Jap Schooner To Be Canteen Tokyo.—The ancient decks of the Meiji Maru, once one of the largest and prcrtidest sailing schooners to ply the seven seas, will soon resound with American whoopee— with plenty of room for 100 jitterbugs to operate at a time. The Meiji Maru, now permanently at anchor in the Sumida River, has been taken over by the American Red Cross for conversion into the first sailing-ship Red Cross Canteen in history, with snack oar, reading room, game rooms and other accommodations in addition to the dance floor. In announcing the new-type canteen, Joseph Champman, assistant field director in charge of Red Cross activities for the 1st Cavalry Division’s 2nd Brigade, said that the ship is being renamed the S. S. Garry Owen, in honor of the famous battle cry of the 7th Cavalry Regiment, and that the 7th Cavalry troops will stage a formal opening of the new canteen when the ship is ready. The Meiji Maru was built in Glasgow, Scotland,, in 1875, and measures 225 feet from stein to stern, with a 30-foot beam. She was commissioned in 1880 by the Emperor Meiji of Japan, who was a passenger aboard her when the vessel, skippered by an Englishman, Capt. Robert H. Peters, made her

maiden voyage from Hokkaido to Yokohama. Subsequently,'Capt. Peters relinquished command of the ship, and a Japanese crew of 50 members, headed by Capt. Masakiyo Nakayo, took over. Under Nakayo and his successors, the Meiji Maru was used at various times to carry cargo and mail, she served as a cable ship for several years and before being taken out of active seiwice, carried parties of officials on inspection tours for lighthouses. In 1914, after making her last cruise between Nagasaki and Yokohama, the ship was moored in Tokyo Bay, where she was psed as a training ship for Japanese merchant seamen. The only mishap of her long.career occurred in 1920, when she was beached by a typhoon. Her keel now rests upon a sepcially-constructed concrete base. — o Deaware, Vermont, Wyoming and Nevada have only one representative apiece in the Hou^e of Representatives. o Their Big Day BOSTON (U.P.)— George K.

NATIONAL PRESS BUILDING WASHINGTON, D. £, By Anne Goode A • ■ . Prunes are plentiful this winter. So versatile and so good for you, why not serve them often — for breakfast, as is, or with cooked cereals: as a garnish for chicken and turkey. And a dandy sweet tooth snack is cream cheese stuffed prunes topped with a nut. ★ ★ ★ You’ll love the pretty spring hats! ^ B Because designers believe women want to look beautiful first, then chic, they’re creating small and pretty hats with emphasis on the feminine angle. ★ ★ ★ Butter prices went up as red tokens went out the window. But vitaminized margarine, a thrifty and nutritious table spread as well as cooking ingredient, continued in the same price range. ★ ★ ★ Would you believe that sewing machine needles sold for as much as $25, American money, in Korea during the Japanese occupation? Well, they did. ★ ★ ★ A delightful salad for children is one made of celery and carrot sticks and tomato wedges, served with a bowl of real mayonnaise. Kiddies love the “dunking”. ★ ★ ★ Increased amounts of beef and pork on the market have good effects on other products, too. More tallow will eventually mean more soa$ fats. Corn that doesn’t have to feed these animals will result in corn oil for food and corn syrup for candy production. ★ ★ ★ Canned vegetables and fruits have already disappeared once again under grocers’ counters in some places, and an over-all shortage is expected before the beginning of the next canning season. Now aren’t you proud of those rows of precious cans you labored over last summer?

THIS GIRL WELDER was pleased as punch when she learned her job to help win a war. She maj smile again at the opportunity to apply her skill in welding structural members for farm buildings on the site, a new and lighter job created by a new system of construction developed by researcl engineers of Camegie-Illinois Steel Corporation, U. S. Steel subsidiary, and University of Wiscon sin. This steel development also promises work for the HAXDY MAN AND HIS TRUCK, be he honor, ably discharged soldier or a temporarily displaced war worker. The SITE-WELDED FARM BUILDJNGS (above), with their shining steel sheathing, promise low-cost help toward the solution of tw< vexing postwar problems—shortage of building labor and of traditional structural materials.

Can You Iron a Gusset?

JOLIET, ILL.—“Just wait until I finish this shirt,” said gusset press operator Mary Ann Vietoris at the American Institute of Laundering’s model laundry here. She rushed from the altar in her bridal veil and returned to her old job long enough to show her husband, Joseph Gromcs, how she helped win the war—keeping a fighting nation clean. And the groom, a war veteran, with bridesmaid Lillian Gromos, v/atched impatiently as his bride adjusted the sleeves of a shirt in the gusset press on the shirt production line at the laundry, where test washings under normal conditions are made on thousands of articles for 3,800 laundries throughout the world. Mary Ann, before she gave up her job for marriage, had worked at the laundry for SVz years. She was one of the first girls ever to operate a gusset press. Know what a gusset press is? Well, look at a shirt and count those little pleats near the cuff, which are eo hard to iron by hand. A gusset press is a specialized piece of equipment in America’s power laundries used to iron such little hard-to-reach gussets. - - :

ART: “Saw you at the movies last night* Judge. That was quite a weekend that alcoholic went through, wasn’t it?” OLD JUDGE: “Sure was, but I’m afraid most people won’t really understand it.” ART: “What do you mean, Judge?” OLD /C/ZJGZs; “ Simply this. That poor chap was really a sick man...not just a drunk. Studies by famous psychiatrists and the medical profession show that alcoholism is not caused by a craving for alcohol... it is usually the result of some deep-rooted social, physical or emotional condition. If that fel-

low had not turned to alcohol for escape, he would have turned to something else.” ART: “Are there many^that get in that condition* Judge?” OLD JUDGE: “Fortunately not, Art. Scientists at a great university have stated that approximately 95% of the people who drink do so sensibly. Only 5% are immoderate at times. In that 5% is the small number known as alcoholics. And the beverage distilling industry which does not want a single person to use its product immoderately, is cooperating fully in the solution of this problem.”

16-Year-Old Boy Builds Radio Studio Schenectady, N. Y.—Sunday is a special day for 16-year-old Philip B. Clark of Schenectady. He sits in his home-made basement radio studio waiting for a “cue” from the minister of Faith Lutheran Church. When the light flashes, young Clark spins a turntable and organ music fills the church from a wooden loudspeaker behind the pulpit. It is the church’s only source of music.

When the area's youngest licensed radio engineer was unable to make up his mind whether to make music or engineering his hobby, he decided to combine the two. Clark built the cellar radio studio and control room. It is about the size of an average clothes press, contains a wooden control panel, a turntable with two speeds, and a large wooden shelf for records. In addition to supplying the church with music, Clark also furnishes “canned music’’ ,for the family through loudspeaker and radio connections throughout the house. At times he even entertains with

“live music” from an. organ. Clark built the organ about two years ago. Materials used include toothpicks, a vacuum cleaner and a keyboard from an ancient organ. o <■ BUY MORE WAR BONDS
