Hoosier Vagabond

SEATTLE, Jan. 31.—Now is the time to jot down, in vour book of urgent addresses, that of Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, on Colman Dock in Seattle. You will find it indispensable. For example, suppose you were to find yourself in dire need of a whale louse. Where on earth would vou find a whale louse? In Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, of course. One as big as your hand, for 75 cents. Or assume that you were caught in Jackson, Miss, without a totem pole. Just wire Ye Olde Curiosity Shep—they1l ship you an eight-foot one for $50. Or you could order a calfweaner, a five-inch grasshopper from Ecuador, or a stuffed chimpanzee with teeth bared. Practically anything you want, sir, : Ye Olde Curiosity Shop is an institution. It is known to thousands of sailors, and to scores of thousands of tourists. It has been a magnet for the curious for 43 years. This odd business was established in 1899 by J. E. Standlev, who went by the nickname of Daddy, and who alwavs wore a- skull cap during business hours. He died a year and a half ago, in his late 80's. and he must have been a character.

You Could Be There a Week

FOR 30 YEARS OR more he kept a combination grocery and butcher shop in Denver. But at heart he was a collector of freakish things. Every time he'd get his hands on an odd piece of something—anything—he'd tack it up in his grocery. After 30 vesrs of this it got so pad that the customers couldn't find the groceries. So Daddy Standley sold out. took down all his freakish mementoes, moved to Seattle, and set them up in business. They kept him in comfort the rest of his life.

Downey (he died four years 2go), she is a member of the State Legislature, a former teacher, a former P.-T. A. president and a past president of the Y. W. C. A. A calm, dimpled woman with silvery white hair, Mrs. Downey has a sunny disposition and a great capacity for work.

Her one big passion is the Community Fund. It started in 1928 when the Fund drafted her to take charge of organizing a neighbornood campaign. She organized it all right. She formed a veritable army of to go knocking door to door. She brought in $50.000 in small pledges and ever since she's been toiling away in the ranks for the Fund.

THAT IS ABOUT the story all over the lot. The the industrialists, the groups that have had the advantages of education and experience in affairs and who are efficient operators in their businesses, are the ones to whom we would naturally turn for guidance through this bewildering and violent revolution.

Shop. It isn't large, yet I'll bet you could be there a week and on the eighth day find 100 new things you'd never noticed before. Let me tell you some of the things you'd find: - A Chinese beheading sword; a petrified bullfrog; a Swiss cowbell that weighs 14 pounds; RXipley’s name written with ink on a human hair; a trapdoor spider's nest; a horn fromi" a rhinoceros’ nose; the smallest U. S. Treasury check ever written (one cent); shark eggs; a whole bear's foot, or individual claws, as you wish; an old mustache cup and saucer for $195. If youre crazy for an African jungle marimba, it’s there.

YOU CAN FIND spookishly human-looking fish. On the ceiling is a 10-foot rattlesnake skin. There is a Civil War Bible, or rather it looks like a Bible until you open it up; inside it's hollow and holds a pint of whisky (our gay ancestors!). After two hours I took off my hat and topcoat and decided to stay a while. Mr. I. R. James laid them on a stool behind his counter. Mr. James is Daddy Standley’s son-in-law. He and Ed Standley, a son, run the place now. Mr. James is a pleasant man who is very proud of the shop. He says they sell stuff to lots of big people. The DuPonts of Wilmington frequently order giant clam shells. These monstrous things are five feet across, and the DuPonts use them for bird baths. Robert Ripley ordered a 37-foot totem pole. If you insist, you can get a little gray hat made from $1,000,000 worth of U. S. paper money. You can get a back-scratcher, or a kayak. You can buy a glass sponge (rarest animal known) from Pitcairn Island. Best of all, you can browse around for hours as though you were in an old-book store. It's more edifying than a museum, more fun than a roller coaster. I would have been there vet, but I happened to catch Mr. James trying to sell me to a tourist (he said] they got me out of a whale that was a direct descendant from Jonah’s), so I beat it.

FAIL TO ALARM LOCAL WOMEN

Average Housewife Wants To Prove Ability in Using Substitutes.

By RICHARD LEWIS

The kitchen of the average Indianapolis housewife = isn't built around the sugar bowl, so Mrs. Indianapolis isn’t worried about the prospect of sugar rationing next month. As a matter of information, has given her an opportunity show what she can do. She has figured out quite a few angles to help her stretch her sugar allowance under the ration plan—12 ounces a person a week. Her resourcefulness was evident (oday in a survey which showed that honey, sorghum molasses, corn syrup and maple syrup are figuring prominently in her culinary plans for this war. The survey showed also that she

What Could Be Better?

“We're going to use honey as a substitute. It’s the best sweetening there is,” Mrs. L. E. O'Brien, 4901 E. 34th St, said. “I think that applesauce made with honey is just delicious. We'll use sorghum molasses on pancakes, corn syrup for custards and pecan pies and molasses and honey for baking. “Why, sugar worry us at all.” Mrs. John W. Kendrick, 2911 Brookside Parkway, N. Dr. said that her family doesn’t consume much sugar, but she's resigned to giving up canning. « Different From 1941

“I canned 400 quarts of peaches, pears and preserves last year, and we have some to tide us over,” she said. “Of course, the boy in school likes cookies and I'll try to see that he gets some.” Mrs. Kendrick said she wasn't concerned about misplacing the ration card. “My husband does the shopping on Saturdays,” she explained. “I'll let him worry about that.” Mrs. William Sanders, 2162 Ringgold St., used 100 pounds of sugar in canning last fall. She has 250 containers of jellies and fruits on hand now. “We'll Get Along”

Lawyers and politicians are fairly strong on the board itself, but if the purchasing agents and economists were to combine with the engineers, they could almost take over the show here.

IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS, some of these people have a much better record. Some of them saw the dangers| as clearly as Roosevelt. Many of them, long before the | war, put aside their bitter prejudices against Roose- | velt’'s domestic policies to support him most earnestly and effectively in his judgment of foreign affairs. | Unfortunately the Republican Party cannot share in it for it rode on the isolationist side—in a kind of, desperate straddle. Even in foreign affairs the Re-; publicans as a whole, the top insiders in the party] organization, couldn't see that anything was happening. So. as an American citizen who sees many day-to-| day things to criticize in Roosevelt, I find myself in| the fundamentals looking te him as the public figure who seems more than anyone else to know where the dangers are and to make an effort to grapple with! them, whether they be at home or abroad. What worries me is that these dangers won't end with the war. Where can we turn for the understand- | ing leadership in the years to come when democratic order and ccntrol must be organized around these violent forces?

WAR VESSELS ARE DEADLIEST

New Mosquito Boats Can Blow Biggest Ship Out Of Water.

By NAT A. BARROWS

SOMEWHERE IN THE PACIFIC, ABOARD A MOSQUITO BOAT, Jan. 31.—Dead ahead loomed the mysterious coves and heavy jungle growth of one of those little islands that have kept a desolated lookout over South American water lanes since the days of Spanish treasure ships and Conquistadores. Slowed down to 35 miles an hour we studied the shore line through glasses, while the machine-gunners dry-tracked constantly and another crewman, back aft, held a tommye gun ready. This merely was a casual survey for sounding and harbor refuge possibilities for those newest and deadliest additions to the United States Navy, the mosquito boats.

Taking No Chances

There was little danger that any enemy gunners lurked behind the dense tropical bush ahead, but the skipper and his enlisted men were taking no chances. On the theory that anything can happen in war time, they were ready to defend themselves. Slowly the mosquito boat eased into the cove. Our machine-gun ners sighted along the white beach, now and then glancing skyward for enemy plages. The skipper made careful notes |against the day when he might need to use this cove as refuge, or to ferret out an enemy vessel here,

Strangest Craft of All

Many strange ships must have looked on this deserted island— caravans laden with gold, clippers from Boston and Salem, New Bedford whalers and big luxury liners, But never before had such a craft as this ever touched these waters. England has used mosquito boats with great success and we are add ing them increasingly for major

think he will be hard enough and tough enough to see that a darn good job is done and that we cut through the bottlenecks of production.”

As chief of the production division Mr. Harrison supervises the men who facilitate, advise, persuade cajole, and otherwise help along the builders of ships, small arms. heavy guns, explosives, tanks, aircraft, machine tools and cranes.

Tackling Bottlenecks

His background in the telephone industry gives Mr. Marrison an awareness of the many stances which may affect production. The man in charge of building the great telephone plant, he with his associates had to appraise beforehand everything that might somehoW affect the service even the remotest emergencies. On a vastly enlarged scale he is applying those lessons to the great war economy of industry.

“We feel that bottlenecks are | somehow evidences of our failure to provide against congestions and shortages,” Mr. Harrison says. “We can’t prevent them, of course, and they come up all the time, but we strive continually to get farther and farther back in the chain of production, back to the materials that make the tools to make the tools.

“As supplies grow tighter and the burden heavier we have to make more compromises. We try to provide at least two sources of everything, and we have sought to disperse them as much as possible, but now we have to take into account the effects of possible freight congestion on the railroads.

Keeping Things Moving

“We have to watch the stream of moving materials and myriads of parts, keep these chains on charts or have them in mind, see that they meet at the right places and times and look ahead to provide for the greater orders still to come. Nobody has ever counted the number of tems involved. “We have found the armed services as willing as they could possibly be to consider alternatives of materials and methods as the supplies grow shorter and the orders heavier “As for the effects of the increasing pressure upon industry, if you mean the psychological factors, we leave those to other agencies.”

Dare Biggest Ships

“Give these mosquito boats half a chance and they'll blow the biggest | ship afloat out of the water,” said our skipper and the Navy's No. 1 commanding officer in this type of attack boat. “Our top speed is so great that we can sneak up on our target, toss over our torpedoes and get away, side-slipping and zigzagging before enemy gun-pointers can hold their firing range long enough to hit us except by sheer luck. “Even fighter planes are unable to hurt us much unless they get in a lucky shot. There isn't anything more deadly afloat.”

Like Riding Wild Broncs

After our island survey we sped through the Pacific at 35 and 40 miles, one-fourth of our forward hull out of the water, a huge cauldron of white water boiling out astern, Riding this was like riding a bucking, outlaw bronco in a hure ricane. When the boat is under way food is prepared and eaten catch-ase catch-can, sandwiches and halfe filled glasses. Filipinos prepared our sandwiches for all hands and then took over the machine-gun mounts while the gunners ate. Most of these mosquito boat crewe men were picked from destroyer crews—and like submariners they have got to meet high and exacting qualifications to be able to remain with these streaks of lightning,
