sounds——the exciting, sad, weary litle sounds of war. It had been six months since I'd slept on the ground, or heard a rifle shot. “With the marines it

was about the same, I was -tagging along with a headquarters company of a regiment, We were on a pretty, grassy slope out in the country, The frontlines were about a thousand yards ahead. Other troops were bivouacked all around us. ; There were still a few snipers hiding around. An officer was brought in just before dark, shot through the arm, So we were on our toes. Just at dusk three planes flew slowly overhead in the direction of the beach. We paid no attention, for we thought they were ours. But they weren't, ? In a moment all hell cut loose from the beach.

Our entire fleet and the guns ashore started throwing"

stuff into the sky. I've never seen a thicker batch

AN INDIGNANT reader sends in a mimeographed letter from a downtown furniture store announcing 8 “very special gift offer for you, one of our preferred eustomers. . . . If you reopen your account between April 6 and April 16 for $15.00 or. more, we will give : * you absolutely FREE a carton of popular brand cigarets.” The indignant reader wants to know “how a furniture store which has never sold cigarets can supply ‘ preferred customers with a carton, for reopening an account?” Write your own comment . . Another reader reports that a sign on the Keith Shade Co, on N. Illinois asserts that, “Due to shortage of material and laber the Keith Shade Co. will be for . 60 days.” It doesn’t say what the company “will be.” Probably means they're pulling the shades and remaining dark. ... A sign on the Btout Shoe store branch on S. Illinois announces that the branch will be closed until more shoes are available. . . .

He's lucky to have a straw left over from last year. , . Speaking of hats, every time Eddie Ash, The Times’ sports oracle, enters or leaves the office, the girls whistle at him.

shot in shells from our battleships, timed to burst above our lines, and float down on parachutes. This was to keep the country lighted up so we could see the Japs if they tried to infiltrate, which is one of their favorite tricks. The flares were shot up several per minute: from dusk until the moon came out “full. It was very bright after that and the flares were not needed. But all night long two or three ships kept up a slow shelling of the far hills where the Japs were supposed to be. It wasn't a bombardment; just two or three shells per minutes. They passed right over us and I found that passing shells have the same ghostly “window shade rustle” on this side of the world as on the other. 2 My foxhole was only about 20 feet from wheré two field telephones ‘and two field radios were lying on the ground.

Al Williams All the wisdom of the old trapper is found in Gatty’s practical interpretation of the color of seawater, He observes’ that when the water is blue or green, the intensity of the color is generally an indication of depth. Whether the sea is blue or green depends on the quantity of particles or organisms, and its salinity. The more particles, the greener the water; the fewer, the bluer the water. In view of what we know today, the word “phosphorescence” (of seawater) is erroneous. The light in the sea is due’ to organisms, and phosphorus has nothing to do with it. ?

PAGE 17 = Labor — One Coal Pact Sure; Lewis Gains Victory

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, April 12.—Exact meaning of the new contract between the United Mine Workers and bituminous coal: operators will not be known until (if and when) the parties are required to explain it before the war labor board, but it is clearly recognizable as another in the long series of John L. Lewis’ wage victories. . Complexity of

* history, approximately $10 a day,

while maintaining the appearance of the old basic pay of $7 a day—thus complying technically with the wage-freeze policy of the national stabilization program. : n » »

THIS WAS accomplished by expert handling of the “fringe” in portal-to-portal pay, shift differentials and increased vacation allowances. .

Another certainty is that the operators will ask the office of price administration for authority to pass the increased production costs on to consumers. Estimates of this increase range from 20 cents a ton to twice that much.

But Mr. Lewis didn't get everything he originally demanded. The proposed royalty of 10 cents a ton, to be paid into a union fund, was recognized from the beginning as probably a bargaining point, and toward the end of the negotiations was not seriously in the discussions. Nor was. Mr. Lewis successful in “extending jurisdiction of his union over foremen and other supervisory. employes. +# = - = . - THE LATTER remained a hot issue almost to the time of agreement and-was described as the main reason why the parleys . lasted beyond March 31. The negotiations ended (unless there should be unexpected serious questioning by the war labor board) in the usual scene of a “town meeting” of the U. M. W.’s 200-member policy committee and representatives of operators. “But there was a difference this _time—instead of the miners sit ting on one side of an aisle, with the operators on the other, the miners occupied all the front seats on both sides.

Gatty provides star charts that can be read by any boy—the signs of the globe trails. His chapter headings are significant: “What the Moon Can Tell You,” “Steering by the Stars,” “Finding North and South Points by Means of Pocket Watch,” “Latitude by the Duration of the Day” and “Finding. Your Destination Without a Watch.”

KEENE, N.

I hope the general will speak throughout this country many times before the nations meet in San Francisco.

The winds and currents of the world are charted, hence they are aids to navigation. - The color of the sky can denote presence of land, as also do “fixed” clouds. What fish to eat? How to catch them without hook? What birds are they? How far from land? And thereupon Gatty presents. the most interesting practical lecture on the’ habits of birds (photos for identification), their food, and the distance from land that they usually are found. Did you know that the albatros sleeps on the watef, drinks seawater, and seeks land only in the breeding season? +The frigate—the shore-sighting bird of the Poly~ nesians—is a land-based bird, cannot spend the night at sea, eats fish that he seldom catches but captures by a diving attack on the booby birds— snapping up the fish as it is disgorged by the frightened booby. A flock of frigate birds means land within 100 miles. A flock of boobies always means land within ahout 3 miles, Boobies always fly seaward in the morning snd landward in the evening.
