not hold out?” Replied Secretary Morgenthau: “General, the American public will take care of that. What they have done in the Second War Loan drive—the money they have produced and the spirit they have shown—is proof enough for me that they will not let our fighters suffer from lack of support until we achieve complete victory, no matter how long that may be nor how much it may cost.” Up your War Bond allotment out of your wages today. Figure it out for yourself how much above 10 per cent it should be. rr c

Chaplain Devises Library For Use at the Front Front line library service is being furnished soldiers at an outpost in the Pacific under a unique system devised by Chaplain Lloyd W. Halverson of Covina, Calif. Chaplain Halverson found that when the men were on duty in isolated dugouts and remote field sectors, ready access to books was not always possible. “If the soldiers can’t get to the libraries maintained by the Red Cross and Army Special Services,” reasoned Chaplain Halverson, "let’s get the library to the soldiers.” His suggestion reached his home community, and the loyalty and generosity of the citizens of Covina made the "Chaplain’s Outpost Library” a reality. It comprises 50 water-tight boxes built to hold five or six books apiece, and bearing circular insignia marked with the identity of the donor city and the chaplain’s name. Each is packed with new editions of the latest and best books, carefully selected from a variety of subjects oti the basis of the men’s reading interests. The books have been treated to resist insect attacks, and are stamped with the circular insignia. A regular library card is included. The selections are made not only to offer the men reading material, but with a view to improving their reading habits and adding to their knowledge. When the boxes arrive at gun positions and field emplacements they contain western stories, mystery stories, good fiction, outstanding non-fiction, and occasional Choices from the fields of humor and poetry. Lexington Famous Name In U. S. Naval History An 18-gun sloop, the Lexington, was one of the important ships in the beet of Commodore Perry when he made his historic visit to Japan in 1854, thus setting up a curious chain of events leading to the Battle of the Coral Sea and the gallant end of another Lexington, the "Queen of the Flat-Tops.” The first Lexington was a brig of 16 guns, the first Continental ship ready for the sea. The second ship to bear the name was the same ship which sailed under the command of Commodore Perry in 1854. Third ship to be called Lexington was an iron-clad river steamer of seven guns which served with some distinction during the Civil war. Next came the ill-fated but valiant Lexington, the aircraft carrier sunk in the Coral sea engagement. The newest Lexington is also an aircraft carrier. She was launched late in September of 1942. Perhaps, navy men predict, this new Lexington may also visit Japan!

New Flush Valves A vacuum breaker for flush valves made of transparent plastic so that the operation of the unit can be visually inspected is the latest in heating. Inasmuch as the purpose of the vacuum breaker is to protect water supplies against the hazards of reverse flow or back-siphonage, the fact that the outer shell is transparent is an advantage because it facilitates inspection for the purpose of checking on the operation of the unit. Thus the development of a wartime substitute has brought with it more positive protection to health. The new vacuum breaker with its transparent outer shell is used in connection with a war model flush valve -In which the content of critical copper has been reduced from six pounds to less than four ounces. The new valve is made principally of malleable iron and plastics.

China Fights Illiteracy No small share of credit for China’s heroic csix-year defense against Japan can be attributed, in part, to her campaign against illiteracy. Started in 1930 with establishment of the Mass Education movement, this campaign received new impetus at the outbreak of war. Today, many active projects directed towards the destruction ot illiteracy are carried on even in the most distant and isolated regions of western China. Agents of progress are not only government workers, but high school and college students —and even children.

New Use for Phone If the socks of one Manorville, N. Y., man aren’t being darned as well as they used to be, the New York Telephone company is to blame. Assigned to investigate a complaint about recurring static a repairman on one of the company’s party lines discovered that a housewife in one of the homes served by the line had acquired the habit of removing the receiver from the hook and using it as a darning egg in mending socks.

WAR BONDS Boons So long as a soldier can eat and think up disparaging names for his equipment the Army will do all right. Food is either "beans,” or "chow.”

“Chow” may consist of a well cooked meal or if circumstances demand our fighting men have learned to subsist on “Ration K,” the concentrated food that all of them carry into battle. With millions of men and women in the services it will require a lot of War Bond buying on our part to keep them happy. U. S. Trtuurs Drpartnunt

Turn in an old burned-out light bulb for each new one purchased

Your contributing a burned-out light bulb (any size) for each new bulb you buy from us, is simply another patriotic way of helping. Uncle Sam’s gigantic war program. This light bulb exchange requirement is the best way we know to help prevent waste and stretch out the consumer supply of bulbs which will be available over and above those so vitally needed for good seeing conditions in war plants.... Your old bulbs go to war, too, as the nickel wire and brass is salvaged for reuse and the cash proceeds given to the U. S. O. ... Keep on hand only a minimum of extra light bulbs and get the most out of your bulbs by using light correctly.
