. WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—This looks like another cold winter, mates. We're omg to be nudists in" neckties, *'T don't care what John Small claims. He's the ¢ivilian production administrator. He's got rosy figures on the booming clothing business, but when his last pair of pants wears out he'll be in an ‘awkward spot. I mean it is almost impossible. for a ‘fellow to sit behind a desk when he is wearing a barrel. "This melancholy thought is based on John's report bout wool suits coming out of the clothing factories at the rate of 23,000,000 a year. He added that -70,000,000 shirts were boxed for sale in April, May and June. I read his figures and I rushed down to the capital's second biggest department store, where most of the second floor, is devoted to clothing the male sex. Fellows, something's cockeyed. The shirt cases are full of rayon handkerchiefs with spots on 'em. The man showed me two shirts. One was lavender; the other speckled blue. Price, $5.95 each. The only shirts in the shop.
Thousands of Ties.
NEITHER was my size. I looked up the manager, He was glum. He'd read John's figures, too. But he wasn't getting the shirts. He recommerided a custom shigt maker down the street. He said I'd have to bring my own material. He said he understood several men had obtained beautiful white shirts by bringing in their own sheets. How's about that, Johnny? You think .Mrs. Small could spare a couple from her linen closet?

Treeless Plains
DEVILS LAKE, N. D., Sept. 3.—The late Joyce Kilmer “must have received the inspiration for his poem about trees while traveling across Montana and North Dakota. After two days and -600 miles
of steady driving across the plains, we're beginning _ to think we'll never see a tree. The treeless plains were wonderful at first. It was good to get away from the dark mountain forests, the second-gear grinding up steep grades and the chilling ' breezes of the high altitudes. It was good to get into open country on’ fairly level ground where we could step on the gas once more. ' But the plains got monotonous after the first four or five hours, Now we wish we were back in the mountains—or on -over into the lake country of Minnesota and Wisconsin. We left Glacier National Park in mid-afternoon and headed for Shelby, Mont. But when we arrived we found the motor courts and hotels full.
Rent to Tourists
THE OPERATOR of one 6f the hotels said she had a friend who had a room to rent to ‘tourists. -It turned out to ber a converted coal Bin in a basement, and the price was $4. We were weary and travel-stained, but we didn’t feel like groundhogs. We decided to drive on—even if we had to +grive all night or sleep in the car. A drizzle started as darkness blacked out the plains. Here and there we could see little specks of light—the cottages and cabins of ranchers. There was considerable traffic on the highway— + a lot of it seemed to be other tourists looking for a place to stay. At Chester we stopped. for gas and I went inta

NEW ENGLAND is awakening to find its place
«in the coming air age.
At the New Bedford, Mass., airport, 100,000 spectators attended & postwar air show, at which the
P-51's and P-47's put on a marvelous demonstration. The Gulfhawk, now 10 years old, still causes oh's and ah's as it zooms from 10 feet off the runway straight up for a climb of 3800 feet, and then streaks straight down again, The old Gulfhawk was up to its old tricks. of diving out of sight (from the spectators’ standpoint) right toward the ground (behind a long row of trees) and into a gulley on the far side of the airport, to leap into sight again .in another straight climb skyward, followed by a steep, climbing turn while inverted. This is technically known as ‘the inverted chandelle. : The Gulfhawk landed to watch the army jetpropelled ‘P-80 needle its way through the air like greased lightning. And what a beautiful sight it was! . I tell you, you haven't ‘seen airplanes until you see one of these ‘P-80's fly. They are clean-lined, sleek and smooth of contour with no unsightly propellers to mar the lovely nose of the fuselage. When I stood near my first P-80 I felt the same impulse, to pat its smooth nose, that leads one to stroke the -head of a beautiful horse.
Silence of Plane Eerie
SITTING NEAR the runway, I had a clearunobstructed view of the speeding P-80—with-its landing gear tucked up—and needling silently through the air. I said “silently.” The P-80 levelled off at about 300 feet, two or three miles away, and then worked down to about 25 feet as it approached the runway,
My Day.
HYDE PARK, Monday —There are two professions which evidently no longer appeal to either men or women, Yet in the past they were the two which drew the most intelligent people—people who wanted not only to make money but to be of real service in the world. One is the teaching ‘profession and the other is the nursing profession In the teaching profession, it is especially diffi cult to get men, who feel that they must earn an adequate living for ‘themselves and their families. Even women, however, are not going into this profession the way they once did. : The World Conterence of Teachers held recently "at Endicott, N. Y. showed that this was a major difficulty ir all English-speaking countries. Great Britain, Canada and the United States have the higgest shortages, but the “shortage in the profession exists all over the world.
Major Catastrophe IT IS a major catastrophe for the future, One of our metropolitan newspapers says that the first thing to do is to give teachers adequate pay. This unfortunately cannot be done unless throughout our communities we change the status of the teacher. In the past, even in the early days of this country, the traveling J Seacher—who had only a few books and

From where I sat I could hear no noise. It was just a beautiful shape coming toward me at incredible speed, with not a single sound. It's an “eerie sight. All the airplanes we have seen, no matter how fast, always announced themselves with preceding roars:
Watch Jets of Future
BUT THIS thing kept coming and not a sound ahead of it. And even as it passed in front of me—not more than 200 feet away—I still couldn't hear a sound. Like a flash it sped by. And then a hundred yards or so behind it trailed the first evidence of an engine.
It's difficult to describe the hissing, searing blast of the jet engine. Its nearest comparable sound is that of a giant blow torch—the kind plumbers and metalsmiths use—but vastly magnified. The silent approach of this P-80 was accounted for by the fact that the sound waves it_ generated were having a hard time keeping up with it.
Seconds, later it was thousands of feet aloft. cloud ceiling that day. was about 6000 feet. P-80 kept right on going up until it was a ral in the white mass. We could hear it—and we knew it was still climbing for a few thousand more feet | because the sound steadily decreased. And then, it popped into sight again—as- a speeding dot—miles away from where it had disappeared. That magic ship, demonstrating the place of the jet engine in the future air picture, seemed to scoff at distance. It swept all over the sky, smoothly and with a baffling ease. And the moment you see a P-80 fly, you sense you are looking at man brushing distance aside with a disdainful gesture. Watch what these jet engines do in passenger carrying transports.

With the growth of our material. and industrial civilization, this respect for learning has changed. Teaching must bring returns more nearly comparable with those in business for teaching to be a respected profession and attract able young people.
Freedom of Thought
IN ADDITION, the teaching profession will have to be granted freedom of thought and action. School boards .cannot control the minds of their teachers. No one with self-respect will be a teacher under such circumstances. The nursing profession affects women far more than men, since comparatively few men take up this profession. But today nurses are needed in public health, in industry and in state and federal institutions, and they require fal better training than. in the past. It is not just home nursing that is suffering, or even private patients in hospitals. It is the whole community. Here again, better pay Woild seem to be a factor, though in some cases nurses now have adequate working conditions and adequate pay. It is opportunities for advancement and for standing in the community, however, that will probably attract the young people to Wiis profession.

A COMMON cold is the usual cause of a stuffy nose, but the average infection seldom lasts more than a week or 10 days. Persistent nasal obstruction is caused by adenoids, a crooked septum (the septum is the wall which divides the cavity of the nose into two parts) allergy, nasal: polyps, or vasomotor rhinitis (congestive inflammation).
Adenoids are a common cause of mouth-breathing in children. These growths are located in- the upper portion of the throat, just behind the nose. All * children have a certain amount of adenoid tissue in the throat which may temporarily enlarge, but persistent enlargement or chronic infection of adenoid tissue is an indication that an operation should be performed.
