FEMALE PEACE ORGANIZATION WOULD . . .

Sen. Margaret Chase of Maine
proposes that the women of the
world form their own United Na
tions or other peace organization.
Why not? Even if they didn’t get
peace the fighting would be easier
on the eye. An international debate

NIGHT
T iANK God for night, with its gnu gift
of sleep.
More wonderful than ail His gifts to men!
For Sirs that walk the dream ways, and that keep
Their wide-eyed watch until dawn breaks again.
Thank God for blessed silence down the land.
More soothing than the drip of summer tain;
For darkness, soft and cool as some dear hand
Laid on a forehead feverish with pain.
Oh, only those who carry sleepless scars
Can know how sweet sleep is that comes at laft;
And only the eyes that have looked long at ftars
Have learned night’s secret as it marches paft.
Have learned to know how quiet God muft keep
To guide an earth through Sars that men may sleep.

somebody who could at least bake
a cake.
•
No matter how deep the
planet’s faith in those men dele
gates ever got there was al
ways the realization that they
really didn’t know how to re
place a lost shirt button.
•
It seems to us that the men might
well be called off the peace job
and the women sent in. In four
years the men haven’t even made
anybody turn around and look at
them. Not a delegate has had a
song written to him. There hasn’t
been a heartthrob in a carload.
U. N. has no glamour. For one per
son who can name the head of the
organization 1,000 can name the
young woman who was Miss Some
body’s Beer for 1948.
«
If the women formed a peace
organization, took over U.N. and
sent the men home to look after
the kids, put out the cat and do
other things not subject to the
veto, the peace movement
would immediately acquire im
mense affection and devotion.
Maybe what the world needs
Is a League that can be whistled
at!
•
We can see swift results. A fe
male U.N. would get a bigger play
in all the newspapers and maga
zines. It would probably make the
cover of Life. It would even make
television, which is the ultimate
goal these days. Whenever interest
in the organization tailed off the
delegates could be photographed in
beach attire or endorsing a girdle.
«
A woman’s United Nations would
solve the Gromyko problem pronto.
There has never been a time when
one woman could veto 1,000 other
women and live.
_ • —
What can men do when the
world is ornery? Nothing. But
in a showdown the women could
get what they want merely by
flashing a two-word message
to all women everywhere:
“Stop cooking!’’ And they could
follow that up with an order to
the girls to refuse to answer the
universal question, “Where did
you put the aspirin, Nellie?’’
— o —
To cap it all they could say, “Not
a bed will be made or a sock
washed until the armies of the
earth disband.”

Gangway for the ladies! They
will know the right perfumery. And
if, by any chance, they muddled
things up even more, the muddle
would at least have that certain
something.

CUFF STUFF
President Truman threw out the
first ball at the opening of the
baseball season in Washington. It
was a Blair House twister with al
ternating altitude and depth, and
everybody can now understand why
he feels control is so mandatory to
the American system.
• • *
Can you remember away back
when the flags in a college student’s
room did not include picket
banners?
• • •
The Blair House, now occupied
by the president as a temporary
White House, has been piped for
music from a corporation render
ing this service to hotels and res
taurants. Does this mean Mrs.
Truman and Margaret are in an
all-out move to discourage Harry
at the piano?
• • •
Elm trees a half century old
have been carted in from the coun
try and planted along Fifth ave.
We feel sorry for them. It’s a little
late in life to start afresh in New
York. We saw one of the trees on
a truck preparatory to planting and
distinctly heard it moan, “New
York is all right for a visit, but
I’d hate to live there.”

POOR SHOT
By INEZ GERHARD
J IM AND MARIAN Jordan had
been in and out of small-time
show business for several years
when a $10 bet landed them on the
radio. They were visiting Jim’s
brother in Chicago when Jim re
marked that he and Marian could
do a better job of singing than any
one on the radio program they were
listening to; Jim’s brother bet him
$10 they couldn’t. That was a lot of
Fibber and Molly
money to the Jordans then; they
showed up at Station WIBO, and
landed on the air. Five months
later the radio job ended, and they
went back to vaudeville. It was
not until later that they became
“Fibber McGee and Molly” in one
of radio’s top ranking radio series.
The
Fiction POACHERS
Corner
By
Richard H. Wilkinson
Dr. Henry Darlington, Rector of
New York's Church of the Heavenly
Rest, recently appeared as family
counselor on “The Second Mrs.
Burton.” Listening to the singing
commercials, he remarked, “If
churches used a device as catchy
as this, I could guarantee standing
room only.” No doubt he went
home and asked the cook to try
those 'even delicious flavors.
Burt Lancaster is back In the
circus; he finished “Rope of
Sand” and beaded for Lonis-
ville, Ky., and the Cole Broth
er’s circus, to do an acrobatic
act with bis former partner,
Nick Cravat; will appear with
It in 26 cities.
Howard “Sam Spade" Duff re
lived a scary experience when he
and other members of the “Part
ners in Crime” cast were flying
to Universal-International’s loca
tion in Tucson. The plane shook
violently, and one engine went dead.
Finally landed on the remaining
three. When he was in the South
Pacific during the war. Duff was
in. a plane that encountered severe
headwinds, threatened to run out
of gas. He admits that he was as
scared as anybody else, but he
took out some cards and started a
poker game.
I T HAPPENED that young Glen
Lloyd was the only warden on
duty when Chief Fred Mather re
ceived word that poachers were
doing a wholesale business in
moose meat up in BirchUl county.
Glen was a rookie on the job. As
yet he’d had no contact with either
the hardships or the dangers of a
north woods game warden. Chief
Mather decided to use discretion.
“You go up there and do some
reconnoitering,” he told the youth.
“You’ll find a
base camp un-
3 'Minute der a cliff near
Ciotion the headwaters
Fiction of the Beaver
Make this your
headquarters until Warden Loomis
arrives. He’ll tell you how to pro
ceed.” Chief Mather drummed with
his pencil. “Don’t take any chances,
son. I’ve an idea that Moe
Stanford’s behind this ring. He’s a
bad actor.”
Glen reached the base cabin two
days later. The ground was cov
ered with a six-inch fall of snow
Glen waited two days more and
then decided to take matters into
his own hands. Armed with his ser
vice pistol and a flashlight he con
cealed himself near the tote road
on top of a ridge where the prog
ress of the truck would have to be
slow. It was bitterly cold and a
brisk wind was blowing. Also there
was the promise of snow in the air.
Midnight came and went and
Glen’s spirits ebbed low. Cursing
himself for delaying action, Glen
was about to quit his hiding place
when he heard distantly the roar
of an automobile motor.
He waited until the driver
was shifting gears for the final
pull, then stepped out into the
glare of the lights. He held his
gun in one hand. The badge on
his sheepskin coat was plainly
visible.
Instead of stopping, the driver
bore down on the accelerator. The
truck roared straight at the war
den. Glen stepped to one side, bare
ly avoiding being hit, and as the
heavy machine lumbered by he
swung himself onto the running
board. He clung there perilously
for a moment, then something hit
him on the head, he heard an angry
curse, and went spinning of into
space.
Fifteen minutes later he emerged
on to the same tote road where it
doubled back on itself. The lights
from the truck were already sweep
ing up the incline.
G LEN CROUCHED behind a
boulder, glad that the darkness
was so intense. He waited until the
truck had crawled by, then ran
after it He caught the tailboard
and hoisted himself up. Two men
were standing up front, leaning
over tjie cab. The noise of the motor
had drowned out sounds of his ap
proach.
Reversing his service gun, Glen
crept up behind the men, felled
one of them and grappled with the
other. The scuffle was short-lived.
Taken completely by surprise the
poacher was at a disadvantage.
Stunned by the blow which he tried
to dodge, he fell against the cab
and slumped to his knees when Glen
struck out a second time.
The warden handcuffed the
two men to an upright in the
truck, then approached the cab.
There was a small window in
its rear. Through this Glen
thrust his gun, splintering the
turned to find themselves star
ing into the gun’s muzzle.
Warden Loomis, trekking north
ward to join young Glen Lloyd, was
astonished to find a truck on the
old tote road. The truck stopped
and a friendly, boyish voice greeted
him.
“Hi, Joe,” Glen yelled. “Put
some bracelets on these birds in
front, will you? My hand’s so stiff
from holding this gun I can’t move
it—let alone pull the trigger.”
When Chief Mather heard the
story he wrote a personal letter
to Supervisor Herrick, compliment
ing the supervisor on his choice of
men.

several times under a sprayed
solution of the new chemical, and
then is rolled under an air stream
until dry. The test comes the next
day in another cage with 20 stable
flies. If as many as four of the flies
succeed in attacking the mouse
without being driven off or
poisoned, the chemical is not re
garded as worth a full scale test
on a cow. This is the first time
white mice have been used in just
this kind of experimental work.
Federal entomologists are search
ing actively for a spray that will
protect animals from attack by
stable flies and other blood-sucking
flies and mosquitoes. Recent ex
perience has proved abundantly
how profitable it is for farmers to
protect cattle from the torment of
“fly time” and thus avoid the sum
mer slump in milk production and
gains in weight of animals on
pasture.
This search calls for trials of
hundreds of chemicals. Many of
these are new synthetics.

Answer to Puzile Number SS
Pelting rains may be a soil de
stroyer rather than a farm blessing
unless your land has a protective
"umbrella” over cover crops.
Beating rains on hare land break
the surface soil into small particles.
These particles quickly fill tha
pores of the surface soil. The sur
face forms a hard crust. Water
cannot soak in. Instead, it runs
ever the surface. The farm land
then suffers a double loss. It loses
needed moisture for crops and it
loses valuable top-soil.
The Middle West soil improve
ment committee suggests these
steps for protecting your soil and
giving your crops better use of
the rains you get:
1. Use a cropping system that
gives your soil as continuous cover
as possible throughout the year.
2. Thick - growing grasses and
deep-rooted legumes give the best
cover.
3. Small grains following corn
help keep the land protected.
4. If winter wheat or rye is not
feasible, a good covering can be
had by mashing down com stalks
or soybean tops.
Legumes like alfalfa and sweet
slover prevent washing away of
loiL Their prying taproots open the
soil so rain soaks in and is held
for crops. Legumes well fed with
phosphate and potash fertilizer add
life-giving organic matter.
Dipping casters in melted paraf
fin before placing . them under
tables and chairs will keep them
from coming loose so often.
When carpeting reaches all the
way to the walls, use vacuum
around baseboard frequently—
moths love to lay eggs in such
spots.

Use an old powder puff when ap
plying shoe polish: it conserves
useful cloth, does not smea. -
fingers, and fits nicely into can

Try tomato juice to remove
stains from washable materials.
Apply a thin coat of sealer to
wire clotheslines to keep them
from rusting and make them
much easier to clean.
To squeeze that extra drop of
juice out of a lemon, use an or
dinary pair of pliers.

If cheese is too soft to grate,
soften it a little more in a warm
place and press through a coarse
strainer.

Purse mirrors placed under in

Mix odds and ends of left-over
