WILLIAMSPORT, Pa.—<UJ?>—A
determined young female reporter,

The bag, borrowed from Lycom-

the Civil War when Northerners
migrating to the Sdu(h to profit
from unsettled reconstruction
conditions-etwried- aH their posses-
sions in them. The men became
known as "carpetbaggers."
Taking up a male news editor's
challenge that no one would detect
the difference between "an over-
sized handbag that women carry
today" and the historic carpetbag,

Well, if this greaaat American nation is going to take over a lot of,!
additional Islands and territories after the war is over, it had better
make up its mind on how such places ate going to be fun.
TT isn't just the ex-Jap-mandated islands or the existing U. S. terri-
tories and possessions that need to be worried about. You should
have heard Congressman Ham Fish of Hew York, the old public

In the Washington works is one proposal to end all this by arbltrar-
, ily putting the whole territorial management business slap dab in the
Navy. It is a bill being prepared by the Navy at the request of smart
young Congressman W. Sterling Cole of Bath, N. Y.
His proposal to vest all territorial government in the Navy will
probably be shot at from many quarters.

"Oh. Tam, it's so wonderful to
have you here! I keep pinching
myself to make sure I'm not
dreaming.”
Susan stood in the entrance to
the mess tent of the French
troops’ encampment and gazed up
at her tall, lanky husband.
The oldfamiliar gamin grin split
his face. “Your remarks, lassie,
tend toward the repetlous: They

At stoke is the shaping up of some sort of an American post-war

eyes widening in- surprise. She
saw his thunderous expression.
