Not All Sri for Hiflftrsl Job
Since the days of John Paul Jones, founder of the United
States navy, the story of our navy has been one long chapter
of splendid progress. While many glorious victories have
already been rolled up by the U. S. navy in World War II,
yet, in the language of John Paul Jones, "we have just begun
to fight." Whatever may be ahead, the navy will come
through. These pictures give you some of the reasons why.
In the picture above, Ameri
can soldiers are being trans
ferred from a navy launch to a
smaller boat during maneuvers
designed to acquaint both sol
diers and sailors with amphib
ious tcarfare. Picture shows the.
troops in regular battle dress.

two U. S. navy pre-flight cadets
demonstrate the proper method
of disarming a foe in hand-to
hand combat. It's done realis
tically, too.

Her Own Bolero
IT’S true, not every little girl can
* boast a bolero dress of her
own! This one is something very
special with its heart-shaped neck,
huge pockets and bow-tied belt.
The bolero itself might be worn
with other dresses.

When armored knights met. It
was customary for each knight to
raise the visor of his helmet as a
means of identification. This ges
ture has come down through all
armies in the form of the salute.
Traditional, too, is the Army man’s
preference for Camel cigarettes.
With men in the Army, Navy, Ma
rines, and Coast Guard, actual
sales records in their service
stores show that Camel is the
favorite. It’s one of the favorite
gifts with service men. And though
there are Post Office restrictions
on packages to overseas Army
men, you can still send Camels to
soldiers in the U. S., and to men
in the Navy, Marines, and Coast
Guard wherever they are.—Adv.
Width Whittier
UERE is a real irresistible—a
* beautifully cut princess that
whittles your width down to the
minimum. It has such charm, too,
with its neck-to-hem parade of

be able to put it down once she
starts sewing on it! Sew and Save.

25 Tons of Violets for
One Ounce of Perfume
Ever since the dawn of civiliza
tion woman has used perfume as
an allure. At one time, when
baths were looked upon as both
unhealthy and ungodly, perfume
was a necessity, but since then
women have used it as an added
attraction, something that accen
tuated their femininity.
Some of the best perfume came
from France, Italy and the Bal
kans. In those countries perfume
making was a very important
trade, and millions of roses, jas
mine, violets, and other flowers
were harvested. These were
bruised, boiled, and pulped until
they had given up their oils.
The petals were boiled in wa
ter, the steam caught and con
densed, and the essential oils
skimmed from the surface. It was
an expensive process, too, for it
took 3,500,000 roses to make one
quart of pure perfume. One ounce
of pure violet perfume was the re
sult of the compression and pulp
ing of 25 tons of blooms.
When the oil was finally ex
tracted it was very strong, and a
single ounce of it would be suffi
cient for many thousands of bot
tles.

60 Was Basic Number
Unit in Ancient Babylon
The ancient Babylonian numer
ical system had 60, not 10, for
its basic unit, reports Dr. George
C. Cameron, University of Chi
cago archeologist who has been ;
deciphering thousands of clay tab- 1
lets.
While 10 can be factored evenly
only by one, two, five and itself,
the Eabylonian unit had the ad
vantage that it could be factored
by one, two, three, four, five, six,
ten, twelve, fifteen, twenty, thirty
and itself.

Hard to Stomach
The smallest member of the
United States senate was Georgia’s
Alexander H. Stevens, later vice
president of the Confederacy. He
was less than five feet tall and
weighed somewhat under 80
pounds.
One day an out-sized western
congressman, stung into a fury by
the barbed remarks of the little
Georgian, shouted: "You! You!
Why, I could swallow you and
never know I’d et a thing!”
Replied Senator Stevens: "In
that case you’d have more brains
in your belly than you ever had
in your head."
