The Marines Have Landed
And the Situation Is in Hand’
U. S. marines have been landing on hostile shores for 167
years. During this long stietch of time the “leathernecks”
or “devil dogs,” as they are affectionately known, have up
held the highest traditions of the U. S. military forces. The
scrappy marines, each of whom can individually whip his
weight in wildcats, know no retreat. The U. S. marine corps
is a fighting outfit, through and through.
Today U. S. marines
are serving their country
at sea aboard cruisers,
battleships and aircraft
carriers, as well as in the
Pacific, West Indies, the
Caribbean and Alaska.
These pictures take

AMERICAN RED CROSS
CO THAT America will be well
^ prepared on the home front,
the American Red Cross has set a
goal of one person in every home
to be trained in home nursing.
I Red Cross home nursing courses
teach simple methods of keeping
the family well, and how to care
for its members in sickness. The
students—mostly women, many
men and large numbers of young
people—are also taught to recog
nize symptoms in the early stages.
This is expected to help prevent
the usual wartime epidemics.
So far in this war, more than 90
per cent of the civilian casualties
have not been hospitalized. In
stead they have been given first
aid and whatever emergency
treatment was necessary and then
sent home.
A large portion of such civilian
war casualties have required
home nursing care which, due to
shortage of nurses, had to be pro
vided by members of the family.
To enable every family to pro
vide home care for the sick,
whether due to enemy action or
natural causes, immediately after
the attack on Pearl Harbor, the
Red Cross started a plan to teach
home nursing to every family.
Since our entry into the war,
more than 500,000 men and women
in nearly every county in the Unit
ed States have completed their
home nursing course. Another
quarter of a million are now tak
ing the course in more than 3,000
Red Cross chapters.
Any group of 20 or more can
form a home nursing class by
agreeing on a time and place of
meeting. After being notified, the
county Red Cross chapter will
then appoint a graduate nurse
instructor.

Surely Neighbor Would
Be floppy to Contribute
Answering a determined tap at
the door, Mrs. Jones opened it to
face her neighbor, who was ob
viously very wrought up about
something.
“It's that boy of yours,” she
snorted. “He’s just thrown this
brick through my window. It came
within an inch of hitting me.”
A pleased look came into Mrs.
Jones’ face.
“Really! How interesting!” she
exclaimed. “I wonder if you will
let me have the brick? We’re try
ing to keep all the little memen
toes of his youthful pranks; they’ll
be so interesting when he grows
up.”

can see immediately it has very
good points. The button front is
the first good point, that makes it
easy to get on and off. The second
is the gathered fullness which
gives ease in the bodice. The
third is the neckline, to be finished
with a tailored collar and lapels
or edged with lace.

LJ ERE is a sketch of a corner

the desk hangs a piece of applique
work that any woman who can sew
a seam can make with a piece of
natural colored linen, a few scraps
of gingham and odds and ends of
embroidery thread. The design is
of poppies, cornflowers and wheat,
with graceful green leaves. The
poppy petals and leaves are of
gingham applied on the linen. The
bright blue cornflowers, the yellow
wheat and stems are embroidered
in simple stitches.

No one would ever guess that the
desk is a transformation of the
fancy oak one shown at the left.
The top was sawed off and a plain

then added at the sides and the
plywood door was hinged to them.

The Guillotine
The machine the French use for
beheading murderers, called the
guillotine, was not invented by Dr.
Guillotine, nor was he himself exe
cuted by it, as tradition states.
As long ago as the Middle Ages
there were mechanical devices for
beheading criminals. During the
French Revolution, when oppo
nents of the new regime were exe
cuted in large numbers, Dr. Guil
lotine, in 1789, suggested that
something of the kind should be
adopted, for humanitarian rea
sons.

Needed Treatment
At a boarding house a guest
was sawing away at the sinewy
knee-joint of a roast chicken leg.
At last, waving an arm towards
a bottle of sauce on the table,
near the landlady’s elbow, he
said:
“Pass the liniment, please, Mrs.
McPherson. This seagull has
rheumatism.”
As Molded
“Figures don’t lie.”
”They’re not supposed to. They are
simply raw material in the hands of the
expert."
It Would!
“What lovely salmon!”
“That’s not salmon; that’s cod
blushing at the price they’re ask
ing for it.”
Earlier Start
Two small boys at the charity
dinner put their grimy hands side
by side on the tablecloth.
“Mine’s dirtier ’n yourn!” ex
claimed one, triumphantly.
“Huh!” said the other, disdain
fully, “you’re two years older ’n
me.”
Come to That
“According to the law of supply and
demand—," began her husband, who
liked to explain things.
“No one demands anything at a store
now, dear,” she interrupted; “it’s the
law of supply and request.”
The class had had a lesson on
Eskimos, and were asked to write
an account of it. One bright
youngster began: “The Eskimos
are God’s frozen people.”

SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT
RUBBER
-< i
Rubber U not Hie sop of a tree,
but I* the latex found In tube*
that run lengthwise throughout
tho Inner part of tho bark.
Individual car owners can conserve
rubber. Never drive over 35 miles an
hour, check inflation pressure once a
week, check wheel alignment every
six months, rotate tires (Including
spares) to different wheels every
3,000 miles. It is not a difficult habit
to acquire and it will keep you roll
ing longer.
Why balk at 39 miles an hour
restrictions! In Jerusalem 8 mile*
an hour Is tho limit for automo
biles, with tho speed warnings
printed In Arabic, Hebrew and
Cnglish.
The Army is supplied by hundreds of
thousands of rubber-tired trucks,
lust one of which for a ton ve
hicle, takes more than 7 times as
much rubber as your passenger oar.
