Defense Of Alaska In Winter Months Soldiers and Supplies Brought In By Air Transport The business of defending Alaska has entered a new phase, Actually, nobody knows yet just how the United States Army will fare through the next six months with ice for highways and zero as a _high mark on its thermometer, Tests have been made; men delib- erately have undergone cold and "hunger discavering just how an ymy can expect. to exist, But the ton! experience begins now, Winter in Alaska offers a queer mixture of .conditions, some of them severe, some of them better than summer, For example, scat- tered along the Arctic and sub. Arctic 'coasts are. Army bases, out posts, airfields, manpower econ- centrations, and signal stations, which can be supplied ' sea or by air, Plans Laid Last Winter Plans were laid last winter to supply most of these during the summer when vessels had to battle only heavy seas and bad anchor. ing conditions to reach them. Ice- bergs floated then, but the pack which acts as an impenetrable winter wall shutting off Bering Straits and the Arctic Ocean was breaking up. Then the Japanese struck Dutch Harbor, While Navy ships and Army airplanes combined to - drive them back from the contin. ent, supply ships for the cold- weather posts had to wait, Some were near the bottom of the barrel for food. Others, taking on sudden new strategic importance, had to be supplied immediately with men and ammunition. Whole garrisons were moved by air transport while supply ships were held up or busy on other urgent jobs. Comparatively small airports, where a daily plane had represented the only link with civ- ilization, suddenly accommodated, willy-nilly, as many as 50 trans- port planes arriving daily, bulging "with troops, loaded with guns and shells. Fighting ships lined the runways, heavy patrol planes were based at places more used to two- seated civilian ships piloted by hardy bush fliers. Tent-Pitching a Problem Troops dug into the tundra, set up guns on ground so spongy a man needed hip boots to walk to the mess hall, Ice was only a few inches or a foot or two under the surface---and on top was mostly water. Tent-pitching was an engl. neering problem, one tenth getting it up, and the rest protection against high \vinds and drainage "for the dirt floors. ciently corralled on Kiska, Attu, and Agattu to make shipping rea- sonably safe, the Alaska north was braced for an attack. The attack never came, but the supply ships did. Not the few dozens, deep at the water line, army rather than: for a few out- posts. Eskimos Helped Instead of the leisurely unload- ing in the plans, there followed a 24-hour, hard-driving campaign to unload each vessel as quickly as possible so it could go back for more supplies. recruited. Soldiers pitched in. Even Eskimos, some of whom could not speak English, were herded to the docks under thelr own chiefs, Hands which had been adept at hurling walrus spears became even more adept at hand- ling cargo slings. So the cargo came to the north --food for winter, shells, tents, huts to replace the tents, tractors, trucks, radio installations, fuel, plane engines, everything an army would need to sustain itself, . First- it piled up on the beaches, * Then it was moved back into dis- "persion areas by truckers making full use of northern 20-hour day- light. Supplies by Air Today, this Army, scattered - throughout posts where snow al- ready is deep and the ground frozen, is ready for winter. There will be few luxuries, there won't be much entertainment. But neither will it be easy prey for -any invader--or for nuisance 'air yaids. Some troops are still in tents; but these tents are winterized, as nearly comfo.table for extreme cold weather as it .is possible to make a tent with wood, chunks of _ tundra, and red-hot stoves. From now on, no.ships will enter the most northern ports un. "til spring--but neither will an in. vader's fleet appear off the coast. For better or worse, both United States troops and any enemies must, in these northern latitudes, depend upon the airplane for sup. plies, for mail, for reinforcement, - It could be worse. The United "States has lots of airplanes, 'No ne who stood on the aprons ot these northern airports during ~ those critical da; A ot early sum. "ean doubt tha only by!

I forgot to wake him." "Don't worry," said the other, "let him sleep, if he can." "Sleep!" said the first woman, "You don't know my husband; if a bomb drops on him he'll nag me about it for months." A fly and a flea in a flue. Were imprisoned; now what could they do? Said the fly, "Let us flee." "Let us fly," said the flea. So they flew through a flaw in the flue. Jack, the sailor, had broken' with his girl, After ignoring sev eral- letters requesting the return of her photograph, he received one threatening to complain to the captain. Deciding to silence her for all time, he borrowed all the pictures of girls available on the ship from his pals; and sent them on to her in a parcel with .the following note: "Pick yours out, I have for- gotten what you look like!" "Auntie, were proposed to?" "Once, dear, a gentleman asked me to marry him over the telephone, but he had the wrong number." you ever The bewildered guest eyed the youngster who was. driving nails into the furniture. He turned to his host. "I say," he said, pointing to the boy with the hammer, "don't you find it rather expensive to let your children play like that?" The host smiled proudly. "Not at all," he replied cheer. fully. "I get the nails wholesale." "Who made these. dough. nuts?" asked Brown. "1 did," replied his wife, proudly. .

AAFs, leaving thelr station "somewhere in the West Country" a few days ago, thumb- ed a passing car in the hope of getting a. lift on the first stage of their "hitch-hike" journey to London. It was a big, dark red saloon, 'and as it pulled in towards the slde of the road one of the girls realized that it looked like a Royal Car. Thinking perhaps they had held up the King on an important jour ney, the W.A.A.F."s approached the car apprehensively. A tall major got out, asked them where they were bound, and in. vited them into the car. There a stately, gray-heired lady offered them seats on either side of her, and apologized that she could give them a lift only as far as Reading. Yes, it was Queen Mary. She has made a practice of giving lifts to all service men and women for the past two years, and when the two W.A.AF.'s reached home they were full of delight at the_charming way Queen Mary had talked about serv- ice life and conditions, Before they got out of the car Queen Mary shook hands with both girls and gave each a little medal- lion with her cipher "M.R." as a souvenir of the drive. What neither of the girls real- "ized was that the Queen was drly- ing on one of the saddest missions of her life--to- the funeral of her youngest son, the Duke of Kent.

The study was made on a 56 year old man who has to be fed through an artificial opening in his stomach--remarkably similar to the way an army ddctor a cen- tury ago discovered the nature of digestion by looking into a man's stomach through a gunshot wound that failed to heal completely. The new observations, confirm- ing the medical belief that the state of one's mind affects the state of one's stomach, were de- scribed in the journal of the American Medical Association by Dr. Stewart Wolf, U. S. army cap- tain, and Dr, Harold G. Wolf of New York, "It appears likely," they con- cluded, "that the chain of events which begins with anxiety and conflict and their associated over- activity of the stomach and ends with hemorrhages or perforation is that which is involved in the natural history of peptic ulcer in human beings." The physicians took a look at the man's stomach--34 times--. and reported that fear, hate, anxiety and similar emotions pro- --duce-astomach condition making it possible for acid gastric juices to start an ulcer. They noticed, for instance, that during such emotions the stomach becomes red from excess blood in the mucous membrane, acid pro- duction increases sharply and vigorous contractions begin, They found also that the stom. ach's lining was protected from its own secretions by an efficient insulating layer of mucus, enab- ling most small erosions to heal promptly within a few hours. The man upon whose stomach they spied had drunk scalding hot clam chowder at the age of nine, completely blocking his esophagus, and has been fed since through an opening cut by surgeons, Tin Output Risés In British Mines The thousand-year-old mines of Cornwall, in southern England, are increasing thelr production of tin despite labor and machinery short- ages, according to the United States Department of Commerce, This Increase will compensate in part for loss of Malayan. tin mines to the Japanese, Wearing of an amber necklace was formerly regarded as a cure for rheumatism, @Seratching 4% fodiens relief Ea of sae pimples, ath- ) Ss at ol He Mis 7 Relieves MONTHLY. == FEMALE PAIN iro relle Siich distress.
