer!
Your child’s teacher needs your
help but not your interference. She
wants to be his friend and yours and
to see him progress according to his
ability. You may be sure she
will do all in her power to further
that progress. Help her! ■
Once again American farmers are
expected to “knock one over the
fence” as they struggle to meet crop
goals for 1945. The War Food ad
ministration is asking for a 9,000,-
000-acre increase in planting this
year, for a total of 363,635,000 acres.
Biggest increase over last year
will be in flaxseed, up 64 per cent.
Then comes sugar beets—a 49 per
cent jump is being asked by WFA.
Cover crop seed production must be
boosted 42 per cent to supply urgent
demands, particularly in the South.
Farmers should go ahead with
their plantings, confident that a fair
return will be paid, WFA officials
advise. Adequate protection for
maintaining prices has been provi 1-
ed by law, should any unforeserti
decline develop in the markets.

Quite Obviously That
Was the Wrong Question
Two G.I.s on a day off were
strolling along a suburban road
outside London when they saw on
a hillside a building which said
over its archway “Hall of Re
membrance”—the British phrase
for crematorium. With usual G.I.
curiosity, one of them went in to
see what if was.
Moments later, he came flying
out. To the other’s question as
to why the haste, the investigating
G.I. replied:
“Darned if I know. I walked in
and there were a lot of people in
black standing around a pit from
which flames seemed to be
coming. Some of them were weep
ing. All I said before I got thrown
out was:
