SNAPPY FACTS
ABOUT
RUBBER
-1»
Rubber Is used on planes for lin
ing gar tanks and fuel lines, far
de-icing instruments, for Insulat
ing cabins with weatherstrip
ping, for lining flying suits to
make them moisture - proof and
for doieits of other purposes.
Proper inflation means maximum
miles. A tire under-inflated 20 per
cent (24 instead of 30 pounds) will
reduce its life by 15 per cent and 25
per cent of the mileage will be lost
in a tire that is 30 per cent under
inflated.
The Baruch Committee anticipated
that 33,000 long tons of rubber
would be Imported by the U. 3.
In the last IS months starting
July 1st last.
No mere auto chases In movies
for the duration. No more turns
at high spead on squealing tires
and no mere new cars. Possible
audience reaction to the watte of
rubber — and speeding — brought
the taboo.

Churchmen Militant
** DRAISE the Lord, and pass the
* ammunition!**
All America is singing it—this
song written by Frank Loesser,
Hollywood composer, now a private
in the army.
According to a note on the first
publication of the sheet music, the
militant churchman, who uttered
the phrase that has already become
historic, was Capt. William A. Ma
guire, a Catholic priest and chaplain
for the Pacific fleet, who was on the
dock at Pearl Harbor that Sunday
morning when the Japs attacked.
It now appears that Composer
Loesser was misinformed because
the chaplain who actually did say
it at Pearl Harbor was Lieut. How
ell M. Forgy of
Haddonfleld, N.
J., who played
football at Mus
kingum college
before he became
a Presbyterian
naval chaplain.
He was on a
heavy cruiser at
Pearl Harbor on
December 7, 1941,
directing prepa
rations for church
_ services aboard
Lleut.H.M. For jy ship
when gener
al quarters was
sounded after the enemy attack.
Forgy immediately reported to his
battle station. The power was off
on a powder hoist, so Lieut. Edwin
Woodhead formed a line of sailors
to pass the ammunition by hand to
the gunners on deck. Chaplain For
gy moved along the line encourag
ing the passers and repeating
"Praise the Lord and pass the am
munition.”
The heroic naval chaplain of Pearl
Harbor was not the first, however,
to bracket a bel
ligerent idea with
the name of the
Deity and pro
duce an immor
tal phrase. Back
in the days of the
Civil war in Eng
land, when the
Parliamentary
troops led by Oli
ver Cromwell
were about to
cross a nver 10 Oliver Cromwell
attack the ene
my, the Protector concluded an ad
dress to his Roundheads with these
words: "Put your trust in God; but
mind to keep your powder dry!’’
The American Revolution fur
nished two examples of militant
churchmen utter
ing phrases which
have become his
toric. At the open
ing of that con
flict, Peter Muhl
enberg, the son
of Henry Muhlen
berg, the “Patri
arch of American
Lutheranism,”
was pastor of a
German Luther
an church at
Woodstock, Va.
In January, 1776, he accepted a
commission as colonel of the Eighth
regiment of Virginia militia, recent
ly authorized by the colonial assem
bly. One Sunday morning his church
at Woodstock was crowded with a
congregation that had gathered to
hear the pastor preach his farewell
sermon. In it Muhlenberg described
in plain, straightforward terms the
situation into which the colonies had
been forced by the Crown. Then in
a ringing voice, he ended his ser
mon with this declaration: '‘In the
Holy Writ there is a time for all
things. There is a time to preach
and a time to fight; and now is the
time to fight.”
After pronouncing the benediction,
he stripped from his shoulders his
ministerial robes and stood revealed
before his congregation in the uni
form of a colonel of volunteers.
Another pastor in the Continental
army who uttered a phrase that has
made him the hero of song and sto
ry was the Rev. James Caldwell of
the Presbyterian church at Eliza
bethtown, N. J., the chaplain of a
New Jersey regiment. During the
attack on Springfield, N. J., by Kny
penhausen and his Hessians in 1780,
when the paper wadding for the
muskets of the Continentals was run
ning low, Caldwell rushed into the
Presbyterian church at Springfield
and returned with his arms filled
with copies of the "Psalms of Da
vid” by Isaac Watts. Caldwell scat
tered the psalm books among the
soldiers, shouting “Now, boys, give
them Watts!” The boys "gave them
Watts” to such good effect that Kny
penhausen’s attack was beaten off.
Caldwell was so influential among
the Patriots that the British offered
a big reward for his capture. But
he managed to elude them and con
tinued his work in the cause of free
dom. In the darker days of the Rev
olution, when pay was lacking and
provisions were low, he was appoint
ed assistant commissary general
and did much to save the Patriot
cause from collapse until victory
was won. Meanwhile a Tory refu
gee had burned his church and his
enemies had killed his wife. In 1781
he was murdered by a sentry who
was either drunk or had been bribed.
' Floor-Length Dinner Gown Is
Still Chosen for Formal Wear
_
By CHFRIF NICHOLAS
'T'HOSE adorable little street
* length frocks which have cap
tured the fancy of all with their fas
cinating low-cut necklines and their
pretty furbelows rank high in favor,
the more so now that “furlough”
dates have come into our lives. How
ever when it comes to more formal
occasions, women are voicing their
preference in no uncertain terms for
long, sleek and sophisticated gowns
that lend dignity to the occasion.
Because the L-85 styles are limit
ed as to yardage, fabrics for the
present season are being chosen on
a basis of quality rather than quan
tity. The trend is toward luxurious
fabrics in gala gowns styled with
that exquisite simplicity which de
clares perfection in line and con
tour. In this category regal rayon
velvets share honors with supple,
interestingly textured crepes, and
jersey ranks high on the list. The
finer rayon constructions, including
satins, taffetas, crepes, velvets,
moires, nets and laces, impart
glamour-plus to formal modes.
Deep toned rayon crepes and
sheers are beautifully adapted to
the molded lines of the new stream
lined dinner gowns, as also are dull
finished crush - resistant velvets.
You’ll find that both crepe and vel
vet versions abound in close draped
effects sometimes siren-like in their
sleek lines, or statuesque in a clas
sic way, or having that distin
guished “covered up” look that fit
ted wrist-length sleeves give. Often
the sleeves are very, very long and
the neckline very, very low. Skirts
are slit, or perhaps harem draped.
Most often the new after-dark
gowns flash with metallic or other
brilliant touches that are either dis
creetly done or applied with a prodi
gal hand. An arresting new fash
ion is that of trimming with fur
bandings. An endless amount of
jet is also seen, likewise glistening,
colorful sequins. Much exquisite
beadwork is being done in delicate
pastels.
The charm and dignity you will
want for that very special event is
reflected in the stately gown cen
tered in the above picture. Here
you see a most pleasing fabric-sav
ing silhouette interpreted with fine
black crush-resistant velvet. Be as
sured that a correctly fitted founda
tion garment is giving the proper
basis for these suave lines. The
highspot in this elegant evening
gown is the unique flower pockets,
each formed of a huge, luscious,
many-petaled velvet poppy in blend
ed shades of rose, orchid and blue.
Fine rayon crepe in the now-so
fashionable purple makes the deft
ly styled dress to the left in the
group illustrated above; Magenta
faced peplum ruffles placed at the
hips accent the suave fit of the long
torsoed bodice and the pencil-slim
lines of the skirt. The color tones
so adroitly combined suggest the
rich fuchsia tones which are creat
ing a sensation this season in their
superb beauty. Needless to say, the
statuesque lines, such as this gown
delineates, demand an expertly cor
seted figure.
Soft-textured black rayon crepe
achieves a perfect silhouette for the
glamorous gown pictured to the
right in the above illustration. The
decorative, glistening bead embroi
dery at the front of the slender skirt
is repeated at the base of the flat
tering sweetheart neck. The color
scheme of this delicate embroidery
in soft pastel is enchanting.

White Lambskin
This most attractive lambskin
jacket is in the popular “winter
I white." The idea of white hats, white
! coats, white wool dresses for win
ter wear has completely captured
the fancy of the young set. The
yoke, cuffs and wide pocket binding
are of leather in bright color. The
j “glitter" buttons have a glint of
green in them, complementing the
bright green felt that combines with
white lambskin to make the jaunty
| overseas cap.
In One Color
The vogue for costumes carried
out in a one-color scheme is gaining
increasing attention. Best dressed
j women are finding definite appeal
in the idea of matching hat, foot
wear, gloves, bag and other acces
sory details to the color of dress
and coat, or suit.
Dyeing Lengthens
Life of Stockings
Prior to Pearl Harbor, it was
nobody’s business but your own
if you discarded things before their
usefulness had expired Today it is
the nation's business. The watch
word is conservation, and millions
of women are serving by conserv
ing. They are extracting every
ounce of utility from their belong
ings.
In the matter of their hosiery, a
surprising number of women arc
freshening the color of their hose
by dyeing them You can get spo
cial dyes developed after months of
research for stockings made of ny
lon, silk, rayon, lisle, cotton and
also wool and mixtures
The encouraging thing about these
modern dyes is that no boiling is
necessary. You simply dissolve a
little of the dye in sufficient warm
water to cover the stockings com
pletely, then you dip them in, turn
ing and moving about until the de
sired shade is attained. If you wish
to get a new, different color, or il
you are going to re-dye odd stock
ings to a matching color, first use
color remover then tint your stock
ings to the color you desire.
Color-Match a Feathered
Turban to Dinner Mouse
If you have a charming dinner
blouse in reserve with a color
matched little feather chapeau, to
gether with a formal black skirt in
either crepe or velvet, you can dress
up at a moment's notice so fetch
ingly you will be attracting admir
ing glances wherever you go.
A high necked and long sleeved
blouse in coral color, light blue, or
fuchsia red with a pert little feather
turban in an exact match carries a
guarantee of being well dressed for
the dinner and dancing engage
ments you’ll be keeping with gallant
men-folk home on furlough.

THERE’S a radio installa
tion on Corregidor that is
so well camouflaged that the
man who set it up says that
he’s the only person who can
ever find it. He manned it
during the siege, and some
day he’s going to go back and 1
use it again—and also salvage
some of the equipment he used, be
cause it belongs to him. When he
wasn’t using it for official purposes,
it meant a lot to him personally,
which should mean a lot to certain
American band leaders—because be
tween bomb explosions, he tuned in
on their music!

Martha LafTerty was too long a
name to be used on a theater mar

name to Janet Blair, because they
were sure that her name would be
up in lights before long. Janet, now
working in “Something to Shout
About,” selected that last name
from Blair county, Pennsylvania,
where she was born. It was her
work in "My Sister Eileen” that
landed her name on the marquees.

couldn’t notify him that he was to

Broadway’s burlesque wave has
